How To Achieve Straight Hair Without Spending A Fortune

Posted by Charlotte Howard on May 18, 2011 at 8:00pm

While you could always go to an expensive salon and have potentially harmful chemicals spread all over your head, there are natural ways to get the straight hair you want.  I will show you how to achieve straight hair with  some simple, inexpensive techniques.  These techniques will only be temporary, but it can give you the luxurious straight hair you want for a special event.

The first step is to invest in a quality flat iron.  You should buy a little better, and more expensive, model from your hairstylist or a beauty supply store because the quality of the iron is higher which means better heating surfaces as well as temperature controls.

The next step is to buy a thermal protective spray for your hair, this can help protect your hair from heat damage.  This is especially important if you will be using your flat iron on a regular basis.

Wash your hair and use a quality conditioner.  Since using a flat iron can really dry your hair out, you may want to leave your conditioner on for a little longer than normal.

Towel dry your hair thoroughly, apply a leave in conditioner,then gently comb your hair with a wide toothed comb.

Blow dry your hair the rest of the way.  Using attachments that will allow you to get the blow dryer closer to your hair will make a big difference. After the hair is dry, brush it out completely to get out any tangles and snarles.

Separate your hair into sections and pin the areas you aren't working on, up on top of your head.  Taking your hair in sections about 2" wide and about 1/2" thick, than clamp it into the flat iron close to your scalp. 

Than smoothly, and slowly, pull the flat iron through your hair.  Make sure you keep the move one fluid motion because if you don't you could end up with horizontal lines in your hair and getting them out will require more passes of the flat iron and more damage to your hair.

If you see a little steam rising from your hair, that is normal since your hair still has some moisture in it.  If, on the other hand, you hear your hair sizzling that is not normal and you should readjust the temperature settings.

Continue doing this with small sections of hair all over your head.  Make sure to carefully examine your hair so you don't miss a section since that would look a little weird! Once you've gotten all your hair straightened make sure to avoid adding any moisture since that will cause it to curl up and get frizzy.

If you want to make sure your style stays put, apply some hairspray once you have the look you want.

That's it! You've gone from curly and wavy to straight and exciting.  Just follow these simple tips on how to achieve straight hair and you can save yourself a lot of money by being able to do it yourself and also less damage to your hair by not adding a lot of harsh chemicals.

3 Easy Steps to Avoid Gray Hair

Posted by Charlotte Howard on April 13, 2011 at 1:00am


If you want to know when you will turn gray, one thing you can do is look at your parents.  How early in your life you'll gray will depend quite a bit on genetic factors.  Graying is a natural part of aging and happens when the cells in the hair shaft stop making pigment.  That lack of pigment will make the hair lose most of it's color and turn gray.  But the good news is that while you may not be able to stop from getting gray you can slow down the process and learn how to avoid gray hair for a while.

Here are some tips you can take that can slow down the advance of your gray hair:

1.  I don't want to sound like a nag, but if you don't want gray hair early in life, give up the cigarettes.  It has been scientifically proven that smoking will age your whole body, inside and out, and that aging includes making your hair go gray.  If you are serious about preventing gray hair for as long as humanly possible, the first thing you have to do is stop smoking, you'll look younger everywhere not just your hair.

2.  Another thing that has been proven to age you, everywhere, is stress.  We do live in a very stressful society, we're told that every time we turn on the t.v.  But what you're not told is that there are a lot of things you can do to relax.  It really depends on the person, some people will find reading a good book relaxing while others find it more enjoyable to go on a nice long run. Whatever works for you try to fit in some relaxing activity at least daily, even if it's only for a few minutes. 

Many people will think they are just too busy to fit in something relaxing, but for almost everyone that's just not true.  No matter how busy you are you can probably find a few minutes to de-stress.  It's really just a matter of priorities.  Instead of getting stressed out reading the paper or watching the nightly news, why not relax by doing some activity you actually enjoy?  Pretend like your life depends on it.

3.  Are you getting enough metal in your diet?  The breakdown that causes gray hair can be found when your body isn't getting enough copper.  The good news is that there are many things you can do to get more copper into your diet.  You can take a supplement, or you can eat foods that have a lot of copper such as lima beans, spinach, yams, and meat.

Today we don't have to just go with the flow when it comes to getting older.  As a matter of fact many of us have found that instead of aging gracefully we'd rather just age slowly!  There is a new attitude of youth and health in our society.  We no longer think of ourselves as old as soon as we cross the 40 year old threshold, as a matter of fact, many don't think of themselves at old at 50 and over!  So if you're young at heart and want to look your age, you will be happy to learn how to avoid gray hair.  These simple lifestyle changes can pay dividends in many aspects of your life, so enjoy!

Men Can Avoid Hairloss In 4 Easy Steps

Posted by Charlotte Howard on April 15, 2011 at 1:00am


In our society, a man losing his hair as he ages has long been held as one of those inevitable things in life, such as death and taxes, and that there isn't anything that can be done to stop it. Fortunately for many men, science has made advances in understanding what causes hair loss and finding effective ways to stop it and possibly even reverse it.  That means that you can learn how to avoid hair loss in men.

