Be Careful When Changing The Tone Of Your Blonde.

During your time with blonde hair. You have to be very careful when changing the tone or making it lighter.  Water especially in the Orlando area has a lot of chemicals in it. AND WILL ADD A YELLOWING TO YOU LOVELY BLONDE HAIR COLOR.

When changing your tone of blonde or going lighter remember blonde hair is the most fragile to work with. You have pretty much taken out a lot of the melanin in the hair shaft. And the shaft itself can become very weak and dry and brittle.

That is why it is good not to over wash the hair, especially with alkaline hair care products. Alkaline hair care products will swell up the cuticle of the hair and give you huge frizzy hair. And what will happen is you will end up using a lot of hair care products to just tame it down. And make it manageable.

Highlighting the hair over and over will cause dryness and breakage to the hair. You will loose tinsel strength and just unruly hair to work with. If you are at that period it is best to just cut it off. Here are some tips for you blonde hair and hair care advice.

  • Don’t wash you hair everyday. You can use condition on the shaft and ends of the hair and that will make it clean. And did you know conditions are just low grade shampoos.
  • Use a wide tooth comb to comb out the tangles and to apply treatments to the hair. A lot of people will use brushes on the hair to comb it out. DON’T. ESPECIALLY WITH BLONDE HAIR. THAT IS A NO-NO.
  • I highly recommend the Shea Moisture hair care line.

Towel dry the hair before placing any hair care products on. If there is too much moisture (water) in the hair it will dilute the hair care product. I will hope this has brought you some good advice.

Virgin Coconut Oil

A lot of times during the summer we all shower all the time being in Florida. And soap products can leave a film on your skin especially your feet, elbows and back. Soap cleaners are very strong and also leave films in the shower. So if it is leaving a film in the shower then it is leaving a film all over your body. That is why it is good to just use water to cleanse your body and leave shampoo’s to just your hair. Just taking a shower in water will alleviate any film let in the shower or your body.

When you are complete, finish with some real good Coconut oil for your hands, feet and all over. This is a lovely moisturizer for the skin and also in the hair. If you have chemically treated hair then the natural oils from the coconut will smooth out any and all fly aways you have when you are blow drying the hair. Just apply a little with your styling lotion make sure to mix the two ingredients well and not separately. Comb through and begin your blow dry.  Or if you go to the beach add some to wet hair and comb through and you will protect your color treated hair. Plus it will add moisture to it from the warmth of the sunshine.

I recommend Shea Moisture Daily Glow for all over the skin. A lot of models have known of using the coconut oils for their skin to keep it looking smooth and not a dry look. That is important for camera, especially for summer time photo-shoots.

I like to use this product for photo-shoots especially for the summer beach shoots. It give the skin a soft highlight. Smooth a small amount in circular motions over face and neck after cleansing. Skin feels softer with a healthy-looking glow. Wear alone or under makeup.  And you can see the glow from within upon application, no highlighter needed! I love the smell and texture, and it worked great for keeping foundation on all day. This product will dry smooth and not leave a oily feeling to your skin.
