Hair Coloring Dos and Don’ts (part 2)

You can try labels like Revlon, L’ Oreal, Nutrisse, and Clairol. Their products range from permanent to semi-permanent, and has rich, lasting colors. Once you’ve chosen, be sure to read the directions. If it’s your first time to use the product, take an allergy test. Rub the colorant on a small patch of skin, then wait for 24 hours. If there isn’t any itchy or tingly sensation, you’re ready to try it on your tresses.

Apply the coloring cream on your hair in sections. This is to achieve a consistent shade on all the areas of your mane. When done, be sure to discard the hair color immediately. I stress the last word because once the hair color has been exposed to air, it darkens as if it’s spoiled already. Don’t use the cream anymore to prevent any hair damage or allergies. That’s why it’s important to be sure of how dark or light you want your shade to be. If you wanted to change anything, do it immediately, and don’t wait for 20 minutes. Your hair color has darkened by then.

Hair Coloring Dos and Don’ts (part 1)

Girls just can’t resist experimenting with their tresses. I’m guilty of the deed because I just got my hair dyed two weeks ago. It wasn’t the first time I tried it, but it pretty scared me of how “bad” I’ll look like in case I don’t get things right.

First things first, choose hair coloring products which are tried and tested. Don’t attempt to give your virgin mane cheap products (those that cost way too low for you to believe) as these might just destroy your hair. Trust me, I’ve been there. I had to steer clear from coloring products for three years, until I’ve had my smooth black-brown hair back.

Choosing Your Stylist or Barber

I know a few guys who have stuck with one barber for most of their adult lives. Why? They usually stick with the one who already knows the ins and outs of his hairstyle and hair needs. Switching barbers or stylists everytime would tend to make it difficult to take care of hair. But if you have someone you know and trust, you don’t even have to tell him or her what style you want. You just sit on the chair, and he can do his magic.

At least that is the case if you’d rather stick to one style. If you’re the experimenting kind, then of course you can go ahead with different stylists.

Daily Hair Care

The hair is the body’s crowning glory. It’s important that we keep our hair clean to be free from dandruff and itchy and oily scalp. You should cleanse, tone, and condition your hair to keep it smooth, shiny, and dust-free. After using a mild shampoo, tone your hair simply by gently massaging your scalp. This helps in stimulating hair follicles, and aids in blood circulation for a healthy hair growth.

It is recommended that you use shampoo and conditioner with botanical extracts because they don’t destroy hair’s natural moisture. To keep you hair from being dry, you could try shampooing thrice a week, then conditioning during the days in between. Avoid brushing your hair when its wet, as the roots are still weak. Start brushing from the ends, then work its way upwards. This technique prevents split-ends and tangles.

Aloe Vera for the Hair

null
A lot of people are having problems with hair loss. While there are many treatments available, they are either expensive and none of them guarantee concrete effects.
Aloe vera has been widely used in alternative/herbal medicine (diabetes, psoriasis, burns, antibacterial, antifungal, heart burns, irritable bowel syndrome) and beauty business. Furthermore, aloe vera is also known to be a natural, safe, and inexpensive remedy for hair loss. It acts as a natural hair conditioner and is proven safe as it has no known side effects.
