5 Tips for Women to Look Younger

When you think of aging, you think of gray hair and looking old. But on some, gray hair is quite becoming. So recognize what works best for you. Going to the salon and trying to reverse the aging process with color and more trendy cuts is a tried and true solution to recapturing youth. Even something as simple as eyebrow pruning can take off 10 years from an aging look. This is why you need to make your hairdresser your teammate in decision-making.

Here are some guidelines:

Lawrence’s 5 Tips

1. Get a haircut that fits you. Ask for an upbeat cut instead of the look you always have.

2. If you are dissatisfied with the gray in your hair, color it. It does not have to look like you colored your head with shoe polish. You can get your hair lowlighted or highlighted, and most people will think your hair is natural.

3. Use products such as gels, mouse, wax, and hair spray because they really help. Even a hair dryer can do the trick. When getting a new cut, ask your hairdresser to show you how to style your hair. It will only take about 5 minutes.

4. Trim, dye or wax those over-grown brows. Be sure to go to someone who won’t create a thin line for a brow look. You can buy over-the-counter lash and eyebrow tint for those gray hairs. Do not use a permanent marker to color your eyebrows as some magazines have stated. The marker color will wash out and leave you with a blue or green hue in your eyebrows.

5. Don’t be shy about asking your spouse, significant other, and your friends to offer feedback. They know you and care about you, and can give you an unbiased opinion.

The more you know about how to reignite your earlier years, the more natural and fresh-looking you will be in just a short visit to your salon.

5 Tips to Your Child’s First Hair Cut

A child’s first haircut can be very stressful. Don’t panic. Call your hairdresser and ask if s/he does children’s hair; some salons do not. If this is the case, call a local children’s salon that is accustomed to doing this type of work.

Here are some guidelines:

Lawrence’s 5 Tips

1. Get your child used to having someone strange touch his/her hair. Put your child on your lap for the first cut. You may need to hold your child’s head if s/he is squirming. Remember that hairdressers use sharp instruments.

2. Before you bring your child to the salon, use scissors with Band-Aids or another soft covering to cover up the sharp points and get your child used to having shiny scissors around his/her face. Be careful of your child’s eyes because even with covered ends, these instruments are still pointy.

3. Put your child in the bath tube or sink, and cut his/her hair yourself straight across the back for the first cut. In the tub, your child will be distracted and will not feel threatened by the shiny cutters. Save that first lock of hair for your child by putting it in his/her personal album until s/he gets older.

4. If you have a pair of hair clippers or a hair dryer in your home, get your child used to the noise early on. This way, the sounds in a salon will not create trauma.

5. Use a spray bottle of water to mist your child’s hair to make him/her used to sensation of wet hair. Also, play dress-up at home by draping a cape close to their neck so they will feel comfortable when this is done in the salon.

Make this first cut as easy as possible because your child will be doing this about every 6 to 8 weeks for many years to come. If you get to the salon and your child has a meltdown, be willing to exit and return on another day. This should be a pleasant experience for all involved, so don’t push it beyond your child’s readiness.

Lawrence’s 5 Tips

Buy keeping up with these simple services they will take off at least 10 years from your look.

5 Tips to Stop Hair Loss and Get Fuller Hair

When hair comes out, it can be devastating. This can be one of the first signs something is not right with in your body. Hair can fall out for many reasons. There may be a hormonal change, nutritional change, medication you are taking, or stress that can cause havoc on your hair. Take note and take charge right away, because if you don’t act immediately, sometimes your hair loss may be permanent. Consult your doctor or nutritionist.

Here are some guidelines:

Lawrence’s 5 Tips

1. Eat a well-balanced diet with plenty of omega oils to stay healthy. Being fit is the number one key to hair health.

2. Seek over-the-counter remedies that may help you.

3. Inquire about prescription drugs from your doctor.

4. Manage your stress. If need be, take stress management courses.

5. Don’t wash hair every day. Just rinse it with water if need be, and let your natural oils protect your hair

If you see a lot of hair in your shower drain, it’s okay. We’re supposed to lose 80 to 100 hairs a day. Sometimes one hair will curl around itself in the drain, and look like 20! So consider that some minor hair loss is normal. Only if you are seeing something out of the norm, seek medical attention.
