Hair problems and solutions for men

Your hairstyle can speak volumes about your grooming and your overall health. Most men take their hair for granted and do not do anything about them until they are completely gone and there is no way you can retrieve them. From time immemorial, many myths have been doing the rounds about men’s hair. Check out these interesting myths about men’s hair and their truth.

1. A hair cut can make you hair grow faster
Most men believe that cutting hair frequently can help it grow faster. The fact is however far from the myth. As a hair shaft does not have nerves, cutting your hair does not have any major impact on its growth. Hair is essentially protein and in order that it grows lusciously, a proper diet, healthy sleeping and basic nourishment with minerals and vitamins is all you need for optimal growth.

2. Split ends can be treated

The only treatment for a split end is to trim the ends that are damaged. Split ends appear when the hair shaft is damaged due to dryness caused by sun exposure, chemicals, chlorinated pools, rough handling of hair like tugging and combing tangled hair and also when combing your hair while it is wet. Trim the split ends, protect your hair from sun and chemicals and shampoo, and condition them regularly as well.

3. Hair can be trained to grow in various patterns
Unfortunately, hair grows in an established pattern and this is permanent. While you can blow dry your hair to change this pattern, this is only a temporary solution. Hair anomalies can be concealed with the help of a good stylist who can highlight your good features and conceal the bad ones.

4. Specialized shampoos can make your hair grow faster
This is not true, as most people will have hair growth of about half an inch a month. No significant growth can be attained with any product. To attain the best shaft growth, take a balanced diet with adequate minerals and vitamins and leave you hair clean and well conditioned.

5. Dandruff can spread to others 
This is one of the commonest myths that we all believe in. Dandruff is caused due to a variety of factors like yeast sensitivity, deficiencies in diet, seborrhea dermatitis, stress etc. Fungal infection caused by malassezia can also cause flare-ups in some people. The cause of dandruff must be diagnosed and treated adequately and it definitely does not spread to others.

6. Baldness is inherited form the mother’s side Though baldness is hereditary, not just the mother’s genes are to be blamed as widely believed. It can be caused due to a combination of genes and hormones that can be inherited from either or both parents.

7. Tight hats cause hair loss Most men still believe in this myth. The truth is that tight hats can damage hair, but never make you bald. For becoming bald with tight hats, you will have to wear it for years continuously so that the hair follicles are killed.

Organic Hair Care Products

When going to the store to buy hair care products we tend to buy them based on their
advertisements, smells, and packaging designs. In example, we buy the best smelling shampoo
and conditioner, or the best brand name items. We also buy the hair dye that we see in
commercials on television or hair styling products based on their packaging. However, we
should be paying more attention to what ingredients are used to make these products
and the harm that these products tend to cause not only our hair, but even our health. This is why organic hair care products need to be recognized and used more often.

Hair Dye:
Most non-organic hair dye contains ammonia, which smells awful and causes burning and
itching of the scalp. It also contains resorcinol which can cause the skin to peel, but it also
contains lead! Lead is known to be a potent neurotoxin that builds up within the soft tissue and
bone. Resorcinol is also a suspected carcinogen which is a chemical that causes cancer.

So as you can see, non-organic hair dye is quite bad for you, however, organic hair dye doesn’t
contain any of these ingredients. Aubrey Organics brand hair dye is 100% natural. It contains
no harmful synthetic chemicals, nor does it contain ammonia or resorcinol. It is Vegan safe
and its herbal formula contains no phenylenediamine, no coal tars, and no synthetic colors,
preservatives or fragrances.

Shampoo & Conditioner:
When washing your hair with shampoo you are expecting to wash out the excess oil, moisture,
and dirt because those are the duties of shampoo. However, non-organic shampoo strips the
hair of its natural moisture due to its harsh and potentially harmful chemicals.

On the other hand, organic shampoos contain nutrient-rich botanicals that infuse and nourish
the hair with moisturizing oils and vitamins that leave the hair soft and healthy, not only by
touch and appearance, but on the inside as well. Some brands of organic shampoo are Rahua
Voluminous shampoo and Rahua original shampoo by Amazon Beauty and Calendula shampoo
& body wash by Weleda.

