Best Hairspray

You may not have been born with the hair you have always wanted, but there are a few things you can do to alter your hair’s texture and mood. Japanese hair Spray is the best way to finish off your look and keep it lasting throughout the day and/or night. No one wants to carry hair spray out with them so opt for a quality high performance formula that will not leave you falling flat half way through the day. No matter what level of hold you prefer or climate you live in, hair spray is your best weapon to keep your hair protected and looking full of body while taming frizz and warding off damage and dullness.

Best Firm Hold Hairspray

 Firm hold hair spray is perfect for those stubborn hair types that either falls flat instantly, has issues with frizz or simply refuses to stay in place. Up-dos often need a little extra hold due to the gravity defying structure of the style. Fine hair often needs a firm hold, yet there are too many products that can weigh hair down. Stubborn curls that invest time in flat ironing or smoothing and taming unruly strands need reassurance that hair will stay strait or controlled all day and night. These products will not weigh down your hair, but will keep your style lasting through just about anything.

Peace Black Spray

This is truly an amazing hair spray. You get hair that still has movement and remains natural looking while the product locks out frizz and holds your style. Straight and/or fine hair types will love how bouncy and full of volume hair looks. Frizzy curly hair types will see and feel the difference this spray makes, while static and frizz is locked out- yet the style still remains.

How to Care for Fine Hair

Use a good shampoo and conditioner like Japanese hair products.   If you have oily hair,  which is not uncommon for people with fine hair, it's best to put the conditioner on the ends of your hair to prevent split ends but stay away from the scalp. If you have a dry itchy scalp, go with moisturizing shampoos and use a lot of conditioner.


Use hair mask if your hair is damaged. It's a great way to keep hair healthy and shiny for all types. If you have oily hair, it'll still work too but make sure to use a good clarifying shampoo and get a mask that is not too heavy because it will weigh your hair down and it's just not good for fine hair. Using a treatment at night and leaving it in while you sleep is great, just wash it out the next day.

Don't comb or brush your hair excessively. If your hair is fine or even fine and curly, it could easily break your hair and cause split ends especially when it's wet. Never brush your hair while it's still wet.

Let your hair air dry. Don't use styling tools like flat irons, blow dryers, and etc. Your hair may look nice but in the long run it'll ruin your hair completely for all hair types. If you have to use one, use a heat protector to prevent serious damage.

Wash your hair every day with a gentle shampoo. I would recommend Arimino Sherpa hair care series.  Fine hair shows when it's dirty much faster than coarse or thick hair. If you can afford to skip a day, however, you should because washing your hair daily actually causes damage. Plus if you're one to straighten your hair all the time, it helps a bit if you take a shower every other day or so, since you wont have to use heat tools every day after you take a shower.

Arimino Marbling Hair

Give your dry, damaged hair a healthy, lustrous shine with a hair mask. Read on to learn more about this easy at-home hair treatment.

When you want to give your hair a smoothing boost, try Arimino marbling hair care( Marbling treatments). This treatment can help remove dirt from your hair and give it a shot of moisture, making it shinier and more manageable. They also serve as a caretrico conditioner and can work in tandem with everyday conditioners that wash out with shampoo. While healing damaged hair is impossible, hair treatment can help create the illusion of hair repair while the damage is growing out. You can use a hair mask as often as once a week, although for many people once a month is enough.
 
It’s easy to make your own treatment at home, and when you mix your own you can control the ingredients, modifying the treatment for your hair’s needs and ensuring your treatment doesn’t contain any unwanted chemicals. Marbling Treatments are great choices for gently counteracting the damaging effects of hair coloring, perming and relaxing.

Mousse or Gel? Volumizer or styling spray? Confused by the array of hair care products?

Selecting a hair care styling product can be a 30 minute event. There are so many types of products each meeting a specific hair care need. How many hair care styling products are in your bathroom?

Did you know that the overuse of hair care products can weigh your hair down and leave it to oily or dry and brittle? Well hopefully this summary will help you sort out the differences in hair care products and help you select the right product for your hair.

