Should I cut bangs??

Should I cut bangs? This was the article I was writing when I got my MEAN Virus. So finally here it is, but no pictures, sorry. That is how I got the virus is by copying pictures for this article. Find a famous actress with and without fringe to get the full scale of my article. Hope you enjoy. Should I cut bangs? Here is my opinion that follows. By the way thanks to new slang terms that I refuse to list, we now call them fringe instead of bangs. I m sure you can guess why. ;) Some of the benefits are if you pull your hair up everyday fringe gives it style and keeps it from just looking slicked back. Also if you have a high forehead fringe will cover it, to make your face shape proportionate. There are many types of fringe to, so you can pick the one to go with how you style your hair along with face shape and hairline. You have the simple straight a crossed fringe, angled fringe, side fringe and wispy fringe. In most people's opinion, fringe can also make you look younger because they hide wrinkles and other flaws. One of the great things about picking a longer fringe is that if you can't handle them they can be pinned up, so they are near as committal. You have to be very aware of where you put your part of your hair this plays a huge role in liking your fringe. So it depends what kind you pick, to determine where your part should fall. Some of the disadvantages are that they will take longer to style your hair, maybe by all of two minutes. You must style fringe no matter what. If you wear glasses the fringe can be really annoying just sitting on them, or frequently fall in your face. If you don't wash your hair daily, your fringe can be dirty and oil so you are more prone to break-outs. One of the biggest reasons women are apprehensive to get fringe is because of a horrendous cowlick or hairline. Hairline is something unfortunately I can't do anything about, but Cowlicks I have a fantastic trick up my sleeve, just come see me for it if you want fringe. With everything said I am personally a big FAN of fringe. It is just super important to cut them right for your face shape and lifestyle. I feel they can really drastically change your look.

My most frequently asked question as a hairstylist: HOW DO I MAKE MY HAIR GROW FASTER?

My answers to how to make your hair grow faster?
The very best way that I know of is to take prenatal vitamins. Why is that? If you intake vitamin E from your food that you eat your body uses it for the most important things first. Which is... your BRAIN, then HEART, then lungs, kidneys, liver, etc. That leaves next to nothing for your hair. So if you have excess vitamins (example: prenatals) they go where needed then you pee the rest of them out. On average hair grows ½ inch a month, but this will help to make sure that you get at least that and more. Also
• Diet matters
Nutritious diet consisting of foods rich in B vitamins, proteins, iron etc is a highly recommended solution to the query of how to make your hair grow faster and longer. You can take the vitamin called biotin, which will also along with prenatal vitamins increase hair growth and healthy hair growth.
So, replace your empty calories with healthy foods like spinach, beans, broccoli, green bell peppers, lettuce, milk, fish, strawberries, avocados, tomatoes, bananas, apricots, yogurt, soy products, oregano, flaxseeds, nuts, whole grains etc.
• Hair trimming to remove split ends
Trimming your hair helps to get rid of split ends. Although split ends do not stop hair growth yet, they are considered unfavorable because if they are not eliminated then your hair will grow in split ends, diving into further split ends thereby it just breaks off instead of growing longer. Therefore, it is advised that you get your hair trimmed on a regular basis. In fact, most of the hair experts recommend that hair should be trimmed every 6-8 weeks.
However, you must be wondering that getting frequent hair cuts will defy the very purpose of achieving faster hair growth. But, this is not the case. Basically, the ends of your hair grow older as the strands of hair grow longer. These older strands can only be trimmed; they cannot be repaired.
Plus, normal day-to-day wear and tear tends to erode the ends, thereby giving rise to split ends that make hair susceptible to breakage. Thus, your hair will surely grow but they will not grow properly if you do not remove scalp residue
Reduce scalp residue as it clogs hair follicles and hinder faster hair growth. So those that think by not washing their hair all of the time will get healthier hair might help it will slow down hair growth. So washing with moisture shampoo and conditioner is a better answer than skipping days of washing.Also one of the key elements to your hair is protein, so increasing your protein intake will help too.

The well kept secrets of perms!!

Benefits of perming your hair and the drawbacks.
1.) To add curl If your hair is fine and limp, getting a perm just might do the trick for you. Gone are those days of tight, poodle type curls. Now you can choose from a variety of size curls... and perms. From small rollers to large, 1 ½ inch rollers, perms are out of the dark ages. A large roller will give you a very soft curl. As if you were to use a large barreled curling iron. A smaller roller will give you more of a spiral look.
2.) To relax naturally curly hair If you have naturally curly hair, that is unruly, perming can tame those locks of your. By using a larger roller then your natural curl size, perming will break down your hair and create a new curl.
3.) And to straighten hair Yes, you can use a perm to straighten hair. However, this method is tedious and time consuming. The lotion would be applied and then the stylist would comb your hair straight for the length of the timing. Sometimes up to 20 minutes. This method would only be used on hair that is almost straight, the type of hair that has a slight way to it. However, it is more gentle then relaxing your hair.
4.) To even curl on naturally curly hair. I have used perms also to make the top of your hair curly when it is straight but the bottom is naturally curly. This method is great because you only perm parts of the hair. So you have even curl everywhere. This would be beneficial for people with natural curl.
5.) women also perm their hair to give body, they still blow it out with a round brush everyday like a normal style, but have loads of body due to the perm.
Perms have come a long way, in even the past 5 years. They are made for all hair types now. You can choose the desired look and curl. Plus there is so many new techniques, such as perming on Velcro rollers, sponge rollers and many sizes of perm rods are available. You can even perm lightly bleached hair now too. Perms are expensive and last 3 to 6 months so that is where the name comes from perm stand for permanent because it is!
The drawback is that it can be drying on the hair, and where your stylist picks the perm types you will be using, your stylist must have lots of experience to pick the right kind or it could end badly. Perms also take a while to do so you will pay the price with, money and time. But in so many cases it is so WORTH IT

