A Sweet New Look for 2012 Women Short Hairstyle

One very popular hairstyle these days is the fresh look of a female pop short hairstyle. It goes beyond compare of women’s personality in fashion, signifying uniqueness and individuality. Women who are bored with wearing long hair are considering visiting their hairdressers for that short and very trendy short look.
A major feature of these short hairstyles is that women look younger and sweet looking. Aside from the very appealing look to a great deal of women, the short hairstyle is versatile. Perfect for casual occasions and looking absolutely sophisticated in formal settings. Short hair works perfectly for whatever occasion. Maintenance of short hairstyle is very easy compared to long hair requiring a very time consuming process. With short hairstyle, you’ve cut time more than half of it.
One of the most popular short hairstyle is the bob cut and pixie cut. It has been around for a long time and is considered a classic. Variations have been made since its creation, capable of enhancing the chic and elegant charm of women.  Many celebrities are sporting short hairstyles and have gained positive reactions from fashion experts as well as fans. The right facial texture and cheekbones can compliment women’s appearance minus the boyish look.
Short hairstyles are easy to keep up and style, but what can even make your short tresses stylish are bangs. It’s a great way to lighten up and compliment short hair. They soften a large forehead and make it look more edgy. An example is a layered short hair with bangs that outlines the face. Short hairstyles works well with any type of hair, whether thick or thin, straight or curly, all it takes is a proper cut. If hair texture is thin, a short hairstyle will make it look fuller. To achieve a younger looking appearance, a short hairstyle helps to look more youthful. Look stylish, chic and wrinkle free with short hairstyles. Try on little accessories like small bows and pretty clips and let your personality shine through.
And I would recommend to use SPICE NEO Serum Milk Gloss.
It works best on pre-dried to dry hair at any length. Apply from roots through tips when creating volume, or mid-shaft through ends to achieve more polished looks. Also, if you want more shine, SPICE NEO Gloss  works well as well. Try both of them and your hair looks way better!

Easy Hairstyles That Take 10 Minutes

When you score a last-minute date, you don’t have to resort to just throwing your hair into a pony. Here are some seriously hot styles that’ll make him think you somehow spent hours primping for him, when really you spent most of the day watching a Real Housewives marathon before throwing your look together

Sultry Curls

Beachy curls like Dianna Agron's wow anywhere. For this look, you'll need Caretrico`s professional shampoo, hairspray, Spice`s shower Wax and a one-inch curling iron. First, divide your hair into about eight sections. "Wrap each one around the iron, holding it there for five seconds,"  Unwind, then hairspray each section for hold. Once you've curled your entire head, run your fingers through your curls to separate them. Lastly, massage the dry shampoo into your roots and scalp to amp up the volume.

Ten Ways to Have Beautiful and Healthy Hair

1. Keep your hair clean, this is very important for beautiful hair. If your hair is not washed properly or you go for more than a day or two between washings your hair may get greasy and dirty and will not look healthy. Proper care begins with clean hair.
 
2. Eating as balanced diet is very important for your hair to look and be healthy. If you aren't getting the vitamins you need you hair isn't getting the vitamins it needs and may lead to hair loss or other problems.

3. Have your hair trimmed every three months. This will help cut down on split ends and uneven hair.

4. Be aware that coloring your hair may dry it out. The use of blow dryers, curling irons, and straight irons may also damage your hair. Let your hair air dry when you can. If you want highlights, the best and mildest way is to wash your hair, then apply lemon juice to your wet hair and go outside in the sun and let it air dry. Do this a few times for the desired effect you want.

6. If you use alot of styling gels, hairsprays ect, you need to make sure you get all of those products out of your hair. You could use a clarifying shampoo once a week or you could just add a tsp. of baking soda to your regular shampoo mix it in a small cup and use it that day. This will make your hair shinier also.

7. Do not vigorously rub your hair dry, this may damage it. Instead blot your hair with the towel and let air dry. If you have very long hair don't try to comb your hair while it's soaking wet, it's better to let it get at least half way dry so you don't cause split ends when combing it.

8. Put on a deep conditioning treatment once a week. This will keep your hair looking shiny, healthy and full of body.

9. Brush your hair before you go to bed. Especially if you have shoulder length hair or longer. The brushing will promote circulation. The best way to do this is to bend over with your head down and brush from the back to the front, this will also get rid of dirt particles, pollen and anything that might be in your hair. Brush at least sixty strokes or more.

