Secrets of Having Shiny Hair

Shiny hair is the desire of most women and the weapon of some of them. With today’s wide variety of hair care products, it is difficult to become familiar with them.

World-famous hair-care companies advertise their high-priced products for ensuring nice and shiny hair. However, some of them are not organic-based and contain harmful chemicals. So, nTouch Salon is here to introduce natural ways of getting shiny hair to you.

The main guarantee for healthy and shiny hair is to go natural. Always use natural hair care products for everyday hair care. Herbal shampoos and conditioners feed your hair properly, making it strong and sturdy. For silky hair it is not necessary to use chemical products, you can just rinse your hair with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. You can also acquire a natural moisturizerto rinse your hair.

After rinsing your hair don’t rub it with a towel–let it air dry. Your hair will get sufficiently hydrated and moisturized in this way. Don’t use a hair dryer on your wet hair. Wait until it is more or less dry.

While coiffing your hair, use herbal creams so you won’t harm the hair roots and ends. Don’t wash your hair every now and then. The quality of your hair will reduce with frequent washing, as the water not only cleans your hair, but also takes out a great deal of important oils from your scalp. Wash your hair three times a week. Visit nTouch Salon's hairdressers for coiffing your hair, a professional hairdresser knows how to make your hair silky without burning the ends.

Besides going natural, you should also have your hair cut once a month. If you do not cut your hair, it won’t be able to absorb necessary hydration and vitamins.

Many world-famous expensive companies promise silky and shiny hair results with a single wash. Do not rely on such products. Just try to keep your hair healthy and cared for. Properly cared hair will never look deformed and dull.

All You Can Do To Your Hair

Taking care of your hair is not necessarily a matter of salon hair care and hairdressers. You can manage to do that all yourself.

And it doesn’t matter whether you cut your hair every two weeks and dye it once a month or never try other colors, because you are in love with your natural hair… The most important thing is that you like the way you look.

Some women try to hide the fact that they bring the photo of their favorite actress to the hairdresser, asking him to copy the celebrity hair color or style. It’s not a shame to do that. If you think that the particular hairstyle will suit you, just do it. On you it will never look the same as on someone else: as soon as you get the haircut, it will become yours, only yours.

If you have fair hair, dying it yourself will not be a big problem. But be careful if your hair is dark. I would not advise you to lighten the color on your own. The consequence may be “extraordinary” — your hair can gain a peculiar greenish-blueish color, which will be hard to get rid of.

On the other hand, having an extraordinary hair color is not a disaster. If you want to be bright and look striking, that’s the best way to achieve it. Break the stereotypes, don’t be shy to experiment.

Most women think that men prefer long hair styles, but still this is not an obstacle to cut your hair. Just take a look at the celebrity short hair cuts – the sexiest pop-stars cut their hair short and men still adore them: so where is the logic for following these stupid stereo types?

Cut your hair, keep it long, shave one side of your head, do crazy hairstyles or stay natural — just be yourself and make sure your haircut suits you. If it does and you look beautiful, nobody will dare say a word of protest to how you look or how you want to be.

Choose Your Hairstyle

Fashion reflects on everything. It may change the way we dress, our lifestyle  and our priorities. Conquer the fashion world with the advice of the beauty blog.

Today being stylish requires quite a lot of skills as we have to be aware of all the rules of fashion. One of the rules stipulates that a haircut must by no means go with your style and express who you are. Haircut styles differ but apart from the style preferences we have to pay attention to the face shape.

An oval face has the most desired features and almost all hairstyles and cuts are good for them. A face with balanced proportions may be complimented by a long, short or medium hair style. If you have an oval face shape then you have a beautifully outlined bone structure, so experiment freely by emphasizing your perfect features.

Medium and short-length hair is appropriate for those who have a square face shape. You can reduce the strictness of your jawline with curls.  Wispy bangs will also do. Straight hair will not soften your features.

A round face shape needs to be minimized to some extend. Layers will help to reduce the roundness. The length that is preferable must be either above the jawline or below it and in no way on the same level with the chin. Avoid heavy bangs.

Hair Rebonding

What is Rebonding? 

Rebonding is a chemical hair treatment that makes your hair straight, sleek and shiny. It is a permanent and expensive procedure. Prices for the treatment may vary across salons due to products used, service, your hair type and post treatment care. 
Each type of hair has a natural bond.Curly or wavy, are the result of natural bonds that give the hair its physical quality. The cream softener or relaxant used in the rebonding treatment breaks the hair structure. Then a neutraliser bonds the structure again and makes hair straight. In simpler terms the rebonding treatment changes your natural hair structure and restructures it. 
Once your hair is straightened you have to touch up the new growth every three months, six months or a year, depending upon your growth.

