TAME FRIZZY HAIR -

'I have thick, black, rough and dry shoulder-length hair. I wash and condition my hair once a week. Though my hair feels silky to the touch when wet, after it dries it gets so frizzy! I am at a loss and just don't know what to do. I constantly keep my hair tied, and wish I could leave it open at times, but I cannot. Please help me!' - Kausalya, India Millions of women around the globe suffer from exactly the same problem: frizzy, uncontrollable and untidy locks. Just as a woman with a low metabolism rate will need to exercise more to lose weight, so also, a woman with frizzy hair will need to put in additional effort if she wants her hair to look good. Simply shampooing and conditioning hair is not adequate 'not if you want to get rid of the frizz.' Moisture Hair which is naturally frizzy lacks moisture and protein. Thus, the first step you need to take is to ensure your hair has sufficient moisture. Apply egg yolk to your hair around half an hour before washing your hair. Wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo, and follow up with a conditioner. Unless you exercise, you need wash your hair only once a week. Invest in leave-in conditioner. After washing and conditioning, towel dry hair and apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner to the ends of your hair. Styling your hair If your hair is frizzy, you will need to spend some time styling it if you want it to look good. Do you want to go straight or curly? Once you have that worked out, apply a generous dollop of gel to damp hair to hold the style and to tame frizzies, and get started. Curly: Apply rollers and leave them on until your hair dries completely. Avoid applying heated rollers unless essential. You could also apply sponge rollers at night, and remove them the next morning. Straight: If you want to straighten your hair instead, blowdry it straight with the help of a round brush. Blowdrying all your hair together will be of little use; you need to blowdry small sections at a time. Clip up the damp, unstyled hair with the help of two clips, and proceed to blowdry small sections, starting from the back of your head. When the hair is almost dry, reduce the heat of the blow dryer so you don't over-dry it. Be patient. The entire process may take half an hour. Don't rush it, or you will not get the results you want. Grow your hair long, as short hair tends to curl faster. If your hair is long, due to the weight, the curls open up. Your hair would be far easier to blowdry, and it will stay straight longer. Oil Safflower oil is excellent for frizzy hair. When your hair is completely dry, after styling it, apply 2-3 drops of safflower oil to your palms and rub them together. Apply this oil to the ends of your hair. Use more oil for longer hair, but ensure that the amount you apply is very little, so your hair does not look sticky. Leave this oil on in your hair. This will help tame the frizzes. Chemical Treatments You could consider going in for a perm, so your frizzes get converted into glossy curls. If you long for straight hair, you could also opt for a straightening treatment, though a perm is less harsh than chemical straightening. Whether you decide to perm or straighten your hair, you cannot afford to neglect it after the treatment as it could get damaged. But as long as you take care of your hair, oil it regularly, wash it gently and follow up with a conditioner, there should be no problem even after getting a chemical treatment done. Similarly, avoid going in for two chemical treatments together. If you must perm or straighten your hair, do not highlight it and vice versa. Minimal Fuss If you would rather not blowdry or style your hair, but simply want your frizzes to be manageable, here's what you could do: Start growing your hair long. After shampooing and conditioning, apply a few drops of oil to your damp hair. Apply a generous amount of gel to your hair. Brush your hair well, and then plait it. When dry, open up the plait, and apply a little more gel to the ends of the hair, to tame any frizzes. The result? Your hair may not look silky, but it will not be spreading out in all directions. The 'bushy' effect will be dramatically reduced, and your hair will look wavy and in control.

HIGHER, BABY! -

You don�t have to go all the way! All we�re trying to do is to add a little height to your hair.�� � GET THE LOOK To achieve a subtle but higher than usual do, just style your hair as normal and then comb the front section of your hair forward and either tie it up or clip it together, so that's it's separated from the rest of your hair. You are now ready to tease or backcomb your hair.� Many women make the mistake of backcombing the entire front section and then lightly brushing it to neaten it up. What you are doing then is untangling the knots you had created by backcombing, defeating the purpose. Your hair then falls flat much faster. You should, therefore, tease the section just behind the front of your hair, which is why it makes sense to start by clipping the front section.� Gently tease the hair left on top of your crown with a small brush or comb. Teasing hair gives you instant volume. After you've brushed it in the wrong direction, it should look like a little ball of hair is sitting on top of your head.� Sprtiz this �hairball� with a bit of hair spray, or apply gel before backcombing so it stays put.� Now take the front section of hair (which you initially separated) and smooth it over the top of your head to cover the back combed section. Voila! A perfectly coiffed style achieved in minutes. You could leave your hair open, or pin it up into an elegant bun.� If you change your mind and decide big hair is just not for you, just brush through the hairball, untangling it slowly and carefully � and you�re back to your basic flat style within moments.� On the other hand if you love the look and want to go even bigger and better, just use more of everything. More hair from the crown of your head to back-comb, more hair pins, more gel and hairspray � or just go bananas and back-comb your entire head of hair. Caution: birds may mistake your head for a nest.� This may not work well if your hair is too fine, and a couple of inches above the crown is probably about the biggest your hair will get. It helps if you gel your hair a day earlier and then gel it again before styling it.� Whatever you do, don�t wash your hair the day you want to style it if you want this look.�� For a looser look with more movement, simply use a few rollers at the top of the head, secure with styling gel to set the style and you�re done. If you have the time, go in for sponge rollers as these are the gentlest on hair. Metal rollers are the harshest, so if you must use heated rollers, invest in non-metal ones.

