Bad hair days can simply play havoc in your life and you may get stressed maintaining your long hair! However, here are some of the ways to de-stress and give a breath of life to your tresses…

 

The most common problem that we face maintaining long hair is that during the monsoon because of humidity, the scalp gets sticky and matted. Weak hair breaks faster, hair gets tangled and drying hair takes forever! Moreover, incase people like me are living in a city like Mumbai which has high pollution levels, the rain water gets mixed with the chemicals and that enters your scalp, weakening your hair further. Hence, in such situations, you have to help yourself and take special care for that beautiful hair. One of the ways to take care of your hair is to eat right which means that you need to eat a lot of vegetables. For dinner, here is what you can do: Boil all these vegetables: capcisum, baby corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, cauliflower etc and add jeera powder, salt, pepper and some chilli powder and have this for dinner. You will feel light and at the same time it will be great for your hair.

 

What you can also need to take care is see to it that you are not constipated. This is because constipation causes retention and re-absorption of toxins to create frizzy hair. Use a leave-in conditioner and oil your hair regularly to protect your hair from the external factors that can cause damage to them.

curly-updosBe it a formal dinner or a casual coffee catch-up with friends, the fact that you have medium length hair means that you can do a lot of experiment with various hair styles and hair dos. Medium length hairstyles are long enough to tie back into updos and they can look gorgeous and splendid!

There is no denying that long hair updos are far fancier but with the help of hair extensions and new styles of hair updos available, there is absolutely no need to worry! A simple updo with a parted bang can highlight your facial features quite well. So with this style you can flaunt your beautiful eyes and kissable lips!

For any updo, first, all the hair is back-combed, brushed smoothly and pinned high on the head. The bangs are styled into place and all the short strands of hair are put in place with the help of a hair spray. In case of curls, some may be pinned into place while others fall naturally that go along with the style chosen. While doing up a style, let some of the soft curls or wavy stands of hair fall gracefully at the neckline. Curls are moved and replaced until the overall effect is achieved. Medium length hairdos are sophisticated and quite feminine.

Another hair do that one can perhaps try at home is to tie a tight ponytail that is anchored at the top of the head with hair sculpted to fan out above the head.  You can also wear a bang along with this style especially if you have short layers on the front.

Maintaining hair in this fast paced life is indeed becomes a big task. Most of us consider our hair stylist as our opinion leader when it comes to selecting the right hair products like shampoos, conditioners and oils for keeping our hair in good condition. It is said that in matters of hair products, one should stick to the product that one has been using continuously rather than switch products. So the best option is to try sachets and see for yourself which is the product that best suits your hair and then be brand loyal to that one.

So apart from the shampoos and the conditioners that most of us use, what are other kinds of hair products that can be used to maintain the condition of your hair? You could use hair gels and leave on conditioners to soften your hair stands or hair curls.

For smoothing your hair, you can also use hair sprays onto your hairbrush or comb, or try rubbing a dab of anti frizz mousse onto your hands or onto the bristles of a roller hairbrush. This can help to settle the strands of hair that pop out especially if you have a layered or a step cut style. The roller brush method works especially well on medium layered hair.

You can also check out the chemists and look over the hair product ranges afresh.  A lot of hair colour and other new styling products have been introduced in the market.  Coloured gels and products from copper to silver are in vogue especially if you are heading for a party.  For hair gloss and sheen try hair sprays that are specially composed to suit the need of a particular type of hair.

Coloring
Highlighting
Perming
Straightening

All-in-all and treatment using chemicals may create a new style, but at the same time it does cause unavoidable damage, to a certain degree. And one needs to consult a hair specialist to ensure that one can control the damage and maintain the same beauty and life-look of the hair, no matter what length, style and cut.

Maintaining medium length hair is rather simple in comparison to long hair, but needs more care than the shorter styles. Usually, women’s medium hairstyles include mid-forehead bangs, as well as bangs swept to the side. In fact, the medium length styles enhance facial features that are generally ignored, otherwise. And this length works best with those with a broad forehead.

While straight and fine hair does not require much maintenance, it is the medium curly hairstyles that require all the more care.
