Straighten Hair the Healthy Way

Do you love having straight hair but hate the heat damage that comes with it?  I know I do. I straighten my hair all of the time using heat and now I have split ends. I could have prevented those split ends but also enjoyed beautiful, healthy, hair if I had known this trick. 

Here's what you need: 

1. Straightening Shampoo and Conditioner
2. Large Rollers
3. Roller Clips
4. Straight Hair Spray

Step One: To remove possible frizz and curls, use good quality shampoo that will help with the straightening of the hair.

Step Two: Once you have towel-dried the hair, group it into sections and put it in large rollers. The larger the roller the better. Once the hair is in the rollers, let it dry.

Step Three: Once the hair has completely dried, spray it with hairspray and then take out the rollers.

Healthy Eating Provides Lasting Beauty

   No one wants their skin to be unhealthy, wrinkly, or dry. Yes, the special creams in your bathroom may help this situation to some extent, but I know a way that can improve your skin and cost a whole lot less. It's not a secret; it's a super practical way to get beautiful, healthy, younger-looking skin in no time.

   Eat healthy! Eating healthy will not only make you look better, but it will make you feel better as well. "Good nutrition is a fundamental building block of healthy skin," says Leslie Baumann, MD, a Miami Beach dermatologist. If a dermatologist says it, you better believe it!

   Here is a list of five healthy foods that you might consider purchasing on your next grocery run.

1. Romaine Lettuce -- Six leaves provide more than 100% of your daily value of vitamin A, which revitalizes skin by increasing cell turnover.
2. Tomatoes -- Tomatoes help protect against sunburn and help prevent sagging.
3. Strawberries -- A cup of strawberries has up to 100% of the daily value of vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that boosts production of collagen fibers that help keep skin smooth and firm.
4. Apples -- Quercetin, an antioxidant in the peel of many varieties of apples, provides hefty protection from the "burning" UVB rays that trigger skin cancer.
5. Eggs -- Lutein and zeaxathin, two antioxidants found in eggs, more than quadrupled protection against the UV damage that leads to lines, brown spots, and cancer in one study on women.

2) Keep your hair protected from the sun - Your skin is not the only thing that needs sun protection!! The sun can damage your gorgeous hair by removing the moisture. So next time you spend a while outside, wear a hat. Hats are fun and stylish anyways!
