Locs – the hair style

Dec 152012

No combs or brushes necessary; no wonder she’s smiling.

Starting Out

Palm roll method

-Part a section of hair, place the length between your palms and roll the hair between your hands. It will form a cylindrical shape.

Twist method

-Part a section of hair, then divide that section into two parts. Twist them around each other until you reach the ends.

Free-form locks

-Shampoo condition and apply your oils, but do not comb. Shampoo however often you wish, but do not remove the shed hairs. After a while the shed hairs will form masses that you will not be able to untangle.

If you hair texture is tightly curled enough, you shouldn’t need any products to help it lock. If you must use something, choose a light gel or wax.

Basic Styling
During the first six months, you may find your locks hard to control; they may fly everywhere. Eventually they will begin to “drop” and you’ll have more versatility. Locks can be plaited then loosened for a crinkled effect; you can even set them on rollers. Stylist recommend that you avoid shampooing for the first 3 to 4 weeks since water will loosen the locks. You can however cleanse your scalp with cotton pads soaked in witch hazel or a mild astringent, and apply oil as necessary.

Pay Attention To
-The size you make your locks. If they’re too small, they will thin out and break off!

Avoid
Heavy shampoos and conditioners and styling products. Locks are 3-dimensional: they have length, width, and depth. Using heavy products are it difficult to rinse throughly from locks.

Cornrows and Braids

Dec 142012

When I was a child, my mother used to plait my hair up all the time, and I hated it. Flash forward 10 years… Guess what I started wearing after my ‘fro grew out…

The Difference
Cornrow: plaited on to the scalp; doesn’t move
Braid: plaited away from the scalp and hangs freely

Basic Styling:
If you find it hard to shampoo your hair when it’s plaited, try this: Get an empty bottle (a shampoo bottle preferably), squeeze in a little of your favorite shampoo and add 2-3 cups of water. Close the top and shake until the bottle is full of lather. Pour the lather onto your hair and massage it in. Repeat if need.

Extensions?
Extensions do make cornrows and braids last longer, but they aren’t necessary.

Pay Attention To:
Neat and even partings, especially if you’re plaiting your hair yourself.
-Stray hairs & fuzziness: signs that it’s time for the style to be redone

Importent facts about women hair loss

Dec 062012

An estimated 25 million American women are losing their hair.
For women, hair loss usually comes as a surprise. Thinning during middle age can be pronounced. It is far more common than women realize.

Women are losing hair for reasons other than chemotherapy. Though hair loss afflicts some teenagers and young adults, dermatologist say the majority are women between the ages of 40 and 55, some starting as early as their 30′s. That means millions of baby boomers are starting to lose their hair. Making hair loss one of the most ignored yet wide spread, problems among women.

About 20% of affected women endure significant hair thinning. Less than 5% lose their hair as men do, shedding clumps across the crown. Women’s hair loss is usually more diffuse, but many will have the same reseeding hair line seen in balding men. Still for most affected women, the impact of mild thinning runs far deeper than the roots of follicles. Continue reading »

Use Hair Products to maintain healthy long hair

Dec 012012

The easiest thing to do with long, straight hair is to just brush it. After you take your morning shower, blow dry your hair and brush all the tangles out. (Don’t air dry because this can often make your hair puffy and frizzy all day). Use some hairspray to keep your hair in place (light or medium hold, a maximum hold can often make your hair too stiff).

If you have lots of hair, I would strongly advise against putting it up in a ponytail because your hair will hurt when you let it back down. (Trust me, I know!) Ponytails are great ideas if you don’t have as much hair.

Another good option for any type of hair is putting it into pigtails. Part in the middle and braid the two parts. Make sure you use hairspray to keep it in place. This way, your hair won’t completely fall apart by the end of the day. (Sometimes those stupid little hairs can fall out, and hairspray will keep those in check!) Pigtails are easy, simple, and quick. You just need 5-10 minutes. It’s also really cute on girls!

A tip for getting haircuts: layers! Layers look good on girls with longer hair. You can curl the shorter sections of hair towards your face, really framing it and making you look gorgeous!

If you have long wavy hair, work with your hair to enhance its look. You can add bounce and texture to curls using various hair products–including mousse, hairspray. You can also use curling irons to enhance your natural curls. After you get out of the shower, let your hair air dry and see what happens. Continue reading »

Help! I am Losing Hair

Nov 102012

Sounds like a serious cry for help but losing hair at a young age is no joke. Are you someone who faces this problem? We talks about the reasons why you could be losing hair and what you can do about it

For many of us, our hair is our crowning glory. It sets your self-esteem (depending on whether you are having a good or bad hair day), determines how you feel through the day and is at times your best and most remembered feature.

