5 Worst Things You Can Do To Your Hair

There are a lot of things we do every day that are really not good for hair. Here are the top 5:

  1. Allowing product build up. When it comes to hair products, more is not better. Using to many styling products creates product build up which weighs hair down and makes it limp and dull.
  2. Too many chemical treatments. If you have colored hair, try not to subject them to perming or rebonding. This is subjecting your hair to just too much chemical exposure. When buying hair products don’t buy ones that have a long list of chemicals listed as ingredients.
  3. Washing hair too often. Consider only rinsing hair or washing it every other day. Every day may not be a good idea.
  4. Too much heat. This can come from the sun or from curling or straightening procedures. Either way, excessive heat means drying and hair breakage.
  5. Tight braids, elastics etc. Tight braids and cornrows put a lot of pressure on hair roots and can cause hair to fall out in some cases. Even something as innocuous as the elastic or rubber band can cause hair breakage.

Ideas for Holiday Hair

The holidays are a special and festive time for all of us and whether it is spent with family or you want to make the extra effort for that office party, you are probably wondering what to do with your hair for the festive season.

Here are some ideas for holiday hair:

Change the color – According to experts, autumn colors such as golds, coppers, reds and warm brown colors are hot this season so consider transforming your whole look by picking a color that complements your skin tone. This season the ‘Ombre’ look is in, with lighter roots and darker highlights which is something else you may want to consider.

Consider extensions – Think volume; think thick. Consider extensions this season, and experts recommend tape-in extensions as a new twist this season.

‘Do’ for the party – Depending upon the type and length of your hair as well as the sort of outfit you plan to wear, consider an updo, a soigné chignon, unfettered curls, or even braids.

Hair accessories – Go festive with a colorful bow or decorative clip or even ribbons for the hair. Think beads and flowers as décor for the hair or consider pinning a festive looking broach to your tresses.
