TEXTURE - Hairstyle Trends

Hello Wave - Textured Looks for Hair

Curl, bend, wave, kink and coil….Soft texture for hair is big! It’s not your mother’s poodle-perm or overly stiff coils with exaggerated silhouettes. Texture today is more about delicate internal movement that accents current cuts and color. Natural texture is embraced while overly smooth, stuck-to-your-head styles are now a thing of the past. Body, volume and soft movement with an array of styling options is in.

For your new textured hairstyle, look to the salon professionals at Fantastic Sams for guidance. And, let this collection of movement-friendly styles inspire your curl desire.

The Looks
1. For Alexandra’s naturally straight hair, stylist Linda Morrell of Fantastic Sams in Norco, California started a shoulder length blunt cut and added some graduated layers. FantasticStyle Nourishing Serum, Firm Hold Gel and Smoothing Gel were layered on before rough-drying with her fingers to remove the moisture. Next, Linda curled sections of dry hair with a large iron, alternating the curl direction.

2. Wassan Sano of Fantastic Sams in Huntington Beach, California started Alison’s curly look by cutting an A-line bob and infusing some dimension with warm shades of brown and blonde. Wassan applied FantasticStyle X-treme Gel on damp hair and blow-dried with a round brush. Next, after adding a finger wave through the front, she misted Shaping Spray onto ½-inch vertical sections and wrapped each section around a small curling iron, alternating the curl direction back and forth. A dab of Pomade was rubbed onto her hands before running her fingers through the hair to break up the sections.

3. To dress up any length of hair, consider adding some glossy curls. Miriam Palacios of Fantastic Sams in Ontario, California wrapped small sections of Casandra’s dry hair tightly around a medium curling iron and then finger-styled the coils into place for a picture-perfect finish.

4. For Daisy, Eneyda Puente of Fantastic Sams in Corona, California started with long layers and subtle highlights. She applied FantasticStyle Nourishing Serum and Firm Hold Gel onto damp hair and then, avoiding the first several inches starting at the roots, set the length on spiral rollers. Once completely dry, the rollers were undone and a wide-toothed comb was run through the curls to create a fingerwave effect.

5. Stylist Bridgett Inmon of Fantastic Sams in Marina Del Rey, California started this flared-outward look utilizing Ashley’s long layers with forward graduation. She applied FantasticStyle Nourishing Serum, Smoothing Gel and Styling Foam, layering each onto damp hair before blow-drying with a paddle brush. Bridgett flat ironed the top and loosely curled the rest of the hair away from the face, misting with Shine Spray and Finishing Spray to finalize the hairstyle.

6. Barely-there waves give Kiara’s length hairstyle soft movement. Berenise Guzman of Fantastic Sams in Corona, California started with smooth, dry hair and loosely curled large sections with a medium iron, alternating the direction of the curl for a subtle wave.

7. For Juliana, stylist Magda Nieblas of Fantastic Sams in Corona, California started with naturally fine, wavy hair. She framed Julina’s face with highlights and added shattered layers to her lengthy strands. After rough-drying with her fingers to remove the moisture, Magda misted FantsticStyle Shaping Spray onto one-inch sections before wrapping each around a medium iron, creating a series of barrel curls away from her face.

8. A messy diagonal part and wandering waves give Kristine’s shoulder-touching hairstyle soft movement. Guadalupe Mariscal of Fantastic Sams in Corona, California started with FantasticStyle Nourishing Serum and Styling Foam, layering each on before blow-drying with a round brush. Thermal Guard was then misted onto medium sections, which were each curled away from the face in front and in alternating directions in back.

Shea Butter for Hair Treatment

Shea butter for hair treatment - One of the many natural hair products and easy to find around us is Shea butter. Shea butter often we read in the composition of beauty and naturally products and hair care naturally products such as in the shampoos, conditioners, hot oil treatments, soaps, lotions and creams. Shea butter hair treatment was first used in African women to prevent the issues surrounding their curly, dry and unmanageable hair. Shea butter has been used by African women has been passed down through generations and are believed to overcome all the hair problems.

Shea butter is processed from the Shea tree of Vitellaria Sapotaceae tribe parasoxa CF Gaertin which are common in the African continent, especially in the area of the Sahara desert that is known and it is phenomenal. This tree is one of African to be one of the very commodities bolster their economies so that many farmers who grow it. Before modern technology found the people use a simple and traditional way to make Shea butter but now they are using more sophisticated tools in making Shea butter processing exported to various countries including the United States. Shea butter is widely consumed as a substitute for cooking oil in the diet.
Elsewhere use Shea to make soap, healing balm, cosmetics, candles, oil lamps, and for residential waterproofing putty. Shea wood was used to make tools, flooring, joinery, chair, equipment, and mortar and pestle. Wood also created fierce heat and can be prepared as a substitute for kerosene, but the destruction of trees' for fuel is not recommended because it uses more prominent drugs and economic contribution to rural African villages.

