Hair Care Advice




Setting Your Hair - Hair Care Advice


What are setting agents and hair sprays? Setting agents keep the hair set longer. They are applied to wash the hair before it is set. A film of the agent is left on the hair and as the hair dries, it is glued together giving it a stiff and thick appearance. Hair sprays, on the other hand,are used on hair which has been set. They keep hair in place.


Both, setting agents and hair sprays have very little chemical effect on the hair proteins. They both contain water soluble polymers, but in different formulations. Mechanically, they have two different effects: because they minimize the need to comb, they reduce hair damage; but they make hair stiffer, so it becomes difficult to comb, thereby increasing the damage to the hair while combing. Both these opposing effects are generally balanced.


BLOW DRY:
Many of us use a 'dryer' for setting hair. Sometimes we use it simply to rapidly dry wet hair. Heat is potentially damaging to the hair because it results in the loss of natural oils and moisture. Also 'heat treated' hair is more prone to damage, because heat weakens the hair protein. This is especially so if the hair was wet prior to heat drying.


It is best to avoid a dryer altogether; but if this is not possible follow these precautions:


· Use the dryer when the hair is comparatively dry.
· Be gentle.
· Use a wann/cool setting on the dryer and keep moving it, so that no one section ofhairis subjected to heat for too long.
· Don't hold the dryer too near your head.
· Direct the wann air along the direction of hair growth, so that you are blowing flat on the scales of each hair shaft and not ruffling them up.

Tips for Hair Curling and Hair Straightening




People have been trying to turn straight hair into waves and curls for thousands of years. A permanent wave is a process that creates a curl in the hair shaft by altering its chemical structure. Perming hair is a good way to add body and curls to straight hair. It also requires a bit of extra care. Whether or not a perm will take depends on:




• the type of the hair
• its past history of chemical treatments and
• the skill of the stylist



You should never perm your own hair as this is a delicate job. If you do you run the risk of losing hair or damaging your hair shaft.
In expert hands, perming can create wonderful effects. Let the expert do hair perming proces.
There are different types of perm:




Acid perm
Create highly conditioned, flexible curls. Acid perms have a mildly acidic action that minimizes the risk of hair damage.
They are ideally suited to hair that is fine, sensitive, fragile, damaged, or tinted.



Alkaline perm
Alkaline perms give strong, firm curl results on normal and resistant hair.



Exothermic perm
Exothermic perms give bouncy, resilient curls.
Exothermic refers to the heat that is produced by the chemical reaction that occurs when the lotion is mixed.




Hair perm techniques



Body perms are very soft, loose perms. The result is added volume with a hint of wave rather than curls.
Root perms add lift and volume to the root area only.
Pain curl perms give soft, natural waves and curls.
Stack perms give curl and volume to one-length hair cuts.
Spiral perms create romantic spiral curls. The hair is rolled vertically rather than horizontally.
Spot perms give support only on the area to which they are applied.
Weave perms involve perming certain sections of hair and leaving the rest straight.






How to Perm Hair



1. The hair is washed by clarifying shampoo;
2. The hair is tightly wound around a curler or a rod;
3. The perm lotion is applied to the hair;
4. After a while the perm lotion is thoroughly rinsed;
5. A neutralising lotion is applied;
6. A failure to rinse and neutralise properly can lead to many problems.
7. The hair should not be washed for two to three days.
8. Cut your hair after you perm.
9. If your perm does not take you should wait a while before getting a new one.
10. Because permed hair can be dry, avoid over-use of irons, hot combs, and




How do hair perms work?

Perming is a chemical process of changing the shape of hair, so that the new style is retained through several washes. Perming lotions contain chemicals which cause some of the bonds within the protein fibres of the hair to break. The lotions remain on the hair for the necessary development time during which the desired number of bonds (25-30%) are broken. A new pattern is then imPosed on the hair by winding it on rollers. The lotion is then rinsed off the hair and a neutraliser is applied to enable the disrupted bonds to reform with a new pattern, giving the hair a new shape.
Perming can be achieved either by a cold process or by a hot process. In cold waving, thioglycollates are used to break the bonds, while in hot waving, alkalis are used. 'Soft perms' are also available for home use - they act in the same way but contain bisulphites which act more slowly and to a lesser extent-the result is a softer perm which does not last very long. Normally the professionally given perms should last until the treated hair grows out or is cut off.

