HOW
TO AVOID BAD HAIR DAYS
They say that
a woman’s hair is her crowning glory. Even so, all women
have those days when we wish we could cover every unwieldy
strand!
69.
Get a good hair
cut! It all begins right here. Without a good hair cut nothing
else you do will give you the results you want.
70.
In order to have
a good hair cut, you need a great hair stylist and when you
find one, keep him/her! Jumping around from stylist to stylist
can be hazardous to your hair. The old adage about “getting
what you pay for” is very true when it comes to something
as important as your stylist. Yes, it’s possible to find
a good stylist at the “fast hair” shops, but the cost to
your hair while searching may be more than you care to spend.
Fast hair shops usually employ new, young stylists with little
experience. They earn a minimal wage and do not have to invest
in hair care products to use on their clients. Stylists that
you find in upscale shops and salons are usually independent
contractors leasing space in the salon. The salon provides
the work station, utilities and in some cases a receptionist
to service the stylists. These stylists are generally more
experienced and have built a solid clientele. They purchase
their own products used in servicing their clients either
from the salon or other suppliers and set their own prices.
71.
If you absolutely
must trim your hair at home, do it right! Purchase a pair
of professional hair cutting scissors and use them for nothing
else. Not to cut out pumpkins for the kids at Halloween,
not to trim a frayed edge off of a piece of clothing. Use
them for cutting hair. . .period! Take care of them properly
and they will last your for years to come.
72.
Trimming your
own hair isn’t as easy as it sounds. Try just evening up
the hair that frames your face. Grasp a small section of
dry hair (just a few strands at a time) and hold it gently.
If you tug at it the hair stretches and you will end up cutting
off more than you’d like. Try cutting beneath your fingers
instead of on top of them. This will also help to prevent
cutting off too much.
73.
Keep your hair
clean! There’s nothing worse than dirty, oily hair that hangs
in clumps.
74.
Use the correct
shampoo for your hair type. Not all hair is created equal.
75.
If you have oily
hair, do not shampoo every day. As paradoxical as it seems,
clean hair makes the problem worse because it allows the
oil to seep into the glands making it much more difficult
to deal with. Stay away from those “all in one” shampoos.
Use a ph-balanced shampoo when you do wash your hair and
scrub it well. You may need to change shampoos, so ask your
stylist what he or she recommends. Another tip is to avoid
oily foods as much as you can. It just contributes to the
problem. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Whatever you do
stay away from products that are supposed to make your hair
shine! Also do not use conditioner unless you apply it to
the ends of the hair strands. Keep it away from the scalp!
76.
Hair looking drab?
Need a change? Try a few highlights. It can do wonders for
brightening up your hair and face.
77.
Wanna’ try some
curls but don’t want the damage of a perm? Try a curling
iron and/or hot rollers. Hot rollers will give you more control,
but you won’t get those wispy, trailing curls. That you will
have to do with the curling iron.
78.
Do not try and
curl freshly cleaned hair. Try and remember to shampoo the
night before. Squeaky clean hair can sometimes give you difficulty
with holding a curl.
79.
Never use a “sticky”
hair spray before curling your hair with a curling iron or
hot rollers. You can cause damage.
80.
If you are fortunate
to have naturally curly hair, have your stylist cut it in
layers to take advantage of the new cascading curly look.
81.
If you are athletic,
keep your lifestyle in mind when selecting a “do.”
82.
If you are blonde
or have gray hair do not use any coal tar shampoo product
for dandruff as it may permanently stain your hair.
83.
Have a problem
with the dreaded “dandruff?” Here’s the “sure cure” and you’ll
find it in your kitchen. Vinegar! Yep, pour vinegar into
your hair, let it dry for a little while, then shampoo. Just
keep repeating it daily until the dandruff disappears. .
.and it will!
84.
Have you ever
almost fallen asleep in a stylists chair because you felt
sooo relaxed? Another good reason for visiting the salon!
85.
Have dry hair?
Use a hot oil treatment. Alberto V05 is a great over the
counter solution for dry hair.
