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.

A Touch Of Romance

Valentine's Day is the most romantic day of the year. Whether you are spending the evening at home with your sweetie or heading out on the town, you will look and feel gorgeous with one of these romantic hairstyles.

Messy updo

One of the most popular hairstyles for special occasions is the messy updo. Instead of a perfectly coiffed style, this one is a bit messy and a lot sexy. It's ideal for a romantic night out on Valentine's Day. This style works for shoulder-length hair that is straight, wavy or curly.

To create a messy updo, begin by towel drying your hair and then  spray it with peace's chocolate spray. Using a paddle brush, separate and blowdry your hair. Neospray would work too.

Place a dollop of mousse into your hand and then work it through the hair in the back to create volume and texture.

Pull the majority of your hair into a high ponytail on the back of your head and secure with an elastic band. Be sure to leave some strands loose to frame your face.

Next, separate your ponytail into three or four sections. Then you need to bring each section down, folding it over and into the base of your ponytail, securing with bobby pins or another elastic band.

My Top Men’s Hair Styling Tips


Before choosing the best hair products for men you should be very careful and know which ones will work for you. The first hair product to choose should be your shampoo, which should match with your hair type. Note that the best hair products for men have the difference of premature baldness and healthy hair.
When you decide to get your mens grooming tips going on you should know pliable ones are best because they are cheaper than others in the long run. For many years the best hair product for men has been Grooming Compound; a great selection as you can put it on in the mornings and it will still be looking great in the evening when you go out.
Another men’s grooming tip is that you should get your hair cut at least once every four to six weeks so that you look the finest. How do modern men currently style their hair? What products are right for which one of the haircuts? What are the options for balding hair? Here we present the hair styling rules, which all men should know Men who visit the hair salon just once a year are rare these days. Nowadays, maintaining stylish hair is part of the daily routine just like keeping the body hair neat. You can successfully attend to your care routine if you use the following tips. Hair we go!

The Dos and Don’ts of Men’s Hair:
Men used to restrict themselves to shampooing and blow-drying their hair. Today, men draw on almost unlimited resources. Whether your hair is short or long, whatever appeals to you goes. You can decide whether you want to wear an accurate form-cut like Jake Gyllenhaal or rather sport the tousled out-of-bed look of Johnny Depp. Also in fashion are the more feminine haircuts with longer fringes and fringed covering hair. You will be wearing your hair style in your work place as well. Dreadlocks, an Iroquois or punk haircut or hair styles with tribal or other motifs shaved into the hair are a matter of taste or no taste, whatever the case may be.

Hair Styling for Men: (Helpful Tools)
Aside from a hair dryer and comb, a man’s hair styling tools should also include a hair brush. Invest in a brush with natural bristles or a massage brush with rounded bristles, rubber or wood bristles. A flat iron may be useful for men as well. Be sure to buy a flat iron of good quality so that you won’t heat damage your hair and scalp. By the way, wildly growing eyebrow hairs should be plucked out using tweezers. You should regularly disinfect these tweezers with alcohol. A very small dab of wax or gel will keep the hair close to the skin. Use Japanese hair wax.

Men need the proper products:
Short hair is best styled using gel. Gel gives short hair styles sufficient hold. Using the right amount of gel is very important. Porcupine quills and the concrete look are out of style right now
Wax or pomade is the right choice if you like your hair to fall softly. The products should also have a pleasant fragrance, Gel is not suitable for longer hair because it makes long hair rigid and hard to style.
Hair wax or styling crème helps to create a natural hair style. You should use hair spray with some caution after you have applied gel or wax to your hair. While the hair spray will provide hold, it can also make your hair appear bedraggled. Recommended Caretrico hair products.

Balding Hair What to Do?
What are your options when your hair falls out? Many men have to deal with balding hair. Hair growth promoting treatments and hair transplants are possible solutions. However, the simple and cool way to deal with the loss of hair is a razor-short haircut or a bald head. Consult with your hair stylist before making your decision and don’t hesitate to ask your closest friends for feedback.

Stylish Facial Hair:
The opinions on beards are split. As a general rule, you should only grow a beard if you have enough facial hair. Meagre beards tend to look unattractive. Beards like the hair on the head are subject to trends. Three-day beards can be sexy but this is not (no longer) true for a thick bushy moustache. On the other hand, chin beards and full beards keep growing in popularity. You should not forget to take care of your facial hair. It needs to be washed at least every second day. Not all hair grows at the same speed and you should therefore trim your dry beard as needed. Wild scraggly beards are not in style at all. Special beard trimmers and electrical beard trimmers can be helpful tools for the care of your beard. The same tools are also useful to trim sideburns. Bushy mutton chops look good on only very few men. Most men look better with properly trimmed sideburns, which match the hair style and beard.

A Front Top Cowlick Hairstyle

Cowlick is an area of hair that fails to grow in the same direction as the rest of the hair. With a cowlick hairstyle your hair sticks out, or lies to the side, so that it is not flat like the rest of your hair. This can be a bother since you can find it a challenge to style. There are some corrective methods or styles you can use.