How to Curl Hair into Sexy, "Beachy" Waves

Here I can tell you how to curl your hair to get sexy, beachy waves like Juila Roberts I put a picture of her. The secret to this look lies in the technique, but also the haircut. Beachy waves work best on medium-length to long hair that ha...s long layers cut into it.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: 30 minutes - 1 hour, depending on length and thickness of hair
Here's How:
1. Wash hair, towel-dry and comb hair out.
2. Prepping hair to hold the curl is very important. If your hair doesn't hold a curl well, don't skip this step. If you have straight-ish hair, turn head upside down and spray freshly washed roots with volumizing or texturizing spray, and mousse on the ends. Massage it in I insist the rubbing motion creates body and texture.
You may opt to use a heat protection spray to keep hair from burning. I will be featuring this product soon. I have two favorites Biolage thermal setting spray or Chi iron guard.
3. Blow dry hair straight with your head upside down, starting at the roots to get extra volume. Hair must be completely dry for this look to work. Separate hair into sections, with a clip. (It's easier this way to curl your way through each section).
4. To curl hair use a 1 inch curling iron, Spritz a section of hair with thermal setting spray , then take a 2-inch portion of hair and wrap hair around the barrel of the curling iron. Note: If using a regular curling iron, wrapping hair is different from the traditional curling method. You don't want to "clip" hair into the barrel. Wrapping it around the iron allows you to curl all the way to the root. When you're curling, make sure to leave ends loose to avoid a crimp mark.

Release the curl after about 10-15 seconds (hold longer if you want a tighter curl). You should end up with a corkscrew curl.
5. Spritz curl with hairspray spray, then roll it up and alligator clip it close to the scalp. (I'm lazy, so I skip this step to save time. I also don't like how holding spray makes my hair crunchy, so I usually leave the wave alone until it cools).
6. Alternate the direction of the curl as you work your way through each section. (It's all in the direction you wind hair around the barrel of the curling iron. Start by placing hair on top of the barrel and wrapping around, then switch by putting the barrel on top of the hair before winding it around). Alternating directions makes curls look more natural. Some curls can remain tight, some loose.
7. Once pinned curls have cooled, release them.
Separate curls with your fingers, just make sure not to brush them out.
8. To add shine, use paul Mitchell super skinny serum. Set with hairspray -- or don't, whatever you prefer. Just don't overdo the spray, you don't want new waves to feel "crunchy."
What You Need
• Volume spray and mousse
• Hair dryer
• A 1-inch barrel curling iron
• Hair clip and alligator clips
• Super skinny serum
• Hairspray

My favorite shampoo for thinning hair, or scalp conditions such as cradle cap, dandruff, psoriasis, acne & eczema. NIOXIN

I posted the site for this product above. Here is my overview.Hair loss, especially in men although also observed in women, is almost an inevitability, especially with the sebum buildup and DHT that actually cut off nutrient flow to the hai...r. Some other causes are cancer, surgery and extreme stress. A lot of shampoos are universally formulated but still try to claim to prevent hair loss while achieving only minimal results.
After decades of research, hair experts and scientists have developed Nioxin Shampoo which actually consists of a series of hair products all designed to optimize the scalp’s health and producing healthier, thicker hair. Unlike other shampoos that only focus on hair cleansing, Nioxin is designed to impact mostly the scalp itself.
Nioxin products utilize 20 years’ worth of research into hair and scalp care. BioAmp consists of glycol-proteins that strengthen the hair from inside the cuticle while adding thickness and repairing damaged hair. SmoothPlex adds natural shine and control to medium-coarse hair while adding moisture through a blend of silk amino acids and kukui oil. Glyco-Color Shield is designed to protect hair from chemical damage particularly from hair treatments. Trans-active Delivery System is a time-release formulation made up of vitamins, botanical, and moisturizing nutrients. Scalp Access brings moisturizing nutrients and proteins to the scalp and hair.
The Nioxin series of products has a treatment available for everyone no matter what kind of hair that you have. There are a total of eight systems all in all, all of which consist of three parts. From fine, natural, normal to thin-looking hair to medium-coarse, chemically enhanced, thinning hair each system includes the right combination of cleansers and hair products for specific hair types.
I personally used this shampoo and conditioner to fix the cradle cap that my baby had. I tried everything else and nothing worked so I finally used nioxin, which I knew would work. It effects the scalp, which is huge. I had to feature this, because of how much it has helped me and my clients. Many of those clients had cancer and it worked wonders for them.
Always remember to purchase your haircare products from your hairstylist rather than the grocery store. Otherwise it may be OLD, COUNTERFEIT, TAMPERED WITH, or BLACK MARKET.
