Guaranteed Hair

Hair color has become a common phenomenon. But what keeps on disturbing us is the safety side of hair color.

What are the side effects of hair color?To say about the side effects of hair color we have to say that proper guidance and after care do not affect your hair. So, it has no big side effects as it is thought. But, you should test or check whether you have an allergic reaction to the color you want to do. Never forget to do a patch test to see if you have any problem 24-48 hours before the process. You should also check your hair’s porosity and elasticity because on this criterion the life of hair color depends.

Types of hair color:There are three types of hair colors. Temporary hair colors, semi permanent colors and permanent colors. Duration and hair type determine which color will suits better. Temporary hair colors are the colors, which fade easily. It is basically light fashion colors. Within one month one shampoo can erase the color. For any party or special occasion light temporary hair color can be used.

Semi permanent hair colors last up to 4-5 shampoos. This type of hair colors usually used for coloring up hair because it lasts for a perfect time period. But, for coloring grey hairs you should use permanent hair colors. They help you to change the grey color and will make it normal looking hair with desired color. It is comparatively strong and durable.

How to maintain your hair color and hair?Temporary colors fade easily. So, they need a regular touch up and rinse. Color like wine red fades within one month and this type of hair color is easy to remove. So, regular touch up and rinse is important to maintain these colors. For grey hairs permanent hair colors need a touch up once in 20 days but it varies from man to man. Generally hair grows 1/2”-3/4” every month. So, redo your color if it fades away when ever it is necessary. Semi permanent hair color has mild effect. So, it is advised to apply this hair color for general use. Hair color should not be drastically different from your normal hair because it does not look good everywhere. But, if you want that kind of look then go for it and rinse every six months.

Always use shampoo and conditioner, which are exclusively recommended for colored hair because they increase the life of hair colors. To protect hair do not expose your hair in sun, dust, chlorine and sea immediate after the coloring.

Hair color styles:Color the whole hair with some light or dark color is very normal. Hairdressers usually tell customers to choose color, which fit their hair type and hair cut. Fair complexioned should choose bright color and dark complexioned choose light color. Now highlights and lowlights have been also popular. Coloring some portion with darker color comparing the existing hair color or with some lighter color is also very trendy. Apart from this multidimensional hair color can be done. Some demanding hair colors are blond, shades of bronze and brown.

Hair colors are not harmful but it is true it contains some chemicals and they are surely not good for hair texture and hair follicles. So, consult your beautician and color your hair.

