Saveti za negu kose

Svakodnevno pranje kose, feniranje, povremena upotreba boje za kosu i oblikovanje frizure, postepeno slabi i isušuje kosu. Upravo je iz tog razloga bitna pravilna nega kose.

Nega kose danas ne predstavlja nikakvu  filozofiju niti problem, jer se iz dana u dan na tržištu pojavljuju kvalitetni preparati za negu kose po pristupačnim cenama.

 

Frizeri preporučuju šišanje svaka tri meseca, da bi krajevi uvek bili zdravi.
Prilikom feniranja bi trebalo da stavite neki preparat za negu kose koji se razvija pod uticajem toplote i štiti kosu.
Ako ne idete često kod frizera, preporučuju se preparati za negu kose poput pakovanja, seruma ili ampula. Dovoljno je da ih koristite jednom nedeljno, a vaša kosa će vam reći hvala.

Dobra su i pakovanja u spreju, ali ona koja se ne ispiraju. Suv vazduh isušuje kosu, kao i smog, vetar, dim…zato bi bar jednom nedeljno trebalo koristiti neki šampon koji dubinski čisti kosu i skalp. Ovakvi preparati za negu kose su obično dostupni u frizerskim salonima, pa ćete ih teško naći u slobodnoj prodaji i nekoj od parfimerija. Ukoliko kosu perete svakodnevno ili više puta nedeljno, odaberite neki blaži šampon koji je namenjen vašem tipu kose.

Nega kosa je veoma bitna, pogotovo ako se farbate. Postoji veliki izbor preparata i kolekcija za negu kose. Bilo bi dobro da se opredelite ta jednu robnu marku, jer su preparati uglavnom pravljeni tako da dobro funkcionišu u kombinaciji, na primer šampon i balsam za kosu, kao i preparati za negu kose posle pranja.

 

Nega kose ne podrazumeva samo pranje i upotrebu adekvatnih preparata, već i način života, kao i ishranu. Evo nekoliko saveta:

Masirajte teme – Masaža temena nedeljno pojačava cirkulaciju. Teme i potiljak možete izmasirati pred sam polazak na spavanje, kružnim pokretima, a masažu uvek možete primeniti tokom pranja kose.

Promenite češalj – Koristite češalj sa širokim zupcima ili četku od prirodne dlake.

Ručno sušite kosu – Blago obrišite kosu peškirom, nikako je nemojte trljati. Pokušajte da peškirom upijete što vise vode pre nego što počnete sa sušenjem fenom.

Izbegavajte vlažno češljanje – Izbegavajte da češljate kosu dok je vlažna, jer se tako vlas čupa iz korena.

Ne zatežite kosu – Pokušajte da ne zatežete kosu previše. Tako stegnuta kosa ne može da diše, što dovodi do opadanja i pucanja vlasi.

Nega kose na suncu – Pokušajte da kosu što manje izlažete suncu. Šešir ili ešarpa u tom slučaju mogu biti od pomoći.

Hranite se zdravo i dobro spavajte – Smanjite unošenje kofeina, alkohola, šećera I nikotina, a povećajte unos svežeg voća i povrća. Redovan san prija čitavom organizmu pa tako i kosi.

 

Nega kose

Osvežite kosu prirodnim hranljivim sastojcima, bojama za kosu i vaša kosa će biti sjajna, bujna, meka i što je najbitnije zdrava.
Hranljivo pakovanje za sve tipove kose: 2 žumanceta, nekoliko kašika ricinusovog ulja, kapi od koprive, 1 kašika šampona. Utrljajte u koren i na celu dužinu i ostavite da stoji na glavi što duže, a zatim isperite mlakom vodom.

Prirodan recept za sve one koje muči perut: Jedan dan pre pranja kose glavu je potrebno natrljati salicilnim uljem (100 g ricinusovog ulja sa 10 g salicila) Trlja se koža glave, ne kosa. Bilo bi dobro ostaviti celu noć da stoji na glavi pa ujutru isprati.

 

Farbana kosa: Ukoliko ne želite da uništite kosu, koristite kvalitetne farbe i po mogućstvu hidrogen iz iste kolekcije. Negujte kosu za vreme godišnjih odmora koristeći preparate koji sadrže UV filter, da bi kosu sačuvali od soli, sunca i hlora, da bi boja bila postojanija. Takođe čuvajte boju kose preparatima za negu kose.

Kosu sušite uvek mlakim vazduhom iz fena ne vrućim, jer topao vazduh podstiče da koren luči loj, pa će kosa biti masnija. Podignite kosu četkom od korena i tako je fenirajte, usmeravajući topao vazduh prema korenu. Tako ćete sprečiti da frizura brzo splasne i da izgleda masno.

