Who wouldn’t want a fabulous hair? There are a lot of techniques in the market today teaching us how to care for our hair and what products to use, most of the time we neglect a few things but matters most.

There is one simple technique that most of us tend to forget is to detangle our hair first. Before putting any product or styling our hair it is important to use detangling combs to prevent frizz. Most common cause of frizzy hair is hair breakage when combing improperly especially after a bath when it is brittle. Using the inappropriate tools may cause huge portions of split ends. Lady Jane Comb works to detangle wet or dry hair without snapping or damaging strands. The widely spaced teeth penetrate the hair easily while the round-tip teeth gently massage the scalp. It is also useful for distributing conditioners and cream treatments throughout the hair.

In taking care of your hair you need to know what type you have and then plan to maintain it. There are different types of hairs for different people. There are straight, curly and frizzy.

Most people think having straight hair is easy well in fact it needs the care and attention like other types of hair. This type is prone to breakage and split ends so be careful when you handle your hair. Shampoo your hair every other day to prevent dryness and use a conditioner everyday to lock in moisture. The secret to a fabulous straight hair is the conditioner you use like Creamsilk Standout Straight conditioner works wonders, it brings out the best quality for this type of hair with the natural flow.

Curly hair for kids looks adorable but as they grow older the softness and manageability of their hair is not the same. For teenagers it is a nightmare. If you have curly hair, you know that there is no point in fighting it! Go with the curl, and learn how to make your naturally curly hair beautiful! One of the biggest mistakes that those with naturally curly hair make is not using the right products. You need to choose conditioners and shampoos that are specially formulated for your type of hair. Regular conditioners will weigh down the hair, creating flat, lifeless curls. Regular shampoos often do not contain enough moisture to bring curls to life. There are a variety of curly hair products on the market today, and those with curly hair must use shampoo and conditioner designed for their type like All Dove Shampoos and Conditioners bring just the right amount of our unique Weightless Moisturizers® to the center of each hair strand, without weighing it down.

The same is true for moose, gel, or hair spray. Normal hair styling products will weigh down the curls. This gives your hair a crunchy, fake look. Choose products that will control your curl, while letting your hair breathe and look alive like Kiehl’s. This outstanding leave-in hair conditioner and grooming aid is created especially for thick, frizzy, dry, or damaged hair that tends to be difficult to manage and tangled. When combing it, never comb it when it is dry, this will cause breakage. Avoid also, using combs or brushes that are narrow toothed. Instead, use a pick or a comb with wide teeth to brush through your curly hair.

1. SET THE STAGE
If your hair is too silky (overly conditioned) or slick (oily) it won’t be able to hold a curl and/or stay in place once you style it. But if, on the other hand, it is “squeaky” clean, it won’t have enough natural oils to help prevent frizz and to make it pliable enough for lasting curls and other styles. To help create hair that is clean yet conditioned, the night before � shampoo with Aloe Rid gentle clarifying shampoo, which frees hair from the dirt, excess sebum, and styling product residue that can make it look and feel lifeless and limp�without stripping. Follow up with Headress� weightless leave-in conditioner, which adds the weightless body, moisture and bounce crucial to any special occasion style.

2. DON’T BE AFRAID TO SHOW YOUR SOFTER SIDE
A lot of people think that party hair needs to be “formal” and structured, or stick straight. These may have been the trends of seasons past, but this year we are going for hair that is more romantic and approachable. A look where people will come up to you and say hello, rather than just staring at your perfect coiffure from across the room and wondering how much hair spray and how many pins you used to create it. In addition to being a bit sexier and more sensual, these softer looks are also far easier to create than the constructed more monumental ones.

3. PERFECTION IS OVER-RATED
Another common misconception about special occasion hair is that it has to be absolutely perfect. But in keeping with the trend toward a softer, romantic look, each of these styles is a bit off center. The reason? This little touch lends a playful quality to each style making it look fresher, more modern, and original than if every lock was impeccably placed.

Introduction

Hair that develops a lank, flat, stringy or oily appearance is often referred to by hairdressers and hair consumers as “greasy” hair. This type of hair is hard to control, clumps together easily and does not hold a style well.

Where does greasy hair originate from? Regardless of how or why it happens, greasy hair is directly related to the overproduction of sebum, a waxy type of substance naturally occurring in the body which is designed to keep hair supple, soft and waterproof. Sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands.

The amount of greasiness that is experienced is directly tied to the amount of oil present on the scalp. People with fine hair tend to have more hair than people with other hair textures. Since there is a higher volume of hair associated with fine textures, there are more sebaceous glands and thus potential for excessive oil production.

Hormonal changes is also sometimes linked to the development of greasy hair and skin issues. This is more likely during puberty than menopause.

It is believed by some hair experts that chronic greasy hair can lead to other long term hair problems including potential hair loss or some forms of scalp breakouts and/or greasy dandruff.

Types Of Greasy Hair

Greasy hair can also be a linked to the development of skin problems including acne on the face and scalp.

It can be generally categorized into two types which include:

1. Greasy hair from roots to ends with greasy or oily scalp.
2. Greasy scalp and roots with dry hair from below roots to the ends.

Although there are always special circumstances, greasy hair can be caused by the following:

1. Genetic predisposition towards greasy, oily scalp that migrates through the hair.
2. Normal hair without genetic predisposition towards greasiness that is treated with improper hair care products which cause oily/greasy scalp with or without oily/greasy strands.
3. Lack of regular and consistent hair cleansing which results in the build-up of toxins, dirt and other substances resulting in greasy strands.

Whether there is a genetic predisposition to greasy hair or not, utilizing improper hair care products and/or methods can lead to greasy strands.

Irregular hair washing, genetically predisposed to greasiness or not, may result in a greasy condition from oil buildup. Even hair that is predisposed to dryness may actually develop greasy roots from lack of washing.