With a fat content of 50% Shea butter is very well suited to cope with hair loss and make your hair shiny and soft. Therefore a lot of cosmetic products and natural hair treatment which also uses Shea butter as a main ingredient.

Shea butter for natural hair care products

Shea butter has been sold all around us so we do not need to home making Shea butter from the original tree. American women almost exclusively use it in cosmetics, in Africa has diverse uses. Around the world Shea butter is used for its ability to soothe the child's skin, softens rough skin, protect against sunburn, chapping, irritation, ulcers and rheumatism.

The benefits of Shea butter for dry hair care and chapped very well because it can provide natural UV protection directly. This is one of the reasons it is loved by people of African skin and hair almost constantly exposed to weather conditions and occasionally harsh. UV protection is useful in other places too. After some hair UV protection allows us to maintain the spirit of nature, color care and tenderness.
To emollient and softening the quality of Shea butter makes it useful for hair and body, because it is easily and rapidly absorbed when applied topically. Shea butter is very dense and it may be too heavy for certain types or oily hair. The hair is thin but curly hair or wavy can become overburdened from Shea. For those fascinated by the benefits that they want to try it even though they have a lighter textured hair I recommend using Shea butter as a hot oil treatment and followed with 1 part apple cider vinegar to 3 parts water as an astringent. People who wear their hair in locs and use Shea as a pomade will also find useful periodic cleaning agents if they want to avoid oily build up that may occur.

However, for most types of hair, Shea is good hot oil treatment, where it was melted, cooled slightly, then applied warm to the ends of the hair and scalp branching occurs. Using the art brush is a useful way to apply warm oil to the scalp. Part your hair in any sections as you work. Wearing a plastic cap, sit in the sun, if possible, or at the bottom of the hair for at least 1 hour. Or, cover head with a towel to retain heat. After half an hour shampoo and rinse thoroughly.

Biotin Hair Growth

Biotin hair growth - One of the main supplement to increase hair growth are vitamin. Biotin is classified in B-complex vitamin which is water-soluble and is easily absorbed by the body from the food we eat.

All organisms need biotin for the proper functioning of the body and are synthesized by the useful bacteria in our body. Other major sources of biotin include foods like green peas, oats, brewer’s yeast, soybeans, sunflower seeds, brown rice and walnuts. Scientific studies have proven that there is a connection between biotin and hair loss as it is an essential component for the proper of human hair growth. A deficiency of this vitamin results in unhealthy and damaged hair which is easily breakable, ultimately causing loss of hair.

The Biotin Absorption

Biotin is usually easily absorbed in to the body, but the absorption gets affected if the food contains more proteins. When the food has high content of proteins, the assimilation of biotin from the food decreases as biotin quickly binds with proteins and this is not available for the body needs. This will ultimately result in the deficiency or scarcity of biotin and hair loss will start to occur. So, in order to have better biotin absorption it is better to reduce raw eggs, protein powders and other protein rich items from the diet. Using biotin rich shampoos are very effective in reducing hair loss. Individuals with A type blood are advised to take biotin supplements as they can’t absorb B vitamins properly from the diet.

Biotin Supplements for hair growth

Biotin supplements are regarded by many to be the most effective natural products that will be able to combat hair loss. Biotin and hair loss are said to go hand in hand as they are used both as a hair growth vitamin and is also used to prevent excessive hair loss. The fatty acids which are responsible for the growth of various components of the body including hair are metabolized by using of biotin. If a person is deficient in Vitamin B complex, especially Vitamin B6, biotin, folic acid, pantothenic acid and niacin, then hair loss will be prominent in the person. Severe deficiency of biotin causes reduced growth of eyelashes as well as eye brows. The deficiency of biotin can be prevented by taking 5 to 8 grams of Biotin supplements twice daily.

Biotin is necessary for the proper metabolism of fats and amino acids in the body and work by attaching to the carboxylase enzymes that catalyzes metabolic reactions in the body. A part from causing hair loss, the biotin deficiency also results in weak and brittle nails as well as unhealthy skin. So, biotin is very useful in hair loss treatment and some skin disorders. Biotin can be used in hair loss treatment because It does not have any proven side effects. The availability of biotin from the food is very minimal and hence taking biotin supplements and using biotin enriched shampoos are advised for people with severe hair loss problems.

Recommended daily intake of Biotin

The daily recommendation for the dietary intake of biotin varies from children to adults. The infants falling within the age group of 0 to 12 months require a daily dosage of 5 to 6 mcg per day. Children between the age group of 1 to 8 years will require about 8 mcg to 12 mcg per day. An adequate intake of about 20 mcg per day is recommended for children who fall in the age group of 9 to 13 years. In the adolescent years, a daily intake of 25 mcg per day of biotin supplements is prescribed by the Food and Nutrition board. For adults and pregnant females, 30 mcg per day is the optimal level of intake of biotin. A breast feeding mother has to consume at least 35 mcg of biotin a day to maintain a glowing skin, healthy nails and well grown hairs. As deficiency of biotin and hair loss are related, proper balance of biotin levels in the body is necessary to prevent hair loss.