Following the use of non-organic shampoo is non-organic conditioner that probably smells good, but isn’t very helpful to your hair. Everyone uses conditioner to moisturize their hair so that it is soft and looks clean and healthy. Unfortunately, most conditioners tend to only make your hair look and feel that way for a short time. Once that short amount of time is up, your hair starts to look very dirty and oil filled.

Organic conditioner deeply penetrates and infuses the hair with rich moisture. It also helps the
hair and scalp with nutrient-rich botanicals. Rahua Voluminous conditioner & Rahua normal
conditioner by Amazon Beauty are also some recommended organic conditioners. Also, if you
like leave-in conditioner, there is the “Feed Your Ends” leave-in conditioner by Yarok that is
recommended as well.

Styling:
When it comes to styling your hair the first thing that comes to mind is all of the styling products you are going to need to use for your hair to stay the way you would like it to. I have heard of a few organic styling products that are great for your hair and are not harmful to your hair, scalp or health. One of them is the Rahua finishing treatment by Amazon Beauty. It is a styling product that prevents your hair splitting during styling, blow-drying, and flat ironing. There is also the Organic Volumizing Spray by Intelligent Nutrients and Sweet Orange & Silk Protein Styling Gel by John Masters Organics.

So, next time you are in the store buying shampoo and conditioner, or even styling products, try to remember how harmful non-organic hair products can be to your body.

Easy Men's Hairstyle

Though not talked about much till recently, men’s hair is now attracting the lime light. Especially in the recent times, men have gained enough ‘looks’ consciousness, that they take care of their skin, hair and fitness just like any woman. This section of the article speaks about the various popular hair styles along with tips, advices and techniques related to men’s hair.

1) A military hair cut which is popular among men is the simplest to achieve and the easiest to maintain. You can just get your hair done in this style using a hair trimmer on the sides of the scalp. The hair on the top portion is cut to the desired length (usually short), and gradually merges with the length of the hair on the sides.
The proportions of length of hair on sides and top can be varied giving to give it a unique look according to your looks and preference. If you have a very lean neck, this style may not be your cup of tea! This style looks extremely elegant on few men and it actually helps men save their time in maintaining their hair style. It is typically suitable for men in equatorial, coastal and other hot and humid regions.

 2) Punk is another sought after choice by men for styling their hair. It usually involves shorter hair at the sides and back of the scalp and longer at the top. The length choice is of course yours. The longer hair at the top is gelled, groomed and shaped to give attractive and trendy appearances.
Coloring the hair in contrasts or just single colored appearances can enhance and highlight the punk. You can also sport a trendy beard to balance an entirely fashionable hair style. This kind of styling mostly is opted by younger men. Note that the attire you carry should be able to handle the load of this fashion type.

 

3) Formal style: Is often preferred and most suitable for all men of all age groups. It goes with all formal attires and semi casual outfits. This style though, does not involve any complicated make over or maintenance regimes, it can be just trimmed, groomed and decorated to give a unique and adorable look to your overall appearance. Gelling, applying faint shades of colors and posing a shoe cut side locks can help improve the looks. 











 
4) Messy hairstyle for men: Look at yourself in the mirror as soon as you get up from bed! This hairstyle is exactly what you are trying to replicate! But note that for this look and feel, hair length should be at least medium, so as to cover up your eyebrows, eyes and ears. But remember to keep the hair clean and fresh always.
 

 Men’s hair loss has become a serious issue especially in urban pockets. A major advantage of this hairstyle is that men who have baldness in certain areas of the scalp can cover it up. Wet feel of the hair and sporting stubble along with this hairstyle gives an attractive image. This hairstyle can also carry most varieties of corrective eye glasses and sunglasses. 


 
I Hope this post Easy Men's Hairstyle might be helpful to u.

Beauty Tips on Hair Care, Skincare, and Much More 

One key to feeling great is looking good. Women tend to feel good about themselves when they have the confidence of knowing they look great, too. Here are some beauty tips on hair care, skincare, and more to help you look your best.

