| Instant Hair Shine |
Dull and dreary hair takes away half the beauty of the face. Healthy, glossy, manageable hair that reflects light and falls around the face beautifully, is the dream of every woman that is not so difficult to attain after all. Here are a few tips to make your hair shine:
* Bring instant shine to your hair by lightly beating two eggs in milk and massaging them in your hair thoroughly. Rinse after five minutes.
* A little vodka in your shampoo, if used occasionally, can make your thick hair shine instantly.
* Yet another way to make your hair shine for blondes is to add two tablespoons of lemon juice in your rinse water after shampooing, while brunettes and redheads can add apple cider vinegar to their rinse water.
* Everybody can get a vibrant hair color by wisely using his or her garden products! Brunettes can use handful of fresh rosemary sprigs, blondes can use dried chamomile, orange-tone redheads can use chopped up carrot while berry-tone redheads can use chopped up beet. Boil one quart of water. Tie the suitable ingredient according to your hair color in a piece of doubled cheesecloth and toss it into the boiling water. Remove them from heat and let the water soak the color for about 10 minutes. Then, remove the cheesecloth bag. Shampoo and rinse your hair thoroughly. Pour the color enhancer you have prepared over your hair, while it is warm. Be sure it is not hot. Rinse it finally with a quart of cold water. Do this once a month for that lustrous hair posed by models.
* Honey is good for skin and hair. Take 4 cups of warm water and stir 1 teaspoon of honey in it. Pour it into your hair after shampooing and let the hair dry as normal. You don't need to rinse it.
* Over-processed hair lose their shine too so be careful nor to overuse all those chemical hair products in the market. Silicone products add shine to hair momentarily but are difficult to wash out causing a buildup that make your hair dull. Vinegar rinse should be used sparingly too or it may dry out your hair.
* Cold water rinsing makes your hair look shinier as it closes and smoothens the hair cuticle. To further enhance the shine, you can use a finishing crème during and after blow-drying your hair.
* Adding shine to gray hair and keeping them from getting that yellow tint can be difficult. However a professional gloss treatment at the salon seals the cuticle and makes the hair look shinier than ever. It lasts for five weeks.
* Heat activated shampoos and weekly deep conditioning for your hair keep them glossy.Labels: Hair |

| Great Hair Beauty Secrets Revealed! |
Here are some tips and secrets to be the perfect diva that you can try at home, without spending a fortune in the beauty parlors and wandering from beauty clinics and saloons. Remember, they are not to be passed on to your friends:
* The hot tip to make your hair smell aromatic is to prepare your own hair perfume at home. Mix 6 tablespoons of powdered charcoal, 5 tablespoons of powdered myrrh and 1 tablespoon of powdered benzoin together and sieve it thoroughly. Add 2-3 drops of bergamot oil and 2-3 drops of sandalwood oil, 1 tablespoon of potassium nitrate and mucilage of tragacanth to the mixture until it acquires the consistency of a stiff paste. Heat the mixture over a water bath. Shape it into little cones and dry them. Whenever you wash your hair, light one of the cones while your hair is still damp and let them soak the smell of the cone.
* A perfect way to get rid of dry, brittle, dull hair is to massage mayonnaise into your hair thoroughly, starting from the roots to the hair ends. Then pile your hair on top of your head and cover them fully with plastic food wrap. Wrap the pre-heated towel around it and keep it on for 10 minutes. This will help in deep-conditioning your hair. Now, replace the towel with another pre-heated towel and leave it on for 10 minutes too. Now remove all the wraps and shampoo your hair. This cholesterol treatment once a month for your hair is a boon that will keep it soft and shiny.
* If you don't have time to shampoo your oily hair daily, you can try this out. Pour some cornstarch into a dish and dip a clean, large blush brush into it. Brush your scalp and hair roots thoroughly with the cornstarch and leave it on for 10 minutes to soak off the oil. Then brush away the cornstarch flakes, ridding your hair with all that unwanted greasiness.
* Make a mixture by adding ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar with 1 gallon of distilled water and store it in the refrigerator. Once a fortnight, shampoo and rinse your hair thoroughly and then pour 2 cups of the mixture over the scalp and let it saturate the hair. Rinse your hair with cold water to get rid of all the drab of hair styling products.
* A possible cure for your impossible dandruff is vinegar. Massage it into your scalp and leave it to dry for a few minutes. Wash the hair thoroughly and repeat the process daily. Dandruff usually disappears within a few days.
* The ancient Mayan women used avocados to keep their skin and hair healthy. Here is their infallible hair mask that you can use too - Mix ½ ripe avocado, 1 tbsp. olive oil, ½ small banana and 1 egg yolk together and massage it into your hair. Cover it with a plastic wrap and leave it on for one hour. Rinse the mask with warm water and then shampoo your hair thoroughly.
* Say goodbye to your dandruff by dissolving 2 aspirins in your dandruff shampoo before washing your hair with it. Moisturize your hair with a good conditioner later.
* Powder your greasy hair by putting it a little at the root of your hair before straying. For very oily hair, powder your hair heavily and keep it on for 15 minutes. Then wash the hair completely and condition lightly before making the desired style.
* To bleach your hair naturally or just lighten their color, rub lemon juice on them and wander out for a walk in natural sunlight.Labels: Hair |

