Tips on how to avoid split ends:

• Keep off vent brushes with plastic bristles. These can make promote damage by splitting through the hair. On dry hair, purchase a wide brush with a foam pad. Since wet hair is more sensitive to tearing, comb it lightly with a wide-tooth comb.
• Try not to shampoo every day if you have dry hair. On off-days, just scrub your scalp with your fingers in the shower and put on conditioner.
• Protect hair when blow drying. Applying a leave-in conditioner is better.
• Schedule a trim every six to eight weeks to get rid of damaged ends.

Dear Hairlaloo,
What can I do about my damaged hair? I have ugly split ends and tangled up hair. I will declare that I really like to highlight my hair and I love the outcomes of straightening and curling my hair. But the bad thing is it could be causing my hair catastrophe. What should I do?

-Rose

Hello Rose,
You mean your hair is hard as stainless steel drums now? You need to trim or cut the split ends and deep conditioning treatments and the highlighting procedure done by a professional. It may be a bit costly to go to a salon but if you find a hairstylist who is good at keeping hair bouncing, you will be happy with your hair.

It is sad that most of us take our hair for granted. Only if when we are faced with losing it do we realize how distinguished it is to our self-esteem. It’s our “crowning glory” after all and we characterize ourselves by its color.

We have “bad hair days” that put us in a depression sometimes, but the really bad hair day starts the morning we wake to see bunches of hair on the pillow.

Hair loss may be caused by the uncommon autoimmune disorder, alopecia areata; but more usually, hair loss is a side effect of definite cancer treatments. If you are scheduled to get chemotherapy or radiation therapy, ask your doctor about hair loss. Hair often grows back after high-dose radiation, but it just about surely will return after chemotherapy.

That might sound like cold ease when a diagnosis of cancer has already dealt you plenty challenges. But once you’ve come to terms with the new direction your life is taking, why not decide to put some color and fun into your over all appearance? Here’s your luck to play with some new accessories and attempt a different look or two.

Apple cider vinegar is one of the most known and useful home aids for dandruff. A natural antiseptic that grooms and brushes up the scalp, and it also assists to alleviate itching.

For a pre-wash treatment, put on one-quarter to one-third cup (60 to 80 ml) apple cider vinegar to the scalp and rub down in. Leave it on from 5 minutes to an hour before shampooing; then wash hair as usual.

After shampooing, wash hair with a solution of one-part apple cider vinegar to one-part water. This mixture will fight the effects of strong water and leave hair fleecy and glossy.

Apply either of these treatments everyday until dandruff is under control. To keep from flare-ups, go along the treatment roughly once a week.

Try out with various treatments and frequency until you find the combination that works best. We never know, you will be ready for your pre-employment screening and you’ll be reaching for your deary navy-blue shirt in no time. Good luck!

Regular shampooing will aid facilitate dandruff by washing away dead skin cells. Pick out a mild product that’s free of sulphates and tough cleansing agents. Lightly massage shampoo into the whole scalp with the fingertips to loosen flakes and wash thoroughly so no follicle-clogging substance is left behind.

Numerous all-natural brands have produced products especially for dandruff victims with these healing ingredients:

• Tea tree oil – comforts the scalp with its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory attributes.
• Ginger – a strong stimulant that will loosen and aid shed collected flakes.
• Herbs like thyme, burdock, lavender, and rosemary – are all good to the skin and hair.

Itching, flaking, and the frightening feeling that comes with wearing color black tops – it may not be life alarming, but dandruff can sure enough be an awkward condition.

Dandruff is quite usual. Those flakes are merely dead skin cells produced when the body’s natural shedding activity becomes hyperactive. An excessively oily scalp is commonly to be at fault. Less ordinary is dandruff caused by the blocked oil glands of a very dry scalp, giving the hair a boring and dead quality appearance.

The good news is that most dandruff is not dangerous. In fact, it is cushy to handle with a trip to your wellness food store while doing your daily bodybuilding supplements shopping, and lots of consistency and patience.

Dear Hairlaloo,
I have a photo shoot coming up next month for my anti wrinkle treatments gig , and I want to make my hair curly. My only problem is, it does not stay curly. I need it to be nice and curly and stay that way for, at least, two to three hours.

Any tips?

Hi BW,
Rather using a curling iron, go to a salon and heat it up and get a shampoo set done. Sometimes the iron merely is not sufficient and you need a gel, rollers, 30 to 60 minutes of blow drying, and lots of hair spray for the finished look to hold the style.

Dear Hairlaloo,
I have been out of the Internet and one of the forum posters was talking about mom haircut. Do you know about that?

-freakingawesome

Dear Freakingawesome,
LOL. I can’t live without the Internet, it is like taking the best multivitamins. To answer your question, maybe Mom Haircut is a style that is not too sexy? Or maybe it is a hairstyle that is functional, effortless to keep, and again, not in the least bit sexy. I hope I answered your question correctly.
