Great Hair For Great Woman - Love It!

My sister, who had always entrusted her hair-dyeing to professional at her favourite salon had recently learned an environmental-friendly way of dyeing grey hair and she had eagerly shared her beauty tips with me. No chemical products, no strong smell or messy coating around our shoulders.



She heard of using coffee-powder added with some warm water and Eureka! a new hair product is born! She even offered me free coffee-powder to take home, along with a 'How to' list for dyeing my grey hair.


Well, it is not that I had never ever dye my hair the professional way or the DIY way before. In fact, I had several experiences in dyeing my hair, since no-grey-hair age to eventually greying-hair age. From dyeing the professional way (the costlier) to dyeing the DIY way (the cheaper) was never a dilemma for me.


Ultimately, I came to realise something - dyeing hair leads to dieing hair.

In fact, I had came to enjoy my full head of hair as it is, or as they are, so to speak. I knew all along that I was in fact blessed with a full head of lots and lots of thick and dense hair! ! I simply love my hair, love combing my hair, love 'brushing' my fingers through my hair. And guess what? I love to keep my hair thick and long, just as it is! This is truly against what most, if not all, of my hairdressers strongly recommended - thin them, layer them - so as to look more of an average? NO WAY!!


I had decided long ago, to simply LOVE! my hair as they are, and guess what again? They seems to grow to LOVE me back! They are more manageable, no split-ends, no frizzy hair.. with some grey hair, SO WHAT! that's natural growing! I am not bothered at all and so I DON'T feel bothered at all!

On the other hand, my husband had thin and scarcely grown hair, but well, he is not bothered by it either. Guess no one commented on his hair and till this day, I still see him happily combing his hair every morning. And who cares if he will turns bald one day? Who won't?



Is there anything strange when a old man is bald? Or a old lady has a full head of grey hair ? To me, it's part of nature, part of human living.


Are you still worrying about your hair? Greying hair, split-ends, losing hair, thinning hair or any hair problem at all? Are you still trying out all sorts of hair products just like I had, hoping to regain more than something on your head? Well, if you see great improvement, good for you, but if you are trying in vain, then STOP trying!!


It is time for you to learn to accept who you are, from top to toe, including your crown-glory!! (That's one great name not for nothing!).


If you want to enjoy life just like me, simply follow these:-

1. LOVE your hair with your heart.
2. COMB your hair gently with LOVE.
3. PRAISE your hair each night before you go to bed. (Look into the mirror if you have to)
4. TOUCH your hair, only with TENDER LOVING CARE.
5. ADORN your hair only with fine ornaments.
6. CHOOSE hair-styling products wisely - putting harm to the minimal.
and
STOP yanking your hair.
STOP looking for grey hair or split-ends.
STOP comparing your hair with others'.


For a start, begins at learning how to wash your hair the right way. See my first article on how to have Great Hair for Great Woman Well Wash

Great Hair for Great Woman - Well Wash

I happened to grabbed a copy of the latest issue of a local woman's magazine and flipping through I notice a question by a reader about whether to wash our hair with warm or cold water.

I now clarify how I maintain my glory and you can justify for yourself whether it convinces you.
By the way, all hairdressers I been to commented that I had lots of hair! Not just many, it's lots! and so far, with length close to my waist, no split ends.

So, read on and try out!

1. Wash at most on alternate days.
Too often of washing with shampoo and wetting it will be too harsh for your hair. Pulling will results while hair is wet too.

2. Comb with wide-tooth comb or simply runs your fingers through to tame your flock.
narrow-tooth combs are for styling purpose only.

3. Brush before bed, while you bend over and brush from back of neck to tip of hair. Make sure you do not leave any styling products on your hair over night.

4. If you had used styling products, then you might want to wash it off before going to bed. (even if it contradicts with No. 1 stated above).

5. Wash with lukewarm water and finish off by rinsing with tab-temperate water. NOT cold water, that is.

6. Dry your hair by likely squeeze out the water and wrap a towel and leave the towel on while you can proceed to leave the bathroom. (you can leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes, just remove it and turn it around to wrap it over your hair again for a good 'soak-up' of excess water from your hair.)

7. Remove towel, only lightly dab the wet towel around your hair to remove excess water. Do NOT rub with the towel!

8. Air dry, fluff a bit with your palm, if need.

9. Conditions your almost dried hair with leave-on conditioner, if you want to cut time.

10. Leaving your house or style your hair after washing? plan and wash your hair at least half an hour before hand.

12. Washing before bed-time? Air dry and stay awake for at least half an hour before lying down. Sleeping with damp hair is a No No.

13. Finally, wash your hair with TENDER LOVING CARE ... brush with love, comb with love and style your hair with love.

14. Before long, you will notice your lovely hair is attracting love to you too.

Extra Extra, wash your combs, brush or any hair accessories while waiting for your 'rinse-off' conditioner to be rinse or while towel-drying your hair. Wash them with your old, unused or sample hair shampoo which you no longer want to use yet do not feel like throwing them away. Use liberally.

I will add more extras on once I remember. Off to wash my hair now!
