Question: Hi guys..i have extremly thick hair which is frizzy and curly also. Any ideas on how to care or manage my thick frizzy and curly hair and how can find a suitable hairstyle for thick curly hair.

Answer by Gari: I have found a few things that have worked for thick, frizzy, curly hair.

1. Don’t colour your hair. It dries it out incredibly and only makes your hair more ssuceptible to being frizzy, coarse, thick, puffy etc. etc.

2. Flat iron. It’s your best friend. NOTE: Always use a pre-flat iron spray to protect your hair. Otherwise, the heat from the flatiron is only damaging your hiar further. If you’d rather curly hair, use a diffuser on your hair dryer. DO NOT BLOW DRY YOUR HAIR. That could be a biggest mistake as it only made it puffy-er. If you must blow dry… use the cold air option. Hot air only fries it.

3. Try BedHead products. They are very helpful, I find. Try the BedHead after party smoothing cream and use a little after you flat iron. Just make sure you comb after you apply it as well, to keep your hair from looking greasy. Also, try the BedHead styling wax to control fly aways.

4. Absolutley do not use a volumizing shampoo (as if that isn’t already clear) Try Garnier Nutrisse Silk & Shine. All natural ingredients and NO chemicals to burn your hair and dry it out ever more than it already is.

5. USE CONDITIONER EVERYTIME YOU SHOWER! Leave it in for 2-3 minutes and then rinse completely. (If needed, use a shampoo for damaged and coloured hair as well. It totally restores it) 
*Another awesome shampoo I ran across a few years ago was Paul Mitchell ’super skinny’. It worked fantastically.

Ask a professional hair stylist to give you layers, also. Layered hairstyles takes so much thickness out of your hair. Ask them to use ‘texturizing scissors’. They are made specifically for thick, unruly hair and cut the thickness without affecting the length! SO GREAT.

Keep in mind that having thick hair has a lot more benefits to having thin hair. You are the envy of so many brittle haired individuals! Work your hairstyle!

Question: My Hair scalp feels dry and flaky after my holiday? Does that mean I have dandruff problem? Kindly tell what should I do to make my scalp and hair healthy free of any dryness and dandruff.

Answer: It is more than likely that you have burnt you scalp in the sun while you were away during the holiday and the skin on your scalp is peeling. Dandruff tends to be more common among people who have oily hair, not a dry scalp. So it you have post-holiday flakes, visit your hair salon for an intensive deep-conditioning treatment that includes a scalp treatment to feed the hair as well as soothe and rehydrate the skin on your head. Don’t rush for the nearest anti-dandruff shampoo unless the problem persists well after you return. If, after a few weeks, you still see flakes or dandruff in your hairline, try using an anti-dandruff shampoo every other day. When lathered up, remember to leave the shampoo for a few minutes to allow the dandruff control ingredients to work, moisturizing and exfoliating the scalp. Alternate anti-dandruff shampoo with your usual shampoo until the problem clears.

Question: I am going for a new job interview and I am not sure how to wear my hair. I am going for a job as an account executive for high-powered conservative company. My hair is weaved with bold red and blonde streaks. Do you think this hairstyle is too much?

Advice by Easy-Hairstyles.com: It’s been said that when you go for a job interview, that you need to look and dress like the job you want to get. You can take your lead from the type of company you are interviewing with. You say that they are conservative so that’s a huge indicator. Even if they were not, you have to be careful that your hairstyle does not upstage you and your qualifications for the job. If your hair is really over the top, it may be difficult for your potential employer to focus on you. You might want to consider a softer version of the hairstyle you have now.

Question: Is it normal for clumps of hair to fall out after each combing or brushing?

Answer: There are about 120,000 hairs on each of our heads. Therefore it is normal to lose at least 40 to 120 on average every day. Hair goes through a growth cycle. Hair grows at a rate of about 1cm per month. After a hair has finished the growing period, it goes into a period of rest. Eventually the hair is shed. Because there is a hair growth and loss cycle, we don’t end up hairless.

However, our hair can go through phases when it begins to thin out, especially as we age. There are a variety of circumstances that cause hair loss: stress, diet, over processing, and others. The key to remedying extreme hair loss is to seek professional guidance – preferably from a trichologist. Hair stylist may be able to offer some help. However they tend to treat the symptoms rather than the cause of your hair problem. Conversely, trichology is the branch of medicine, which scientifically studies the health of hair and scalp. A trichologist will be able to diagnose your hair problem if you have one.
