Why You Should Use Professional Hair Stylist Products

It is true that these days we have multiple products to choose from for our hair. Yet, why would we choose a professional hair product instead of the cheaper, nonprofessional products? As a cosmetologist I have spent a lot of time researching the quality of professional salon products versus the cheaper, mass marketed, nonprofessional products. Professional hair products are tested extensively to ensure safety, quality, high concentration, and effectiveness for hair. They always come with a money back guarantee which speaks volumes.

Products are tested on live models to assure that their testimonial always has the result desired. Not only do consumers use these products, but stylists use them in the beauty salons and give their expert opinions back to the companies about the quality rendered. Stylist’s opinions are used to review the marketed products, and we stylists can be very favourable or critical because an excellent hair product used on a client’s hair is essential to a stylist’s customer retention.

Companies offer toll free numbers that a consumer can call for any questions about a professional product, which is also a guarantee of quality also. Nonprofessional hair products are made for mass production and therefore they are not of exceptional quality.

Many of these products have high concentrations of alcohol, detergents, and other harsh chemicals in them that can damage the hair and skin. Along with drying out the hair and skin, these can strip out perms and salon color from your hair. Many of these products are not truly ph balanced for the hair, and can leave it dull and drab, or even fly away.

Mass manufactured department store hair products have heavy concentrations of wax substances in them also, which can lead to hair loss. The hair loss is caused due to build up of the wax additives in the product that accumulate on the scalp. This can smother the hair follicle and the ultimate result is hair loss. I have witnessed this hair loss many times with new clients who have been using these cheaper versions of shampoos and conditioners.

At first the hair products that claim luxurious shine and manageability seem to work. After several shampoos and conditioning treatments however, the wax buildup is evident from the dull lifeless hair and greasy scalp. It will take a salon clarifying treatment to remove the wax build up from the hair and scalp.

Nonprofessional hair products are not tested thoroughly enough, tried, and proven for the health and beauty of the hair and scalp. That is why they are offered at a cheaper price. You get more value in the long run when you pay a little more for a better quality, highly concentrated, professionally tested product, that is guaranteed to give you the results you are looking for.

I have personally tested both kinds of products on my own hair to experience the difference in quality first hand. My research still proves that professional products work better for the hair and scalp versus their less expensive counterparts.

I will be writing more on this topic as well!


Hair Care – New Spring Styles For 2011

These days a good majority of women are putting on shorter hair in order to compensate for less time in the morning to work on the hairdo, but for the spring of 2011, look for longer locks on women, even the working woman.

Women are coming to terms with the fact that longer hair can actually be easily cared for while shorter hair may take extra work in order to tame those curls or to set the hair in the spikes that look nice. Flat short do’s are becoming don’ts for spring of 2011, with a far softer and more feminine look coming to the fore.

Long soft curls or long sleek locks with a bit of body are making the scene at the workplace and in the home and gym. Long hair can be easy care, it simply requires a style that permits you to finger comb and go like some of those tousled short do’s used to be.

The second reason why short hair is making it’s way out and slightly longer styles are coming into play in 2011 is that this year, its all about movement. The slight sway that longer hair can offer. Styles are going to appear to be moving even if they are well locked into place with gels or sprays. Clever cutting styles and easy techniques to add height and volume will make even the most well styled and laid down hair appear to have movement.

Another important concept for 2011 is a brand new look called the candy floss texture and style. Its very soft, extremely feminine to view and has a very matte finish to it, rather than a high gloss type style. A spray of sea salt or salt water is offering this great new look and then the hair is backcombed to achieve the effect of softly flowing hair even if its been gelled into place with a vengeance.

The soft side part or a center parting is back in style with the pouf that was last year on its way out again, but along with the part comes a soft fringe or a blunt cut set of bangs that will lend some softness and some swing to the style that you’re sporting.The newest look is an arc cut bangs that add some swing and some softness, gently framing the face. This type bangs though can be difficult to maintain so if you’re not someone who regularly makes it in for a haircut, you’ll want to consider a blunt cut bang in order to get the effect a bit more longer lasting and low maintenance.

