Dark hair is not becoming for mature women
This is one mature hairstyle myth that women with naturally dark hair have proven to be just that, a myth. Dark hair is not at all aging, in fact the choice of the right shade of dark color can be very flattering, won’t make you look older and will bring to the surface the quality of your skin tone.
Of course, a lighter hair color will conceal graying hair but darker hair tones with lowlights and highlights exquisitely applied will have the same effect of hiding the grey and making you look younger at the same time.

That mature women need not care for their hair
Just because as you mature your hair seems to lose volume and shine is no reason for you to stop caring for your hair. In fact, this is when your hair needs care most. Hair that looks limp and lifeless will add years to your looks. Having a regular hair maintenance routine will give back life and health to your hair. Proper washing, use of quality hair products to condition your hair and monthly hair pampering and treatment such as hot oil treatment and hair loss prevention treatment will ensure that your tresses are as full-bodied and healthy for as long as possible.

That you need to cover or hide grey hair
Grey is a trendy hair color and there is no reason to be ashamed of graying hair, as long as you can make the shift to grey as graceful as possible. There are hair colors that can help blend grey hairs to a complimentary shade. You can also use color highlights to softly fuse your grey hairs with your original hair color until such time as your hair grows into a grey color that is so trendy these days.

That long hair is not for mature women
By now you already know that a great haircut, regardless of the length, is the secret to a flattering look whether you’re young or more mature. Even thinning hair, which most women experience as they age can be styled longer as long as the hair is given layers that add volume to the hair.

A pretty ponytail is also the best solution for a bad-hair day or for those days when washing your hair is next to impossible because of time constraint. This however, does not preclude a pretty ponytail from being a super elegant updo for special evening affairs such as a red carpet affairs, as proven by many celebrity style icons such as Jennifer Aniston, Lauren Conrad, Jennifer Connelly, Kate Beckinsale, Christinna Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon and many more.
If you want to look super cool and fabulous this summer, here’s a hair tutorial: the pretty ponytail as your guide for this classic yet trendy hairstyle.

What you will need:
• Two (2) clear elastics or rubber bands
• Several bobby pins
• Comb and paddle brush
• Hairspray

What you should do:
• Remove any hair tangles by brushing the hair all the way back with a paddle brush leaving no part on the hair
• Using a comb, gather your hair at the back with your head tipped back slightly. Leaning or tipping back will prevent bumps and part lines. Gathered hair should be at the level of the eyes.
• Secure the gathered hair with the two clear rubber bands, wrapping it tightly around the gathered hair in at least three loops to prevent it from sagging and from looking sloppy
• Take a small section from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic
• Mist the finished style lightly with hairspray

Neck length is an essential factor in the choice of a hairstyle and just as important as the face shape of a girl. Short hairstyles have a tendency to make long necks look longer whereas long hair on girls with short necks makes the neck look shorter and stubbier. The best way to select the perfect hairstyle is to choose a length that compliments the neck length. The hairstyles for girls with long necks should not emphasize the length and short hairstyles or updos or upswept hairstyles should therefore be avoided.

Other hairstyles for girls with long neck are long layered hairstyles. Although layered hairstyles are flattering for almost all face shapes, girls with long necks and thinning hair are most benefited by layered hairstyles since the long layers camouflage the long neck and give the style more volume and bounce. For girls with long necks and oval, square or round faces layers of the hair should start from just below the chin. Layered hairstyles for girls with long necks and triangular or heart shape faces should have the layers start from just below the ears. When done properly and the correct length of the layers provided to the right face shapes, long layered hairstyles re super gorgeous and fabulous. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

The cause of greasy hair is an imbalance in the secretion of sebum by the sebaceous glands. Sebum is an oily secretion that protects the scalp from pollution and gives the hair a lovely shine. It is when the secretion becomes too heavy that greasy hair occurs. This condition could be brought about by many factors, genetics being the most common. Other causes that could aggravate the condition are poor diet, anxiety and stress, changing shampoo very often or too much chemical hair colors.

One of the best ways of taking care of greasy hair is with the use of a gentler shampoo containing neutral pH or a shampoo specially made for greasy hair. Shampooing your hair with this shampoo as often as you want or when your hair needs to be shampooed will not exacerbate the condition. When you shampoo your hair, dilute the product with water and don’t leave it on for long. Rinse it off quickly too.

Another way of taking care of greasy hair is avoiding baby shampoos since this type of shampoo, though gentler, produces oil that will worsen the greasy condition of the hair. Avoid also washing your hair with hot water, instead thoroughly rinse it with cold water to close the pores of the scalp. Avoid also vigorously scrubbing your hair and scalp as you wash it. A gentle massage of the scalp before applying the shampoo is a better option. When drying your hair, gently pat it with a terry towel to get rid of the wetness but don’t dry it by towel-rubbing it. Blow dry your hair with low temperature rather than with very hot air.

Step 1
The first step to straight hair without a straightener is to shampoo and condition hair with tepid water using a smoothing shampoo and conditioner
Step 2
The next step to straight hair without a straightener is to rinse it with cold water, as cold as you can stand. After rinsing out all the hair products from your hair, rinse it again with cold water. This will close the pores of the scalp and smoothen the hair cuticles.
Step 3
The next step to straight hair without a straightener involves applying a leave-in conditioner or heat protecting product after you towel dry your hair, paying close attention to the tips of the strands. After the application, gently comb the hair with a wide-tooth comb.
Step 4
Blow dry your hair with the use of the dryer’s nozzle set in medium heat. Blow dry the hair section by section from root to tip using a round brush.
Step 5
The next step to straight hair without straightener is change the setting of the dryer to cool and run it through your entire head of hair while brushing it once the hair is totally dry. This will set the style.
Step 6
The last step to straight hair without straightener is to apply a apply a small amount of shine or smoothing serum from the middle of the strands to the tips.
Now, you have a chic straight hairstyle without using a straightener! Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

• The first and most important tip to boost your hair’s volume is to have a balanced and healthy diet. Like your body, your hair needs proper nourishment to keep it healthy and full of life. Eat food rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron zinc, copper and Vitamins B,C, & F that promote a healthy growth of hair.
• Use a clarifying shampoo at least once a week to wash out any product build up on your hair. This will make your hair weightless and full of bounce
• Massage your scalp and hair with warm oil to encourage the circulation of blood and to make the roots healthy before you shampoo your hair.
• If you have to use a voluminizing product make sure that you apply it on the roots and don’t overdo it. Too much of this product especially when applied on the shaft or strands will weigh down your hair and make it look flat and unnatural.
• Apply a small amount of dry shampoo at the hair’s roots to provide volume to the hair since this will soak the oil up.
• Use hair products that are protein rich. What protein does is to bind the hair to provide it with fullness and thickness
• Blow dry your hair flipped upside down. This will fluff up your hair and give it bounce and volume
• Refrain from washing hair every day. On days that you want your hair to look voluminous, don’t wash it. A newly wash hair falls flat and limp.