Hair mousse: also know as shaping foam, it is good for loose natural hairstyles. Mousse is lightweight can be applied to the roots for volume and lift. Because mousse is lightweight it offers modest control and leaves hair soft and flowing and not crunchy or sticky. To apply mousse, dispense a golf-ball size into your hands and work it through damp hair from roots to ends. Additionally, you can use as a spot treatment for an unruly area such as a cowlick. Try Spice Neo Foams

Gel: also comes in spray form and has different degrees of hold, from firm to soft. Gel is good for making short hair more manageable, and/or taming curls that tend to frizz. Gel can also be applied to create a wet look or slicked back look such as in a pony tail. Gel gives more hold than mousse but not as much hold as hairspray. To use gel, apply a nickel-size amount in your hands and work through damp hair. Allow your hair to air dry or blow dry. Gel is not necessarily recommended for fine hair as it tends to flatten it. Also, gel is not recommended for long hair because if the product is not thoroughly worked into the hair it can leave hair sticky and stiff. A nice product! Spice Gel!

Hairspray: probably the first of hair care products, next to shampoo and conditioner. Also known as texturizing sprays, finishing spray, mist or spritz, and comes in a varying degree of hold. Hairspray is best used for fine hair or medium-thick hair that needs a little volume. Hairspray is also useful for a styled look to keep hair in place. To apply hairspray, hold the bottle at arm's length and spray hair. Hairspray is not recommended for curly or frizzy and/or dry hair as it can make it feel more dry and crunchy.

Styling Spray: also known as sculpting or styling spray, volumizing lotion, and blow-dry styling spray. Anyone that blows dries their hair needs a protectent. Fine to medium hair benefits the most from a body boosting styling spray. Styling sprays can protect hair from heat, smooth down or boost up flat hair, depending on the formula of the styling spray. To use, comb styling spray through hair from roots to ends before blow drying. Styling sprays will not do much for styling curls. If you are air drying this type of styling sprays will leave hair crunchy and stiff.

Pomade: also known as balm, clay, mud, paste, and hair wax. There are water based and oil based pomades. Fine ore medium textured hair responds well to water-based products as it does not weigh them down. Coarse and thick textured hair responds well to oil-based pomade for its taming properties, although oil-based pomades will attract dirt. Some pomade has light deflecting properties which will give dull hair shine. Additionally while some pomade will hold hair in place others will leave a greasy look. To use, apply a pea-sized amount to your hands until it disappears and apply from mid-shaft of hair to ends. If you have not let the pomade disappear from your hands then it will go on leaving clumps in your hair.

Gloss: also known as shine, finishing polish, shine spray and silicone drops. Dry, dull and damaged hair responds well to a gloss and so does curly and medium-to coarse hair. The silicone coats the hair shaft and smoothes out the roughness on the shafts making the hair reflect light. A shine adds moisturizer to your hair without making it look greasy and oily. To smooth finished hair rub to or three drops or one spray from a spray gloss, and run your hands over the top of the hair. If gloss is not used sparingly, it can make hair limp and oily looking, especially on fine hair.


Summary:
Curly and/or coarse hair should use a gel or lotion to smooth out, tame, eliminate frizz and hold the final style. The final product should be a promenade or gloss to add shine.
Fine or limp hair needs products with polymers such as a volumizing mousse to plump up hair shafts and allow styling. A light gel or hairspray should be the final touch.

Best Hairspray for Fine and Straight Hair

Those of us cursed with fine hair have a hard time finding hairsprays that hold our hairstyles for more than an hour. Many hairsprays that claim to be flexible or long-lasting take our hair from styled to flat in no time at all due to the weight of the product or the spray's inability to protect our hair from outside elements such as humidity.

I spent years trying to find a hairspray that could live up to its hype, and I've come across a hairspray that every girl with straight, fine hair should have in her arsenal of styling products.

1.Spice Neo Hair Spray

  Spice Neo's Hairspray is the only hairspray that does what other brands claim to do. this is a very fine, lightweight spray that lasts all day long. This hairspray will keep curly hair straight, and straight hair curly in high humidity. It's not sticky but still manages to hold styles perfectly. I can't say enough good things about this product.

My hair is fine and very straight. I put Arimino's hair sprays to the test by making waves and curls with a curling iron by very lightly spraying each section of hair before curling it (waiting until it dried, of course), and then gave it a light spraying at the end.

I spent the rest of the day outside in close to 100% humidity and didn't really think about my hair at all. When I arrived home and glanced in the mirror, I was shocked to see that 90% of my curls had lasted through the heat and humidity. In fact, my hair looked better than it did earlier in the morning. It's been my favorite hairspray ever since, and I tell everyone about it.

