After a perm, never brush your hair. Instead comb hair gently.

Trim your hair once in 7 weeks to avoid split ends.

Avoid pulling back your hair tightly.

Never use a rubber band on your hair as it can pull and damage hair considerably.

Hair Conditioner




Stop being jealous of those gorgeous locks you’re always seeing in hair commercials! You can have hair just like them. The secret is choosing a conditioner that’s made for your specific type of hair. Check out these conditioning tips here and get the hair you’ve been waiting for!

Do you want that vibrant, glossy hair that’s in every hair commercial? It’s all about the conditioner you choose. Sure, shampoo starts the process by cleansing and nourishing your hair, but even clean hair can appear dry and damaged if you don’t use conditioner. If you’ve ever washed your hair without conditioning it, you probably realized that already. Conditioner softens and smoothes, moisturizes and shines, untangles and protects hair from damage. It’s essentially the key to perfect hair!


Choosing the right conditioner. It’s true that all conditioners will, well, condition your hair, but they’re not created equal. You must use the type of conditioner that is right for your hair type and texture — and use it correctly. Otherwise you may still be unhappy with the way your hair looks.


Conditioners for oily hair. You may want to just skip conditioning your hair if it’s super-oily — and you can — but don’t forget about some of the great benefits of a good conditioner, like protecting your hair, giving it more shine, and smoothing it out so it doesn’t tangle as much. Instead of skipping it, try a conditioner with light moisturizing action. Also, be extra careful not to condition your scalp — that’s where the sebum (what you think of as oil) is secreted, so there’s plenty of moisture there already. Instead, start to apply conditioner about midway through your hair and work down towards the ends.


Another option is a spray conditioner — a conditioner that you apply to hair that is dry by spraying it as needed. You can buy ready-made spray conditioners or create your own spray conditioner by mixing a bit of regular conditioner (about a tablespoon) with water in a spray bottle.
What to look for:

1.Tea tree oil — it absorbs some of the grease, so your hair will still retain that bounce, not be weighed down by excess oil.Conditioners for dry hair. If your hair is dry, remember this never-fail conditioning rule: you MUST use conditioner every time you shampoo your hair. In fact, you can use conditioner even when you don’t shampoo. That is, because your hair is dry, you should not wash it every day — the cleaning agents in shampoos will take a toll and dry it out even more. Instead, on non-shampoo days, rinse your hair in warm water and then condition it. The conditioner will restore softness without the extra dose of detergents from another shampoo.The best conditioners for dry hair are thick and creamy conditioners — the drier your hair, the more moisturizing your conditioner needs to be. Stay away from clear conditioners which are harsher on the hair. You may also want to use a leave-in conditioner, which keeps conditioning your hair even after your shower — protecting it from damage from the sun and other elements and also reducing tangles. But if you use hair care products like gel, mousse, or pomades, skip the leave-in conditioner since these products will accomplish all that for you.When applying conditioner, give extra attention to the tips of your hair — they’re the oldest part of your hair and have been exposed to the elements the longest, so they’re likely to be the most damaged part of your hair as well. You should also apply a deep conditioning treatment once a week to really hydrate your hair and correct any damage that may occur that week. You can purchase a product designed for deep conditioning or simply apply regular conditioner to your hair, cover with a shower cap, and allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes.Ingredients to look for:

2.Natural oils, especially olive oil and jojoba oil — they restore moisture to your hair and keep it looking glossy and beautiful.Don’t overcondition! You can have too much of a good thing. If you use too much conditioner, your hair will feel greasy and weighed down, not light and bouncy, and may not hold a style. How much is too much? It depends on the length of your hair. Short-haired women can usually get away with a teaspoon-sized squirt of conditioner. Long-haired ladies need about a tablespoon’s worth. Start with less; you can always add more conditioner if necessary.Conditioning Your Hair the Right Way
Regardless of your hair type, follow these steps to ensure you’re making the most of your conditioner:

- Start shampooing according to the directions on the bottle. Wring hair gently to remove excess water; this helps the conditioner penetrate your hair.

- Squirt the appropriate amount of conditioner (see above) into your hand and rub to form a lather. Unlike shampoo, which is applied to the scalp, rub condition into the length of your hair, trying to avoid your scalp. If you have very long hair, it might be easier to pull it into a ponytail for conditioning your hair.

- Allow the conditioner to set for at least a few seconds. If your hair tends to be dry, leave it on for at least 30 seconds.

- Rinse hair with warm water to remove the conditioner.

- Towel-dry your hair gently before styling. Do not rub your hair with a towel or it may cause the hairs to break or split.

By choosing the right conditioner and using it correctly, perfect, glossy hair is just a shower away!

Nail Care




Beautiful, natural nails require care and proper manicuring. A shortish nail that is straight across the top with rounded edges is the current in style shape.Here are nail care tips for polishing your nails so they will look beautiful and stay looking fresh longer.

Filing Nails:
File nails when the white part of the nail tip has grown 1/4″ from the pink part of the nail. Filing nails before the nail is 1/4″ long can weaken the nail. Allowing the nail to grow to a length longer than the base pink nail length will be sure to make them break easily. Nail files from side to side would weaken nails. When filing, go from the corner to the center in one direction. Follow the groove on the side of your nail.

Buffing Nails:
Buffing nails can give them a shinier finish. Start at the cuticle and work your way down to the tip with medium pressure. Don’t use a back and forth movement as heat builds up and this can damage your nails. Continue lightly until all ridges on the nail surface have disappeared.

Clean Nails:
Be sure that nails are clean and dry, free of any oil or lotion, before applying polish. Remove any old polish from nails.

Base Coat:
Always use a Base Coat and let it dry for at least 1 minute. The Base Coat helps to keep nail polish from chipping and makes polish last longer.

Applying Polish:
Apply two coats of polish. You should be able to cover the nail in three stokes, one on each side and then one in the middle.

Drying Time:
Always allow your polish to dry thoroughly for several minutes before you apply the next coat. This will avoid the new coat from dragging on the surface of the previous coat and allow the next layer adhere better. Darker shades take longer to dry. Avoid fast drying polish. It does not last as long.
