Bridal Hair Care Tips

Tips for Hair Care - Star-Quality Hair

Beautiful hair is a requirement for your wedding. The good news is that with the right planning your hair will look great for your wedding, and the rest of your life. Sound impossible? Well its not. Just follow these 8 simple rules and you'll look great and you'll feel great about the way you look. 

Rule number 1:

Do not do anything drastic the week of your wedding like dying your hair a new color or trying a brand new cut and style. Rushed decisions are rarely good ones especially when you are already nervous and excited. Plus, you will need more than a couple of days to correct a disaster. Your wedding pictures are something you should love and cherish not hide because your hair looked bad! 

Rule number 2:

Do plan early! The week you choose your wedding gown is the best time to start planning you hairstyle. Your 1st step is to have someone take a picture of you in the gown. If you're having your gown made just slip into a similar one so you have a visual representation of its style and fit. Look at the pictures and decide what style or image you want to convey i.e. Renaissance romantic, Hollywood glamour, modern and edgy etc. Then decide which hair style best captures that look. Take the time to thumb through magazines and get a feel for what other people are doing. Once you've settled on 2-4 hair styles take the pictures to your stylist and discuss which would best suit your hair type. Then try a couple. Have someone at the salon take a picture of you in each of the styles. You will know the right style when you see it! 

If you are having an out of town wedding, you should take pictures of your finished style as well as pictures of the styling process like curling, teasing and blow drying. This way your new hairstylist will see exactly what you want your hair to look like, and know what they need to do to get it there

Rule number 3:

If you are going to experiment with color do it at the same time you decide on the style of your hair. The right highlights, low lights or 3-4 color hair weaves can look spectacular and really light up a face. The wrong color can be a disaster. Finding out what works and what doesn't early, gives you plenty of time to correct the color and even try another option without damaging your hair! Make sure that you have your stylist use a low volume, low amonia product. At Chaz Dean Studios we only use Majirel by Loreal to insure the best color and protect the hair from damage. 

Rule number 4:

Drink plenty of water and load up on vitamins. Within 6-8 weeks you will see a wonderful change in your hair! The big bonus is that you will feel great and your skin will look and feel softer and more supple. Water also helps wash away toxins produced by stress that can rob you of energy and leave your hair and skin looking dry and dull. I recommend 8 ounces of water every hour throughout the day. The most important vitamins to add to your diet are zinc (found in beans), vitamin A (found in dark green vegetables) and (B6 found in eggs.) If you have dry thinning hair some herbalists also recommend black-current oil (try 500 milligrams twice a day.) For a fast fix you can also purchase quality hair and skin vitamins from any good vitamin or organic grocery store. 

Rule number 5:

Don't over cleanse you hair! Yes I know it sounds dramatic but its true. Most commercial shampoos and have harsh detergents that strip your hair leaving it dull and lifeless. The commercial conditioners that stop the frizzes end up robbing your hair of volume. We haven't used shampoo at Chaz Dean studios for over 8 years and all my clients' look great. We use Wen, a cleansing conditioner with Rosemary, Mint and eucalyptus. Since it doesn't have any detergents it doesn't lather, or leave a residue. You just get clean gorgeous hair. It also deep conditions, nourishes the scalp and actually helps your hair grow faster, feel thicker, have more volume. 

Rule number 6:

Do any maintenance color or retouching 2-3 weeks before your wedding day. This will leave you plenty of time to counteract any extra dryness or damage. As before, I highly recommend using Majirel by Loreal to insure the best color and minimize damage. 

Rule number 7:

Deep condition your hair one week before your wedding. You can use Wen or an herbal based deep conditioning treatment. This treatment will revitalize your hair leaving it vibrant, shiny, full of volume, and luxuriously soft. Simply massage the product into your hair, cover with a plastic shower cap and sit under a dryer for one hour. If you don't own a dryer, just leave the product in for an additional hour or so. Do not deep condition your hair the day before your wedding. The deep conditioning will make it hard for your hair to hold any style or curl for any extended time. I also recommend doing this treatment every 4-6 weeks as part of your regular hair maintenance routine.

Rule number 8:

Use your hair cleansing product the day before not the day of your wedding. This is especially important for women with straight, fine or thin hair. This will insure that neither you nor your hairstylist will have to deal with fly away ends hours before your wedding. Your hair will also be easier to style and be able to hold a style longer. However, if you have incredibly thick and curly hair like my client Julianna Margulies, I recommend that you do condition the day before and the day of your wedding! 

Remember, you are beautiful and this is your special day. Be prepared for a ton of compliments, and enjoy your gorgeous hair!

