If you want to lighten your hair, you should do it consequently. Take small or thick strands of hair which you want to lighten at least 2 shades lighter than the rest of your hair. Highlights should have the color which is close to your natural or artificial color. Don’t light your hair more than 3 shades lighter then the rest of your hair color. People light their hair because they want their hair to be deeper and lighter.
The procedure of highlighting can be conducted at home: 1) Clarify your hair with a shampoo at least two days before coloring. Don’t shampoo your hair on the day you light it. 2) Make sure that the expiration date on the package is not over. 3) Make the mixture and apply it on your hair at once. 4) Use flat 1/2 and 1/4 inch acrylic brushes for good results. 5) Use tight-fitting latex gloves (the ones present in the package are not good enough). 6) To prevent hair smearing you should start the process of lightening from the back of your head to the front part of the head. 7) Lighten only the top layers of your hair and you will have a deep and shiny color.
Read attentively how the procedure of straightening of your curls should be conducted properly: 1) At first you should wash and condition hair. 2) Make sure that you hair is completely dry. To fasten the procedure of drying you can blot hair dry or use a blow-dryer. 3) Divide hair into several parts and clip hair on top of your head. Begin drying from the bottom layers. 4) Brush hair blowing it before straightening. From one strand you should go to another one. 5) All the layers should be dried and straightened. 6) Then you have to curl the ends pulling the ends under with a brush. The procedure should be finished with blowing cool air on your hair using a hairdryer if it is possible.
Straightened hair demands special hair care: 1) You should condition your hair frequently. Sun, cold temperatures and the hair dryer used often are not useful for your hair and can damage it. 2) You should use products specially created for your hair type. 3) Hair should be dried with air frequently, because hair demands a rest. 4) Cut off split ends every six weeks to two months to prevent the further hair shaft.
The procedure of curling depends on some factors such as the length of hair and the number of layers. The more layers your hair has, the more curls and shape it has.
If you have short straight hair you should apply an 1-inch barrel curling iron to your hair and curl hair tucking in the ends. Then put some wax or pomade on both your hands and make curls with your fingers. For the creation of tight curls you should spray a firm hairspray on your curls.
If you have medium or long hair you should create either waves or curls. If you have un-layered straight hair, you can have curls which are flat on the top of your head and very heavy and curly at the bottom. You can create curls during 10 minutes replacing your hair in the hot rollers. If you want to be very curly you should keep your hair in the hot rollers for twenty minutes. After you have placed the hair in hot rollers, spray hairspray on your hair which should be lowered before and gently stroke the ends before you roll your curls. In such a way you’ll have better-defined curls. You may also begin the procedure of rolling 1-inch strands from front to back, then roll your sides and top. 10 minutes afterwards you should take off the rollers. If you want to loosen the curls you should put some BioSilk on your hair which gives shine to your hair. Biosilk should be applied to your curls at the end of the procedure.
If you have medium or long layered hair you should create soft holding curls with a hairspray together with a soft gel or mousse. To get rid of the problem of frizzy hair you should apply some BioSilk to the ends. Finish the procedure spraying hair for an extra shine.
