How Do You Take Care of your Hair?

I'm very lucky because I have the kind of hair I can trim myself. I hardly have any grey, and I blonde streak it myself too. Every now and then I have it done professionally, but to be honest, I think it looks better when I do it myself! I also cut my daughter's hair, but I wouldn't touch my husband's. Some hair is easy to trim, but his would look awful if it wasn't done professionally.

I haven't gone to saloon for hair trimming,it's quite expensive there.I have my hair cut to whatever style i want through a friend who knows how to snap my hair here and around.Aside from the daily routine of shampooing....every other day i use conditioner.If i have so much time pampering my hair, i do twice a week of of either hot oil or conditioning with the use of treatment wax.I have not tried the relax and rebonding thing as i can see some who had done it and it don't look good.

I too used to go to the salon all the time to have it colored,
cut etc. Now I color it myself. I haven't gone for a cut in
a long time. I have been doing that myself. Don't ask!
I let it grow in and have been trimming it myself. My friends
told me to let it grow. What was I thinking. I have very
curly, thin fine hair and frizzy. I can't do anything with it.
I will be going to get it cut as soon as I can decide what
I want to do with it again. Since it's summer I wear it up
so for now I just do that.

I have an excellant hair consultant Mr. Takagawasan in Tokyo. He takes care of my hair more than I do twice in every month. Really I am not getting much time to dye my hair. I want to do it myself, but some how getting postponed. Yesterday one ramyashreek reminded me about this through a discussion here in myLot.

(One personal suggestion: consider change your avatar photo - it really distracts people. If it is your real face make it full. the eyes and lips combination is not at all good to attract people with the size of the photo.)

I was the one to always go to the salon and have them cut and dye it for me for I knew not a thing on this kind of thing to be able to do it myself and was to scared to that I would mess it up and not be able to fix it. I had to stop going for it got to be to expensive. I one day had a friend come over and she did it for me then said "I want to to watch how I do this and your goin to do it the next time I come over with my super vision". A few weeks went by and sure enough she had to come back and now it was my turn to do it myself with her watching. I had remembered how she did the coloring for it was done in the bathroom infront of my big mirror I have. I was scared as I put the dye all in and let it set. I combed it through dragging the rest of the color down through and applied the rest of the color that was in the bottle and waited longer.
It came time to wash it out and apply the conditioner I did just that waited and washed that out. She then handed me the scissors and said I want you to flip your head upside down so all your hair falls forward. I did just that she then went on to say I want you to grab onto your hair pulling your hair all the way down to the end and cut the end of it and make sure it's even when you do this. I did just that and cut it to the shortness I wanted it she had me do the same for my bangs. I let it dry and had a look I was amazed on how good I had done. She then told me that I could do this on my own from now on now that I had shown her I was capeable of doing it. So now I do it with confidence at home and it's alot cheaper.

Now i have short hair,and i went to the barber's several weeks ago because i want to change my hairstyle.Short hair is very convenient in summer,it is easy to wash and fast to dry.When i had long hair,i just wash them every two days and bond them.

Once upon a time that was years back when I was in college i remember how everyone used to rave about my hair.I had lovely long black hair,very straight and silky.I used to take a lot of care.I would massage my scalp with warm oil apply egg white and leave it before shampooing it.I would condition it with black tea.I would make a paste of hibiscus leaves and use this hair pack.It used to be so good.All that has gone now i go to the salon to get my hair cut, I just made it short for convenience sake.my hair has dropped a lot.I do the coloring myself once in say 6 months.I just brush my hair well everyday and that's it. No extra care like I used to do earlier.

i go to salons quarterly or if my hair needs some cellopane or hot oil... and needs a new nice hairdo=) afterwards on daily maintenance is shampoo and conditioner.=) shampoo i choose the mild ones=)

I trim my hair myself. It saves me the money that it costs to go have it done some where.

I don't go to the salon very often. Unless its a special occasion. I don't trim my hair as often as I should due to the fact that I am trying to grown it. Every time I go to the salon they cut more that I would like them to and then I leave very disappointed. I don't color my hair . I just like to get it blow dried when I go to the salon. Also these days thne salons are so expensive. For a simple trip they charge an arm and a leg. So I kind of think twice before I go.
