Washing hair problem - be practical!

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

This post is a bit beyond our topic, but this is about being practical in everything you do. I do believe that short hair fans have a good practical sense and if there are mothers in this community then they would like to hear this.

The age of 2 brings sometimes the fear for water. Washing your kid hair may become very stressful for both of you. Sometimes he doesn’t let you wet his hair; he is crying and begging you not to put water on his head. It doesn’t seem to be any logical explanation. You didn’t interrupt his games so he is not mad, you use “no more tears” shampoo so he is not hearting. If you’d talked to a psychologist he would tell you not to force him, anyway. It is the age when the child begins to experiences “the fear” and the only good thing you can do is to encourage him and be there for him. Postpone washing his hair and show him that you understand his fears. Next time you could try with a smooth sponge, it could work.

This is one of many phases a child goes through and makes a parent be a witness and guide of this awesome process of becoming a mature person.

Never forget that being practical on everything you do, not pressing things and trying not to overreact, being understanding and self confident is a very clever way to approach your life.

Woman in business suit

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

Since I noticed, women in business wear different hairdos from medium to very short style. They might be doing this because it is easy to style it every day in a different way. Having the possibility of changing your look very often gives you the advantage of being unique.

There is another benefit: once you choose to wear a classical line, short hair cuts can make the difference. A proper very short or bob style along with a couple of discreet jewelries make the businesswomen more powerful. Why is that? As I said in one article, it is still very important for a woman to look good in order to succeed in this world.

The main jewelry for women in business suits, wearing short hair is earrings. Pearls, gold or silver earrings made by hand are very appropriate for these women. A little necklace would also go very well. Anyway, don’t match the jewelries only to your outfit. They will shine on you only if you feel comfortably wearing them and if they fit your mood, too.

Hena

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

People have been using Hena for a very long time for dyeing their body and hair. It’s true that some of us use Hena only for naturally coloring our hair, but it also has some other cure characteristics.

I’d like to give you some information about the plant. It rises in Africa, Southern Asia and Northern Australia. It is a small tree, 2–6 m high producing red-orange dye molecule, lawsone. Those molecules are concentrated mostly inside leafs.

Hena has been used to dye skin, hair and fingernails, but also wool, leather or silk.

Hair care industry proposes Hena for its cure benefits:

1. Prevents dandruff and successfully fights against it

2. Prevents hair loss

3. Regenerates hair

4. Conditions hair

5. Maintain a healthy scalp

6. Adds brightness to the hair

7. Has a soothing and cooling effect on the scalp

Home hairstyling

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

 

Today I tried to style my own hair and well, I was really surprised of results. I didn’t expect to go so well but, honestly, I was very patient, too.

I read a lot of magazines about styling short hair by yourself: firstly you should correctly dry your hair, secondly you should use the appropriate hair products and the most important – take your time when styling.

In styling short hair at home I tried to give you a roadmap for succeeding without any hairstylist help.

Styling long hair is more difficult then short hair is, only if you don’t want a simple approach. We chose to describe styling the short hair here because the site is dedicated to short hair fans. The short style is generally done at the hair salon so the hairdo only needs a little modeling at home. We described the steps to follow in “Style your short hair by your own” article.
