Going Stand Up!

I was out strolling in the mall yesterday looking for a hairdryer to replace the one my younger sister broke. A blowdryer or hairdryer is an electromechanical device designed to blow cool or hot air over wet or damp hair, in order to accelerate the evaporation of water particles and dry the hair. Blowdryers allow to better control the shape and style of hair, by accelerating and controlling the formation of temporary hydrogen bonds inside each strand. I was surprised at the different styles and designs but I needed to replace it because I needed one for work. In my line of work, looking good and not having a strand out o place is essential. I work in a fashion magazine as a receptionist and must always look my best.

I was deciding from a hand held blowdryer when the saleslady suggested a line of stand up hair dryers that I can purchase. I’m not familiar with the style but it seems to be a whole lot better than the usual kind. I like the idea that I can use both my hands to style my hair rather than just being limited to one. With the hand held hairdryer, I am forced to hold on to my hair and roller brush with one hand while I guide the hairdryer down the length of my hair. And with the length of my hair, this is very difficult to do. Taking a risk, I purchased the stand up hairdryer because of the convenience it offers. Besides, I have enough space in my room to place it. I’ve tried it out and I find it very satisfactory.

Going Bald

I have a son with special needs. He doesn’t talk and cannot walk. He also cannot support his upper body even while sitting down. He sometimes has spastic attacks wherein he’ll go stiff and grab hold of anything within reach. When he was still a toddler, he’ll accidentally grab his hair and I would have difficulties removing his hand until he relaxes again.

My husband and I decided to shave our son’s head every time his hair grows long enough to pull. We bought a hair clipper we can use on our son. It wasn’t too hard shaving his head because my husband and I would take turns holding the hair clipper and our son during his hair shaving sessions. Thankfully, this works for us.

Effective Natural Hair Care

Treat your hair to gentle daily cleansing that won’t damage the strands. Use Hempz shampoo, a complete line of natural hair care that harnesses the benefits of pure organic hemp seed oil. This ingredient improves the strength, shine, and condition of hair.

The Hempz formula also contains vitamins, proteins, anti-oxidants, and botanical extracts. It gives hair balanced and weightless moisture. The hemp seed oil nourishes and moisturizes hair from within to leave it strong, shiny, and manageable. Hempz shampoo is safe for all types of hair, even color-treated ones.

Go Natural

Different stylists and parlors stand by certain hair products and promote them incessantly. But how sure are you whether this is true? How sure are you that the expensive hair product that they use is the best care for your hair and scalp?

Quite honestly, I cannot afford to buy high-end products to better care for my hair and scalp but I have been able to resolve this dilemma. Through trial and error, I realized that every product whether it is for the hair, skin, or medication is always dependent on how your body responds to it. A product may work well for your friend but not for you and this is why there are many products in the market to choose from. For better hair and scalp care, try using an organic shampoo and go natural! The less chemical you use, the better it would be at just a fraction of the cost of high-end products. Just feel the natural softness of a infant’s head and you can’t get as natural as that!

Big Bows for Little Girls

When I was an infant I had a giant head with absolutely no hair, or at least that what I’ve been told and what I’ve recognized from pictures. What these old photos have also taught me is that my mother – desperate to identify me as a little girl – would tape all kinds of pink and purple hair bows to my head.

Not only was the taping of things to my head a questionable practice, in my mind at least, but you should have seen the size of these bows. They were enormous; I’m surprised that I could hold my head up or that I didn’t topple over from lack of balance.

My Secret

Whenever my friends and I see each other once a week, they always compliment on how I look different each time. One of them even asked me if I go to a parlor everyday to have my hair done! Another one asked if I had a personal hairstylist! I laughed and told them my secret.

I like to watch shows that do home makeovers like the kind of shows that teach about how to put on makeup and create a certain look. I also like shows that show how to make your hair turn out a certain way like as if you just got out of the parlor. It takes patience and your willingness to learn and look good that would make you look spectacular every time. So, I invested, bit by bit, on good quality makeup and titanium flat irons. I can make myself look anyway I want without having to spend thousands on a personal stylist. This is my secret.

Applying the Benefits of Plants on Hair

Phyto (also known as Phytologie and Phytotherathrie) was the first hair care company to recognize the benefits of plants in hair treatment. By carefully selecting the parts of each plant that contain the most beneficial, active substances, Phyto has created products formulated with high concentrations of sophisticated botanical compounds to meet the needs of specific hair types. Phyto hair care consists of products that address the needs to keep tresses in top condition. These products are shampoos and conditioners, scalp treatments and styling products. These products are effective for all kinds of hair whether they are curly or straight, colored or gray.

Phyto hair care applies the benefits of nature on the hair. The line uses plant-based, active ingredients to not only beautify the hair, but nourish and fortify it as well. Phyto hair products thicken thin hair, soothe and clarify the scalp, and hydrate and repair dry, damaged locks. By using glass, metal, and aluminum containers, Phyto products are able to limit the use of potentially harmful or irritating preservatives. Phyto Phytoaxil Energizing Shampoo cleanses and refreshes hair while fortifying the hair follicle for a thicker head of hair. It contains ginseng and zinc that strengthens and fortify the scalp; and shitake extract that nourishes hair. It is ideal for all hair types.

Keep It Sharp

Even little children know that machines were invented to make work easier. Science subjects teach about simple machines and their use. It would have been nice if they also taught how to prevent wear and tear of these machines. Knives are an example of simple machines that are commonly used. They have blades that come in handy.

Other machines with blades have more complicated designs. This makes blade sharpening more difficult too. Some blade sharpening services cause damage to the machine. Others sharpen off half of the blade. It is important to avail of proven services.

Nail Art

Nails are made of keratin, which is a tough protein. They have a primarily protective function to the fingers and toes. Aside from this, nails also have an aesthetic value. Since 3000 B.C., people have been known to paint their nails with polish.

Other forms of nail art have become famous among the younger generation. But this popularity has also influenced even those of older ages. Because of technology, nail art has become easier to apply. IBD gel nails make the use of nail art more fun and flexible.

Dandruff Solution

Dandruff is caused by a lot of factors. The hair products you use may be a major cause of dandruff. But it is also caused by too much stress and worrying. Lack of sleep as well as poor diet can also contribute to these factors. Toxins and pollutants in the environment are another set of culprit.

In order to avoid dandruff you need a change in lifestyle.

  • Get enough sleep – 6 to 8 hours per night is ideal
  • Watch your diet – make sure you eat balanced meal
  • Check the hair products you use – use a clarifying shampoo to avoid chemical build up on your hair and scalp
  • Organize your day – schedule only what you can accomplish in a day