Hair Health – How to Have Healthy Hair, Part Two

Having healthy hair is easier once you know what effects hair and what choices you can make to support you hair in being healthy. To have healthy hair there are factors you have to consider from the inside and from the outside.

Inside factors include anything that is going on inside your body. This includes the kinds of things you are ingesting (food, beverages, thoughts), what form of release you have established (exercise, yoga, breath work, being outside, laughter, fun) and if you are in a state of health and balance. The three biggest inside factors that affect your hair are stress, hormones and medication.

Outside factors include how you treat your hair, what you do to your hair (color, straighten, blow drying), environmental factors (pollution, ozone layer, air conditioning, artificial heat, chlorine) and weather (sun, wind, humidity, cold).

In this article we are going to focus on the outside factors and what you can do to support your hair in being healthy.

How You Treat Your Hair
Begin in the shower, what shampoo and conditioner do you use? It needs to be quality. Professional products are usually best. A product with keratin and moisture does wonders for anyone with chemically treated hair. Keratin is a form of protein and protein will rebuild your hair from the inside out. Moisture will protect your hair on the surface. It is crucial to have quality products for quality hair.

If you brush your hair when wet, switch to a comb. Hair is most elastic when wet, and if your hair is weak or vulnerable, it can overstretch and break when it’s wet. Just take care. Combing is more forgiving.

Next, use product in your hair if you plan on using any kind of heat. Product will help protect your hair. If you are blow drying, put your product on, then finish getting ready or eat breakfast and let your hair air dry for a bit. When you do blow dry, start on warm to get your hair 70 to 90 percent dry, then switch to hot heat. Use the heat as a styling tool, to give your hair a finished, polished look.

Don’t wash your hair everyday. This is super for your scalp and hair. You can use hair power and a quick freshening spray on your non-wash days, in combination with a quick blow dry on hot, to reshape your hair. Over time, this will make a huge impact of the health of your hair. Less washing means less styling. Less styling is less wear and tear on your hair.

What You Do To Your Hair
If you color or straighten your hair it is important to give back to your hair. You need to do all that we have just covered, not as an option, but as a practice of how to treat your hair. Also ask your stylist about gloss for coloring. It is safe and effective and feels wonderful. Your hair will shine.

Environmental Factors
Be aware of the environmental factors you can control. Nourish your hair with oils if you are in artificial heat or air.

Weather Factors
Put fresh water in your hair, then conditioner, then a cap on if you are getting in chlorinated water. Treat you hair to a deep conditioning treatment if you live in an area with extreme weather. Wear hats if you are out in the sun or cold.

Now that you know what factors affect your hair you can make choices to be nice to your body from the inside. Use quality products to nourish and protect your hair from heat, weather and daily life. Don’t wash everyday and take care to take care.

How To Grow Healthy Hair

“Hair brings one’s self image into focus; it is vanity’s proving ground. Hair is terribly personal, a tangle of mysterious prejudices”
- Shana Alexander.

Healthy hair is the crucial accessory which adds to the overall beauty of a woman or a man. One should keep the hair in healthy condition and maintain in order to get lustrous, damage free, shiny and lush locks.

In order to overcome these woes one can simply follow certain advices which will not only help one’s tresses to grow but also to cure damaged hair.

Combing the wet hair is not advisable as they are more prone to breaking. Always allow the hair to dry. Using proper bristles is the key to enhance blood circulation to hair root which facilitates growth.

Deep conditioning of this is necessary once in every 10 days because of which the hair shaft and strands become strong. Along with strengthening it also helps in opening of cuticles so that essential nutrients and ingredients can penetrate and nourish to get healthy growth.

Washing the hair is the best way to keep it clean and dirt free. Oily scalp and hair follicles tend to attract more dust and dirt which clogs the root end. This can lead to itchy, scaly skin that may hamper the growth. Ensure that the hairbrush and hair clips are devoid of old dirt and residues. It may be advisable to clean the comb and brush with a proper cleanser.

