How to ‘Express‘ yourself with hair Most hair types would require a treatment once a week. Client relations are very important to us at Rainbow Expressions. It‘s so important to communicate and underâ€" stand your needs (whether your wash n‘ go or spend time on your hair). The styling starts when you know who you are styling for. It‘s not just the hair, it‘s the person. Try to help your stylist understand you, please say if you‘ve used someâ€" thing on your hair. Be honest. You are only being unfair to yourself and stylist in the long run and your hair may dry out or not turn out. Your professional stylist should be able to recommend what your hairâ€" type needs. Different hairtypes need different degrees of moisture and proâ€" teins. If you use too much moisture on fine hair, the fiber will go limp. Coarse hair needs mostly moisture for softness. If you use too much protein on coarse hair, it will get coarse. Proteins are great for fine hair because they expel moisture and give hair more body and strength. Professional products use better quality ingredients that are proven to increase hair strength, manageability, and condition. They are more expenâ€" sive to produce but are more concenâ€" trated so you use less. Shampoos and skin cleansers need to be balanced between 4.5â€"5.5. When you add ingredients such as detergents, the alkalinity level rises and is too strong for hair fibre. Alkaline shampoos clean the hair but too well; it ends up stripping the hair. The other problem is waxes and polyâ€" mers building up leaving residues on the hair. Therefore, the light can‘t reflect and the hair Jooks dull.

They also detangle the hair, Comb through your conditioner with a large tooth comb, so it gets through to every hair. Treatments are for treating hair and leaving moisture and protein right in the hair shaft. There are different treatments for strengthening hair, moisturizing hair, or adding proteins.

Irvine is quick to acknowledge that many parents have fewer dollars to spend on their children‘s clothing these days, and that has made them more demanding in terms of value and quality. "We‘ve always carried topâ€"quality merchandise, and most parents are quite prepared to spend a little more as long as they‘re seeing that quality", she notes. "They may be buying fewer outfits overall, but they‘re willing to spend a little more for clothing that‘s going to go the disâ€" tance." For the same reasons of economy and practicality, Irvine says she sees a continuing trend away from fancy party dresses for girls. Instead, more parents are opting for stylish knit skirts teamed with a pretty embroiâ€" dered blouse, a cardigan, or an overâ€" sized sweater. More casual "swing dresses" paired with leggings or tights are also a popular alternative to the Q.EMW rtswear Compan mAfCs?i often expensive party dress which Irvine feels has lost its popularity due to the versatility of separates which can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion.