10. Use detangler on your wet hair after shampooing  and a wide tooth comb instead of a brush. Brushing wet hair can cause breakage and damage your hair.

Use Arimino hair products from Japan, its just BEST!

Best Hair Care Products for Split Ends

In the beauty world," Split Ends" is a four-letter word (even though it's obviously not). And like a hangnail or a zit, it's kinda hard to resist examining and picking at those split hair follicles, no?

Here are some tips for repairing and preventing split ends:

1. Brush through your hair before showering. This will minimize tangles and prevent breakage (which can lead to split ends) that can occur when you brush hair post-shower. Apply  Caretrico Japanese shampoo towards the crown of your head, and lather it gently downward keeping hair straight (without bunching it up) by making zigzag motion with your fingers down the length of your hair.

2. Use plenty of Caretrico Japanese conditioner while showering and use a leave-in after, if need be.
Not only will your hair feel super smooth to the touch, but the lubrication will also help prevent breakage, which can also yield split ends.

3. Try not to brush your hair while it's wet. Yes, this is a hard thing to avoid, but if you did the aforementioned two steps, and don't scrunch your hair up in a towel, you should be able to easily comb through it.

4. Lay off the heat styling tools. Anything that uses heat to treat your hair (blow dryers, straighteners, curling irons, etc.) is damaging. Try experimenting with different hairstyles that don't call for a sleek look. Style it with a little mouse to add texture and maybe even -- gasp -- let it air dry.

5. When getting your hair trimmed, cut about one-and-a-half inches above your split ends. Split ends will continue to split if left unattended, so this will help to prevent that.

6. Use Caretrico treatment to prevent splitting. Our readers have done the work here for you and rave about these hair care products that remedy split ends. Not all of these hair care products are created equal -- in other words, Spice/Caretrico/Peace products are the best in the world!

Best Special Occasion Hair Styles for Curly Hair

Whether you have tight corkscrew curls or soft, loose curls, there are several glam styles for curly hair. Before you try these different hairstyles, the most important thing you can do to go to your favorite stylist and have them shape your curly hair to best suit the shape of your face. Curly hair styles can flatter and enhance your natural face angles if cut properly, otherwise you run the risk of being a mop head or the dreaded mushroom head.

Medium to long layers styles for curly hair are the best way to balance the volume and body of your curls that frame your face. Using hair styling wax for girls, such as Spice NEO Natural Cream will help tame the frizzies and provide a glossy shine to your natural curls. This texture wax is the perfect option to consider when you are thinking of leaving your curls down. Create a deep side part and either use a sparkly headband or clip to keep your curls back from your face.

When pulling your curls back in a ponytail or a half-up, half-down look, keep it sleek by using a gel or a mousse to define your curls and keep them separate. For more bohemian styles for curly hair, use a hair diffuser to relax the curls close to your scalp and leave the curls only past your ears or the nape of your neck. This slightly more relaxed beachy curly hairstyle is perfect for an evening out.

For more fun and flirty styles for curly hair, put in small braids or twists at the front of your hair and pin them to the back of your head. Pull loose tendrils out on either side of your face to soften the look and the curls will help frame your face. The best hair styles for curly hair work with your natural curl, giving your face a vibrant and lively look.

What is Leave-In Conditioner?

Leave-in  is a hair care product that is applied after a person showers, and which is left in the hair until the next washing. Many regular hair conditioners are fairly dense or contain oils, and may be difficult to wash out of the hair to get that squeaky clean feel. Leave-in tends to rely not on oils, which could make the hair look a bit greasy, but instead use products like glycerine, which can help calm tangled hair or impart a little moisture to dry hair.

Uses

There are numerous leave-in conditioners on the market, and judging how effectively they work can be difficult; perhaps knowing why a person's hair may benefit from using a leave-in conditioner will help determine its effectiveness. Hair stylists often say that moisturizing the hair is just as important as moisturizing the skin and leave-in conditioner is a great moisturizer. If you are looking to get rid of tangled hair, I recommend to use  Peace hair products from Japan. Its just amazing products, ever!
.
Some other hair products have leave-in conditioner built in. People who use hair gel, mousse, styling cream,  or wax might find that the light oils or glycerin in these products will add extra moisture to the hair and may protect it slightly from exposure to the sun, or from damage caused by styling.

