Tips to make caring for all hair types a breeze

11/08/2020 No Comments

If you’re looking to learn how to care for different hair types, you’re in the right place. Whether your hair is damaged, dry, curly, straight, or fine, you need to know your hair’s curl patterns, its density and styling need because healthy self-care includes your hair.

The key is to understand what each type needs so you can style it well and keep it healthy. Read these tips that we have put together to help keep your tresses looking healthy, shiny and beautiful.

If you have damaged hair

Tip: Try using a nourishing oil

How often do you use hair oil? If you have damaged hair, be it from the environment, colour or heat styling, this is something to consider including in your routine. As the name suggests, it toes the line between a serum and an oil, making it the perfect hair care and hairstyling product all at once. So not only will it help strengthen your tresses against breakage, but it should help smooth and make your hair easier to style, too.

If you have dry hair

Tip: Try an oil treatment

There are many reasons for dry hair: over-styling, excessive heat, and internal and external dehydration are just a few of the usual suspects. To solve the problem, owners ought to introduce an oil treatment that you can use for your pre-shampooing routine. It can be used before hair-washing to help add moisture to your thirsty locks. However, if you have naturally dry hair not caused by damage but more of genetics, then gentle yet nourishing products might be more suitable.

If you have curly hair

Tip: Use a leave-in conditioner

Dryness and frizz probably top the hair enemy list for anyone with a curly hair. Because of the ‘S’ or ‘Z’ shape of curly hair, the scalp’s natural oils have more trouble travelling down the hair than for those with straight hair, which often equals in dryness and loss of curl definition. However, there are easy ways to rehydrate your curls and increase manageability. For example, instead of combing, which can lead to frizz and breakage, use a leave-in conditioner and rake through wet hair with your fingertips. You can also air-dry instead of using a blow dryer.

If you have thin or fine hair

Tip: Try reversing your hair washing routine

When you apply conditioner, are you applying it mostly to your scalp or just your tips? Making sure that you concentrate your conditioner application only to the lengths of your hair rather than your roots can make a big difference. And while this technique is one to note across the board for all hair types, it’s even more important for fine or thin-haired ladies. Because fine hair often has issues with retaining volume and lift at the roots, applying too much conditioner can weigh it down, or even irritate the scalp. But if you’re one of the many who still find the usual wash-out conditioners leaving behind heavy, greasy-feeling hair, perhaps it’s time to switch it up and apply your conditioner first? It may sound rather unconventional, but it could be a suitable hair care method for your hair type.

Healthy habits, healthy hair

08/05/2020 No Comments

Making sure your hair is as healthy as possible is about more than just which shampoo you use. A range of factors affect how shiny and strong your hair is. A lot of it has to do with how well you care for your hair. Once you start focusing more on maintaining its health, its length will come. Here are some healthy hair habits you should start adopting, which will ultimately help you reach any hair length goals you might have.

1. Feed your hair

Healthy hair starts from within. Protein is the building block of hair, because hair is keratinized protein. Another crucial nutrient is iron. It’s an energy source for the hair. In fact, studies have shown iron deficiency has been linkedto female patterned hair loss. Not saying you must become vegan, but you should include healthy fruits and veggies in your diet and drink a lot of water. If you’re someone who has a hard time with vegetables, blending up a fruit and veggie smoothie is an easy and tasty way to get your daily dose. This will give your hair follicles the nutrients needed to help your hair thrive.

2. Do not overheat your hair

As the saying goes, too much of a good thing can be bad for you. Too much heat too often can lead to damage, and eventually your hair won’t revert to its natural state. Too much or improper use of heat can also lead to dry, brittle hair, breakage and split ends. You can try using heat tools that have clear settings and use the low or medium settings at most. Alternatively, prepare your hair for heat styling at the cleansing and conditioning stage to make sure it is well hydrated.

3. Clean hair and scalp regularly

Hair needs a clean, healthy environment from which to grow. A dirty scalp full of buildup can clog pores and follicles and essentially slow down healthy growth. Also, if you’re constantly scratching your head due to dryness and itchiness, and drugstore shampoos aren’t helping, consult a doctor.

4. Deep condition your hair weekly

This is one healthy hair habit both dermatologists and hairstylists agree on: Incorporate a deep conditioner into your weekly hair care routine for extra hydration. Our hair needs help in the moisture department because of the shape of our hair. So, as the final step in your wash routine, follow up with a good deep conditioner to infuse moisture into the hair.

5. Get regular haircut

Some may find this counteractive to growth, but trimming your hair gets rid of broken and split ends that could lead to more damage. Nipping damage in the bud with a trim when necessary will keep the hair at its healthiest. Experts recommend a trim every six to eight weeks.

