There are a number of different hair problems that are treated everyday by hairdressers and in more extreme case by dermatologists, to treat hair conditions including dandruff, greasy hair, dry scalp, and hair loss on all types of hair.

Here you’ll find useful details on the causes of such hair problems and how you can help prevent or cure them:

Dandruff

Although the shedding of dead skin cells from your scalp is normal within the growing process of the cells,

sometimes it can happen at an excessive rate and this is what’s commonly known as dandruff. This hair problem

can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, age or race, and it is worth pointing out here that dandruff has

nothing to do with bad hair care.

There are several causes for dandruff, such as stress, bad nutrition, and lack of rest. In most cases dandruff

is worst during cold winters and less of a problem during the summer months. Although there is no cure for

dandruff, you can control it by using the Scalptherapie anti-dandruff shampoo and cleansing treatments.

Hair loss

It may be more commonly associated with aging men, but hair loss is also a problem for some women. On

average, hair grows half an inch per month and will grow for two to six years, then enter a period of rest before

falling out. Shortly after the hair loss, a new hair begins to grow in the empty spot. Hair loss or baldness occurs

when a new hair doesn’t grow after the original hair falls out. There are several reasons why women suffer hair

loss, including a change in hormones and stress. There is no shampoo on the market that can stop or prevent

male pattern baldness despite the claims.

Dry Scalp

Particularly a problem in winter or colder climates where people move in and out of heated areas frequently. A

dry scalp is caused when the skin becomes tight and itchy and tiny flakes of dead skin come away when combing

or brushing the hair.

Many dry scalp conditions are misidentified as dandruff, and are treated as such, which can actually worsen the

condition. However, there are many hairdressing and hair care products available today, such as Cooling Mint

Shampoo and Conditioner from the Scalptherapie range, these invigorate the scalp and hair, whilst moisturising

the dry scalp.

Oily Scalp

Probably the most common hair or scalp problem, oily scalp conditions are difficult to deal with particularly if you

have long hair. For most people, treating an oily scalp leaves their hair looking dry but if they use conditioner

to put moisture back into the hair it causes the scalp to go oily once again. This problem can be resolved by

adjusting the hair treatment routine. For example, only use shampoo at the scalp and apply conditioner just to the

ends of your hair.

Unlike other products available on the market, such as creme relaxers or the
Japanese straightening system, La-Brasiliana Keratin treatment with Collagen
replenishes the condition of the hair without damage or change to the molecular
structure. The treatment can be used on all hair types such as chemically treated
hair, coloured, permed, relaxed, straightened, highlighted, and bleached hair.

The application process takes anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours depending on the length
and thickness of the hair. After application of the product, it is infused with a ceramic
iron, which seals in moisture, hydrates the hair, and creates a glossy finish. Results
are visible immediately after treatment is completed. Clients will be amazed to say
the least!

Management of hair after La-Brasiliana Keratin Treatment with Collagen is effortless.
The amount of time required to style hair will decrease dramatically. This treatment
restores the hairs resiliency. Humidity, rain, or perspiration will no longer affect the
hairstyle.

No more frizzy hair!

The results last two to four months; the treatment dissipates gradually as hair is
shampooed. As clients repeat the treatment every two to four months, they will be
able to observe a continuous improvement of their hair.

If you have Afro hair or your hair is curly and you wear it curly, use a Hydratherapie shampoo and conditioner

leave in Hydra-Seal Softening Mist and detangle your hair with your fingers, before styling.

However, if your hair is wavy, use a Smooth therapie shampoo and conditioner, but make sure you rinse your

hair well. After washing your hair, smooth and separate wet strands with a wide-tooth comb, then work through

Deep Smoothing Leave-in Cream from ends to roots. For the best results, dry your hair using a hairdryer with a

tapered nozzle to direct air down the hair shaft and seal the cuticle.

hair. You could also use a Full-Lift spray-in Volumizer to blow-dry with as it creates lift and all-over fullness, for

that all-day lift.

different hairstyles will look better on some people than others. To help you choose the best hairstyle for you,

here Barnets will give you the low down on the kind of styles that are best suited your face shape:

Oval

Narrow and softly pointed chin, forehead is wider than chin; cheekbones are dominant feature and face

tapers gracefully from cheekbone to chin.

This is the most perfect shaped face you can have where hairstyles are concerned because almost every style

works for you. If you have an oval face, you have what is generally considered as a balanced face, so choose a

style you like, long or short, and use your hair cut and colour to bring out your best facial features.

Square

Wide forehead and square jaw line, both forehead and jaw line are wide and square, cheekbones and

jawline are same width, hairline usually straight

As the oval face is considered to be the perfect shape, this is the shape you are trying to create. If you have a

square face then longer hair falling past your shoulders will suit you best. To bring out your best features have

some soft layers cut into your hair and a long fringe around the temples. Even when your hair is tied back, leave

wisps around the face to soften your look and make your face look more oval.

Long and rectangular

Greater length in proportion to width, Long and narrow, this face shape generally has a high forehead,

straight cheekbones and a long narrow bone structure.

To make a rectangular or long face look closer to the perfect oval shape, go for width by shortening the face with

a fringe just touching the eyebrows. Alternatively, you could try a side parting that sweeps across the face. It is

also worth keeping longer styles just above the shoulders to avoid 'dragging' your face down, although shorter

shapes make the face look wider.

Round

Broader in proportion to its length, oval rounded chin and hairline, cheeks and jaw are the same width,

lines of the face are curved with the width at the cheek below the cheek bones, and hair line is wide and

round.

If you have a round face then you’ll want to slim it down at the sides by keeping the sides close to your face and

going for height on the top, which will lengthen the appearance of the face. In addition, hair brought forward onto

the face in soft wisps is flattering with shorter styles.

Heart–shaped face

Wide forehead and narrow pointed chin, wide at the forehead with high cheekbones, tapering to a narrow

jawline and chin, chin is generally V-shaped

The best way to achieve a more oval looking face here is to create width around the chin. Perhaps you could try

your hair at shoulder length and go for fullness from the chin down and have a side parting with the hair drawn

across on a slant.

Using Colour to enhance or balance your face shape

Light colours enlarge or enhance.

They give the illusion that something is bigger. Light colours will draw the viewer’s eye to the light areas and

away from the deeper area. Lightness adds height, width or bulk and emphasizes areas.

Dark colours diminish or minimise.

They cause an area to look smaller, minimising it by drawing the eye away from it. Deeper colours diminish

height, width and bulk, whilst softening or defining an area.

So by bespoking your colour at Barnets you can balance out your face shape and profile using different colour

techniques.
