Haircare tips

Hair is one of the most important beauties for humans. Hair loss may causes lack of confident in people. Proper care of our hair requires awareness regarding external application of products which are natural. Some effective ways to stop falling of the hair and promote growth:

1. Shampoo should not be used very frequently. Most of the shampoos have detergent and chemicals which are harmful for the health of our hair. Using shampoos alone over a period of time generates dandruff and then falling of hair.

2. Every third day would be sufficient for a cleansing effect.

3. Always massage coconut or mustard oil gently with finger tips before using shampoos.

4. Oil massage should be done few hours before taking bath.

5. Never use shampoo alone, always use equal quantity of mustard oil or any other oil such as coconut etc, along with shampoo available with the chemist.

6. Anti-Dandruff shampoo can be discontinued once dandruff is over.

7. While washing the hair during the bath, use a pressure shower on all parts of the head for 2-3 minutes to provide the natural lubrication along with the oil used in the shampoo.

8. No shampoo should be left or remain unwashed in the hair. Must wash with pressure shower twice daily i.e. , morning and evening/night and after hair dries a little, one should massage with non-greasy hair oil. This oil has no smell and does not stick to the clothes. It rather gives luster to the hair and makes them look lively.

9. Do not use the hard brush or hot dryer to dry the wet hair, let them dry naturally.
10. Perming and coloring is the worst thing for the hair. The chemical used in the perming such as hydrogen peroxide, can really destroy the hair due to after effects of dryness and dandruff created by the use.

If proper care is not taken then growing Baldness and Alopecia are the end results.

Easy Recovery Hair Tips

Probably you've been in a situation where you have damaged, dried, broken, dull, and irregular hair. Using a hair dryer, curling iron, too often or too much exposed to chlorine and the sun while swimming are the few reasons of these. Just relax; here are some solutions (other than wearing a wig) that can save your appearance.

1. Cut your hair, at least three inches to save the very dry and broken hair. No need to worry, it will grow anyway.

2. Your hair is in a crisis situation, so it needs a lot of attention. Make a deep conditioning therapy at the salon twice a week and regularly use leave-in conditioner after shampooing. It seems it was excessive, isn’t it? But your hair needs to be saved.


3. Avoid hair products that contain alcohol, such as hairspray, gel, or mousse. Read the product packaging to find out.


4. Do not shampoo every day. Choose a shampoo for dry hair types and do the wash every two or three days. Also, use cold water to keep your hair moist.


5. Finally, watch your food intake. Drink enough water and eat nutritious foods.

Male Pattern Baldness - Treatment Options

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Stefen_Arkinson]Stefen Arkinson

It's important to have as much knowledge of male pattern baldness as possible, in order to understand it better, which in turn will help you make better decisions in terms of its treatment. It is estimated that close to 95% of all cases of hair loss can be categorized as male pattern baldness. By the age of 50, most males have experienced male pattern baldness or male pattern hair loss (MPHL). Early identification of this problem will help you control it before you lose most of your hair.

Male pattern baldness

Typically, male pattern baldness is an inherited condition and either side of your family could be responsible for it. The primary reason behind male pattern baldness is a chemical called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This progressive condition begins with a receding hairline and also a balding at the crown. Many a times, hair loss on top of the head and the receding hair line occurs at the same time. The amount of hair loss suffered as a result of baldness differs from person to person. The result of a particular treatment option for baldness also differs from one person to another.

Treatment options

There is a range of male pattern baldness treatment options that you can use to manage your hair loss. Some of these treatment options like Propecia come highly regarded; they have undergone extensive clinical trials and therefore have proven results of efficacy. You can also choose from topical treatment options that are available in the form of lotions and shampoos. One such topical solution is Rogaine. Propecia, an oral tablet, offers a hair loss treatment solution in the form of a pill. You can only use it if you have been prescribed this medication by your doctor. You can also make your way to a hair restoration facility to get laser treatment to prevent hair loss. There are people who also choose to go for hair transplant surgeries in order to restore lost hair.

