Five Easy to Use Hair Products

Five Easy to Use Hair Products

By Jonathan J Russell

Everybody loves their hair. After all, it protects your head. Plus, it's nice to touch, and it can easily add flair to your style. But sometimes, achieving that style is hard to do. Brushing your luscious locks can only take you so far. When you really want to add style you need a hair styling product! But which one is right for you?

Wax. Do you have short to medium hair? Then wax may do the best choice for you. If you have a long or thick mane, it may not be effective at all. Wax gives a natural shine to your tresses. It's best used for creating a spiky look or for creating the bed head look. It has a medium hold that can last an entire day. But the greatest thing about wax is that you can restyle it! Put it on, then style. Change your mind? Style it again. And you only need to apply the product once.

Pomades. Do you need to add texture and gloss to your coiffure? Use pomades! This product can be used on just about any hair type. Some pomades even moisturize and condition your 'do while styling it! It's also quite economical because a little goes a long way. You shouldn't use a lot of it anyway. Add too much and you will end up with an oily look. Pomades can also be difficult to remove, so remember to wash it out thoroughly.

Hairspray. A styling product that was popular enough to be the title of a movie. It must be awesome! Hairspray thickens your mop and adds shine. Some even include sun protection. Hairsprays should be applied on a wet locks so that you can style and mold it. Or if your tresses have already been molded, finish it with hairspray. It's very easy to apply. Just remember to cover your eyes! The only drawback? It can make your crowning glory look stiff and dry. Not to mention thee that it does have a strong smell.

Gel. This one is very good at keeping styles in place. Best of all, there is a type of gel for every hair type and style! Gel can do anything; scrunch, freeze, sculpt and mold. And it can do so very efficiently. But gels that are based on alcohol can dry your hair. Cheep or awful gels even leave dandruff-like flakes.

Mousse. Currently just as popular as when it had its heyday in the 80's, mousse gives your coiff an attractive sheen. It's especially good for thin or fine strands. It can and it will provide your thinning mane with a thick and full appearance. Some mousse can even add color to some graying tufts! The downside of mousse is that it sometimes doesn't have as much hold as some like, and using too much can only leave a person with a greasy look.

These are the five greatest hair styling products to choose from. Experiment with each one, and find the one for you!

CP - Get Beach Waves in the Colder Months

Courtesy Post

You don’t have to go to the beach to get that tousled summer hair. Wavy hair adds that much needed bounce to your hair during colder months. Due to lack of moisture, the hair becomes very static. Don’t have time for styling products? Wavy hair in winter hardly requires any styling tools. I am a big fan of natural waves. To get the look, all that you have to do is let them get blown in the wind. The cold winds just enhance the look.

All that you have to do is apply some hair serum after towel drying your hair. Give a slight crunch with your hands and let the hair dry as you walk towards the bus stop or subway. If it’s freezing outside, then I suggest using a hair dryer. You don’t want to end up in bed with a cold.

When you are pressed for time, you can wash the hair at night, towel dry and apply the wavy hair serum. Tie your hair in a loose braid and let it stay overnight. When you wake up the next morning, just undo your plait and get soft waves. To get the wilder Vanessa Hudgens look, you can tie the hair in three or four braids instead.

The hair waver is a styling tool that helps you set your hair the professional way. You can get long or short waves, wild or soft look, or any other wavy style. As a rule of thumb, never overheat the product when you are in a rush. It won’t help your style any faster but will surely risk burning it.

CP- Keeping Your Hair Healthy

Keeping your hair healthy

Hair is the ultimate crowning glory to any girl. It can add to your overall look instantly. Keeping it in healthy condition is the most important thing you can do to help it look and feel fabulous. And, while it seems easy, this isn’t as simple as minimizing chemical treatments or using on a weekly deep conditioner. These can surely make your hair softer, less split-end-prone and manageable but what really matters is how you daily handle them. Keeping it safe from chemicals, stress, sun damage, dirt and pollution, washing often is all included in basic hair care.

Here are some dos and don’ts from hair care:

• Brush before shampooing. A few gentle strokes on dry hair with the boar bristle hair brush will help remove scalp flakes, as well as stimulate the scalp and promote blood flow which is very good for hair follicles to pull in all the moisture and vitamins in your shampoo and conditioner.
• Trim your troubles. As the ends of your hair get older and damaged by rough handling, they become prone to splitting. Spilt ends are one of the most common problems to every hair type. Trimming them an inch every now and them will keep them healthy and allow then to grow well further.
• The products you use should be well checked by you. If you have colored hair, use colored hair products. Colored hair is weak till a long time. Don’t forget to deep condition them and never brush them when wet. Use a wide tooth comb or brush if needed.
• Beans, yogurt, almonds, vitamin E, vitamin B, fish and loads of water should be included in your daily diet. Anything unhealthy you eat will immediately show up in your health and vice versa. You can use natural ingredients for conditioning like egg and yogurt too.
• NEVER go to bed with your hair wet! Hair that is half wet is most easily broken, and if you sleep during this time, your hair will be rubbing against each other, damaging your hair in the most terrible way.
• Try an ionic dryer. Ions are atoms with a positive or negative charge. These particular hair-dryers bathe your hair in negative ions, which help break up water molecules faster and cancel out hair-damaging positive ions. Heat is however harmful to hair. Use heat protecting lotions and sprays.

Whether your concern is dullness, damage, frizz or fragility try some of these tips and be sure of have beautiful tresses! Remember, hair quantity doesn’t matter. It’s the quality of your hair that matters.