YOUR BEST HAIR COLOR

Hair color (nega kose) doesn’t have to be done in a fancy salon. Experts help you find the best hair color (boje za kosu) for your at-home salon

If you’ve sprouted a few grays while navigating the hair-color aisle, it’s no wonder. With dozens of choices and brands, finding your perfect match can be exasperating. One common land mine: “Many women choose haircolor that doesn’t complement their skin tone,” says Michael Canale, a colorist in Los Angeles. And because your hair is right next to your face, the wrong hue can make skin look drab and older. Not acceptable! Follow these easy expert tips and you’ll have it made in the shade. (A word to the wise: Don’t attempt to go more than two shades lighter or darker at home; drastic changes require the skills of a pro!)

Step 1: Figure out your commitment level.

You can immediately narrow the field by deciding how different you want your hair to look—and how much time (and cash!) you’re willing to devote to color maintenance.

For a can’t-be-missed change: Try a permanent color when you want to go up to two shades lighter or darker, says Clairol color director and New York City salon owner Marie Robinson. These formulas are also your best bet if you have lots of dye-resistant grays. Permanent dyes require a bit of work, though: Since they grow out instead of fading, you’ll likely need to do monthly touch-ups to conceal root regrowth.

For a subtle pick-me-up and extra shine: Opt for a demi-permanent formula. These shades fade slightly each time you shampoo and completely wash out in about 28 shampoos, leaving no roots. Experts say this type is a great choice for those looking to minimize damage or to simply enhance their natural color (for example, if brassiness is peeking through your brown strands, a demi will cover it up). One caveat: These formulas really only work for those wanting to go darker, says Robinson. Because they don’t contain ammonia, they won’t lighten your current hue. And you’ll have to reapply it monthly to maintain the look.

For a noticeable enhancement with few strings: Try highlights. They’re spread out over your head, so they grow out without showing a distinct line of demarcation at the roots. “Highlights are great for those who want to color once every three months,” says New York City salon owner Rita Hazan. They require less commitment and enhance your natural color, she adds. One drawback: At-home kits don’t work well on very dark hair, which requires a higher level of lightening, says Johnathan Gale, a colorist in Los Angeles. For you, a salon trip is in order.

Step 2: Determine your skin tone.

To find the shade that will bring out the best in your complexion, you need to know your undertones. How to uncover them:

If you’re going for allover color: Put on a white shirt, remove all traces of makeup, and drape a white towel over your hair. Stand in front of a well-lit mirror and take a good look. If your face looks pink or red, you’ve got cool undertones. See peach, olive, or gold? You’re warm. If obvious colors aren’t glaring back at you, or if you have hints of both, you’re neutral.

If you’re doing highlights only: Peek at the flecks in your eyes to determine the streak hue that’ll draw attention to them, says Canale. Ifyours have hints of gold or amber, they’re warm. If you see blue, silver, or gray, or if you have brown eyes with no flecks at all, they’re cool. Experts say that while eyes alone can guide your streaks, your skin should always dictate your overall color (a helpful tip for those with warm eyes and cool skin…or vice versa!).

Step 3: Start shopping!

In the store, opt for colors close to what nature gave you, then look for certain keywords for a face-flattering match.

For cool skin tones: Aim for ash or neutral shades (you’ll see the letter A or N on the box). These lack red or gold tones and counteract pinkness in your skin, says Robinson. Blondes should look for color descriptions like champagne or beige; brunettes can hunt for chocolate or espresso hues. Dying to go red? Steer clear of copper or cherry descriptions and go for a medium auburn: This brownish red will give contrast to rosy skin, not match it. Try L’Oreal Paris Sublime Mousse by Healthy Look in Spicy Auburn Brown ($10, at drugstores).

For warm skin tones: Give your complexion a healthy, natural flush by adding golden or reddish tones to your hair (look for G or R), advises Hazan. Blonde shades in this color family include honey, strawberry, and copper; brunettes should try golden brown, chestnut, or mahogany. Try John Frieda Precision Foam Color in Deep Cherry Brown ($13, at Target).

For neutral skin tones: Middle-of-the-road skin gives you more leeway to be a color chameleon, and you can choose a shade based on preference, says Hazan. (Just take some inspiration from famous neutral girls Drew Barrymore and Leighton Meester!) Go for a look that best fits your personality and upkeep level.

Finding your highlight hue: If your eyes are warm, weave in a similar tone like butterscotch, toffee, or copper to make your peepers pop. Platinum and auburn shades flatter cool eyes. Look for a permanent formula like Couture Color Luxeblend Ammonia-Free Creme Hair Colour ($30, couturecolour.com); the brush inside helps you target specific areas (rather than your whole head) for a natural, sun-kissed effect.
