Workout Hair: How to Manage your Hair During Exercise


Many of us avoid working out because we don't want to deal with our hair or we just don't know how to. It's sometimes a lot of work but with everything there's always a solution.
The obvious options to managing hair are: wearing hair in a ponytail, wearing headbands to control flyaways or bangs, putting hair in a braid and/or wearing a hat or visor.

While these options are great lets really look into them as well as ways we can manage our hair after we've worked out.
1.Block excess sweat. Although perspiration is a good thing while working out, the natural salt from perspiration can dry out delicate roots near the scalp. If sweat is a problem, consider wearing a wide cotton headband that will absorb the sweat from your forehead before it makes contact with your scalp or bangs.

2.Avoid wearing a baseball hat or similar type of headgear. Caps may actually block the sweat glands, which can leave hair drying sweat spots along your hairline. Even worse, many caps will provide you with an instant smashed look that might be challenging to erase after your workout is over.

3.If swimming is part of your regime, apply a leave-in conditioner to your hair before you dive in. Wear a cap when possible. Wetting your hair with water completely before, and right after, will help prevent excessive chlorine damage.

4.When pulling hair hair in a ponytail or a braid, make sure you're doing it loose enough so that your hair can breathe. This will also prevent your hair from breaking.

5.Although steamy showers seem tempting after a grueling workout, avoid hot water shampoos that can dehydrate your stands.Lukewarm water is always best for shampooing your hair under any circumstances. Indulging in steam baths, saunas or Jacuzzis can also dry out your strands. Always apply a dab of leave-in conditioner to your stands or wrap a towel around your strands to further block hair damaging heat.

Bed Head:How to Protect your Hair while you Sleep



Have you been waking up to rough, knotty hair or finding your hair on your pillow? When we toss and turn, dragging or rubbing our heads and hair across the fabric of our pillows we can snag the cuticle layer of the hair against the fibers on the pillow. This rubbing results in roughing up the surface of the hair shaft and leads to the tangles and knots.

Here are some tips to keep your hair healthy even while you sleep:
-Sleep with hair in a braid especially if you have long hair or wrap your hair
-Use a silk or satin pillowcase to sleep on
-Use a satin or silk night cap or scarf to tie down hair
-For curly hair, roll your curls and use bobby pins to secure then, this will avoid marking and will cut out the discomfort if you were using rollers

Short Styles

Any kind of styling of head hair is known as a 'Hair Style'. Being one of the most striking attributes of our physical self, hair styling is a major part of personal grooming and aesthetics. Like everything it can range from the mundane and presentable to the unique and bizarre. The styling and the condition of one's hair say a lot about oneself and can very often be one of key factors in shaping impressions about any person. The choice of any hair style depends on various factors like sex, body and face shape, lifestyles and work-place setups. Your query is not very clear as you haven't mentioned the sex and other information about whom the hair style is intended for. It would therefore not be possible to directly suggest a particular type of short hair style, but we can give you a few general tips.The size and shape of one's body and face along with skin color play a big role in determining hair styles. Short hair styles are considered very versatile and can be carried of very well by most people. They are of course more popular with men than women. For women, short hair styles are recommended only for women with lean, sharp, but delicate features. They can be carried off very well in both formal and informal setups. While short hair does not require much time and effort in daily maintenance, it needs hair-cuts at frequent and regular intervals in order to keep the hair style. This of course depends one the speed and evenness of your hair growth.Males can choose from extremely short styles like the crew cut and buzz cut in which the scalp is more or less visible. Moderately short hair styles include a Caesar cut, in which the hair is combed down on the fore head, a comb over, where the hair is parted and combed across, spikes, where the hair is made to stand up like spikes, mowhawk, which is basically a tuft of hair at the center of one's head which appears like a single spike, and a pompadour, where the hair is combed backwards, completely exposing one's forehead. Females can opt for a simple or a varied crop, where the hair is cut close to the scalp or a crew cut, in the extremely short hair style category.

Hair Wedding

The tradition of wearing flowers in the hair on a wedding day began many centuries ago; ancient Greek brides used to wear a floral crown of herbs and flowers such as rosemary and marjoram. The Romans too used floral crowns for weddings and it was tradition to place the crown on both bride and groom during the wedding ceremony. The floral crown was a symbol similar to that of exchanging wedding rings today; it was an unbroken ring of innocence, purity and ternity.Summer weddings are ripe for an outdoor setting such as a beach, a garden, or a beautiful yard. Take advantage of the long days with an afternoon wedding, or highlight the glorious sunsets by saying your vows as the sun goes down behind you. Use fresh fruits and vegetables to decorate -- perhaps including clementines and cumquats in your flower arrangements, or simply filling a large vase with bright yellow lemons. Bring light to an evening wedding with torches and strings of lanterns in the trees. An extra-summery idea is to use gingham tablecloths with a few sunflowers in metal watering cans as centerpieces.

Short Hair Cut

With thanks to the media explosion, people are becoming increasingly aware of their appearance. And more so of the ever changing trends, fashions and fads. And it is not just about clothes, but , cosmetics, accessories and all else that makes for an individual's complete appearance. What is even more interesting is that women are ready to experiment and tread into those zones where only a few adventurous ones would. And thankfully, women have realized that age is a matter of only a formality, as one can be as ageless as ever, thereby donning any look they want.And so, a short haircut is not just meant for the school-going children, or adventurous college-going youngsters, or the hardworking career women, who are rubbing shoulders with their male counterparts. Even the fulltime homemakers and after forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, enter salons requesting for trendy short haircut styles.But then, obviously people remember also the respectability they need to maintain and so, those into their forties restrict themselves to something that is in fashion and avoid the funky haircut styles that are meant for the younger lot. It is not a matter of age where this is concerned, but respectability. And in order to command respect from the younger lot, one needs to be fashionable in dignified way.
