Best Alcohol Free Hair Products for Hair

If your hair is stiff and crunches when you touch it then it is time to take a good look at the ingredients that are in your hair products. If alcohol is listed as the first or second ingredient then it is time to find some new hair care products. Alcohol dries out your hair and prolonged use will damage your hair so you want to look for alcohol free hair products. If your hair is color-treated you'll want to avoid alcohol-laden hair products to minimize dryness.

To add texture to your hair the best product I could find on the market is Redken 05 Touch Control Volumizing Texture Whip. As an added bonus, this product leaves your hair very shiny and not at all sticky or stiff, yet holds your hair in place. Another excellent volumizing alcohol free product is Mousse Plus by Nexxus. It adds lanolin and amino acids to your hair while holding it in place and pumping it up.

If you are looking for a product that will shine your hair, check out Silque Hair Shine. This alcohol free product treats frizzy and damaged hair while adding shine and luster. Aveeda makes a line of products called Pure-Fume Brilliant. All of the products smell spectacularly and are alcohol free. I recommend the Thermal Styling Crème for shine and smoothing wild hair.

Try Hempz Firm Hold Shaping Spray if you need serious hold. The product contains hemp seed oil, which makes your hair soft and touchable, yet still holds your style in place. Consider buying Biotera products too because they have a nice line of moisturizing hair products. The Biotera Styling Gel adds lift and holds your hair.

You can get some really great natural products for your hair that is alcohol free as well. Honeybee Gardens makes an organic hair spray that holds your hair in place without adding and lacquer. I like Aloe Hair Spray by CWS. Just spray a little on your roots to add body to your tresses.

How to Protect Your Hair

Is you hair frizzy, uncontrollable, have lots of split ends, feels horrible, is greasy and or just looks and feels a mess. If so I might have some helpful tips for you.

My hair used to get really frizzy when I blow dried it after I had washed it and the split ends could be seen easily, it felt like a fake wig sometimes. It didn't feel soft to touch and it looked a mess whatever I did, then the good old hair straightners came out. I went and purchased a pair of pink ones think they cost £20, they took a long time to heat up, but when they did I could not only straighten my hair but get rid of the frizz that took over my head. I loved my hair straightners and proberly used them most days, but then I noticed my split ends had got worse and I had them half way up my hair not only on the ends, I didn't know what to do. Luckily it was summer and I had gone on holiday I had taken my hair straightners but couldn't be bothered to actually use them so I let my hair dry itself. After tow weeks of letting my hair dry naturally without the use of a hairdryer or my hair straightners I noticed my hair had calmed down, there was shine and it felt so soft.

Following my holiday I kept letting my hair dry naturally and I couldn't believe the difference my hair was suddenly looking really good, soft to touch, less split ends and no frizz. The more weeks I didn't blow-dry and straighten my hair the better my hair got so for months I rarely got out my straightners and if I did it was only to straighten out the front bits of my hair, but then winter came. I struggled to let my hair dry naturally as it was taking hours to dry and if I did go out I would of probably caught a cold so I began to blow-dry my hair again. I decided not to use my straightners the day I blow-dried my hair if this was possible as I found this helped a lot. If I was going out or wanted my hair to look good I did use my hair straightners but not for ages just a few swipes through my hair and it was done.

I have now been doing this for the past two years and I still can't believe the difference in my hair. It feels so soft, it looks good, yeah I still get split ends but I can cope with them as there just mainly on the ends now not half way up my hair and the frizz has completely gone I don't get it anyway which is fab.

I hear so many adverts, advertisements in magazines saying use this product this will protect your hair when blow drying and straightening but I just can't use any of these products as there too heavy for my hair. I have tried so many different products but they all do the same make my hair feel heavy, not nice and it gets a lot greasier quicker which is something I can't stand. So if your like me forget the products, try and do what I do allow your hair to dry naturally at least once a week whatever the weather, don't straighten your hair directly after blow-drying it wait if you can to the next day and if you do have to straighten your hair everyday only do it quickly don't spend ages doing it, your hurting your hair!!!!

Hair Styles for Wedding Do's and Don'ts

Your wedding is a very special day and you of course want everything to be perfect. There are so many things to do it can make your head spin. But, if you allow enough time to really research everything, then you are well on your way.

In this article I want to address hair. It is important to get it right because it can make or break the entire look you are trying to achieve.

Here are some pointers about hair in general and I wrote about it in an earlier article:

-If you are of Asian descent, then the hair strands are round and thicker than all other types of hair with the exception of the red head who has the thickest hair of all. Generally this hair can be easily worked with and is often healthy looking and lustrous if the diet is good.

-If you are of European descent with blonde or dark hair, then your hair strands are thinner. The strands are round to oval shaped. This type of hair is easier to curl or straighten.

-If you are of African descent, then the hair strands are flat and that is the reason for the frizz and curl. This can be the most difficult hair to work with.

Another important factor is the shape of your face. Getting the wrong cut for your face shape can be a costly and an agonizingly long mistake, especially when you are getting married.

If you don't know what the shape of your face is then here are some tips to help you find out. Get out a measuring tape because there are four places you will need to measure, the length of your face and the width of your face in three places; across the forehead, cheek bones and across the chin.

Once you have the measurements done, here is what to look for:

- A round face is approximately the same length and width with the widest part at the cheek bones. Don't wear short hair cuts unless you can sweep it back and have fullness at the top and the hair closer to the ear. This will give your face more balance. You can wear your hair longer but make sure to keep the fullness at the top and below the chin line. Keep the hair around your ears close to the face or it will accentuate the roundness. You want to lengthen the face.

- An oval face is longer than the width and slightly rounded at the forehead and the chin is a bit smaller than the temple. This face shape can wear just about any hair style, long, medium or short. Most models have this face shape and as you can see they wear all different styles. This is one of the face shapes that can pull off the slicked back hair. If you have this face shape then you might want to consider pulling your hair back and wearing your veil under the bun as apposed to the veil coming over the face.

- A rectangular face is long and slender and the forehead and jaw line are about equal (even though the chin may be a bit narrow). With this shape what you want to accomplish is giving the face a more rounded appearance. Don't wear the hair too long and try and get more fullness around the ears and cheek bones. This shape can wear wispy bangs or be parted at the side. With the forehead being already high, don't put too much height on the top of your head and don't wear it too long. You don't want to give your face too much length. This shape does well with the veil over the face or the veil starting at the top with the fullness being around the ears and cheek bones.

- A heart shaped face is wide at the forehead and temple and narrows at the chin. This face shape looks great with chin length hair with wispy bangs or parted at the side. You want accomplish balance by having your hair fuller under the ears and at the nape of the neck. A chin length bob is great. A short veil that is narrow at the crown and gets fuller as it nears the chin and past works well.

- A square face is strong in the jaw and somewhat flat in the forehead. You don't want to accentuate the strong lines of the face so you'll want to add width around the ears, maybe a part in the middle and you want to add height to somewhat elongate the face. Short to medium hair works well. If your hair is straight then try out some curl.

Research well ahead of time can save you the agony of a wrong choice. Find out what you face shape is and start looking at magazines, go online and look at celebrity hair cuts and compare them to your face shape and hair type. Talk to your hairdresser and discuss photos that you like and what might work best for you.

This is your special day so make it perfect!