Spice Neo-- design wax for Boys

The great thing about hair styling wax is that you have almost limitless styling uses. Although most waxes don’t leave you hair stiff like gel does, there are some that leave your hair stiffer than others. Hair wax also adds a different luster from most any other kind of hair product on the market.
Hair wax is a great way to style your hair without making it overly stiff the way most gels do. Why don’t you want your spiked hair too stiff? There is nothing worse than spending the evening getting your date into a romantic mood, then poking her in the eye with the points of the gel-enhanced mini samurai swords atop your head when you try to cuddle.

Although hair wax can add a lusty sheen, most guys don’t want the Severus Snape slicked-back look. If you glob excessive hair wax on, that is exactly what you will get. Hair wax usually looks best when you use barely enough to keep your hair positioned just the way you want it. Put a little wax on the tips of your fingers, or on an applicator stick, and run it through your hair to shape bangs, spikes waves and curls. In the case of hair wax, less is usually more. Unless you are planning to head outdoors during a category 5 hurricane, you only need a dab here and there, or lightly and evenly spread throughout your hair.

There are different types of hair wax. Some are dry for a matte-type look. You can find wax creams, volumizing, gels, waxes for fine hair, waxes for thick hair, waxes for stiff hair, and more. There are even spray waxes available. If you are looking for the best way to keep your hair looking good, check out the various hair wax options that are available, and choose the one just right for you and your styling needs.

How to Take Care of Combination Hair

There are many different types of hair. There are thick types and there are fine types of hair. There are curly ones and straight-falling ones. Some hair types are more prone to the accumulation of sebum (the natural oils that our skin secretes) than others, while some hair types are just naturally dry. There are various ways of taking care of hair according to its various types.

But what if your hair happens to be a combination type of hair? What if your hair is very oily near the scalp but has the tendency to be dry to the point of brittleness as the strands reach the ends? How do you take care of hair like that?

Fortunately, there are a number of ways to care for the combination type of hair. With the appropriate use of the right products, you can prevent damage to your hair, protect it, keep it healthy and even enhance its beauty. So how do you effectively care for the combination type of hair?

It all starts with the proper washing of the hair. In shampooing, never use hot water to wet your hair. Hair strands are susceptible to extreme heat and hot water will only damage it. Instead, just use lukewarm water.

Be choosy with the products that you use for your hair. If you have the combination type hair, avoid using shampoos formulated for oily hair. It might worsen the condition of the dry tips of your locks. Instead, opt for shampoos specially made for normal hair.

Do not use too much shampoo to wash your hair. Just a dollop the size of a quarter will do. Apply the shampoo directly on the scalp and just let the suds flow to the ends of your hair. Never apply the shampoo directly to the tips because the shampoo will wash off the oil that your hair tips need so much. If you must, just scoop some suds from the top of your head and use it to wash your hair�s tips. Never overclean your hair�s ends and be careful in handling them. Rinse the shampoo off carefully and thoroughly until it is not slippery any longer.

After shampooing the hair, apply  conditioner. Just as you should never apply shampoo directly to the tips of your hair, you should never apply conditioner directly to your scalp either. The moisturizing agents in the conditioner will cause the scalp to produce too much oil. Instead, concentrate the application of the conditioner to the tips of your hair strands, and then rinse your hair thoroughly, this time with cold water to lock in the moisture and to discourage your hair from secreting too much oil.

For added TLC for your combination type hair, indulge in deep conditioning treatment once a week. Apply moisturizing conditioner to the dry parts of your hair, wrap it with a towel and let it be for a couple of hours before washing it off completely. You can substitute olive oil for commercial conditioner if you wish. Also, make it a habit to have your hair trimmed once every two months to get rid of your hair�s brittle ends.

The combination type of hair need not be a hair care nightmare. All it needs to keep healthy and beautiful is the know-how for its proper care.

Quick Fixes for Luscious Locks

Problem
A lack of volume is often down to hair's texture rather than its density. Too fine and too limp, it gets greasy quickly and is lacking in vitality.

Plan of attack
 Cut it! The secret to obtaining volume is layering. It's ideal for long hair that doesn't have shape or fine hair that lacks tone. But avoid tapering which tends to deprive hair of its natural richness.