The follicular unit was first defined by Headington in 1984.  He described an FU as consisting of “two to four terminal follicles, and one, or rarely two, vellus follicles, the associated sebaceous lobules, and the insertions of the arrector pili muscles… a single follicular unit is circumscribed by the investing stroma, the perifolliculum.” He went on to say that “the normal density of follicular units is about one per square millimeter.” (1) In the first paper on follicular unit hair transplantation, published in 1995 (2), Bernstein and Rassman used this definition of Headington.  Limmer, who had been referring to these naturally occurring groups as “stereoscopically assisted micrografts”(3) and Seager, who called them “follicular bundles” (4) soon began to use the term follicular unit as well. Limmer’s technique of using stereo-microscopic dissection, the backbone of follicular unit transplantation, required expensive equipment, special technical skills and was very labor-intensive.  Because of this and because many doctors at that time did not grasp the importance of microscopic dissection, or of even using follicular units in the hair transplant, other, more easily to perform procedures were being performed. Surprisingly, due to the increasing power of the internet, follicular unit transplantation became a buzz word in the hair loss chat groups more quickly than it was accepted by their doctors. (5)  This put significant pressure on hair restoration surgeons to learn about the new procedure and adopt its technology.  Although many quickly adapted their practices to perform FUT, others merely changed their marketing – some advertising that they performed follicular unit transplantation, even before buying microscopes. Partly as a response to the misrepresentation, but mainly to further the science, in 1998, a group of 21 hair transplant surgeons, that included Bob Bernstein, Bill Rassman, David Seager, Ron Shapiro, Jerry Cooley, O’Tar Norwood, Dow Stough, Mike Beehner, Jim Arnold, Bobby Limmer, Marc Avram, Bob McClellan, Paul Rose, Guillermo Blugerman, Marcelo Gandelman, Paul Cotterill, Bob Haber, Roy Jones, Jim Vogel, Ronald Moy and Walter Unger joined forces to write “Standardizing the classification and description of follicular unit transplantation and mini-micrografting techniques.” (6)In their words, the purpose of the publication was to “provide hair restoration surgeons with guidelines to . . .  facilitate communication among physicians, stimulate research, increase the accuracy by which hair transplant procedures can be represented to our patients and, ultimately, improve the quality of the care that we offer them.In the paper, the following definitions were agreed upon: Follicular Unit – The follicular unit of the adult human scalp is a naturally occurring entity that consists of 1-4, and occasionally 5, terminal hair follicles, 1, or rarely 2, vellus follicles, the associated sebaceous lobules, the insertions of the arrector pili muscles, its neural and vascular plexuses, and the fine adventitial collagen which surrounds, and defines, the unit (the perifolliculum).Follicular Unit Graft – A graft that is obtained by dissecting out the individual, naturally occurring follicular unit. This is also referred to as a follicular unit implant, a term which implies that (unlike most grafts) the ratio of hair/skin is greater in the follicular unit implant than in the original donor area, since some of the non-hair bearing tissue has been trimmed away in the dissection. Micrograft – A 1-2 hair graft. It may consist of naturally occurring one and two-hair follicular units or be derived from larger units which are subdivided. Minigraft – A 3-6 hair graft derived from either a single follicular unit, multiple follicular units, or multiple, partial follicular units. As suggested by Walter Unger, this may be further classified into small minigrafts of 3-4 hairs, and large minigrafts of 5-6 hairs. Slit-graft – A 3-6 hair graft derived from either multiple follicular units, or multiple, partial follicular units where the dissection technique specifically attempts to produce a linear arrangement of follicles, or follicular units. This may be further classified into small slit-grafts of 3-4 hairs, and large slit-grafts of 5-6 hairs.Follicular Unit Dissection – A technique in which naturally occurring, individual follicular units are dissected from donor tissue that has been removed as a single strip (rather than with a multi-bladed knife of more than two blades) in order to keep the follicular units intact. Some non-hair bearing tissue is removed to decrease the overall bulk of the implant. Stereo-microscopic dissection is required. Mini-Micrografts or Slit-grafts Cut to Size – A dissection technique whereby the donor strip is subdivided to produce grafts of specific sizes as defined by the number of hairs they contain and/or the size of tissue that will fit into a specific recipient site. The removal of excess skin is not required. The dissection can be performed with or without magnification and the donor tissue may be removed as a single strip or with a multi-bladed knife. Follicular Unit Transplantation – A method of hair restoration surgery where hair is transplanted exclusively in its naturally occurring, individual follicular units. Single strip harvesting and stereo-microscopic dissection are required. The grafts must be placed into small recipient incisions.  Mini-Micrografting – A method of hair transplantation which uses grafts containing 1-6 hairs, in groups that do not necessarily correspond to the naturally occurring follicular units. The recipient sites may be either incisions, excisions (tissue removed), or both.Two Terminology Extremes: Science vs. Marketing Soon after the publication, Seager suggested to add another term, the “Follicular Family Unit.” (7) To paraphrase Dr. Seager:           When dissecting follicular units, it is sometimes unclear as to which unit a seemingly “stray” hair belongs.  In other words, occasionally it is not completely obvious where one follicular unit ends, and an adjacent one begins. When one is specifically trying to create increased density, a stray hair would be included with an (unusually) close neighboring, larger follicular unit, containing possibly three hairs.  This technique would create a four-haired unit, when there may have been no four-haired units there at all.  One must find two separate units that look close enough to almost “belong together.”  If the two contiguous units are chosen correctly, the resulting unit can be very difficult, sometimes impossible, to distinguish from a naturally occurring follicular unit.  The key to success in this endeavor is the concept of the “Follicular Family Unit.”  If any (“non-family”) two-follicular units are randomly doubled up, the resulting graft will be more the size of a minigraft, rather than a micrograft.  