De-freeze

Posted by sayuri under Information


Straight hair is in for most corporate women. Its is easy to manage and most definitely easy to control. Gone are the days when women are used to staying for hours and hours in front of the mirror just to be able to get the perfect perm. Now, the easier it is to get ready, the better. Women nowadays require instant fixes. This is a damn shame too because the novelty on the hair is gone. Women are so used to having it plain and simple that its almost too easy to see them as simply a dull girl among the boys. To stand out, add flair to your hair by putting on a bow or a pin. Don’t just let it hand limp or tied stiffly in a bun. We should not have to give away our inner goddess just to be able to make ends meet in a world ruled by male machos.

Water please!

Posted by Timmy under Keeping it healthy

water.jpgDid you know that drinking enough glasses of water not only ensures that you’re preventing dehydration? When you drink water, you actually hydrate your skin and hair. And of course, a hydrated body translates to healthier cells. That’s one of the best kept secrets to healthy hair, so don’t forget to drink those glasses of water.

Of course, you can take a step further and keep your hair moisturized by using intensive conditioner once a week to keep your hair soft and your locks alive. You don’t even have to go to the salon just to get an intensive deep treatment. Just slather on some conditioner, cover your hair up with plastic wrap, and go read a magazine for about ten minutes. You can even throw in a hot towel in the equation to get even better results.

Sweet dreams sleepy head

Posted by Timmy under Keeping it healthy

Sleeping for lovely locks? You got that. Why? Well, because the body makes use of our sleep to repair the damages in our body. And when we say damages, that includes helping heal any wounds you’ve incurred on your scalp, strengthening brittle strands, and basically, making your hair nice and healthy.

Hats and hair loss

Hats, caps and other head gears are associated with hair loss. Yes, they may be linked together but it does not mean that one causes the other. The natural flow or form of your hair may be affected but that is just about it. Even head bands can cause this. 

The only way these head accessories can be related to damage on your scalp is when you don’t clean your scalp after wearing them. They help in the accumulation of dirt in your scalp because wearing them causes your scalp to perspire more and become sticky and oily. This may hinder the natural growth of your hair. So after wearing them, make sure you clean your scalp thoroughly.

Hats and caps are associated with baldness because people who tend to wear them more often have actual problems of hair loss and they use these accessories to cover or hide their hair loss.

Got Dandruffs?

Dandruff can be embarrassing especially when you are on a public function, on a date, or even when in school or at work. But you need not worry. As annoying as they can be, dandruff are not unmanageable.

 Choosing the appropriate anti-dandruff shampoo is the first step. A good anti-dandruff shampoo contains an anti-fungal drug such as ketoconazole or salicylic acid. For optimum results, wash your scalp to remove the oil. The oil may prevent the active ingredients from penetrating your scalp and the fungi causing the dandruff may not be reached. You may apply the shampoo twice in one session. First is for oil removal, the second is for treatment. Avoid scratching you scalp if you have dandruff; it might just cause wounds.

Emmie, a good friend of mine asked for my advice. She wants to give her hair a new color and she plans to go to the salon tomorrow. She has a warm tone hair. What are good and bad hair highlight colors for her?

Golden blonde, golden brown, deep chocolate, auburn, red and orange are the best hair highlight choices for people with warm tones.
Blue, violet and white colors are a big no-no for people with warm hair colors. Why? Applying these colors can wash down the original color.

It is very evident that the red hair highlight is very popular nowadays. Having a Ginger Spice hair can give positive changes in once life since it gives a personal depth and gives added appeal to natural hair.

Nioxin Intensive Hair Care Therapy

Posted by Timmy under Information

Most hair care products come as part of a system or a group of products that are designed to work each other but as we know it, following or using a specific hair care system on its own seldom solves all of your hair care issues. From shampoo, conditioner to leave-on conditioners you can apply throughout the day, they are all over the place but do they really work. People tend to lose a lot of hair every day as part of the never-ending hair growth cycle, yet excessive hair fallout can be quite embarrassing and outright be a sign of pending baldness. Using some hair care products loaded with vitamins and minerals that you apply onto your scalp like , Nioxin’s hair care therapy, you may be able to entice hair growth that is healthier. But like all other health care products and supplements, not all products would work for you or even work as described in the packaging so best consult a hair care specialist to find out what would work best for you.

Greening Hair Bleach

Posted by Timmy under Information

Japanese Scientists are developing what is being called as the very first green hair bleaching product that is set to revolutionize the way people get their blond hair. Hair bleaching damages hair due to the inherent ability of hydrogen peroxide to eat away hair if it is left on too long. It is also quite irritating to the skin and scalp, preventing people with hyper-sensitive hair from using such products. The product is based from an enzyme produced by of all things, a fungus that is more commonly known as “white rot”, that produces enzymes that can also be used for environmental cleanup of soil, contaminated with waste. The enzyme eats away the melanin, the natural pigment that gives hair and the skin color. The revolutionary hair bleach not only eats away melanin, it has no side effect but a beneficial effect, fighting free-radicals or chemicals that hastens the death of cells and is being blamed for most of the signs of age in people and other living organisms.