The Process of Rebonding 

The time taken to complete a rebonding treatment depends upon the length, type and thickness of your hair. Hair till mid back can take about 8 hours or more to be rebonded. A man’s hair might need three hours. Here’s the step by step approach to rebonding. 

1. Hair is washed with a mild shampoo. No conditioner is applied. Hair is dried completely with a blow dryer keeping it on the medium level. 

2. Hair is separated into parts. The cream softener or relaxant is applied to every hair shaft, keeping it straight. A thin plastic board is used to keep hair straight. 

3. Cream softener or relaxant is kept on hair for at least half an hour or depending upon the hair type. Keeping it for too long may even harm hair. After that hair is steamed for 10 to 40 minutes, depending upon hair type and condition, and then rinsed. 

4. Hair is blow dried and then keratin lotion is applied. 

5. A flat iron is used to straighten hair further and break any remaining curls. The iron should not exceed 180 degrees. A ceramic iron is better than other metal irons. The salon expert will iron your hair until it is satisfactorily straight and shiny. 

6. Hair is again parted and a neutraliser is applied to set the bonds and stabilise the hair.

7. The neutraliser is kept for at least 30 minutes. 

8. The neutraliser is rinsed off with cold water. Hair is blow dried and hair serum is applied. A last touch of ironing is given with the straightening iron. Hair appears silky straight and shiny. 

A salon professional will restrict you from washing your hair for minimum three days. It allows the treatment to set. You will be asked not to clip your hair, tie a rubber band or wear any other accessories in your hair for minimum three days. Wearing a shower cap while having a bath is also advisable, to prevent hair from becoming wet.

Is rebonding harmful for hair? 

Any chemical process affects hair texture and quality. Excessive use of chemicals makes hair dry, weak and can even lead to hairfall. Hair rebonding requires post treatment care otherwise it may turn harmful. Cheap chemicals, inexperienced hair stylists and weak hair can make rebonding a bad experience. 

Hair rebonding can turn into a disaster if you do not take care of your hair. Hair will need extra pampering once it has been rebonded. You cannot ignore your hair just because it looks straight and shiny. Rebonding done from a reputed and trustworthy salon lasts longer and hair quality does not suffer. Discuss your hair condition and the treatment before your scheduled appointment.

How to take care of rebonded hair

HAIR CARE TIPS from nTouch Salon

It's surprising the way some people treat their hair.

Instead of giving it the respect it deserves, they tug at it with their hair brush, secure it with plain elastic bands that stick to the hair, lick it, chew it, clean their inky hands with it, stick their pens in it, wipe that excess eye-liner off on it.
While shampooing, rub it, scrub it, pull it and generally bash it around before stuffing it under the full blast of a hair dryer.
Phew! It's shameful.
Just because they're not going bald in a hurry, they take it for granted. And then they wonder why their hair isn't a shiny, swinging, sexy mane like in the ads, in spite of using the same shampoo!
Well, understand the facts of life. Hair is delicate, growing stuff which need to be handled with care. A lot of care.
First, identify your hair type. Is it normal, oily or dry?
So, who's normal? Well, if your hair isn't a constant maze of split ends, doesn't become oily quickly and is fairly well behaved, you could say it is normal.
Wash your hair twice a week with a mild shampoo and conditioner for normal hair. Towel dry lightly. Blow dry from at least five inches away, whether your hair is normal, dry or oily. 
Stress, hormonal activity (puberty, childbirth), thyroid problems and eating too much fatty food and chocolates are what usually cause oily hair.
Oily hair needs to be washed more often but don't scrub too hard while washing. It won't get your hair any cleaner or less oilier. What it will do is further aggravate the already overactive sebaceous glands on your scalp, not to mention cause damage to the delicate follicles.
And don't pile hair on the head while shampooing, even though it may look great in the ads. It causes tangling, leading to further breakage.
You could add lemon to the final rinse for a great shine. If you don't have time to shampoo every few days or feel lazy and leave it oily, your hair won't just look terrible, but dirt will get lodged under its surface causing breakage and damage not to mention dandruff. This will lead to skin problems such as acne on your chest, back and face.
So you need to be careful about washing hair regularly, though you could condition it just twice a month. However, if your hair has been chemically treated, you should condition hair after every wash as chemical strips hair of its natural oils. 
If your hair is dry, wash it twice a week with a shampoo for dry hair, followed by a conditioner. If your scalp feels very dry and flaky, use an anti-dandruff shampoo. Be very gentle with the ends of the hair, which are the driest parts and tend to split easily.
You may be tempted to use styling products to tame the frizz, but avoid it. Frizz is usually caused by the inadequate flow of sebum from the roots, as it is being blocked by the flaky scalp. Give your hair a good oil massage before washing, to loosen the flakes, and rinse hair extra thoroughly.
