Scene Kid Hair Tip #1
Scene girls almost always wear their hair long and BIG!

Scene hair usually has LOTS of layers, and is long in the back and short at the front. Just ask your hairstylist to cut lots of layers into your hair and to make sure that they are shorter on top and long on the bottom. Layering adds volume, especially to the crown, which allows for the backcombed ‘poofy’ look that is a big part of the scene girl hairstyles. Mohawks and spikes are also becoming popular additions to scene kid hair. Having the layers razored will add extra texture to your scene hair and this always looks great.

You may also want to ask your stylist to make the sides of your hair come to the front at an angle so that you can gel or hairspray them forward. Bangs (fringes) are also an important part of scene hair – most scene haircuts feature a bold, straight fringe or heavy bang. If you need extra help in choosing scene girl hairstyles don’t be afraid to ask your hairstylist for advice. You could even take along some pictures of scene hair that you like to show to your stylist. Your hairstylist should know how to cut scene hair and will be able to create unique scene haircuts for you.

Scene Kid Hair Tip #2
Scene kid hair is usually dyed bold colours.

Choose a hair colour that is bold and different from your natural hair colour (black or blonde are always the most popular scene kid hair colours, but don’t be afraid to experiment and be unique!). If your hair is naturally black or dark brown then you may want to dye your hair jet black or blue black – these colours will stand out and look really flattering.

Neon colors, such as bright pink, green, yellow and orange, or dark tones of maroon, red or blue, can add strong contrast to your scene kid hair and make other tones stand out. If you need extra help in choosing your scene kid hair colour then don’t be afraid to ask your hairstylist for advice on which colours would suit your skin tone. You could dye all of your hair, add some highlights, or add bright colour to a section of your hair – if you want to be really bold then do all three!

Scene Kid Hair Tip #3
Scene kid hair is full of texture and teased / backcombed.

If you want to ‘poof’ your scene hair then you are going to need two things:

1. A teasing comb

2. LOTS of hairspray – Rave hairspray is highly recommended (get the aerosol can NOT the spray kind)  

How to ‘Poof’ Your Scene Kid Hair
• Divide your hair into sections, starting with the top layers.

• Lift a layer and spray the roots with hairspray.

• Allow 3-5 seconds for the hairspray to dry a little bit.

• Using your comb, start teasing (back combing) your hair. Work from the middle of the hair down to the root.

• Hairspray the hair that you have just teased.

• Repeat this method all around your head to create an even look.

• Make sure that you get out all the little rats and spray down the fly away hairs!!

Scene Kid Hair Tip #4
Buy lots of hair accessories for your scene hair!

Scene girls love to accessorise their hairstyles with accessories such as hair bows, hair clips, hair barrettes, flowers and wide headbands.

When it comes to competing in and winning beauty pageants, one important step that cannot be overlooked is your style of pageant hair. Unlike your body structure, natural physical characteristics, or inherent personality your hair is one of the easiest qualities that you can change. You can easily change hair color, length, style, or go from curly to straight without much effort. However, if you change your hair too much, you run the risk of damaging it. Dry, frizzy, or over processed hair is not going to win you your next crown, therefore it is vitally important that you care for your hair properly and choose pageant hair styles that are not only complimentary, but are gentle to your hair as well.

One of the first resolutions that you should make is to never color or perm your hair yourself. Always leave these steps to a professional. Commercials, print ads, and even local sales people may try to sell you on the idea of highlighting or adding low lights to your hair at home, but these procedures do require an expert who has a license. You can ruin your hair as well as your chances simply by coloring or perming your hair at home, so always leave the chemicals in the hands of professionals.

You may also discover that the hairstyle that works best for you is one that compliments your natural hair texture as well as face shape. If you decide to make a complete color change, such as going from brunette to blonde, then you may want to seek the advice of a hair colorist. You can schedule a consultation where the colorist will look at your hair and discuss the toll that such a color change may mean to the condition of your hair. Beauty pageants are a serious commitment, and you will need to commit to maintaining your hair color throughout the entire competition. Roots or new growth will look dreadful, so it is wise to find a hair colorist that you trust and feel absolutely comfortable with.

If you are looking for pageant hairstyles to wear throughout the competition a great place to start is by watching videos of past pageants. Be sure to take special notice of the hairstyles worn by the winner and the runner-ups. However, take into consideration the contestant’s face shape because a winning hairstyle on an oval shaped face may not look as dazzling on a woman with a heart shape faced. Always tailor your hairstyle for your particular facial shape and bone structure. Again, discussing these options with your hairstylist is an excellent way to determine what styles accentuate your best features.