Propecia - Helping treat baldness the right way

Clinical studies have shown that Propecia is very effective when it comes to treating hair loss. This is a result of the action of its active ingredient, finasteride. Finasteride targets the primary factor responsible for baldness, dihydrotestosterone or DHT. It decreases the levels of DHT, interrupting the development of male pattern baldness. Propecia shows results in as little as three months. You need to take one Propecia tablet daily over a period of 1year to experience its benefits.

Buying Propecia

You will need a doctor's prescription to buy Propecia. A doctor will only prescribe this medication if he/she thinks it best suits your needs and requirements and that it will work positively for you. The medication is easily available at online, as well as, traditional pharmacies. When it comes to popular drugs like Propecia, there are always people who will try to sell you a copy of the real drug. Such fake drugs are cheaper and many-a-times people are taken in by their affordability. Buy only genuine Propecia and experience the best results. Buying fake medications will only result in unnecessary health problems. [http://www.propeciafinasteride.co.uk]Propecia Finasteride is an effective treatment for male pattern Hair loss.

Sunny's Hair Solutions:Hair Breakage

Is your hair stressed out from day to day wear? Are you experiencing breakage and brittleness? If you want to give your hair a break but still rock extensions here are some fabulous options you may like:

• Invest in a designer wig or an adjustable cap lace-front-that way you don have to apply glue to fasten it. Deep condition hair on your down time with a water-based moisturizer (we love Cantu Shea Butter leave-in) and an oil whether it be coconut oil or olive oil. Wearing a wig gives you the flexibility you need so that you can tend to your tresses as often as you'd like.
• Invest in a custom fall, which is basically like wearing a wig,but as custom suggests you can have it made any way you want with the hair of your choice. This too gives you some flexibility.
• If you choose to wear your own hair, then clip-in extensions should be your number one accessory! Add temporary volume and length with our favorite Lord and Cliffs 3 piece clip-in extensions.
  

Breakage is not natural, and is an indication of an imbalance within the hair strand. Broken hairs do not fall naturally from the head, but are typically a sign of mishandling or abuse. The proper treatments and balance of protein and moisture will help stop breakage in its tracks.

Looks we Love: Kerry Washington

It's been a minute! But wow! We love Kerry Washington and her effortless yet classic style.

To recreate her look:

• Sew in 6-8 ounces of Natural Straight Double Drawn Indian hair in 14"
• Use lightweight hairspray such as Air Control by Aveda
  
• Curl hair with 1" barrel by placing curling iron 2 inches down and wrap hair in a spiral pattern around barrel for 10-15 seconds
  
• Immediately transfer curl pattern to velcro rollers to allow hair to cool into curl pattern
• Create 1" part slightly off center
  
• Release hair from velcro rollers and apply more hair spray to keep curls and lightly separate hair with fingers for an effortless yet controlled coif

Get Her Look:Leigthon Meester-VMA Style

If you wanna vamp up your look, try Leighton's sexy tousled waves. Here are some step by step tips to attain your celebrity look if you have naturally way hair:
1. Start by washing your hair with a volumizing shampoo (clarifying shampoos can work well too, since they don’t weigh hair down).
2. Use a light, volumizing conditioner — but just on the ends of your hair. Gently work the conditioner through your hair using a wide-tooth detangling comb. If you have any snarls and tangles, make sure to get them out now because you won’t be combing or brushing your hair once you rinse.
3. Rinse well and wrap hair up in a towel. We love the super absorbent ones, since they really help speed up the drying process.
4. Once you unwrap your hair, it is extremely important that you do not comb or brush it out. This is essential to preserve your hair’s natural wave patterns as well as to take full advantage of the texture created by giving your hair some time to dry while wrapped in the towel.
5. Using your fingers, work a small amount of curl enhancing gel or texturizing curl spray all the way from the roots to the tips of your hair, scrunching and twisting random sections of hair as you go.
5. Allow hair to dry naturally, but make sure to periodically scrunch and tousle your hair as it dries.

