Time..."Hair's" the Long and Short of It!

Just as dry winter air can wreak havoc on your hair, so does your summer air conditioner. Counteract the drying effects with a humidifier, which puts water back into the air and helps your hair (and skin) stay moisturized, and look more youthful.

Shopping for (and trying out) the right shampoo, condition3er and styling products can be a day of fun. Shiny, healthy and well-groomed hair will ensure your sense of vitality. Also, consider using a good hair stylist. There is nothing liker a new haircut to make a difference. A cut with diagonal lines that "lift" and draw attention away from the jaw line can do wonders for your new look. Whatever style you choose, get it trimmed regularly to maintain its health. And, just as your skin needs proper care - so does your hair. Choose a shampoo that meet your needs, your lifestyle and is formulated for your hair type.

In this day and age of soft hair color choices and highlights or lowlights, a woman does not have to live with gray hair unless it is flattering. The good news is ... there are many choices you can try at home to update your look. Try highlights to your existing color to lift and focus attention above the brow line. Use lowlights to tone down your existing color, which makes for a natural look. Many of today's products for home are enriched with natural ingredients to protect and nurture your hair while you color.

Pay close attention to your hair and listen to its needs. If you notice a change in texture or condition, take time to evaluate what may be happening and make adjustments. Your hair, like your body, sends you signals about what it needs. Is it drier, oilier or frizzier? Get to know your hair and look for products that meet its needs.

Pamper your hair at least once a week. This can be as simple as giving yourself a hot oil treatment, a relaxing scalp massage or applying a special deep conditioning pack. Do something for your hair that makes it feel special. Your hair will respond in kind.
