Have you ever wondered if the claims about hair vitamins are true? Is it really possible that the right vitamins can help your hair grow longer and faster? You’ve probably heard a lot of claims about products that make hair grow faster. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular hair vitamins and see if the claims are true.

It’s true that vitamins are important to an overall healthy lifestyle. They contain essential nutrients that boost the immune system and improve your hair’s health and vitality.

If you are suffering from split ends, just follow these simple steps. They will help you eliminate weak, brittle hair and replace it with a long, healthy mane.

1. Keep the use of styling products, such as hair sprays and gels, to a minimum. These can strip the sebum and make the hair much drier. Dry hair is much more likely to break.

2. Do not apply heat to your tresses. It will dry them out and lead to breakages. Avoid the use of hot rollers, curling irons, and blow dryers.

3. Eliminate, or at least minimize, the use of chemical hair care products. Hair straighteners, dyes, and perms should not be used more often than two times a month.

4. You should cut off all split ends every two months or so. Damaged ends will continue to split as far as the root if not trimmed.

5. Over-shampooing your hair can cause split ends. Use cold or lukewarm water, never hot, when you wash your hair. Over washing your hair takes away natural oils that help keep your hair and scalp moist, so it is essential that you never over wash your mane.  Read more...

I’ll admit I’m biased towards layered cuts. But for sure it doesn’t take much of a crystal ball to claim layered haircuts for women aren’t apt to go away any time soon. Especially when there are three good reasons which account for their popularity.

One, a layered hair cut will be flattering to the various face shapes.

Two, you get extra bounce and added fullness from layers. Giving you a fresh yet natural look that can’t be beat.

Three is all the styling options you’ve got with layered hair. Which is true whether you’ve got naturally curly, wavy or straight hair.

Now it’s important to understand that layered haircuts help change the way your face looks. Since this is a big advantage let’s look at the how such cuts might affect face shapes.

Just as an example if your face is round you should go for long layers. What this will do is reduce the width of your face. Long layered haircuts have fewer layers too. The first layer usually begins at the shoulder level. On the whole there are at most 3 to 4 layers.  Read more...

Home laser hair removal systems have opened up the option to remove body hair via laser to many people who normally would not seek the services of a clinic. It is a relatively advanced method that offers an effective hair removal process with minimal pain and discomfort. All the benefits of being one of the closest things to permanent hair removal can now be had in the comfort of your own home on your time and the repeat sessions and touch ups without the additional cost.

Hair removal by laser originally was available only through the services of a trained medical professional. The take home device works on the same principle but through a portable machine that is now safe for the general public to treat themselves. The laser works by penetrating the skin and heating the root of the hair follicle. The heat destroys the hair and stops it from growing. It is a less painful process compared to temporary solutions like shaving, waxing, or plucking.  Read more...

We regularly color, straighten and blow dry our hair to style it, right? But your hair is paying a price for all this attention. Sure you want your hair to look its best. But if you’re overworking it you’re doing more harm than good with some all too common hairdo don’ts. Here’s a list of some of the dumb things we do to our hair. How many are you guilty of?

For example heat kills. We all know blow dryers and straightening irons are bad for our hair, right? But how many of us take the time to apply a thermal protectant to minimize heat damage? Not enough. And fewer still keep the time under the blow dryer to a minimum but using an ionic dryer which will dry your tresses faster. While too many turn on the dryer before sufficiently towel drying their hair damp.

Another mistake is not waiting long enough after coloring before shampooing. That’s right, washing hair sooner than 36 hours after coloring is another common mistake. It takes time for the cuticle to close and settle down. Applying the shampoo too soon means you’re literally washing the color out of your hair and down the drain.  Read more...

We are constantly inundated with advertisements pushing us to buy hair care products. Several companies like Redken, Paul Mitchell and Pureology budget millions every year to make sure that we, the public, get their messages. Though their ads work, it doesn’t mean that they are the only products worth trying. There are a few other lines that provide superb results for people who take caring for their hair seriously.

I am a huge fan of a lesser known line of hair care products called Brocato. This is a line created by Sam Brocato, who has created a successful business based on his passion for beauty and education for not only the stylist, but for the end user. His vision is based on his desire for clients to be able to achieve salon-results every time they do their hair.

When talking about hair, he refers to it as “fabric”. Each type requires a different type of care regimen. Would you wash a white silk blouse along with a dark pair of denim jeans? Of course not! He calls his style of hair care “Haute Coiffure”, a clever play on the well known phrase “Haute Couture”. Since all hair is different, the care given to it must be catered specifically to achieve the best outcome.  Read more...