I buy this brand at my local hair salon.  it's a great product to have on-hand for tough styles on my fine hair. It smells great! I would say Japanese hair spray is the best!

Secrets to Getting Super Straight Hair

I was born with stick-straight hair so it doesn't take much more than a blow dryer and a brush to tame my mane. But my best friend was born with amazing curly hair and to get her hair straight involves such tedious drying, brushing and flat-iron that she's developed amazing biceps that she claimed she got from simply straightening her hair.

So how to get your hair straight and sleek? Here are some tips:

Wash hair first. You'll get better results if you don't start with already dried hair.
Towel-dry hair so it's barely damp. This cuts down on drying time. And apply special leave-in such as, Marbling hair ( Caretrico Marbling Care Essence Type-S) This one works for straight hair.

If you have wavy hair, I would recommend Caretrico Marbling Care Essence Type-H.
These two are special home care products.

Dry hair with a paddle brush pointing the nozzle downward. You want to avoid adding body to hair, so don't "fluff" as you dry. You're aiming for stick straight hair. You want it to hang like a curtain.
Follow with a flat iron. Start at the hair closest to the nape of the neck, ironing in small sections.
Finish by running a shine serum through hair. Skip this step

Must-Have Hair Products

The professionals choose their favorite hair products every year, but we want you to know what our favorites is.These are must-have hair products!

Shine serum.

Here is where you may say, 'what?' But really, who would turn down a shiny mane if promised one? This shine serums( SPICE NEO Serum Milk Gloss) really do work. If you have fine, straight hair, forgo the serums for the spray & don't use too much. Shine products will weigh down fine hair, so a quick spritz will do you. If your hair is thick, try the serums, which help smooth the hair & give it an added gleam, or just use more of the spray. Check out shine serums from Vjpeace.

You can find more products from Arimino Spice hair care series like shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, hair sprays, mousses, hair wax and so on.

The Best Shampoos For Thinning Hair

There are many different shampoos for thinning hair that will help you hair look and feel thicker and healthier. However, you need to look for certain ingredients in order to experience the benefits. For one, the best shampoos for thinning hair will ideally contain ingredients that help make hair thicker and less likely to fall out or break. You want to look for products that say Volumizing on the label, like Arimino's new line,  Arimino Shepra, SHERPA D Supple Shampoo D-1. This formula is designed to increase the thickness and diameter of each hair strand, which will leave hair looking thicker and fuller. For other ways to help the appearance of your hair, check out this.

I swear Sherpa's shampoos, they are the best shampoo. Sherpa is consistently rated by the pros and can be found in the top salons in the country. Those with fine, oily hair need clarifying shampoos that don't add build-up to already oil-heavy locks. I have fine hair and SHERPA D Supple Shampoo D-1 is the shampoo I have in my bathroom.  It leaves no residue, smells amazing and keeps my fine hair from falling flat.  Japanese hair products is the best!

Get shiny bouncy hair

Heat and humidity leave you with lacklustre, flat, and lifeless hair. But don't fret-simple haircare tricks can revive your strands and inject them with life. First, analyse your present hair and scalp type (your hair condition changes with season, age, place, and the treatment it has undergone). Our tip: Put your mane through the Dove Damage Meter to gauge its health. Based on the analysis, follow a regimen that keeps your roots healthy, shiny, and voluminous.

Beat the heat
Did you know that the temperature of the water with which you wash your hair affects the way your strands behave? You may have noticed that when you go for a blowdry, your stylist will avoid washing your hair in warm water. "This is because heat makes your scalp sweat, which in turn weighs down your strands,"  "Hot water can also strip hair of its natural oils, making it dry and brittle," we suggest that hair should be ideally washed in lukewarm water but conditioned in cooler temperatures.

Choose right
Use Japanese hair products, like new Caretrico shampoo( SHERPA D Supple Shampoo D1, D2 and D3 ) and moisturising conditioner to keep your hair hydrated and frizz free. The amount of the product you use to wash and condition also contributes to the volume in your hair. Just a teaspoon of shampoo and a pinch of conditioner should be enough for short to mid-length hair.

