Using Your New Hair Styling Tool

Did Santa bring you that new hair straightener that you wanted? Maybe you got a new curling iron? If you get some new hair tools for Christmas, you’re probably very excited to try them out and if you’ve never used a hair straightener or a curling iron before you may be a little intimidated about how to get started.

Don’t worry, the great thing about hair tools is that they are pretty easy to figure out and with a little bit of practice, you’ll soon be creating all sorts of beautiful styles, transforming your personal look every day.

If you have a new hair straightener and are trying to achieve a sleek and straight look, start with clean dry hair and section it into manageable sections. Take the first section and starting close to the scalp, clamp the hair between the plates and apply gentle pressure. Slowly slide the iron down the hair until you reach the ends. You can get fancy and flick your wrist in or out in order to create flips and curl unders if you like. Continue around your head until all of the hair has been straightened.

If you have a new curling iron that you are trying to master, start with small sections again of clean and dry hair. Clamp the barrel around the ends of the hair and slowly spiral the hair around the iron swiveling your wrist. Hold the iron in position for thirty seconds and release. Continue around your head until all sections are curled.

As with anything, you will need to practice until you get the desired effect, but the great thing about hair tools is that they are very forgiving and you can practice as much as you need too.

How To Curl Hair Using A Flat Iron

It is nature’s law that if you have straight hair you want it curled and if you have curly hair you would want it straightened. Curling hair is easy and possible with many tools. One of the easiest ways is to do it with a flat iron.
The video below demonstrates the way to do it in easy steps.

Here's an explanation as to How to curl hair using a flat iron in easy steps:

1. Before you begin you have to decide what kind of curls you want. The curls can be tight and dense or loose and flowing. Depending on the kind of curls you want divide the hair into segments. The tighter the curls you want the smaller the segment should be.
2. After dividing the hair into desired segments heat the flat iron, spray a protective spray and comb it. This will form a protective barrier between the hair and the heat. Take care not to hold the iron too near the scalp or heat it too much. Hold your hair or the segment you wish to curl near the end.
3. Place the iron over the section. Be careful not to singe the hair. Hold the hair taut and the iron away from the scalp.
4. Wrap your hair around the lower plate. This will ensure the quality of the curl. The tighter you wrap it the tighter will be the curl.
5. Now close the plates gently with the segment of hair securely clasped in between
6. Gently glide the iron rotating it upwards, and outward. This will give it the curl and the wave you want
7. Repeat till all the segments are done. It is really as easy as it looks.

Head & Shoulders Extra Volume shampoo

Head and shoulders is a respected name in hair care. A name synonymous with complete hair care and protection. The Head and Shoulders Extra Volume shampoo is made with a special hydra zinc formula and it is also gentle and pH balanced. It is effective on all kinds of hair from normal to the colored one.

The shampoo works on three fronts

• It adds that much desired volume to your hair. No need to go in for hair destroying dryers to make them fluff out coquettishly. It cleanses your hair without any buildup and leaves you with a buoyant feeling calculated to keep you confident.
• Keeps the scalp flake free. The Pyrithione zinc keeps the scalp free from dry flakes, which can be so very embarrassing. The scalp is kept 100% flake free, which is actually a tall claim for any shampoo. The fungus, which causes flakiness and is the primary cause of dandruff, is non-existent if you use this constantly. The anti-proliferative agents, such as coal tar slow down the production of skin cells, which again helps to reduce flaky skin. The keratolytic agents, present in the shampoo prevent the skin from breaking in clumps and making dandruff noticeable.
• It helps to reduce split ends and breaking /falling hair by nourishing the roots.

Do not think that a shampoo, which protects and build will be harsh. It is soft on your hair and prevents destruction of vital moisturizing and nourishing agents. It helps build hair and volume and protects it from all hazards.

A word of caution: The shampoo gives you protection against dandruff as long as you use it. Stop using it and the deadly Malassezia, which causes dandruff, might revive and your hair might need the shampoo again.
