Tips on Static Hair from Stars

Nicole Kidman to give her hair volume uses special large hair curlers in diameter not less than 10 sm, and that ringlets keep the form longer. Before removing hair curlers she slightly spots curls with a hairspray of an average fixing.

Sharliz Teron does not do her hairdress on just washed up hair: the hair will slide and be scattered, it can hardly be combed in a desired way, and the hairdress will quickly get out of the shape.

Liv Tyler puts mousse for styling only the tips of hair, thanks to it the hair does not stick together and all the day the hairdress of the actress holds its volume.

Lemon Hairspray

Excellent means for hairdress fixing is a lemon hairspray. To prepare it you should do the following: cut slices of lemon and boil in a water glass until the liquid volume doubles itself. Filter, add some drops of spirit or vodka.

Nourishing with an "Autumn" Mixture

When autumn comes many of us experience lack of vitamins, sun light, etc. and this affects our hair. The problem can be liquidated by washing hair with shampoo plus a nourishing "autumn" mixture. To 1-2 spoons of shampoo (depending on the hair length) add an egg and 1 spoon of gelatin. Shake the mixture thoroughly, rub in a head skin and distribute on hair. Egg and gelatin contain a lot of protein and hair, having received such strengthened food, becomes silky, shining and beautiful.

Chloric Water

If you visit a swimming pool, it's very important that you wear a special swimming cap. The chlorinated water of the pool makes your hair dry and weak. If suddenly you are in a pool without a swimming cap, right after swimming wash up your hair with fresh water and it's necessarily to use a hair balsam on a grassy basis.

2. Don't vigorously rub braids or weaves but do rinse in cascades of water to clean.
3. Do wash more frequently if you have itching, flaking or dandruff. These conditions are not due to dryness.
4. Do thoroughly rinse out conditioner, or the residue will dirty your hair faster.
5. Don't wash hair more often than you need to. Contrary to advertising, hair types with a dry tendency (for example gray or African-American hair) may need washing only once a week.
6. Don't use the hottest setting on the hair dryer; use it over time, it's damaging.
7. Do allow hair sometimes to air-dry, then arrange it with your fingers. Use gels, mousses and lotions to calm it.
8. Don't brush wet hair. Use a wide-tooth comb, starting at the bottom, to ease out tangles.

Static Hair - Get Rid Of It

With very long hair, electrostatic can be a real burden. Your hair either sticks to everything, or really flees your head - creating those awful fly-aways. What do to? Well, there are several ways to help you.

Static can be very strong in wintertime. The reason for it is the dry air - with temperatures below freezing point, the air inside our homes gets very dry due to the heating. Get yourself one of those humidifiers, several models are available in the price range from like USD 25 up to quite some more bucks. They evaporate normal drain water, either by cooking small amounts of water, or by ultrasonic vapor mechanisms. There is no difference in the effect, except the ultrasonic types produce kind of a cold fog, and the cooking devices produce steam (careful here, don't touch the outcoming steam).

By using a humidifier, you get the air in your home back to normal humidity levels, and you will find that with increased humidity, the static will be reduced. For those of you with curly hair, your curls will get stronger with higher humidity.

If your hair is charged with static, brushing your hair is a nightmare. Static does more damage than anything, even with "static free" brushes. A solution is to rub a dryer softener sheet over the brush, and even down the wake of the hair, before brushing. It does wonders and cuts down of tangles!

Last tip: if you still have trouble with static, investigate on your hair care products. Some shampoos wash your hair so squeak clean, that all natural oils disappear - they protect your hair shaft, and prevent static, too. If you do not wish to change your products, use jojoba oil after washing to add the natural amount of oil to your hair.

If you can't seem to get rid of static, have a look at your wardrobe. Chemical fibers are apt to cause static - most important are viscose and polyester. Switching to natural (and electrically neutral) fibers like cotton, silk or wool also helps a lot in getting rid of static.

Ten Best Tips to Liven Up Long Hair

Reverse dry hair

Use natural ingredients for a deep-conditioning treatment.

Problem: Daily heat styling, constant chemical processing, over-shampooing, and frequent exposure to the sun and wind can dry out long hair.

Solution: A natural conditioner can offer an alternative cure for repairing dry hair. Simmer together one cup of milk, one cup of water, and dried rose petals. Allow mixture to cool and pour into a blender. Add a ripe avocado and two teaspoons each of honey and almond paste or almond oil (without alcohol). Blend ingredients together. Massage "conditioner" into locks section by section, wrap hair in plastic, and rinse after 30 minutes.

Long-term solution: Keep blow-drying to a minimum, avoid overlapping chemical treatments, skip a shampoo day, and protect hair from the sun with a hat.

Age and gray hair

Gray hair represents the loss of pigmentation. It's wiry because it's sheathed in more cuticle than most hair. How good you look with gray hair is determined by its texture vis-a-vis the rest of your hair, plus how it goes with the tone of your skin and eyes. Graying hair is the start of a natural lightening process to which you should adapt the colors of your clothes and makeup. If you opt to go gray, sample a "blue" shampoo to inhibit yellowing. Try leave-in conditioners and moisturizers to soften coarseness. Consider having a professional add "lowlights" (streaking of your original color) to give shading to gray areas. Observe the pattern of graying (some heads gray all over, some acquire streaks, some gray grows in to frame the face) and have your stylist shape it to celebrate it. If you opt to color your hair, pick a tone one shade or two lighter than your original color. Going too light or too dark will make you look older. To test the look, try a semi-permanent solution that lasts 6 to 12 shampoos before going for lasting color.