Natural Remedies to Stop Hair Loss in Men

There's no doubt about. No one really desires to suffer the loss of their hair. While it may be more socially tolerable for a man to lose his hair I'd think most would rather keep it. Men usually experience widows peak, a phenomenon that is characterized by a receding hairline, and also suffer from other hair troubles like thinning of hair, balding, etc. But the major villain of all these hair fall problems is understood to be androgenetic alopecia, which can be successfully countered by using effective preparations. One medication is called Procerin. It is also entirely natural. Men have a hormone called testosterone that gives rise to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and which in turn leads to hair loss that is the usual presentation of androgenetic alopecia. But the Procerin inhibits the synthesis of DHT while not interferring with testosterone.

Procerin is a scientifically developed natural drug that specifically targets hair fall. It contains seventeen distinctive natural & herbal ingredients and this is why it is so successful against hair fall while limiting the potential for side effects. Yet, some people do make a complaint of mild stomach upset when they initially use the medication. If you experience side effects then you must consult a doctor first, especially if you are on MAOI inhibitor. A few of the active ingredients are mineral DHT inhibitors, Siberian Ginseng, Saw Palmetto Berries, CJ-9 Factor, Nettles, Zinc Sulfate, Vitamin B-6, Magnesium, CJ-11 Factor, Gotu Kola, Pumpkin Seed Meal, and Mura Piuma Root.

According to studies, men who are between the age group of 18 to 35 years or have their hair still growing can really benefit from this treatment. By using Procerin people have witnessed the stimulation of new hair growth, increased hair thickness and gradual re-growth of the receding hairline. It is advised to wait for 1-2 months to see the results as hair tends to grow very slowly. In fact experts estimate that hair only grows about half an inch a month. But there are men who saw results within 2 weeks of taking Procerin. Though the majority of people who see improvement in hair growth have to wait for at least 1-3 months. This isn't that bad when you consider prescription, Propecia can take 6 months to start working.

Now the question is, is this all a big scam? There are a number of instances where it worked very well and the companies manufacturing Procerin claims that this natural medication has proved effective in 92% of the cases, where androgenetic alopecia is the chief reason of the thinning hair. I would take a more careful opinion of this conclusion. Consider, the company offers a 90-day money back offer without any question being asked from the customers. This minimizes your risk.

Though, you must know that if you have sustained massive destruction to your hair follicles then these medicines may only have a insignificant effect. If this is the case then you may get better results from a hair transplant. Hair transplantation techniques have improved over the years and now are an acceptable option for those who can come up with the money for it. For additional thinning hair product approaches you can study the special report below.

Prom Hairstyles - How to Choose and Style the Best Prom Hairstyle

Probably one of the most important events in a young lady's life is her prom. Everything has to be perfect from the fingernails to the toenails to the hair. Deciding what type of hairstyle to wear can be somewhat frustrating.

Ideally the best thing is to purchase the dress first as some hairstyles seem to fit certain dresses. If possible, a week or two before the prom it is a good idea to have the hair done in the style that you are contemplating. It will give you a good idea exactly how it is going to look. Now is the time to make any changes rather than an hour or two before you must dress and go to your prom.

You are going to find that there are many different types of hairstyles from which to choose. Even if you have short hair, you might decide that you want to go with some extensions for the long hair look. Once again, this is something that you going to want to try out before hand. If you have long hair do not rule out thought of having your hair braided and then twisted into some of the spectacular styles that can be done nowadays with braided hair.

Another new style that is becoming quite popular is sedu prom hairstyles. This is a new look that is really taking over with the favorites for the young ladies especially being as it is based on many celebrities who go for the Sedu type hairstyles.

Do not forget that you can also add that extra touch to your prom hairstyle by getting some hair highlights. Probably the best idea is not to go with anything too drastic or too compromising as it may be difficult for you to get used to it orit just may not go with the color of the dress that you have chosen. If you have chosen a pink prom dress and decide to go with red highlights, you may find yourself running into trouble.

If you have long hair and have decided that you want to go short for, the prom be careful with this decision. It may be a spectacular short hairstyle but if you are not used to it, you really are not going to be a comfortable.

Do not forget that there are hair accessories that will go or complement your total look for your prom. You can get decorated pins or if you want to be elaborate, you could go with a tiara. Even a simple flower gives the hair an elegant touch and gives the overall finish to the hairstyle.

If you have not had the opportunity to try out your hairstyle the week before make sure that you are using a hairstylist that you either know or has been recommended. Do not be afraid to tell the stylist if something just does not suit you with your hair. After all this is, your special day and your hair should be exactly the way you want it.
