Beauty Tips
BLONDE BLUNDERS
Bright radiant blondes are hard work to keep up with, and the work isn't finished when you leave the salon. Things like chlorine, well water, cigarette smoke, and even medications can affect your high lift hue. For the best results consider maintaining your mane with a purple based shampoo, like Silverlights, or getting a glaze to perfect your tone.
GO FOR THE GROW
Hair only grows on average 1/4 to 1/2 an inch a month, making the process of lengthy locks a long one. The best way to speed up the process actually involves regular trims, roughly every 6 to 8 weeks. Also be sure to use heat protectants when styling to avoid further damage that will slow the process. Biotin, a vitamin, is also a big help in encouraging hair growth.
SOAPLESS SHAMPOO
Hair doesn't necesarily need to be washed everyday, or even every other day. Many experts say that washing twice a week is perfect. Many shampoos are made containing sulfates and sodium chloride, which strip natural oils from the hair and scalp, and can actually lead to an over-abundance of oil production. These chemicals can also wreck havoc on hair color. Instead try supplementing with a dry shampoo.
WATCH NOW
Textured waves and soft curls are one of the hottest ways to wear long locks now. But styling with hot irons repeatedly to get this look can lead to a damaged and dull 'do. Not to fear, there are ways to get this glamourous look without the heat! Mimi with Luxy Hair Extensions has an outstanding tutorial on the how without the heat.
