Hair Tips
Hair Cuts:- Hair are worn straight. Streaking is quickly becoming an expression. Working women prefer either short hair, knotted hair or a nice and comfortable Joura. In parties or elsewhere, straight hair with waves of steps dancing along the shoulder portrays a carefree look of the Pakistani woman

 The right hairstyle for you:- Tired of trying out different hairstyles and coming up with ghastly results? Many of us donut realize that only a particular kind of style will go well with our facial structure. The right way, say stylists, is to find what works with the structure of the face and looks flattering. A flattering hairstyle can be the most important single factor in your appearance. Not only does it tell about your character, it balances your body, frames your face and complements your clothes and lifestyle. A really professional haircut is a valuable investment, because it will make you feel good as well as look good. When choosing a new hairstyle you should look carefully at the shape of your face .
What kind of face do you have? 

Oval Face:- If you have an oval face, you are lucky, as any style will suit you. A long face is best complemented by short hair that is quite full, with a fringe. Don't go for a severe long hairdo that will only make your face look longer.

Round Face:- If you have a round face, you should aim to add length. If you don't want long hair, part your hair on the side or add fullness on top. Avoid a neat bob with a fringe. A round face gives an overall appearance of roundness. A full face is flattered by a short, layered cut. The top of the head should be given a ‘long’ look with a layered, curly style, extending to the back. If making a topknot, get a lot of elongated tendrils out. That balances your face. A lot of volume to the hair will give it a flat look. A severe, tied back style also makes the face look rounder. Avoid it. 
Square Face:- A wide forehead and square jawbone means you have a square face. A style with the hair 2.5 cm, or so below the chin sits pretty on a square face. If your hair is thick or wavy, you can go all one length. With straight or fine hair, you can opt for a slight angle in the front. Donut go in for bobs. Blunt clipped bangs are also not recommended because they would emphasize the square ness of your face. All a square face needs is a little softening if the jaw line is too heavy. Draw the attention away from the jaw with a diagonal fringe forward from the hairline and around the ears if you wear your hair up, or long loose hair with a bit of bounce below chin level
Heart Shape:- A Heart shaped face is also easy to flatter. All you need to do is avoid a heavy slab of fringe that will make your face into a triangle. A softer fringe will help. Try a soft fringe too for a high forehead, or try a very heavy fringe that stars quite a way back is 'V' - shaped, with the point of the 'V' in the center of your forehead. If you have a receding or double chin, you need to draw attention away from it. Your hair will look best either piled to the top and back of your head, to balance the chin, or hanging loose to hide it. A large nose needs a short, fluffy style anything sleek or straight will only over-emphasize it. 
Long Face:-
 
A long, thin face with a narrow chin is oblong. A short, perky bob will go very nicely with your kind of looks. It should be short at the back and the angled chin length, in the front. Wearing it with a side parting, with bangs brushed to the side, rounds out an oblong face. A longer bob, about five-cm, below the chin, will also look good on this kind of face. Layered hair will not suit you at all. Long hair, too, makes the face seems lengthier






































