Scientists used to think that baldness was an inherited trait, but new research is showing that that may not be the case.  We now know that an overabundance of the hormone DHT might actually play a role in hair loss.  When your body has too much DHT it tends to lead to what is called Follicular miniaturization. That means the hair shaft becomes smaller and smaller over time. 

Here are some things you can start doing right now. These tips will help you keep your hair and scalp healthy so you can minimize the effects of DHT(Dihydrotestosterone) and stop, or at least slow down, your hair loss:

1. Keep your head clean.  All the hair products you use on a day to day basis can build up on your scalp and prevent the hair follicles from growing properly. Thoroughly washing your scalp every day can help remove that buildup which can  keep the coast clear for new hair growth.

2. Great hair starts on the inside.  No part of your body can function at it's best if your body isn't getting the nutrition it needs.  Eating a well balanced diet will pay many dividends, not the least of which is healthy hair. Make sure you get plenty of zinc, copper, and lean protein in your diet by eating things like: fish, leafy green vegetables and eggs.  Also make sure to drink plenty of water, that will keep your body and your hair properly hydrated.

3. Use shampoos that amp up the hair you still have. These volumizing shampoos can make your hair thicker so use them on a regular basis.

4. You can also make a trip to your doctor or your local pharmacy. There are many prescription and over the counter hair loss treatments that have shown to be effective for some men. Remember, not all products work for all people so it may be necessary for you to do a little trial and error.  Also keep in mind that many of the prescription drugs for hair loss have a lot of unpleasant side effects.  Carefully discuss these possible side effects with your doctor or pharmacist before you choose which product to use.

We're  lucky we live in a day and age where science is learning more and more about many of things we had for so long thought to be inevitable.  We now know that we can learn how to avoid hair loss in men.  By following the simple tips above you can dramatically reduce your hair loss and maybe even regrow some of the hair you've lost.

Beauty Magazines: Should You Purchase Them?

Posted by Charlotte Howard on April 30, 2011 at 8:00am

When waiting in line at the supermarket checkout, have you ever ended up buying a beauty magazine that you saw by the checkout counters? If you have, you are definitely not alone. While a large number of individuals, possibly just like you, purchase beauty magazines on occasion or as an impulse buy, many others have to have copies of all beauty magazines and on a monthly or even a weekly basis at that. While it is okay to have a collection of beauty magazines, you need to be careful about wasting your money.

When it comes to buying beauty magazines, there are many individuals, especially first time buyers, who wonder if beauty magazines are really worth the money. In all honesty, you will find that it depends. Beauty magazines come in a number of different formats and they are made and published by different individuals and companies. For that reason, no two beauty magazines are really the same. That is why you should examine each beauty magazine individually to determine whether or not it is worth your money.

One thing that you will want to examine is the contents of a beauty magazine. Beauty magazines, as previously stated, have different materials inside of them. If you are looking for something in particular, like how to keep your face clean and free of pimples, you may want to make sure that the magazine you are interested in buying covers that problem. If it does, the magazine in question may be worth your money, but if not, it may actually end up being a waste of your money.

What you also need to remember is that beauty magazines are not the only way that you can go about familiarizing yourself with the latest in beauty and fashion trends, as well as get tips on how to improve your appearance, beauty wise. You should also know that you can turn to the internet. Online, you may be able to find online beauty magazines, which are similar to the printed magazines sold in stores, but they come in online formats and many are offered free of charge. You may also find online websites that are designed to offer you free tips. There also online websites that have beauty message boardson them. These message boards are nice because you can not only get free beauty tips online or share tips that you know, but you can also make an online friend or two.

Yes, beauty magazines are not all that expensive. In most cases, you will find that beauty magazines cost around three or four dollars an issue. With that in mind, however, you need to remember that some people have a hard time with buying just one beauty magazine. Beauty magazines, over time, can get fairly costly; therefore, you will want to make sure that you examine each magazine that you want to buy before actually doing so. Even if you stop yourself from buying a beauty magazine even just five months out of the year, you may enjoy your extra savings.

In short, the decision as to whether or not you want to buy a beauty magazine or a number of them is your decision to make. However, with that in mind, it is important to remember that you don’t need to buy a beauty magazine to get beauty tips and information on the latest trends. If you do decide to buy beauty magazines though, you will at least want to take a few minutes to skim through them. This will give the opportunity to see if the magazine or magazines in question are really worth your money.

Mr. Roger Gore the President & CEO of G'Natural is the black MALE version of Madame CJ Walker-wow, they even share the same birthday!

No, not even black owned companies had what he needed! So guess what? Like Madame Walker he created the solutions he was looking for! He's been the hairstylist of choice for many african american stars of the stage, TV, screen, politics, music etc..and he like other product creators and manufacturers can sell his wares in beauty supply chains, retail stores, and of course the internet and keep ALL the money in his pocket!
