Straight, curly or kinky celeb hair

Straight, curly or Kinky hair

In the beginning, hair is alive. The hair shaft grows from the follicle, a pocket like structure, deep in the dermis. There are 5 million hair follicles on the human body. At birth, the number of hairs on your head has been determined. If you are a Scandinavian blonde, you have the most hairs- up to 140,000. Brunettes are born with 110,000; and redheads, whose hair shaft are the thickest, has only 90,000.

There are four types of hair texture:

- Straight. Straight hair has absolutely no curl or wave. It can be baby fine and limp, or thick and coarse, which is a common for Asians and native Americans.

- Wavy. Hairdresser loves to work with a wavy hair. Although it stays close to the scalp when it grows out, it's easier to curl then straight hair, and it's raggedness gives it more body, thickness and pliability.

- Curly. A woman with unruly mops of hair seems to be obsessed with controlling it. This is very high maintenance hair that will curl or even frizz with the slightest rain or high humidity. Volume is difficult to predict or manage.

- Kinky. Frizzy and spiraled, kinky hair is prone to breakage because it has the fewest layers of protection and every bend of the curl has an inherent weakness. Hair benefits from conditioning. It needs very combing except a lift once in a while with a pick. It grows so dense that it can trap natural oils and dead skin cells close to the scalp, so it may be rinsed or washed regularly.

Your hair with change in texture and color from the time you are born until your early teens. Once you have gone through puberty, the hair you have is the hair you will keep for the rest of your life. You may get grey and, in the case of men, experience male-pattern baldness, but you are growth patterns will remain the same.

Like every cell in your body, he has a specific growth cycle. At any given time, hairs on your body are growing, resting, dormant, or sloughing in 4 to 6 years, it could brought to the length of three feet.

What causes damaged hair and what can I do about it?

What causes damaged hair and what can I do about it?


- Split ends. Damage at the very end of the hair shafts results in split ends. The only solution: Cut them off.

- Frizzies. Frizzies happen when the cuticle of the hair is disturbed by over processing (like using perms and tints at the same time) , by friction (teasing and brushing) , and by seeks which is the biggest culprit. Friction, by the way, can be something as gentle as towel -drying your hair or simply running your fingers through it. These are anti freeze products on the market to smooth distributed cuticles. But the best way to get rid of the freezes is to avoid them altogether. Be gentle with your hair; do not snap combs or brushes through it, don't attempt to comb or brush wet hair without a detangler.

- Environmental damage. Sunlight, pollution, swimming pool chlorine, and tap water can all dry hair. Protect your hair when you swim by rubbing in conditioner and leaving it in and by wearing a bathing cap. Rinse your hair thoroughly when you get out of the pool to get rid of the chlorine. If your tap water is hard, buying shampoos and conditioners specially formulated to compensate.

- Chemical processing. Permanent waves, straightening, and dyes can all dry the hair and disturb the cuticle. Avoid doing two or more at the same time.
