Hair

Question: Hair!!!!!!!!? does anyone know where i can get a japanese hair perm done in seattle for about $300.00? P.S. my hair is curly but can get very straight when i flatten it. i was planning in investing for one, but i need to know more information on it like, how long would it take, would it work well in my hair etc. if you ever had one, would you reccomend it for my texture hair??? please help:) thanks

Answer: If your hair is very curly, perms can look uber-fake..plus they don't really last that long, especially for the price. My hair is crazy, but I got a Chi Straightener and it works amazingly. Plus they're about 100$ and last much longer than a perm. The time depends on length, and also how good you are at it. As you get better/more experienced, it takes less time. I'm not, like, whoring out that particular brand, it's just that I've had a few and this works the best on getting rid of the poofiness..and you could probably find them at a lot of hair salons in Seattle..

Question: ........HaiR...........? What are some cute hair styles for skool??

Answer: Well the poof is always good if you have bangs. Just take the front section of your hair, pull it back, push it forward a little so it has some volume, and bobby pin it to secure it. also the messy bun. there's soo many different ways to do it, you can look on youtube for tons of tutorials on all these hairstyles. you can also make those two braids that are really cute. but don't make them TOO tight. you can also wear this with the poof. you can make the half-up half-down hairstyle and either tie it with a hairtie or use a cute hairclip. a bit of volume on top is always good. and if you want, you can curl the hair on the bottom. hmmm..well can't really think of anything else, but definitely look on youtube! they have tonsss of tutorials, trust me!:)

Question: What hair color dye damages your hair the less? I want to color my hair but i need a hair dye that damages my hair very little or nothing at all cuz my hair tends to fall a lot and for that matter i have some frizzy hairs. My hair is black and thick and i want to color it chocolate brown. Any suggestions on a really good hair dye and where I can get it?

Answer: I assume you don't want to go to a salon...so, any one that does not have ammonia in it and non-permanent will be perfectly good. This is offered by many makers - Loreal , Clairol....to name a few. You just put it on..wait about 25 minutes...wash it out and voila...the new you! Have fun but note you will have to redo it about every 6-8 weeks.

Question: How to make hair healthier from the inside? I have thin hair that is naturally straight but gets wavy(not naturaly waves, just waves from from where my hair is layered) I use Shampoo and Conditioner to make my hair healthy(Redken Extreme) and wash my hair every other day.

I want to grow my hair long but i would like some expert advice on how to make my hair healthy from the foods I eat. What kind of foods would be good for this?

Answer: healthy foods with lots of protein. eggs, meat, vegetables, also you can take biotin its all natural

Question: Black hair:How long will it take for my hair to go natural? I've been wearing a relaxer in my hair almost 11 years because of my mother's choice to wear my hair this way.I've been getting my hair professionally done.I want to go natural some day and give up relaxers.My hair is long,past my shoulders but it's really damaged. I want to bring out my natural beauty and embrace it. How long does it take for hair to go natural?

Answer: I went natural in early July of 2008 and I love it! I've noticed that my hair is growing back thicker and stronger, and it's no longer breaking off, so it's definitely healthier! You will be natural as soon as you cut off all the permed hair, so it depends on you. If you decide to cut it all off today then you will be natural today. For most naturals, being natural means not having any chemicals in your hair (sans hair dye), so as soon as the chemically treated hair is gone then you are 100% natural. Your relaxer will not revert back to your natural hair so you do have to, at some point, cut if all off. When you do this is up to you and how long you want your natural hair to be before you do the BC (big chop or big cut). I decided to go natural for the same reasons you mentioned. The perm was burning my head and causing scabs, and days later my head was still stinging from the perm. I decided at the last minute to get all the perm cut off instead of getting a touch-up. I now have about 1-2 inches of a curly TWA (teeny weeny afro). I was permed for about 13 years, first perm was at 13/14 y/o, so I remembered what my natural hair looked like before I started perming. My hair was also breaking off badly because of neglect - I hated getting touch-ups (obviously), and I hated always having to condition my scalp. With natural hair I only have to apply the moisture to my hair and not my scalp. The longer you've been permed increases your chances of having what is called "scab hair." This is hair that is still affected by years of perms. Scab hair is rough to the touch and very dry and icky looking; it's brittle, too. So, if you have scab hair then it could take several months, up to a year or longer, before you start seeing your true hair texture; You might have just a few patches of scab hair or your whole head might be filled with it. With approximately 13 years of perms I have a lot of scab hair, but I'm slowly seeing my hair change textures and this is truly a fascinating sight to behold. As a child I had wavy hair (if you're familiar with hair types then it's a 2 a/b hair type, I'm not mixed with anything, BTW) and as my real hair texture comes in I'm beginning to see bigger curls (or waves, too early to tell). Everyone does not experience scab hair, but if you find patches of your hair that is very dry and rougher looking than other parts of your hair then it could be scab hair. I've put in the sources section some websites so you can learn more about becoming natural. Motowngirl.com is my favorite and very informative.

Question: What is the best hair straightener/flat iron you have ever used? I own one, yes, but it doesn't keep my hair straight as long as i want it to. It's a Conair Cearmic Straightener and has 25 setting, not didgital, and also has a turbo heating. I straighten my hair but i doesn't stay straight. My hair is just a tad above shoulders, only because i did not like the layers in my hir when i had gotten it cut that way and bought a straightener so i could flip the ends or just straigten it. So i got it cut to the very first layer in my hair. I'm growing it out again to maybe try layers again. What can i do to keep my hair straighter longer? Is it the straightener or is it my hair? My hair is now onyx wth red tips, like i said, a tad above the shoulders. It's in the middle between thick and thin, in a medium range. Is it my hair or is it the straightener? Is there anything i can use to keep my hair straighter longer? Please help me out! Any other styles i can do with a strightener?

