Perfect Hair Day: Everyday!
Author: Camry James

Have you ever had one of those “perfect hair days” where your hair looks fabulous just before you’re about to hop in the shower? Knowing full well that you’d be generously lucky for your hair to look half as nice, you grab that quick shower, even though you just washed your hair this morning/last night.

De-Frizz Your Blondes!
 
Ok blondes, we all know you love to soak up that sun but so does your hair. Natural sun and heat damages your hair vaporizing all the moisture needed for your hair to look healthy and shiny. Texture doesn’t really matter nor does the shade of blonde, as they all are more prone to damage in the sun. Frizz is common in the summer and with good conditioner and frizz control you can look like any celebrity.
 
Try Frizz-ease or Split Ends by BC Bonicure to control frizz after or before your blow dry. For added protection apply a blow dry sealer before you start to blow dry your hair. It will protect your blonde hair from heat and this is for high damage control. There are also newer sprays and conditioners
specifically formulated with SUV protectants helping your hair from damage. For a great feel try Back to Basics - Kiwi Melon Body Boosting Conditioner.
 

Knowing About Hair Elasticity
 
This is one of the most important properties of hair. Because of its elasticity, hair can resist forces that could change its shape, its volume or its length. Its elasticity lets it spring back to its original form without damage.
 
When healthy hair is wetted and stretched, it can increase in length by up to 30% and still return to its original length when it is dried. Stretching it more than this will tend to damage it, however, leading to permanent lengthening and even breaking.
 
The elasticity of hair depends on the long keratin fibres in the cortex. Chemical treatments of hair such as perming and bleaching can alter the cortex after repeated damage, and change the hair's elasticity. Hair with poor elasticity will stretch only to a limited extent. It will not curl, it will break easily when it is groomed and it cannot be permed satisfactorily.
 
Hair Diameter and Hair Care
 
The diameter of the hair shaft varies too. It is usually around 57-90 µm in Europeans. This is much less than in Asians, in whom it can be 120 µm. (These are general figures, representing a wide range of values.) Hair that is both dense and thick looks completely different from that of someone who has fewer and finer hairs.
