Does Razor cuts traumatize hair

Many people have their opinions about whether you should razor your hair or not. Alot of things play a factor in this. However, the most important thing to consider is, its not what your hair is cut with, but if it's sharp or dull. The sharper the instrument the better the cut, be it a razor or scissors.,
Razor cut hair has a rough surface therefore it can invite the start of splitting as well as be vulnerable to damage since a brush or comb can snag the open cortex of the hair. Where as scissors make a straight cut lessening the damage procedure

Does weekly deep-condtioning treatments repair hair damage

Conditioning your hair is like simonizing your car- it covers the scratches and makes it shiny!!
Conditioning coats the hair cuticle of the hair, easier to comb, and less flyaway, so it appears healthy, strong, and shiny.
The general rule of thumb is that the thicker and curlier the hair, the heavier the conditioner should be to coat it properly. Women with fine hair do best with a voluming conditioner and should avoid silicone.
Leave-in conditioners tend to be better for damaged and damage-prone hair because they add moisture without increasing friction from the extra handling required by the rinse-out variety.
Experts warn not to get too hung up on labeling "All the cream rinses and conditioners so the same thing"

Does shampooing your hair everyday damage it

The notion that daily washing destroys hair is "a myth". In fact straight fine hair tends to look greasy if its not shampooed everyday. Although for most women washing two or three times a week is adequate. An exception to the rule would be black women, whose fragile hair suffers from the tangling that washing involves, and whose hair may get dried out by shampoos that would have no ill effects on other hair types.Women of color shouldn't shampoo their hair more than once a week.
Also women who color, perm, or straighten their hair may benefit from less frequent shampooing.
Women with naturally curly hair that straightens it may only shampoo every other day or so, this too is okay.
No one knows your hair like you do! If you feel better by shampooing daily do it! If you like to only shampoo a few times a week that's fine too.Just make sure that you are using a good shampoo. Rinsing the conditioner out well. And make sure that you rinse hair with cool water!

Is Blow Dring Very Bad?

Yes this can be true blow drying can damage your hair. But so can the wind and dirt in the air!
However, there are things we can do to make it better.
1. Let hair dry a little before you start.
2. Use a protective product on the hair
3. Use the cool bottom every few seconds to cool the dryer down
4. Use a ceramic dryer.
5. Try not to stretching the hair so much. Comb the tangles out first. Dry 90% before you start to use the brush. Most of your styling can be done with your fingers alone.

Summer is near. When you are out in the sun put sunblock in your hair! YES sunblock, it will protect it from damage.

Tens of Billions of dollars are spent each year by women worldwide on makeup and other cosmetic products. Advertisements for makeup, hair care products and the like abound and niche magazines promoting cosmetics are some of the very best sellers. But although today's cosmetics industry is amongst the most dominant markets, the use of makeup has actually been with us for thousands of years. The earliest recorded use of makeup involved the Egyptians of the 4th Century before Christ.

According to a Survey from Allure Magazine:
65% of Men and Women Say people with better hair are more successful!!!

Wow wonder if that's true? I know they look better!!
I mean just look how beautiful this clients hair was.

Beauty Report:
Expiration Point; Even if you've learned the basics of makeup freshness-toss a mascara three months after opening,foundation after six months- Lip gloss after 18 months- its not always easy to remember the particular dates. Place a small sticker on the new bottle, tube, or compact with the date you need to throw it out, as a good reminder. Put your germ fears to rest!!!
FYI, only nail polish and mineral powders are nonperishable.

I love hair and makeup!! The beauty world is so fascinating. I was reading an article and Did you know according to "The Hair Sciences Survey" That 65% of men and women say people with better hair are more successful!!!! Huh I wonder if that's true.

“Hair’s” to a Wonderful Wedding Day!

It’s not a matter of “hair” today, gone tomorrow but one that will be talked about for days and even months afterward – the hairstyle you wear on your wedding day is as important as your dress or any other accessory and must be chosen and done with the care it deserves. Weddings are all about being beautiful, about showcasing your best features and looking like a dream come true as you float down the aisle bathed in your own radiance and joy. Keeping with trend, here are a few tips to prevent your wedding day from becoming a bad hair day:

“Dress” up your hair: Choose your hair style based on your wedding dress. Some designs call for the elegance of the twist while others literally beg you to let your hair down. Take into account the neckline, shoulder design and the relative formality (or lack of it) when you decide how you want to wear your hair.

“Accessorize” your tresses: It’s not enough that your dress and hair go hand in hand; you must take care to see that your veil and accessories match too. The best way to see if they all form a pretty and perfect picture is to have your hair done the way you want to as you’re trying out your wedding dress and accessories.

“Groom” and shine: Dull and listless hair is a definite no-no on your wedding day. Make sure you begin a good grooming and conditioning routine months before the big day to put that sleek shine in your locks. Rope in a salon to help you plan for the big day and get your hair in shipshape condition so that it glows and shimmers as you walk down the aisle.

“Lock” in your plans”: If you’re looking for ideas for innovative hairstyles, leaf through glossy and wedding magazines, surf the Internet, watch television shows or observe people at weddings or parties to see what you like. You could also visit your salon to see what ideas they throw up.

“Suiting” the hour: And last but not the least, make sure the style you choose suits you. Sure, it’s tempting to go with the latest trends, but it’s wiser to factor in windy outdoors, maintenance aspects and face appeal before you decide on the style for your crowning glory. You don’t want to be remembered as the bride whose hair blew all over her face or lost a pin or two as she fumbled her vows.

So now that you know how to prevent hair horror stories on your wedding day, “hair’s” to a very happy and special day.