Split hair can be another problem which hinders growth; hence intermediate hair cutting ensures long gleaming healthy hair. The ends of hair are more porous due to rough handling, coloring, perming and exposure to heat appliances and as a result the hair fails to grow further.

It is rightly said that you are what you eat, the main crux to get healthy hair is to have a balanced meal which includes leafy vegetables, cereals, citrus fruits, milk products, spinach, apricots, whole grains etc. Food rich in iron and zinc is essential in faster and growth; hence one should supplement meals with iron and zinc rich ingredients.

Ayurveda herbs like brahmi, amalaki, bhringaraj, rosemary, lavender and hibiscus are known to provide excellent tonic for this tuff. These herbs help stimulating the hair follicles thereby promoting hair growth. They even retard premature hair graying and thinning. Above all stress reduction is additional benefit of Ayurveda herbs which help in getting beautiful, shiny and healthy hair naturally.

Healthy Diet For Healthy Hair

  When it comes to your tresses, both the internal and external treatment you provide are of equal importance. It means that both the quality of your diet and of the products you put on your hair have to be considered.

It is important to drink enough water, because water makes your hair not only supple and soft, but also silky and shiny. So, don’t wait until you feel thirsty! Just keep drinking water!

Dietitians recommend a diet rich in protein for healthy hair, since hair consists of primarily protein. Eating protein rich foods like fish, meat, milk and cheese will give your hair more strength, while preventing it from breaking and splitting. Put eggs also on your menu! However they’re served up, scrambled, fried, boiled, eggs are one of the best protein sources one can find.

Minerals are also vital for healthy hair. Let’s take a closer look at their roles: iron carries oxygen to the hair, zinc prevents hair loss, while copper improves the natural color of your hair. To get sufficient iron, do include red meat and dark green vegetables in your diet. Your hair can receive the needed amount of zinc from meat and seafood. Fresh vegetables, nuts, seeds, meat and liver are a precious source of copper. By the way, low-fat dairy products like skim milk and yogurt contain calcium, an important mineral for hair growth.

Because vitamins help in the growth of your hair you must ensure that your diet includes all the necessary ones. Vitamin A, found especially in carrots is good for skin and keeps your scalp healthy. Including fruit, vegetables, cereals, eggs, milk and bread in your daily diet you supply your body with vitamin B and C, which are ideal for hair growth and color.

And don’t forget to exercise! Along with a healthy hair diet, this will ensure that blood flows properly to your scalp, helping your hair to grow.

On the other side, you have to take care externally of your tresses. Nothing can be better than making use of top-class shampoos, conditioners, styling products and color support under the expert eye of skillful salon teams.

It follows that the most effective way to get healthy hair is through a healthy diet doubled harmoniously by the use of high-quality hair care products praised by professionals

If you are looking for professional salon quality hair care products then Bumble and Bumble are the products for you.

Create Dramatic Holiday Hair Styles With Your Curling Iron

It really is the most wonderful time of the year. And this past week I’ve been enjoying receiving in the mail the Christmas issues of all my favorite magazines. I’m loving all the holiday hair tips and have noticed one fun new theme in all the suggestions: jewelry. What could be better than putting something sparkly in your hair for that holiday party or event?

I’ve seen two great suggestions in the jewelry direction. First is a bejeweled headband. This means you could style your hair like normal. Use your blow dryer and curling iron and maybe put in a few more curls than normal. Then simply top it with a special sparkly headband that matches or coordinates with the color of your outfit. That definitely sounds easy enough for anyone to do.

The second idea is some well placed jewelry in your hair. Clip your locks up with a barrette or comb that has stones or something even more flashy on it. Or try a pin or stick for something really different. These accessories would be beautiful with flowing curls (might require even more quality time with your curling iron than normal but worth it!) or an evening bun.

One particular style really caught my eye for those of you with medium to long, curly or wavy hair. Start by twisting and pinning your hair up with bobby pins (i.e. pin curls). Leave the pins in for half an hour and finish off with your blow dryer with diffuser attached to make sure everything is dry. Take the pins out and finger comb if you’d like. Just don’t use a comb or brush on the hair as it will make it frizzy. Then bring the tendrils up and work into a loose bun. It looks very sophisticated.

