How to Have a Celebrity Hairstyle

One thing that makes it really exciting to see celebrities on TV is their exciting looks. Aside from their naturally given looks, they are able to pull off different fashion statements. No wonder fans are eagerly awaiting what fashion trend their admired celebrity is going to show every so often. The truth is this- anyone can exhibit different hairstyles like a celebrity.  Given the right cut, style and color, changing hairstyle once in a while can give you a celebrity look that will help you catch attention in a crowd.  

One factor that you need to consider when trying to achieve a celebrity hairstyle is your face shape. Some cuts will help make your face longer and some will make it slimmer. If you want to have a younger look, the easiest way is to go for a shorter hair. The good thing about short hair is that it fits all kinds of body types and skin color. However, bear in mind that, depending on your body type and skin color, there are specific kinds of garments that will compliment your short hair.

Although blonde seems to be the most favored hair color among celebrities, it does not mean that it is also the best for you. If you notice, there are some gorgeous celebrities that never go blonde. This is because their professional hair stylists and colorists know that blonde will not bring out the best look from the celebrity. Do not be fooled by hair fashion trends. Keep in mind that the most common hairstyle of the moment is not always recommended for everyone.

No matter how much we protect our hair, we cannot help but encounter hair-damaging elements day in day out. Organic shampoo and conditioner can guarantee manageable hair. But when too much exposure to the sun and pollution are inevitable in your daily routine, it is difficult to avoid having a dry, dull, and lifeless hair and many ladies spend too much just to treat their damaged hair.

Since these hair remedies can be done at home, it means that they are also affordable.  Eggs can be one of these home remedies for damaged hair and help you achieve that manageable hair that you have been aiming for. First, you have to separate the white of the egg from its yolk. Whip the white thoroughly and blend the white with a tablespoon of water. When the white and water mixture becomes creamy, mix it with the egg yolk.

Tangle Free Hair Tips



Women with long hair share the same hair predicaments- tangling and knots. If the hair is long and curly, achieving tangle free hair seems to be a difficult challenge. Some ladies like their hair long but they just have to deal with this dilemma of having to detangle knots and tangles. This is not an easy task especially if the hair is also dry, dull, and damaged. It will be frustrating to change from one shampoo to another and still get the same results- dry, dull, and damaged hair.

It is common to experience hair tangling and knots if you have a long hair. It is not common, however, if you maintain daily hare care regimen but still have a bad hair day everyday.  The best thing you can do to achieve a tangle free hair is to use organic hair products. By using organic hair products, you are not only helping to protect the environment. You are protecting your scalp and hair as well. Keeping your hair away from harsh chemicals will help the hair to avoid breakage, tangles, and knots.

It will also help if you trim your tangled hair short. If there is too much damage on the hair, it is a wise decision to cut the hair really short and give it a new beginning. To help achieve a tangle free hair, spare your hair from harsh sunlight and harsh hair dyes. While letting your hair grow again little by little, maintain a healthy hair care practice by using organic shampoo and conditioner. Massaging your scalp once in a while will also help.

Why Your Hair Needs Exercise


So, you are using excellent hair products. You are keeping your hair away from harsh elements such as pollution, too much sunlight, and shampoos that are not organic and full of hazardous chemicals. Is there anything more that you can do to enhance hair care? Yes, there is. Do some exercises for your hair regularly! Of course, it is not the hair itself that you will exercise. Rather, it is helpful to massage your scalp. This will enhance blood circulation, which in turn will encourage healthy hair growth.

Every part of the body needs regular exercise to maintain health and lively freshness. The hair follicles rely on the scalp to allow for healthy hair growth. Thus, it is necessary for the scalp to receive proper blood circulation. Part of proper hair care is massaging the scalp, which will not only relax your stressed head but also helps the hair grow beautifully and healthfully. It is ideal to have your scalp massaged by someone else but if there is nobody available to do so, it is not a bad idea to do it yourself.

When the scalp is deprived of regular exercise, the hair will grow sluggishly and some scalp areas will produce unevenly thin hairs. The good thing about hair and scalp exercises is that you do not need any special skill to have it done correctly. Also, this hair care habit can be done almost anytime and anywhere. You do not want to do it in front of your meal, needless to say. On the other hand, you can always exercise your hair and scalp during your break time in the office or in school and before you go to bed.

