Do you have long beautiful hair? Well, if you are looking for a way to help others without having to dip into your savings here is an easy answer to look even more beautiful and feel that way too.

There are thousands of children with hair loss in this country, either because of natural hair loss or due to serious medical conditions like cancer.

Here is a simple thing that you can do to help:

The next time you go for a haircut bring a bag and have your stylist put the cut hair in it. Then have the hair donated to locks of love. “Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.”

Can you imagine a better feeling than helping these kids feel better about themselves while doing something that makes you feel better as well? Remember, the next time you get your hair cut and admiring your new do that you can help a child feel just as fabulous in three easy steps.

Frizzy hair is the bane of many women’s existence, including mine. All of the women in my family have curly hair and with the Florida heat that leads to frizz. You could go to extremes and get the japanese hair straightening system, like my sister did. It works and she only has to do a quick blow dry now to keep it looking great.

For those of you who don’t want to invest hundreds of dollars for this fairly permanent straightener you can try these simple strategies:

1) Deep condition your hair at least once a week.

2) Use leave in conditioner each time you wash your hair.

3) Use products specifically designed to fight frizz like John Frieda’s products.

4) You can speak with your stylist to design a cut that will minimize the frizz. Layers tend to make you more susceptible to frizzy hair, for example. A blunt cut tends to leave you with less frizz.

If you’ve got a head of curls that other girls envy- but drive you to distraction, I’ve got a new hair product for you. The Phyto Phytospecific Phytorelaxer Index 2 - Normal, Thick, Coarse Hair Phytospecific Phytorelaxer Index 2 can provide many amazing results for unruly hair. This product is designed for women with especially coarse hair and who have a hard time managing unruly kinks and curls. This hair straightener is made from many natural ingredients such as egg and soy and can tame the most unmanageable hair! The kit comes with gloves and stick applicators for accurate applications, but most importantly, is a one time treatment. For a good daily look and added shine, you could run a straightening iron or ceramic iron through the top layers to give you hair a polished look.  

Beauty reviews rave in regards to this product because of the strength and longevity the treatment provides when straightening your hair. A Hair straightener is always a good solution for anyone who wants a straight look, even if you have straight hair, but this will give it the extra boost toward simplicity that you will want and need of you have unruly hair.  One of my friends is a curly girl who says that the option to go from curl to sleek and straight gives her more control over her hair than she’s ever had in her life. Everything you will need to have beautiful straight hair is included in this kit. It even has reconstructive elements for you to apply that will give the hair on your head extra strength and durability that you’ll need if you style frequently. Remember- beauty is really about taking control over your life.
