L’Oreal’s ‘Pill for Grey Hair’ /blog/2011/12/loreals-pill-for-grey-hair/ /blog/2011/12/loreals-pill-for-grey-hair/#respond Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:03:24 +0000 /blog/?p=1624 When news broke this week that L’Oreal was developing a pill to prevent grey hair, it made headlines around the world. But scientists say the pill, which has not yet been created, produces more questions than answers.

Bruno Bernard, head of the Hair Care, Quality and Color team at L’Oreal, first spoke about the cosmetic company’s research, telling the Daily Mail the pill will be based on a fruit extract that mimics an enzyme called TRP-2, which isn’t present in hair follicles.

TRP-2 helps make pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. In theory, the presence of TRP-2 could prevent hair from going gray.

Ideally you would take [the pill] for your whole life, but realistically we’d encourage people to start using it before their hair goes grey because we don’t think it can reverse the process once it has started,” he told the UK paper. “We have a watertight proof of concept, and we think it will have a market among men as well as women.

3 Best Hair-Thickening Shampoos and Conditioners /blog/2011/12/3-best-hair-thickening-shampoos-and-conditioners/ /blog/2011/12/3-best-hair-thickening-shampoos-and-conditioners/#respond Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:29:44 +0000 /blog/?p=1610

1. Nexxus Diametress Luscious Hair Thickening Shampoo and Sublime Volume Luscious Bodifying Conditioner ($14 shampoo, $15 conditioner;)

Nexxus’s shampoo and conditioner increased the diameter of hair more than any other brand we tested, so this set should add volume to almost any style. Several consumers noted that they liked the volume and body of their hair after using these products, which also made tresses softer, thicker, and more manageable. Most agreed that these products truly made their hair look thicker, though a few worried that their fuller hairstyles had a bit more frizz and flyaways.

2. Best Manageability
Bumble and bumble Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner ($21 shampoo, $22 conditioner; salons)

The thickening duo from Bumble and bumble received the highest score from testers for making hair more manageable. Testers also rated this shampoo and conditioner set highly for increasing the smoothness, softness, and overall healthy appearance of their hair. They raved that Bumble and bumble’s products banished limp locks — one panelist even had a co-worker ask if she’d changed her style because her hair was so notably different. Take note: While these products thickened blond hair well in our labs, they did not boost the diameter of gray hairs much.

3. Nice Scent
Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lemon Sage Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner ($11.50 shampoo, $12.50 conditioner; salons)

This hair-care duo received one of the highest scores from our testers for its lemon-sage scent. Further, Paul Mitchell’s shampoo and conditioner set earned excellent marks in the lab for its ability to thicken blond hair. Though these products weren’t able to thicken gray hairs as well, they still got great reviews from our consumers: One liked how her hair really felt clean, while another commented that these products didn’t weigh her hair down.

Oily Hair Review and Tips /blog/2011/08/oily-hair-review-and-tips/ /blog/2011/08/oily-hair-review-and-tips/#respond Tue, 30 Aug 2011 17:45:13 +0000 /blog/?p=1489

Oily hair is a problem of our scalp and is most time affiliated with overactive oil gland which is to the higher levels of hormones. Often gives of a Oily and greasy look.

Washing hair to remove excess oil, dust and dirt which can make hair look dull, limp and lifeless. People who have fine, straight hair tend to have oilier hair.

Oily Hair Tips

• Wash it as often as necessary to keep it clean , in good shape and oil free.

• Use a gentle shampoo. Leave shampoo on the scalp for five minutes before rinsing!

• Tip: the best shampoos for oily hair contain a detergent, such as ammonium or sodium lauryl sulfate. (These detergents are quite drying to hair.)

• Instead of daily try shampooing every second day.

• Rinse on the off day. Rinse with cool water to close the pores of the scalp.

• Between washes use hair fresheners to avoid bad smelling hair.

• Try to avoid conditioner at the roots and scalp, apply in the middle or on the ends. Apply it gently with your fingertips.

• Avoid brushing your hair too often or too vigorously, since brushing can help spreading oil from your roots to the ends of your hair. We recommend the Mason Pearson Brushes to stimulate the scalp instead.

• Have the hair colored or permanently waved. Color treated hair has enlarged strands and this can help reduce the oil from spreading through your hair.

• Avoid frequently touching your hair.

Kerastase_Reflection.275165916_std

Coarse textured hair has more cuticle layers. This type of hair is more resistant to coloring. Coloring any type of hair can damage it if the wrong level of peroxide is used or you are over-processing your hair.

Read about Cosmetics and Chemistry – to learn more about ingredients in skin and hair products.

If you constantly change your color you must regularly use deep conditioning treatments. Over-processing is the main reason if your colored hair looks dull.

One of the most important elements of hair coloring is determining your hairs†underlying pigment. When you combine underlying color and artificial color in the right way you get the desired result.

How to Test Hair Color
You should always test for allergic reaction on your skin. Here is how:

• Place a small amount of the color on your skin.
• Wait 20 minutes.
• If there is allergic reaction, do not use the color.