Being a chameleon is a good thing when it comes to fashion. From garments to accessories to hairstyle, color has a lot to do with fashion dos and don’ts. If you are able to pull off any hair color, then you are a certified fashionista. Hair abuse is one of the concerns here, however. If you are thinking of changing the color of your hair often, do not forget to consider hair care. While pain is sometimes required in order to achieve the beauty desired such as in working out and dieting, torturing your scalp and hair is not a part of hair fashion.

As anorexia and eating disorders are a big no-no to dieting, unhealthy hair dying is strictly prohibited when trying to get the right hair color. Some are even allergic to hair dyes. If you are not sure about the suitability of hair dyes to your scalp, it is best to go to a hair salon. With professional hair stylists, you can be sure that you are given the right hair care. Dying your hair at home can be cost-effective but at the same time risky in terms of health and fashion as well.

If you have the slightest doubt about dying your hair yourself, have it done is a professional salon. After you safely got your desired hair color, there are two other things you need to consider. First, you have to select correct garment colors to perfectly match the new color of your hair. Second, since your hair has an artificial color, it is necessary to maintain it with organic shampoo. This way, you can be a healthy fashionista with a funky hair.

How to Avoid Bad Hair Days

Stress, more often that not, gives us a bad hair day. Weather, poor eating habits, wrong choice or excessive use of hair products, hormonal change and even genetics take their toll too. Organic Care shares some professional tips to avoid bad hair days.

Wash your hair thoroughly. It is important to wash and massage hair thoroughly from the roots, down to the scalp. Not only it takes away dirt, it also provides a refreshing feel and relieves all tensions.

Use organic shampoo. Organic shampoos contain fruits and medicinal herbs that do wonders for the hair. It cleanses our scalp and helps moisturize our hair effectively than chemical-based hair shampoos. Organic shampoos also help protect our hair from the sun’s damaging rays that leaves our hair dry and tangled. Organic shampoo also helps balance your regular hair care routine from excessive use of chemical-based products like mousse, styling gel, leave on conditioner and more.

Have a regular trim. Most women long for long but admit it or not, long hair is only better when it’s healthy and shiny. Nobody wants fine-looking hair with split ends. At most times, split ends occur when the individual layers of hair shafts separate because of different factors like frequent shampooing, chemical-based hair products, frequent styling and weather. A trim doesn’t only avoid split ends but it makes your hair looking healthier and shiny and helps add volume to your hair.

Wake up in Style. Remember how stylists do wonders and miracles? Even the ugliest duckling can turn into a lovely princess with just a few hair tricks. Organic Care thinks that the best hair trick starts with blow-drying. Some people would blow dry first because not a lot of them know that blotting the hair with towel before using a blow-dry adds volume to the hair. It also helps avoid drying and will do less damage once you wait until your hair is fairly dried before you blow-dry it.

To condition the hair evenly, it is best to use styling gel by spraying onto the roots and rub it with your fingertips. For fine thin hair, it is best to condition the ends and not the roots. To add volume, use a handful of mousse while a small dollop of smoothing balm will help control frizz.

Remember to clip your hair into sections and start blow-drying at the back of your head first and proceed to the side sections. Dry your hair by using a round brush from the roots down to the tip. Add your favorite serum or coat for a  soft, glowing finish.



Hair Care Facts and Myths



Every season, the hair has some straightening up to do. To help your hair do that, you must be aware of the proper hair products to use. To make it easier, use organic hair products that can guarantee softness and radiance in your hair. Organic hair products perform well in all seasons especially during summer when temperatures are harsh. It is also very important to be aware of some hair facts and myths for a perfect hair care. With sufficient knowledge, managing your hair will be easy and proper.

Some hair myths are sometimes weird and totally have no scientific backup at all. It is even mysterious where these hair myths come from. One hair myth says that washing your hair too much can cause hair loss. This is not true at all. It is the same with the notion that wearing a hat will cause hair loss. There is no logical reason why a hygienic hair care and a fashionable hat, especially a wide-brimmed one for summer, will cause you to go bald. Also, do not try to increase the number of your hair follicles by using drugs.