Hair Tips
Hair dyingAdvantages of using natural hair dyes and colorants. What wrinkling is to skin, graying is to hair. Both are the signs that herald age. A woman despairs as much over the wrinkles that begin to line her face, as she does over the hair that turns white. This feeling of regret, for the youthful years that have passed is nothing new. In fact, the effort to retard the aging process has existed since Eve. Beauty treatments, geared to delay or camouflage the signs of aging, have been a major concern of the cosmetic world. Aging, however, is a natural process. With time, the body ages and the signs of aging manifest themselves in various ways, graying is one of them. To understand the graying process, one must have a basic idea of the structure of the hair. The hair consists of concentric layers. The outermost layer is the cuticle, which is made up of tiny, transparent scales that overlap each another. The second layer is the cortex. It is in the cortex, just below the surface layer, that pigment, or coloring matter, forms. This gives the hair its color. More the pigment, darker the color of the hair will be. With age, pigment may not form, causing hair to be without color or white. There may be other reasons why pigment may fail to form, but age is the most common factor. The white strands mix with the dark ones and give the impression of gray hair. Naturally, when white stands appear. The question of how to deal with them causes much concern not just from the aspect of concealing them, but also checking further graying. This question makes is important that few facts about the hair be known, so that damage to the hair is minimal. To begin with the strands that have already turned white cannot become black or dark again. The only way to change their color is by dyeing. Dyeing has become a common practice and a number of women resort to it. Unfortunately, most of them do not know the way the structure of the hair can be affected. Unless this is known, one is not able to take precautionary measures that help to control damage to the hair. Dyeing of coloring hair is not a modern beauty device. Women of ancient Rome and other civilizations were known to dye their hair, or even bleach them. Using ingredients that often caused irreparable damage. Often, some of these treatments resulted in excessive hair loss. The chemical dyes and colorants that are in use today can also harm the texture and health of the hair. They contain ingredients that penetrate the cortex, resulting in damage to the texture. Regular dyeing, therefore, results in hair that is dry, brittle, rough and without luster. If hair damage is to be checked it is essential to set up a protective care routine, as protection itself is one of the best preventive treatments. It has also been seen that regular care, started in good time, not only delays graying, but can also prevent it from spreading. These treatments include the use of products, containing natural hair darkening and protective agents that have the added capacity of improving and maintaining the health of the hair. Shampoo, rinses, tonics and conditioning powders, containing ingredients like henna, amia, shikakai, reetha and 'brahmi have proved successful in maintaining the hair texture and health. These ingredients also have specific curative properties. If the decision is made to dye hair with chemical dyes, it is all the more important to treat hair regularly with natural products. In order to protect the hair from harmful effects of chemicals and keep hair damage to the minimum. Dye your hair, if you must, but help to restore its beauty in terms of texture, quality and quantity. One of the main advantages of using natural hair dyes and colorants is that they are completely safe and subject the hair and scalp to no hazards. Natural vegetable products are non-toxic and do not harm the structure of the hair. They do not destroy the outer layer or cuticle, as they do not enter the cortex. Henna is probably the best known natural colorant. It has the capacity of strengthening hair, as it coats the hair shafts. This not only protects hair, but gives it body and sheen. If there are only a few white strands, which are visible there is no necessity to use chemical dyes. Henna can be used very effectively to conceal them. 
Coffee or Kaththa added to the henna paste gives hair a richer brown color rather than a reddish tinge. The colored strands blend with the rest of the dark hair and are well concealed. A question that is commonly asked is whether henna will color the entire hair a flaming red. The answer to this is very simple. Dark hair will not catch a lighter color and will not be colored red. Henna will, in fact, add gloss and brighten dull hair.

Special henna powders:- Containing other valuable ingredients like amla and kohl are available. They have been used very successfully both as protective and preventive treatments, apart from curing many hair disorders. The regular applications of henna will, not only conceal but provide many other benefits. If there are a considerable number of strands that have already turned gray and you decide to dye them black, you should have a basic idea of the process that is involved.
Avoid:- Chemical dyes have a toxic base and have been known to cause irritations and allergies. The hairdresser will therefore do a patch test before dyeing you hair. Applying the dye on a tiny area just behind the ear usually does this. A period of 24 hours must be allowed to see if any skin irritations or allergies are caused. If not, the dye may be used. It is better to have the hair dyed by a hairdresser, as there are particular instructions that must be followed regarding the lotions used and great care must be taken. No attempt should be made to dye eyebrows or eyelashes with these dyes. Fine hair can be dyed easily as it absorbs better, while coarse hair is more resistant to color. This itself would require the use of more and more quantities of the dyeing lotion as times goes on, since dyeing makes hair coarse, with repeated applications. 
Regular Care:- As far as the daily routine is concerned, the hair should be washed with a very mild shampoo. So as not to subject it to harsh detergents. An amla shampoo is ideal, as it lubricates dry hair and has a powerful cleansing action without disturbing the oil moisture balance. It has restores the acid-alkaline balance of the scalp. Amla keeps the hair soft and shiny and checks further graying. The harsh ingredients in chemical dyes remove natural oil and moisture, leaving both the hair and scalp very dry. A hair rinse, used with shampoo, completes the hair washing procedure and leaves hair in a manageable condition. Regular condition treatments with henna improve both the look and the general health of the hair. Thus hair that is dyed requires special care, so that the damage may be reversed to a great extent. One of the most important aspects of beauty is to be aware of the detrimental effects of various treatments. Some treatments can have disastrous results, involving a great deal of time, effort and expense to gain what is lost. In some cases, damage may be permanent. As for as possible, avoid treatments that expose the hair and skin to harm. For instance, when you feel you must resort to such methods, be sure to supplement them with an appropriate routine of daily care, so that the natural beauty of such valuable assets may be preserved as long as possible.





























































































































Hair Tips
Post Perm Tips1. Don't wash newly premed hair for 48 hours after processing as any stress can cause curls to relax.

