MAKEUP & BEAUTY TIPS
EYELASH EXTENIONS
1. Determine for yourself if you have dry or oily hair, or a combination of both. If you have dry hair, select shampoos that are moisturizing. If you have oily hair, choose a more astringent shampoo.
2. Pay close attention to the ingredients on your shampoo, and avoid those that contain alcohol as a main component. The alcohol dries out the hair strand, making it more susceptible to breakage.
3. Daily shampooing is appropriate if you have oily hair or if you exercise and the scalp and hair become damp, or if you live in a very warm climate. Condition your hair each time you wash your hair. If you have dry hair, a "thickening" or moisturizing formula is appropriate. If you have oily hair, again, a more astringent formula with ingredients that remove "hair buildup" from previous applications of mousse, hair gel or hair sprays. Colder water closes the cuticle and makes your hair look shinier.
4. Use a conditioner on your hair, especially on the ends. The ends of your hair tend to be the driest because they are furthest away from your scalp, where nourishing oils are distributed.
4. Apply a liberal amount of leave-in conditioner
5. Towel dry your hair. Avoid blow drying your hair as it damages your hair. If blow drying is required apply heat resistant spray prior then blow dry.
6. Comb your hair with a wide bristle brush. The wide bristles prevent your hair from tangling in the brush.
7. Get an hair cut every four to six weeks. This removes your split ends and encourages healthy hair growth.
8. Take a break from the styling tools; curling irons, ceramic straighteners, and blow dryers. All of these heat styling tools can cause hair damage and leave you with a frizzed, stressed mane.
Did You Know: Your hair grows about 1/2 inch each month, and the strength of the cells which make up those new hair strands is a direct result of the nutrients you are putting into your body. Get regular trims. Hair that is split can continue to separate up the hair shaft and cause a dull and frizzy appearance. Regular trims can help alleviate this and contribute to the overall vibrancy of your hair.
