Nov 272012

During the winter months, your heat goes up, the T.V. is on more often and your hair gets drier than any other time of the year. Combine this winter dryness with coloring your hair, blow-drying everyday, and using a thermal tool like a curling iron, and you have one big, moisture needing, frizzy, head of hair. Switching over from your regular shampoo and conditioner to a hydrating line will prove to be worlds of help. When you are trapped indoors with the heat blaring your hair is being dried out by the lack of moisture. Using a hydrating shampoo and conditioner will help improve the quality of your hair and add in that much needed moisture. If you use a lot of heat on your hair (i.e. blow dryer, flat iron, etc.)you should also be using a repairing treatment. Continue reading »

Hair Recipes

1. Protein Conditioner
Mix a dollop of mayonnaise (protein and conditioning) with an egg (protein) and apply to hair. Twist hair up on head and put on a shower cap so the heat speeds up the penetration. Leave on as long as desired, then rinse in cool or tepid water. Hot water will cook the egg, making it nearly impossible to get out!

**I really like this. I left it on for almost an hour one day, and it worked great! I had to shampoo my hair gently to get rid of the greasy mayonnaise, and then conditioned with my regular conditioner. It revitalized my hair, added softness, and shine! Big improvement!**

Great Styling Techniques You Can Try At Home

May 142012

Texturizing Hair
Apply a small amount of mousse (or styling balm or gel) evenly through partially dried hair to create volume and texture. Working from the underneath of the hair use your fingers to lift, tease and tousle the hair as you blow dry. Select small sections of hair, use your fingers to scrunch and apply heat. Direct the airflow of the dryer from the ends of your hair towards the roots to maximize fullness. If you prefer, you can use a dryer with a finger diffuser to give even more tousle. You can also use a small curling iron to touch up the ends if you wish. Then work molding or styling paste through with your fingers to create texture. Avoid using combs or brushes on the finished style to maintain absolute tousle.

Ways to Straighten Hair

Purchasing the proper appliance is key. The first and most important thing in styling any hair type is to find the proper appliance for your hair type. For straightening, it is obvious that you would want to use a flat iron. As with anything, there are degrees of quality in hairstyling appliances – good, better, and best. “Good” flat irons are usually made of gold, or some other metal. They generally do not get very hot, and because the metal is such a poor conductor of heat, it is common to have “hot spots”. A “hot spot” is an area of the plate that is hotter than the rest of the plate. These generally go up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. These are the irons you get at Wal-Mart for twenty five dollars. “Better” flat irons have plates an...
