Something Different For Hyde

Often it's the little things that either make your hair look absolutely gorgeous, or make it look absolutely terrible. More often than not, it heads toward terrible. But by learning a few easy tips, you can turn all of that around and beat hair at its own game. Here are your TIPS FOR TODAY.

*Oily Hair

If you have oily hair, you should not omit the conditioning step, but apply it from about your ears to the ends of your hair. Simply stay away from the roots.

*How Does It Feel?

Think back to the last time you purchased a brush? Did you take the time to really see how it felt in your hand? Most of us don't even think about it. However, hairstylists believe that a good style is achievable if your brush can properly do its job. If you can't control the brush in your hand, it obviously can't.

What Are Pomades?

Be sure to read the container for instructions. This product will smooth the frizzies or flyaways in seconds flat. You want shine? Pomades can help here too.

*Is He/She Asking the Right Questions

When you go to a salon for a consultation, the stylist should ask you how long you spend on your hair each day, how well you can handle a blow-dryer or curling iron/brush and how many styling products you use. These are all important questions when looking for the perfect style for you. If she doesn't ask, be sure to tell her... or look for another salon.

*What Dull Scissors Can Do

If you are going to give your split ends a trim, be sure that you don't use a pair of dull scissors. It can actually make your split ends even worse. You might be better off letting a stylist take care of the problem.
