Shampoos for Great Hair: Clairol Herbal Essences

Every girl craves for lustrous, silky hair. Men go for it, too! The trick here is to look for shampoos that are compatible with your hair’s texture. Some shampoos have rich, creamy formulations, that contribute to dry, itchy, and flaky scalp. I’ve listed the top shampoos most women use to achieve uber- gorgeous mane.

Clairol Herbal Essences – These products come from different variants. If you have fine, limp hair, try using the Clairol Body Envy Collection to add volume to your hair. The complete hair care set is infused with nectarine and pink coral flower. If your locks are prone to breakage and hair fall, there’s the Break’s Over Collection. Its formulation gives strength to weak hair and prevents further damage. Keep color-treated hair healthy and radiant by lathering it with the Color Me Happy hair care system. For a sleek, straight mane, use the Dangerously Straight Collection. It keeps your hair pin-straight even in high humidity.

Gorgeous ‘Dos For the Beautiful You – Cuts for Short Hair (part 3)

A shoulder length and angled cut would flatter your features. Styling time takes to 15 minutes. To make your hair straight and sleek, blow-dry it with a paddle brush. Use a styling cream or a leave-on conditioner (for me, CreamSilk work best) to add shine and prevent flyaways.

My second favorite cut is the chic, short layered style. It has long layers and lengthy bangs, with additional length left in the back. The good thing about this is that it takes only five minutes to maintain! You could spread only a small amount of styling gel and push your hair behind your ears, or just keep it loose.

Gorgeous ‘Dos For the Beautiful You – Layers (part 2)

If you’re the type who go for layers, good for you! Angled layers add movement to weighed-down mane. This is one of my favorite styles! I’m a sucker for the tousled, just-got-out-of-bed look. You may use Velcro rollers to achieve this. For soft curls that look natural, scrunch the Velcro balls into your hair while blow-drying. To avoid tangles, don’t sleep on them or coil hair more than twice.

The beauty of layers is that they give body to your hair. Your styling time could take up to 30 minutes. You could flip your hair from one side to the other while blow-drying. This will add fullness to your mane. Use a jumbo round brush to direct the layers toward the face. You can pull it back or up, or blow the layers back or under.

Gorgeous ‘Dos For the Beautiful You (part 1)

Spring is here, and it’s the season for flowers. They bloom in the sun, and so should you. One cool way to look good and feel good is to rid yourself of stubborn tangles, split-ends, and your boring ‘do. Get a gorgeous, head-turning haircut!

If you choose to maintain your Rapunzel-like hair, you have to wash it nightly because it’s likely to attract so much dust and dirt. Waist-length hair usually takes three hours to blow-dry, and has fewer styling options. While it’s too long to put up in a ponytail, it would also take you forever to curl it. The best remedy to transform blah, boring mane to a glamorous hairdo is to rebond it. Rebonding uses milder chemicals than relaxing and straightening processes. It makes your hair super straight and manageable. To make it shiny, you could have a hair spa or protein treatment.
