probably wondering how, but if you think it takes 8-20mins to
straighten your hair, you may start to believe me. I want to give
you some great tips that you can use at home that will help you to
look even better. These tips come not only from personal
experiences but also from the celebrity stylists, who help to create a
great red carpet look. So here we go, read on for the ultimate in
celebrity hair tips.
Create Great Curls
If you have just bought yourself some very expensive straighteners,
or you are thinking about it, why not consider the idea of curling
your hair with straighteners? You can get more controllable curls
which are far easier to manage than your natural hair is!
Try:-
1. Make sure that your hair is semi-straight, or if not straighten it.
2. Spray on some heat-protection spray and then divide your hair
into sections. The fewer the number of sections the tighter the curls
will be.
3. Take the straightener and clamp it over the top of the section,
then whilst pulling down the straighteners turn the straightener
round. To produce a tighter curl clamp harder with the straighteners
and pull harder when you bring it down.
4. Do not brush your hair after you have done this, but simply tease
through with your fingers. And add some shine spray. Another way
to curl your hair that always creates great celebrity styles hair effect
is to use some Heated rollers (which is my favorite ). The type of rollers that you should get
should depend on how long and thick your hair is, and how tight the
curl that you want to achieve is.
I would recommend for short thin hair to use a straightener (the
above method) or tongs, for thick medium length hair to use some
medium sized heated rollers and for really long hair I would use
some very large Velcro rollers. Try using these on wet hair and then
drying off with a hair dryer.
Many celebrities will have plenty of deep conditioning treatments at
their salon before the big event. These treatments will vary from
Damage Restructuring to Deep Conditioning and Detoxifying. There
are plenty of high street products out there that are suitable for
home use and you can pick them up on the high street for
reasonable prices. I would always recommend that you look on the
back and see the list of ingredients, the more chemicals it has in it,
the worse it will be for your hair in the long run.
Indeed for a special event such as a prom or a ball, why not go
down to your local hairdresser or beauty salon and have a hair wrap
or mask? These may be quite expensive but will definitely get you
the look that you desire and it’s worth treating yourself for a special
event.
Always check with the salon about which treatment they think will
be right for you, because not all of them will be suitable for your
hair type.
Dazzling Colour
Another important thing about your hairstyle is the colour. The
richer and deeper the colour, the healthier you will look and the
more attractive you will appear, it’s a well-acknowledged fact. So if
you haven’t already booked an appointment at your local salon to
have a colour analysis, or follow these steps to the perfect celebrity
look-a-like hair colour:
Firstly look at your natural hair colour; does it seem lifeless and dull?
Take a long look at your hair in the mirror and look at your friends
and work colleagues- also don’t forget to ask your hair stylist for
advice.
The next step is to determine your own hair colour if you don’t
already know this. If you are a lady, a good tip to remember is that
men can often be the best judge of hair colour, because they can
sometimes be more objective.
Once you have worked out what your hair colour is, try thinking of
shades that is really rich in your mind but sticking to your own
colour palette.
For example, if your hair is a dark blonde colour, but also has some
dark brown and red strands in there, colours that would work for
you would be reds and browns.
I would always recommend trying colours that are slightly darker
than your normal shade, and always try colours that are redder
than your normal shade.
If you are an Asian, the above won’t be applicable. Asians have
naturally black hair and will look good in one shade or even many
shades lighter; of course natural black hair is also a fashion trend
these days. Opt for medium hair tones like dark brown, light brown,
cashmere, auburn, violet etc. Your skin tone will also affect what
colour will suit you. If you are very fair, you will look good in darker
tones and vice-versa. Unless you are a real celebrity, try to avoid
blonde or very light yellow or golden tones, as these colours tend to
look weird and unnatural on Asians, not to mention that these hair
colours are shunned and mostly unacceptable in schools and
workplaces.
If you want to dye your hair yourself, try some wash-in wash-out
formulas before you commit to a permanent colour.
(You can get it from the beauty&hair supplier) This way you
can be sure of the colour and whether it suits you. The usual
recommendation is just to go one shade darker each time. Also, if
you just want to look good for one special evening you can then use
one of these formulas and not permanently change your colour, but
still look astounding.
Perfect Nutrition = Perfect Hair
You may have heard this many times before, but a healthy diet is
really important if you want to have great hair. The stars that look
the best are the ones that eat the right foods and focus on a good
diet. Gwyneth Paltrow and Heidi Klum are great examples and look
great without starving themselves or resorting to strange diets.
There are a few key things that you need to make sure you get
enough of that will help your hair look at its best. The first is to drink
plenty of water, this gives the hair its shine and without enough it
can leave your hair lank and frizzy. The usual recommendation is
eight glasses a day, but don’t stick rigidly to this, just drink as much
as you can.
Secondly, protein is really important to your hair as this is what it’s
made of, so be sure to eat enough dairy and meat products.
Minerals like iron, zinc and copper are also really important. The
Iron - helps deliver oxygen to your hair to keep it alive and fresh
looking, so eat plenty of red meat and dark green veggies.
Zinc - effective in keeping the hair strong, and prevents the hair
falling out; it can be found in seafood and meat.
Copper - really important in maintaining the colour of your hair,
and enough of this will really give your hair colour a boost, so make
sure you eat enough shellfish, seeds and fresh vegetables.
Vitamins - effective in maintaining a good scalp and a great
overall condition of your hair, especially vitamins A, B and C. These
can be found in fruits and vegetables.
A great hair secret is the sweet potato, which is full of vitamins A
and B and other great nutrients which will give your hair great life
and body.
Straighteners – How to create Perfect Hair
To create the perfect look for your hair, choose to straighten your
hair. The effect of ceramic straightening means that the follicles on
your hair lie straighter and therefore reflects more light, making it
look healthy and a beautiful colour.
1. Spray a heat-protective spray in your hair, this insures very little
damage is done o your hair. Be sure to spray over the entire length
of your hair.
2. Fully dry hair using a blow dryer. Make sure that you blow
downwards, this is so the you can keep the cuticles lying flat, thus
leaving your hair shinier, because more light can reflect from your
hair.
3. Comb through your hair with a wide-toothed comb, so as not to
create static in your hair. Keep this comb for the next part.
4. Separate your hair into sections. Depending on the thickness of
your hair you may end up having created between 4 and 10
sections. Start with the hair closest to your neck. and work up to
the top. You will find that the more sections you have the straighter
your hair will be in the end.
5. Once you have your first section, turn on your hair straighteners.
Starting at the top pull the straighteners down towards the floor. Do
this fairly slowly. The slower you go the straighter it will be and the
longer it will stay in. But also the slower you go the more damage
you cause to you hair.
6. Once your first section is straight, continue until all the hair is
completed.
7. If you are happy with your look, then spray some shine spray
over all your hair. If not, continue straightening your locks until you
achieve desired effect, please remember that straighteners can also
create curls and waves, and so be creative.
