Quick and Refreshing Fixes for Your Hair

Once in a while you will have a perfect day as far as your hair is concerned. Your hair looked great all through that day and you have to get a shower in the evening. You know for certain that your hair will not look any thing like before once you have your shower. Still you get that shower, even after having a shower the previous evening or the same day morning.

You need not shampoo your hair repeatedly to get great results. There is nothing wrong in not shampooing once in a while. As you wash your hair more and apply hair products, the volume of stuff getting on to your silky flocks increases drastically.

Skip your regular hair washing by covering your hair in a towel or piling your hair on to a shower cap before you take your shower. In order to keep your hair not smelly or not looking or feeling bad when you skip this shampooing, you can follow these steps and you will have gorgeous hair.

Freshen Up

You can find a perfume for your hair the same way you have a perfume and body spray. Many good brands have great fragrances for your silky hair. Herbal Essences Style Refreshing Mist from Clairol is a good example. This spray comes in a discrete spray bottle and is sure to make you feel good about your hair with its tantalizing floral perfumes.

You may wash your hair every time you take a shower. You can use shampoo and conditioner as well. Skip the blow drying part, especially during the summer months. Put your hair up by twisting and set it in place with the help of some bobby pins or hair pins. You may opt for a classic braid or try some sexy style with help of claw clips.

De-Frizz and Smooth Out

When you are running late for a party or a date, after a long day at work, and you may find yourself without enough time to have a shower and dress up. In this situation, you can use the help of styling products or some anti-frizz gel to keep your hair in place.

If going to a party or date without taking a shower is out of the question, then you can go for a really fast shower and get going. Use a leave in conditioner or an anti-frizz hair gel on to your hair and get your hair dried as per the instructions of the product. In case you have enough time to let your hair dry the natural way, do it that way.

Preserve

Even if you do not have enough time to take regular care of your hair and make up, you could still take an occasional glance at yourself and see if the hair is behaving as you were expecting it to be or if your make up is leaking. Now do not do this in the middle of the party by having a mirror in hand or during the date. Avoid looking at your reflection on any tinted cars near by.

You can always take a break to the ladies room and take a look and do some emergency patch works on your make up or hair do with help of water or any styling/make up products available on you.

Are You Starving Your Hair? Tips For Balanced Tresses

Did you know the human body requires fat in order to be able to properly process and absorb vitamins and nutrients? Yes, it’s true.

Whether you get your vitamins from supplements or eat carefully to get nutrients from your daily food supply, if you live on only fat free or very low fat meals, your hair will definitely start to suffer.

The lack of fat can also have a negative impact on skin and nails.

Eat Healthy Fat For Lush Hair

Hair utilizes fat stored in the body to thicken and develop luster or shine. Does this mean you should go out and do fat laden meals to get a blinding shine for your tresses?

No, the key according to nutritional experts is to eat a well balanced meal with some healthy fats. Healthy fats which are also known as unsaturated fats include avocadoes, black and green olives and nut butters such as almond, cashew, peanut butter, sesame and sunflower seed.

Other great shine and hair healthy foods include macadamias, hazelnuts, pecan, almond, cashews, pistachios, brazil nuts, peanuts, pine nuts and walnuts. Seeds are also great for thick lush tresses, especially sesame, pumpkin, ground flaxseed and sunflower seeds.

Nutritional experts say the best foods of the unsaturated fat family are albacore tuna, salmon and extra virgin olive oil.

Fats which won’t help grow lush healthy tresses include saturated and trans fats.

Saturated fats include those found in meat and other animal products. Trans fats are found in foods with labels such as “hydrogenated” or partially hydrogenated”.

Lean Protein Helps Hair Grow

Nutritionists and trichologists preach the hair growing gospel of lean protein. Since human hair is almost 100% protein, it needs a constant supply every day to keep it growing.

When protein isn’t provided in adequate supply, hair growth will stall and possibly falter. In fact, without the proper supply of protein, hair may start to thin and may even start to shed.

Protein can alo be found in some of our favorite shampoo’s conditioners and hair masques. We recommend:
