We get a lot of tips and tricks from television and magazines about what products to use for our hair, but do we ever think if the product we’re using is right for our hair? If you want beautiful, healthy hair you also have to be hair conscious. That means knowing your hair inside and out. Here are some questions you should ask yourself in order to get to know your hair better. Is it thick? Is it thin? Whispy? Straight? Curly? Damaged? And you can keep going with a million questions. The important thing you need to know is what products to use for your hair and when. Use lighter p...

First, let’s define what’s premature. Those strands of grey that started appearing in your 20s and 30s? They’re not premature. That’s a fairly normal preview of things to come later in life. Many people start to see a few stray greys long before they hit the big 4-0. It’s when more than half your hair is grey before 40 that you can claim premature grey (American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, age 29, is the premature poster boy). Genetics are to blame here, and it’s all predetermined by DNA, so no, there’s no way to stop that process. It doesn’...

Getting the perfect haircut can be hard to do, especially if you don’t know what will suit your face shape. Well here’s a little guideline as to what you can expect with each haircut! Long or Oval Faces If your face is long or val, try an angular bob that’s closely cropped to the nape of the neck and traces the jaw line in the front.Women with oval faces should avoid pixies that add layers to the top of the hair, as the excess volume will only elongate the face further.To style, apply a light hold gel to towel dried hair and blow dry using a round brush so hair falls n...

When your hair is supposed to be curly but it comes out frizzy it not only looks unkempt, it can make you look older! Humidity is often the cause of the frizzies; since there’s not much you can do about the weather, use products that contain silicone and try to make the best of it. Still frizzy even when it’s not damp outside? You might be handling your hair too much. After you wash your hair, gently squeeze out excess moisture with a towel — never rub! When you blow-dry, use a round natural-bristle brush (after your hair is partially dried), and be sure to dry your hair c...

Everyone puts their hair up once in a while, and while we don’t think much of it, ponytails can actually harm your hair. Here’s why! Unfortunately, those cute pigtails and pink-flowered hair pins we wore as little girls aren’t all that friendly if you wear them as an adult, especially if you’ve already got thin or fragile locks. Not only do we lose hair as we age, we weaken it with daily blow drying and other forms of torture (perms, highlights, curling irons, etc…). You really want to avoid barrettes whenever possible, because they tend to catch hair and break...

So you washed your hair and blow dried it last night, but when you woke up this morning your hair was as flat as it ever was! How come? The answer is gravity along with not rinsing properly and using the wrong shampoo. First, figure out if you have oily hair, normal hair (combo) or dry hair. If it’s oily, which is probably the case, it’s a challenge to keep the just-from-the-shower bounce overnight. Your scalp is already at work producing its natural moisturizer, which can make hair look flat by morning. Find a mild volumizing shampoo geared for your hair type. Wash your ...
