Long Hair Styles Short Hairstyles

January 24th, 2010 Hair Extensions No comments

2007 is here and that means that the whole new wave of hair styles is here. From the top stylist in Beverly Hills to Christian Wave, the top stylist at the Golden Globes and Academy awards, they are all showcasing what the term Sedu means. You probably have heard of the whole Sedu wave but what about the best in hair styles suing the Sedu. Jennifer Anniston – the queen of the new hair style is showcasing with the Sedu and she looks sleek and super healthy with her hair. She loves the appliance, no not that one, we mean the Sedu. So shout it from the mountain tops as everybody is talking Sedu.
So what is a Sedu, it is a very ceramic flat iron that is also used in the same company as super silky and super straight. Ceramic flat irons work well to straighten out the curly hair while also eliminating the frizzy hair that tends to frizz after a few hours of straightening. Both of these types of h air work well for the Sedu. There are also beauty products and hair products that work well with the Sedu flat irons. For example the Health Hair Plus line of products can produce the sleek and sexy look that you are after. So which products? The best shampoo to use is Sleek and Straight shampoo and also Sleek and Straight Conditioner. While straightening the hair we suggest using Thermal Protector. That is a very strong suggestion by the way as the Thermal Protector protects hair from the strong heat that comes from the flat irons and appliances. Vitamin shampoo and Silk Protein conditioner helps to rebuild the proteins that are broken down during the process of applying heat to the hair but also proteins are broken down while using straightening products such as relaxers and perms. This is why the hair is constantly needing proteins. Can you add to many proteins – sure! This will cause the hair to become brittle. The brittleness using causes split ends and other associated problems. For most over proteining the hair is not a problem and if you want that super soft and full of like hair then adding a silk protein to your hair makeover or regimen is vital. We don’t suggest using a protein conditioner everyday and as far as proteins go, silk protein makes the hair feel the softest while keratin and wheat protein do the best job of rebuilding the hair. In our Silk Protein conditioner we include all three and it works as a total conditioner to help repair any hair problems but also a super sleek shine that goes extremely well and plays right into the look that Sedu is trying to accomplish! Sedu hair styles are typically very sleek as the hair slides off of the iron.
Some other great hair products that you may want to consider in your hair makeover are those products that work on the root of the hair and Healthy Hair Plus as well Nioxin both work on this with just about every product except the styling products that they manufacture. Products such as Root Food by Healthy Hair Plus and Vitamin shampoo as well as Hair Nutrition vitamins all work on feeding the root the nutrition that it needs to get hair healthy again and for many that is the key to getting rid of frizz. So many people think that hair frizz and split ends are just a hair problem but many times it is a root problem with the root not getting enough nutrition to sustain healthy growth and that will cause the hair to be much more fragile as it grows out of the scalp or medulla of the hair.
And the final hair tip that we can give so that you can get that great look and style is that every hair needs moisture and that moisture starts inside the body with the amount of water that you take in. Products that can help are Emu Shampoo and Emu Conditioner – salon grade of course by Healthy Hair Plus.