Hair Care

Take extra time when you wash your hair from this point forward. After you shampoo your hair, use a separate conditioner. Leave the conditioner in your hair for a couple of minutes before washing it out. This will take longer in the shower, but the results will be worth the extra effort. Your hair will be softer and silkier, and your hair won't look dry. You can also use coconut oil for hair as this helps keep your hair looking its best.

To keep your hair from looking flat or dull, use extra big hair rollers to give your hair large curls. This will instantly add volume to your hair and make it look as if you spent hours in a salon getting your hair done.

Don't allow your hair color to look one dimensional. This can make your hair look lifeless. Add life and shine to your hair by adding highlights, which will add dimension and depth. This will make your hair look beautiful and healthy.

Skincare

 
Start taking care of your skin by drinking water throughout the day. The key is to keep your body hydrated, so it doesn't have to pull water from your skin. This will keep your skin from drying out and make your skin look healthy, too.

Keep your skin looking healthy by washing your face only once or twice each day with a mild cleansing agent. Stay away from harsh products that cause redness and irritation. If acne is a problem, try an over the counter acne medication for sensitive skin. Never pick at your face because the acne could spread, or you could damage your skin and cause scarring.

Choose your make-up carefully. You want to choose a clean make-up that is oil free, so it won't clog your pores and cause acne to occur. You also want a lightweight make-up that doesn't feel too heavy on the skin. Remember that if it feels heavy, then it probably also looks heavy, too.

Much More

 
Give yourself a boost in confidence by making your nails look great. Start by filing them to get a great shape. Then, for a classic look, paint them with a clear coat for a nice shine. You can also add fun colors to your nails to make you smile each time you see them. It is amazing how keeping your nails nice can have an impact on your self-esteem.

Moisturize daily to keep every inch of your skin feeling soft, smooth, and healthy. You will radiate with a healthy glow.

Shampoo as usual. You should notice a difference in your hair’s softness and shine from the very first application.

Unwanted Hair Removal Tips

Unwanted hair on the face or on the body affects a huge number of women.Having unwanted hair on the exposing areas of the body can be very embarrassing and also makes you feel unattractive.


So, it is best to get rid of the hair on the parts of the body where you don’t want it.

Here are the most common and widely used hair removal Methods to get rid of unwanted hair.

Tweezing/pluckingTweezing is effective method to remove hair of chin, upper lips and eyebrows. Shaping Your Eyebrows, Eyebrow Tweezing can be done by a tweezers. For better result you must select a tweezer with good grip and don't forget to pick the hair towards the growing direction of hair while tweezing. Tweezer is used for tweezing or plucking of women's body hair. Remember: Plucking out a hair by the root through tweezing can lead to an infection of the hair shaft and curling of the hair into the skin. Before using tweezers, apply cold cream to the face so as to soften the roots of the hair.

Shaving

This is done either through electric razors or a disposable razor held by hand, that can give about three dozen of smooth shaves. Applying a shaving cream on wet skin will be helpful in achieving a smooth appearance. While this method is very fast, easy and painless, the results are brief; usually will last 2 - 3 days. New hair growth can be bristly giving you rough and even legs that are painful to the touch. Avoid razor burns:

- Always shave with a new blade.

- Shave thoroughly, applying as little pressure as possible, paying special attention to the curves.

- Wash off shaving cream with cold water.

- Apply an aftershave.

- Pat with a towel to dry the area well.

- Smooth on lotion to skin.

Waxing

Waxing is little bit painful method; it's not applicable on tender skin. In this method hair is removed from root hence it can't grow for longer time. Hot waxing and cold waxing are two popular methods; you may select your choice of method with consultation of your beautician.

Quick Tips

. Insist on disposal strips (e.g.: - cellophane).

. Find a sensible beautician who doesn't try to boil you alive in bubbling wax.

. Pop a cetzin 10 mg tablet at morning & night the day you wax & slap on lots of ice & 'caladryl' lotion immediately afterwards to avoid hives.

. If they still occur apply "Flucort" lotion twice a day. Pus filled boils however will require a full course of antibiotics.

