High and wispy was the main aim for CJ Baran's hairstyle at the 10th annual T.J. Martell Foundation Family Day. His thick hair was jagged cut or razored to achieve a weightless and wispy finish to the ends.

Pouf Up Your Hair

Every girl needs a little volume in her hair. Weather you add some hairspray, a little gel or mousse, you always need to getthat extra volume.
Why, you ask? Limp hair doesn’t look good on anyone. It hangs around the face, throwing everything off balance.
A little volume does good to your facial features, not to mention you’ll have fab hair.
A great volumising tip is a pretty pouf. To get this look, tease the top quarter of your hair with a stiff toothbrush (make sure it’s unused!). The bristles on the toothbrush are perfect for teasing your hair.
Sweep that section back, tuck the ends under and secure it at the base with crisscrossing bobby pins.And voila, you’re all set to go out and look fabulous! link....

5 Tricks to Summer-Proof Your Hair

Summer can have a very drying effect on your hair, so in order to keep your locks luscious, you’ll need to switch some things up and use products that benefit your strands during hot, humid days. So here’s what you need to do to make sure your hair stays perfect all summer long. 1. Switch to a Different Shampoo
Your hair dries up very easily in the summer, so switch from your shampoo that adds body and shine to a shampoo that adds moisture and contains a sunscreen. Your locks will feel softer, smoother and much more manageable.
2. Put a Pause on Heat Stylers
One of the worst things for your hair (as you already probably know) is your blowdryer, your flatiron and your curling iron. Especially in the summer, these heat stylers will just burn your hair and make it that much drier. Instead, try
experimenting with your hair’s natural texture. Let your hair dry naturally, scrunch it up with some mousse or do a cute side braid. Anything works.
3. Ditch the Color
Try not to dye your hair in the summer, especially if you’re thinking of going lighter since the sun already helps you do that. Colored hair reacts more quickly to the sun than non-colored hair, so take advantage of that.
4. Deep Condition
Keep your hair healthy and vibrant by doing a weekly deep conditioning treatment on your hair. You can purchase deep conditioners at any drug store so invest in a good one. Your hair will thank you for it!
5. Trim Split Ends
Don’t let your split ends take over your hair. Make sure you get a regular trim (about every 3 months, depending on hair growth). This will ensure that your locks stay healthy and shiny. link....

Must-Have Hairstyle: 50’s Hair Roll

So this season we’ve seen all kinds of hairstyles ranging from long and straight to short and wavy and everything in between. But what we’ve truly haven’t seen in a long time is the good old 1950’s hair roll, which of course, doesn’t look good on everyone, but I do recommend you try it just to see if it fits your face or not. Here’s how to get the look! This look is perfect for those hot humid days as it keeps the hair away from your face. Start by taking the front section of your hair (about the width of your forehead) and roll your hair under, using three fingers, until it’s above the brows. Secure around your hairline with bobby pins. Make sure the bobby pins are clear. If you have bangs, spray them with a light-hold hairspray and use a curling iron to curl them under. It will be stiff, so you’ll have to comb it out before tucking in the ends. Pair this hairstyle with a sleek ponytail or a chignon and finish off with a mist of strong-hold hairspray. link.....

Fight Summer Hair Problems

It’s hard to keep up a do in the summer, especially with the heat and humidity. Straightening your hair will only make it frizzy at the end of the day, so what’s a girl to do? Here are a few surefire ways to keep the heat at bay from your hair and have you looking gorgeous all summer long.
Go Natural
See what works best for you in the summer. If you find that your hair gets frizzy and limp after blowdrying, let your hair air dry - it will shape itself into its natural texture. If you have straight hair, I would recommend working a little bit of mousse through damp hair and letting it air dry. This will give you soft waves and will keep the frizziness at bay. Do the same with curly hair - don’t fight your hair’s natural texture.
Aim Down
If you’re blowdrying your hair, stay away from flipping your head upside down since this will cause more friziness. Instead, stand up and aim the nozzle downwards to keep your strands sleek, and frizz-free.
Hydrate
When your hair is dryed out, it draws moisture from the air, creating tons and tons of unwelcomed frizz. Stop this from happening by using a nourishing shampoo.
Neutralize Frizz
To get rid of the frizz, use a silicone hair cream which helps neutralize frizz better than anything else. Work it through your strands on dry hair and apply a frizz-taming spray before blowdrying.