What can go wrong with a perm?

A number of factors combine to make the perm successful: the locorrect strength of the lotion, the curler size, the degree of tension with which the hair is wound around the curlers, and the development time. Things can go wrong with any of these and spoil the perm.
You might not be satisfied with the style of the perm. With small curlers and too much tension on the hair, the hair looks frizzy. Similarly, in case of too long a development time the curl becomes too tight. With a short development time and larger curlers the perm is loose.
Damage to the hair is another problem with perming; this occurs most often in the hair which is already damaged by dyeing. Even in normal hair, too prolonged an application or too strong a lotion may cause damage, because of the weakening of the bonds in the hair protein. The cuticuiar scales are also damaged during perming and may even be lost - this leaves areas of hair naked making it look lifeless. If sufficient damage has been caused to the hair, it may break, either immediately or within a few days of perming, as you comb or brush your hair.
In rare cases skin irritation can occur-this is the result of careless application of the lotion or if the lotion is allowed to remain for too long in contact with the scalp. In view of the problems your skin and hair are likely to face, it is better to get your hair permed from an experienced beautician.

How often can you perm your hair?

This depends on the condition of your hair. Some damage does take place during perming and this is more so if the hair has been dyed earlier and it is therefore better to avoid re-perming your hair earlier than 4-5 months.

Can curly hair be straightened?

Yes, hair can be straightened just as it can be curled. This is done either by using chemicals or heat. The hair straightening is brought about by breakage of the bonds and formation of new 'ones and this too makes the hair weak. Of the chemical meth. ods, one technique uses a strong alkali and the other involves the use of a reducing agent. The former tends to have a stronger effect.

HAIRSTYLES AND HAIRDYES



HENNA AS A HAIR DYE

One commonly used hair dye is henna - a natural colourant. It is a permanent hair dye. Though henna imparts an orange-red colour to the hair, this colour can be altered by the addition of indigo logwood and camomile.
A real advantage with henna is that it is a superb conditioner. It gives the hair body and bounce. Moreover, allergic reactions to henna are extremely uncommon - all these advantages have made henna a favourite colourant.

HAIR DYES AND REACTIONS

Paraphenylenediamine is a major component of all the synthetic permanent hairdyes. It frequently causes allergic skin rashes- so it is necessary for you to do a 'patch test' before using these dyes, to check whether your skin is allergic to the hair dye.

For a patch test, prepare a small quantity of the dye. Apply it to the skin (usually behind the earoron the inside of the arm, at the elbows) and leave it untouched and uncovered for at least 24 hours. The product should not be used for dyeing the hair, if any reaction (redness, irritation or blistering) develops. If there is no reaction, then it is safe to use the dye at that time. Since sensitivity can develop at any time (even after previous safe use) it is advisable to carry out a patch test every time you want to dye your hair. Reactions to these dyes appear several hours after use. Although not very common, reactions when they occur are both painful and unsightly. Itchy swellings and oozing then develop on the scalp, neck, forehead, and eyelids. Some people also develop breathing difficulty spon after applying the hairdye.

Prolonged use of the hairdyes can result in the darkening of the skin of the face and neck. Some doctors are of the opinion that hairdyes increase the risk of skin cancers-but this is really doubtful. Hairdyes also weaken the hair protein and increase the porosity of the hair. This results in weakening of the hair. This weakened hair is more prone to other mechanical and chemical damage. Because of this effect, several permanent hairdyes available in the market incorporate conditioners into the dyes. These help to reduce the damage of the hair caused by hairdyes.

Latest Jewellary trends for weddings


Pearls, precious gems, or simple delicate jewelry can have a dramatic impact on your total wedding ensemble. Yet, it is important to know what looks good before spending a lot of money on such items.

For example, if you were having a beach wedding, you wouldn't choose to wear an ornate heavy gold necklace and matching earrings with a summer gown. Instead, delicate chains and fresh water pearls would be more appropriate.

Another decision is whether to have your wedding rings engraved, whether with your names and wedding date or with a short love quote. If you do decide to go with engraving, you'll need to make sure that your bands are wide enough to hold all the words.
There's also the decision on whether to buy simple gold or silver jewelry, a combination of the two, or perhaps go with metals such as titanium and platinum, which are becoming more and more popular amongst marrying couples.