It would need a larger recipient site, which would preclude dense packing because of both technical planting limitations and impairment of scalp vasculature.  If, on the other hand, despite their larger size, they are forced into minute micrograft-sized recipient sites; they would be traumatized during attempts at insertion. Although the term “follicular family unit” was introduced to account for the variability in the anatomy of the follicular unit and to take advantage of these variations in the surgery, other terms were not necessarily based on purely scientific considerations.   A blatant misrepresentation of the term follicular unit was “Follicular Unit Coupling – The Role of Slot Grafting in Hair Transplantation.” (8)  In this case, the author attached the new term to the original slot grafting method.  This was a technique that used slit grafts harvested with a multi-bladed knife and then cut into thin pieces and placed into large slots of skin removed with a rectangular punch.  The term was new and a marketing campaign followed, but the technique was the same as the original one, with no-attempt whatsoever to use, or preserve, follicular units. Between these extremes, is the ongoing struggle to describe what we do in a clear, precise way – in the face of ever evolving concepts and techniques, and an ever increasing number of terms.  The issue at hand is to be able to distinguish which terms are adding to the science and which are just blurring it.  Making Sense of the FU SaladFrom the opening list of acronyms, all used at the recent ISHRS meeting, it seems that we again need to step back and examine the new terms, to see which represent distinct ideas or techniques and which are, perhaps, redundant.  What follows is a first-pass attempt at sorting out the six terms that, in our opinion, are the most confusing, and have the most overlap. They come in two groups: The first is FU Coupling, FU pairing, Double FUs (DFUs) and Multiple FUs (MFUs). The second group includes FUE and FIT.With respect to the first group, we think that there are two distinct situations that doctor’s are trying to communicate with these terms. The first is the technique of placing two separately dissected follicular unit grafts into one recipient site.  This is distinct from the commonly used term “Doubling-up” which many doctors have used to refer to placing two micrografts in one site.  Our suggestion is to use the term FU pairing to refer to the technique of placing two separately isolated follicular units into one recipient site.  We suggest discarding the term FU Coupling as it has been incorrectly associated with slit grafting procedures in past literature and its use will be confusing. The second situation is when a doctor places two (or more) follicular units, that have not been separated in the dissection, into one hole.  In our view, this is clearly not follicular unit transplantation. The reason is that a main advantage of FUT was that in isolating FUs one would remove some of the non-hair bearing skin between FUs, to decrease the bulk of the graft. This, in turn, would allow the doctor to use a smaller recipient site, create less wounding, allow for safely transplanting a larger number of grafts in a single session etc, etc.  Using multiple non-dissected follicular units, in our view, creates a larger wound and accomplishes none of these goals.We are not suggesting that doctors should abandon this technique. Some excellent surgeons incorporate these grafts into their procedures.  We are merely suggesting that it not be called FUT.  Well then what should one call them?  Our answer is to call them what they have always been called, namely micro-grafts, mini-grafts and slit grafts. If one argues that they are now different due to the use of the stereo-microscope, then we agree.  In this case, the grafts should be called microscopically dissected micro-grafts, mini-grafts and slit grafts, to communicate the fact that follicular transection may be avoided.  But these are still not follicular unit grafts any more than a pedicle flap is follicular unit transplantation.  To avoid confusion, we suggest eliminating the terms DFUs and MFUs. So what should we call eyebrow transplants? According to the technique used by most hair restoration surgeons, where they divide up the donor strip into single hairs, it should be called one-hair micrografting.  If one uses the contra-lateral eyebrow for donor hair, then this can truly be referred to as FUT.    FUE and FIT The increased transection rate of FUE harvesting techniques that use a sharp punch (relative to single-strip harvesting and stereomicroscopic dissection) had some doctors immediately question whether this procedure should be classified as a type of follicular unit transplantation. (9)  With the introduction of the blunt dissection technique by Harris, that significantly decreased damage to follicles and increased the preservation of follicular units, the argument for classifying FUE as a type of FUT is considerably stronger – but certainly not bullet-proof – since in some cases significant transection remains and in others the entire follicular unit cannot be captured. (10)The Follicular Isolation Technique (FIT), is a term used by Cole and Rose that refers to an FUE technique that uses a punch with a “stop” to limit the depth of penetration. Although these authors and other physicians question the need for a depth-stop in the extraction technique, FIT is possibly a better term than FUE if the entire unit is not being captured.  In our view, when the goal is just to extract hair, rather than intact follicular units, the term FIT is preferable.Conclusion In sum, these authors suggest that the following four terms and definitions be added to the original classification. Follicular Family Unit  Two closely contiguous follicular units that are dissected as one graft, so that they can fit into the same size recipient site as the largest naturally occurring follicular unit normally used in the procedure.FU pairing  The technique of placing two separately isolated follicular units into one recipient site.  FUE  Direct donor extraction procedures where the intent is to extract the entire follicular unit. If a depth stop is used, this should be indicated.FIT  Direct extraction procedures where the intent is to extract individual or multiple hairs smaller than the entire follicular unit. (In other words, the direct extraction of micro-grafts.) If a depth stop is used, this should be indicated. Micro-grafts, mini-grafts and slit grafts that have been dissected microscopically to prevent follicular transection should be referred to just that, namely: microscopically dissected micro-grafts, mini-grafts and slit grafts.  These authors do not feel that these procedures should be classified as a type of follicular unit transplantation.  We also suggest that the terms FU Coupling, DFUs and MFUs are confusing and should be abandoned.  References1.    Headington JT: Transverse microscopic anatomy of the human scalp.

