Hair care tips

Beautiful Hair is an asset for any woman. Some are gifted with naturally beautiful hair while others have

to really work hard on it. But essentially everybody has to work on hair either for improving or for

maintaining them.

Here are some tips to manage your Crowning Glory.

Hair Wash

The best way of washing hair is with Aritha and Shikakai Powder. It does not have any chemicals or

any other side effects. Aritha and Shikakai powder is available at any General stores or even a banyan shop.

Shampoos

Dry Hair - Egg, Herbal shampoo or any shampoo for dry hair.

Normal Hair - For normal hair fruit shampoos or henna shampoo is good.

Oily Hair - Lemon Shampoo

Hair Oil

Oil your hair at least once in a week. If you have dry hair then oil it twice a week. Hair oil gives the

necessary moisturizers to your hair. Herbal hair oil provides you the necessary nourishment along with the moisturizers.

Hair Conditioners

Henna - Henna conditions and colours your hair.

Dry hair - Add some milk, water and 1-2egg yolks in henna. This mixture will not dry your hair and will make it soft and manageable. Apply it monthly.

Normal to Oily Hair %u2013 Add water, lemon, egg yolks in henna. You can apply Henna fortnightly.

Home made conditioners

Add ¼ cup of vinegar in ½ bucket of water. This will give a good shine to your hair. Mix curds and egg yolks together and apply it for 1 hour.

Hair Tonics

Try tonic Hair Oil’s powder - Put 4 tsp of this powder in water, boil it and after cooling down apply it on hair. This will stop hair loss, rejuvenate and nourish your hair.

Quick-fix Hair Tips

If you want instant luster just before a big night, beat an egg without the yolk, squeeze half a lemon into it and apply to hair avoiding the scalp than rinse and wash in another half an hour. Be sure to give your hair a last rinse with some rose water because we don’t want you going out smelling like an egg.

Henna soaked in water of used tea bags, coffee powder, amla powder and onion peels can make for a excellent conditioner giving your hair the much needed boost.

There are a dozen of hair accessories available in the market today. Use clips, pins and bands to give your hair a different style and an added touch of color.

Makeover Madness

Makeovers on the Today Plaza!

I must admit I was tossing and turning most of Thursday night. Friday morning was the first of my new “Heads Up” Ambush Makeover series for the Today show. I had to find two people from the crowd that stands around the plaza who wanted “live time” makeovers.

Live time means all the action takes place in real time. Everything has to work perfectly. There is no time for redo’s. What you see is what you get. This means I have about three hours to pick the models, color and style their hair, have their make up done, and then dress the women. The whole process is like a cross between online and speed dating. You “meet and greet” your date in a public place, in this case the plaza of the Today show. If they seem to be nice and you want to know them better, you arrange for another meeting, or in this situation, a makeover. You never really know what your are getting into, but whoever wanted a boring life, anyway!

Hair Magazines Help with Ultimate Makeovers

Television shows work what look like miracles with real-life folks. The message: subtle changes won’t cut it when it comes to the makeover. Clients want bigger, bolder. In fact, the more metamorphic, the better.

Do the makeover right and not only will you get a client for life, you’ll have the most powerful promotional tool in the world: mind-blowing before and after photos with dozens of uses.

Magical transformations start and end with the right model. Frances DuBose, owner of London Hair in Charleston and Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, built her reputation on incredible changes long before they became hot. She says finding someone who photographs well is the number one priority.

The Right Red

1. Begin the highlights on the right side, about one inch behind the hairline, at the temple area. Using diagonal partings, create two back-to-back sliced foils. Skip as much hair as is foiled and repeat. Then move across the top, repeating the application pattern until you reach the opposite side, at the left temple.

2. Skip about an inch-and-a half to two inches of hair behind the foils. Then repeat the application pattern across the crown.

3. Drop down to the right side of the nape. Leaving out the hairline, repeat the application pattern, working from behind the right ear to behind the left ear.

4. Apply the retouch formula to the regrowth of the unfoiled hair.

5. Apply the end refresher from midshaft to ends of the unfoiled hair.

6. Once the application is complete (about 10 minutes), process for 20 minutes, shampoo and condition.

7. Apply the toner all over, process for 20 minutes, rinse and condition with a cuticle sealer and color protectant.

The Right Red Makeover

Crimson Tide

Younger women are apt to try home color and have their friends help with highlights. Once they see the results, especially with reds, you get to show them the power of professional color.

Any time you get the chance to make a salon-color convert, you have to step up your game. All-over color and a few highlights just won’t do. Here, a natural Level 4 ended up with muddied home color and a few highlights. Her intense green eyes and pale skin tones make a cool, vibrant violet the perfect choice. Next to shade selection, little matters more than placement.