How to Get Sexy Waves for Every Hair Type 1.Thick Hair

It’s all about beautiful wavy hair this season, so don’t hesitate a moment when it comes to getting your hair wavy, because no matter what your hair type is, you can make it happen. Keep reading to see how to get sexy waves for your hair type.
Thick Hair
Try not to go for
tight curls with thick hair since it came make your mane look droopy and heavy. Instead, stick to weightless, airy waves and curls. Start off by letting your hair air-dry to prevent friziness. You may apply an anti-frizz serum or cream. When your hair is about 50% dry, blow-dry it with a difusser. Start by curling random sections with a large barrel-iron, leaving out the ends so they bend in different directions and give you some bounce. Flip your head over, and brush out your hair lightly until you have subtle waves. If you have any flyaways, spray some hairspray into your palm and run it over your hair. link....

2.Medium Hair

Midweight hair can take all kinds of styles, but sleek spirals that actually twist away from your face are what’s hot right now. Start by washing your hair and applying a smooth spray all over to minimize frizz. Start by blowdrying. Once you’re finished, loosely wrap 1-inch sections of your hair around a medium-sized barrel curling iron starting at chin level. Hold the iron vertically as you twist it clockwise to create coils that fold into your mane. Once you’ve done your entire head, gently rake your fingers through your hair and shake it out so everything settles into piecey strands. link.....

3.Fine Hair

If you have thin hair, don’t worry about getting waves all throughout your hair. Instead, concentrate more on the ends. Start by blowdrying the top portion of your hair, from your cheekbones up. Leave the bottom slightly damp and coil it into a tight bun. Blast with your blowdryer until it is completely dry. Undo the bun and finish off with a light hairspray. You can use your fingers to separate the curls for even more volume. link....

Get The Most Out of Your Blow Drying Routine

You know how fabulous your hair looks when you step out of your hairdresser’s salon, but unfortunately, no matter what you try to do at home, your hair just doesn’t look the same. Here are some expert blowdrying tips I got from my hair stylist so you can come out looking salon-gorgeous every time you step out of the house!
Step 1: Have the Right Tools
It’s important that your blow dryer has at least two speed and heat settings. Also, make sure you have a good brush. For coarse or curly hair use a boar-bristle or synthetic nylon brush; for normal or fine hair use a ceramic brush.
Step 2: Add the Product
Before you start blow drying, you need to protect your hair from the heat you’re about to blast on it. For a smooth and sleek look use an anti-frizz serum, gel or cream and spread it evenly throughout your hair. For a fuller, thicker look use a lightweight leave-in conditioner on the ends and a thickening mousse for the rest of the hair.For curly hair,make sure you stay away from gels and mousses and go with creams and lotions Instead.
Step 3: Separate Your Hair
This is one of the most important steps when it comes to blow drying: sectioning the hair. Start off by having some hair clips at your disposal and separating the hair into three parts: left side, right side, and back. Start off with either the left or the right side, leaving the back for last.
Step 4: Blow Dry
Using a round brush, take either the left or the right side section of your hair and start twirling it around the brush (take as much as you can). While you’re pulling the brush down, concentrate the heat onto that part, making sure you’re aiming the nozzle downward to prevent friziness. Do the same for all sections until you’ve finished. link...

Shine Boost Your Hair

Your hair says a lot about you and your personality, so it’s very important to keep your hair up-to-date, clean, and of course shiny. There’s nothing more attractive than a shiny mane so here is how to get yours!
Degunk
Removing hair build-up is very important if you want your hair to look its best. Check your curling iron or flatiron. If is has a filmy finish, it’s a good sign that you have buildup on your hair too. Dunk a towel i water mixed with 1/4 cup of baking soda, then wipe down the plates of your tools to keep them clean and gunk free.
Shine Rinse
Mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with a cup of water, and pour it over dry hair. Follow up with a cool shower. The acidity in the vinegar breaks down environmental residue to help tired strands look glossy stain.
Rely on Nature’s Superstars
Damaged hair strands make hair appear flat. Certain botanicals, like cassia, help strands lie smoothly, so you get megawatt shine. You can find this at almost any drug store.
Wash Without Water
Excess product is the number one culprit for dull hair. Apply shampoo to dry hair (since water forms a barrier between hair and cleansing agents), then rinse. Doing so helps remove any leftover styles. link....