Bleaching

This temporary method is popular because it's less painful. Unwanted hair are bleached and made colorless to hide on skin. Before applying this method you must test on your skin to see whether it is allergic or suitable on your skin.

Depilatory Cream

Using depilatory cream is yet another temporary method to remove unwanted hair. A depilatory is a chemical based lotion or cream that is used to dissolve hair. Sometimes irritation may occur. I will recommend you to do a test before using depilatory cream. This is gift for women with coarse hair.They contain thioglycollate that breaks chemical bonds in hair structure, dissolving it. Convenient, but smelly (yuck!),and again the effect is short lived as hair is not uprooted

ELECTROLYSIS

Professionally it is known as "Derma blend", and the technique uses a needle to reach the hair bulb in each follicle & passes a DC current a short burst of AC current to kill the hair bulb permanently. Quite widely advertised earlier, it's now considered only second best to lasers as it's time consuming (even an expert can remove only 30-40 hairs per hour) & some hair bulbs might still escape & cause regrowth .Electrolysis can remove the unwanted hair permanently after five/ six sessions. Hair can be destroyed on the third treatment if the needle is inserted and damage to the tissue around the follicle can leave small scars or red marks.

LASERS

This is the latest, state-of-the-art, perfectly hygienic, painless (I'm almost implying perfect) way to permanent hair removal.

Most commonly a diode caser is used to "shoot" a certain skin area with the laser beam which selectively targets pigment. So the beams automatically cover hair follicles which are the darkest points in the skin.

Obviously then people with very dark skin (with very little contrast-b/w skin & hair) cannot be treated as they may get skin cannot be treated as they may get skin burns. Neither can grey hair (without pigment) be removed. The price is also steep - about Rs.1500 to 2000 (even more) for an upper lip! About 3-6 sitting are required and if you afford it -it keeps you hair free for years. As of now, a very limited number of outlets in Mumbai offer this facility.

Sugaring

Sugaring is an age-old hair removal method lasting up to six weeks uses natural ingredients like lemon, sugar and water to remove the hair follicle from the root. Although a similar process to waxing, sugaring is much more gentle to the skin and easier on the ouch factor.

There is actually no such thing as "permanent" hair removal, as even if ALL existing follicles are destroyed, the skin regenerates new follicles in a few years so a regrowth occurs even after using laser technology or electrolysis.

Hair Styling Secrets

Hair is certainly one of the most important assets of a woman.Professional hairstylists use certain tricks that can boost even the flattest hair. You can also implement these tricky tips right at home to have an equally beautiful hair that makes you feel amazing. Proper hair care is a must for obtaining the best results. Check out our secret hair styling tips and arm yourself with a hair that will attract many envious looks

We reveal some hair styling secrets that will help you to control your unruly locks and to get a stylish look every day.

Be Careful With Brushing
Brushing your hair, especially when it’s wet can do more damage to your hair than many other hair styling methods. Try to avoid using the brush while blow-drying your hair and use your fingers instead in order to separate your tangled tresses. You can use a hair conditioner spray to help your fingers glide more easily through your hair. When styling your hair, use wide toothed combs and cushion brushes that are gentle to your hair.

Don’t Do Long and Plain

A hair that is too long is boring, lacks style and can ruin your look. Nobody will notice a dull hair that just hangs there, with no individuality. Look for new styles that highlight your face and make you look attractive and full of life. Don’t be scared to add some highlights, trendy colors, exciting layers or flirty bangs to your hair.

Add A Touch of Shine

Besides the fact that a balanced diet, rich in vitamins and minerals is essential for a healthy, smooth and shiny hair, there are some great hair styling products that can add a little extra glam to your tresses. Women have different hair textures, and if genetics and nature hasn’t endowed you with a glossy hair, you can spice up your look by adding a few drops of shine serum on your wet hair and you’ll surely be a head turner at the next party.

Hottest Celebrity Tip: Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoos are really a must in every girls hairstyling set. These wonderful products have become highly popular nowadays. You can skip frequent shampooing by using dry shampoo or baby powder between two washes in order to keep your hair neat.