6. Wear protective styles

Tucking your hair away in styles that require little to no manipulation for a few days or a few months will help you retain length. You can also consider wearing hats when you go out. The sun oxidizes your hair and dries it out, so while a hat protects your face from the sun, it also protects your scalp from burning and hair from dehydrating. This is as good an excuse as any to treat yourself to a cute sun hat.

Once again, the health of your hair is more important than how long it is. Start focusing on improving its health and before you even realize it, the length will come!

Say goodbye to busy mornings!

06/01/2020 No Comments

It’s time to wake up, but your snooze button gets the better of you. An hour has passed and now you’re officially late! Sound familiar? On some mornings, getting ready is really just the last thing on your mind.

We all are busy. I mean, we don’t even have time to breathe these days. Much less for anything else. And when it comes to women, it’s a chaos because we always like to be presentable and hate shabby things. So, even on manic mornings, don’t settle for basic ponytails and unruly bed hair. Instead, you can achieve effortlessly stylish hair in no time with these handy hair hacks that we are going to share below.

1. Dry shampoo is your BFF

Dry shampoo is everything when it comes to busy mornings, especially when you’re due for a shampoo! Our tip is to use it the night before. Spray it along your roots and allow it to combat excess oil that is being produced overnight. This will minimise the likelihood of waking up with a greasy head. You can also DIY your own dry shampoo using baby powder. Make ahead and keep it on hand for emergencies!

2. Control that frizz with a toothbrush and hairspray

It does sound kind of strange, but it really works a treat! If you suffer from fiercely frizzy hair, what you can do is to simply spray an old (but clean) toothbrush with hairspray and brush it over those flyaway strands.

3. Braid your hair the night before

if you’re a fan of wavy or curly hair but do not have the time to commit to the curling iron in the morning, braid your hair the night before. This trick works particularly well on wet hair. Whether you do a French braid or multiple plaits, you’ll rise and shine to beautifully wavy locks. Finish this look off with some hair spray and scrunch your hair up to achieve beautiful bounciness. You can also learn a few braids in advance and try one next time when you’re in a rush.

4. Invest in a good brush

You should invest in a good brush, specifically one that is boar bristle. The time-honoured boar bristle brush will naturally condition your hair, improve your hair’s texture, reduce fizziness and save you money on purchasing unnecessary styling products.

5. Invest in a good hair dryer

Save time every morning by investing in a good hair dryer! No more time wasting due to the dryer suddenly shuts itself off to cool down. A good hair dryer helps to dry the hair within minutes, which will be great for those looking for a quick fix up before leaving the house. This is also a good opportunity to work some mousse into your hair and down to the roots. Flip your head upside down to get full coverage with the hair dryer.

6. Try a twisty bun

Worried that it’s time consuming? Well it’s not! You can create a twisty bun just under five minutes! Divide your hair into two low pigtails and then braid each pigtail. Wrap your braids together and secure them with bobby pins and spritz of hairspray at the back of your head.

7. Master a few simple hair styles

Whether your hair is long or short, experiment with a few go-to styles you can rely on whenever time is short. Styles like sleek ponies can disguise a hectic morning. For shorter cuts, look for a style that lets you air dry for a carefree tousled look.

8. Have some hair accessories on hand

It’s also a good idea to keep a few essential hair accessories on hand just in case you need any when you’re in a rush for a quick hair fix. For example, you can get a few cute hairbands, bobby pins which match your hair colour, and some elastic bands. Keep these in a bag or an accessories container, so that you don’t have to scramble to find them especially when you’re already in a rush for time.

You deserve to feel good about how you look, even when life gets hectic. Remember these hacks and you’ll leave the house looking and feeling your best in this new year ahead!

Look forward to great hair in 2020!

06/01/2020 No Comments

We’re in the first month of a new decade of the millennium! Setting New Year resolutions is always the best time to get back on track with some things you lacked the previous year. Everyone is looking for something new to do with the start of the new year.

If you are wondering what to do, create your own hair goals to help get you through this year and achieve the hair you’ve always desired and hoped for! Of course, if you don’t know how to get started, we have some tips to help you achieve your hair goals for 2020. These are common yet attainable hair goals and you can stick with them without much challenge.

1. New year, new hairstyle

Commit to making a change that will have lasting, uplifting benefits for the new year, and start the year off with a new hairstyle. Whether it’s letting go of some length you’ve been holding onto for years and switching up your look with a vibrant new colour, often a change in your hairstyle can lead to beneficial changes in other areas of your life as well. Just remember, change is a good thing!

2. No heat on your hair for the whole year

Sometimes excessive heat can be a torture to your hair, trying a year or six months to start without heat can give your hair the break it really needs. You can try these styles instead: roller sets, flexi rod sets and more! Try to look for more low heat styles to help get you through the time.

