HOW to have GREAT HAIR

1. Determine a hair regimen for your hair type.They can vary enormously.There are a lot of hair types and you can find out yours on the internet or from a salon 



  • Wash your face at least twice a day, this will get rid of bacteria and germs on your face which can lead to your hair getting dirty.
  • Use good products that you know will be good for your hair.
  • Do not brush your hair too much. This can cause oil and grease to build up.

2. Eat healthy foods that aid the hair in staying strong and lustrous. Your diet can also prevent hair loss.
  • Essential fatty acids, especially omega-3 fatty acids, play a key role in skin, hair, and nails. You should eat some of these foods, which are rich in omega-3, every day:
    • Salmon, tuna, mackerel, and other fatty fish
    • Flax seed oil
    • Walnuts, almonds and Milk
  • Vitamins B-6, B-12, and folic acid are also important to your hair. Vegetarians and vegans often don't get enough of these vitamins.
    • Good sources of vitamin B-6 include bananas, potatoes (both white and sweet), and spinach.
    • Eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits and tomatoes, will help you get folic acid. Whole grain and fortified grain products, beans, and lentils also contain folic acid. Major sources of B-12 include meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products.
  • Protein is also critical for keeping hair healthy, but many people don't get enough. Lean meat like fish, chicken, eggs, and soy products are good sources of protein; eat one serving every day.
  • Trace minerals like magnesium and zinc also affect hair- it's a good idea to take a daily multivitamin.
3. Be Confident! On a bad hair day, smile and you'll be surprised how many compliments 

In and After the Shower

  1. Use cooler water to wash and rinse your hair the last time. The first mistake a lot of people make is rinsing your hair with hot or warm water. Hot showers are fabulous, but not for your hair. The next time you shower, wear a shower cap or pull your hair up into a pony tail where the water can't reach it until it's time to wash your hair. Then, let down your hair and use cold water when washing and rinsing your hair. It closes up the hair cuticles if you rinse with cold water, locking in moisture.
  2. 2
    Wash your hair the recommended amount. Clean hair is healthy hair.Wash every other day so the oils in your hair can nourish your hair. But dont get grimy. Massage shampoo into the scalp. Do this for about 40 seconds, wash out thoroughly and then repeat once more. pour conditioner into your hand filling the palm, rub from the tips of your hair to the root covering all your hair. If you want softer silkier looking hair leave the conditioner on for a few minutes. You can give yourself a deep conditioning treatment by sectioning the hair and covering it in conditioner. If you notice this causes your hair to become flat and unmanageable, only apply conditioner to your ends.
  3. 3
    Know your shampoo ingredients. Does it have a harsh lathering agent like ammonium lauryl sulfate, or a gentle one like sodium laureth sulfate? If so, change your shampoo to a gentler one.
  4. 4
    When you dry your hair, don't rub it with the towel. Wet/damp hair is the weakest state. So, if you rub/dry it with a towel, there are major chances some will fall out. You can blot it. You could also dry it with a blow dryer, but not too often, or it will get extremely dry. Never leave hair wet/damp when you go to bed since your hair can fall out at that time too.
  5. 5
    It is best to let your hair dry naturally; but if necessary use a heat protection spray which you spray on the hair while it is still wet and then blow dry, this will also protect hair from curlers/straighteners etc.
  6. 6
    Dry hair carefully. Do not wring it with the towel- blot instead. Also do not brush your hair while it is wet- instead use a wide-toothed comb. Take your brush and brush a small chunk of the front of you.
  7. 7
    Spray-on and leave-in conditioners help: leave-in conditioners penetrate deep into your hair cuticles and heal them more completely. So using them at least once a week will make all the difference. A spray-on conditioner is another great idea. It conditions your hair and makes it look manageable and beautiful.
  8. 8
    Brush your hair properly. Don't brush your hair too often or too much. Avoid brushing your hair while wet. Wet hair is stretchier and has a tendency to "snap". However, it is fine to detangle wet hair that is saturated with conditioner with a wide-toothed comb.
  9. 9
    Decide on the detangling tool(s) that are best for your hair. Generally, the thicker, coarser, or curlier the hair, the wider the comb teeth or brush bristles should be. People often claim that the best brushes are made of natural bristle like a boar bristle brush. They do help to spread the natural oil throughout your hair and they are softer on your hair. They are not as good for detangling however! If you are blow drying your hair, you should use a round brush with straightening bristles.