Among the difficulties associated with hair removal, ingrown hairs are certainly the most frustrating and pernicious. The common objective of hair removal is to show off your lovely, smooth skin. However, if the hair you remove is replaced by the unattractive, often puss-filled blemishes that ingrown hairs create, you will be no better off than when you started. On top of this, ingrown hairs will also cause you discomfort and even acute pain. Fortunately, there are hair removal options out there that carry no risk of creating ingrown hairs. So if you do your research first, it’s easy to remove unwanted facial and body hair without finding yourself at the mercy of ingrown hairs.

Some hair removal procedures risk ingrown hairs and some hair removal procedures do not. Shaving is widely recognized as the most common cause of ingrown hairs. This is why ingrown hairs are also commonly known as razor bumps. Of course there are techniques out there that will help reduce the number of ingrown hairs that shaving will cause, but if you are really adamant about avoiding ingrown hairs altogether, the safest solution is to look for alternatives to shaving. In fact, permanent facial hair removal techniques are often sought out for just this reason.

Shaving is not the only hair removal option that can create ingrown hairs. Waxing also carries the risk. Just as the razor cuts into the hair, waxing often rips the hair in half. In both cases, if the hair has been cut or ripped off at an awkward angle it will grow back into the skin and create an ingrown hair. While the risk of ingrown hairs with waxing is not as great as with shaving, waxing is considered just as problematic because people often turn to waxing when they want to target the bikini area or other parts of the body where ingrown hairs would be particularly unwelcome. Curling hair areas are the hair growth regions at the highest risk for ingrown hairs. This means that for many men and women, the pubic region and the underarms must be treated with special care. The back is also known as a particularly painful area for ingrown hairs, which is one reason permanent back hair removal is so sought after–people grow tired of dealing with the pain and annoyance every time they shave or wax their backs.

Unlike shaving and waxing, laser hair removal will keep you safe from ingrown hairs. Among the many advantages of laser hair removal is the fact it enables you to eliminate unwanted hair growth without having to worry about ingrown hairs becoming a problem. Because laser hair removal never cuts the hair, but instead acts upon the “root” of the follicle itself, there is no risk of the hair growing back in an awkward “ingrown” manner. What you want is a permanent hair removal solution. Because laser hair removal ends the growth of the targeted hair altogether, ingrown hairs will not even have a chance to grow in the first place.

