It seems like some older celebrities including Sarah
Michelle Gellar, Ellen Page and Beyonce are trying out shorter styles like
bobs. Others are doing all they can to keep their long tresses beautiful, like
Kate Hudson. As we leave our twenties and move into our thirties, the hair
starts protesting at us. It also starts to thin, and the ends don’t cope with
constant styling.
Whatever length you want to keep your hair, even brushing
can do damage. Heat and cold shocks over winter moving from
inside to outside don’t help. It seems our poor hair is at war with the
elements and trying to keep it looking fabulous is very hard. What we need is
some TLC for our locks and the time to implement
it!
There are hundreds of conditioners on the market right now
that offer outstanding results for long and short hair. But there are times we
need more. If you are having more bad hair days than good hair days, it could be
time to use an intense hair mask. These are special leave-in creams and oils
that you smother onto your hair and leave for about 5 minutes to give a deep
burst of goodness for your hair.
When you dry your hair, protect it from the heat by using a
heat protector spray. This will reduce the damage from blow drying. Towel dry
your hair thoroughly before applying any heat. Hair should be damp at most and
certainly not wet before you begin heating it up. This will avoid it drying out
too quick and burning. For straighter styling use a good brush you can blow the
heat through, rather than a comb.
Once your hair is dry, you may want to straighten or curl
your hair. A ghd flat iron or other straighteners are great
for ensuring your style is straight and stays that way all day. If you haven’t
done so already, spray your hair with a heat protector before you begin. Don’t
panic if you see a little steam as you use your iron or curler. For a good
curler, pick one that will provide several curl sizes. You may want big curls
most days, but the front strands may look good on a smaller curling iron.
Finish any drying and styling routine with a good finishing
serum to restore the moisture and shine to your ends. The tiniest amount of
this does a lot to help. Some of them are oils so remove excess from your
fingertips before applying to your hair. Rub it in gently.