Answer: You have the right straightener. It could be your hair. I straightened my hair almost everyday because I couldn't stand having fluffy hair. When I started doing that, my hair was dead & the straightener couldn't even work it's magic anymore. Go to the salon & get your hair deep conditioned about once every 2 or 3 months. This softens your hair so it's back to the soft hair it was when you were a little kid. If you keep this up, you can straighten your hair as much as you want & your straightener can do it's job just fine. Just make sure your hair isn't dead. If it does start becoming dried up again, go to the salon & do it all over again. I don't have to straighten my hair that much anymore since my hair is soft & flat now from all the deep conditioning. But now, I don't have to burn my hair by putting the straightener on number 25. It'll work even on setting 5 or 10.

Question: What are good hair products to use for emo hairstyling? I really want emo hair. And I'm wondering for females what the best products to style this hair that aren't to expensive. 1. Hair straightener for medium to short hair. $ 2. Hair gells and hair sprays. $ 3. Hair protection against hair straighteners. $$ Please try to have the prices listed and the brand and stuff. Thanks! Answer Please!

Answer: 1. My hair is medium length, and I got my straightener from Rite Aid since I'm not rich and all. A decent straightener from stores like Target, Walmart, and Rite Aid should do fine. Just don't buy straighteners under 20 dollars. 2. Hair Gel...I suggest you not to use it unless you want to spike up the back of your hair. It makes your hair look very stiff, not to mention greasy. There is this AWESOME hairspray called 'Mink'. They don't sell these at stores anymore, but you can get them from Amazon.com. (Link is in the source) Well, Wallgreens supposedly have them, but I never saw them there. These hairspray work very well, and I have been using it for two years. They don't make your hair look stiff at all (in fact, it leaves your hair look naturally soft and silky), leave no white stuff behind, and gives a shine to your hair. Mink is around $3.50 The shipping is about 5 dollars, so it would be around 9 dollars if you buy it from online. If not, I recommend Bedhead,which is around 11 dollars. It's a little expensive, but it works pretty good, though not as good as Mink. 3. Nexxus Heat Protexx, end of question. It's a little expensive (13 dollars for a small bottle) but it's the best sh!t ever. If not, try Beyond The Zone, it's about 7 bucks, and you can get them from Sally's Beauty Supply or online.

Question: What hair styles do most girls find cute? I'm a guy, and I have long, black hair. I was just wondering if some girls find guys with long hair cute, what style should I make my hair of? Of course I won't cut my hair. But should I put it up in a low ponytail? Or a braid with some of my hair hanging down on the sides of the front of my face? Should I just leave it down, and maybe put in some red or green highlights? Or white or blonde? Should I dye it a different colour? Please give me your suggestion.

Answer: Dark brown almost black hair with bangs. Shorter in the back and longer in the front. Collarbone length. The style is totally in! http://www.easy-hairstyles.com/images/medium-hair.jpg

Question: How to grow hair longer and faster in a healthy way? I had relaxed, dyed hair which felt dry and brittle and it was breaking. I just didn't like how my hair felt. So i decided to cut my hair very short, so that i can grow my hair. Now i miss having my hair and i want a way to grow my hair long and fast. Currently my hair is in weave. Any other suggestions. Any products that has been suggested must sell in the UK. Thank you.

Answer: ..so try this...regular trims are a must, about every 7-9 weeks.(if your hair is really healthy then up the trims to about every 12 weeks, a trim is just a snip off the ends) if its been awhile since you have had a trim then inches may be called for to get to healthy hair. i use vitamin e on fresh washed hair.(its a vitamin that can be purchased where you buy vitamins, cut open capsule, squeeze into hand, rub hands together and apply to hair) dont message into scalp. if you get too much then just rewash it. hair will feel slightly sticky until dry then it will be nice and soft. it tames the frizzies, deep conditions and makes hair grow about three in a month. it takes about a month for the growth part of the e to kick in. the other benefits are instant. dont brush your hair but maybe three or four times a week to message the scalp,dry hair, never wet, i use a wide tooth comb at other times. brushing breaks off hair. i just started biotin vitamins going on four months ago this sat and notice and big growth spurt from that. biotin is cheap and also promotes hair regrowth and growth. i also have the biotin shampoo that i got from a vitamin store online.(puritans pride.com or vitadigest.com) five bucks for a big bottle and a big bottle of E is about 8 bucks. the biotin is about 3 bucks. i now take my fingers and message my scalp about five times a week, along with the brushing thats a good way to do it without damaging your hair. apply two or three capsules of e to dry hair and message into scalp and hair really well, put damp towel in microwave for 1 min to get hot, then quickly wrap head, a dry towel can be placed over that to help hold in the heat, leave on for 15 min, shampoo well, makes an excellent hot oil treatment. good luck, AND some people will argue about regular trims, your hair does grow from the roots, yes, but if your hair is not trimmed at the bottom, the it splits, get dry and brittle not to mention thin looking from no trims at all and frizzy. then your hair starts to break off at the bottom and giving you the appearance that it never grows. so to make hair grow as fast as possible and keep it healthy, then trims are an essential part of hair care. look on a ruler and check out less then half an inch and if your salon does not know what that is then take a ruler with you, i have. as of five weeks ago adding beta carotene vitamins to my regimen. i found out that along with the biotin it is very very good in promoting hair growth. they were five bucks for a bottle of 100. got them at walmart. the biotin and e can also be purchased at walmart, and adding all this up is pretty cheap to get great hair. i just wish the shampoo was available in the stores, but not yet.