In fact, because laser hair removals stops hair growth, it is considered one of the most effective treatments for ingrown hairs. An ingrown hair targeted by a hair removal laser will no longer be a problem, a source of discomfort, or unsightly. Other treatments, such as applying a warm, moist washcloth to the area, are only stop-gap solutions because the ingrown hair can always come back the next time you shave or wax. What is really needed is a permanent body hair removal solution. Laser hair removal stops ingrown hairs in their tracks for good.

GHD hair straightener is perfect for straightening your hair. A hair straightener changes the curly hair by heat. It heats the curly unruly hair and changes its hydrogen bonds. The moisturizing elements and natural water of hair shafts become dry and hair gets that straight look. But if your hair has an attachment of water then the hydrogen bond breaks and hair gets back its curly look. It restores the moisture and become curly.GHD hair straighteners are fully secured and safe. Just judge the authenticity of your hair straightener. Do not go after any cheap hair straightener as it can damage your hair, can change its chemical and biological ingredients. Any kind of heating appliance can cause hair fall and damages to your lovely hair. For hair straightener there are lots of variations like Ceramic, ionic, tourmaline and infrared hair straighteners. Each one has different types of work functions. Basically ceramic and tourmaline are used as coating materials for the plates of the particular styling tools. Both materials produce negative ions when it is heated the application. Now you have to be sure that this ceramic plates are properly coated. This is because the hair straightener iron then can create less damage and hair fall. GHD hair straightener irons have ceramic heaters, which are of the same size of the ceramic plates. This same sizing ensures that the plates are got to heat evenly and create no hot spots on your hair. For your hair it is very much important. GHD hair straightener has advanced ceramic heaters and aluminum or platinum plates. These metals are smooth and very good conductor of heat that is why it gives a style which is static free and shiny.These unique ceramic heaters are double plated and platinum or aluminum wires are embedded in between the plates and fired at 1400 degree centigrade. It can also fix the temperature. Its floating plates eliminates frizzy ness of hair and make it smooth, silky and shiny. Any type of hair can have straight hair touch.Again the built in microprocessor of a GHD hair straightener iron regulates the temperature 5 times a second and that is why it is completely unique. The flashing of LED light indicates the temperature. A Ghd also has a control circuitry, which can help the irons to retain the maximum amount of heat while your hair is being styled. A good hair straightening iron can protect your hair and even its ceramic heaters can improve the quality of hair. So avoid any other heating appliance than GHD. It can cause sever damage to your hair. Again use this only when it is needed because unnecessary usage of this appliance may create brittle and split hair. On some special occasion you can apply this or if you have to apply this regularly then use it with proper care. It exerts pressure and it can cause weakness to your hair shafts. Oil your hair and massage it before straightening your hair. Other hair care products and hair protective products are also needful to maintain your hair.

The summer season is not much a friendly season for your hair. Just like the dry winter you need to take some special protective measures for your hair during the summer also. The summer sun and the humidity also cause a lot of damage for your hair. Thus with the advent of summer a number of hair problems starts cropping up. Making the hair dry, frizzy, brittle and with split ends. Therefore with the advent of summer we must start giving special care towards our hair before it’s too late.

The most crucial step for proper hair care during the summer is to follow some steps of hair care regimen to prevent the damage caused by the UV rays of the sun and the humidity of the weather. Following are some tips for a protective hair care during the summer.

1.The primary step to protect the hair from the UV rays of the sun is to wear a straw hat or a scarf before stepping out into the sun. This will mitigate the direct exposure of the hair to the sun. While using a scarf remember to keep it loose enough to allow scalp circulation.

2.Try to avoid the direct exposure to the sun as much as possible. You can also keep it knotted or wear a bun to avoid the total exposure to sun.

