How to Wash Hair Properly

2009-06-11T09:13:00.000+02:00

Did you know that washing hair improperly in water can cause catastrophic physical damage?

By Monica C.

It's common for people to think that there are just some things in life that do not require instruction manuals. Well, of course many things don't need instructions. However, hair is unfortunately not one of these things. Just like any art or science, people can improve by following the right steps.

Does Washing Damage Hair?

Washing can cause hair damage, if it's not done properly. You see, some physical properties of human hair are altered when water is introduced to the equation. Therefore, washing hair improperly in water can cause catastrophic physical damage.

If you want to avoid hair damage while simply washing your beautiful locks, then start with the most basic thing: the temperature of the water. The big question: which is safer with hair, cold water or warm water? The answer is, quite simply, warm water. Wet your hair with water heated to a few degrees above room temperature.

After wetting your hair, learn the right way of applying the shampoo unto your hair. Most folks just squeeze the bottle of shampoo unto the hair and rub vigorously so the shampoo would lather on the scalp. As you may have already noticed, this is approach is a bit too abrasive.

Therefore, what you can do is to lather the shampoo on your hands and use your fingers to spread the shampoo unto your scalp. Remember, you're cleaning both your hair and your scalp. If you leave the scalp out from the equation, more than half of the accumulated dirt would remain on your head.
Try: Neaclear Liquid Oxygen Hair Shampoo ($9.99): Neaclear Liquid Oxygen Hair Shampoo energizing formula is essential for revitalizing dull, lifeless hair. It leaves your hair detangled and feather light with incredible shine. Stimulate your scalp and senses with the aroma therapeutic benefits of chamomile, rosemary, and sweet almond oil.

Things to Avoid!

Some people (women especially) try to make a bun out of their hair when they're lathering and rinsing it. This is a very bad practice and should be abandoned immediately. You're running the risk of damaging the hair shafts and needlessly breaking clumps of hair.

Instead of making a bun, why not let your hair hang freely whichever direction it wishes? This is applicable especially to rinsing. Rinsing is the part of a shower when all the shampoo (including the dirt and grime) are washed off and drained. You won't be able to do this properly if you keep locking most of your hair strands together. Give your hair the breathing space it requires during rinsing.

How to Apply Hair Conditioner

Some people feel that conditioners are like shampoos: you only need them for a couple of seconds before rinsing them off. This approach is not applicable to conditioners. If you're using a specialized conditioner, make sure that you let it stay on your hair for at least five minutes.
Try: Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner ($30.04): this rich, hydrating formula replenished and maintains proper moisture balance to leave hair smooth, manageable and lustrous.

Sure, your hair might feel softer a few seconds of conditioning, but the process of moisturizing the hair shafts is something else. You need to give your hair and the chemical compounds time. Moisturizing is actually very tricky; but you can overcome this obstacle by leaving your hair in its 'conditioning' state while you clean your body.

If you're finding it hard to wait around for the conditioner to be absorbed, then we suggest that you shampoo first before working your body. That way, you'd be rinsing off your hair the same time you're rinsing your body.

Colored Hair Care

2009-06-10T08:57:00.001+02:00

By Megan Winegar
@ Overstock Drugstore

Colored hair can look great when it's new, but after awhile it becomes faded and dull. What can you do to keep your colored hair looking fresh and healthy?

* First, don't wash your hair every day. This isn't a bad idea even for people who don't have colored hair (shampoo strips hair of it's natural oils and can dry it out), but it's especially important for people who do.

* Touch up your hair when it needs it, and use the same color you used before if you are just touching up. Start at the roots and allow that part to settle first before applying the rest of the color.

* Avoid exposing your hair to UV rays any more than you have to. Wear hats or use hair products with sunscreen in them when you go outside to keep your hair color from fading.

* Use a color-protection shampoo. It will be more gentle on your hair and will help to keep your color looking sharp.

* Keep blow drying to a minimum. Heat damage will dry out your hair, and chemical-treated colored hair is more susceptible to becoming dry and broken.

* Keep your hair trimmed. Coloring your hair makes it more fragile, which means it will probably break more often.

* Be gentle when you dry your hair. Don't rub it with a towel; instead, blot it carefully.

* Use a wide-tooth comb on your wet hair instead of a brush. The comb is more gentle and will help you to avoid breaking your hair.

* Wet hair with non-chlorinated water before going into a pool to dilute the effects of the chlorine.

African American Summer Hair Care Tips

2009-06-09T15:18:00.004+02:00

Here are some tips to keep your hair healthy and flourishing during these wonderful summer months.

By Eddie Simpson

It's finally summer time and you are probably ready to have some fun in the sun! If you are anything like me, you are likely trying to soak up every bit of summer because before you know it, winter will be here again. I love biking, taking long walks, swimming, or spending all day at amusement parks during the summer months. All of these activities are great for my mind, body and soul, but wreck havoc on delicate tresses if they are not properly cared for.

It's just as important to take extra precaution in the summer's sun as it is in the harsh winter's frigid weather. Many people don't realize that the sun dries out the hair and may leave it brittle if it's not properly and regularly moisturized; remember, just because there's humidity in the air, doesn't mean there's automatically moisture in your hair. Here are some tips to keep your hair healthy and flourishing during these wonderful summer months.

