Hair Tips
GREASY HAIR
Try to avoid daily
washing. The sebaceous glands are overstimulated, secreting more grease onto the
hair. This creates a vicious circle
where the more you wash is the greasier it becomes.
Another problem with
regular washing is that although the roots are greasy the rest of your hair is stripped
of oil and the ends become dry and brittle. Use a mild ph-balanced shampoo and wash
hair without rubbing the scalp too much. Only apply conditioner to the mid and ends
rather than at the roots.
Watch your diet.
Oily and fatty foods can contribute to greasy skin and scalp. Best of all is
to use those days when you're at home to give your hair a rest from daily washing.
Try using a children's shampoo as these are often mild enough for greasy hair.
DRY HAIR
Dry, coarse and brittle
hair needs to be nourished from within; a conditioner that just rinses out won't
do the job. Use an intensive moisturising shampoo which will cleanse without excessive
rubbing (which will damage the hair more) and follow with a hot oil conditioner.
Heat opens up the hair cuticles allowing the moisturiser to penetrate the hair shaft
giving it suppleness, bounce and movement. Mousse on dry hair
will make it look dull, use a blow drying or thickening lotion instead.
FRIZZY HAIR
Keep your hair well
conditioned with a rich moisturising product. The hairstyle is also important. If
your hair is very frizzy you don't want too many layers. Have a few longish ones
that will allow your hair to flow. Always use a diffuser when blowdrying which will
help control the frizz but will not remove all the body.
GREY HAIR
If you only have
a little grey a semi-permanent colour wash (stays for six to eight washes) will
cover it. For more than 30 per cent grey then a quasi colour covers grey whilst
keeping a natural look. When you go grey in patches, a permanent tint or a foil
and tone technique - where highlights are woven around the top and crown and a semi-permanent
colour is put through the rest of the hair - is the only way to cover up. This creates
warmth and depth throughout the hair.
HAIR LOSS
New mums often find
their hair thins quite a lot, particularly around the crown area, after the birth.
This is quite normal and don't worry about it. Stress can cause hair loss as well.
Eventually your hair will return to normal. Meanwhile you can follow the tips for
thin hair.
HAIR BODY
It is essential you
have a good cut, just below jaw length is recommended with a few layers using clever
graduation. Colour enhancing can also help to create the illusion of body and blow-drying
technique is very important. Start from the crown and take long sweeping sections.
Use a wide-toothed vent brush parallel to the hair line an lift the hair up and
towards the crown putting a slight crease at the root so you put the lift in at
the roots before styling the rest. Use a few large Velcro rollers around the crown
when the hair is still warm from blow-drying; this can give added lift. Put them
in, spray with hairspray and then dry for five minutes with a hairdryer
before allowing them to cool down properly.
SPLIT ENDS
Once your hair has
split the damage is done and will require cutting so protect it by keeping it supple
and moisturised. Use a leave-in conditioner.
Blow drying the hair
can damage it so always use a nozzell on your hairdryer concentrating on the hair
shaft. If the damage has already been done a serum applied to split ends will help
disguise them and can help protect the hair when applying direct heat such as from
curling tongs or heated rollers. The only real solution is to cut the offending
ends off.
FINDING A STYLE
Taking a picture
with you is good if you have an idea of a style, or you could ask the stylist to
suggest something. Give as much information about yourself as possible, such as
how much time you have to spend on you hair and what you think the limits of your
styling abilities are. Generally if you have a long narrow face then a style with
width does the trick. If it's round then a soft textured style should suite.
THIN HAIR
Thin hair can easily
be disguised by a really good cut. The natural look is back in fashion so go for
a style that suits your hair type as well as your face shape rather than trying
to get your hair to do something which doesn't come naturally.
Choose a style that
is not too long and shaped into the nape of the neck. There are a variety of products
that can also help. Thickening shampoos work well and also make the hair more controllable.
A semi-permanent vegetable wash-in colour can also give a feeling of thickness.
Careful drying with a blow dry lotion can also help control flyaway static hair.
