How To Treat Your Biggest Organ - Your Skin

Skin is the largest organ of the body. You know that what you eat can maintain your enter beauty. If you eat junk food and fatty foods it can show up on your outer body and it also can affect your hair. Just like taking your prescriptions that always have some side effects. If your skin is on the sensitive side that also could mean your hair is fragile. Maybe your hair is fine, thin and sometimes breaks off for no reason. This when you should use more natural products. They will usually give you a full list of ingredients for every product. Most natural or organic products do no animal testing, which to is a complement to there products. Some of these products are brought back years before our time and have given us new treatments that will help prevent aging and give us all what we are looking for in total body care. If you are having problems with your hair maybe your using products that don't work together. For example using a shampoo in one line and then a conditioner from some other line. I personally use products that are in the same line because some things do not work together. If you are using a product to help give you fuller looking hair, then stay in that family using there shampoo and conditioner.

Changes in Hair Texture





Changes in hair texture what happens? As we age  hair changes because we lose the color pigment and it starts turning gray. It usually gets darker before it turns gray. Some of the changes that happen are that the gray that comes in is not as strong and we seem to get thinner in different areas. What is happening the grey hair  that is coming in may not be as strong and will brake off and leave you with  thinner hair. The change in texture happens to more people with fine hair. Everyone I know wants full and thicker looking hair. You can have that because there are products that can give you that full and thicker look. As we know once you stop using any of these products the changes of your hair texture returns to the same way it was.  Maybe you are trying to grow your hair longer and decided not even to trim it. You must use something to make the hair not look stringing while your growing it out to a longer length so lets use something that will give you healthy and fuller looking hair. Using good products,  will also help you keep your hair healthy and keep the split ends from making your hair looking frizzy. Even if you color your hair or use extensions you still want to keep your hair as healthy as possible.
If you lose you hair to illness, when your hair starts growing back the texture of it can be totally different. Your hair might be curly or it can be darker or lighter. Even some people have thinner or more fragile hair. It can be so weak that it breaks off and that usually happens around the face. If your hair does come in weak and the texture is different you want to use products for thinning hair to keep it strong.
Other things that effect the texture of our hair is the drugs we must take to keep us going like high blood pressure medicine and also our thyroid can have effect on our hair texture. What ever we take in to our bodies and what our bodies do not use also comes out thru our hair.  Please stay healthy so you can have that fuller, thicker hair you always dreamed of.

How to Fix Orange Hair


Why would you want to fix orange hair. Some people are born with orange hair but we call it red but is not more orange than red. Coloring our hair can give us orange hair but by using toners or violet based shampoos will calm it down.There are so many different tones of orange why would we want to fix orange hair, unless it does not go with our skin tone.
At breakfast I saw a gentleman with bright orange hair with strands of gold running thru. He was in a wheelchair but what stood out was his bright orange hair with a very stylish cut. I gave him a complement  on his hair and he told me as a kid everyone made fun of his orange hair. He said is proud of it now and I told him that his beautiful orange hair was becoming extinct. As I said why would you want to fix orange hair. If you are coloring your own hair and you picked a color that left you with orange or brassy looking hair. You can use a color wash to drab out the orange or a toner to drab out the orange if you are a blond. On really dark hair you will definitely be getting some brassy to orange tones. Dark hair works better by adding dark red to to give you a pretty mahogany look. I still say when you mix an orange red with a blue red you get such a wonderful shade of red like no other.
