Advice for Fine Hair

Having fine hair myself I understand the importance of good advice as the slightest change can make all the difference. Humidity, sticky blow-dry lotions and windy days are our enemies! In this article I have put together some tips so that others with fine hair can help combat those 'bad hair days'.

Something else to consider is that hair changes as you get older and fine hair may become more coarse or even more fine, so you'll need to modify the products you use. Overall, the real tip is that there are a number of products that will work well for fine hair generally, but you really have to try them out.

First we need to understand the two types of fine hair, coloured and uncoloured as each needs different advice.

Try - KMS California products are really good for uncoloured hair, whilst Prive are great with coloured hair. MoroccanOil products are great for all hair types.

Shampooing

Some shampoos are specially designed to give volume to fine hair. They do this by roughening the outside layer which is usually great if your hair is uncoloured. If your hair is coloured, using volume shampoos can sometimes make your hair feel matted and possibly harder to dry. If this happens, it doesn't mean that the shampoo is bad, it just might not right for you.

So the rule of thumb is, find a shampoo that is specifically designed to suit your hair type, try it, and if it works, you've found the right one for you. It's also fine to wash your hair every day so long as the shampoo is mild.

Depending on your hair, it can sometimes be worth using a really good treatment shampoo that will strengthen and shine your hair and not using a conditioner at all. Let the shampoo have at least two weeks to work.

Try - KMS Add Volume Shampoo if you have uncoloured hair or Prive Concept Vert Rejuvenating Shampoo for coloured locks. You could also try MoroccanOil Extra Volume Shampoo

Conditioning

Conditioners work by healing the hair inside and leaving a film on the surface to help you comb through. It is this film that can weigh your hair down especially if you have slightly oily roots. My advice would be to just use the conditioner where it's needed which is on the mid-lengths and ends.

Always use a light-weight conditioner. There are some that you can even spray and leave in like KMS California Silk Sheen Leave In Conditioner.

If you have oily roots then try turning the water to a cooler setting on the final rinse. This encourages the scalp to produce less oils.

Try- KMS Add Volume Conditioner for uncoloured hair or Prive Concept Vert Rejuvenating Conditioner for coloured. The MoroccanOil Extra Volume Conditioner is formulated specifically not to weigh hair down so is perfect for fine hair.

Styling

The most important thing to remember is that all volume and direction come from the root so make sure you get your styling product in at the root - not just the mid-lengths and ends. Then concentrate on blow-drying the roots lifting them as much as possible.

Try - MoroccanOil Light Treatment which is specially formulated for fine hair, especially if it's dry or damaged.

Top Tip -just like your hair, your scalp gets wet when you shampoo. This moisture takes a little longer to appear, and evaporates from the scalp about 20 minutes after you've finished your blow-dry. It does its best to lose all the volume you have just worked so hard to create! The solution to that is quite easy. Simply blow-dry as you would normally but before you do the finishing touches, wait ten minutes then go back and gently blast the root area with your dryer on half heat to chase off any moisture that has appeared. Now finish as normal.

Finishing

There are some really good products out there that double up as finishing aid as well as keeping the volume in. Again the trick is to make sure they go into the root area and avoid anything that is too heavy or oily - except MoroccanOil which is the exception to the rule.

Try- Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray

Glamour Modelling - Facts and Advice

Glamour modelling generally means topless or even nude modelling for men's magazines and occasional national newspapers.

Page Three modelling doesn't have the best reputation as high art, but there's no reason glamour modelling always has to be tacky or derogatory. There are many opportunities for classy shoots which are partially revealing, and even the most high earning, well respected actresses and singers sometimes get their kit off for a magazine editorial!

However, if you're considering trying to break into glamour modelling, you must be even more vigilant and on the look out for dodgy characters and dangerous situations. The modelling industry in general is a popular target for scam artists and criminals, preying on the dreams of young girls and boys - and glamour modelling is even more attractive to men who want to take advantage of unsavvy teenagers.

So if you want to be a glamour model, the first thing to do is wise-up and make sure you're always alert and assessing any offers you get to ensure they are genuine. You should avoid going to castings and jobs alone, and if something smells bad, don't wait until it's too late.

Okay - warnings out of the way. What's the next most important thing for an aspiring glamour model to keep in mind? The question to ask yourself is - do you really have the right kind of personality to do topless or nude modelling.

It might sound like an attractive idea, an easy way to make a quick buck, from the comfort and privacy of your own home, but to do this kind of work you need to have a very strong personality, a thick skin and be willing to do things that would make most people very uncomfortable - i.e. stripping off in front of complete strangers.

Think hard about whether you really have the cahoonas for it.

The next thing to consider is whether you've thought about the long term consequences of having potentially sensitive pictures in the public domain for the rest of your life (and longer!). If, later in life, you decide you want a change of career, how is that going to be affected by the fact that if you potential new boss Googles your name after an interview, they are faced with hundreds of pictures of you in compromising positions?

Once the pictures are sold, you have no rights or control over where they're used, and they could be reprinted over and over again.

So, in summary, if you're considering getting into glamour modelling think hard about:

if you're streetwise enough to not get into sticky situationsif you're bold enough to pose naked in front of strangersif you're not going to regret having everything exposed in later years

If you're sure you've got all that covered, then you might well be suited to glamour modelling.
