2011 Fall Hairstyles

by


After an entire summer of messy hairstyles, the sleeker hairstyles are back. This fall is going to be the season of flirty hairstyles and soft locks. These hairstyles will be easy to maintain and fun to play with. Natural beauty really is the hottest thing this season.

 

Hair colors are going to be natural this season. The season of bright, artificial colors has passed with the summer’s sun. This season will be about the natural shine of your hair. Hair dying will always be popular, but this season will see more warm natural colors. Expect a lot of warm brown tones, reds and soft blondes. Highlights this season will be as popular as ever, but this season will see more natural highlights, rather than the more frequently seen chunky highlights of the summer.

 

The refined pony tail will be the hottest hair style this fall. This hair styles keeps your hair out of the way, provides body and allows for a lot of play. The loose braid will also be a hot style for longer hair. This can be accented with ribbons or other things to spice up an outfit and add a bit of a flirtation to the hair. Pair this with the thick bangs of this season for a flirty and soft look that can be used for work and pleasure.

 

Twisting and pinning your hair back is becoming one of the hottest and is certainly one of the easiest ways to create an eloquent look. This can be done with a simple barrette or bobby pin. Feathers are still the hottest hair accessories, and feather clips are becoming very popular. These feather clips can be used instead of the feather hair extensions since it may not always be practical to wear feathers in your hair.

 

Curls are still as hot as ever. This season the curls are loose and soft, instead of tight. This can be done with a relaxant that is applied professionally. This can help to prevent the hair from becoming too strait. For those who have straight hair, using a straightener to maintain that sleek look is important. Some hair products will often be necessary to achieve these looks.

Healthy, Sexy Nails with These 5 Easy Tips

by

So you want your nails to look healthy, sexy, and vibrant and to be strong and not have those nasty white spots – which is caused by zinc deficiency – huh? Well the good news is that there are some really simple tricks and healthy nail tips that you can easily incorporate into your daily regiment that can allow for you to more easily enjoy the nails that you so desire. Alongside of taking care of your nails the best that you can, there are some easy ways to keep them looking gorgeous. Our nails are a very noticeable external amenity. So do them justice and take good care of them with these simple healthy nail tips.

  1. Hydrate your nails every evening. That’s right! Nails need some hydrating in order to look their best. An easy way to accomplish this is to massage small amounts of petroleum jelly or castor oil into the cuticles before you go to bed each night.
  2. Eat more eggs and drink more milk. A glass of milk and a hard boiled egg once per day will allow for your body to absorb more zinc. This helps keep your nails strong and healthy, and allows for you to avoid those white spots, which are usually attributed to a zinc deficiency.
  3. Vitamin B and biotin for healthy, super strong nails. Some recent studies suggest that persons who consume biotin and vitamin B have nails that are as much as 50% stronger than persons who don’t.
  4. Toss out polish removers that contain acetone or formaldehyde, which can cause some serious damage to your nails. Instead, use a milder remover that contains acetate.
  5. Always wear strong rubber gloves when cleaning. Those industrial-grade cleaners can wreak havoc on your delicate nails.

Enjoy These Beverages Daily for Healthy, Moisturized Hair

I am back and I have some more hair tips for you that can easily help you to avoid dry and dull looking hair that is caused by dehydration. Sometimes the answer to keeping your hair moisturized is actually a whole heck of a lot easier than we may think that it would be at first glance. The reality is that our hair health will often reflect the type of diet that we keep. So your hair will also benefit from drinking different types of beverages. Similar to that old time adage of we are what we eat, our hair is also what we drink. Fortunately, there are some tasty beverages that you can enjoy adding to your daily regiment that will allow for you to enjoy increased hair moisture.

Juices, veggie drinks and fruit smoothies: These drinks not only taste great and deliver daily allowances of our recommended fruit and veggies, but they are great for your hair, too. Juices, veggie drinks and smoothies are jam packed with helpful minerals and vitamins for great hair. Just watch the calories on the smoothies, because they can be high-calorie beverages.

Water should be a staple for you. Our bodies are made up of mostly water. So no surprise here that our hair is made up from this primary ingredient to life as well. Drinking filtered water is a great way to keep your entire body hydrated, especially your hair. Sometimes something as simple as drinking your recommended daily amounts of water each day can do the trick for keeping your hair healthy and moisturized.

Teas that are loaded with antioxidants will do wonders for your hair. One popular tea that comes right to mind is green tea. Antioxidants have been shown to eradicate harmful free-radicals; damaged cells that contribute to the signs of aging and disease. These same cells also play culprit to aging hair. So drink up, it’s tea time!

Want Great Hair? Simple Brushing Tips Offered by a Master

by

Who doesn’t want fabulous hair? I do, I do! When I used to have really long hair, I always knew that the better I could take care of my locks, the sexier that it would look. Believe it for not, most men with longer hair really do spend some serious time thinking about their hair and how they can better take care of it so that it really shines. Of course, some guys just don’t care no matter how long their hair is, but for the most part this is the reality. So with good hair brushing tips in mind, I started scouring the web seeking out places that would offer us some helpful tips. I came across a salon in Soho, NY, that’s owned by a very reputable hair stylist, Mario Diab. He has some wonderful hair brushing tips to offer on his site.

Hair Brushing tips by Hair Expert Mario Diab

  • Make sure to always brush starting from the root and working your way to the tip of your hair. This way you can more evenly spread the oils that your hair naturally produces.
  • A Mason Pearson brush is the recommended best hair brush because it works to increase the flow of blood by stimulating the scalp.
  • If you have tangled hair, use a wide tooth comb, it’s an easy way to untangle that hair.

How to Deal with Split Ends:

  • Avoid combing your hair too much or washing it too much because it will actually cause it to be over dry or frizzy by stripping natural moisture from the hair.
  • Don’t use too much heat on your hair and refrain from overly processing it as well.
  • If you do notice too many split ends, your best bet is to get your hair trimmed.
  • When sleeping, try using pillow cases made from satin; they will reduce knotting or breakage because they don’t create as much friction.