Decades of Celebrity Hair Style Trends

January 21st, 2010 Hair Extensions No comments

When it comes to hair, it’s not only how healthy and shiny your hair is that counts, but a big part of your signature “crowning feature” is how you style it.  Hair styles that celebrities have donned over the past century have shaped hair cut trends amongst the general public and will for years to come.  If you thought the power of celebrity was strong forty to fifty years ago, that’s nothing compared to the trend shaping that occurs today from the Hollywood elite.  Just look at what haircuts like the “Rachel” inspired by Jennifer Aniston’s “Friends” character, spawned in terms of salon requests and lookalikes or spinoff haistyles.  I even donned a style that was similar to the Rachel, only longer, as did an army of women.  It was  great, versatile and almost universally flattering cut that a lot of women took advantage of in one way or another.  With the exception of a few of the latest tress-trends, most of them are very versatile, and that is part of the appeal.  You have the longer, layered cuts, and then you have short do’s that appeal to a generally smaller pool, but all in all most of them are versatile.  Same goes for men’s styles.One of the more recent fads is bangs.  Thanks to one adorable actress who sported shorter, but very stylish bangs, Reese Witherspoon, many hairstylists around the US began to experience higher demand for bangs, specifically bangs to copy the look of Ms. Witherspoon.  Reese, another actress with a reputation for being America’s sweetheart, had unknowingly started another craze in the world of hair!When I was in high school, which was almost twenty years ago (I can’t believe I just spoke that aloud!), every girl was trying to copy the look of the supermodels, like Cindy Crawford, who was the biggest supermodel back then.  The look was definitely long and wild, and the bigger you could get your hair, the better.  The really big bangs and perms of the eighties were out, but big, natural, sexy, just got out of bed hair was totally in.  This trend was great for women who had naturally full hair, but it had women who were on the fine and limp side grabbing up volumizing hair products off the shelves to emulate this hot look.  All you had to do was look at any Guess Jeans ad, which was the biggest brand right about then, and you invariably see a model with bedhead, wild hair, and dark, sultry eye makeup.  This big hair look has made a comeback recently, after a long bout with an obsession over stick straight, smooth hair.  Rewind to the nineties, and you’ll find another few years that were influenced by another sweetheart of America, Meg Ryan.  Her cute, curly and full bob was followed up by her signature choppy, short hair do, and women flocked to the stylist to get both.  Not only was she the queen of the romantic comedy, but she was also one of the major trendsetters of the nineties.  More recently, we’ve seen a lot of copycats of the Victoria Beckham style, which she sported for a while, her signature hairstyle which was a very simple, straight cut that was chin length, but cut higher in the back.  This was one of the more universally flattering cuts that wasn’t actually long, but not quite short either.  Not as many women followed her into her pixie cut phase, but that’s probably because not so many women can pull off such a cut since it can come off as severe and not very feminine.  I have to admit, this was not my favorite on Posh, but she has since started to grow it out a bit from pictures I’ve seen, and it’s much more soft looking on her.  And what of the men?  Well, male haircuts don’t seem to change or evolve in trends as often as female haircuts do.  These days, as I write this in August of 2009, the “in” thing is to have messy, longer hair for men.  Think Patrick Dempsey or Benicio Del Toro.  Out are the buzz cuts and close cropped haircuts of yesteryear, and in are the low maintenance, but product consuming hair styles that make women want to run their fingers through men’s hair.  Longer hair on men has garnered a certain sense of sex appeal, and men are no dummies in picking up on that, lots of them are taking the cue and growing their hair out for a more natural, individual look rather than a cookie cutter buzzed hair cut.  Scissors only for men these days, no clippers!

Hair Style For Fine Hair

January 21st, 2010 Hair Extensions No comments

If you have fine or thinning hair you might feel it is difficult to find a hair style that suits you. A trip to a barber or hairdresser can be a source of distress. It is important that you can discuss your fine or thinning hair and the style you want with the person cutting it and not feel any embarrassment or distress.
For men, the most sensible and easiest style is a short, clean cut. One of the worst mistakes a guy can make with thinning or fine hair is to grow it long, spike it or jell it. These accentuate the thinning hair and draw attention to it, and under no circumstances attempt the dreaded ‘comb over’ by growing your hair at the sides and the back long and combing over the fine or receding areas. This will almost definitely bring unwanted attention and highlight what you are trying to conceal.
Dyeing the hair lighter will nearly always help by reducing level of contrast between the hair and scalp. Of course, if you have a darker scalp then a darker color would be better.
There are also a vast range of thickening shampoos and conditioners that add volume to the hair and are less likely to break and damage the already weakened follicle. It is also advisable not to let fine or thinning hair get too greasy.
For women, chin length cuts are recommended by most stylists. Again, attention and emphasis will be on the features, face and neck, rather than the hair. As is similar for men, hair that is too long will make the hair appear weaker and thinner than it actually is. Curling irons and straighteners should be avoided as they can seriously damage hair.
A short ‘bobb’ type cut with the hair brushed behind the ears is of the trendiest current looks and can do wonders to add volume to hair, especially if the hair is layered correctly at the back. Extensions are an absolute no-no and will add stress to an already weakened hair follicle. As distressing as fine and thinning hair can be there are different styles that can benefit you.
There is no need to allow something like thinning hair to take over your life and make you self conscious wherever you go. So long as you do not make the common mistakes that people with thinning hair make then you will be fine, the thing is people do not know that a lot of the “fixes” actually just makes things that much worse, the companies that offer you curling irons or straighteners and the vast array of other things that are bad for your hair do not care about your hair in the long run, so long as you will buy their product and get a false sense of security from it they are satisfied, but it does not have to be this way which is why I am trying to help you make informed decisions that can offer solutions while not compromising your hair.

January 21st, 2010 Hair Extensions No comments

Face shape is the deciding factor to choose a new hairstyle. People often follow the latest hairstyle without thinking whether that would look good or not.

To find out the shape of your face, do the following measurement: 1.Measure your face with tape of ruler.2.Measure your face across your jaw line and then across the top of your cheekbones. The measurement should extend from one edge to the exact point on the other side. 3.Measure across your forehead at the widest point. The widest point is about halfway between the eyebrows and the hairline. 4.Measure from the tip of your face line to the bottom of your chin.5.Record the measurementResult: You have a Round Face if it is as wide as it is long. This may vary a little but generally the measurement is close.The haircut of the round faces should be to minimize the roundness of the face and increases the appearance of length. The hairstyle should compliment the appearance and basic geometry of the individual. Read through our hair styles for round faces:1.Long hair is better than short hair on round faces. Length elongates the face.2.Layering in long hair makes face look longer.3.Opt for short hairstyles that add length to your face, or those with the sides cut short or close to the face.4.Layered bangs give the illusion of length to the face.5.Long, side-sweeping bangs are universally flattering, but work especially well on women with round faces.6.Curl around the crown is also good. Keep it away they should be kept away from the cheeks.7.A bob cut above the chin looks nice for women with double chins. 8.Cropped hair is the best to make a short neck appear longer.9.Gentle waves deflect the roundness of the face. 10.Wispy ends are flattering to a round face than blunt cut. One-length ends, widens the face.11.Full side-swept bangs, hair worn below the jaw and one lightly flipped look good. 12.Wavy hair can mask roundness.13.Sleek, graduated layers from the lips down remove bulk and weight from the sides.14.Wispy, tapered ends de-emphasize roundness.

New Hair Cuts For Women – Hair Styles For The Modern Woman

January 19th, 2010 Hair Extensions No comments

Hair cuts for women no matter your age, whoever, you are and whatever your lifestyle, there will at all times be moments when your feelings turn to the status of your hair. Well aren’t there?Now let’s stare in that mirror! You know what hair is, you’re conscious it doesn’t always behave itself, but you’re no longer anxious of it. Hair is meant to be our highest glory after all, so let’s come to grips with it and make certain we can make it live up to that depiction.The opening word of advice is don’t cheat. Are you sure that’s a vigorous sheen you’re looking at, or is it a outside layer of unwanted fat? Are you in fact blonde, or in fact, a slight shade of mouse? Is that last year’s perm or today’s “in” look? And, without being ruthless, should that dark re-growth really be there?The more callous you can be with yourself the better. Look at what you have, considerably than at what you imagine you have. If your hair is fine, wispy or thin, admit it. There are lots of ways of giving it more depth or body. Just as, if you are fixed with thick, wiry hair, with a spirit of its own, don’t give up hope. Help is at hand on how to recognize and manage with your hair type.When you’ve recognized the sort of hair you have and the kind of environmental surroundings it is probable to be subjected to, then you are half way there. If you come to a decision to make some changes, take into account your lifestyle and all the occasions you could be called upon to be in.Consider out how much time and money you can manage to pay for to spend on your hair. Recognise your limits, and if you are sluggish or simply cannot afford too much time for your hair, your style should be one which will cause the least amount work and worry.Look at the profile of your face and think about whether the new haircut you’d like will make you look younger or older. In conclusion examine the whole of you – figure, height, colouring, clothes and make-up – and modify your look to suit you from what is presently fashionable.If this sounds like a lot to think about, don’t hurl a super de luxe tantrum, and no matter what you do, don’t scratch your hair out! None of us look picture perfect; not even the top models in Vogue or our favourite screen idols.Some of the styles we see in photographs and crave to reproduce would be very difficult to sustain – day in day out – unless of course you had a hairdresser at your elbow all set to dance constant attendance …If you do see a photo of a haircut that appeals to you, your hairdresser will notify you as to whether or not it would be realistic to duplicate it. But don’t look ahead to an identical result. Follow the sentiment and mood of the hair cut rather than the style itself and in the end you’ll maybe be happier, and look even better, than the model in the photograph.

Shiny, Glossy Hair Could Be Yours

December 17th, 2009 Hair Extensions No comments

Hair that is glossy and shiny always looks great. Shiny hair is generally associated with healthy hair, so if you hair is a in a good condition and your health is in check, you could add a few finishing touches for a glossier mane.

If you follow an unhealthy lifestyle of smoking, drinking and eating junk food, chances are the signs are showing up in your hair. Make an effort to follow a healthy lifestyle and your hair (and skin and nails for that matter) will look in better condition, naturally.

Dull hair can also be caused by the food you are eating. Avoid anything in a box, as that kind of food is often processed and very bad for your skin and hair. Try to include more fresh fruit and vegetables in your daily diet. Avoid fizzy drinks, excess coffee and caffeine. Avoid deep fried food and rather opt to bake or grill your dishes. And remember to drink at least eight glasses of water a day.

If you color your hair, remember that the hair dying process strips the hair, which often results in dull hair. Boost your colored hair’s shine by using products that have been specially formulated to treat and protect color-treated hair.

Avoid washing your hair every day as you will dry your hair out, therefore making it look dull and dreary. If you hair is very greasy and needs daily washing, speak to your hairdresser about a product that can help combat oiliness, or again, look to your nutrition as this could be the cause of your greasy hair.

Condition your hair when you wash and treat it to an intense, repairing masque at least once a week. When applying conditioner, never apply to the roots as this will only make your hair more greasy.

Flat iron your hair after it has dried and ensure you are using heat resistant protectants before you iron. Keeping the hair cuticles flat will help to reflect the light, making your hair appear sleeker and shinier.

Lastly, you can apply a small amount of hair silicone to your hair after you have styled it. Place a small amount in the palm of your hand and rub your palms together. Then, work the product through your hair using your fingers. Remember to avoid the roots.

How to Protect Your Hair From Heat Styling?

December 4th, 2009 Hair Extensions No comments

The problem is that heat styling isn’t exactly safe, if done improperly it can cause some pretty serious damage. However, if you’re willing to read on you’ll find ways to protect your hair from heat styling. Now you can have the hair you want and you won’t have to pay for it in split ends!

Every time that you style your hair you damage it. Even brushing damages your hair. To protect your hair from styling damage you need to start by fortifying your hair with the right shampoo and conditioners. High quality salons offer a great line of shampoos and conditioners that you can use to improve the strength and condition of your hair. You can also take a multi-vitamin that is designed to provide your body with the nutrition that it needs to grow strong healthy hair.

Blow drying is bad

Blow drying causes a “flash drying” effect that not only removes the surface moisture but also removes water that is bound to the hair, which is called water of hydration. The effect of this flash drying is that the cuticles become dried, rigid and brittle. When the hair flexes, the pressure causes the cuticles to crack. One study (see Reference 1 below) showed cracks occurring not only on the surface layer of cuticles, but actually two and three cuticle layers deep. Combing hair with this degree of cuticle cracking causes significant breakage.

Your hair needs moisture

Pamper your hairs with moisturizer, just like you treat the rest of your body. to your surprise even oily hairs needs moisture but in a balanced way. Give your hairs a hot oil treatment at home once a week or at least once a month will keep your hair glossy and prevent dry, split ends, do not forget to use a good conditioner on regular basis according to your skin type and requirement.

Go to a professional. For an occasion as important as a destination wedding, honeymoon, or major vacation, make an appointment with a hair professional. If you regularly manage color and styling on your own, a professional can correct mistakes, bring you up to speed on a current, flattering style for your face, and suggest the right treatment products.

Water Runs Dry “Towel drying can tear your hair.

Remember, it`s not just the shampooing itself that`s bad for you hair. It`s what you do after you get out of the shower. Towel drying roughs up the cuticle. Blot your hair dry instead of scrubbing it dry. Or use one of those special super-absorbent towels.

Avoiding heat and sun

Blow dryers and styling appliances can always damage your hairs so try and make it possible to use a natural way for hair drying. get your hair styling done in a professional manner to minimize the styling experiment you often do with your hairs. and don’t forget to keep your hairs covered whenever you are out in sun.

But for complete protection, investing in a heat protection product is necessary – particularly for chemically treated hair, which is already damaged and easily susceptible to further damage. In general, such products work by coating the strands of your hair with a protective film, so the heat of your blow dryer or other heating implements won’t burn or dry out the hair shaft.
