1 – To start with get a cool and happening hair cut. A good cut speaks for itself. With a great defined cut you can wear it in different styles and maintain it yourself which will result in fewer costly trips to the salon.
2 – Always budget for those costly trips to the hair salon. In certain hair salons clientele can go on a payment plan to pay later when they can better afford it. Ask at your local salon if they allow this.
4 – For great looking hair at special events and parties why not try opting for hair extensions, ponytails or a bun to add more depth and thickness to your hair. Always make sure that the shade matches your hair perfectly. Have a look at Dorothy Perkins they now offer silky straight extensions in a range of colours.
5 – Try to go for styles that are low maintenance. You can create new styles by yourself such as scrunching your hair and creating waves. Use gel on the sides of your hair and then scrunch the top to create a new wave / retro eighties look.
6 – Try doing a hot oil treatment at home. It is easier than it sounds, to start with shampoo you hair with the hottest water you can. Stand rinse the hair, apply the oil treatment and wear a heating cap for 10 minutes. Be absolutely sure to rinse all the oil from you hair otherwise it will leave a residue on the scalp.
7 – Make sure you maintain the moisture of you hair and scalp. If your hair gets dry, brittle and you have split ends it may be a sign of a dry scalp and hair. To combat this, get over to a salon but if you can’t make it to the salon wash it once a week with an expensive moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
8 – Be consistent with the brand of hair products that you purchase. Do not mix brands as the differing chemicals used in the different brands may have adverse side effects on your hair. Always stick with the same brand of shampoo and conditioner and any other hair products you may use. Try Natural Mango and Ginger cleaning and balancing 2 for 1 shampoo and conditioner from Avon.
9 – Accessorize with expertly positioned items such as a bobby pin adorned with rhinestones or costume jewelry. It can add the fun factor or create a stunning hair statement. Go experiment.
10 – The following tip is only for the brave! Why not try seeking out a student research cosmology school since they would be cheaper than going to a regular salon. Only try this if you have hair-surance! Get it I combined hair and insurance to create hair-surance! Haha!
