Splitting Hairs - What Can You Do About Split Ends
Isn't it a shame when you have to worry about covering
split ends (or trichoptlosis)-the bane of every self-
respecting woman's life! They happen when the protective
cuticle has been stripped away from the ends of hair
fibers. Split ends are more likely to develop in dry or
brittle hair, and typical causes of damage include
excessive dying or vigorous brushing. Once the hair cuticle is removed, it is impossible to
replace. Typically, the hair splits into two or three
strands, and can be as long or two to three centimeters in
length. The best treatment is to cut off the split end of
the damaged fiber. But you don't necessarily have to go to the salon every
week to keep your split ends in check. Back in the sixties
and seventies, women used to burn off their split ends!
Sure that's a little excessive. And there are easier ways
to get rid of those dead ends before they split further...
do-it-yourself hair trims. These do-it-yourself trimming tips are for women who are
happy with their hair; for those who don't need a restyle,
but simply want to freshen things up with a 'homegrown'
sort of look. If you are in any doubt, leave it for the
professionals! To Remove Split Ends: * Take small sections of hair and carefully twist them in a
gentle downward motion. Any split ends will automatically stick out. * Carefully snip into the twist with sharp scissors. Don't
cut right through; just cut into the thickness to remove
the damaged cuticles and give a natural layered effect. * Be careful to cut roughly the same amount from each
twist.
Remember, sometimes the simplest, and least expensive,
ideas are the best. So get trimming! You'll not only save a
bundle but also time that will ease your life. Jane Preeter is a hair stylist who has great interest in
her profession. She has studied many hair loss treatments,
different methods of hair removal, and a wide variety of
hair treatments.

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.