If you are considering adding clips or decorative accessories to your hair be conscientious of how these items will look with your gown as well as other jewelry pieces. It is always better to choose accessories in a conservative manner then to over use them. You can always ask the advice of your hair stylist as well as beauty pageant trainer before deciding on additional hairpieces or accessories to wear.

How common is hair loss?

Hair loss and a receding hairline are just one of the signs that age is starting to take a toll on our bodies. For men, there is a very good chance that it’s only a matter of time before you start to notice that your hairline is receding. For a fifth of men, androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness as it commonly know as, starts as they reach puberty. They will probably have extensive hairloss by the age of 30 or even younger. For them, male pattern baldness is extremely rapid and extensive.

For a sixty percent of men, the process of hairloss is far more gradual. It also starts later on in life. Regardless of the time frame however, near total baldness across the majority of the head areas affects most of the male adult population.

Female Hair Loss

Hairloss for men is more socially acceptable. Women on the other hand, often face a more traumatic experience from unexpected hair loss. While early adolescence and the 20s are potential problem times for women susceptible to generic hair loss, menopause is an equally critical time.

Hair Growth

The rate of hair growth is 3mm per week (faster than any other part of the body except bone marrow).

This process of hair loss and hair regrowth is continuous and natural – it is only when daily hair loss greatly exceeds this rate that an unnatural condition may be present. The human head has an average of around 100,000 hair follicles, which can each produce about 20 hairs in a lifetime

Does Hair Colour Make a Difference?

People with red hair have 25% fewer scalp hairs than those with brown hair; whilst those with blond hair have 25% more scalp hairs and those with brown hair. This fact may account for the belief that men with red hair are more likely to go bald than anyone else.

Normally, this would be an ample amount of hair for one person, if it weren’t for many factors, including particularly D.H.T. or Dihyrotestosterone.

DHT – A Factor in Male Hair Loss

This is a powerful hormone in our bodies, which can adversely affect the hair on our head. It is very important for a person to have proper nutrition to maintain hair. When DHT reaches the hair follicles and dermal papilla, it tends to prevent proteins, vitamins and minerals from providing the necessary nourishment to sustain life in the hair of these follicles. Due to this, the hair follicles tend to reproduce at a slower rate and this in turn either shortens the growing phase of the hair follicles or lengthens its resting stage.

This can result in a shrinking of the hair follicle, which makes hair growth more difficult and makes hair more vulnerable to falling out.

Other Hair Loss Factors

In addition to the chemical effects of D.H.T. other factors influence hair growth. Poor nutrition, stress and old age also have an adverse affect on the ability to reproduce hair at a fast enough rate.

Hair Loss Treatment, Prevention and Hair Loss Products

If you want to reverse or prevent hair loss, what can be done? – There are a lot of treatments available from creams to Hair Transplants – many are quite costly, and all achieve mixed results. It is essential that you do your research into all of the alternatives that are available on the market.

Remember always that new / improved treatments are constantly being developed. This means that even if you have had no success in the past a solution that works for you may become available at any time.

Laser hair removal is fairly new. For generations, women have been seeking out the perfect way to get rid of unwanted body hair and there have been a lot of advances in this area. Laser hair removal is perhaps the most advanced, though and offers quite a few benefits.

Some of the other more traditional methods of hair removal include waxing, shaving, tweezing and electrolysis. Each has its own disadvantages and a few benefits.

Shaving: This is perhaps one of the most commonly known methods of getting rid of hair. Unfortunately, it is also the method with the most downsides. While razors are cheap, they run the risk of causing nicks which can become infected. Also, when the hair is sliced off flat, it grows back appearing thicker and darker and giving the opposite effect desired. Shaving sensitive areas, such as the face and bikini area, frequently results in ingrown hairs, which can be both painful and unsightly.

Waxing: This method can be painful, as it actually yanks hair out by the roots. However, it lasts quite a bit longer than shaving, runs fewer risks and is relatively easy to do at home. The downside is that you have to let the hair grow out quite a bit before waxing is effective.

Sugaring: Using sugar instead of wax, this is supposedly a more natural method of hair removal, but it still carries the disadvantages of waxing and adds a bit of stickiness to the whole situation. Some people claim it isn’t as effective, too.