Fighting flyaway

When the air is dry or there's low humidity, hair loses water to the surrounding air and dries out. Dry hair builds up negative electricity (hair is predominantly negatively charged to begin with) and all those negative charges repel neighboring hairs, resulting in flyaway. Fine hair tends to get flyaway more than super thick locks because if individual hairs repel one another it's more obvious to the eye when hair is sparse. Sparse hair also dries out more quickly.

Most flyaway problems occur in the winter when their own static electricity. The simplest way to eliminate flyaway is to add water back and avoid products that tend to dry out hair.

DO shampoo your hair with a moisturizing or conditioning shampoo.
DO use a cream rinse after shampooing. Cream rinses reduce static electricity and flyaway because they keep hair from getting too dry.
DON'T overuse heat styling appliances. Using a blow-dryer everyday on a hot setting and then wrapping your hair in hot rollers will only dam-flyaway. Avoid heat damage by using a warm set ting on your blow-dryer, hold it away from your head as you dry hair, and keep the blow-dryer moving.
DON'T apply heavy gels to hair. Even though gels can weigh hair down, too much can have a dry
DO use a humectant (water attracting) styling product.
DON'T use styling sprays with alcohol. There are many products available that are alcohol-free.
DO use natural bristle brushes - they reduce fly away. Plastic bristles create more negative charges.
DON'T overuse hairspray. The old trick of spraying your hair or your brush with hairspray to tame static doesn't provide a quick fix, it just dries out hair
DO use a humidifier in your home.
DO mist hair with water. Carry a travel-size spray bottle with you or keep one in your desk to combat dry office air.

Hair Etiquette For Men. Dealing with Floor Length Hair

If it's winter, and you're helping her put on a coat, you might help her by lifting her hair up gently, before she puts the coat on. Another way would be to gently wind her hair around her neck loosely like a scarf, and she puts her coat on over that. You don't want her to get her long hair caught under her coat, or have to sit on it.

If you are helping her into a car, you might help by gently picking her hair up and bringing it around to her front, so she can keep control of it. You don't want to shut her hair in the car door.

Be careful in crowds, because people will come right up and start touching her hair; if one of these people has a cigarette in their hand and they aren't paying attention ... you know what might happen. So you have to be more attentive when you are in a crowd.

If you are walking down stairs together, if her hair is kneel length or longer, you might want to walk behind her, as her hair might drag on the steps behind her, and someone might come up and inadvertently step on it... and that would be painful.

If you go dancing, you should put your arm under hair, not over it.

If you are buying any clothing for them, you might want to consider getting something that will enable her to wear her hair down... fabrics like rayon, satin, silks, anything that allows her hair to slide on the fabric and not catch. It will keep it from tangling when it is down, and is much more comfortable, and you will like the way it flows and swirls more easily against this kind of fabric.

The same goes for nightwear. It's best if she wears something like this if you plan on combing/brushing her hair... I'm really on a roll, and I'm going to tell you how to do this, as well.

First, you have to be very careful, women are very protective of their hair, the longer it is, the more careful they have to be.

If the hair is longer than mid-back, I would suggest you use a wide toothed comb instead of a hairbrush. Otherwise you might tangle it.

You could have her sitting in a chair without a back, and you could stand or kneel behind her to brush or comb it. Yo should put one hand on the top of her head to steady her head as you gently pull the comb through. You might use short strokes, not going all the way through to her nape at first. It will be easier to straighten her hair that way, Or you might even have her comb her hair out first.

Another way would be for her to bend her head forward and you comb or brush her hair starting at the nape and going forward from there. It pulls less on the scalp, and you're not combing the more tender areas of the temple.

Another way , if her hair wasn't too long, would be for her to be standing or sitting in a chair facing you, and you let her rest her forehead on your chest, and you can comb her hair that way. That might be the best.

If you decide to carry her off into the sunset, you should first bring her hair over her shoulder to her front, before you pick her up. Anything that causes her hair to get "caught" will really make her anxious.

Bed linens should be satin if she is wearing her hair down.

If she sees you treating her hair reverently, she will like you all the more, as she considers her hair a part of herself and you are honoring her when you do these things.

Ten Best Tips to Liven Up Long Hair

If you're worried about dull, frazzled over the frizzies, lifeless-looking locks, or frustrated about how to get your hair in shape, then you're not alone. These concerns share many women, who wear shoulder-length or longer hair.

Unless you were born perfectly beautiful, great looking hair doesn't just happen. Getting it into shiny and healthy condition takes a commitment to continuing care. More over, professional cutting or trimming every two months to remove split ends and promote natural bounce, giving long hair special attention at home each day will help in making it the best it can possibly be. Even if you 've neglected your hair in the past, it's never too late to get to the root of the problems that are associated with it.