With such importance played on hair, it is no wonder why it becomes a major issue when we start noticing more strands than usual falling off. What’s even more worrying is that while losing hair is an easy thing to happen, re-growing hair can be quite difficult and complicated. Prevention is definitely better in this situation; unfortunately in some cases, this may not seem possible at all.

But what really constitutes hair loss? Could the sight of your hair thinning be a major concern or merely just an overreaction on your end? A person loses an average of 300 hairs per day. While this may seem like an excessive amount of hair, rest assure that it is perfectly normal to lose that much hair.

When you lose hair due to stress, it is known as Alopecia Aerate, in which you experience unexplained hair loss that occurs in localized patches.

For example, going through a period of mourning will bring upon such unexplained hair loss due to the stress and turbulence of emotions you are going through. While it may be a temporary thing, this condition can worsen if you don’t do anything about it.

Hair Thinning After Childbirth

Sep 042012

After pregnancy, it is common for women to experience temporary hair thinning.

While a woman is pregnant, and hormonal changes are occurring, more hair follicles enter the growth phase than normal. About two to three months after childbirth, the normal hair cycle returns and many hairs re-enter the resting phase, which causes excessive shedding to occur.

When this happens, a woman’s hair will start to shed more than usual. As a result, most women will usually notice large amounts of hair in their combs or bathtubs.

The good news is that this is a temporary condition, and as hormone levels in the body return to pre-pregnancy levels after about six months, the excessive shedding normally ends.

If the condition does not change after six months, a woman may be experiencing hereditary hair thinning which was masked by childbirth. A dermatologist can help make a proper diagnosis.

Online guide to hair loss: learn the basics before you buy any treatment

Jul 272012

Before you consider purchasing a hair loss product, it makes sense to learn a little about hair loss– and growth. So we’ll go over how hair grows, why people lose their hair, and potential causes of hair loss. We’ll also cover the main ways to stop hair loss and regrow hair.

How Hair Grows

Best-Hair-Loss Before we get started, know that hair goes through different “stages”. About 90% of the hair on a person’s head is in a 2-6 year growth stage. The remaining 10% is in a 2-3 month resting phase. It is estimated that most people shed about 50-150 hairs per day. Upon shedding, the growth stage begins again as new hair from the follicle that shed replaces that hair. In normal hair growth, this process repeats itself for many years.

Most problems with hair loss occur when this natural rate of shedding exceeds the rate of regrowth (and/or the regrowth is thinner and shorter). Obviously this leads to baldness. Continue reading »

Understanding What Hair is And How it Grows

Jul 182012

You’ve probably heard that hair is a “dead” substance that cannot be revived or repaired, no matter what you do. Hair is made from a hard, fibrous protein called Keratin. Keratin is the same substance that makes up fingernails, which is why neither nails nor hair bleed or hurt when you cut them.

Hair has three layers: the cuticle, the cortex, and the medulla. The cuticle has overlapping scales that make the hair look shiny when they lie flat, and damaged when the scales are roughed up. The cortex contains your hair’s coloring pigment and gives the hair elasticity and strength. And the medulla gives hair its thickness.

Should You Consider Surgical Hair Restoration?

Jul 032012

Medical hair restoration is a field of cosmetic surgery that has seen great advances since the 1980s. The best candidates for surgical hair restoration are men who have good hair growth on the sides and back of their head and who do not have rapidly progressive male pattern baldness. Essentially, this is an issue of not waiting too long. If you have only a fringe of hair left, there is little that can be done for you.

Surgical Hair Restoration

Permanent hair transplant via surgical methods can be accomplished in a number of ways, either by harvesting follicles and relocating them to balding areas of the scalp or by removing the balding areas and stretching adjacent hair bearing tissue in to place to cover the gap created.

Determining Quality and Care

May 262012

Quality
Quality in hair transplantation is priceless and although we often tie quality, value, and price together; quality should never be compromised. Small, delicate grafts are critical to high quality results in hair transplantation. Value must be judged by evaluating both quality and cost. When comparing the cost of procedures offered by different medical groups, it must be an apples-to-apples comparison.

How many grafts will I receive in each session? What is the size of the grafts and how many hairs will each graft contain? How many hairs will be moved in each session?

Will I have sufficient donor hair after completion of this procedure for future hair restoration?

How much will I pay for each graft in each session? How many sessions will I need? What can I expect to pay for the entire hair restoration process?
