How to take care of your damaged hair

Do you have unmanageable damaged hair? This article will tell you how to tame and take care of your damaged hair.

1. Take a deep breath. Think positive and stay confident. Keep in mind that this process of restoring your hair might take a while, but you are off to a great start, and when you're finished, the results will be beautiful!
2. Wash your hair well. Wash your hair every other day. Always use more conditioner than shampoo. Put the shampoo in as you normally do, but remember, not that much, and don't pile it on top of your head as this can cause damage. Then, put the conditioner in, mainly focus on the ends and towards the center of the hair if you have straight or wavy hair. If you have curly hair apply the conditioner to the whole length. Scrub your scalp well with your fingertips. The top of the hair is the part you need to be the least worried about.
3. Leave the conditioner in for 5-15 minutes. You can leave the water on, just don't let it touch your hair for that time. During the wait, you can shave, listen to the radio, or wash your body. After the approximate time is over, brush through your hair with the conditioner in. Then thoroughly rinse the conditioner out.
4. Bend down and let your hair dangle upside down and put a towel over your hair and gently squeeze or scrunch out the excessive water. Drying too roughly can damage the hair. After you towel dry it, put in a nickel sized amount of anti-frizz/anti-dry products. (Use more for curly or kinky hair.) If you don't have any products for frizz or dryness, just put a little bit of conditioner in your hair. If you have oily or greasy hair, just skip that step, or use a dime sized amount instead.
5. Brush your hair with a comb, or a brush with gentle bristles. If you have naturally curly or wavy hair, use mousse, or styling gel while it's wet. Be gentle and work on tangles instead of ripping through them. If you took your shower in the morning, putting it into a ponytail or braid is a good option. If you're getting ready to go to bed, put it up in some fashion so moving in your sleep doesn't cause damage. Braids and a sleep cap can be helpful to preserve the hair, or a high ponytail.
6. Let your hair naturally air dry.
7. Repeat these steps for everyday that you shower, and you should start to see an improvement in your damaged hair.
8. Use marbling hair treatments of Arimino hair care products. your hair. The protein will help rebuild the hair's natural keratin and other deep treatments help the hair retain moisture, especially if your hair is coarse or curly.
9. Avoid using chemicals and heat on your hair. Likely, this is how your hair got damaged in the first place. Avoid too much hair dye, chemical relaxers or straighteners. Look into natural hair dyes like henna for red hair, indigo for black hair, and lemon juice or other citrus for some natural lightening.
   • When you go swimming saturate your hair with conditioner before hand, and cleanse well afterward. A swim cap will also help.
10. Protect your hair from the sun. You can use a hat or a bandanna while you're outside for long periods of time. Or you can apply a styling product with a sunscreen ingredient such as benzophenone.
11. Try not to let your hair get caught in things throughout the day and use friendly hair accessories that don't tangle easily in the hair.
12. Wear your hair in protective styles like rolls and braids so that it becomes less tangled and is exposed less to the elements. Make use of hats if you're having a particularly bad hair day, and if you just can't stand your damaged hair, you can acquire a natural looking wig.

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. • 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.
     
     

     

Should You Get Bangs?

As their beauty benefits transcend trends, bangs are a style perennial. Those always popular, face-framing fringes can enhance a long or narrow face structure, hide forehead lines or a large forehead, dramatize your eyes -- even make you look younger. Some of our clients report they just couldn't live without bangs! Yet other people regret them as soon as they are cut.
Here are some guidelines for beautiful bangs to help you decide if they are for you.
Pros Know Best Cutting bangs is never, ever, a do-it-yourself beauty project! In addition to the need for a certain level of skill, there are so many considerations -- from hair texture to your facial features -- that go into cutting bangs that it is one job that should always be left to a hair pro. Bangs, let alone botched bangs, are hard to conceal and grow out.
Bangs Bonanza One size, or type, does not fit all when it comes to bangs. There are many different types of bangs, and your hairstylist can work with you to determine what type will flatter you. Ask your hairstylist about short bangs (a new look); angled bangs (flattering for prominent features) and easy-to-grow-out wispy bangs (ideal for those who don't want to commit to a bang style, as they can be easily swept off the face).

Texture Tips Bangs look best on straight to slightly wavy hair. Curly or textured hair should use layers or other techniques to frame and flatter the face.

The Shape of It Face structure comes into play when deciding whether bangs are right for you, and if so, what kind. Bangs work well on oval, long, and square faces. Avoid bangs if your face is round and full.

The Skin You're In Oily hair and oily skin don't make for a good bang look. Realize that your bangs rest on your forehead, so if you're prone to breakouts, it's best to keep your forehead clear of hair. If it's just your hair that tends to be greasy, be sure you're willing to keep it super clean in order to keep it from affecting your skin.

Growing Pains For as many clients we get wanting bangs, we have others trying to grow them out. To avoid growing pains, we suggest working with your stylist for a transitional style while waiting out your bangs. The best strategy to pass the time stylishly is to employ hair products, experiment with accessories, and schedule regular visits to your stylist. Be sure to get frequent trims as they will help your bangs keep a nice shape as they grow. Styling products, like hair wax or hair spray, can keep bangs off your face as they grow. Conceal, or hold in-between-stage bangs in place with a well-placed clip, band, or other hair accessory.