3. Get more regular haircuts

One of the most common mistakes made when it comes to hair care is not getting regular haircuts. This often results in split or dead ends that lead to dull, lifeless hair and an inability to obtain your desired growth. For this brand new year, how about motivating yourself to commit to getting more regular haircuts? You can look forward to having fresh hair year-round and able to grow your hair longer, as you’ve desired for so long. We recommend a haircut every two to four months, depending on how frequently you use hot tools. You can also get to know your hairstylist and stick with him/her, and pre-book at the end of each appointment to commit yourself to get regular haircuts.

4. Switch to professional products

Have you been using certain hair products for as long as you can remember, and suffering in terms of hair health as a result? Make a promise to yourself to switch over to using professional products for the duration of this new year, and never look back. A tip for making the switch: read about the products that we have here (link to http://orientalhairsolutions.com/our_products.html) and talk to our professional consultants about what products are best for you.

5. Wash/Damage Less

The more you wash your hair, the more you feel like you haveto wash your hair. Your scalp starts to become dry, which results in your roots producing more oil to moisturise the hair. And the more you wash, the more you damage your hair especially when you use a blow dryer and other hot tools. Remind yourself to wash less by putting yourself on a washing schedule, and keep track of how many times you wash your hair per week. You should aim for no more than two to three washes per week. Also, work in a thermal spray to help battle heat damage.

Accomplish your new year hair resolutions and bring those hair goals into reality more effectively with Oriental Hair Solutions’s hair treatment. You will be delighted to know that for just $8, you get to enjoy 1 session of Oriental Plant-Based Scalp Therapy, with hair growth ampoule and 1 Herbal hair shampoo (U.P. $438) this new year! This regime is a great new year starter to help get you to your hair growth goals, which are bound to bring you endless confidence and enjoyment. Book your appointment today!

5 Ways to Prevent Hair Fall

11/11/2019 No Comments

Most women don’t realize that hair fall is as common for women as it as for men. While it’s very natural (and normal!) to lose up to 100 strands of hair in a day, if you’re discovering sparsely-covered areas or finding more hair in your brush and comb than usual, something could be up.

Sometimes, it’s just age taking it’s toll. Other times, it’s genetics. It can also be how you treat your hair, or some combination of these factors. To prevent hair fall, you’ll have to start doing a few things to help your hair thrive. Read on to find out!

1. Don’t style your hair too tightly

When you pull your ponytail or braids too tight, you can damage the hairs in your hair line and cause hair loss. These tight styles put stress on the follicles which leads to loss and thinning. Use safe ways to tie up your hair with scrunchies or other soft materials that don’t pull on your strands and cause breakage too.

2. Turn down the heat

You might love the way your hair looks after you blow it out or flat-iron it, but you’re only making your hair brittle and prone to breakage. If you’re going to use your heat styling tools, make sure to keep the heat low and move it quickly so you’re not burning your hair. It helps to let hair air dry and then spray it with a heat-protecting spray before using your styling tools to get the look you want.

3. Take it easy with the chemicals

Chemical processing can do untold damage to your hair. Try to go with a color closer to your nature hue when coloring and take more breaks from those other chemical treatments too. These things make hair loss and thinning hair even worse.

4. Eat nutritiously

What you eat plays a vital role in how healthy your hair (and skin too) can be. Make sure you eat lots of leafy green vegetables, fish, lean meats, nuts, and beans to get zinc, iron, and vitamin B12 into your diet naturally. A good supplement will cover all your bases too.

5. Massage your scalp

One of the easiest ways to help prevent hair fall is to start pampering yourself a little more while in the shower. Simply massage your scalp gently after you apply your shampoo or conditioner. It boosts circulation to the scalp which will stimulate your hair growth. The key is to move fingers gently in a slow and circular motion.

Making an impression with beautiful hair this Christmas

10/12/2018 No Comments

Christmas is fast approaching, and with all the office parties and festive social events that are coming up, you’ll definitely want to be at the top of your hair game! Attending multiple parties in a short period can be daunting, but looking good to make a great impression doesn’t have to be. One of the most effortless ways to turn heads is to have a healthy luscious mane. Glamorous locks can gather attention like a diamond on display. Here are some great tips to help you look your very best for this Christmas.

1. Get waves quickly

No time to bother with a curling iron, but still want some waves? Then braid your hair in three-strand braids. Do it at least for four sections of your head, including sides and back. After braiding your sections, run your hands in water and dampen your braids a little, but not too wet such that they are drenched. Then, let them set for at least two to three minutes. After setting, unbraid your hair, finger comb it, and voila! You now have instant natural waves. For longer-lasting waves, put your hair in braids hours ahead of your party (if you can) and unbraid them before you head out.

2. Choose the side part

For an easy day-to-night transformation, you can switch up your look for an evening party by creating a deep side part to get a sleek and sexy look. Use a hairspray and pin your hair down to allow it to set and dry. This will come in handy if your hair initially resists falling where you want it to go.