Tweezing: Impractical for large areas of hair removal, tweezing is ideal for smaller areas such as eyebrows or the chin. It can be rather time consuming to pull each individual hair out by the root, though and they sometimes break off.

Threading: Similar to tweezing, threading pulls hair out by the roots, but it uses thread that is twisted to catch the unwanted hairs and then pull them out. It can be quite painful and requires skill to use this method.

Depilatory Creams: These are full of harsh chemicals that burn out the hair. They offer longer regrowth periods than methods like shaving, but are not as effective as waxing. The chemicals can irritate sensitive skin, as well.

Electrolysis: This is a more popular method of hair removal that involves zapping the root of the hair with small electric charges to kill it. While you will need several sessions, this can be a good way to eventually reach permanent hair removal.

Laser hair removal is a great alternative to all of the above methods. While these methods (apart from electrolysis) are all temporary and need to be repeated frequently over a lifetime, laser hair removal uses focused light to target dark hairs and requires up to 8 treatments for full removal. A few people need touchups afterwards, but in general, the procedure is permanent.

Lasers target the dark hair, so those with blonde hair will find it ineffective. However, for anyone with brown or black body hair, it can be a good way to eliminate the unwanted hair. Thanks to the ability to work quickly, laser hair removal is ideal for larger areas, not just eyebrows and chin. It can be used to remove hair on the stomach, legs and pubic area, as well, and is most effective where the hair is darkest and thickest. The light beam is actually fairly large, making it easier and faster to work with than other options such as electrolysis, which focuses on one hair at a time.

Laser hair removal is effective, painless and permanent, making it a more popular method of hair removal for those who aren’t interested in slaving over their bodies with hot wax and razors.

So look to one of these choices to update your do with a trendy new style. The Bob The Bob has been big for more than a year now, showing up on celebrities from Katie Holmes (Mrs. Tom Cruise) to Eva Longoria Parker. This is a hairstyle that requires a precision cut, smooth styling, blunt-cut bangs (if they’re right for you) and tons of shine, shine, shine. The Bob works best for hair that is straight or slightly wavy. The cut should land somewhere between the tip of your earlobe and the top of your shoulder. Hair dressing to achieve The Bob’s maximum effect means your stylist should cut your hair carefully to accentuate the structure of your face, or to show off your lovely, long neck.

The exception to the rule is women like Demi Moore (Mrs. Ashton Kutcher), who have made their single-length long hair into a signature style. As with The Bob, the Long and Wavy hairstyle requires that you find a good stylist and then pay attention to what he or she recommends about how to shape your long hair so that it compliments your facial structure. Sloping, asymmetrical bangs are often seen with a Long and Wavy style. The Classic Ponytail A third hair dressing trend is the Classy Ponytail. Whether worn high on the back of the head, or down low against the next, the Ponytail proved that its elegance is timeless. The key to a good Ponytail is clean, clean, clean hair that has been brushed to a bright shine. Women with straight hair are in luck this year, because another hot style is the classic Straight look.

Color me Beautiful This is also the Year of the Hair Color. Yes, the use of the right color can make a dramatic difference in a hair style.

Hair color offer instant change to anyone’s look. Men and women have been coloring their hair since the beginning of time using chemicals, plants and pigments. There are several different types of hair color. Hair dye is made up of pigments (color) or bleaches. There are temporary hair colors, which are applied in the form of rinses, gels, mousses, and sprays. They coat the surface of the hair and usually wash out within two or three shampoos. Semipermanent dyes penetrate into the hair shaft, but not as deeply as permanent dyes. Permanent hair color mostly has peroxide and ammonia to cover the gray hair. Demi-permanent hair color uses low volumes of peroxide and no ammonia, causing lesser damage to hair. It covers 80% of gray hairs and lasts for more than two months.

It also fades away gradually. Semi-permanent hair colors are meant to last from one week to one month and are mostly safe for hair. Semi-permanent dyes usually come in liquid, gel, or aerosol forms. Semi-temporary hair colors stand up to 4-6 times of shampooing your hair. Temporary hair colors are usually used for party purposes and can be easily washed off by shampooing your hair. Color rinses are good for toning hairs but do not last long. Permanent hair color opens up the outer layer of the hair so that its insoluble formula then reacts with the hair’s middle layer and deposit the color permanently. While coloring your hair for the first time, start at the crown or at the nape of the neck, where the natural hair color is darkest.