Instructions

    • 1
      Calm your cowlick bangs. Grow your cowlicks long enough to give them weight. Wash your hair with Japanese shampoo to remove any chemicals or dirt it may have. Dry it with a brush, beginning with the cowlicks at your forehead. Apply pastes, pomades or Japanese hair hairspray to direct your hair. Stroke the brush in one direction five to 10 times with a round brush or a vent to weight down the frontal cowlicks. Switch and brush the hair in the opposite direction.
    • 2
      Level your cowlicks. Cut your frontal hair, leaving a spot where the cowlick is a little longer. Wash it with shampoo and dry it with a blow dryer. Your hair will bounce back once it is dry. Direct the hair in the opposite direction of the way the cowlick grows out using a round brush. Blow dry your hair in that direction at close range. Spray your hair with hair spray to make it stay.
    • 3
      Straighten your frontal hair. Level your hair with a hair straightener in the direction you want it to go. Apply a heat spray or conditioning spray to your hair to prevent it from being damaged by the heat of the straightener. Repeat this for five or seven days to completely tame your cowlicks to go in the direction of the rest of your hair.
    • 4
      Style your hair with hot rollers. Wash your hair with shampoo. Pick a section of the cowlick with your fingers and comb it smooth. Spray it with hairspray. Twist the section and wrap it on the roller to give it a spiral look. Take out the rollers once they have cooled and spray your hair with a hairspray. Turn your head upside down and run your fingers through your hair.
    • 5
      Turn your cowlick under. Wash your hair with shampoo. Dry your hair almost to 70 percent using a blow dryer. Finish drying your hair using a rounded vent brush or round brush. Spray the ends of your frontal hair with hairspray while the brush is in a turned under position in your cowlicks. Aim the blow dryer at your cowlicks for about 15 seconds. Allow your hair to cool for about five to 10 seconds and then remove the brush.
    • 6
      Thin out the cowlick. Comb the cowlicks in different directions to determine the way they should go. Snip off some of the hair using a thinning shear to decrease the bulk of the cowlick closer to the scalp. Avoid texturizing or thinning out the cowlick too much since you have to keep it heavy to easily lay down. Blend it in with the rest of the hair by feathering it out using the shears.
    • 7
      Cut the cowlicks shorter than the rest of your hair. Wash it with warm water and then dry it with a towel or a blow dryer. Apply hair gel, pastes, pomades or hairspray to direct your hair.

How to tame fuzzy flyaways


Do you suffer from the fuzzies? Do you get lots of fine flyaway hair creating that halo effect around your hair?
I do. Mine is a mix of new hair poking through, damaged hair from straightening irons and general humidity affected fuzziness from my curly hair. I usually notice it most when I go to the effort of straightening my hair, leave the house looking fab but in the hurried journey I arrive looking like I just fell out of bed.
So how do you tame flyaway hair?
I like to take a diversified approach and attack from all directions to defeat my wilful hair.
First – You have to target the source
  • Use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner that is right for your hair type. Usually dry or coarse hair will suffer more from flyaways, so consider adding a weekly hair treatment to nurture your hair into a softer shape. Use Japanese hair products.
Second – Protect from heat damage
  • Repeat after me – I will never ever use a straightener without heat protectant products! Please always use a product designed to protect your hair from heat damage when using irons and when blowdrying your hair too. Use SPICE NEO Serum Mist Curl Deco
Third – Smooth it into submission
  • Smooth your hair with a couple of drops of a gloss serum to smooth and add shine to your finished style.

Product Solutions for Every Hair Type

You have many options when it comes to hair care products. With so many on the shelf, how do you know which ones to choose?
There’s no magic formula. Dermatologists say the changes you might see from even the best hair care products are subtle. But there is a roadmap for healthier hair:
  • First, analyze your hair’s texture and condition.
  • Then pick a product formulated for your specific type of hair.

Shampoos

Shampoos contain ingredients that cleanse the hair of natural oils (sebum), dirt, and pollutants such as smoke.
Just about any shampoo will do the job. But some inexpensive brands may be harsh, stripping the hair’s lipid layer. To protect your hair, apply shampoo only on the scalp. You don’t need to wash your hair every day unless you have oily hair.
Volumizing shampoos or thickening shampoos build up fine hair temporarily.  The tradeoff? Volumizing formulas often skimp on conditioning ingredients, so hair may end up looking dull.
Glossing shampoos temporarily boost shine by coating hair with silicones and polymers. Some contain ingredients such as hydrolyzed silk to  make hair feel silky. But dermatologists say the best thing you can do to keep your hair looking glossy is to treat it with care.
Blow dry hair on the cool or warm setting, never hot. Invest in a hairbrush made of natural fibers, and brush hair from the underside out, not from the top down.

Hair Conditioners

A good conditioner can prevent your hair from breaking. Anyone can benefit, but conditioning is especially important for African-Americans, whose hair tends to break at the root.
There are two basic types of conditioners from which to choose:
  • Rinse-out conditioners coat the hair to keep it from becoming tangled and breaking.
  • Leave-in conditioners or deep conditioners work by smoothing out the cuticle or topmost layer of hair, which can become damaged from blow drying, incorrect brushing, or processing.
I recommends choosing Caretrico conditioner that can strengthen hair up to 10% by temporarily filling in the hair’s cuticle.
Look for everyday conditioners containing ceramides and wheat or rice proteins to strengthen hair and shea butter or dimethicone to moisturize hair.
If you color your hair, I suggests using a deep conditioner once a week. Some can be left in all night.

Hair products for men

No more bad hair days. Shampoos, gels and waxes to suit all of your hair care needs.

I’m not really much of a hair styler. Well, I haven’t been up until now! But I really love this product.  I love what it allows me to do with my hair. I’ve taken to styling my hair depending on my moods – what fun! With this Freeze wax  just about any style is possible and it lasts all day. All you need is a bit of imagination and you too can look like a male model or a movie star. What particularly impressed me was that it didn’t leave my hair dry and straw-like and it didn’t create a nasty build-up of sticky gunk on it either. Arimino products are sold exclusively at www.vjpeace.com

I would say that Japanese hair products are really outstanding!
