Medium Hair Styles for Those In Betweens

“Ladies step away from the ponytails when your needing medium hair styles!” Just because you are growing out that short hair style doesn’t mean you have to live in the ponytail stage until you have reach your designated length. I know it can be frustrating when you see all the big celebrities grace the big screens with their ultra cool cropped hair styles and then the next month they have these new flowing hair. It feels like they never have to be burdened by that in between medium hair styles stage.

“Medium Hair Styles
Don’t Have to be Dull”

Fear not gals, I have the answer for you. My mother always told me to work with what god gave you, and honey those are words to live by. It is high time we take those “Stuck in the middle” medium hair styles and transform them into a hair style you; and god, can be proud of.

It’s true; no matter what type of hair, that the fastest growing area of hair on your head is in the back. Okay, so it is not actually true but it seems that way because it has the shortest distance to travel. So when you are growing out short hair styles it always feels that you reach the “mullet” stage. Gals the obvious thing to do here is chop off the mullet!

You don’t have to compromise your tough efforts of growing . . . just shape the hair in the back and leave the sides to grow, creating the medium bob hair style. The bob has certainly evolved over the years, and now can be adapted to fit any style and texture of hair. Add bangs or some volumizing layers to the crown, create a hair style that is trademarked to fit you.

When you feel like you are all thumbs with your hair styling skills this haircut is fantastic. It is perfect for hair that has a slight wave or curl in it. With the right hair care product all you need to do is scrunch it and blast fry to perfection. Dry the style upside down to create more volume at the roots, when it is dry pick through the ends and work the points into style. This multi layered haircut is modified into a shag effect with deep point hair cutting, slicing, razoring, or a lot of texturizing. The cutting technique allows the hair to fly soft and free.

A Chopped and Defined Medium Hair Style

A Medium Hair Style Diced to Perfection!

For all you gals that feel like your hair is thin, straight, and lifeless, I’m sure cutting it to short hair seems to be your only answer. I’m also sure you have tried to commit yourself to growing it out and then just get to frustrated with the results, well worry no more. As long as the hair cut that you have is vertically layered and texturized only at the points your lifeless hair can be brought back from the grave.

If thin straight hair is point cut too deeply then the hair will just fly away. But if you create points only through the tips it will look more choppy and defined. This hair style adds more dimension to the hair, leaving you with an edgy finish.

Don’t over product! Ladies with fine hair believe that the more hair care product they use, that the hair will finally be glued into place. Not true! It only weights down your locks so they fall limp and flat in two minutes. Less is more! You are always asked at the salon, “Do you want short or long hair.” Next time tell your hair stylist that you want the length that is right in the middle. There is no need to cut out the middle man, sometimes he can be the best one in the shuffle!

Winter Hair Styling Tips to Chase the Depression Off

Every year the temperatures drop and everyone has the same complaints about their hair. That bone chilling cold, high winds, and damp freeze doesn’t only play havoc to our bodies, but it can be catastrophe to our hair. We always bring out our winter wardrobes to bundle up and protect us against the cold yet we make no changes in our winter hair rituals to protect against Jack Frost. This winter arm your hair with the best tips to keep your hair in line so it can bloom in spring with the flowers

“This winter arm your hair with the best tips “Complaint #1

Frizzle Frazzle ~~ When the winter temperature drops the central heating is raised. Every home is over working to keep us warm and snug, and even though it feels good to be indoors out of the cold, it is not good for our hair. Central heating sucks the moisture out of our winter hair ladies. You have to figure that you are indoors in the winter for the better part of the day so the drying affect from indoor heating is causing your hair to swell up and frizz out.

Answer ~~ Luckily nowadays we have some great frizz control hair care products. I suggest hair frizz control serums. This product glides through the hair gently and smoothes and tames frizzy ends while leaving a glossy finish to the hair.

If you feel that serums make your hair look greasy or limp than you can use a frizz control shampoo and a light weight, leave-in spray conditioner. When you towel dry the hair don’t rough it too much. The cuticles are open and vulnerable and that can be another reason why it is frizzing. Pat the hair gently, and remove most of the excess water before you apply your product.

Complaint #2

Dry Like the Desert ~~ The winter makes you think that no matter what you put on the hair nothing seems to give it moisture. Everyday makes winter hair more dry and brittle. You feel like your hair is dry and lifeless. Why is it that you can barely get a comb through your hair in the winter time; wet or dry?

Answer ~~ Have you ever noticed that in the winter your lips tend to be chapped a lot more often than in other seasons? Well in the winter when you lick your lips because they are dry the cold air sucks the moisture away and freezes it dry. Our hair stays wet almost twenty four hours after it is washed. It feels dry to the touch but the moisture it stuck between the hair shaft for almost a day until it is dry. Cold wind is basically chapping your hair like your lips. Well, as we apply chap stick to our lips, we need to apply a moisturizer to our hair.

You should use a hair mask or conditioning treatment on your winter hair once a week. Wash and towel dry your hair. Apply a generous amount of treatment to the mid shaft and ends of your hair and gently comb through with a large tooth comb.