Whatever you are doing for the holidays, spending some extra time making your hair look great is always worth it. Holiday parties are a great excuse to try new and different styles with your hair.

Blow Drying Your Hair

This is how I blow dry my hair with a round brush under 7 minutes!


Winter Hair

Does your hair have seasonal affective disorder (SAD)? If so, you’re not alone. The bleak winter weather can wreak havoc with hairstyles, leaving you with a fraying nest which is more Winehouse than Cole. This is nothing short of a disaster – you need your hair to look shiny, healthy and full of life for all those Christmas and New Year parties!

Look after your hair in the winter with proper hair care and some good quality hair care products, and your hot locks will set the tone for your Christmas period look, getting you off to a good start when it comes to making the most of the holiday season. Leave it to chance and you could find all those carefully selected outfits ruined by a disobedient barnet.

Here are the top 5 winter hair care tips to keep your hair well-behaved for winter.

Condition well

One of the main problems with winter is that it can strip the hair of moisture. It’s therefore vital to use hair care products which will replenish that moisture and a good conditioner is the best place to start. Along with using the right type of moisturizing conditioner for your hair (ask your stylist which hair care products are best for your hair type), treat your hair with an intensive conditioning treatment twice a week. For best results, slather on the conditioner and wrap your hair in a towel for ten minutes – this creates a humid environment, allowing the conditioner to penetrate the hair properly.

Rinse with cold water

Rinsing with cold water after washing out hair care products is a good way to help lock in the moisture from your conditioner. It also gives added shine to the hair.

Don’t go outside with wet hair

Going outside with wet hair in winter can lead to the hair freezing and possibly breaking, so try to make sure your hair is dry and protected before you leave the house. If you’re going out in the cold weather, you also need to be wary of hats. If you want to wear a hat, make sure it fits properly and clean your hats regularly. Wearing a tight hat can lead to limp, greasy hair due to overworked sebaceous glands.

Avoid heating the hair

Any extreme temperature can lead to hair damage, so icy cold weather and central heating in winter is a troublesome combination for hair care, robbing moisture and increasing static. Try not to overuse any hot items on the hair in winter. Blow dryers and curling tongs, for example, can dry out the hair. Limit use of your hairdryer and, when you do use it, use a cool setting. This will take longer but it will be far less likely to contribute to the winter damage of your hair.

Don’t shampoo too often

Winter weather and central heating will dry your hair meaning you need to shampoo less often at this time of year. Try to leave longer between washes – at least a day – and the natural oils will help prevent the hair drying out. When you do wash, use moisturising hair care products to help reduce dryness. Now – time to get ready for that party!

ShopRush stocks all your favourite brands of hair care products and styling items, like tigi hair products and kerastase, to bring you all the tools you need, at fantastic prices.

Getting Rid of Gray Roots


Hair Color Trends for Fall and Winter 2010

With each change in the season also come changes in trends for clothing and hairstyles. If you want to keep up to date with your look, it will be important to learn about the hair color trends for fall and winter 2010. As summer soon comes to a close, there are new trends appearing when it comes to hair for both male and females.

Regardless of the current trends, it is also important to remember that your skin tone and eye color will have an impact on the hair color that you should choose. Following every new trend blindly without consideration of your skin tone and hair type can lead to disaster. Just because something is “hot” right now does not mean that it’s going to be best for you.

It’s important to first learn about the trends and then to make the right decision about the one that is best for you. Dying your hair is one way you can achieve an instant makeover. It can completely change the way you look or it can be used just for subtle highlights to accent your features.

For 2010 fall and winter seasons, it’s all about the subtle changes such as highlights or coloring that is close to your natural shade. Hair highlights and lowlights are a great way to bring out your features, such as your eyes.

Caramel and honey colored highlights are great for people with blonde hair. Different shades of blonde can benefit from highlights and lowlights in these shades. They help break the monotony of a single shade of blonde and also give you a more natural look.

