Simple Hair Care Tips for Beautiful Hair


Against frizz

What do you do when you're away from home and your hair suddenly goes "boing!"?
It's not practical to drag your straightening iron everywhere you go, but you can pack a small bottle of styling product in your purse. When trouble strikes, run some instant conditioner, curl-enhancer or anti-frizz serum through your unruly locks to keep them totally spazzing.

Silky hair

To get a smooth hair with enjoyable touch, apply a simple method: prepare a "mayo" with one yolk and 2 teaspoons of olive-oil. Apply the mixture on your hair before washing. Then cover the hair with packaging foil and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Finally, wash your hair with warmish water and baby shampoo and rinse it well.

Shine on

More natural shine for your hair? After washing the hair with the proper shampoo and after rinsing, pour one little bottle of warmish mineral water on your hair. The minerals fro the water makes the hair shiny - they have a pronounced reflection-capacity and interesting light-reflection. And it really works!

Over-use of a flat iron splits and fries hair-ends making them look like synthetic dolls' hair. Use it less and save your hair by blow-drying with a flat, paddle brush or a double-brush. The double-brush looks like a flatiron but it's lined with bristles and used with a blow-dryer. Don't forget to use a straightening product or a leave-in conditioner.

Don't put wet hair into pony-tail

Wet hair is weak and hair strands can snap off wound up in a hair-tie. Let the hair dry completely before tying it up. If time is an issue, then wash your hair the night before.

Preserve your hair color

Like any extra stress you put on your hair, coloring makes the hair weaker and can cause breakage, which is why it's so important to deep-condition to lock in moisture. If you're heat-styling your hair frequently, be sure to protect it with a gel or salve, which will ensure that the heat burns away the product and not your hair color. Also, be mindful of your shampoo and conditioner: Tailor them to your hair type and color to prevent fading and brassiness.

Great use of vinegar

After shampooing your hair, use 2oz. of brown vinegar (if hair is dark or in brown category) or white vinegar (if hair is grey, light, or colored blonde) to 8oz of water. Mix. pour over hair and work it through.

Rinse. Do not shampoo. Hair will smell fresh, and your scalp will have an astringent treatment as well. The vinegar closes the cuticle of the hair, thus, letting the hair reflect light .The hair will shine like a new dime! Vinegar rinses also help keep down bacteria growth on the scalp and cures dandruff.
