anyone have any hair tips?


heres my tips

to help maintain healthy hair : get a good nights sleep and eat a balanced diet.

backcombing : work in small sections, holding the hair ends at a 90 degree angle to the head. run comb through hair from ends to root in smooth, gentle strokes for maximum effect.

fine tooth rattail : precise teasing or backcombing

dip pik : great detangler for wet hair

create curls on a flat iron : place the hair section between the plates as normal. with the plates closed, rotate the iron 2 complete revolutions and then slide to the end of the hair section as normal.

add volume on a flat iron : flips or curves hold hair between plates and wrap around outside of top plate.

straightening with comb : helps guide hair and eliminates tangles for smoother and faster straightening. comb your hair under the flat iron while straightening to prevent fuzz.

create an alluring up do : after removing the iron from the hair, re-roll each curl and pin up randomly. leave a few trailing tendrils. for sexy, tousled curls make small vertical curls in hair. separate curls with fingers. for tighter curls, use a small barrel. for loose curls, use larger barrel. section hair evenly and comb each section before winding. place curling iron midway up hair section; spread hair evenly between spoon and barrel. ro avoid crimped ends, securely wind hair under spoon in direction of desired curl

sexy and tousled curls : make small vertical curls in hair. separate curls with fingers. for tighter curls use a small 3/4" barrel, for loose curls use a larger barrel. section hair evenly, and comb each section before winding. place curling iron midway up hair section; spread hair evenly between spoon and barrel. to avoid crimped ends, securely wind hair under the spoon in the direction of desired curl.

curling iron : use low heat settings for curling extra fine, damaged, or dry hair.

total styling : begins with hair that is clean and dry.

hair dryer : select lower heats and speed for finishing hairstyle or for drying permed, color-treated, or fragile hair.

hair dryer : use higher heat for initial drying, lowering the heat as you finish styling. Use Cool Shot to set curls or style in place.

hair dryer : initially when hair is wet, use dryer on high speed without the concentrator nozzle. dry hair until it is slightly damp. attach concentrator, using medium to high speed to style and/or straighten hair. always blow dry hair starting from root down to ends. use cool shotbutton to lock in style.

hair dryer :use medium to high speed to style or straighten hair. blow dry hair starting from the root down to ends to seal the cuticles. result use slim concentrator nozzle for detailed styling.

lint filter : take off the dryers rear cap and clean any lint or hair caught in screen. it improves dryers airflow and takes strain off motor, improving life of dryer.

always treat hair right with superior quality shampoos and conditioners prior to styling

WOAH! thats awesome now i know how to do awsome thing with my hair! am still abit confussed about combing my hiar tips to roots.

thanks for the tips CANDY!!!

backcombing/teasing? they creates fullness and height to thin strands.

you just comb the strands a direction that is opposite to your hairs natural growth pattern.

you select a small section of the hair. about 1-2 inch in width to get a compact. you lift up the hair at 90 degree angle from the head. focus on the root area and pack the hair tightly towards the scalp. use the same method. so you just use a comb and run through the hair from ends of your hair to the root of your hair. once you run it down your hair from ends to roots, you take the comb and run it at your ends to roots again. remember to use good styling sprays/similar products to support the backcombed sections. its kinda hard to explain. i have to show it to you. but hopes that helps.

wow candy! thats sooo cool!
LOL im one of those lazy types...i just stick a headband in and go, or if im having a bad hair day, i just pull it into a pony tail...

i DO like the got2B leave in conditioner though...it leaves you so soft and silky!

awesome thanks! your good at explaining! all try that for school tomorrow :P

wow thx for all the tips!!!

Thanks CANDY for all the tips!

for curling on flat iron, do you have to use those tiny, skinny ceramic iron. cuz, I got this fat conair straightener, and not sure how to curl with it?

if you want your hair curly, you have to get a curling iron. you can create wave with a flat iron.

more tips

the sun or wind can damage your hair.

hair is made up primarily of protein. so eat a lot of healthy foods with protein.

if you wash your hair in the shower and put on conditioner, dry your hair before you apply conditioner. if you apply it on wet hair, it just slides right off. so the hair cant absorb the conditioner.

try not to put too much shampoo on. you dont really need a lot. it can also damage your hair if you put a lot.

wet hair is more fragile than dry hair.

rubber bangs/tight clips/wrapping hair too tightlg around roller/ braids can actually break the cuticle = hair breakage

acutallie you cancreate reallie nice curls with flat irons, i do it al the time and it looks like i did it with a curler, but you have to be careful, after you curl your hair on one side (ie. curls go to the right) make sure your other side, curls go to the left, or else u'll look reallie funky and unatural ;P

and yes you do have to use a skinnier straightener, with the fat conair one, is it the one where u can put water in it? cux i have that one and that one doesn't work if you hair is not extremely long, i bought another one thats conair put it's thinner, it's only 30 bux- you should invest in that, it works realllie well, i think it ever straightens better. but if you want oober good results, buy one thats made from korea, reallie thin ones, ask hair salons and stuff
i got one from my vacation to korea and it works reallie well

omg. thank gosh i found this!
i love the technique of backcombing.
its so pretty!

if anyone needs a straightening iron, im selling a KQC ceramic straightener brand new in box, they use this straightener in many hair salons, its the newest one out right now, PM me for more info :)
