Long hair tips and tricks

                                                        Long hair tips and tricks

Looking for great hair tips and tricks? Look no further! There's absolutely no denying that long hair needs special care. If you want your long locks to be as beautiful as they can be, it's essential to take care of them! Ladies, keep your hair looking beautiful with these great hair tips and tricks:



 Brushing and blow drying

After a shower, it's extremely important to not brush your hair until your hair is completely dry. Brushing your hair when it is still wet causes hair to break and even triggers the weakening of hair follicles. Trust me ladies, waiting for your hair to completely dry before brushing is very important and pays off.

If you don't feel like waiting for your hair to air dry and decide to blow dry it, be sure to use heat protecting hair cream or spray. Subjecting your hair to the high temperatures of a hair dryer can cause hair damage. We love! Icon Welder by Evo Hair  to protect your hair from the harsh heat.

                              

    Treat your scalp to a massage

Massaging your scalp with a hair and scalp therapy serum may sound clinical, but it pays off beautifully! Giving yourself a scalp massage with a great serum just two times a week will work wonders on your hair by nourishing the scalp and creating a strong foundation that will help your hair fight against breakage. Don't skimp out on the amount of time that you put into each massage-aim for a scalp massage that lasts one to two minutes.

  Prevent split ends in your sleep

                    

Pillowcases made of Satin or Egyptian-cotton create much less friction than ordinary cotton pillowcases. So, of course sleeping on these comfortable pillowcases will cause your hair to be less likely to tangle or break when you toss and turn in your sleep. I love the sharmooz 

                                            
                     Braids and ponytails         

When you braid your hair, make sure that you are not braiding it too tight. A braid that is too tight leads to hair stress and breakage. Besides, tight braids are totally out of style anyway, loose, relaxed braids are very inn right now. 

As you can guess, the same rules apply to ponytails too. When you put your hair up in a ponytail, make sure that you are not putting it back too tight. Never, ever use a ribbed rubber band for either of these hair styles and make sure that you undo them before you go to sleep.

Hair Looks: Whats Hot Now

                                           Hair Looks: What's Hot Now

If you're reading this blog, chances are you're interested in how styling your hair in a new way can give you a completely new look, to say nothing of a new attitude and outlook on life.
So, here are some of the hair looks for 2013 and 2014 that we've seen increase in popularity lately.
If "goth" calls up mental images of grungy kids hanging out in the food court, it's time to update your thinking. When Jennifer Lawrence arrived at the Toronto film festivalwith dark berry lips, heavy eye makeup and deep chestnut hair, fashion critics widely applauded her understated goth-glam look. 

Another "pretty punk" all-star is Florence Welch, 

the lead singer of Florence + The Machine. She often uses a deep, dramatic red hair color to add to her theatrical image. The trick here is not to take it too far; go with a deep hair color, but don't overcomplicate it with a fussy hairdo. Straigthened, french braids or a simple updo are good options.
Kate Upton, the two-time Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model, wisely amplifies her throwback, blonde-bombshell sex appeal with a wavy hairstyle that calls to mind the golden age of Hollywood. The inspiration is clearly cinema legends likeVeronica Lake 

and Rita Hayworth.

This hairdo might be a little too time-consuming for every day, but it looks timeless and lovely on formal occasions.
At the 2013 Emmy Awards last weekend, many female stars opted for a sideswept hairdo. Take a look at "Nashville" star Connie Britton,

supermodel Miranda Kerr 

andReese Witherspoon.

To create this look, you can either work with your existing hairstyle, like 

January Jones did, or opt for a much more dramatic haircut that is much shorter on one side than the other. Naturally, which option you will choose depends on your appetite for adventure and drama.

Hot fall hair color of the season, warm and spicy!

The hot Fall hair color of the season for 2013 pops like chestnuts on an open fire! Trend-setting celebs such as Beyoncé and Blake Lively set the season on fire with warmth and spice, so why not grab some matches and start a blaze of your own?

You've spent all summer perfecting that tan, so show it off with honey-toned tresses. If you have dark brown hair, using honey highlights is a great way to change with the seasons and show off your sweet side!

The traditional and timeless chestnut provides warmth as well as depth. Chestnut can come in a number of different, subtle tones, so be sure to tell your stylist you want "warm chestnut".

Who doesn't like chocolate? From milk chocolate to dark chocolate, the flavor of the season can cover any range of lightness or darkness to complement your style and skin tones. The best thing to do is to find a picture of the color you want and bring it in with you so that your stylist knows exactly what you want.

This fall, strike gold with strawberry gold! Also called "golden red", this color is very adaptable, suitable for work or fun and working well with any color you may wear.

Finally, the fun and flirty cinnamon puts a warm copper spin with its own natural highlights. A medium brown kissed with cinnamon hues, it makes the perfect statement that the platinum hues of Summer are gone, and Fall may now begin!
So crown yourself with the rich, darker shades of Fall and add a little warmth... and spice... to your look this year!
