r3.jpg1. Be true to yourself

Don’t choose a hairstyle that makes you feel not yourself. Brides often get pressured into certain styles because of “tradition”. If a particular style makes you feel uneasy, don’t choose it. It does not matter that your mother, best friend or hairstylist like it - what really matters is YOU.

2. Develop a clear idea

Before going to the stylist, try to develop a good idea of what type of hairstyle you would like. Cut out the pictures of your favorite hairstyles from magazines and bring them to the stylist. If you can’t find any pictures, be prepared to describe exactly what you want.

3. Do a practice run

Try out the hairstyle in advance, before your wedding day. Schedule the “practice run” with your stylist. If the hairstyle that you envisioned does not look as good on you as you had hoped, you’ll be glad you found that out before the big day! Read the rest of this entry »

How salon shampoos works?

July 15th, 2008 by beauty

salon-shampoo.JPGSalon shampoos, biotin shampoos, or any other haircare product, it’s important to understand how salon shampoos work to keep your hair clean and healthy.

Shampoos are primarily made up of cleansers called surfactants. These surfactants remove dirt, sebum, and build-up from the hair and scalp, and rinse off easily and completely. But how do surfactants do their magic?

Surfactant molecules are hydrophobic, or water-hating, on one end, and hydrophilic, or water-loving, on the other. This way, as each molecule is introduced to the hair shaft, the hydrophobic end adheres to pollutants, pulling them from the hair. Then, when the hair is rinsed, the hydrophilic end gravitates to the passing water, taking the pollutants with it and down the drain. Remember, thorough rinsing is critical to the successful outcome of the cleansing action.
