Straightening Hair Tips

Hair straightening is a way to make wavy, frizzy and curly hair straight without damaging it. Straightening is a technique of chemically altering the structure of your hair so as to break the bonds that keep it curly, then reforming your hair in a straighter or less curly form.

Most women having curly or wavy hair have at some point grudged straight hair. When blow-drying your hair, ensure the hairdryer is pointing down, so that all the hair follicles point down, that equals super shiny hair. Use a moderate shampoo and strong conditioner so that the hair is well protected. Routine deep conditioning of the hair can give it a healthier bounce and shine.

The most effective manner for a perfect finish is to apply straightening balm to each section as you go. Deep conditioning is a must on hair which is chemically rested. Use a moisturizing shampoo for straightening hair.

If the hair is bitterly damaged, do not to apply a chemical relaxer until the hair is recovered. Always use a broad-toothed comb. If you’re in a rush and desire to dry your hair, don’t take the easy way out and straighten your hair when it’s wet. Always use a hairdryer prior to straightening.

Types of Hair - Hair Care Tips

FINE HAIR

You have seen this kind of hair-it hangs limply on the sides, is flat on the top and is lifeless. Some people call it “baby hair.” It tends to be flyaway and is difficult to style. The best tip for this kind of hair, besides getting the right haircut, is to use a penetrating conditioning shampoo with extra body as often as you like (hair seems to look fuller after a shampoo), a ten-minute conditioner every other week (it will give it more body), and no products for oily hair. If your hair and scalp also happen to be oily, more frequent shampooing with an “extra body” conditioning shampoo is a good idea.

THIN HAIR

If you have this type of hair, you know it! It is sparse (you can see your scalp through it), fragile and breaks easily-so handle it gingerly. You need an acid-balanced shampoo, to be used only once a week or so. Creme rinses may untangle your hair, but they will also keep it looking limp. You can use special body conditioners to add fullness to this type of hair.

COARSE HAIR

Coarse hair is usually difficult to control because it tends to be thick and wiry. It is healthy hair, but on humid days, it can get out of hand. If it isn’t dry, it may help you to wash it every other day or even every day with any normal shampoo. Frequent haircuts can do a lot to keep coarse hair under control.

THICK HAIR

This hair can be fine, it can be coarse-but whatever it is, you have an abundance of it. You should choose a shampoo that fits the condition of your hair-dry, oily or normal. Any rinses or conditioners are fine. Do condition this will untangle your hair, and you’ll need it!

DRY HAIR

Easily identifiable, dry hair looks and feels like straw, is usually split at the ends and is very dull and lifeless. Generally you are not born with dry hair-you make it dry. Any hair that has been bleached, permed or straightened will be dry. It needs a lot of care-oil treatments, acidic shampoos (and don’t wash it every day or it may get even drier), and conditioners full of moisturizing ingredients such as proteins. (Those of us who color our hair should know that the process damages only the hair the chemicals touched-new growth will again be healthy. Miraculous, isn’t it?)

OILY HAIR

Unless freshly washed, oily hair always looks greasy, as if you’ve slicked it down with gel. It always seems to look dirty. It is limp and stays close to your head, refusing to have any body. Moreover, having oily hair usually also means you have an oily scalp. You need to shampoo often with a shampoo especially made for oily hair, taking care to cleanse the scalp thoroughly with a double application of the shampoo. Don’t use a conditioner except on the ends (and then only if you have to)-or you’ll end up with “oilier” looking hair. If you need to use a detangling instant conditioner after shampooing, choose an extra-body product which is low in oily conditioners.

NORMAL HAIR

Normal hair is the envy of all of us-the head of hair you always wanted-shiny, full of body and absolutely gorgeous! Lucky you, you can do whatever you damn please-wash, condition, anytime and as often as you want-because whatever it is you’re doing, it must be right. But do remember, abuse it and you may be envying someone else.