Wrap the hair in a towel or shower cap to lock in heat and moisture and leave the treatment to sit for fifteen to twenty minutes. Rinse the hair thoroughly and end with cool water. The extra traffic on the road and more gas and oil heating can create an abundance of pollutants in the air, so that too may contribute to dull and lifeless winter hair. Every step is blanketing you with the excess that is in our air. In order to get back the glow in your hair you have to strip off what is coating it. Wash your hair with a good cleansing or clarifying shampoo at least once a week.

I suggest doing this the same time you do your deep conditioning treatment. When the hair is free and clean of buildup it can lock the moisture of the conditioner in better.

Hair Static Nightmare

Complaint #3

High Static ~~ While the turtlenecks and sweaters keep the heat locked into the body they make your hair fly away. Every winter hair is at its all time high for static. There is nothing more annoying than spending all that time styling your hair only to have it stand on end by the time you get your coat on.

Answer ~~ Static hair seems to plague everyone, but fortunately there are some hair care products and tricks that truly work wonders to keep those fly-aways under control. I find that if you spray your hair brushes with Static Guard; the clothing spray, it works great. Make sure to hold the spray at an eight to ten inch distance and leave them for a few seconds to dry. The product is completely safe for your hair and it doesn’t leave the hair feeling any different, but rather, with less or no static at all.

Another way to help eliminate the problem is by rubbing the back of your jackets, hats and wooly sweaters with static free Bounce sheets. You can also turn the heat down on your clothes dryer to cut back on static electricity.

There are some hair care products that you can purchase to spray on winter hair to reduce static, but most of them are filled with high levels of alcohol that dries out the hair. Instead, be sure to keep your hair well moisturized, with moisturizing shampoo’s and conditioners.

Invest in a humidifier which can also do wonders in keeping moisture in the hair when your hair is exposed to the ravages of winters forced indoors heat. Just keep in mind, dry air means dry hair!

Here is another hair static article on for help with static electricity in your hair;  Hair professional, Marc Anthony who hails from Canada, gives us good info on dealing with hat hair and the ravages of cold on your hair in another hair static article that I wrorte.

So, don’t let the winter blues get you down. Now that you are equipped with the right tools battle this year’s freeze and hop on through to spring!

Wedding Hair Style Perfection

Wedding Hair Styles . . . For Perfection on the Big Day!

Wedding hair styles play a big role for every bride. As little girls we all dream and fantasize about the day when we can truly shine as princesses; our wedding day. We want nothing less than pure perfection and will stop at nothing till we achieve it. The problem is with all that need to be arranged we stress ourselves out so much that by the big day we are too exhausted to enjoy it.

“Research is the key to wedding hair style success”

Well all you engaged gals take a deep breath and follow these simple steps to eliminate one stressful planning ordeal off your list your wedding hair style. Here are a few helpful hints to make your wedding hairstyle the picture of perfection that you had in mind.

Tips to Take to the Altar

• Meet Your Maker ~~ Find a hair stylist that you feel comfortable with. If you can trust the stylist to cut your hair and feel good when you leave and love going back . . . this is your maker. Be honest with your hair stylist, not every great hair cutter feels comfortable with up-do hair style fashions. Don’t be shy to ask if they want to do it or if they think one of their colleges are better for the job. Trust me as a hair stylist, you will not offend a professional hair stylist. A great hair care salon runs as a team and each stylist has different talents. A good hair care salon wants the client to look their best and matching them with the best hair stylist for the job is important.
   

• Picture Perfection ~~ Research is the key to wedding hair style success. Search the internet and magazines to find the wedding hair style that best suits your hair, face shape, and dress. Talk it over with your stylist and make sure that you are not striving for the impossible. Find hair styles that will make you look great but still make you look like ‘you’. We all want to be fabulous on our wedding day but we have to make sure our guests know they are at the right wedding.
   

• Practice Makes Perfect ~~ It is best to book a practice hair appointment about a month before your wedding day. This appointment should correspond with a dress fitting afterwards. A practice run leaves nothing to chance. Make sure you wear your hair style the whole day and take a few photos of the front and back. This will give you an idea of anything you would like to change or to ensure you have something to show your hair stylist on the big day to refresh their memory. Also wearing your wedding hair style the whole day will allow you to see how it feels. If there is any pins that feel uncomfortable later, or if you feel that some areas didn’t hold up, take a photo and write it down so you can discuss it with your hair stylist.
   

• Relieve The Tension ~~ Take a day for yourself the day before the wedding day. I know this sounds impossible so book it in advance so you cannot get out of it; trust me! Make an appointment to have a head and body massage. An up-do wedding hair style, or set causes a lot of tension on the head and hair and you have a whole day in one tomorrow. The best results come when everything is at ease. The night before your wedding wash your hair with a cleansing shampoo, and work in a light weight volume mousse. Wedding hair styles with curls and pins work best when the hair is not too clean. You want to sleep on the hair and rough it up a bit, do not leave it for the morning. Your wedding day is said to be one of the greatest days of your lives. Most of the time it ends up being better for the guests, because they had less to do than you did. However, I promise you that if you take these helpful hints your journey to the big day will be a much smoother ride.
