Some of the most common signs that hair is damaged are split ends with a dry, brittle feeling. It may also appear dull and tangles fairly easy. These will usually occur as a result of several issues, namely:
  • heating and styling irons
  • over drying the hair follicles when using a blow dryer
  • heavy brushing technique  causing breakage and split ends
  • too much product which builds up and leads to a dull, heavy appearance
  • too frequent washing and stripping the hair of its natural oils that protect it from damage and breakage
  • environmental damage from salt water, sun, dirt and weather conditions
So what simple hair salon tips can you do at home in order to prevent any more damage occurring?

Use of a clarifying shampoo and deep conditioning treatment will repair any existing damage and get your hair back to a clean slate, as it were.

Next up you want to only use heating equipment on its lowest setting possible and only when you have too.  There is no need to blow dry your hair everyday if you can avoid it as a natural dry once every few days will be much better for the overall condition of your hair. On this note, try not to brush your hair when it wet, use only a wide tooth comb to minimise breakage.

Keep your hair neat and healthy with regular trims which will eliminate the appearance of damaged ends while also making your hair appear thicker and stronger.

Finally always use the right hair products for your hair type whether it is oily, dry or normal hair.
By following these easy steps you will notice a marked improvement in the overall quality and feel of your hair.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.
