[Y2]Yankovic Bad Hair Day

by Candice L. Higgins, Can

Let’s face it ladies, when it comes to our hair, we have all had some bad days. No matter what your ethnicity or hair type, this is a common factor that we can all relate to. Whether it’s the rain and humidity or just one of those days where your locks seem to have a mind of it’s own. Well, as bleak as it may seem, there are a few things that we can do to get and keep our hair on the right track(no pun intended). Here are a few quick tips that may help you get through those times.

First, when it comes to styling products there are so many out there that sometimes you may feel overwhelmed when trying to choose what’s right for your hair type. Here’s a rule of thumb that applies to everyone no matter who you are. Less is more! Remember this ladies, when it comes to oil sheen, styling gels, spritz, hair sprays and even conditioners. These products, if used in excess, can weigh your hair down and leave you with a finished product that makes you look like you need to wash it all over again. However, if used sparingly (and I place extra emphasis on the word sparingly) we can all achieve that fresh from the salon look for just pennies at home.

1. It is a must that you find a shampoo/conditioner duo that your hair agrees with. Take the time to experiment by trying various brands until you find one that your hair responds well to. You’ll find that if you change the product that you have been using for that last few months or even years, your hair will thank you for it and reward you with a better attitude. In addition to finding a great new shampoo, you should use a clarifying shampoo about every 8 weeks to remove the build-up from all the styling products you use on a regular basis. This will give your hair more movement and vitality.

Headnote: Clean hair is healthy hair but over washing can do more harm than good by stripping of natural essential oils. If you have dry and/or damaged hair, wash your hair only about every 7 days. If your hair is oily, washing it more often may be necessary. But whether dry or oil, use caution while washing (and combing after washing) to avoid breakage as hair is in its weakest state when it is wet.

2. Conditioners must be rinsed out completely to avoid weighing the hair down. Rinse in cold water if your hair is oily. This will close the pores in your scalp preventing excess oil to saturate your hair. On the contrary, rinse in hot water if your hair is dry. The hot water will draw natural oils from your scalp through the length of your hair creating a natural shine. Not too hot though, you don’t want to burn your scalp!

3. A great product that is often used by professional stylists are anti-frizz serums. These add light shine and prevent your hair from frizzing and puffing up on those humid days and allow you to enjoy outdoor activities in peace. Anti-Frizz serums are worth gold (if used properly). Too much will leave you look a wet puppy… Again, less is more. Only a dime size drop is necessary; rub into palms and evenly distribute over entire head (damp or dry).

4. Oil sheen is only necessary if your hair is feeling and looking dry or dull and in need of a boost of shine. Never spray oil sheen closer than 15 inches close to your hair and keep the bottle rotating at all times. Over use of oil sheen will prevent movement and body in your hair and give a greasy appearance. Instead, opt for a hot oil treatment. Hot oil treatments are far more beneficial than oil sheen when it comes to countering dry/damaged hair.

5. Gels and Spritz tend to be over-drying but if you must use, opt for clear gels over brown as browns especially tend to over-dry the hair and look for spritz with no alcohol.

6. Avoid blow drying hair too often. Occasionally give your hair a break by allowing a little extra time to either let air dry or use low heat under a hooded dryer.

7. For those of you who use curling irons or flat irons on a regular basis; Cut back! Over use of heat styling is extremely damaging. If you haven’t already, replace your old appliances with ceramic. Not only will ceramic curling irons and flat irons make your hair smoother, silkier and shinier they are far less damaging. Select ones with thermostat controls so that you can adjust the heat to a setting that is appropriate for your hair texture.

8. Lastly, there is only so much that we do from the outside. Healthy hair starts from within. This means diet and exercise is essential. Drink lots of water, avoid alcohol in excess, eat fruits and veggies daily, avoid smoking, and get up and get moving.

Of course, these are some basics. Achieving beautiful healthy hair is a life long pursuit. Let’s continue to make this world a more fabulous place by loving our locks!

The term "bad hair day? has been a little overused. This is a puzzle for people who have hair that is usually presentable, if not perfectly styled and beautiful. Why do terrible hair days occur? How much of the time is it caused by mistreatment and not bad luck? Whose fault is it anyway? Hello? The Hair Gods maybe?

It is phrase that resonates with us since we sometimes try to boil away our problems into one unrelated complaint. Or does it hit a nerve because something fairly insignificant can overwhelm and spoil the day?

1. First, you need to make sure that you are not just projecting your irrelevant, bigger issues onto completely blameless hair. Some pensive meditation on your day can prove helpful. Is your hair the culprit? Sometimes taking a picture today and then again on one of your good days to compare it with will help. Do you think that your hair appears different? You need to get the root of the problem of why you continue to have bad hair days regardless of what you do to stop them.

2. If your bad hair days are happening more often, you risk them becoming (horror of horrors) ... normal hair days! Too oily or too dry, which is your hair? Either of these extremes will cause bad hair until you treat it back to good health. In order to accomplish this end, we need to change not only the hair products we are using but also how we eat and groom ourselves. Learn new methods and techniques for treating your dry hair and greasy hair. Get your hair condition right!

3. Days with bad hair can even be caused by a new style or cut. It takes weeks or days before your hair has grown enough to look good. When you are growing your hair it can often feel like you have bad hair days. Having a different stylist style hair can help you shake the bad hair day. If the bad hair stops as your hair grows longer, then take note of how long your hair needs to be in order to look attractive with that style. The more you talk to the hairstylist, the more that you will avoid bad hair days.

4. Does a rushed morning usually cause your bad hair days? We should all acquire healthy habits in the morning as we get ready for school, work or idling. When you sleep in it makes you rush and upsets your routine. So have a guess...sometimes our day doesn't start off well due to a problem getting our hair to do what we want it to do. That routine took more time than we were allotted. Was this a time when you blow dried your hair longer or put more hair spray that you should have used? Maybe you forgot the product that your hairstyle needs. Sometimes we all have a tendency to ignore the empty bottle and the next morning we will chastise ourselves because we are out of a particular product. Slow down, rushing around is often the cause of experiencing bad hair days.

It is a good bet to believe that everyone knows somebody that never has bad hair days. Not one follicle is out of place in these cases. When hair is healthy, every cuticle will appear to shine. ?Groan...It would be great if there was a way to do this" you think.

You might want someone to have an extraordinary bad hair experience but you can have healthy hair like theirs as well. You can be the individual who never experiences a terrible hair day. It's all a matter of whether you want to tolerate the occasional bad hair day, or devote the time and effort to ensure that it never happens again. Are you prepared to follow these three steps?

- Fix your morning routine and you will do better.

- Talk over with your hairstylist what you really want your hair to do and the way you are currently taking care of it.

- Cope with your hair type and make the required changes to avoid dry or oily hair.

By following these steps you can put an end to the bad hair days that you dread so much.
