When you wake up in the morning and the mirror does not only reveal your tired face but also your hair that has decided once again to maintain its own direction. The characteristics of your hair will determine how easily you can comb it, how often you have to wash it and the special care products you may need.

Your hair, as well as the frame of a picture, will frame your face and emphasize your features. To find out and to identify their characteristics and then to search for the hairstyle that suits you most, will help you to feel good and to underline your beauty.

In order to help you in taking care of your hair and emphasizing its natural characteristics or change them with dyes or perms, I will give you some advises that will allow you to keep your hair in good condition.

For this reason I have formulated the questions that I have been asked most and to which I will give you the respective answer.

For hygienic as well as for aesthetic reasons, your hair needs care taking from the day the day you are born.

This diagnosis doesn't concern the hair but the scalp that can be greasy, dry or normal.

The normal scalp is one that doesn't show dandruffs, too much grease, neither spots nor scars.

The dry scalp is characterized by dry, dull and matt hair, often showing spots and sometimes also dandruffs.

Greasy hair you can recognize by greasy strands, a greasy scalp and dandruffs.

Through your physical characteristics that, as I have said before, are directly related to the condition of the scalp.

Greasy hair is likely to get greasy fast again after it has been washed, due to the overproduction of grease by the sebaceous glands. Since this type of hair easily absorbs dirty particles of the environment, it needs to be washed every two to four days.

Dry hair is rough and dull, a consequence of the low production of grease on the scalp. Other reasons for dry hair are perms, hair dyes and frequent exposure to heat.

Normal hair is easily to recognize because it is healthy, shiny and silky.

If you have greasy hair it is recommendable to reduce the fat in your diet and to eat more fruits and vegetables. Use lukewarm water for washing it but do not massage your scalp with the shampoo in order to prevent that the glands produce more grease.

If you have dry hair, a regular brush will help to spread the grease your scalp produces and avoid dryness. For washing your hair, use lukewarm water and a shampoo that is based on oil.

For normal hair you could for a change use an herbal shampoo that will make your hair look shiny, silky and facilitate its handling because of the natural cleaning substances these shampoos normally consist of.

There are excellent products on the market and besides, skin products can be used for the hair, too.

Everything natural is good for your hair, like Aloe Vera or prickly pears for instance. Gel is produced from both of these plants for such cosmetic purposes.

Yes, but the best thing to do is asking a hair stylist for the product most proper for your type of hair.

If your hair is seriously damaged you may use it once a week, later twice a months and so on. I also recommend keeping changing the products.

Not to confuse - the hair doesn't need the restorer but the scalp does in order to activate the glands and achieve a better blood circulation.

There are different products for the different types of hair.

The hair grows approximately 1 or 2cm in one month; the average is therefore 15cm in one year but this, of course, goes only for a healthy person.

No. That depends on the age and on other aspects like health plus the physical and mental state of a person. Pregnancy can also slow down the growth of hair.

You need to take care of it, using products that are neutral, biodegradable and non-toxic and above all, you should attach importance to healthy food.

I advise to consult a hair stylist that will recommend the most adequate product.

Yes, you can, but you need to know which tone to apply and whether you want to cover or maintain the highlights. It's best to consult a hair stylist.

Yes, if you use a very dark colour they will disappear.

A technically well done application will produce an excellent colour.

Any hair dye product should be tested on tolerance and possible allergic reactions before applying it. The test will tell you if you can go ahead and use the product or if you need to change it. It is also possible that you do not tolerate hair dyes in general. Remember that the actual pollution has caused many unknown allergies.

Generally all the dyes are qualitatively good ones but some people tolerate certain products better than others. The colours are universal.

Hair dyes are scientifically well developed products and unless you don't use them in excess they won't do any damage.

The hair dye itself didn't cause any harm, the bad application did but there are qualitatively excellent products that will help your hair to recover, to regain vitality and improve its condition.

Because you need to consider the current basic tone of your hair in order to get the colour you want. For this it is best to ask a hair stylist because he/she has studied this subject.

That could be due to the insufficient time of exposure, the wrong mixing ratio or because the hair dye has been damaged.

Yes, for example to adjust them to the tone of the dyed hair or to cover grey hair but all this depends on individual taste and style.

Averagely about 20 or more.