Styling and Care

  1. To get more shine, volume, and bounce in your hair, use hair creams, olive oil, or (this really works!) mayo and an egg. *Also, soaking your hair with full fat milk will help nourish the hair and restore its nutrients, this is a great method in getting healthy, strong hair*. Massage on head focusing on roots and ends. Wait for 2-3 hours, go into shower but do not use shampoo or conditioner. Rinse hair. The next day, thoroughly wash all oil out of hair, then style as usual. Your hair will be glossier. Do this treatment 1-2 times a week and voila, fabulous, gorgeous hair.
  2. 2
    Use heat tools only after applying heat protection. If you use curling irons, hot rollers, straighteners, or something like that, try not to use it often. Or, even better, don't use it at all! Heat can fry and damage your hair.
    • Styling products can dry your scalp if you use it directly at the scalp. Try not to use it often, but if you must, apply to hair strands and not the scalp.
  3. 3
    Have a trim every six to eight weeks. This will remove split ends and learn how to prevent split ends.
  4. 4
    Style your hair at most four times a week to avoid damaging it. A simple braid or an elegant one can be worn on days when you don't want to or shouldn't style your hair. It is easiest to add gel or mousse to curly hair when it is wet, instead of laboriously straightening it with a flat iron. Wavy hair can go either way and straight hair is low maintenance.
  5. 5
    Wear hair accessories. Clips or barrettes can compliment beautiful hair. Coordinate them with your outfits or your personality.
    • Hair ties: No rubber bands or elastics. They cause tangles and knots. Use fabric coated elastics.
  6. 6
    • Protect your hair: When you expose your hair to the sun it sucks even the healthiest hair's moisture out and keeps it looking dull. Instead, wear a hat to cover your hair or even a cap or a scarf is a good idea. If covering your hair isn't your style, try tying it up in a knot, bun or braid, while out in the sun. An alternative, is to "feed" your hair when out in the sunshine - find a moisturizing sun screen that you like to apply to your skin, and put some in your hair when you go hiking! The sun protective factor (SPF) will protect your hair from being sun burnt, just like it does your skin! And depending on the emollients in it, can actually help your hair get a nice "hot oil treatment," too!  

 

Tips

  • Hair is dead, only the roots are living– "healthy" hair is a purely a cosmetic term.
  • If you notice your hair is becoming dry wash it less frequently, so the natural oil balance can be restored. Instructions on shampoo bottles are designed to make you use it up and buy more– adjust the amount you use according to you haircare regime.
  • Invest in good styling products and supplies.
  • Organic shampoos are good to use- they are usually gentler and healthier for your hair.
  • Thoroughly rinse hair before swimming so it doesn't absorb the chlorine, and thoroughly wash hair afterward to get rid of chlorine.
  • The best shampoos are ones you have tried and make your hair look good. Buy shampoo designed for your hair type and needs. If you are willingly to spend extra money, go to a salon, talk to a hairdresser about recommended shampoos and conditioners, and purchase one.
  • You can usually tell when it's time to wash your hair, because it will start getting oily at the roots. If you wash it too often, it causes frizz. If you don't wash it often enough, that causes dandruff.
  • Do not overuse shine products to control frizzes -- they often contain silicone that can coat your hair after just a few applications and can prove harmful.
  • To prevent damage, wet your hair with tap water before you swim. The more wet your hair before you swim, the less salt water and chlorine it will absorb.
  • Always wash your hair after you swim to get the chlorine out. Try swimming with a swim cap on.
  • Protect your hair from the sun with a large, floppy hat or hair products that contain sunscreen.
  • Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase--cotton pillowcases make hair look dry; they suck out the moisture and can cause frizz.
  • If you have very dry hair choose a deep conditioner and apply at the ends on dry hair. Leave it in overnight and sleep on it, then make sure you fully rinse it out in the morning, but do not wash it. Your hair will be noticeably different (in a good way)!
  • Unless you have extra greasy hair it's actually a BAD thing to wash your hair every single day. You are washing away your hair's own precious moisture and oil.
  • When using hairspray, make sure you wash out thoroughly as it will damage the cuticle in the hair; this is how split ends are caused.
  • Always use heat protection spray when using heat appliances on your hair. 

