Damaged Hair Care To Overcome

Damaged hair can become an obstacle to perform optimally. Because the hair looks dull and looks broken. How do I fix this?

Damaged hair due to the hair cuticle so the hair piece does not become brittle. This causes the hair to be forked and broken.

Damage to the hair can be caused by excessive chemical processes, hair are always contaminated with heater, like a blow dryer and vise. Can also too many chemicals used for hair, such as hairspray.

The best action to overcome the already damaged hair is to cut off the damaged hair. Avoid damage to your hair with hair coloring, or always in contact with the heater hair. Mode only exacerbate hair kedaan.

Diligent treatment hair mask, better yet if you're wearing a homemade mask by mixing avocado and coconut oil. Apply on the hair and let stand for 30 minutes. Hair masks will protect the hair follicle, softens and provides extra moisture to the hair.

Fast Drying Hair

Hair Drying usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. In an emergency, surely you do not have that much time. Here's a simple but effective way to dry your hair quickly.

First, blow-dry your hair gently using a towel. Do this until half-dry your hair.

After a half-dried hair, then let your hair dry by itself. Perform other activities such as dressing, grooming or eating breakfast.

Hair dry naturally is actually better than using a hair dryer. However, dry your hair with natural hair will be difficult to form desired.

Therefore, after you've done other things like apply makeup, go back to dry your hair. This time use a hair dryer to blow hair. In this way, then you only takes about five minutes to dry the hair.

Hair Color Disasters

What do you do when your hair color ends up a disaster? Can it be fixed at home?
Should I save a few dollars by dying my hair at home by myself?
If you have a hair color disaster, it is from one of two possible scenarios:
You went to a professional stylist or colorist and came out with a hair color disaster.
You were suckered in by advertising and took the risk of coloring your hair by yourself, in your own home.

A common mistake people make is thinking that hair color is foolproof and will turn out like the picture on the box. NO NO NO! Do not believe this!
Hair color is not like paint that can just be removed with paint remover. Nor can it always be painted over.... Like a white wall, sometimes you cannot paint over the mistake with corrective white paint. First, you have to remove the wrong color, which can take a few sessions.
If you want to fix your hair color disaster, prompt action is necessary! Most experts believe you have a 48-72 hour window before the color has a chance to lock into the cuticle. Contact a professional colorist immediately.
Try not to panic and rush to find a solution that might cause even more harm. Many people try to fix their color problems themselves at home and often makes the problem a lot worse and can potentially damage your hair beyond repair.
Avoid the temptation to add more color or try to remove the color at home with bleach or other harsh chemicals.
Hair color is a reflection of light off the colored pigment of the hair shaft. Different colors add or subtract from the hair color giving it various hues and shades.
Hair dye is not like paint. It doesn't just "paint" the color onto the hair. Permanent hair color permanently changes the color pigment in the hair shaft - it does not wash out although certain colors may fade over time.
If you end up with a horrible hair color, it cannot wash out or be reversed. It can, however, be correctively colored back to a color similar to the original color. This should be left to the professionals only and can take a couple of visits!
IMPORTANT - Always do a strand test on a few strands of uncolored hair to get an idea of the color you are ultimately going to obtain. You can do a little bit of mathematical juggling by adding more or less of a particular color to get the desired color. For drastic changes in hair color do get professional help.
Apply the hair color on small, thin sections of hair, bit by bit, 1/2 to 1/4 of an inch in width. This may be awkward to do alone, so get a friend to help.
The ends of long hair are usually more porous than the rest, so apply the color to the middle section of your hair first, about one inch from the scalp down to about two inches from the ends. We do this because the body heat from the scalp causes bleach and hair dyes to develop quicker.
Some temporary fixes for your hair color disaster:
Colored shampoos which can sometimes help soften the bad coloring.
Cut your hair short to minimise the effect of the bad color.
Try to accelerate color fading - hot water is known to fade chemically colored hair, some volume shampoos and gels may help fade color (they are designed to open the hair cuticle which speeds up color loss)
Try using a shampoo mix of 2 oz. of 20 volume peroxide, 1 oz. shampoo and 1 oz. warm water. Stir well and apply starting where your hair color is the darkest. Speed things up by wrapping your head in plastic wrap and sit under a hair dryer. Check the color every 5 minutes til satisfied then shampoo and condition hair as per usual.

HAIR STYLE GUIDE ACCESSORIES

When you want to add an extra touch of glamour to a sexy evening dress, or a funky twist to an everyday outfit, try some hair accessories.
Hair accessories include: hair combs, hair clips, jaw clips, hairpiece, hair pins, French pins, hair barrettes, hair sticks, hair magnets, hair snaps, etc. They come in different interesting shapes, like alligator, flower, star, heart, butterfly and so on and decorated with crystals, beads, feathers, and bead in several varieties and combinations.

A headband works with all hair types. The headband is making a fashion comeback in a big way, in all colors, prints, shapes and sizes. The classic way to wear a headband is either with your hair down and tied up in a messy bun. Sweep the band from your forehead to your crown, leaving some of your bangs out. For a preppy look, try a bright plaid band; for a sexier look, wear a thin beaded band.


Scarves worn around the head like a headband, is a look anyone can pull off. It adds color and excitement to any outfit and is a great way to keep hair off your neck or face in the warmer months. Animal prints are hot this year, so why not spice up an outfit with a print scarf!

Make sure the piece is not too big for your hair.
If your hair is short, slide a couple of small diamante pins behind one ear for a subtle yet stylish look.
If your hair is long and fine, pull the top half into a mini-ponytail and tie with a bauble elastic.
If your hair is long and thick, wear it out with a medium-sized flower pinned just behind your ear, or in a bun with a larger flower secured to one side.

Create a catwalk look easily with the half-up, half-down hair do that was a hit at this season's shows. Take a small section of hair from just above each ear and secure at the back of the head with a vintage-style clip.

Barrettes or hair clips are a great way to create a simple, sleek look especially good for really short hair. With the recent explosion of hair accessories, you can find them in any shape or style. Also very popular for holding tiny dreadlocks into place to form a line of hair twists at the top of the crown.

Hair pins or bobby pins are wonderful accent pieces that nestle well into a sleek and sexy version of the French twist. Pins aren't just for grandmothers anymore! They are easy to wear and will turn your simple hairdo into a fun and flirty look. Try wearing three in a row with a side part.