 Volume requires effort... from the moment your alarm clock goes off! As soon as you wake up, run your fingers through your hair, lifting hair up at the roots and shaping it as you want it. Hair is still warm from sleeping and is easy to shape. Leave it any later and it will be too late, those unruly tufts of hair will be sticking up in all the wrong places!

 Use specific haircare products like Arimino Hair Products that restructure hair by providing a healthy cocktail of vitamins, amino acids and keratin. Alternate between different types of gentle shampoo and avoid washing hair too often "which weighs hair down and greasy hair produces the opposite effect required for volume!"

 When styling your hair, lift hair up at the roots using a round brush and a hairdryer with a moderate heat setting so as not to irritate your scalp. To reinforce and fix the style in place, use a volumising hairstyling product.


Expert tip
The secret: "At the end of the day, give your hair a massage. Not only is it relaxing and gets rid of the day's stress, it stimulates the hair bulbs and blood circulation in the scalp. Hair is healthier and has more body."

Beautiful Long Hair


Long hair makes a woman feel feminine, beautiful, attractive and glamorous. Practically all women, at some time in their lives, want to grow their hair really long. And almost all men want their woman to have long hair. If you have long hair then it is true you have to take care for your hair and have to devote exclusive time for hair care. Having a healthy, shiny and beautiful hair takes a commitment to continuing care. Besides professional cutting or trimming every two months to promote natural bounce and remove split ends, giving long hair special attention at home each day will help make it the best it can possibly be. Even if you have neglected your hair in the past, it's never too late to get to the root of the problems associated with it, or to practice some preventive maintenance. Therefore learning a few tips for caring for your long hair is handy and helpful. Therefore we have brought for you tips to help you manage those long locks.

To achieve beautiful, shiny and long hair we recommend that you let these tips go straight to your head:

Washing
When washing your hair, you should treat it with the utmost care. Over enthusiastic rubbing, scrubbing and pulling can lead to quite a lot of damage and hair loss and therefore should be avoided. Hair should be rinsed very, very thoroughly and with care. Never bunch your hair up when you wash it. Keep it straight down as you wash from the scalp to the tips, running your fingers lightly through your hair to keep it from tangling and to fully wash it. Use a caretrico shampoo and try to have the last rinse with cold water. This shrinks the molecules of the hair and gets rid of superfluous coatings, making hair much more manageable. Use a caretrico conditioner to condition your hair. When you've finished the washing and conditioning process, mop up excess water with a towel wrapped around your head for a few minutes.

Shampooing
Choosing best shampoo is very important. I would recommend caretrico products from japan. First, remove surface dirt through gentle rinse. Rinse and lather again, massaging your head to increase the blood supply to the scalp and roots. Don't vigorously rub braids or weaves but do rinse in cascades of water to clean the hair thoroughly. Wash your hair more frequently if you have itching, flaking or dandruff. These conditions are not due to dryness. Thoroughly rinse out conditioner, or the residue will dirty your hair faster.

Combing
Never brush hair when it's wet. De-tangle as much of your hair as you can with your fingers. Finally, use a wide-spaced comb to smooth and untangle your hair gently. Begin to comb from the bottom, working slowly up the strands. Never start at the top and tug downwards as this can do a lot of damage to your hair.

Brushing
Bend forward allowing hair to fall. Use a large oval brush to bring hair from the nape of the neck over the head and down to the ends. Then, stand straight again with hair falling normally and brush from the underside of the hairline down the strands to the ends. Now, brush the top layers into place with long, even strokes. After each stroke, smooth hair with hands to reduce static. Increase the number of strokes daily until you find a comfortable routine. Never brush hair when wet.


Protection
Protect your hair from over-exposure to sun, salt, chemicals or chlorinated water, wind and pollution. Wear a hat, cap or scarf if you can. Seek out hair products with sunscreens

Caring for and styling dry hair

If your hair is dry, dull and breaks easily, it's often down to excess sebum, bad habits and lack of the right care. To help you rectify these problems, here’s how to care for and style dry hair.

What are the characteristics of dry hair?
The normal role of sebum is to hydrate the scalp. If you have dry hair, the sebum doesn't do its job properly, and this leads to itchiness and irritation.

The hair loses its elasticity, becomes dull, breaks and splits more easily because it's fragile.

