Perms for Fine Hair

2010-09-13T06:13:00.000-07:00

Styling fine hair is challenging, but you can perm it beautifully with some basic hair treatment tips. Naturally, it remains straight and looks very thin. Hence, from selecting haircut styles and ideas to curling it, fine hair needs special attention. Those who are very conscious about their looks prefer perming their hair for added volume and body. Gentle perms for fine hair are better than tight curls and spiral perms. Let's try to understand more about perming for flat, fine hair.

Tips for Perming Fine Hair

Those who have thin hair shafts already know how difficult is it to curl or perm their hair. Unlike thick hair strands, they do not hold the hair formulations. Another downside story regarding thin hair shafts is increased susceptibility to breakage. Even wrapping the hair strands to the perming rods may cause damaging effects. In simple words, self perming hair at home is strictly not recommended for those having fine textured hair. The following are some tips concerning perms for fine hair:

Before perming fine hair, decide the best haircut that suits the hair texture. As a general rule, fine textured hair looks at its fullest, when it is short and cut at a uniform length. Accordingly, opt for short haircuts or medium length layered hairstyles.
For fine hair that has been recently colored, perming is not advisable. This is because, repeated application of chemical based products will cause hair dryness, breakage and thinning. On the safer side, wait for some time and proceed with gentle perms for fine hair.
Analyze the different types of perms, giving due importance to the perming procedure and after maintenance tips. Do not decide a perm type just because it looks good, but check whether it really suits fine shafts or not, before perming.
Coming to the types of perms for fine hair, the best choice is body wave pattern. In this, large sized, concave rods are used to create bouncy, loose waves. It is suited for medium long and long hairstyles.
Of course, you can go for spiral perms for fine hair, but the concerning part is maintenance level for spiral perm hairstyle. So, consult the hairstylist about the preferable perming alternatives for fine hair, then only decide one for your hair.
While perming fine hair, it is best to put hair rollers in a zig-zag parting pattern. The logic is to avoid hair breakage and splits, which are common with straight placing of perming rollers. Follow the same tip at the time of hair setting.
As the waves or perms for fine hair do not stay long, most hair hairstylists suggest a rod to roller perm or transfer perm. The method involves wrapping hair in small rods, applying solution, leaving for some time and unwinding hair. The hair is then wrapped into a roller of specific size and further perming steps are done.
Last but not the least, be thorough with the hair care tips that you are supposed to follow after perming. Like for instance; dry hair by retaining your head in an inverted position and always comb with a wide-toothed brush. Also, deep hair conditioning at regular intervals helps in reducing hair tangling.

On a concluding note, creating perms for fine hair should be proceeded with perming solutions, which are specifically formulated for the hair type. Failure to do so, and the perming will take its toll on hair. In worst cases, you may need to cut the permed hair portion. Provided that you visit a reputable beauty salon and perming is done by a qualified hairstylist, the damaging effects of perms can be reduced to a certain extent.

Facial Creams for Men

2010-09-13T05:33:00.000-07:00

By Ratnashri Dutta

If you think, facial creams are meant only for women, then you are wrong. Like women, even men need to take proper care of their skin. Even they need to carry out proper toning, cleansing and moisturizing so that they too can have a healthy glowing and younger looking skin. More and more men have started using facial creams in order to look good. There are several facial creams for men that have been launched in the market. If you are looking for some of the creams that you can use for your skin type, then given below are the names of some of the creams that one can use.

Facial Creams for Guys: Need for It

Men, like women, feel the same, when they see those much hated lines around their eyes and their mouth. These are signs that they are aging. Men also hate it when they see those pimples, acne or blackheads appearing on their face, making their face look dull, or when their skin feels rough and starts showing all the signs of unhealthy skin. Yes ladies, they face the same skin 'calamities' that we face, the only difference being that we girls react and they do not. But even men (guys I hope I am right?) do not love to go around with a face that gives away the fact that they are aging or that is full of pimples and blackheads. They too want a healthy, glowing skin, free from any problems. But, market is flooded with face creams only for women, which men cannot use. Why? Here's why.

The facial skin of men is around 25% thicker than that of the women. Men also tend to sweat more than women and when the sweat stays longer, it becomes home for bacteria, and they are the ones who are the main culprits of an unhealthy looking skin. Women also have more of nerve fibers than men and moreover, men are more exposed to harsh conditions than women. Hence, the skin creams that are meant for women, are not the correct facial creams for men. Keeping these in mind, many beauty product companies have launched facial creams that are suited for the men skin only.

Sometimes, while buying a cream from the market, people are confused as to which cream will suit them and which will not, which cream will be good for them and which will not. While buying creams for yourself, you should think of what is the type of skin that you have. Accordingly, you should buy a cream that will be good for your skin type. Given below are some of the facial creams for men that will suit various skin types, such as dry, oily and sensitive. More on facial skincare.

Dry Skin
Dry skin can be a huge problem specially during the winters. It is painful and the skin becomes rough and itchy and may even start flaking. Normal skin contains a certain level of fatty oils and moisture, which is less in dry skin. Hence, one needs to use facial creams for men, which contain glycerin and Shea butter. If dry skin is not treated properly, then one might suffer form dermatitis. The creams available for dry skin are:

Nivea Creams for Men
Clarins Men Moisturizer and Balm
Zirh Protect

Oily Skin
Oily skin is a huge problem for many people. Here, there is excess secretion of sebum, which makes the skin, specially the T- zone oily and shiny. True oily skin tends to have less wrinkles, but still, I am sure one would not love to be seen with an oily and dull skin. Avoid creams with glycerin or oil. Tea tree and green tea are very good for oily skin. They protect the skin from any harmful damage too. Given below are some of the facial products for men with oily skin:

Nivea for Men Oil Control Lotion
Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer Oil free
Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturizer.

Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin reacts quickly to heat and cold, or to creams and soaps with harsh chemicals. Those with a sensitive skin are more prone to allergic reactions. Hence, for this type of skin, some mild soaps and creams are needed. They are:

Aveeno Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer
Dove Sensitive Essentials Day Lotion
Nu Skin Epoch Calming Touch Soothing Skin Cream

Avoid any kind of synthetic materials while trying out facial skin care with face creams and moisturizers. They cause more damage to your skin. Besides this, there are several facial treatments for men that you can try out, such as face cleansing, face packs, etc. They will all help your skin look younger and healthier. (Tip: Girls prefer men with a really good and glowing skin, no matter how much they laugh when they see men doing facials). These facial creams for men, will help you get the skin that you want. Make sure that the natural ingredients are used and not synthetic ones.
