Dry hair, as well as severe greasiness are two very common cases that make you anxious about the appearance and behavior of your hair.

Your hair reflects your personality and style and when it suddenly becomes dull and sensitive you need to take action to protect it.

We have 6 tips to get your hair back to shiny and healthy.

Advice No1: Switch to moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.

Priority number 1 to counter dry hair is proper hydration. Try using a nourishing shampoo and conditioner in your shampooing routine to ensure hydration.

Shampooing should be done properly by taking a few minutes to massage the scalp without vigorously rubbing the lengths and ends of your hair.

Apply conditioner to the mids and ends of your hair and if you experience scalp dryness then gently massage the scalp and rinse your hair.

Advice No2: Apply home hair treatments at least once per week.

You don't have to wait for an important day to treat yourself properly. Instead make sure to take care your hair properly, so when that important day comes you will be radiant!

Two common mistakes that you might do are when applying hair mask you use it after the conditioner, and leave it on longer or shorter than the time indicated on the instructions.

The correct application of the hair treatment is done as indicated on the packaging and in the following order:

  1. a) Shampooing your hair
  2. b) Hair treatment
  3. c) Conditioner

Advice No3: Leave- in Styling Conditioner

What is leave-in Conditioner?

It is a nourishing cream which does not rinse off, works like a treatment and keeps hair moisturized all day long.

For well-conditioned, frizz-free and shiny hair, you can style it with a leave-in styling conditioner.

Advice No4: Hair oils

Hair oils are used to moisturize, smooth and protect the hair from thermal tools and technical treatments such as dyes and drying products. They offer smooth , shiny and healthy hair plus they smell great and give us a sense of well-being!

Just like our skin, our hair needs the necessary greasiness in order to have strong and healthy hair. But some people happen to have oilier hair than others.

The hair oils we buy are meant to complement and regenerate the natural oils our bodies make on their own, so we use them in places where we want to supplement the natural oil.

Is hair oil for you?

Everyone can benefit from using hair oils. But there are a few things to consider - particularly your hair type and texture.

Curly hair

Curly hair is naturally more dehydrated; hence hair oils make wonders not only on the hair but also on the scalp, providing the necessary oiliness.

It can be used on the roots all the way to the ends without making the hair oily, and it’s great for achieving shiny and smooth curls without frizz.

Dry and dehydrated hair or hair that has been subjected to heavy technical work.

In case you have damaged or dehydrated hair, hair oils will help you, as they lock in the moisture that your hair needs.

If your hair is thin and straight avoid applying near the roots.

Apply the product in small amounts at the ends of your hair.

Apply the hair oil

It is best to apply the oil to wet hair and carefully comb it through to ensure that the product reaches every part of the hair in order for the oil's therapeutic properties to be effective.

The amount you should use varies depending on the amount and type of hair you have, but generally, small amounts are preferable.

The hair oil can also be used to add shine to your hairstyle, on ends, and on dry hair.

Last but not least. You can use hair oil after washing your hair as a hair treatment.

You can apply the oil from the root all the way to the ends and then use appropriate shampoo for your hair type, and always conditioner afterwards to lock in the moisture and nutrients in your hair.

Remember to avoid the following

If you apply hair oil to your hair, DO NOT use a hair iron or blow dryer as a finishing touch to your hairstyle.

This will have negative effect on your hair.

Remember to always use hair oil LAST as a styling, moisturizing and shine product when applied to dry hair.

Tip 1: Cover up!

If you're walking around the city to run errands, cover your hair with a hat or scarf to protect it. This tip will help you maintain hydration in your hair by adding extra UV protection from the sun.

Tip 2: Use sunscreen for your hair

Before you leave the house, never forget to apply sunscreen to your face and body as you have heard millions of times from beauty gurus.

As hair experts, we also recommend using sunscreen for your hair. Definitely.

Tip 3: Proper and consistent hydration.

The summer heat will dry out and dehydrate your hair in no time. Hydration is something your hair needs all year round, but during the summer, it becomes more critical.