3.It is always better to have a short hairstyle during the summer. Not only that it helps in keeping your hair better but also it is much helpful as you are away of the excess burden of hair during the summer.

4.Whenever you need to stay for a long time in the sun always use a sunscreen to the hair before stepping out in the sun.

5.It may be that your hair may get somewhat damaged in spite of taking protecting measures. In that case you may use some hair repair mask specially made for sun damage. Choose the one suitable for your hair type and hair texture.

6.Always try to avoid additional heat to your hair. It is strongly recommended to keep away from hair dryers or curlers, or other such tools that uses heat technology for styling your hair. Hot water hair wash should also be avoided so that your hair may not get damaged by the heat.

7.Using alcohol to the hair makes the hair frizzy and dry. Therefore it is required that instead of using products with alcohol try to use some natural ones.

8.The heat during the summer makes the hair deprived of moisture. On the other hand shampooing on daily basis does similar harm to the hair. Therefore it is recommended to use some moisturizing shampoo instead of a normal one.

9.Try to use some powder treatment to your hair instead of shampooing regularly. Sprinkle some baby powder on your hair and comb it.

10.Deep conditioning of the hair is much of a necessity. Therefore after each shampoo don’t forget to use some deep conditioning treatment to your hair.

11.As the body looses a lot of water, therefore it becomes necessary to drink a lot of water and to keep your hair hydrated as far as possible.

Now with all these tips it is true that you can easily beat the heat of the sun. And the thing that should always be kept in mind that, taking preventive measures is always of much help rather than the after care of the hair when the hair has already got damaged.

HAIR MAINTENANCE

There are a few things you can do on a regular basis that will improve the overall health and appearance of your hair, as well as a few things you can avoid. In general, here’s a few standards:

Brush your hair: Yep, the good old fashioned hundred strokes. This stimulates blood supply to the scalp, removes dead skin cells from the scalp before they can get infected, and distributes sebum over the hair shaft for moisturizing and protection. Bend over from the waist and hang limply while doing some of the brushing. Use a natural bristle brush or other gentle brush. Be careful and don’t hurry. Better to go slow and only get 30 strokes in, than go fast and risk breaking or pulling out your hair. Get into the habit of brushing your hair thoroughly before washing it.

Massage your scalp: Before you stop to groom and brush your hair during the day, make a point of doing a quick scalp massage first. Slip your fingers into your hair, and using just the pads of your fingers, massage in small circular motions over your scalp. Using your finger pads will keep you from breaking your hair, scratching your scalp and messing up your style too much. Then restyle, re-spray (if you use it) and go…

Break Day: Get into the habit of giving your hair a break once a week. It is not necessary to wash your hair every day (unless you are a teenager, have a dirty job or work up a real sweat every day). If you are over the age of 20, and do not have any rashes or infections (like dandruff), give your hair a break for a whole day. Pick a day where you normally do not go out, or just do housework and run errands. Do not wash with shampoo and do not heat style. If you just feel too grubby and must do something, after brushing your hair thoroughly to distribute the sebum, simply wet your hair, apply a little daily conditioner to the ends, rinse well, and then pull back into a “wet look” ponytail or bun. Give your hair a break from shampooing once a week, and whenever possible, from blow-drying and heat styling.

Conditioning Treatments: Unless you have very fine, limp hair, get into the habit of applying a deep conditioning treatment to your hair once a week. Deep conditioners are not the same as daily conditioners, and homemade preparations work really well. Coconut oil is especially good for hair conditioning. Brush your hair, wash it lightly, and then towel dry. Apply your deep conditioner and then wrap your head in a heated towel to open the hair cuticle and allow the conditioner to soak in. Leave for 10 minutes to half and hour. Then rinse thoroughly in warm water to remove the conditioner residue that remains, then cool water to close the hair cuticle. Rinsing your hair in cool water can be a little uncomfortable, but it can do amazing things for the appearance of your hair. It closes the hair cuticle close to the shaft, which increases shine and manageability, and helps to keep hair strong. A mixture of cool water and lemon juice is even better for shine and strength (a half of a teaspoon of lemon juice in two quarts of cool water is sufficient).

