Sunday Edit | The 9 Worst Things You Can Do for Your Hair

November 29, 2022 by Ambrosia Hitchcock Leave a Comment

Since the dawn of time, hair has been considered a staple of good health, beauty, and overall wellness, so it’s no surprise if you’re feeling a little lackluster when you’re having a bad hair day, week, month, or year. Hair drapes our faces and is something that we inevitably have to deal with in some way, shape, or form every day. It can also be something that we take great pride in, not to mention put a lot of effort towards, so it’s no surprise if you’re spending hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars each year on hair care and maintenance. 

Even though hair is technically dead skin cells (yep!), it still can and should be taken care of and maintained. Think of the scalp as an extension of the face — it’s where the living part of the hair is. For this reason, scalp care is paramount, and recommends daily scalp cleansing (shampooing) to remove dirt, sebum, and mineral buildup — something very few of us actually do. Additionally, ultraviolet (UV), or sun, protection of the scalp, especially for those with thinning hair (both men and women) is important.

Unfortunately, many of the day-to-day habits that are incorporated into our lifestyle can sabotage the health of our hair. This can not only make it more challenging to actually achieve the results that we’re looking for, but also cause serious damage to your hair along the way. Read on for some of the worst things that people do to their hair — and what is recommended instead.

Glam | If You Have Fine Hair, This Could Be The Haircut For You

November 28, 2022 by Ambrosia Hitchcock Leave a Comment

One of the hallmarks of having fine hair is a lack of volume. ‘Fine hair’ is defined as hair with a small diameter. Fine hair simply means that the hair strand itself is small, meaning that it can lack the appearance of volume and thickness. That is why choosing the right haircut to suit fine hair is essential if you want to create volume and bounce.

While it is true that one can choose any hairstyle they want, there are certain haircuts that will emphasize a lack of volume and thickness. If that is not your goal, then experts will recommend styles that will either hide these features, or create looks that can create an illusion of thickness and bounce.

Regardless, these newest haircut trends are the perfect place to look for inspiration if you want to turn your fine hair into a voluminous look you’ll love!