Always wet your hair thoroughly before applying shampoo. Also, it could be a good idea to dissolve the shampoo in a little water and then pour it over your head. This helps the product to spread through the hair and reduces the risk of product build-up on strands. Use a conditioner after every wash-it will not weigh your hair down if you use the volumising variety. Use very little of it, and apply it only on the strands (not the roots).

The Best Shampoo for Dry Hair

Do you have dry hair and you are looking for a right shampoo ? I had the same problem as well and that is why I compiled this list of best shampoo for dry hair. Originally, I used this list for myself, but I wanted to share it with everyone out there who is having the same problem as me. Why would you want to deal with dry hair, when you could do something about it?

When you use this shampoo (Caretrico Shampoo Type-H) from Arimino Japan for the first time, you are going to be kissing that dryness goodbye and saying hello to your healthy hair that you were naturally born with. It is great for unmanageable, frizzy, dried out hair. It is also great for color damaged hair as well as over blow-dried hair.

Winter hair Care

There's no doubt that the onset of cooler temperatures and the fewer hours of sunlight bring with them a new set of hair demands. Blustery winds snarl hair. Snow, rain, and icy cold make hair brittle and dry. Did you know indoor heating can be as damaging as spending the afternoon under a hair dryer? From split ends to dry frizz, static electricity to hat hair, when it hits, a bad winter hair day can last for months.

Somehow girls who know they have to use conditioner in the summer months because of the heat and the sun, forget that from December to February, indoor heating can totally dehydrate your winter hair. Not to worry. No matter what's causing your hair woes, you can take the protective, replenishing steps to insure your hair does not get damaged. Here are BeingGirl's top ten winter hair care tips.

Winter Hair Tip 1
If you've ever tried to pull socks out of the clothes dryer, you know that static electricity can be a powerful force. When cold conditions cause static to play havoc with your hair, use the same remedy you would on your laundry: a fabric-softening dryer sheet like Bounce. Rub it lightly on your hair and it will remove the static. Or mix two tablespoons of fabric softener with one tablespoon of water and use as a rinse.

Winter Hair Tip 2
Wear a scarf, hat or cap to protect your hair from the cold and wind, but make sure it's not so tight it interferes with the circulation in your scalp.

Winter Hair Tip 3
Avoid taking hot showers or washing your hair in hot water. Use warm or cool water instead. That way the heat won't dry out and/or damage your hair and skin.

Winter Hair Tip 4
Shampoo less frequently and condition after each time. Lock in the moisture by running your hair through cold water. This has the added benefit of giving your hair added shine. Don't rinse out your conditioner completely. Leave in about 25 percent of it. If your hair is too fine, thin, or soft for that, leave the conditioner just in the ends.

Winter Hair Tip 5
Limit the use of blow dryers and curling irons. If you must use them, try using a leave-in conditioner first. Diffuse it on low heat, concentrating on the roots. The less you deal with styling tools, the better off you'll be.

Winter Hair Tip 6
Don't go outside with a wet head. Aside from the fact that your mother will yell, you risk breakage. If your hair freezes, it may break.

Winter Hair Tip 7
Check out your hair spray to make sure it doesn't have a high alcohol content. Likewise avoid spraying perfume in your hair. Both tend to make hair feel dry and brittle.

Winter Hair Tip 8
A humidifier can help by adding moisture to the air, which cuts down on static. Also drinking a lot of water will keep you hydrated on the inside.

Winter Hair Tip 9
Regular trims every 810 weeks are important to get rid of parched ends and give curls more bounce.

Winter Hair Tip 10
If you want to supplement your store-bought products with an all natural treatment, put a few drops of warm, natural oilolive, safflower, avocado, or jojobain the palm of your hand, rub 'til the skin glistens, then starting at the ends, work upwards to the roots. Leave on overnight.

How to Repair Bleach Damaged Hair

Pre-Washing

Using  Japanese shampoo and  treatments can help to infuse your hair with the moisture it needs to grow its longest.  The best treatment to use is Caretrico After Treatment Oil because it actually penetrates the hair unlinke most oils which only coat the hair. It should be applied treatment after washing. After applying, the hair should be covered with a plastic cap. Leave on hair for 5-15 minutes.