Daily Conditioner: Get into the habit of applying a daily conditioner to hair ends every time you shampoo. This will reduce slit ends, discoloration when coloring, damage when heat styling and reduce the need for frequent trims. Use a product designed for thermal styling if you frequently blow-dry, use a curling iron or hot rollers.

Haircuts: Get into the habit of getting your hair trimmed when it needs to be. Again, this reduces split ends and keeps excess weight off your hair (which can cause breakage). About once every 8 weeks is right for shoulder length or longer hair, once every 6 weeks for shorter styles.

Up-Dos: Yep, that’s right – if you have long hair and want to keep it that way – put your hair up when possible. I’m not suggesting you look like an librarian every day, but one of the reasons that women grew such long beautiful hair back in the “old days” is because they wore it up all the time. The weight of your hair can stimulate the start of the telogen phase. When hair is weighed down and very long, it stops growing and falls out, or simply breaks off. Putting your hair up frequently will keep that weight off the root of the hair. You can pin it up gently with bobby pins or a banana clip when running errands, doing housework, cooking dinner, doing yard work, messing around on your computer, watching TV, etc. Now, this depends on your hair style and hair length. If you have a short hairstyle, this step is not only unnecessary – it’s impossible. However, if you have shoulder length or longer hair, and want it to be as thick and healthy looking as possible, make it a point to put it up and keep the weight off your scalp. The other upside is that it will help keep the hair out of dinner.

How to Wash Your Hair

Believe it or not, there is a right way to wash your hair. Treat it like the finest silk! If you’ve ever made the mistake of running a pair of expensive silk hose through your washing machine, you’ll know what I mean.

Here a few tips for avoid causing any excess damage to your hair while washing it:

Let your hair hang naturally when you wash it; either standing in the shower or with your head leaning over the bath, or in a shampoo sink. NEVER – NEVER – NEVER – pile it up on your head to wash.

Wet your hair with warm water (not hot) to prepare it for shampooing. Keep the pressure on the showerhead gentle enough to avoid excess water pressure on your hair.

Pour shampoo into the palm of your hand.

Work the shampoo into a lather in your hand, and apply to your scalp. Work the shampoo into your scalp all over your head by massaging with your fingertips (not your fingernails). Move fingers from one area of your head to the other by lifting the fingers and then placing them elsewhere on your head. Do NOT drag them through your hair. Remember, hair is the most vulnerable to damage and breakage when it is wet. If your hair is particularly dirty or oily, you can work the shampoo through to the ends. If your hair is very dry or processed, you may just want to wash your scalp, and let the shampoo pick up any dirt or oil on the ends as it’s rinsed out.

Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water. Ensure that you allow it to hang naturally. You may spread it out gently with your fingertips if it’s long and needs extra help getting out the shampoo.

If you chose to use a rinse-out conditioner, this is the time. Unlike shampooing, apply conditioners to the ends of your hair, and if your hair is generally dry, apply the remainder on your hands gently to the roots. Repeat the rinse.

Towel dry gently. The new hair towel wraps are excellent, keep hair in place and aren’t heavy like a towel wrap so there’s less risk of breakage to your hair.

Once hair is towel-dried you can apply a leave-in conditioner.

ALWAYS comb wet hair with a wide-tooth comb- NEVER brush wet hair.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER sleep on wet hair – it is vulnerable when wet, and can break easily as you turn on your pillow. Even if it doesn’t break, it roughs up the cuticle and makes it look dull.

Air dry hair whenever possible.

With just a little care and attention, you can have the lush and lovely locks you deserve. Treat your hair like the finest silk and it will reward you with shine, body and brilliance.

Hair brush is one of the most essential tools every person, man or woman, should have. Hair brush helps dealing with tangles and bed hair look; to some extend it even solves the problem of hair styling.

