|
 | Swimming is one of the joys of summer. Before you hop in, rinse your hair so fresh water is absorbed before chlorine or salt water.
|
| Olive oil helps not only repair split ends and heal dandruff - it makes your hair shiny, silky, and lustrous! Just massage a few tablespoons into your scalp and hair, cover with a plastic cap, and leave it in for 30 minutes or more. Then you can shampoo as usual.
|
| Did you know that flax seed gel can be used set your hair? Just mix 3/4 cup water with 1 tablespoon flax seed, comb it through and set on pins or rollers. Your style will have staying power.
|
| Think nothing can make your frizz go straight? Think again! The Infiniti Nano Silver by ConairTM Steam Straightener uses hot new technology and deep conditioning steam to turn frizz straight, silky and shiny...fast!
|
| For healthy hair be sure to take a vitamin B complex every day and
increase your intake of protein as found in meat, fish, liver, wheat
germ, dried cooked beans and peas, tofu, cheese, milk and eggs.
|
| Looking for the right brush? For short hair a brush with soft bristles works best. For medium and long hair use a paddle brush for straight looks or a round brush to add curves and volume.
|
| When styling curly hair, coat wet hair with product to block humidity and
define the curl pattern. Once it’s dry, do not touch.
|
| Holiday time is party time. Be prepared; pack a little bag with sample-size hair necessities, like spray, gel, and pomade. Tuck in a few clips, a little comb and a mirror, and you’ll always be ready to party!
|
| While a hot shower feels good during the cold-weather season, save your scalp by using lukewarm water to wash your hair - hot water strips away natural oils of the scalp that protect the skin from winter dryness.
|
| Dandruff shampoos are hard on hair. Once you’ve gotten rid of the dandruff, try treating hair from the middle down to the ends with a conditioner at least twice a week, until you get your luster back!
|
| The best quality and least damaging curlers and straighteners are those that spend less time styling your hair. Do your hair a favor and invest in one today!
|
| To reduce frizz and protect hair from chlorine, shampoo and apply a leave-in conditioner before going to the beach or pool. After your swim, be sure to use a clarifying shampoo. A dryer that’s 1,600 watts or higher gives the fastest results. Use the nozzle attachment to direct and condense airflow or if your hair is curly, use a diffuser.
|
| The sun and surf are great for your spirit, not so great for your hair. Sprays and styling gels with protective oils and UV filters are a must before you hit the beach.
|
| Never blow-dry sopping wet hair - it can't take the heat. After rinsing, squeeze hair gently with a towel - don't rub.
|
| Summertime brings frizzies. To keep them at bay, deep condition once a week and let washed hair air-dry. Blow-drying causes more frizz.
|
| To remove hairspray residue from your curling iron, pour a few drops of rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad or make a paste of three parts baking soda to one part water. Rub over the cool surface of an unplugged iron, then wipe clean with a water-dampened cloth. Be sure to do this while the iron is unplugged!
|
| The summer sun can wreak havoc on your color-treated hair, fading your color or making it brassy. Before you go outside, spritz on a leave-in conditioner with sunscreen to protect your hue!