If you don't have naturally wavy hair follow steps 1. and 2. and then:
3.Get hair completely dry
4.A curling iron works best for fine, straight hair. Separate half-inch pieces and wrap around the curling iron's barrel in a corkscrew fashion. Hold briefly, for less time than if you were going for a very curly look, then release.
5. Let sections cool and gently loosen with your fingers into waves.
6.The secret to a long-lasting tousle is the finishing step when styling it. A holding (not stiff) spray, like Aveda's Air Control Hair Spray, helps hold fine hair's new waves. To create the finishing, piecey look on curly or wavy hair, apply a styling wax or heavyweight balm, like Artec Texture Paste, just to the ends.

Who was the best Sunny's Girl? MTV VMA Awards

Make Your Hair Healthy and Beauty

In order to keep your hair fresh, healthy and beautiful, there are some bad habits that should be left. Then, do the following tricks to restore its beauty:


Hair tie
Your hair would be smashed if you tied it constantly. Do not tie your hair at the same place, but do tie at another different place. Choose the right elastic hair tie which fit your hair type.


Wet hair
We all know that wet hair is more easily combed. But, if you pull your hair from scalp to tip, you will damage your hair. Strand the tangled hair first, then comb from lower parts of your hair per part very smoothly.

Shiny hair
Your also damage your hair if you comb very often. You just need a few brushes to straighten your hair. Make your hair shiny by wrapping the outer parts of your hair with hair shiny-serum. Wrap it at the outer parts of your hair for good looking shine.


Hair Dryer
Drying your hair freshly after it washed, not just only difficult, but also can make your hair damaged. Wrap the hair with a towel for about five minutes and then let your hair dry for a minute with the wind and air. Finally, use a hair dryer to dry your moist hair for about of 20 minutes (maximum).


Scalp nutrition
Make your hair grow healthy and beauty by wrapping the scalp with nutrition. Massage the head with your fingertips to stimulate blood flow. Use special products for the scalp to the better effect.


Choosing Comb
Using inappropriate comb can make your hair style cracked. Use a rounded-comb to make your hair looks blow-swelled. For you who have standard hair, just use the regular comb.


Hair spray
Hair spray contains a polymer substance that can hold moisture but not dangerous. Use just enough hair spray and in certain moments alone.


Dandruff
Dandruff is an inflammatory disorder of dry scalp. Treat and use a shampoo that contains salisil acid, zinc, selenium sulfide, and tar.

Looks we Love: Tyra's Real Hair!

She's a Sunny's Girl after all. There was initially some skepticism about her declaration of Wear your Own Hair Day.

But... we must say that she does embody our thoughts on hair extensions, they are meant to be the ultimate accessory...not the ultimate necessity.

We at Sunny's always encourage women to take care of their hair underneath their wigs and extensions to ensure that you can continue to switch up your look and be just as proud of your real hair as you are of your hair extensions and wigs!

My Daughter Solid Hair Ball

Thank you. Here are the before and after photos of my daughters hair which became severely matted when she was confined in a spica cast for a femur fracture (break in the upper leg bone). She was in too much pain to move the first few days so I could not comb the back of her hair. In a just that short time a large amount of hair had formed into a solid ball that I could not even begin to get a comb into.

An internet search lead me to you.

I had limited success at first then it seemed no further progress was possible and she was going to lose most of the hair on the back of her head. I called the tangled hair hot line at that point gave me a few more things to try and, most importantly, convinced me that I really could get the tangle out. It took a few more days, but I made so much progress on the first day after that call, I could see it was definitely possible and my daughter is back to having a beautiful head of hair.
3 before and after photos attached here.

Poll: Thoughts on National Wear your Own Hair Day???

As a group who not only sells hair extensions but lives for hair extensions... we aren't quite sure what to make of Tyra's declaration that she is going hair extension free.

After years of benefitting from the versatility and protection that wearing wigs and hair extensions offer why should everyone now be directed by Tyra to wear their own hair?

While we at Sunny's are always encouraging women to take care of their own natural hair and to give themselves a break from the toll that hair extensions can take on your hair... we don't think that any hairnista should force another hairnisita to discard her hair extensions just because we decided we want a break from ours....

So we'll let you Sunny's Girls weigh in on this:

Is your hair aging you??

A new interesting product on the market taps into women's fear of aging.... as if we need one more anti-aging product to purchase. But they do make an interesting point... just as skin gives away your age...maybe your hair is to. Read more about the product and decide for yourself.