Warnings

  • Don't dye, perm, or relax your hair too often! Doing this makes hair less healthy. Use a good ammonia-free hair dye with olive oil to keep it healthy and deep condition after. A good alternative to dying your hair is henna. Not only does it make your hair brown or red, but it's also really good for your hair.
  • A summer swim can be great, but chlorinated water can damage your hair big time! If you are frequent swimmer try wearing a cap.
  • Not washing your hair properly, or even frequent use of hair sprays and gels can cause dandruff.
  • Hair dryers and hot curling related tools heat up your hair and sometimes make your hair look dry.
  • If you have curly hair try not to wash it everyday as this could dry out your hair, causing breakage.
  • If you choose to straighten your hair, straighten it with a nice flat iron. CHI is a great brand.

  • Conditioner
  • Brush
  • Comb
  • Barrettes/headbands (optional)
  • Hair cap (optional)

Fun Summer Hair Styles for 2012


Retro 70's is the hot hair news for Summer 2012 ....



2011 hair trends
The 70's are back...with summer
hairstyles ranging from neon punk to
Jessica Simpson rockabilly....
The pony tail and bob continue to be hot looks, with last year's 80's style pixie cuts and spikey fringes giving way to retro looks of the 70's.
This summer, jump on the bandwagon as the Occupy Wall Street movement inspires a solid return to a new age of social and fashion rebellion...

SUMMER COLOR

Gone are the bold and bright highlights of summer's past, as this year's runway hair colors were seen ranging from solid auburn to red to platinum blond. Also rockin' has been the Ombre hair color trend (dark roots gradually fading to light) that is predicted to go full swing into the summer.
For those who like to color outside the box, there are also some highly unusual looks to try this season including neon blues, reds, and greens for a fun '70's punk rock look. If you're feeling especially frisky, 70's rockabilly hair (a la Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke) is another look returning to the summer scene in 2012.
Finally, if you really want to turn heads, how about the new way-out color that everyone's talking about -- gray hair! -- with pop stars such as Pink, Katy Perry, and others showing up on the red carpet sporting silver and gun metal gray mops. 

SUMMER 2012- CUTS FROM THE CAT WALK

Styles, lengths and cuts were once again all over the place at the Spring-Summer 2012 fashion events including buns, rolls and bobs, looped-under ponytails, and even big bouncy hair celebrating everything 70's blow-dried!
Don't forget the curling iron for a return of elaborate homemade curls also seen on 2012 spring/summer runways.
On the flip side, parted hair is also popular this summer, either placed on the side or straight up the middle, combined with another new hot hair trend this year - the wet look.
Fringe
Still very hot for summer 2012, fringe cuts were tops on many of the runway's top models. Fringe can add elegance or make a bold statement. Look for variations with fringe cuts to bring out your personality and facial structure. Soft and wispy fringes, casual choppy edges and strong bold lines will all be hot. You'll find fringe cuts that go full length, others flowing mid length or brought forward into the eye. It's all about having fun, being sexy and being yourself


Actress Jennifer Aniston
remains a hair fashion icon
with a layered look and
super subtle highlights.


Layers
The cut that complements all the others in high fashion circles this season is lengths of layers with casual textures. The natural look is easy to create with layers of unstyled, free moving hair. Not a lot of curl but plenty of slightly tousled waves added to the volume and texture make this a fun way to style your hair.
Afros
Yes, the '70s afro is back! Forget the strong silhouette of decades past. This time around, the current fashion is for a softer look with curly texture and caramel highlights for a luxurious and breezy look for the summer of 2012.