What are the causes of dry hair?
dry hair has genetic origins, but it can just as well be caused by sun, wind, seawater and chlorine, as well as damage from hair curlers, straighteners, overbrushing, excessively hot drying, excessive dyeing, permanent color, strong detergent shampoo and the wrong products.

How do you take care of dry hair?
Use gentle nourishing shampoo specially designed for dry hair containing lots of nutrients.

As well as shampoo, use Caretrico`s conditioner and massage in with the tips of your fingers. For an additional toning effect, rinse your hair with cold water. Avoid hot water and hard water, which dries out your hair more.

Simple rituals to care for dry hair
- Massage with the tips of your fingers before rinsing
- Always rinse with cold water
- Towel dry your hair well to get rid of as much excess water as possible
- Dry your hair gently, with your hairdryer 15cm from your head and never blast the same section of hair for more than 15 seconds
- Rinse your hair with fresh water after going in the sea

Avoid
- Very hot water
- Blow-drying close to your roots
- Vigorous towel drying
- Hard water

Leave -in your hair for an hour, putting cling film and a hot towel over your hair. Do this once a week when your hair is particularly bad, and otherwise every 2 weeks.


Styling dry hair
To style your hair well without damaging it, be gentle, especially if your hair breaks easily. Leave-in conditioner helps keep your hair tangle-free and hydrates it.

Watch your diet
Our diet has an impact on the health of our hair. It’s important to nourish your locks by eating healthily!
Avoid saturated fat (from dried/cured meat, fast food and white bread) and eat lots of green veg and fresh fruit.
To take care of your hair, munch on almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts and cereals.
An occasional course of nutritional supplements (for 3 months) can also help nourish and protect your hair from the inside. See our article on beauty superfoods here.

Get Super-Soft Hair


Soft Hair Strategies

 

 



Touchable tresses are every woman's dream. And they're easy to acquire! Here, fresh ideas for keeping your hair ultra-soft:

1. Skip gel. Most are made with strong-hold ingredients that leave hair crunchy and brittle. If you must use gel, mix it with a bit of hair cream before applying.

2. Brush gently. Too-harsh brushing can cause hair to break and split, which leaves it rough to the touch.

3. Use Shine Mist Water. It coats the hair, smoothing down rough and damaged spots. Apply to soaking-wet hair before styling.

4. Give hair the run-through. Once you've dried and styled your hair, run your hands over your locks to break up any sections left hard by styling products.

5. Moisturize. If hair is frizzy and wiry-feeling when dry, rub a small amount of hand lotion into the ends to make them touchable.

Looking after frizzy hair


Is your hair impossible to untangle? Too thick? Too dry? Frizzy hair is often difficult to style, however with the right products and care, your hair will reveal all its beauty!
The characteristics of frizzy hair
It’s naturally very curly and generally very dense, as well as flat.


It lies flat on the skull rather then straight (this is to protect the scalp from the sun).
Women of black, African and Caribbean origin will be familiar with these characteristics!

Problems
With the climate in the tropics, the scalp is always moist, which helps hair to grow and stay healthy.

But in countries with moderate climates like European countries, the lack of moisture causes tightening of the pores, resulting in a build up of sebum on the scalp. This suffocates and dehydrates the scalp while the rest of the hair becomes dry, frizzy and starts to grow in spirals.

This leads to the need for constant styling, which in turn causes the hair to become fragile.

Shampooing
As this type of hair is fragile and dry, it needs to be gently washed and intensely nourished. Use shampoo specifically designed for dry and frizzy hair, follwed by a rich, nourishing conditioner.

Massage the hair and scalp, rinse first with hot water, then warm and finish with a blast of cold (this helps untangle the hair and make it shine).

Treatments
- Once a week, use an ultra nourishing mask to soften and deeply nourish your hair. Do this before shampooing, and leave it in for at least half an hour, wrapping your hair in a hot towel. If your hair is extremely dry then leave your masks on overnight and wash your hair in the morning - it will be visibly softer.



Brushing
 
frizzy hair is difficult to brush as it is very fine yet thick, and breaks easily. Untangle it with a special comb or large-toothed comb. You can also use detangling lotion on the knots.

Avoid
- Styling gels: they dry the hair and suffocate the scalp.
- Braiding your hair too tightly: it puts too much pressure on the hair and could make it fall out.
- Some conditioners can be too strong and can make the hair fragile.
- Heavy extensions that pull on the roots can cause the hair to fall out.