But the greatest thing that can be done with a hair brush is keeping our hair naturally moisturized as you transfer natural skin oil from the roots to the tips of the hair when brushing.

To help your hair grow healthy and shiny, you should brush your hair every day with careful gentle strokes that decrease the friction and smooth the hair scales. Harsh and rough brushing will only increase the damage to your hair. Moreover, such brushing increases the amount of pulled out hairs in two times.

The use of proper hair brush is essential for sedu hairstyles as it helps to avoid unnecessary damage, eliminates static electricity, and adds shine and smoothness to the hair. There are several hair brushes that should be at hand when creating and maintaining your sedu hairstyles:

1.Wide-toothed comb for detangling hair after and before washing. Every time you are preparing to wash your hair you should make a detangling first. This will help you lessen the risk of mechanical damage during washing and make the after-washing detangling easier, thus eliminating more mechanical damage. Such combs should be of antistatic material, so read labels carefully and make sure you won’t harm your hair with poor quality product.

2.Fine-toothed tailed comb for styling. You should use this comb when making heat straightening using a flat iron. Just follow the flat iron with fine-toothed comb to make sure that there are no tangles and frizz left in your hair after straightening. The tail of the comb will be handy in creating prom hair styles and dividing hair in separate tresses for straightening;

3.Massaging wooden hair brush that will help you to massage scalp after you detangled the hair and are preparing to sleep. Usage of this brush at least twice a week will help you increase the blood circulation in the scalp and improve the state of the hair cuticle after a couple of months of usage;

4.Boar bristle round brush for styling. This hair brush is a must for short to medium hair styles. It helps to obtain neat and sleek hairstyle. Boar bristles eliminate frizz and add shine to your hair;

5.Ceramic styling hair brush is good for medium to long hair styles because it helps to manage long hair and eliminate static electricity. You will be even able to create soft waves that will frame your face and make it look gorgeous.

The above mentioned hair combs and brushes should be of high quality so that your hair won’t suffer from the harmful materials and faulty workmanship. It is also recommended to wash combs with warm water at least once in two months in order to eliminate product built up.

To make correct brushing, follow these simple rules:

1.Before washing the hair, use a wide-toothed comb. If you have a long hair, start from the tips and move gently to the top of the hair. Do not pull the hair or comb too energetically, or you will lose healthy and mature hairs that hold firmly in your scalp. If your hair style is short just move brush through the hair from roots to the tips to eliminate frizz and arrange your hair before washing;

2.After washing DO NOT brush the hair while it is still wet. The hair should be at least dump when you start to detangle it, or you are sure to lose more healthy hairs. Do not be afraid to see hairs on the brush as long as you don’t feel any pain from their pulling off. It is a natural process of hair growth when up to 100 hairs are falling out every day to spare the place for new and young hair.

3.If you are using blow dryer quite often, you should use round brushes of 100 per cent boar bristle for styling of the short hair, and ceramic round brushes for styling of the long hair. Such brushes will make it easier for you to style the hair, add shine to your hair, and help you to arrange the hair into any style from spikes to soft sedu waves.

4.If you are using a flat iron, you should start straightening from the bottom of the hair. Separate the bottom layer of the hair from the top layers, and pin up the top layers using tail of the fine-toothed comb. Straighten the bottom layer of the hair, and proceed with the upper layers until you are finished. Every time you apply flat iron to the separate tresses follow the flat iron with the comb to make sure that there are no tangles left.

5.Before going to bed, apply massaging brush. Detangle the hair first, and then gently brush the hair, especially the root area to improve blood circulation and allow your head to relax after the long day of styled hair. You will see positive results of such technique just after a couple of months. Your hair will look healthier and shinier, your scalp will receive more nourishment through improved blood circulation, and if you have problems with hair falling out, they will be diminished.

So, hair brushing is the separate science, and knowledge of its rules will help you decrease the amount of money you spend on hair care products. Moreover, the state of your hair health will improve dramatically and your hairstyle will receive the status of the Sedu hairstyle because of the natural shine and smoothness of your hair.