Color choices can range from vibrant and deep shades, to light and airy, soft pastel tones. Usually, the deeper colors are reserved for fall and winter weddings, while the lighter shades are used in spring and summer weddings. However, this is not a hard and fast rule.
















Trends in western bridal dresses








Here I am putting some of the tips to choose your wedding gown according to your body shapes and i am sure this will surely help you to look best in ur wedding outfit.

Hourglass Figure:For women that have an hourglass shape, a strapless or off-the-shoulder gown is just right. When shopping for a strapless gown, lean towards the one-piece gowns instead of two-piece gowns. A two-piece gown can result in a "choppy" look, splitting you into to figures.Bias-cut and straight designs are not best for hourglass figures. They will usually pull the eye to areas of the body that you want to minimize. These types of dresses are better suited for tall women.The bride with an hourglass shape will want to accentuate her curves. Avoid heavily beaded dresses that can tend to make the bride appear heavier.

Pear-Shaped Figure:
A woman with a pear shaped figure has smaller shoulders and upper body than lower body. A pear shaped bride should wear shoulder pads or puffy sleeves. This bride should avoid any type of body hugging gown, full skirts, or cuts that make the upper body appear even smaller or the lower body larger.

Short and Petite Figure:There are many options for the short and petite figure. Shoestring straps and off-the-shoulder gowns will work the best. A Cinderella gown will look beautiful and will add a touch of romance. Straight gowns tend to not look as nice on a short and petite figure. If you have already fallen in love with a straight wedding gown, offset it with a full veil. Wearing the right designer wedding shoes can also add height if a petite bride would like to appear taller. Keep in mind, however, that you may not want to be in high heels all night. Switching shoes will affect the way your dress hits the floor, keep that in mind when selecting your gown.


Square Figure:
The ideal gown for a bride with a square shape will create curves, or, create the illusion of curves. The neckline of the dress should be beaded. Alternatively, the upper part of the bodice should be beaded. Bigger skirts and sleeves are also ways to add curves. The square figured bride should avoid sheath or clingy dresses that contribute nothing to creating the illusion of curves.

Women And Fashion




Women always have a close relation to fashion as their is a significant urge in them to look different and to look elegant. The urge to look unique in women is mostly genetical.
Women now wants to change her look with the changing trends of the modern world, the change in women has produced some striking losers -- mainly clothes perceived as too formal, too impractical, too expensive or too unflattering on maturing bodies.
Different kinds of clothings and accessories are used at different occassions by women of the present age.Women get mostly impressed by the glamorous models and rock stars of the modern world so they want to look like them.

Fashion is in the hands of DESIGNERS.


Designers are the people with high creative skills in their heads.

They can easily change the face of tomorrow with their designs. They are in high demand now a days specially in the field of media. Designers can greatly influence what direction fashion will go in. Working five or six months ahead of the season, the press attends fashion shows presenting designer collections; the media will then give editorial coverage to trends they think their readership is interested in.So everyone from big-name designers to celebrities may be behind influencing the direction fashion will go in.
But ultimately, it is you, the consumer, who will decide what is "in" when you choose whether or not to buy into a trend.New York, Paris and Milan are considered the major hubs for designers and manufacturers of fashion apparel and accessories.
London, Los Angeles, Toronto, Hong Kong, Sydney and Sao Paolo, in addition to hundreds of other smaller market areas are host to excellent designers and manufacturers.

What actually Fashion is?


Fashion can be called an art, a religion, or a custom.
But for most people it is a method of utilizing clothing, accessories and hair to show or hide something about yourself. You can use fashion to express yourself, to serve as an extension of your personality.
Now a days fashion is not just confined to clothes and accessories, you can see the trend of fashion everywhere e.g. cell phones, jewellary, beddings, interiors, makeup, shoes, furnitureetc.
Now you can study the fashion on a high school level itself.Education is a vital ingredient: many universities offer excellent fashion merchandising courses.
Many students are initially attracted to fashion because it seems like a glamorous business:to some degree it is.
But the majority of clothing and accessories that are designed, manufactured and sold have absolutely nothing to do with the glitzy shows associated with famous designers.