Washing

Your choice of shampoo is very important. Shampoos containing harsh sulfates strip the hair and should be avoided. The best type of shampoo to use is one gentle, moisturizing, and sulfate free. But at a minimum, your shampoo should not contain harsh sulfates. Check the ingredients list on your shampoo to find out if they are damaging.

Moisturizing Treatments

Using heat appliances and chemical processes remove moisture from your hair that needs to be replaced. If your hair feels dry, you need to replace lost moisture. Deep conditioning should always be done to the ends of the hair. If a deep conditioner is applied all over, it should be followed with a shampoo (not clarifying).

How often should you use a moisturizing treatment?
A regular light moisturizing treatment should be used following every shampoo (unless a pre-shampoo treatment is done). For very dry and damaged hair, a deep conditioner should be used once weekly. Also, if you use protein treatments often, you may need to deep condition (those that require a shower cap under a heated dryer)

How should the treatment be applied?
Shampoo, then apply the treatment (professional salon products) all over and cover with a shower cap. The treatment should be left in 20-60 minutes. For fine hair, the treatment should be rinsed, followed by a shampoo. For thicker hair, it is not necessary to use shampoo following the treatment.

Styling Tips For Short Hair On Men

Styling Tips For Short Hair On Men

Short hair is hugely popular with men thanks to its versatility, but it still needs styling to look great. Here are some top styling tips to give you short hair that has style and panache!

Step 1: The cut

Just because you are a man, doesn't mean you shouldn't take pride in your hair, so don't be afraid to go to a proper salon, rather than a barbers. You'll get a great cut, that suits you and your life style rather than a generic 'back and sides'.

Step 2: Product

When you have your hair cut, make sure you enquire what product the hairdresser is using and how you can replicate the look at home. Whether you are after a gelled wet look, or stylish hold and shape with a pomade, your hairdresser will find the right product for you

Step 3: Short and messy

Wash your hair and towel dry it. Skip the comb, and head straight for the styling wax. Work it into your fingers and rub them all over the dry hair. This will create a messy yet controlled look which works best on coarse hair, or hair that has been texturized with a razor when cut.

Step 4: Bed Head

If you are after the 'just got out of bed' look, try showering and applying your products before hitting the sack. This will give you genuine bed head style with no effort when you get up, although you may wish to bring the more wild parts under control with a dash of water and wax. Just make sure you keep your hair dry if you shower in the morning.

Step 5: The smart look

When you need to smarten up apply some mousse or pomade when your hair is dry. Part to one side, and neatly comb it back. This works particularly well if you have a slight wave in your hair, and portrays a tailored, well groomed look. Afterwards, just ruffle your hair to return straight to a fun, tousled look.

How to Get Wavy Hair Using Mousse

Wavy hair looks great on everyone, regardless of the hair type or style. It is a great way to add glamour to straight hair, and is a sexy look for a night out on the town. Getting wavy hair can be a lot of work. Using a curling iron or crimper or going to the salon can be either timely or costly. However, getting a beautiful, wavy style doesn't have to be difficult. It can be easily done at home with mousse and ponytail holders.

Instructions


    • 1
      Wash and condition your hair. Towel dry, and comb out any tangles. Your hair needs to be wet, but not dripping.
    • 2
      Squirt a golf-ball-size amount of mousse, SPICE NEO Foam Soft Bouncy( great for wavy style) into your hair. Rub the mousse between your hands. Turn your head upside down, and run the mousse through your hair, from the roots to the ends.
    • 3
      Flip your head back up. Use the comb to section your hair into four parts: two upper layers and two lower layers. Secure each layer with a hair clip. As you separate the layers, be sure that the mousse in each section is completely absorbed. There should not be any white streaky areas.
    • 4
      Unclip one upper section. Use the comb to grab a 1-inch section of hair. Comb the hair through, and then holding it at one end, begin twisting until the hair section is twisted end to end. It is important to comb each section through before twisting it. This will remove any tangles, and make sure all the mousse has been equally distributed.
    • 5
      Roll the twist into a minibun, and secure with a ponytail holder. Continue this process until all hair in the section is twisted and secured with a ponytail holder. Repeat for the opposite upper section, and continue the process on the lower sections.
    • 6
      Keep the hair twisted until it is completely dry. As it dries, the mousse will hold the structure of the twists. This will create beautiful, flowing waves when the hair is undone. It may take overnight for the hair to dry. If you are in a hurry, use a blow dryer.