In this case you should consult a dermatologist.

Since they have less ammonia, the colour shampoos are a softer way of dying the hair. It is said that they don't change the hair colour but only accentuate the previous tone and make it shinier.

Yes, but the result won't be as intended or expected.

You will achieve a well-rounded picture by adjusting your haircut to the form of your neck, the eyebrows and the shape of your face. For instance, having a round shaped face, you should part your hair according to the centre of your eyebrows, add volume, keep short sideboards and the neck naturally shaved in a tapering way and you will have a favourable effect. If your face is thin your sideboards should go as far as half of your ear and with the parting at the side and your neck fairly covered you will feel very well. If your face is oval shaped, the cut that will suit you very well is to have the hair loose, the parting and style arranged in a casual and informal way.

Both solutions will do.

In order to keep a nice overall picture, you should regularly cut your hair every three weeks but basically this depends on the health, aesthetics, hygiene or practical reasons you do it for.

In accordance with the growth of hair, more or less every three weeks.

A proper diagnosis together with the consideration of your taste will be able to tell you.

It is not dangerous as long as it is done by an expert.

As often as you like but always consider the condition of your hair.

Yes, nutrition has a noticeable influence, especially on the scalp that is responsible for the growth of hair.

Various cultures have indeed historically proved that the phases of the moon do have an effect on the hair.

Yes, they do with regard to the haircut and way of combing it.

I recommend consulting a hair stylist that will determine the type of hair you have. Most products have instructions that will also give you some orientation about the use.

That depends on individual features.

No, they definitely do not have an effect on the growth of hair.

Various: soft big curls or small ringlet curls among many others.

In accordance to your personal taste and style. Your hairstylist will be able to tell you what suits you best, which style you will feel comfortable with and how you emphasize your beauty.

Natural curls in the hair tips, soft wavy curls.

The innate ones.

Yes or no, that depends on the picture you want to get. Cutting the hair beforehand will facilitate the application of the product.

It is possible. And as it is with everything: to achieve a good result you have to have a good attitude.

By applying moisturizers and hair balm to the points. It is also advisable to wash the hair 48 hours after the perm, to apply hair restorers after 8 days and repeating them periodically. Besides it is best to use a broad toothed comb and combing the hair while it is still wet.

This depends on the individual practical and aesthetic needs.

There is nothing to say against it.

You should do a hair diagnosis and then apply an adequate product.

In days gone by one washed his hair once a week and to make it more manageable they used urine. Today you can wash your hair daily with a proper shampoo.

Yes, if shampoo is used excessively and if the hair is washed with very hot water. If you usually wash your hair while showering, apply a small amount of shampoo and rinse your hair with cold water afterwards.

Yes, if the hairdryer isn't used correctly and the hair is exposed to constant heat.

In general the products fulfil their function in harmony to the hair needs.

For any special occasion like a ball, a cocktail party or festive night.

There are a lot of diseases that can affect the hair and the one that is able to reply to any syndrome is the dermatologist.

The most common infections are, for example: dandruffs, psoriasis, sebaceous cysts, wens, warts, baldness, scabs and scars.

There are still other types of inflammations that are known as reddening, swelling and pain that occur on the scalp. Some of them are the rashes or hives caused by a bacterial infection of the hair follicles and the boils and abscesses that are profound infections in the scalp and that appear like small lumps on the neck.

There are also diseases that are caused by fungus. They occur in demarcated sections of the scalp, together with round spots, different degrees of dandruffs and strands covered with grayish spores that are characteristic for fungus.

Seborrhea is one of the most common infections that the scalp shows and that is closely linked to the baldness. It starts with dry dandruffs at the age of 12, up to the age of 17 the dandruffs turn greasy and the flakes remain adherent on the scalp. That is when we talk about saborrhea - characterized by greasy and shiny hair that would leave greasy spots if one pressed a piece of paper on the head.

Lice, nits and many more.

There are products of different brands and costs and generally they are all effective. Nevertheless you should thoroughly clean the rooms at your home, wash all your clothes or rather do a boil wash.

As they have been chemically tested, definitely not.

Brushes with natural bristles and wide toothed and well rounded combs won't damage the hair structure.

It is better to untangle it with a wide toothed comb or a brush especially made for that.
