QUICK STYLING TIPS, FOR COOL SUMMER HAIR
QUICK STYLING TIPS, FOR COOL SUMMER HAIR
There are many hair styling tips which will allow you to make your hair styling session safer and more efficient. By changing a few simply aspects of your morning hair-styling routine, you can make your hair look healthier as well as make your morning run a bit more smoothly.
1. Using a nozzle with your hairdryer can be particularly effective in allowing you to blow dry your hair more smoothly and effectively. The best part about nozzles and diffusers is that they can be used to blow dry any type of hair- curly, wavy or straight!
2. Make sure your hair is dry. If you are using a flat iron or curling iron, you will want to make absolutely positive that you hair is completely dry. If you try to apply a heating iron to wet hair, you will run the risk of severely damaging or burning your hair. Even if a small piece of your hair is only moderately damp, you best option is not to risk it.
3. Run you flat iron all the way through your hair. If you continuously start and stop while running a flat iron through your hair, you can cause damage and dryness to your locks. Additionally, your hairstyle won’t look as good because leaving a flat iron in one spot for too long can cause dents.
4. Lastly, when using a curling iron, make sure that the tip of your hair is tucked along with the curler. Otherwise, you will find that your hair dents near the ends.
2010 WINTER HAIR - HOW TO AVOID SPLIT ENDS
WINTER HAIR - HOW TO AVOID SPLIT ENDS
Split ends are some of the most annoying things about hair that has ever existed. While there are many products that say they will fix your split ends, none of them actually can repair that much damage. At best, they can seal, smooth, and coat the break but it’s only a temporary fix. To fix split ends, avoid them. Here’s how.
1. Don’t brush wet hair. This will make your hair stretch, and if it’s wet, it can stretch up to 25%! This is when your hair is very vulnerable. Use a wide toothed comb to detangle your hair instead and comb very gently and evenly.
2. Avoid blow drying on a daily basis. This goes for curling irons, flat irons, and anything else that uses heat on your hair. Heat causes a lot of damage and will lead to split ends. If you can, let your hair air dry at least once a week.
3. Blot your hair with a towel rather then rubbing. Rubbing causes breaks and splits, so a gentle blot might take longer, but you’ll avoid the breaks.
4. If you have chemically treated your hair (colored, permed, or anything else) make sure you use products made for that. These products help repair damage and help to preventsplit ends.
5. Don’t use plain rubber bands on your hair. These damage hair and can even rip it out by the roots. Pick bands that actually are made for hair and that say “no damage.”
6. Eat healthy. A bad diet will show up first in your hair, and that is in the form of split ends and dryness.
7. Finally, get a trim every 6 to 8 weeks. This will get rid of weak ends and keep you from ever getting split ends. Not to mention it’ll get rid of the ones you might already have.