Here is the truth behind hair loss. The real culprit is the combination of hormones and genetic factors for both males and females. Hair loss can also be caused by many drugs. Half of the male population experiences hair loss sometime in their lives and it is not because of wearing a hat too often. By age 50, more than half of this male population develops pattern hair loss. If you are optimizing your hair care by washing your hair with organic shampoo often, do not be scared of losing hair. People normally lose 100 hairs per day from the scalp with or without washing. Remember also that

Getting the Right Hair Color

Changing your hair color can change the way you look as a whole. Thus, it must be done perfectly the first time. It is not like painting that when colors mismatched, you can always cover it up with a new paint. With proper hair care in mind, make sure that you do not dye your hair so often that it damages your hair’s natural condition. Usually, a bad dye job is committed by ladies when they attempt to dye their own hair by themselves at home.

Doing so is not a bad idea at all. It is even advantageous because the ladies can customize their own look and it is cost-effective. If you are planning to change your hair color by yourself at home, there are some procedures that you need to follow to avoid hair disaster. For those who are not sure about dying your own hair, better get it done in the hair saloon. There, you are sure not only that your new color for your hair is done professionally but also that correct hair care procedures are followed.

But if you insist on trying to do it at home, it is advisable that you use semi-permanent color. Also, do not go beyond two shades lighter or darker than the natural color of your hair. When choosing the perfect dye, bear in mind that the color in the box is not always exactly the same with the hair color it produces. Instead, it is better to read the color swatches and the descriptions. Make sure to follow instructions to ensure hair care as well.

What's Your Hair Personality?

Creating your own hair personality is fun and at the same time challenging. Allow your hairstyle to flaunt your image to make a more striking overall fashion statement. There are many possibilities when it comes to matching hair color, length, and cut. Some people imitate the hairstyle of their favorite celebrity without realizing whether it fits their looks or not. You have to match the hairstyle that best fits your look. Then, match it with the right garments to complete a whole package of a great style.

A fashionable look always emanates a good vibe. From head to toe, every detail of the overall look must be carefully put together. The hairstyle is one of the first things noticed when judging one’s fashion statement. There is a stigma attached to some types of hair personality. Blonde hair is usually attached to pretty cheerleaders who are not that smart. Very long hair indicates a churchy kind of girl, curly afro-like hair fits a funky vivacious lady, and a short-haired girl tends to be a busy metropolitan lady.

It is not necessary to pattern your hair based on the standards set by the society. What really matters is that you feel comfortable with your hairstyle. That exactly is what hair personality is all about. Let your hair speak for yourself. There is no way you can stop people judging you based on your cover. So go ahead, decorate that cover starting from your hair. As long as your hair is healthy, hygienic and not too bizarre, decide on any hairstyle that exhibits who you are.

How you could save your HAIR from falling out

Oh, the painful dilemma of losing your hair! Arggghhh! It’s like a ruined relationship with your beloved one great love that’s slowly falling into pieces… and you just can’t let go. Then again, why would you? How you wish you could save it right? Your hair has been with you since you were born. And you’ve practically lived with it, loved and nourished it, took really good care of it. Good news is yes you can save it as long as the problem is not that serious, YET! Like many couples, you could do something like find some remedies or go through a therapy. Seek the help of your dermatologist and blurt it all out. I mean, the pain on your scalp, the

Everyone, especially women, believes that our hair is our most crowning glory. And why would something ever so painful snatch it away from us? Truth is, it could just be a cycle. Like relationships, we go through tough and rough times. And when we’re stressed, it’s like our soul mate that gets so much affected and stressed too. Then it slowly starts to break away. Don’t worry, it’s just temporary so calm down. Once you’ve found a way to loosen up and relieve the stress, it will go back. Some women also lose hair after giving birth, which again, is normal and temporary. 

Our relationship to our hair is not just a typical kind of relationship. Like our bodies, it reacts the way we treat them. If we eat poorly and if we use too much cosmetics or hair products that contain a lot of chemicals or harmful ingredients, naturally, we lose our hair. Some factors could be blamed on genetics or diseases like lupus, diabetes, and thyroid disorders. Some women, on the other hand, lose hair after giving birth. Some medications even cause hair loss.

Question is, how do we save our hair? Eat properly. By eating a healthy balanced diet, green leafy vegetables and fruits will help fight stress since stress is the most common reason why we lose hair.

