Hair Chalk

On trend right now are tresses full of bright colors like purple.  We've seen celebrities like Katy Perry and Kelly Osbourn wear these colors and surprisingly it looks good.  Part of the reason punk colored hair looks good on people who are not punk rockers is because of the style of the hair. However, these bright hues can damage your hair. It's also a style that you can change very easily once it's done.  So what do you do when you want a funky hair color but you don't want the commitment?... semi-permanent hair color! Maybe but semi-permanent hair color is still a process.  For this trend consider HAIR CHALK! It's easy and very temporary.  Hair chalk is so temporary we applied the hair chalk in the morning and at night all she had to do is wash it! You can apply this easily at home.  However for a more permanent or semi-permanent look, you will need to go to your hair care professional.

Here is how you do it:

Decide where you want the hair chalk to appear. For the look seen above we decided to use the peek-a-boo technique, only allowing for a few strands around the models face.  You can decide to do a highlighted look, color the ends or do your bangs.  The possibilities are endless.

Next, section hair and apply leave in conditioner 

Apply the hair chalk as directed

Seal in in the color with a warm flat iron 

Add hairspray as another locking mechanism and there you have it!

How to Eat Healthy for Healthy Hair

Eating Healthy plays a major role in your hair.  Your daily eating pattern should contain a lot vitamin A, B, C, E, and K. Fruit, Vegetables, Lean protein, and whole grains are great sources for healthy hair.

 

When it comes to healthy hair, it’s not just what you put on your tresses that counts -- it’s what you put in your body, too.

By Elizabeth B. Krieger

Top 10 Foods for Healthy Hair. 

1. Salmon

Besides being rich in protein and vitamin D (both are key to strong hair) the omega-3 fatty acids found in this tasty cold-water fish are the true superstar. Your body can't make those fatty acids, which your body needs to grow hair. About 3% of the hair shaft is make up of these fatty acids, Drayer says. Omega-3s are also found in cell membranes in the skin of your scalp, and in the natural oils that keep your scalp and hair hydrated.

Other options: If salmon doesn't thrill you, you can also get essential fatty acids from fish like herring, sardines, trout, and mackerel, as well as avocado, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts (see below for more wonderful things about walnuts.)

2. WalnutsThese are the only type of nut   that have a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids. They're also rich in biotin and vitamin E, which helps protect your cells from DNA damage. Since your hair rarely gets much shielding from the sun, this is especially great, Drayer says. Too little biotin can lead to hair loss. Walnuts also have copper, a mineral that helps keep your natural hair color rich and lustrous, Fishman says.

3. Oysters

Oysters are rich in zinc, a lack of which can lead to hair loss (even in your eyelashes), as well as a dry, flaky scalp. Three ounces has a whopping 493% of your daily value. You can get some zinc through fortified cereals and whole grain breads, but oysters can boast a good level of protein too. "Remember, hair is about 97% protein," Drayer says. Without enough protein, your body can't replace the hairs that you naturally shed every day and what you do make can be dry, brittle, or weak.

Other options: Get your fill of zinc with nuts, beef, and eggs.

 

4. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a great source of the antioxidant beta carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A. "Basically, every cell of the body cannot function without enough A," Fishman says. It also helps protect and produce the oils that sustain your scalp, and being low on vitamin A can even leave you with itchy, irksome dandruff.

Other options: Carrots, cantaloupe, mangoes, pumpkin, and apricots are all good sources of beta carotene.

5. Eggs

A great source of protein, eggs are loaded with four key minerals: zinc, selenium, sulfur, and iron. Iron is especially important, because it helps cells carry oxygen to the hair follicles, and too little iron (anemia) is a major cause of hair loss, particularly in women, Drayer says.

Other options: You can also boost your iron stores with animal sources, including chicken, fish, pork, and beef.

6. Spinach

The iron, beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C in spinach help keep hair follicles healthy and scalp oils circulating.

Other options: Try similarly nutrient-rich dark, leafy vegetables such as broccoli, kale, and Swiss chard.

7. Lentils

Tiny but mighty, these legumes are teeming with protein, iron, zinc, and biotin, says Fishman, making it a great staple for vegetarian, vegans, and meat eaters.

Other options: Toss other beans such as soybeans (the young ones are called edamame) and kidney beans into your soup or salad.

8. Greek yogurt

Cruise the dairy aisle for low-fat options such as Greek yogurt, which is high in hair-friendly protein, vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid -- an ingredient you'll often see on hair care product labels), and vitamin D. Emerging research links vitamin D and hair follicle health, but exactly how that works isn't clear, Fishman says.

Other options: Cottage cheese, low-fat cheese, and skim milk also fit the bill.

9. Blueberries

Exotic super fruits may come and go but when it comes to vitamin C, "It's hard to top this nutrient superhero," Drayer says. C is critical for circulation to the scalp and supports the tiny blood vessels that feed the follicles. Too little C in your diet can lead to hair breakage.

10. Poultry

This everyday entree is extraordinary when it comes to protein, as well as hair-healthy zinc, iron, and B vitamins to keep strands strong and plentiful. Because hair is nearly all protein, "foods rich in protein are literally giving you the building blocks for hair," Drayer says.

Other options: Lean cuts of beef are another good source of lean protein.

How To Pin Curl Your Hair

Pin Curling hair is a great way to maintain your curls after getting your hair done. You can avoid having to use heat on your hair on daily basis. When pin curling your hair there are two things you want to keep in mind. The first thing you want to consider is how much curl you want to have in your hair, and how your hair has been curled after you have left the salon.  To begin pin curling you want to start from front and work your way to the back. Begin each pin-curl by grabbing one section ofyour curl and form a circle at the end of your strands and roll the hair in direction that it has been curled all the way to the base. Use a bobby pin to secure the pin curl, making sure you pin curl on the inside of the pin curl instead of across.