Hair Styles to Suit your Face

Hair Styles to Suit your Face

Heart	Oval	Round	Square	Triangular

Beautiful hair is the crowning glory of an attractive woman. So hair care is an extremely important aspect of beauty. But you should make sure that you have a style that suits your face and your hair type. Of course, it should be in fashion too. Although, sometimes the simplest of styles are the best.

Based on Type of Hair

Let us see which styles go well with your type of hair.

• Thin and fine: If your hair is thin and fine, keep it short and fluffy
• Medium or coarse: This hair can handle most styles
• Heavy or thick: If your hair is heavy or thick, keep it at a medium length or it will not hang well.

What kind of hairstyle makes you look glamorous? Well, would you believe it that it actually depends on the shape of your face. Faces are of different shapes. You must figure out the shape of your face so that you can decide which are the best hairstyles that will make you look like a model.

What is the shape of your face?

In order to determine the shape of your face, you will need to measure it. Measure your face from top to bottom and from side to side. If your face is oval shaped, then the length will equal to one and a half times the width. When the length of your face equals the width, then you have a round face. Triangular shaped faces have wide chins and narrow foreheads. Lastly, square shaped faces have a jawline, cheekbone and forehead almost equal in width.

Heart-shaped face

In order to express your features, you must try to diminish the width of your forehead and make your jaw wider. If you want bangs, wear them full and curly. Wear your hair fuller at the top than near your jawline. Your hair should be either short or of medium length and point your hair towards your face, since this will help to widen your chin. If you love short cut bobs up to your chin, then you should definitely get one, since your heart-shaped face will make you look like you just walked out of a magazine.

Oval faces

Since, you are blessed with an oval face, mostly any hairstyle will look good on you. You can wear your hair short, medium or long. A wonderful hairstyle would be one in which you do a side or a center parting and let your hair rest on your shoulders. In addition, you may also wear your hair slicked back or pulled back. However, it is advisable to have your hair away from your face and not to have too full bangs. Your face shape is adaptable to almost any hairstyle and that is why you should experiment and see which one you like the best.

Round faces

If you have found out that you have a round face, remember either to have short hair or chin length hair. You should consider layering your hair right from the top and keep your hair close to your face. Do not cut your hair very, very short and have a haircut that is rounded and ends at your chin. This will exaggerate your face shape even more. Straight bangs are not recommended, but if you love bangs, you should curl them and wear them to the side. These types of hairstyles will make your face look longer, which is what you want to strive for. Do not keep a lot of hair near the sides of your face and near your ears. However, wispy curls curled towards your face is recommendable. The point of all these hairstyles is to make your face look longer and less rounder and to accentuate your beautiful features.

Square Face

A square face has a very sharp angled jawline and has square shaped eyebrows. In order to lessen these features, you should strive for hairstyles that emphasize the cheekbones. Hairstyles worn in curls and waves will give shape to your square face. The length of hair that is perfect for you is about 1-1/2" below the chin or to have shoulder length hair. Your hair at these lengths will help to alleviate the squareness of your jaw line. It is advisable not to let your hair hang and better to wear a side part than a center part. Any freeflowing hairstyle for this shape will look wonderful.

Triangular shaped face

Since you have a triangular shaped face, you want to narrow the chin and widen the forehead. Keep your hair away from your face and ear to widen your forehead. In addition, you should angle your hair towards the chin. You should keep your hair length at least up to your chin and cut your hair in lots of layers. Also if you let your hair loose tuck it behind your ears so that it will help to highlight your eyes and increase the width around this area. In addition, instead of parting your hair in the center, try parting it off-center and see the model look you have always loved!