2. Use shampoos and conditioners formulated for premed hair to help retain the correct moisture balance and prolong the perm.

3. Always use a wide toothed comb and work from the ends upwards. Never brush the hair.

4. Blot wet hair dry before styling to prevent stretching.

5. Avoid using too much heat on premed hair. If possible, wash, condition and let dry naturally.

6. If your perm has lost its bounce, mist with water or try a curl reviver. 
Bronze or Blonde:- Color has come a long way and we are more willing to experiment now than we were willing to earlier. A head of colored hair, even in the 1980s, drew a lot of attention and appreciates glances. But today, take a quick look around you and you will agree that 80-90 per cent of young college girls and even career women have colored hair. And unless it is crazy color, it is considered normal and acceptable. Should you or shouldn't color your hair is a question you often ask yourself. Here are a few answers to help you make up your mind about coloring your hair.

Are hair colors safe?
Yes, they are totally safe, in fact most of the colours today have special polymers and conditioners incorporated in them to make them superior to hair colours which were available earlier. These polymers and conditioners actually penetrate the hair shaft and enter the cortex, mending any damage in the normal hair structure. They smoothen the outermost layer of hair that is made up of cuticles, which appear like tiles on a roof under the microscope. The ultimate effect after the use of such a product on your hair would be shinier, smoother and healthier hair. So far there appears to be no connection between the application of hair colour and the appearance of Gary hair. Hair turns grey due to the inability of hair to produce melanin in the early stages of hair growth. Melanin is the colour pigment in your hair, which can be black, brown, red or yellow. The individuality of your hair colour is determined by the percentage of each colour pigment, making each personas hair colour characteristically their own. Poor diet, illness, age, heredity, etc. can cause the acceleration of grey hair and the actual use of a hair dye has nothing to do with the greying process. Which colour suits you the best is the question you should ask your beautician. Let her know if you had coloured or hennaed your hair earlier, the products you used and whether you had straightened or permed your hair. Also have your hair checked out for porosity or elasticity, both of which play a major role in how healthy you hair, will look after the colour. Discuss this with her in detail how long the process will take the cost and after care you will require to keep up the effect. You must also take a stand test so that both you and your hairdresser know what to expect at the end of the process.
What are the side effects of coloring ?
If a professional taking into account all the above points does colouring, the side effects are almost nil, especially if the client follows the after care recommended. However, it is very important that your hairdresser recommends a patch test in addition to all the points mentioned above, especially with a product you have not used before. This is to check for allergic reaction before carrying out the coloring process. This should be done at least 24-28 hours in advance. 
What do you need to maintain the color and the quality of your hair ?
Certain fashion colors fade easily and you may need to go back for a rinse once a month, for example, in the case of wine reds, you would need a regular touch up or rinse to maintain their intensity. In the case of gray hair, it would depend on the individual growth rate of hair. On an average, hair grows ½"- ¾" every month, so a touch up once in 20 days is a must for gray hair. For those with no gray hair and a mild color not too different from their natural color, a touch up once in six months is ideal. For those with a drastic or dramatically different hair color, a root touch up is important. The after care needed is usually a shampoo for color treated hair, which increases the life of your color and conditioners to protect your hair. Too much exposure to sun, sea and chlorine should also be avoided.
Which brand of color should you use? 

It is usually best to leave the choice of color to your hairdresser once you have discussed with her what you expect after the color job. The safest home use products now available in the market. They have a wide range of products in different shade from which you could choose. For those of you who are allergic to ammonia there is a new product called casting, which is available in a few fashion and basic states. So do go ahead and make a beauty statement with your hair color.