Get Beach Hair in Under 5 Minutes

Getting that “just got back from the beach” hair look can be hard, especially if you didn’t just come from the beach. But achieve that effect takes no longer than 5 minutes and lasts all day.
Start by dividing your hair into 3 separate sections and braid each section. Mist your hair with a thermal-protecting spray and run a flatiron over the braids.
The heat will lock in the crimp so that when you undo them, you’ll have a beachy texture. Undo the braids and set strands with a wave-enhancing spray. Your hair will look a little messy, a little beachy and a little crimpy, but just perfect! link....

At Home Hair Care

Essential Oils for Hair CareAccording to scientific research hairs are only dead tissues that grow out of the hair follicles embedded in the skin. Hence the role of oil treatments to promote hair growth and cure any degree of hair loss has been controversial in modern sciences. However, in 1998 a study was carried out by Scottish researchers and published in the Archives of Dermatology (1998; 134:1349-1352) proved that aromatherapy can effectively promote new hair growth.In the study half of the 84 patients were massaged a combination of essential oils on daily basis for a period of seven months, while the rest of half patients were massaged with jojoba oil and grapeseed oils. Following recipe was used;
Thyme oil - 2 drops
Rosemary oil - 3 drops
Lavender oil - 3 drops
Cedarwood oil - 2 drops
Jojoba oil - 3 ml
Grapeseed oil - 20mlAfter a period of seven months, it was observed that about 44% of the patients who used essential oils showed a considerable growth of hairs, whereas the other group showed just 15% improvement.
This was an important achievement that made clear the role of essential oils in hair care. Since then there are innumerable hairproducts in the market that claim to use these oils as their major ingredient. These herbal treatments for hairs are surely less expansive and less likely to cause any severe side effects while have a success rate near to chemical based medical treatments. link....

Mens Hairstyles

Men's fashion , including hairstyling, has certainly come a long way. Gone are the days where the only decision made by men was whether they would have a short haircut or no haircut at all. There really wasn't anything on offer in between. Thankfully, times have changed and men all over the world are trying different hairstyles as well as experimenting with color and texture changes . We can now see a contrast in hairstyles, from the short razor cutting , which is still quite favorable, to slightly longer, heavier on top, texture styles . Beards and facial hair are also more popular and have been noticed growing on many men, including celebrities.
Short Hairstyles for Men Take a Short Cut Discrete charm and articulate beauty are becoming part of the male fashion trend these days, especially with male grooming products selling rapidly. Extremely short, very choppy and highly textured hairstyles are the trends we'll be seeing on the male cranium this season. Get the look When deciding on a hairstyle remember: Spend time talking to your hair stylist and let them know hairstyles you like. Your hair stylist needs to understand your fashion sense so they can decide on the right hairstyle for your personality. Ask your hair stylist to talk to you about the techniques he/she used while styling your hair. They'll also be able to recommend the right hairstyling products for your hair type. With a little creativity and product know-how it's easy to be versatile. Hair facts Dry hair is caused when it gets insufficient oil from your scalp. Greasy hair is caused by over-active sebaceous glands and hair should be washed daily with a mild gentle shampoo.
Long Hairstyles for MenLong Strands. Seasonal trends can shift hairstyles from short to long. The newest way to wear long hair is with lots of texture and long layers , especially around the perimeter of the hairline. Give longer hair a whole new take on texture by playing with color. Highlights that are more sun-kissed are less bold and not too stripy on a long hairstyle, which will give the hair dimension. Fine hair A great cut for fine hair should give you body, texture and movement. Boost fine hair with styling products and a good brush. This is essential for fine hair to give root lift. Let hair dry naturally. A clever side parting can give height at the roots. Invest in the right products to tame and thicken fine hair. Thick hair Low-dry clean, sleek hair using a vent brush.
