Avoiding hair disasters

July 17th 2008 05:34
If you're bored with your hair's current length and want a change, make sure you do your research before committing to a new style. Most hair disasters occur when you haven't thought about it enough, and you choose to do something impulsive. Remember when Keri Russell from the TV show Felicity had her beautiful, waist-length curls cut off? The show's ratings fell by 30%, and she was reminded of her impulse decision for years later on various Celebrity Oops shows.




So while you may not have a show's ratings to worry about, you must remember that making a big change is something that could affect your life for years to come. Short hair is not for everyone - there's face shape and lifestyle factors to think about - and you will be changing your image in the eyes of others as well. And yes, long hair can be boring, but there are countless ways to make it more interesting without going for the big chop. Having a trim, getting layers cut in, or getting highlights are all ways that you can change your look without moving into hair-disaster territory.



The major thing to remember is to not become impulsive, especially when you're in the hairdresser's chair. If you feel you may get impulsive it's best to avoid to salon altogether, as we often regret in our leisure the things we do in haste. Learn to love your hair at every length, think carefully before making any big changes, and you'll be doing all you can to avoid those unsightly hair disasters.

Celebrity Hair: Rihanna

July 2nd 2008 04:17
The Grammy-winning, Barbados-born beauty that is Rihanna has worn a number of different hairstyles since shooting to fame, and looks equally gorgeous with a short crop as she does with long, curly locks. A natural brunette, she has taken to colouring her hair black, and at present is sporting an edgy pixie cut. Here are some great photos of Rihanna's hair.

Why men prefer long hair on women

June 27th 2008 01:43
Research has repeatedly shown that when it comes to hair length, the majority of men find long hair on women to be more attractive than short hair. While the obvious reason for this is that it appears more feminine, there are also evolutionary factors - namely, that long hair signifies genetic strength and overall health.



Look at it this way: hair will only grow if your body is healthy, and health is a major factor when it comes to men selecting a partner. If your hair is shoulder-length or longer, it shows that you've been healthy for at least two years, and the longer your hair is, the more healthy you appear. Youthfulness is a major factor in genetic strength - and consequently attraction - and as many women over the age of 40 choose to have their hair cut short, having longer hair makes you appear younger.



Of course, it is entirely up to you what length of hair you choose, and many women look equally beautiful with short hair as they do long (Halle Berry and Sienna Miller, for example). Also, men's preferences are entirely individual, and many profess to preferring shorter hair on women. Cultural and societal factors will also come into play. But when it comes to the majority of men, it's long hair on women that is a distinct preference.



Regardless of your hair's length, if you take good care of it and ensure that it is clean and shiny, it will be perceived as being attractive to men. Short, healthy-looking hair is greatly preferable to long hair that is damaged and unkempt. But if you can manage to grow your hair long whilst keeping it in top condition, then chances are men will find you far more attractive than your short-haired counterparts.

Celebrity Hair: Hayden Panettiere

June 20th 2008 02:14
She's very recently had her hair cut into a short, chic style - so recent that I couldn't find any photos of it - but prior to this wore her luscious blonde hair halfway down her back. For red carpet events she's experimented with different updos, and once dyed it brown, though she looks much better (in my opinion) as a blonde. Here are some great photos of Hayden Panettiere's hair.

A fresh colour can be the ultimate pick-me-up, and a way of signalling a new phase in your life. You need to decide if you want to do it yourself at home, or go to a salon to have it professionally done. There are pros and cons for each - here is a guide to colouring at home versus going to a hairdresser.

Celebrity Hair: Nicole Richie

June 10th 2008 00:52
Since becoming famous as Paris Hilton's best friend on The Simple Life, Nicole Richie's style has evolved dramatically - most noticeably with her weight and fashion choices, but also with her hair. She used to have rather skanky black-and-blonde hair extensions, then cut her hair into a stylish bob, and since then has put in some slightly longer hair extensions in a dark blonde colour that really suits her skin tone. Here are some great photos of Nicole Richie's hair.

More exercise = more growth

June 4th 2008 00:56
Just in case you needed one more reason why you should exercise more, then here it is: exercise will increase your hair's growth rate. It gets your blood pumping, which increases the circulation of oxygen to your hair follicles, resulting in faster growth. Your whole body will feel healthier if you can make the time to work out three to five times a week. The key to exercise is variation; if you're not a fan of the gym then go jogging along the beach instead, go skiing, or go for a long bike ride - whichever is most convenient for you.

Celebrity Hair: Rachel McAdams

June 3rd 2008 00:53
Most recognisable as the beautiful young Allie in 2004's The Notebook, Rachel McAdams' stock in Hollywood is on the up and up. She's not afraid to experiment with her hair either - looking great as a blonde, a brunette and with pink (!) highlights. Here are some great photos of Rachel McAdams' hair.

I'm kidding, as beautiful as it is it's way too long for me. The point is, you need to have a goal in mind if you're growing your hair. Enjoy it at all lengths, because you may not experience that length again for some time... but have a certain length in mind that you want to achieve. For me, it's waist length, and according to my calculations I'm about three years away from it

The Importance of Scalp Massage

May 27th 2008 04:28
If you're growing your hair long, then you want to know all you can to make it grow faster. This is why I cannot stress enough the importance of scalp massage. It stimulates the blood flow to your scalp and boosts the oxygen intake of your hair's follicles, resulting in faster-growing hair. Plus, it's relaxing!