* Gently brush through the section from roots to ends using a thick, round brush while blow-drying your hair, stretching and straightening your hair at the same time.
* While blow-drying the hair, remember to point the nozzle of the dryer downside to avoid frizzes.
* If you have flyaway hair, you can tame them by applying an anti-frizz serum or pomade on it.
* It is better to blow dry hair while brushing the underside first, so that hairs in the lower section gets dried too and then you can move on to the topmost layer of hair.
* Keep the tension consistent and distribute the heat evenly over the section of the hair to ensure uniform drying of hair and that you do not damage the hair texture.

| Bad Hair Days |
Everybody has to go through some bad hair days when your normally manageable tresses seem to go wild and just do not settle in the desired style. The best way to avoid them is to get a good haircut that suits your hair type and lifestyle. If you do not have time to devote much attention to your hair, go for low-maintenance style. Naturally straight hair will remain more manageable in sleek styles while curly hair may get stubborn sometimes. Living in regions that have high humidity levels may make it difficult to maintain a sleek flyaway look for long. So, it is better to keep simple things in mind and get a smart cut to avoid facing the music later. It is also better to get the trimming done regularly to keep the hair manageable. Yet another way to keep the bad hair days off your shoulders is to use hair products, shampoo and conditioner that suit your hair type and take care of their specific needs.
Dry hair will need moisturizing shampoo while greasy hair will need one with oil control. Also always remember to wash your hair thoroughly and rinse away all the traces of conditioner and other hair styling products that you use to avoid buildups later that make hair look dull and matted. You can also use detoxifying products to banish the buildups. Wet hair get frizzy so make sure that your hair are dry before styling them. You can wet them a little, when needed. Heat damages the hair too, so use blow dryers, heated rollers, tongs and straightening irons as rarely as possible and minimize the damage done by them by using hair products meant specially for the purpose. For dull and limp hair, you can try a deep conditioning treatment and rinsing your hair with cold water. A wide-toothed comb is better than a hairbrush to tame the unwieldy curls.
Cotton pillowcase is better to use, as it does not let your hair slide as often in sleep as satin pillowcase does. Also using hair wax as a finishing touch to style you hair is quite useful, especially in case of curly and coarse hair while flyaway hair can use fixing spray to keep them manageable. The best way to hide a bad hair day for longer hair is to make a low ponytail at the nape of your neck, while shorter hair can be swept back for the sleek effect and can be treated with a high shine wax. Instant glamorized hair products can divert anyone's attention from the worst hair days, yet it is better to use a daily moisturizer on coarse hair and give them a weekly deep-conditioning treatment to keep your hair healthy than trying to hide them later. Hair masks once every fortnight will also keep your hair soft and supple. Yet another way is to get hair extensions like many of our starlets do.Labels: Hair |
