Hair rebonding is now common to get rid of your curly and wavy hair. Even me, i used to rebond my hair in my trusted salon. Though my hair is not curly and i have naturally straight hair. Others do rebonding because they want to straighten their curly hair which earlier look like a bird’s nest, it sounds pretty and funny but it look real bad if it not suit with your face cut and features.
Since rebonding involves harsh chemical, it is important to use and maintain proper treatment. A regular use of conditioner. I used to go in a salon for monthly hair spa or hot oil to maintain beautiful and glow of my hair. I avoid using any heating elements such as hair blower or anything that can cause dry and dull to hair. I use wide comb to settle down my hair. Some other things are regular oil massage, i do steam my hair and i apply masks at regular intervals. Rebonded hair is quite predispose to dryness and becoming frizzy proper care treatment after rebonding is important to keep hair hydrated, smooth and shiny.

Hair care should not mean overspending at salons. It only takes basic hair care routines to get a healthy mane. Here’s the following tips:
1. Regularly use the shampoo and conditioner recommended for your hair type ( permed, color-treated) to offset the effects of sunlight and pollution.
2. Have your hair trimmed every five to six weeks to avoid split ends and save your current style.
3. Never use harsh nylon or metal combs or brushes if your hair strands are brittle.
4. Don’t brush wet hair. Use a wide-toothed comb to separate the tangles.
5. Don’t comb hair too much because this strips it of natural oils if your hair is dry. It over-stimulates the oil glands if you have oily hair.
6. Don’t brush or comb starting from the back. It will damage the hair strands.
7. Do regular exercises, especially head bends, to encourage blood circulation.

There are a lots of mistakes when we wash our hair everyday. We should remember that our hair is that the individual strands of our hair, no matter how thick or strong it looks, it’s very delicate.
Here’s some right ways of washing our hair. First is to comb the tangles out of the hair before you wet it so that the hair could wash easily and the tangles would not worsen. Next, is wet the hair thoroughly under the shower,for best results we can use the warm water to open the scale-like cuticles of the hair and wash the oil and dirt off. And then, we can rinse the hair with cold water to close the cuticles and add tho the shine of our hair. Rinse hair under the shower to rid off the styling aids you have been used using gentle strokes of your fingertips. Put a small amount of shampoo in the palm of the hands, rub hands together and gently apply it on scalp, not on the ends of the hair. Do not mixed all of the hair over the scalp which it can cause tangles. After this, rinse thoroughly.

Here are a couple of hair care tips for red hairs, for brunette.
Hair Care Tips for Brunette
Turn on the light in the bathroom or whatever room the mirror is in. Now, look in the mirror. Do you have hair? If so, you can go brown. It’s true, even if you have very pale skin or very dark skin, there is a shade of brunette that is right for you. Let’s start with the pale, or melatonin challenged; think of opposites. The lighter your skin tone, the richer your brown shade should be. I know that doesn’t sound like it should be that way, but think of the contrast. If you have light skin and go for a light brown shade for your locks, it may make you appear to be washed out, even tired looking. Most of us are busy and lacking the proper sleep as it is; we don’t need counterproductive help from our new shade. Try a dark chocolate color, and while you are waiting for it to process, try eating some dark chocolate!
Now, if you are not as melatonin challenged as others, try a lighter shade ;like a chestnut brown. Once again think of contrast. If you have olive colored skin, try adding some beautifully delicious honey tones in the form of highlights or tinted gloss on a base color not much darker than a medium brown. If you have dark skin try adding lots and lots of gold and honey highlights all over. There are new hair color products on the market made primarily for brunette hair, whether for the base color or for adding highlights. Also, there are special haircoloring kits with the base color and a highlighting step as well. These are all at-home products costing around $20.00US or less, and can produce a very nice result; though you may need to enlist the help of a friend, unless you’re a contortionist, to reach some of those spots in the back for a more even result.

Here are some cool hair care tips if you have medium to long hair…
Cutting Long Hair
If you are cutting your long hair for the first time try a shoulder length cut. A medium length cut will get you used to shorter hair without the dramatic change to a short cut. You’ll love the added volume you’ll get from a shoulder length cut.
Pony Tails
If you put your hair in pony tails try to use a coated rubberband or soft cloth hair scrunchies. Try not to use clips or bows too often as they tend to break and crease the hair.
If you have any other tips for long hair, or any other hair care tips, please leave a comment and we appreciate it.
