Heat Styling And Hair Combing Basics

Heat Styling And Hair Combing Basics

      People specially women are fond of beautiful and healthy hair. But it takes a lot of hard wok for it. You had to wash and condition the hair, you can set it in rollers  if you wanted curl, and let it air dry. Depending on the density of the hair, this could take hours, or in some cases all day and night. Often women had to try to sleep with a head full of rollers.

 But technology brought us appliances over the years to make doing your own hair easier and more convenient. The first advance to come our way was portable bonnet dryers which made drying a roller set a piece of cake. I personally remember ads for the model which featured the convenient shoulder strap. It showed the model with her roller set tucked neatly beneath the plastic bonnet, the hairdryer hanging from one shoulder and the power cable trailing behind her as she vacuumed the carpet.

The next advances were the blow dryer, electric curling iron, and hot rollers. The blow dryer gave the styles of the period that blown-back fullness that was so popular and dried even long hair in record time, while the curling iron and hot rollers were ideal for adding curl in a hurry without the hassle of a wet set with conventional rollers and the time spent under the bonnet dryer.

      Finally, as straight styles became fashionable, and everyone want smooth sleek locks, flat irons hit the scene. Ethnic women who wanted straight hair had been having their hair pressed for years, and now they could maintain their relaxed locks at home.

      However, as convenient and helpful as these appliances are, they can be damaging to your hair if you don't use them properly. In my experience of dealing with my clients in their homes I've noted a number of common mistakes people make when using these various appliances. Usually, many of the complaints they have about styling their own hair can be traced to one or more of these mistakes. So in order to help resolve these issues, let's have a look at the basics of heat styling, one appliance at a time:
 
 Blow Drying

 Wash your hair and use a conditioner to give smoothness to your hair, and then wipe your hair with towel.

• Divide your hair into 3 sections, leaving one section clip the other 2 sections.
• Use a blow dryer and a big round brush to blow dry your hair by giving the heat of the dryer to your hair.
• Try giving it a shape either turn the bottom hair inwards or outwards the way it suits you.

Tips

• Always try and use the dryer downwards because using it upwards can cause frizzy hair.
• You can use a hair mousse before using a blow dryer, which will make your hair look straight.
• While using blow dryer dry the roots first.
• Use hot air and cold air simultaneously because hot hair make gives hair curl and cold air make your hair stay for little longer time

Hair Combing
1.Check your hair for any major knots or tangles; these are best untangled by gentle fingers rather than the harsh teeth of combs. Untangle these, but be gentle; don't tear at your hair. Make long, even strokes so as to avoid damaging your locks.
2.f you have any products that help, like a leave in conditioner or detangler, then this is the time to apply them. Make sure you apply evenly, and let your hair absorb the product.
3.Divide your hair into sections, depending on the thickness and length. Combing your hair in sections makes the job a lot easier and less daunting. Separate sections with hair clips or grips. Select one section to start with.
4.Start combing the ends of the hair in the section and work your way up slowly until you have combed the entire section of hair.
5.Move on to the next layer until all layers are complete. When your hair is finished, run your fingers through it gently to see if you missed any knots or kinks. Then enjoy your freshly combed hair.

That's all in basic hair styling tips.