Another popular shade if you are looking to change the overall color instead of just highlights is copper. Copper has been hot throughout the summer and it will remain a popular shade throughout the rest of 2010 as well. It’s a great look because it can go with all skin types and it looks great on all different types of hair styles and cuts.

If you’re brunette and want a change but don’t want to go too drastic, consider a base of dark chocolate with some golden brown highlights. For fine or limp hair, start the highlights at the mid section of the hair to give the appearance of more volume.

If you’re a redhead, there are great shades for you this season, too. Try mahogany tones or even plum or hazelnut. Redheads do well with an all over color as opposed to just highlights as it blends better with their skin tone.

Now that you can see what the current and upcoming hair color trends for fall and winter 2010 will be, you no longer have to be worried about having a boring shade or the wrong shade. Your hair can look fabulous all year long!

Food that makes hair healthy

If you’re one of the many vacationers this summer who dread split ends and dried-out hair after a day at the beach or pool, or find that the sun isn’t kind to healthy tresses, or discover that the partial weave doesn’t look as good as in the magazines, there’s a better alternative to hair extensions, minoxidil, and high-priced salons. You may be having a bad hair day because of what you put in your mouth.

Studies by hair loss prevention researchers at MMT Research Inc. found that bad hair days abound when we don’t get enough vitamins or protein. Bad nutrition causes hair loss (androgenic alopecia). In the April 2003 issue of Better Nutrition, zinc, for example, inhibits high levels of DHT, a form of testosterone that is linked to hair loss. Other inhibitors are amino acids such as L-arginine, essential fatty acids such as omega-3 (found in fish), lecithin, B vitamins, lutein, sulfur, iron, and minerals that help your magnificent mane. You can find these hair helpers in:

o Beans

o Whole grains

o Eggs

o Salmon

o Raw nuts

o Flax and pumpkin seeds

o Berries

o Dark greens

Salmon and greens also provide calcium for your teeth, so you’re helping your hair and teeth. Berries are high in cancer-preventing antioxidants, and dark greens also contain lutein, which halts blindness and cataracts. So when you eat all of the above, you’ll have a great hair day and look like you just had a day at a luxury spa.

In 2004, Dr. Nicholas Perricone’s bestselling book, THE PERRICONE PROMISE, outlined a diet for hair that differs from the 2003 recommendations. Perricone’s hair diet may seem as much of a fairy tale as Rapunzel. (Remember, though, Rapunzel’s mom wisely decided to eat greens during pregnancy!) Dr. Perricone’s top ten hair superfoods are no secret to health enthusiasts:

o Acai berries that contain powerful antioxidants

o Allium foods–onions, garlic, leeks, and shallots with powerful bioflavonoids

o Barley rich in niacin, which helps hair growth

o Wheatgrass, spirulina, and algae that cleanse the hair of toxins and provide essential fatty acids to build hair protein

o Buckwheat (eat your pancakes), which Perricone says is richer in vitamins, flavonoids, and minerals than other grains (except barley)

o Beans and lentils, for the same reasons as the 2003 study

o Hot peppers, which contain capsaicin that stops the pain so you don’t tear your hair out!

o Nuts and seeds, which contain essential proteins, phytochemicals and fatty acids to build healthy tresses sand reduce signs of aging

o Sprouts–they’re great for a youthful body, including the body in your hair

o Yogurt and kefir, which are said to promote longevity and health in people who live in the Caucasus Mountains in Russia–remember Julie Christie’s gorgeous hair in “Doctor Zhivago”?

While you can eat your way to healthy hair, many “hair formula” supplements crowd the market. In general, a multivitamin containing biotin, especially multivitamins for women, will strengthen your hair, skin and nails. Be sure to compare vitamin supplements, and make sure you don’t get an excess of vitamin D, which can lead to cancer as well as too much calcium that your body can’t process. Don’t count on supplements to save your hair.

Also, don’t expect to look like you’ve just stepped out of a hair commercial after changing your diet. You’ll start to see healthier hair three months after you improve your regimen. You can jazz up your beauty routine with juicing, dehydrating, and sprouting. Better nutrition will help color-treated hair maintain its bounce, too. And drinking water is always a great idea. You’re worth it!
