Create The Hair Of
Your Dreams
Author: Jonathon Hardcastle
One of the most important appearance elements of our image is our
hair. Surrounding our face, hair grow from short to long and need our
constant attention in order to help us look out best. Whether you are a
man or a woman, the health of your hair has been drawn other people's
attention and has made you feel proud of your overall looks; at least
from time to time.
But, with a million of different hairstyles out there, people always
end up confused at their hairstylist' s chair, looking stressed on the
next feature they will add to their hairstyle. Short, curly, long, wavy,
frizzy, layered, or braided, hairstyles can alter our mood and our
confidence levels. This
part of our looks can become as distinctive as we want and represent our
mood, our views, or the way we think for ourselves.
Believe it or not, a hairstyle can
help to accentuate or draw away attention from certain facial
characteristics. Depending on our face's bone structure, the right type
of haircut can illustrate our best features and help us feel confident
with our looks. For example, when a face is too round hairstylists will
probably advice the customer to put a side part in the hair in order to
lengthen the image of the face. For thin faces, curls or fullness at the
sides will create the necessary
illusion. If a nose is proportionately larger than the rest of the
face's characteristics, a full hairstyle or upswept crown will make the
nose less noticeable. If the problem is that of a high forehead, a
horizontal line of full bangs can cover the "extra" forehead and thus
balancing the face.
But apart from having the proper hairstyle, it is essential to take good
care of the hair so as to continue enjoying their glow and improve their
texture. Smoke, air-conditioning, heaters, extra moisture, or dry
climates, can all damage the way hair behaves and reduce their overall
quality. Thus, maintaining a healthy-looking hairstyle is important and
not that difficult after all. One needs only to know what to do and it
is easy to create the hairstyle of his or her dreams.
First of all, look for essential oils, herbs and vegetable oils in your
hair care products. Essential oils such as rosemary, ylang-ylang and
West Indian bay stimulate hair growth. Lavender and tea tree and
naturally antiseptic and help to fight dandruff. Vegetable oils such as
soybean oil, safflower oil and corn oil are moisturizing and
conditioning. Try to avoid shampoos that contain sodium laurel sulfate,
or sodium laureth sulfate, as these chemicals are synthetic detergents
that are used in dishwashing liquid and other cleansers. They are valued
because they lather well, but they are very harsh and can dry out your
hair. Shampoos with decyl glucose, or decyl glucoside, are much gentler
to your hair and scalp. From time to time, give yourself a warm oil
treatment to deep condition your hair.
The heated oil penetrates the hair shaft making it more flexible and
adding shine; this technique can also help dry and long hair from
developing spit ends. Remember to eat right and receive all the
necessary vitamins and minerals that will help your hair grow and be
conditioned. Vitamin E, B and C are essential for good quality hair.
Furthermore, those with extra curly hair have to avoid brushing them. A
wide toothed comb or your own fingers can do the work. In addition,
avoid sleeping
while wearing your hair accessories, as this can lead to hair damage.
While shampooing your hair, remember to massage your scalp, as this
increases the blood circulation in the area and
helps hair grow faster. Finally, every six to eight weeks remember to
give your hair a trim and get rid of those ugly looking damaged ends.
