Superstar Stylist Shares Secrets For Great Hair

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Hair keeping specialist Tim Rogers, who has among his clients Yoko Ono, Missy Rayder, Diane Sawyer, Kelly Gray, Samantha Boardman and Amanda Peet, combed through a few of the secrets he gives celebrities when they have a bad hair day and came up with some you may apply:

Q. Some guidance on how I be able to take better maintenance of my hair?

A. Wash hair no more regularly than each other day. Water can be very drying to hair, exacerbating frizz and static flyaways. Wash with lukewarm water and always follow with a conditioner. Protect color-treated hair. Recent Results Colour Bright shampoo and conditioner are created purposely for treating and protecting multitonal hair shades. Don’t forget sunscreen. The sun’s rays can strip away accepted oils as successfully as the pigment that gives hair its color. The sun can weaken hair cuticles, causing peeling, breaking and detach ends. Shelter hair with a hat and products with UV filters and keratin, for strength and flexibility.

Q. I need a current hairstyle. Be able to you help?

A. Take advantage of the multitude of virtual stylists on the Internet. Online, you can access info on trends 24/7. There’s step-by-step styling recommendation in video you be able to play, pause, rewind and download to identify how to get the fashion you like.

Q. I’m thinking of changing my hair color from blond to red. What’s the best method?

A. Redheads aren’t definite by “light or else dark” but by tone. Consider which works with your skin. Glossing treatments deposit tone with no lightening hair for most reflection and smallest damage. They’re a big way to deliver customized shades of red.

Q. I’m a male and I effectively like my current tiny hairstyle but it requires multiple styling products particularly created for women. Are there multipurpose products men be able to utilize?

A. Several well great unisex styling lines-like the latest one from Charles Worthington London-have what you require. For tiny hair, wax sticks otherwise gel strips are fabulous multipurpose options for care hair in place, taming flyaways otherwise giving it a textured, spiky look. My favorite products from this Clever Fixx line are the H2O Styling Strips, which you be able to obtain at drugstores. Just insert the gel to wet hair with your fingertips. The strips come in a manageable pocket pack for on-the-go styling.

Condition for your hair type, says celebrity stylist Tim Rogers.

Beating the bad hair cut blues

Friday, August 14th, 2009

The dreaded bad hair cut goes way beyond a bad hair day and if it hasn’t happened to you already, sooner or later it most probably will!

You can straighten a perm, curl sleek hair and you can dye over a disastrous colour but until your hair grows a few centimetres more, there’s no escaping a bad hair cut.

So what do you do if a confidence sapping hair cut befalls you?

First of all you need to tell your stylist. Chances are that you’ll not realise it’s been poorly cut until you’ve reached home and have had a chance to ‘play’ with it. If you’re truly not happy and feel that remedial measures have to be taken, give your stylist a call and explain why you’re dissatisfied and discuss the possibility of another appointment to try to correct what is possible. If the stylist is one that is new to you, you may want to ask her to fix the cut as best she can and perhaps make a note not to return. However, when this happened to me a few years ago, I changed salon altogether, because I just could not trust my hair to that ‘Edward Scissorhands’ hairdresser again!

If the blunder was the work of your regular, tried and tested stylist however, it’s often better to forgive and forget and allow them to make amends.

Following a bad hair cut you will be depressed by how slowly your hair actually grows, half a millimetre a day (15cm a year) seems to be about the average. It may grow faster or slower depending on your age, genetics and your hormonal state (pregnancy seems to have an affect on hair for example). But truly, it shouldn’t take too long for your hair to grow to a stage where the cut and style appears more acceptable and soon enough you’ll be booking another appointment and restoring some normality to your locks. In the meantime, there are solutions less drastic than a wig or a hat to help you through:- 

  • Try adding some body to straight hair with Velcro rollers or a curling iron. Adding some waves and curls will help disguise any cuts that are too blunt.  If your hair is wavy or kinky, straighten it out while blow drying to give it some length.
  • If you hair’s long enough, pull it back and leave a few strands around your face to give the illusion of longer hair. At sites like Hair Updos you’ll find the best updo hair style  images so you can find the perfect updo style for you that will tide you over while your hair grows out.
  • Use pretty hair accessories such as barrettes, pins, clips and butterfly combs to pull back your hair in problem areas.
  • Headbands come in so many styles, from beaded to crocheted that you’re bound to find one you like. Headbands are a great and fun way to hold back a badly cut fringe.
  • If your fringe is too short, blow dry it straight down and sweep it to the side. Then secure with a hair clip or bobby pin.
  • You can find clip-on hair extensions such as plaits and straight hair pieces in department and discount stores everywhere. Pull your hair back off your face and clip on a pony tail and for a while you’ll forget all about your hair problems.
