Tips To Great Hair Care | Asian Hair

Having a hair cut can change your look positively and sometimes you will feel better after having a new asian hair cut or color. Besides a new hair cut or color, you will also need to take proper care for your hair to prevent it from needless damage. Take advantage of the tips below on proper hair care.

1. Natural sebum hair oil

One of the key elements to having shiny, healthy asian hair is to allow the natural oils in the scalp to lubricate it naturally. The hair closest to the scalp benefit from natural sebum oils the most while the hair further away benefit less. Thus, long hair can become dry and brittle from a lack of these natural sebum oils.

2. Shampooing your hair

While shampoos perform a simple job of removing excess oils, pollution and styling product residue that build up on the hair. All of your hair needs is gentle cleansing on the top two or three inches of your asian hair from your hair roots, which is most concentrated with natural hair sebum oil. Try to prevent intense washing of your hair (such as washing your hair 2 or more times a day), as this will reduce the amount of natural hair sebum oil on your hair, which can be good for your hair with the right oil balance. Intense washing will strip the natural hair sebum oils.

3. Conditioning your hair

Conditioning on the other hand should be used more on the hair ends instead of the top parts of your hair. Conditioning is an important step to replace needed lost natural hair oils and it will also protect your asian hair against harsh styling tools such as blow dryers and irons.

4. Hair style and cut

Besides relying on natural hair sebum oil, your hair will look good when you choose a style that requires the least maintenance, such as using of stying items like hair dyers, flat irons, hair gel etc.  Choosing a style that suits the texture of your hair will also eliminate the need for harsh styling tools.

5. Blow-drying of hair

When blow drying your hair, keep the blow dryer at least six inches faway rom your hair to prevent excessive damage to your asian hair from the heat. The right way to blow drying is to blow in the direction of the shaft (down the length of hair) to prevent hair damage.

6. Chemcial hair treatment

Anytime you use are going to use chemicals on your hair (such as applying hair due), you should make sure your hair is in a healthy condition before going for it. Over-doing of chemical treatment on hair can damage your asian hair beyond repair and might even affect the results of the chemical treatment.

7. Split ends

Your asian hair will look healthier and shinier when you remove dry split ends. Going for a hair trim every 6 to 8 weeks will help to keep split ends at bay.

So do keep in mind these 7 simple steps to maintain a healthy hair that will put you on track to more ‘good asian hair days’ than you ever thought possible!

Choosing The Right Hair Dryer | Asian Hair

We all know that thermal styling can cause damage to your delicate asian hair and that by choosing the right styling tools you can reduce that damage considerably. But how do you know which tools are the right ones? I mean, the packaging on most thermal styling tools announces that the dryer or curling iron contained inside is your best option. With all of the manufacturer’s touting their products as the best on the market, just how are you supposed to choose your tools wisely?

When it comes to hair dryers, there aren’t very many options at the department store but you will find a wide variety of prices there. While many dryers will look different in style and design, most conventional dryers are fundamentally the same no matter how much you pay for them.

If you want to save on hair damage by purchasing a hair dryer at a department store, you should pay attention to how hot the dryer gets since heat causes the most damage. Also, look for a dryer that has heat control settings and a “cool shot” button. If you have naturally curly hair, try to choose a dryer that comes with a diffuser to eliminate frizz. The rest of the frills you can do without.

Aside from the conventional blow dryer found in most department stores, beauty supply stores have started to carry state-of-the art blow dryers and thermal styling tools that utilize ceramic and negative ionic energy to style hair and keep it healthy. A blow dryer that uses this type of energy dries your hair in half the time using less heat. The construction of the ionic blow dryer also utilizes ceramic heating elements instead of traditional metal ones to infuse moisture and health deep into the asian hair strand while at the same time drying it.

While the ionic hair dryers are the best for your asian hair, they come with a hefty price tag: most models cost around $100. When compared with the fact that you can purchase a conventional hair dryer for about $10, the cost may not seem worth it for many people. But for those who dry their hair daily and want to keep their hair shiny and healthy, no cost is too high.

The bottom line to choosing the right hair dryer is this: Choose the least damaging hair dryer that you possibly can while staying within your budget. If you can afford more, it is best spent at the beauty supply than at the department store where you will spend more for looks rather than quality.