Start with the right shampoo and conditioner, do masks once a week at home and also at the salon for an extra boost. Also, have a leave-in conditioner and your sunscreen in your bag so you can apply them whenever necessary.

Tip 4: Don't use a hairdryer

During this season, you probably want to keep your hair as wet as possible to relieve you from the summer heat.

So, it's an opportunity to let your hair as free as possible.

You may not have a perfectly smooth and well-combed result, but it's summer and anything goes! If you follow the previous 3 steps, you won't have a problem with frizz.

You can also include some quality styling products to create various summer looks for your hair.

Tip 5: Use combs with widely spaced teeth to detangle your hair.

Because hair becomes more sensitive and easily damaged during summer, it's best to comb it with a "paddle" or a comb with widely spaced teeth to reduce breakage in the mid-lengths and ends of your hair.

The combing process should be done very carefully!

Tip 6: Only dry the shampoo.

We definitely don't want dry hair, but we also don't want oily or sweaty roots. Always have a dry shampoo handy to spray on your hair's roots whenever you feel you have sweated or if you feel oily.

Tip 7: Protect your hair color.

If you have dyed hair (especially blond), you need to be very careful. You must follow all the above steps to protect your hair, but you should use products specifically for dyed hair. You can discuss with your trusted hair stylist about personalized products you can use if you have dyed hair.

Πριν και Μετά, από μακρυά μαλλιά σε κοντό καρέ!

The short bob haircut has gained significant popularity and has become a must-have haircut for modern women.

The short bob is the most modern and elegant hairstyle for women of all ages, as it adds an undoubtedly classic touch with a hint of freshness to the appearance.

It's no coincidence that very dynamic fashion-forward women, from Coco Chanel to Anna Wintour, are associated with this haircut as their signature style.

Before the 20th century, the overwhelming majority of women wore their hair long but tied up in buns or braids. Long hair was a symbol of femininity, and having short hair was scandalous for the time.

Women began cutting their hair in the early 1920s, a form of social rebellion that helped women take a step closer to gender equality. This marked the creation of the women's hairstyling industry.

While the popularity of the hairstyle has come and gone over the decades, it never truly disappeared. Somehow, it never lost its strong connection to high style and female empowerment.

Despite the public getting used to seeing women with short hair, a modern and contemporary short bob manages to make headlines every year, especially when associated with a globally known celebrity.

The power of the short bob is significant. Historically, the haircut has shown that some men feel threatened by women with short hair, as it is associated with the idea that a woman can assert whatever she sets her mind to.

Although many women have adopted short hairstyles throughout history, the style continues to disrupt dominant, patriarchal beauty ideals in Western society in a way that makes it a symbol of feminist fashion.

We all know that adolescence is a challenging period for both teenagers themselves and their parents. We've been through this phase of life and remember the urge, innocence, and the need to belong to society while also standing out. To be cool.

A characteristic of teenagers is experimenting with different looks, including hair dyeing, but as parents, we often wonder about the safety aspect of it. When is it okay for teenagers to dye their hair, and how can mothers guide them through this process?

(Do you remember the emo culture from previous generations?)

If your child's change in hair doesn't violate school rules and they're between 16 to 18 years old, we suggest experiencing their first hair color change together!

There are many hair colors and dyeing techniques available now, with plenty of choices, but the most important thing is that they're safe for the hair.

If your child wants a drastic change (e.g., from blonde to black), it's good to do some research or even talk to a trusted expert to suggest less damaging alternatives, perhaps opting for a semi-permanent dye or an ammonia-free one.

What we definitely want to avoid is hair damage, so don't let your child change their hair color alone at home. Instead, see it as an opportunity for a mother-daughter bonding experience where you'll spend quality time together and share another first experience with your daughter.

Directly suggest to your child to go to a good salon where their hair will be properly taken care of and they'll receive advice. Explain the risks that may be involved if they attempt such changes at home. The most significant risks are:
