Good Hair Days!

Finally!!  After 3 years on the ‘Net and several months re-development, Great-Hairstyles.com version 2 is up and running!!

We built the old site with very few web development skills and an old copy of Frontpage.  Although we got qute a lot of compliments about Great-hairstyles.com, the site was definitely beginning to look a little tired and amateurish.  This time we decided to hand the work over to someone who actually knows what they’re doing (!) and The new site has a completely different (and much more professional) look and feel, with lots more hairstyle photos/images. 

We’re still hard at work upgrading the site - one of the new features will be a big database of hairstyle photos.  Hopefully that will be launched by the end of 2008, followed by a video gallery of hairstyle videos in early 2009.  Hopefully we’re also gonna be adding one or two web 2.0 features to make things a little more ineractive as well.

Take a look around the site and let us know what you think. And if you have any suggestions about stuff you would like included in the site, let us know by posting a comment in this blog! 

Thanks for the support!

Why a checklist of hair tips on washing and shampooing hair? Surely it’s something most people do regularly without thinking. That may be so, but negligence or ignorance in this area of hair care can actually do damage.
Make sure you observe these guidelines when choosing and using a hair shampoo:

Hair Tip #1
Shampoo your hair regularly to keep the hair clean and the scalp healthy. Depending on the environment in which you live and work, even washing your hair once a day will not damage the hair as long as you use good quality mild shampoo that does not strip all of the sebum from the hair. (Sebum is the natural oil produced in the hair follicle which contains a natural antiseptic and protects the scalp from infection.)

Nutrition Tips for Healthy Hair: Top Nutritional Tips To Support Healthy Hair Growth
By Richard Mitchell
1. Eat adequate amounts of protein.
Protein is composed of the amino acids essential for the building of new cells, including hair. Five amino acids are of particular relevance to hair growth - cystine, cysteine, methionine, arginine and lysine.

Inadequate protein intake over a lengthy period can force hair into the resting phase with shedding a few months later. It is obvious then that sufficient portions of protein rich foods should form part of your daily diet. The best sources of dietary protein are lean meats, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, soy, nuts, grains and seeds. At least 15% of your daily calories should come from protein-rich foods.

Frizzy, Brittle Hair

90% of us suffer with dry brittle or frizzy hair because our hair is deficient of (moisture) WATER! There is a certain preconceived notion that has been passed on from generation to generation. That is the idea that our hair is dry, because we are lacking in natural oils. We are told that if we nurture our hair by brushing vigorously 100 times a day, with an all-natural bristle brush, or if we pamper our hair with hot oil treatments or smother out hair with cholesterols. If we do all of these things, then we are sure to be blessed with beautiful, shiny and healthy locks. This might be the case, if you have young virgin hair.

There are a few things you can do on a regular basis that will improve the overall health and appearance of your hair, as well as a few things you can avoid. In general, here’s a few standards:

Brush your hair:

Yep, the good old fashioned hundred strokes. This stimulates blood supply to the scalp, removes dead skin cells from the scalp before they can get infected, and distributes sebum over the hair shaft for moisturizing and protection. Bend over from the waist and hang limply while doing some of the brushing. Use a natural bristle brush or other gentle brush. Be careful and don’t hurry. Better to go slow and only get 30 strokes in, than go fast and risk breaking or pulling out your hair. Get into the habit of brushing your hair thoroughly before washing it.
