Hair Straightening Tips you must-know’s from reliable Cairns Hairdressers

Hair-straightening techniques have never been better. Our Cairns hairdressers share that women with curly or wavy hair now have choices in which hair-straightening technique to use and the used-to-be naturally unruly hair can now be transformed into straight and lustrous. We all know that Demi Moore didn’t have that long straight hair in the 80’s and there is absolutely no way that she is just born with it.

The most common and readily available hair-straightening technique is to use handheld hair irons. This is especially popular for people who refuse to expose their hair to hair-straightening chemicals. As a rule of thumb though, anything hot that is placed in contact with your hair is potentially harmful and utmost care must given to your hair to protect it. Cairns hairdressers advise to apply ceramic hair oil unto hair before using hair irons to provide some protection. It is always advisable to buy high-end branded hair irons that have more and precise temperature settings as this will enable the user to have more control of the temperature.  One notable advancement in hair irons is the use of ceramic plates or Tourmaline that are supposed to produce infra red radiation when in high temperatures and the effect is hair moisture lockage  and effective damage protection. When shopping for a new hair iron, it is also best to search online for product reviews first.

For women that desire a more permanent hair-straightening treatment, our Cairns hairdressers share that there are 2 effective techniques that are widely being used: Hair Relaxing and Hair Rebonding or Thermal Conditioning or as it is most popularly known these days – Japanese Hair Straightening. Both techniques require a trained hair professional as each individual requires a different hair treatment plan.

Hair Relaxing uses chemicals similar to perming lotions. This treatment is not to be done for recently colored hair and must at least have a 3-month gap between hair relaxing and hair coloring.

According to our Cairns hairdressers, Japanese hair-straightening currently is the most popular and the priciest as well. Most hairdressers charge on a per-hour basis and the procedure usually takes 6-8 hours, depending on hair thickness and volume. This procedure definitely gives a complete transformation. Dull wavy hair transformed to super straight lustrous hair that literally reflects the sunlight. Currently, there are 2 major Japanese Hair Straightening methods employed by Cairns hairdressers  – Yuko and Liscio. Both are made in Japan and the hairdresser that will perform the procedure must be trained in manipulating the products to produce the best results possible for every each hair type. These products are not exactly one-size-fits-all. A hair stylist experienced with Japanese hair straightening should be able to give a detailed list of pros and cons of this method. Proper maintenance and suggested hair care products must also be put into consideration before deciding to go for a Japanese hair straightening.



Hair coloring facts – straight from Cairns Hairdressers

Hair color is one of the least invasive physical alteration to what has been genetically given to us. We may have always wondered if Madonna, with all her talent, could have been that successful if she were not blonde after all. Our Cairns hairdressers agree that for every makeover, hair color presents the most dramatic effect of all. It is the icing on your cake or the diamond on your ring.

Our Cairns hairdressers gave us a few useful must-know’s on hair-coloring. The procedure may be simple but proper background information can be worth a fortune, especially for first-timers.

With the current economic crisis, we are always looking for ways to save some money. For hair coloring first-timers, it is ideal to have it done by a professional first than experiment on a do-it-at-home kit. If you are satisfied with your new hair color, do not be ashamed to ask your hairdresser if there is a hair-dye brand that he can suggest.

When looking for hair-dye home kits in the supermarket, we must always carefully scrutinize if the packaging was new. For the L’Oreal brand, they have a PAO (Period After Opening Date) on the box and a manufacturing date on the bottle. The standard shelf life is 3 years but we still want to look for a hair-dye box that has only been delivered a few months ago. For at-home hair coloring, our Cairns hairdressers suggest that we only use colors that are within 2 color shades from our natural hair color. For anything bolder, it is wise to consult a hair professional if it will be the first time. One more thing to note is to be careful on choosing a red shade. Red hair may look fantastic on Dr. Addison Shepherd of Grey’s Anatomy  but it is important to note that this shade is also the fastest color to fade and the most persistent color to get out as its reddish tone keeps on popping up even if you have already dyed your hair anew. In cases where in home hair coloring is not so successful or to some extent has been a complete disaster, our Cairns hairdressers insist that this is already a job for hair professionals and attempting to fix it might just worsen the problem. Fixing a hair color is a complicated process that includes careful criticism of which tones are incorrect and which color can neutralize it.

There is also that spur-of-the-moment hair color decisions at home because of, say, a party later that night , only to find yourself late and frustrated of the hair color stain on your skin that is just so hard to wash out. Our Cairns hair experts suggest trying to carefully massage the stain out using a nail color remover, oil, shaving cream or shampoo.

Lastly, salon-brand shampoos that offer protection for colored hair may be a little over the budget but all Cairns hair experts agree that they are definitely worth the buck.

Easy-to-do beauty tips straight from Cairns Hairdressers

Surely we have already heard of dozens of beauty tips but our Cairns hair experts are insisting that we still need to focus on the basics. You may have already bought a basket of the most expensive brands of haircare treatments but not knowing the fundamentals is a big no-no.

For starters, we must never brush wet hair. Wet hair snaps more easily than dry hair. The best way to handle wet hair is to use either a wide-tooth comb or just run your fingers thru it while it is being blown dry, preferably using cold air if the purpose is just to dry it. Generally speaking, Cairns hairdressers do admit that anything hot that’s used on hair, no matter how fabulous the results are, are not exactly good and might even be damaging to hair. Also, do not forget to not completely dry your hair and make sure to leave a little moisture on it. Lucky for us, we now have conditioners that have U.V. protectors and thermal protectors. Find the brand that you are most comfortable with and never leave home without it. Brushing or at least untangling your hair before taking a shower will also do wonders.

According to Cairns hairdressers, the number one hair complaint is still hair dryness. Hair dryness leads to a network of other hair problems and one of which would be split ends.  In the olden days, women even burn their own split ends. Nowadays, we have a lot of modern split ends remedies but the ideal solution is still to chop it off. Every Cairns hairdresser agrees that dry hair is simply the opposite of lustrous and fabulous and thus insist that we go back to the basics. How basic are we talking about here? Eating protein-rich foods is a scientifically accepted hair care method. We really are what we eat. However, we would need the kind that comes from leafy vegetables and nuts. We can also try the supplements that claim to boost hair, skin and nails. Beautiful radiating from the inside still always stands out.

If we have dry hair problems, we also have greasy hair problems. Our Cairns hairdressers explain that people always blame oily scalp for producing oily hair when in fact, having a scalp that is dry induces oil glands in the hair to produce more oil and this is apparent in people with oily hair. Having known this, the solution basically is to remedy the dry scalp so don’t raise your eyebrows when you go to a salon complaining of oily hair and your hairdresser offers a hot oil treatment. It is indeed on of the best treatments for oily hair but the treatment must be emphasized on the scalp. The same goes for using a conditioner where in it is ideal to use conditioner only on the scalp area and on the tips to avoid split ends. During the day, brushing, combing or any further stimulation to the scalp would encourage more oil production. While washing oily hair, shampoo concentration must not be on the scalp as it would dry the scalp even more. Diligent rinsing of the hair is also a must because soap residue would surely make oily hair a notch oilier.