One reason long hair requires extra care is because it becomes more fragile with age. The most widely-cited problems are oil at the scalp, hair that tangles when wet, dry split ends (the number one problem), loss of healthy sheen, and hair that won't stay where you want it to.

To achieve today's beautiful longer-hair look, beauty experts recommend that you let these tips go straight to your head:

• FINGER RAKING - Upon waking, run fingers through hair to remove snarls and tangles.
• BRUSHING - Bend forward allowing hair to fall. Use a large oval brush to bring hair from the nape of the neck over the head and down to the ends. Then, stand straight again with hair falling normally and brush from the underside of the hairline down the strands to the ends. Now, brush the top layers into place with long, even strokes. After each stroke, smooth hair with hands to reduce static. Increase the number of strokes daily until you find a comfortable routine. (Note: because wet hair is the weakest, brush hair only when dry. Don't brush or comb hair against the grain of the growth pattern, an action that can injure hair.)
• COMBING - Separate hair into small sections. With a wide-tooth comb, carefully work from the ends in a downward direction only. Never pull or yank hair.
• DRYING HAIR - Air dry hair whenever possible. If blow drying is necessary, blow in downward strokes only on cool setting.
• CURLING - Use regular hair rollers, winding hair loosely around them. Avoid electric rollers, hot combs and curling irons or use on cool setting.
• SHAMPOOING - Choose shampoos containing only natural ingredients with conditioning properties. First, remove surface dirt through gentle sudsing. Rinse and lather again, massaging your head to increase the blood supply to the scalp and roots.
• DETANGLING - Work a detangler into well-rinsed hair. Flush with tepid, then cold water, until hair clean. Twist gently and wrap hair in a towel for a few minutes. Unwrap hair and let it fall naturally into place. To protect ends, use a pomade to keep ends from frizzing and splitting.
• CHEMICALS - Seek professional advice about coloring or perming hair.
• ENVIRONMENT - Protect hair from over-exposure to sun, salt or chlorinated water, wind and pollution. Wear a hat, cap or scarf if you can. Seek out hair products with sunscreens.
• UP, UP & AWAY - To keep cool and look stylish, sweep hair upward. Use natural materials (i.e., tortoise shell combs, clips and fasteners) instead of rubber bands, plastic and metal which snag and pull hair. Try to avoid all products containing alcohol as it dries hair.

Whether you are young or old, male or female, your hair is a reflection of who you are. Healthy hair is not just about looking good - it also can make you feel good.

Hair Care. General Info

One day your hair looks great, and the next you see it is a total disaster. This may be because you experience what is known as the bad hair day. Don't give up, you're not alone. Many women say that they have bad hair days several times a month. It's the euphemism for anytime something goes wrong and this is a true tribute to see how much hair matters to most of us. According to national studies women feel more confident when their hair looks good; more than half the women surveyed say that if their hair doesn't look right, than it affects their mood for the rest of the day.

Can anything be done to improve our hair? The professionals agree:
there is much that can be done, but how much control we have over our hair depends on several factors. Heredity is a key element here. All of us are born with a set count of hair follicles, and to regret, there's nothing we can do to change that count. The diameter of each strand (in other words, texture), the amount of wave, and the hair color are predetermined as well. Also specific changes that are genetically arranged must be counted - you produce more pigment as you get older. Pigment creation slows down during midlife and increases during adolescence. Hormonal changes can also change hair, making it thicker, denser or curlier. Genetics isn't the only thing that changes your hair- the environment can product an affect to it too. Sunlight, weather, and water minerals can add to your hair troubles.

Add to this the fact that most of us want to change what nature gave us. We attempt to make our hair into something it's not: If our hair is super curly, we can't wait to get it straight; if it's straight, all we crave is curl. Never mind what type of hair we have, we all want most what we don't have. We color, perm, relax, blow-dry, curl, brush, style, and spray our hair to try to get it the way we want it. Chemical treatments, constant heat styling, rough styling methods, and product buildup can take their toll on hair, making it dry and weak over time.

Hair care is usually annoying. When you comb your hair, you get stuck with knots. When you wash it, is doesn't feel good. It looks unhealthy. Just "bad hair days".

Take some time for your hair. Especially because it is long. Use some time during the weekend for your hair, and relax. Don't believe that wonderful hair can be achieved by any product within a few hours. It usually takes a couple of weeks before you really can see a difference.

It is important that you take time for hair care - men will certainly adore your look when your hair is in best shape, and you will enjoy the wonderful tresses yourself!
The hair care section provides you with information on how to care for long hair. It will be helpful for you ladies out there (or for you gentlemen, if you have long haired partners) to obtain nice hair. The base for all this is however that you have the type of hair that is suitable for being long. Not every women can wear her hair very long - many women with short hair should wear their hair long, but there are also many women who should get a hair cut soon, as they are really not the type for long hair.
If you wish for long hair, or just like to try it, I suggest to do so. It is hard to say which hair is good to be worn long, many factors play together to let a lady with long hair appear most pleasant. If you treat your hair well, there is however a high chance that it will suit you. Be encouraged!