3. Try a blow-drying trick

If you’re choosing to get a blowout or do your own before a party, the best way to make the blow dry last longer is by twisting your hair loosely as high as you can get it and fasten with large hairpins. Five large hairpins usually does the trick. This will help prevent any dents or marks in your blow out.

4. Rethink the way you wash your hair

Industry experts argue that less is more with regards to washing. Over-washing can be damaging for your hair, especially if it is bleached, coloured, has been chemically treated or is naturally very dry or porous. When you wash your hair every day, it strips away the natural oils and proteins that you need to keep the hair and scalp healthy, so try to limit hair washing to three times a week if you can. But it also depends on your hair type, so the best way is to consult your hairstylist on what’s most suitable for you.

5. Always use protection

Hair can be damaged by both UV and heated tools, such as straighteners, tongs and even your trusty hairdryer, so it’s crucial to give your hair as much protection as possible. When you dry your hair at home, always use a heat protector to condition from the inside out and shield against damage from straighteners and colour-zapping rays. When drying, also be sure not to hold the hairdryer too close to your hair to prevent split, fluffy ends.

6. Use the right tool for your hair

Your hair is just like your skin. Remember, what you put on it will affect it. Therefore, investing in good quality products and tools will keep hair looking and feeling healthy and strong. For example, you should have a round brush for blow-drying, a Mason Pearson brush for styling and a tail comb to move hair around a little. Good brushes are worth investing in. Though they may have a heftier price tag, they will last forever if well taken care of. You can keep your brushes clean and free from hair, oil and product build-up by washing them in a mixture of baking soda and warm water monthly.

Stop these common hair mistakes to prevent hair loss

23/08/2017 No Comments

Have you ever had a hair loss scare? All of us, at some point, start to fear that we might be losing too much hair. Though it is true that men are more likely to lose their hair than women, thinning hair and hair loss are also common in women, and no less demoralizing.

Every individual has the hair growing process, but the extent of the growth varies from one individual to another. There are different factors that are responsible for proper hair growth. For example, genes can also be a reason when someone in the family has more or less hair growth, while other external and environmental factors also contribute to it.

You might have unknowingly done certain things that damage your hair beyond repair. If you are making these mistakes, stop before it is too late.

1. Washing your hair the wrong way

Washing hair with warm water is a normal habit adopted by most of us, but what we did not realise is that hot water actually dries up the hair and scalp. On the other hand, using lukewarm water will help to open the cuticles and increase the effect of the shampoo to cleanse the hair. It is also advisable to rinse the hair in the end with cold water, as it will help to close the hair cuticle and help to lock the moisture. If you have coloured hair, you should avoid hot water completely because hot water will increase the chances of removing the colour faster.

2. Combing your hair when it is wet

If you often comb your hair immediately after washing them, stop now. You are actually tearing your hair from the scalp. Wet hair is prone to breakage because the pores in the scalp are wide at that time, which makes the scalp easily let go of the hair, leading to bunches of broken strands of hair. Hair must be left to dry naturally. Never style or tie wet hair. Comb the hair with a wide tooth comb only when they are completely dry.

3. Too much heat applied to your hair

Many women tend to use heat based hair tools like hair dryer, curling iron and the flat iron to style their hair. This heat tends to develop split ends and take away the natural colour of the hair. Drying your hair frequently with dryer can also cause irreparable damage to your hair. Therefore, keep the hair dryer away from your hair while drying, as much as possible. It is best to towel dry your hair gently or to keep your hair wrapped in a soft and clean towel for some time for drying it naturally.

4. Over-colouring your hair

Using hair colours might be the latest fashion trend but the colours are made of chemicals and hence are enemies of your hair. Over-colouring can also happen when you DIY and fail to pick the right shade. If you must colour your hair, the selection of the right colour must always be done by an expert or in a salon to get the right colour tone of the skin. If you can also keep your hair away from all kinds of hair sprays and styling creams or gels, your hair would thank you at the end of the day.

5. You avoid using hair conditioner

Most women neglect the process of condition after rinsing the hair. Conditioner must be applied immediately after the hair wash to prevent the hair from tangling and dullness. It is crucial to keep your hair moisturized with a good quality conditioner. Not using conditioner, especially when your hair is subjected to outside pollution every day, would not only make your hair extremely damaged but the shine and lustre would be gone too, within no time at all.

6. Over-combing your hair and with the wrong comb

It is necessary to comb your hair to remove tangles, but excess brushing can lead to split ends and eventually hair loss. When combing your hair, make sure the comb you use is of the appropriate size for your hair and combing should only be done when required. If you choose a comb with the wrong size, this can break your hair from the middle or root. This results in the discontinuation in your hair growing process.
