Lets talk about hair.

There is no doubt that hair has always been an indicator of both social and professional status and it has been worn in different styles to represent religion.

In some cultures and religions, hair is viewed differently and has a significance.  For example, Buddhist monks shave their heads and beards to symbolise detachment from material possessions. Its also frowned upon for monks to dye or pluck out their grey hairs as they are reminders of the shortness of life and old age. In Sikh religion, it is traditional for hair to be kept uncut as hair is viewed as a symbol of strength and holiness which symbolises denial of vanity and acceptance of a simple life.

We often link hair back to our identity as it is something that is both personal and public. Sometimes people have ‘bad hair days’ which can mean their hair is too dry, frizzy, damaged or a bad hair cut and the list goes on. It may not seem like a big deal to have a ‘bad hair day’ but these can seriously affect a persons self esteem and confidence.

There will always be a new hair trend in style and everyone wants to get, here are some of the biggest trends in hair:

BOMBSHELL BEDHEAD

In the 1960s film actresses like Jane Fonda and Raquel Welch taught women that bigger is better when it comes to hair.

FARRAH HAIR

Charlie’s Angels star Farrah Fawcett had long, feathered locks and were a stark contrast to the long, hippy hair that has been a trend a decade before.

THE RACHEL

Celebrity stylist Chris McMillan created the perfectly coifed shag for Jennifer Aniston ‘Friends” character and started a worldwide phenomenon. This cut was not easy to maintain although this did not stop millions of 25 year old girls from trying it.

We've talked a lot about how to get glowing skin, but having healthy, radiant hair is also important to your aesthetics!
To maintain healthy hair, here are some golden rules provided by Stylish:

How often to I wash my hair?

Often, people make the mistake of washing their hair everyday! Although it is tempting to wash your hair daily to maintain cleanliness, you are also washing out vital oils which keep your hair healthy. You really only need to wash your hair two times to three times a week max!

Cool showers and scalp massages. 

When washing your hair it is good to avoid hot showers as hot water will dry out your scalp and create tangles.
Where you shampoo also counts in keeping that healthy hair. You should use shampoo on your scalp, not the ends of your hair! The shampoo will reach the ends as you wash it out; it's not good to scrub the ends. Also massaging your scalp is a good way to detoxify and encourage blood circulation.

Towel dry before applying conditioner. 

Before you apply conditioner, it is good practice to give it a gentle towel dry. This removes excess water in your hair, giving room for the conditioner to penetrate the hair shaft and deliver the necessary moisture. You may also squeeze out the water if short on time. Also concentrate on the ends and avoid the roots when conditioning!

Hair- drying Techniques. 

One of the worst things you can do to your hair is overheat it! So when blow drying your hair use a low- heat setting, keeping the nozzle pointed sideways and not downwards. Try flipping your hair upside down and move around, keeping the hair dryer at a distance. More movement creates more voluminous hair!

Taking care of your hair could be the highlight of your look~  Tina
