Holiday Hair Style: How to Look Perfect in Summer
Keeping your holiday hair style under control
isn't just about keeping your expensive up-do
from falling down while you're dancing. It's
about healthy-looking hair during those wet,
hot, and sticky months of summer, whether at
home or on vacation. Those who live in areas where the sun and humidity
get downright unbearable during the summer know
how difficult it is to keep their hair looking
good. But if you aren't familiar with the
potentially damaging effects of humidity, salt
water, sand, chlorine, wind and dry air, you
might not know how to properly care for your
holiday hair. It's easy to breathe new life into it by following
a few simple summertime tips. Hair that's full of split ends looks bad so the first
thing you should do even before the summer months set
in is give your hair a good trim to remove those
damaged ends or try a new hair style.
Hair looks instantly better after it's been cut. If you plan to color your hair, remember that
chemically treated hair is more vulnerable to environmental
conditions such as sun, water and humidity. Plan your
hair coloring three weeks before your trip so your hair
has time to regain its natural balance and is more
resistance to damage. Another thing you can do is ask your stylist for a deep
conditioning treatment prior to your vacation. This will
help to smooth the hair, repair damage and make the whole
hair structure stronger. Depending on your destination climate, you might also need
to bring a surface conditioner with moisturizing qualities
for hot, dry weather or frizz control cream for a humid climate.
Unlike deep conditioners, these products coat your hair with a
protective layer while adding gloss and making your style
more manageable. It just wouldn't be a summer vacation without time in the water.
Although swimming and other water activities are a lot of fun,
they can wreak havoc on your holiday hair. Whether you're swimming
in the sea or at the hotel pool, always rinse the sea salt and
chlorine out of your hair with plenty of fresh water. Chlorine dries out the hair, making it brittle. It also fades the
color and with some hair colors, can turn hair an unsightly shade
of green. It's not the chlorine that turns your hair green but the
presence of heavy metals like copper. The chlorine initiates the
process by damaging the hair cuticle, which allows these metals to
enter the inner structure of hair. It also wouldn't be a summer vacation without spending as much time
as possible in the sun. We know how damaging the sun's UV rays are
to our skin, but these rays also damage the hair's structure. They
break down the keratin which results in dry hair that breaks easily.
So look for hair care products that contain UV protection and use
them as directed to help your holiday hair style look as healthy as
your holiday tan. Lots of people with fine hair apply too much anti-frizz serum to
their scalp and hair, which makes it look greasy and weighed down.
Instead, apply a light conditioner beginning at the middle of the
hair strand and continuing down to the ends. Then finish your hair
style with anti-frizz serum applied only to the ends to seal off
the tips so water can't enter the hair shaft. When you're packing your suitcase, be sure you include a mild shampoo,
a mild conditioner, an anti-frizz serum (especially if you have
naturally curly hair), and hair spray for those times when your
holiday hair needs extra hold. And check to make sure all these
products contain UV protection. Just remember: using UV products
doesn't mean you can stay out in the sun indefinitely. Your hair and
scalp can be damaged if exposed to too much sun so don't forget to
bring a sun hat. Nancy Faizabadi is a professional hair stylist and the founder

Dry Skin - Causes and Solutions For Great Looking and Feeling Skin
Dry skin, also referred to as xerosis or eczema or asteatosis, and erroneously as icthyosis, is a multi-faceted condition which periodically afflicts most of the population regardless of race or sex at one time or another, and through a wide age range. Dry skin may become more pronounced with aging if not treated when young. The symptoms of dry skin range from mild to severe, and may afflict virtually any part of the body. Arms, hands and legs are most frequently involved. Most dry skin conditions arise from conditions which can be modified or prevented and treated without medical intervention.. People residing in areas where climatic conditions include cold dry air accompanied by strong winds are most often affected during the winter months. Dry skin results from lack of water in the outer layer of skin cells known as the stratum corneum. When this layer becomes dehydrated it loses its flexibility and becomes cracked, scaly and sometimes itchy. The stratum corneum contains natural water-holding substances, including urea, which retain water seeping up from the deeper layers of the skin. Water is also normally retained in the stratum corneum by a surface film of natural oil (sebum) and broken-down skin cells, which slow down evaporation of water from the skin surface.
