Flowers In Her Hair

I love some of these photos so thought I would add more.

This is one hair fashion that will always be popular

Hair Flowers

Hair flowers

Remind us of Spring and bring a sense of fresh wholesomeness.

Some prefer beautiful flower adornments to sparkling hair jewellery. I, like the majority of people love both and wear them on different occassions, sometimes to express a mood or to compliment either a casual or special occassion.

There are fake flower clips, real flower clips, flowers on headbands, and even the use of natural flowers. Flowers add a real nice touch to hairstyles, especially fresh flowers. A small flower pin can add a little twist to a simple hairstyle, while a floral headband can add a special touch to a low maintenance hairstyle and also pull an outfit together.

The perfect accessory item.

Hair Jewellery

Is one of the most widely used of all hair accessories. There's such a huge variety of jewelled hair accessories. Different types, styles--so many to choose from.

There are many different hair jewellery bling clips, headbands, tiaras and so on -- all add sparkle and pop to the hair.

Different coloured jewels match different hair shades, so be careful and have a little think before deciding on the perfect piece of hair jewellery that would suit you best. Either that, or just bust out and shop all you want. Get as many pieces of hair jewellery as your little heart desires.

You might want to consider matching coloured hair jewellery with the shade of your hair. For instance a light blue or aquamarine will compliment blonde hair nicely, while bright reds can bring out the highlights in brunette hair. Or what ever... just go get what you like personally, don't worry about pleasing everyone else as long as you like what you choose... you will be the one wearing it!

If your hair style requires the hair to be pinned behind the ears, a jewelled accessory above the ear would be perfect.

8. Protect your hair when swimming

Swimming is a great way to exercise, benefiting the body as a whole. Unfortunately chlorine used in swimming pools can damage your hair by stripping it of essential oils and nutrients which results in dry, brittle and broken hair.  In some cases, high levels of copper and other chemicals in the water can cause hair to turn green. Protect your hair against these damaging effects by wearing a swimming cap taking care to wash your hair every time you have been for a swim.  Use a mild shampoo, a deep conditioner and consider using hair masks every so often.

9. Have a deep conditioning treatment

Give your hair a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week as this will help prevent dryness, strengthen hair strands and provide extra nutrients which promote hair health.

6. Avoid excessive heat on your hair

Hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons help style your hair so that you look fabulous but be aware that this comes at a cost. They are fine for short term use
but prolonged use can dry out your hair causing split ends and breakage. They can
even cause you to experience excessive hair shedding. It may help if you choose a 
cooler setting on your hairdryer or use curling irons that don’t need to be heated.

7. Brush your hair properly

This may sound obvious but it is possible to really damage your hair by incorrect brushing. Never use force. Don’t brush wet hair. If you feel as though you have to comb through, then be care, use a comb never a brush.

5. Avoid or reduce lifestyle factors

These include stress, smoking and pollution.

Stress, smoking and pollution are all external factors which can have a negative effect on our hair.

Stress can be good for us in small doses but extreme or chronic stress causes health problems. Stress may affect the hair growth cycle, causing the follicles to shut down which prevents further hair growth. Reducing your stress levels will benefit your body mind and soul as well as your hair.

Smoking is bad for our health and adversely affects hair growth as well. It restricts blood flow (and circulation) to the hair follicles which impacts upon its ability to grow new hair.  Try to cut down on your smoking if you can or even better give up altogether. There are many sources of help for those who would like to give up smoking, I'm sure it must be terribly difficult but if you would like to try to give it up ask your GP they will be able to help point you in the right direction. Your body will thank you and your family and friends will hug and congratulate you for finding the strength and courage to win the nicotine battle.

We can’t always prevent pollution, such as car exhaust fumes but we can take steps to minimise exposure. If you live in an area which is heavily polluted then protect your hair by wearing a hat, you may need to wash it more frequently and finish off with a good conditioner.

3. Avoid tight hairstyles such as dreadlocks or tight braiding.

These are very fashionable hairstyles, my daughter had dreadlocks for many years and I loved the look on her. Dreadlocks look great but unfortunately as my daughter discovered is not good for your hair long term. Both tight braids and dreadlocks pull the hair too tight which strains the hair follicles weakening them over time, resulting in hair thinning and eventually hair loss.

4. Avoid using to many hair products

Hair products such as gels, hairsprays, conditioners, mousses and colours can enhance your hair but overuse can damage hair strands or even cause hair loss. When used too often you may get a build up of product in the hair, causing it to weaken and break.

Excessive use of hair products can also cause your hair to become brittle and dry increasing the chance of getting split ends. Product abuse may also cause hair thinning and hair loss. Give your hair a break a couple days a week, this will allow your hair time to regenerate itself.

Top 10 Hair Care Tips

1. Choose the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type

There are heaps of different brands of shampoos and conditioners out there these days, make sure that you choose one that suits your hair type. For example, if you have dry hair, then use a shampoo which is designed for dry hair. Check the ingredients as many shampoos contain additives that may be too harsh for your hair. Shampoos that contain dimethicone and guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride will help ensure that your hair stays soft and shiny.

2. Follow a healthy diet

Eat healthy foods. This will ensure that your hair remains in pretty good condition.
Fresh fruit and vegetables, wholegrains as well as vegetable sources of protein will be appreciated by your hair as well as your body.

Include lots of water in your diet. Drinking the recommended 6 to 8 glasses of water a day will keep your skin as well as your hair properly hydrated. Consider adding a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement to your diet and reduce your intake of fatty or fried foods, salt and sugar.
