Alessandra... Back to Nature

Most women seldom change the placement of their parts, and as you can see, there are so many variations available. Today, I want you to try a severe part on the side and see how it looks. I'm including some additional tips to make your hair look absolutely incredible.

*A Reason To Use It

Egg shampoo. You have probably heard of it before and now I'm going to tell you what it does for your hair. IT ADDS PROTEIN. So, if you have damaged, fragile, or even tinted hair, this might be perfect for you. It is also very gentle and cleanses without removing the natural oil.

*Long Hair and a Problem

It's really easy to overload straight hair with products, but it contributes to heavy, dull hair. What you need to look for is lightweight shampoos and conditioners. It is also a good idea to look for products that offer a detangling ingredient.

*Are You Using The Right Shampoo?

If you swim a lot, you should be using a shampoo that is formulated with this in mind. Chlorinated water can do some nasty things to hair. It can go from looking healthy and shiny to dry, brittle and dull.

*Stick Straight Hair

How do you get it? You are going to need a professional flat iron and it should be the most expensive one you can afford.

*Do It Right

If you do it correctly, you can blow-dry your hair every day. It is a good idea however, to moisturize your hair on a regular basis and deep condition once a month. The trick is to hold the dryer at least two inches from your hair as you dry and keep the dryer moving.
