hair. It is also a good solution if the ends of your hair are extremely dry. Simply smooth a small amount of conditioner to the ends to help hydrate and protect. Your hair will even look
better.
Are The Ends of Your Hair Frying? :
Cup the ends of your hair in your hands and direct the heat (set at cool) over your hands. Drying in this manner will prevent the air from hitting the dry fragile ends of the hair.
Before You Color Your Hair :
The week before you color you hair, be sure to really condition the ends so that they don't absorb too much color during the process. The ends of your hair tend to be the most porous
and have a tendency to really soak up color.
Boost That Shine :
Once your hair is completely dry, finish it off with a cool blast to seal the cuticle. If the cuticle is ragged, no shine.
Condition Your Hair :
Conditioning is not a step you want to skip. It adds protection to your hair by coating each strand against wear and tear and offers added shine as well. By coating each strand, it offers
easier detangling which will prevent your hair from breaking at this critical time.
Fine Hair and Conditioners :

Foods To Avoid For Healthy Hair :

include too many sweets, chocolate, cakes and cookies. Unfortunately, these favorites simply don't do a thing for your hair.
Gels For Your Hair :
If your hair has curl, a gel can be your best friend. Dry it to the stage where it is almost dry and then squeeze a little into your hand. Distribute it through your hair with your fingers and
then scrunch it through your hair. Allow hair to completely dry and the gel will hold it in place. What is especially nice is the fact that you can reactivate it teh next day by misting your
hair with water and scrunching again.
Going Red :
Your skin tones will play a big part in choosing the shade of red that you will choose. If you have olive skin tones, go for a cool red, while those with fair skin tones will look better with
a red/orange cast to the color.

with your fingers. Don't use the brush. This is the time when you can stretch the strands and weaken them to the point where they snap. The brush used on wet hair can also cause
frizzing to occurr. Don't pick up the brush until your hair is somewhere between damp and dry and then it is okay to use the blow dryer and a round brush until it is styled and completely
dry.