How to Prevent Hair Loss

Organic Care recommends vitamins and natural supplements that will help fight stress. There are fruits and vegetables that are proven to be stress relievers. It is also best that you get ample rest and at least eight hours of sleep. It is the safest and most effective method to prevent hair loss.

Eating foods rich in protein like chicken, meat, fish, eggs, cheese, nuts, grains, and more will also help achieve normal hair production. Organic Care also recommends that you consult with a dermatologist before trying on some products.

Facts and Myths about HAIR

There are a lot of myths about hair. Most Filipinos, especially traditional and older ones, believe in a lot of legendary myths and superstitious beliefs. Believe it or not, there are a lot of myths about hair. And you’ll find them a bit shocking. Here are some:

Myth 1:Sleeping with a wet hair can cause visual impairment or blindness.

Fact:There is no scientific explanation that sleeping with wet hair can cause blindness. There wasn’t any record too that shows that people who slept with wet hair actually had visual impairment.

Myth 2: However, sleeping with wet hair can cause headaches.

Fact: Most people believe that this is true. However, many have argued but there is really no link between sleeping with wet hair and headache. There isn’t any evidence too that supports this theory. Many believe that this was a story that moms made up so that their pillowcases won’t get wet.

Myth 3:Plucking grey hairs will cause more grey hairs to grow.

Fact: False. However, plucking grey hairs should not be practiced since it plucking often may cause damage to the roots that would eventually scar.

Myth 4:Head lice can be removed with hot oil.

Fact: No it is not true and it cannot be. Hot oils are made to give moisture to hair and do not contain ingredients to repel those insects. Instead, use over-the-counter anti-lice shampoos or medicinal products that can totally remove head lice.

Myth 5: There are products to treat split ends.

Fact: Truth is you’ve been delaying that trim for a long time and you’re finding a way out just to excuse yourself from cutting your hair. Although a silicone or beeswax will conceal it temporarily but a hair cut will bid goodbye to your split ends.

Myth 6: Using too many shampoos make hair manageable.

Fact: Switching to different shampoos should not be a habit. You should find the right product based on the type of your hair and stick to that product to maintain healthy and manageable hair.

Ditch the ITCH

Itch is a discomfort feeling and it is very inappropriate to scratch (head) in public. First, you have to know what really makes our head itchy? There are many factors why and Organic Care gives you an A-Z list of what to do about it.

Head Lice

 

This is the most irritating itch of all especially that it’s contagious. People get head lice from someone who is infested with head lice usually by sharing comb, pillow, clothing or head accessories. Head lice among kids are removed by using a fine toothcomb specifically made to remove the crawling insect. For adults, it is recommended to use over-the-counter medicinal shampoo. There are also natural home remedies you could do to remove head lice like Vaseline or olive oil. There are also organic shampoos to remove lice that are safe to use. Just choose according to your needs and judgment but Organic Care recommends that you see a dermatologist before trying anything.

Dandruff


Dandruff can also be annoying especially when it’s severe that you get flakes all over—eyebrows, face, shoulders and chest. Black dress is a no-no for someone who has severe dandruff. Compared to head lice, dandruff can be more difficult to remove depending on the severity of dandruff. Individuals who have dandruff experience greasy, irritating, itchy scalp. With a number of anti-dandruff shampoos available, it is hard to determine whether they are really effective or not. Organic Care suggests that it is best to check the back of the label and see if your choice of anti-dandruff shampoo contains the right PH because it will help you determine if your scalp gets proper moisturization to help avoid flaking. Remember to steer clear of harmful chemicals that can cause allergies.

Hair Loss


Hair Loss is the most painful itch of all. People who suffer from hair loss not only experience pain on the scalp but emotional pain as well. At the beginning of hair loss, they feel conscious and insecure. Apart from the emotional indifference that they feel, they also have a burning sensation on the scalp and greasy itchy feel. Stress is the most common factor why people suffer from hair loss. Other factors include hormonal problems, genetics, and alopecia.

Organic Care recommends that you treat them as early as possible. Organic plants like sage, aloe vera and rosemary are some of the helpful remedies that experts recommend. If you think you have excessive hair loss that might be the cause of alopecia, it is best to seek the help of a dermatologist to address your problem.
