CurlFest 2018 – 75 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Two
Whether your hair is in a short hairstyle, medium or long; one thing is for sure… all natural hair needs moisture! This is due to two reasons, the structural makeup of curly hair as well as the dynamics of hair growth.
If hair is dry, brittle and tangling constantly it’s simple math. It is not going to appear like it’s getting longer or more voluminous. Yes, hair never stops growing; however, if it is steadily breaking off and falling out from lack of hydration you will NEVER see any signs of real growth. Yikes.
The key then is add moisture. Since water takes longer to travel down a curly strand as opposed to a straight one, it becomes even more necessary to make sure you not only hydrate your strands; but lock all that water in. This can be achieved by applying water soluble stylers, conditioners and creams; then use a high-quality oil to lock and fence in those moisturizing products. Got it? Great back to the CurlFest 2018 hairdos!
CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Three
As one can see, achieving beautiful natural hair can be a reality! However, one issue that some run into when transitioning or even thereafter is knots. Knotting up at the ends occurs when… you guessed it, ends are not getting the moisture or nutrients they need to stay healthy.
Also, FYI, ends that can not be easily passed or combed/brushed through is a good indication that it is time for a trim. Nonetheless, help prevent this little hair issue by applying hair oil to your tresses. Carrot oil and jojoba oil can be real hair savers in this particular area. However, back to the styles!
CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Four
Got another quick hair tip coming at you! Hair oil is also a great product for de-tangling. This is because like conditioners and creams, it provides a nice amount “slip” to help your fingers or brush pass through. Try warming up coconut oil or jojoba oil then apply it to your strands right before untangling.

Time for another hair tip! Well, naturalistas, if you do decide to towel dry or blot out some of the water from your hair; it is best not to use a regular old towel. Opt for either a microfiber towel or use a tee shirt. You see other towels are made from a harsher material; and by using them you can cause unnecessary frizz as well as rough up the cuticle. Keep that quick tip in your natural hair back pocket and let’s get back to the hairstyles.

Demi Permanent Hair Color or Semi permanent hair color… ladies, that is the question! This hair debate never seems to end; however, one thing is for sure. Regardless, of which method you choose, you most likely want to not only keep your strands healthy; but also maintain if not grow more hair in the process.
Can it be done? Of course it can! Remember healthy hair clings or holds onto any applied hair color the best. So then, if your hair is dry or brittle, the color will most likely fade faster than normal. Yikes!
Demi Permanent Hair Color – How to Really Keep Your Hair Healthy
In this article we’re getting into the nitty gritty of hair color. We will explore and dive into what can be done to keep your tresses in top notch shape, even while you change up your color like a kid in a candy store.
In order to keep strands extremely healthy while implementing dyes, you must develop an excellent haircare routine specifically for hair color; and never deviate. For instance, what products do you currently use for your color treated hair? If they are the same ones you were using before you began your hair color journey; those same products may not still be as effective.
That’s why it’s important to use products specifically formulated for color treated hair or focus on heavy deep conditioning treatments. This would include regular hair masks, applying high quality hair oil to lock in moisture and deep conditioning treatments that can sit on the hair for at least 30 minutes before being rinsed out.
Also, if strands seem weak; a break from coloring may be in order. We know playing with the rainbow can be fun; but breakage and losing all your hair is not. So if your hair is not at its strongest, take 2-4 weeks to get them stronger before applying more hair color. This step is also beneficial to do before coloring your hair in general at all.
During this time of much needed hair rest, really condition your strands. This little break will give your tresses time to heal, restructure and fix a lot of damage. As a result, once you do add your color of choice, your hair will be able to man up and handle it effortlessly.
Demi Permanent Hair Color – How to Really Keep Your Hair Healthy (Continued)
Hair color can take a little more work and effort to maintain. However, the result is healthier tresses that continue to grow. Score.
Nevertheless, what types of hair color products should be utilized? Should you opt for Demi Permanent or perhaps Semi Permanent hair color items?
First of all, ask yourself, am I dealing with light graying; do I want to use no chemicals or perhaps do I need more coverage? If you wish to stay away from having a full head of permanent bleached strands then demi or semi permanent hair color is the way to go.
There’s not as much fuss with these types of dyes because unlike using permanent hair color… they’re not well, permanent. Every wash will cause the color to fade. Till eventually it’s completely gone.
Demi permanent lasts much longer than semi permanent hair color but it does has its drawbacks. You see Demi color can only darken hair and does contain small amounts of peroxide which helps the color to look richer. So then, if you wish to go lighter or want to stay chemical free you may not enjoy the Demi route.
Furthermore, for the above reasons, many opt to use semi permanent because it does not contain chemicals. You’re able to achieve coloring minus harmful elements.
Demi Permanent Hair Color – How to Really Keep Your Hair Healthy (Conclusion)
Nonetheless, always remember that the most important part is protecting your hair with the right products before and after processing. If you treat your hair like a treasure, it will look like one. So then, have fun with your hair, it’s your crown and glory! Just keep it well polished with an awesome regimen and you will be good to go.

Leave it hip hop’s finest to have us girls wanting to pour a bottle of dye all over our heads! Recently, rapper Eve debuted a new vibrant look with an effortlessly cool vibe. Eve’s blue gray hair color is a part of a growing hair trend where wearers are opting not to go too blue or all the way gray either.
Nevertheless, you may wonder is this a hairstyle look that is easy to achieve? Also, what type of maintenance is involved? Moreover, is it safe for strands especially if focused on achieving more hair growth? We answer all of those questions and more!
2018 Hair Color Trends: Blue Gray Hair As Seen on Eve
Now if you are thinking of trying this exciting hair color, you may want to consult and utilize a professional. Yes, that means breaking out the wallet a little more, but it’s worth it. This is because getting a grayish blue hue usually takes more than one process. Consequently, looking for a highly recommended hair colorist that is experienced taking clients’ tresses to platinum, silver and gray tones; will help you get to this stellar look safely. You can also try Revlon Colorsilk.
Furthermore, another thing to keep in mind, is that it may be an arduous procedure to get to a blue gray hair shade. Translation: This kind of transformation can be tough on your hair. Moreover, the finished results can sadly be quite fleeting.
This fun hair pigment can fade faster than a summer crush. Therefore, it is imperative to take measures to keep any attained hair color as vibrant as possible.
2018 Hair Color Trends: Blue Gray Hair As Seen on Eve (Continued)
This can be done through at-home maintenance. Always use shampoo specially formulated for color treated hair. Using a blue shampoo can help prevent strands from turning “yellowish” down the road.
Furthermore, if possible try to stretch your time between washes. Remember this particular hair color fades WAY quicker than most. So the less often you cleanse the longer the color will last.
Also, remember hair dyes can dry out strands. So then, hydrate your hair often by using a good conditioner for color treated hair. Additionally, you can also apply hair oil to your tresses to give them plenty of shine, nutrients as well as moisture.
What types of oils are among the best to use? Apply coconut oil, vitamin E oil, or also Macadamia Nut oil. Use and apply these types of oils consistently for the best results.

I’m really into the hot mess, disheveled hair look right now. This hairstyle is very versatile and looks great on tresses of all lengths. I have seen celebrities sport this look in the form of …
Beauty Tip-Save yourself some muhla and trim your bangs yourself.
After you wash and blow dry your hair, flat iron your hair till smooth. Gather bangs and twist hair several times, but not too tightly otherwise you may trim tresses too short. Next, depending on how long you want your bangs, trim hair either above or below your fingers holding the twist. Remember it is best to start longer, because you can always re-twist and re-cut in order to make bangs shorter.