1. Keep your hair protected by wearing buns, extensions, or twists to avoid total exposure to sun

2. If you are planning to stay in the sun for long periods of time, use a protective sunscreen on your hair before stepping out. Be sure to wash the hair afterwards.

3. Stay away from heating appliances such as flat-iron, hot combs, or curling irons. If you MUST use them, be sure to use a heat protectant like Isoplus Oil Sheen Hair Spray ($4.33): Hair doctor in a can!

4. Do not wash your hair with hot water; this will dry out the hair. Use cool water instead.

5. Avoid using products containing alcohol, mineral oil, paraffin gel and other ingredients that lead to dry brittle hair. Natural products do not contain these harsh ingredients.
Try Eko Coconut Shampoo ($1.60): this unique formula with botanicals and natural ingredients penetrates every strand to restore condition and shine, without causing build-up or weighing hair down. Beautifies and Conditions all types of Hair.

6. Moisturize your hair daily. Use a light misting spray or natural moisturizer regularly, like Proline Soft and Beautiful Just for Me Oil Moisturizing Lotion ($3.03): it conditions, adds moisture and shine.

7. Always use a moisturizing shampoo that does not contain lauryl/laureth sulfate.

8. Deep condition your hair after each shampoo.
You will love Magnificent Hair Food Formula ($2.96): a light conditioner that offers deep penetrating nutrition for the hair. It contains Wheat germ oil, Coconut oil and also Vitamin E.

9. Drink plenty of water to help keep yourself and your hair hydrated.

10. If your hair is natural, moisturize your hair at night and sleep with a plastic cap under your scarf in order to allow the moisture to penetrate your hair.
Use Queen Helene olive oil hot oil tubes strength and elasticity hair treatment ($3.99): it gives immediate relief to dry, brittle and overstressed hair.

11. Before plunging into a pool, be sure to coat the hair with either a moisturizer or conditioner if possible. Wear a swim cap, and wash the hair as soon as possible after exiting the pool.
Use Eboline Coconut Oil Hair Conditioner with Vitamin E ($2.96): coconut oil lubricates and softens the hair shaft through the action of minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron.

If you follow these simple rules you will be able to enjoy the sun and enjoy your hair!

Short, Trendy Hairstyles For Summer 2009

2009-05-05T09:18:00.003+02:00

By Tim Faber

Short, trendy hairstyles are hot for spring and summer 2009. A relaxed, yet sophisticated look prevails with some easy to manage designs that look great and are simple to maintain. Undoubtedly, short hair is most preferred during the hot seasons, and 2009 is no different. Stylists around the world are predicting that short and trendy hairstyles will be in vogue this year. Take a look at what will be hot!
View yourself in various short hairstyles at TheHairStyler.com

Convenience and Simplicity

The convenience afforded by short hair is one of the biggest reasons that short hairstyles have been popular among women, especially those who work. But, convenience is not the only selling factor for shorter designs during the spring and summer seasons.

Apart from the ease of maintenance, shorter styles can create a look of glamour and chic unmatched by longer tresses. Shortened designs tends to look bolder and can be made to look trendy or sleek depending on the occasion. Also, they tend to make one look younger than one's age and is very popular among women in the show biz.

Pixie Cut

The "Pixie" is among the hot and trendy short hairstyles this season. It helps accentuate your features as well show off your trendy earrings. You can easily get a messed up look or you could straighten your hair to give you a sleek look for an evening. You could use bold red color at the edges and it will help frame your face and call attention to the layers.

Choppy, Layered Cut

This is for women who want to sport a messed-up look. Hair is cut in uneven broken layers and the edges are then trimmed with a razor. It helps soften the blunt edges made by scissor cuts.

This gives a soft and deconstructed messed up look that has become a hot favorite among the younger generation. You could color the tips with bold colors to create an even more glamorous look.

The Bob

The Bob cut was invented over 8-years ago, but continues to remain popular among women who want to wear their hair short. The length of the hair and the look has evolved over the years and the cut remains refreshing and trendy even after so many years. The best aspect of a bob is that it will suit a face of any shape, whether it is round or oval and it helps accentuate your features. The edges of the hair can be highlighted for added effect.

Samson’s dual system provides you with one comb to help cleanse your scalp of dead skin buildup with a low-level infrared system and ozone producing system. The cleansing comb will kill bacteria buildup on your scalp, stimulate your hair follicles, and brush away dead skin with each stroke.

Follow-up with the applicator comb that will apply Minoxidil directly to your scalp while using ultrasonic vibrations to get the Minoxidil into the roots of your hair. No messing around with using your fingers to massage the Minoxidil into your scalp each day. Simple follow the usual instructions on the box of Minoxidil. Except, with the Samson Dual Stage System, pour the Minoxidil into the applicator comb and turn on the ultrasonic vibrations. The applicator comb will do the rest of the work. In a few months, you’ll see the results.

Take back the power. Take back your confidence. Take back your hair. The Samson Dual Stage Hair System is the only system available that uses proven hair loss reduction methods in combination with the most successful hair growth breakthrough in modern medicine: Minoxidil.
