TREATING YOUR HAIR RIGHT  by

 Andrew Stratton 		4/5/2008 at 12:59
Fashion industry have a greater influence to most people on what color, styles and length a person’s hair could be. You see that these days, being bald is no longer something you could hide forever. The truth is that bald is one of the stylistic trend these days. Women on the other hand opt to wear hair extensions on some occasions, have their hairs colored/dyed and wear wigs on special events. You can never tell which is real because of so many options available for both sexes.

However, with the growing obsession to hair dyeing, many people lost their good and vibrant hair in the long run. Some of the common problems related to extreme hair coloring are the drying of hair and of course, losing of its natural elements. Researches found out that a dry hair lacks the essential natural content and the moist the hair should possess to maintain its health and smoothness.

Other damage of extreme hair coloring is that it weakens the hairs’ attachment to an individual’s scalp. For this reason, the around 150,000 individual strands of hair lose their good grip on the person’s scalp, lose the shimmer and strength.

But that’s not all. There are also physical factors why a person’s hair weakens in the long run. Understandably, there are people who are originally having weak hair strands. Further, with the adoption of fashion and application of aggressive hair chemicals eventually could lead to hair breakage and the worse is hair lost permanently.

What are the other factors ...

TRAVEL HAIR DRYERS  by

 Robert Diarioti 		4/5/2008 at 12:58
No woman should leave her house on a trip abroad or locally without a great hair dryer in her bag. The urge to bring along that large hair dryer maybe strong, but it always proves to be just a little too bulky for travel use other than your home dresser at home or in a salon. The solution: a compact and fully functional travel blow dryer that will help you with all your styling needs no matter where you end up - as long as there is electricity of course.

Buying the perfect travel hair dryer is just as important as buying your regular hair drying tool. You have to make sure that it will offer the same comforts only at a smaller size. There is no need to skimp on your hair dryer! Forget the logic that because you will only be using it for a couple days tops, it has to be a regular one. Remember that even a few days of using an inferior product can damage your hair beyond repair. Below are some categories that you need to consider when buying a travel dryer.

Size and Storage The main reason for buying a travel hair dryer is that you can have a hair drying tool that will fit into your suitcase without the hassle. So, if your regular hair dryer is not compact and small enough to fit into a small bag or slide easily in the corner or your luggage, then you have to ditch it for ...

GOOD NUTRITION REQUIRED FOR GROWING HEALTHY HAIR  by

 Karen G Anderson 		4/5/2008 at 12:57
Balance is the key
A balanced diet will encourage a healthy head of beautiful hair and aid faster hair growth. Fad dieting can deprive your hair of the nutrition it needs to shine. Don’t totally eliminate carbohydrates and fat from your diet, no matter how calorie conscious you are. Complex carbohydrates are best, e.g. whole grain bread and cereals and brown rice, these are important for overall health and wellbeing.

Protein is the building block for your hair and every other part of your body. Without sufficient protein the body cannot efficiently produce new hair to replace the hair that naturally sheds. Protein is found in; meat, poultry, eggs, fish, milk, cheese, yoghurt, and soy products. These all contain complete proteins that contain all the nine essential amino acids necessary for optimal health. Other sources of protein, such as pulses, seeds, nuts and grain products do not contain the complete form.

Eat green and yellow vegetable and fruit to get the required amount of beta-carotene.

Good hydration
Drink plenty of water. Proper hydration of the body is essential. Water helps to transport the vitamins and minerals throughout the body. Don’t wait until you are thirsty, your body needs about eight glasses of water or 64 ounces a day.

Avoid junk food
Forget sugary, fatty food and avoid caffeine and carbonated drinks. If something is missing from your diet, it will be reflected in the condition of your hair.

The good oils
The use of, cold-pressed nut and seed oils, such as flax seed oil, daily on salads and in ...

HAIR - MAINTAINING YOUR SHADE  by

 Robin Brain 		4/5/2008 at 12:57
Once You’ve Colored Your Hair, you must treat it gently if you want to maintain that gorgeous shade you (or your stylist) worked so hard to create. Fortunately, color care isn’t difficult.

Preventing color from fading

Always be aware of water temperature when you wash color-treated hair. Hot water is a no-no when it comes to color-treated hair because it causes the cuticle to swell allowing pigment molecules to escape. This leads to dull, faded color. Opt for lukewarm water.

You should also avoid strong sunlight. Think back to your childhood. Do you remember how brassy - or blonde - your hair used to get in the summer? You can blame that on the sun, which has a color-bleaching effect. The sun’s ultraviolet rays are especially hard on chemically colored locks, turning treated strands brassy and causing color to fade.

Products for color-treated hair

There are products specifically designed for chemically treated hair and using these is a good way to coddle colored strands. Color-formula shampoos are less detergent-laden and more moisturizing than normal hair shampoos, while color-formula conditioners often contain more concentrated doses of emollients and may even include ingredients such as UV screens to protect against the color-fading effects of the sun.

Like color-formula products, color-enhancing shampoos and conditioners are gentle on color-treated strands. What makes them different, however, is that they contain small amounts of pigment to keep hair color looking just-from-the-salon fresh.

Color-enhancing shampoos and conditioners are available in a large range of shades. Rotate color-enhancing products with color­formula products.

Regular deep-conditioning treatments will ...

HOW TO HAVE HEALTHY, BEAUTIFUL SKIN AND HAIR  by

 Michelle Moseley 		4/5/2008 at 12:56
Healthy, Beautiful Skin and Hair, who doesn’t want that? Do you have it? Great, you must take the time to have it be so. It takes a diligent regimen to have and keep both in optimal condition. There is a lot of stressful stuff that can and usually over time can wreak havoc on them.

My first recommendation would be, before you decide if this is something you should do, take my complete cleansing guide, go to your doctor and make sure you have his/her approval before doing anything suggested there.

To start, you need a clean slate. By that I mean that you need to do a complete internal cleanse. I have a complete outline as to what this entails and I would be happy to send you a free copy. Use the contact form at the bottom of this article.

Do you have any skin problems? Have you been treating it? Have you possibly even seen a dermatologist? Is anything helping? Have you experienced dry skin, oily skin, exema, psoriasis, or any number of other skin ailments? Have you been treating them with little or no success?

The problem might possibly be something going on inside of you. If this is the case, anything you put on the skin will only mask the symptoms for a while. It does not get to the root of the issue. Something is going on inside of you and it probably has something to do with a large amount of toxic buildup in your intestines. You ...
