The Solution to Four Common Hair Problems

Hair problems happen, you know it’s true, and you’re here looking into some of the most common solutions. We can’t say we know what you’re going through exactly, but we can say that we’ve seen almost all of the possible problems, and we’re well equipped to handle them. There are as many problems as there are people in the world, and they don’t all call for the ionic ceramic flat iron. Some of them are simply going to call for you to break out a few of the solutions that we’re going to list for you below. Let’s start with some of the most obvious.

Limp Hair
The Ceramic Flat Iron Won’t Help with This One
This is something that will happen if a person has thin hair and they’re using too much product. This, unfortunately, adds weight to the hair, so pay attention to what you’re using, and use a clarifying shampoo at least once per week to get rid of the product buildup. In addition to that, you need to make sure that you’re reducing oil on the scalp. One of the other tricks that you can use, is to apply conditioner to the roots of your hair rather than the scalp.

Fix the Frizzy Hair
If you have a problem with frizzy hair, there are a few different items that could have led to it. For example, they might bovver-styling (Cockney slang for bother. I would interpret as rough-drying) and drying their hair using a higher heat setting. You will need to figure out how to use a blow dryer properly, which means pointing it down at the hair shaft. At the end, use the cool air setting to close the cuticle and lock in the shine. It’s an extra step, but it’s well worth it to get the hair you want – without the frizz.

Clear out that Greasy Hair
This is probably one of the biggest hair problems that people will face, and it can definitely become more than a bit frustrating. The first thing that you need to know, is that greasy hair is most often caused when the scalp overproduces a natural oil by the name of sebum. This is where it gets a little tricky because you would think that washing your hair would get rid of the grease. Actually, you want to skip a few washes as this will help to slow down oil production. In between washes, you can keep your hair in good shape by using a dry shampoo or conditioner. You can also use powder products that will soak up excess oil, and when you’re ready to wash, use a light weight shampoo.

Those Pesky Split Ends
If you’re a regular user of ceramic irons, then there is a good chance that you’ve been warned about split ends. Well, yours might not actually be caused by your flat iron. In fact, they can be caused by over-processing and even over-styling. Your dead hair cannot repair itself, so if you have a split end, it’s just going to travel further up the shaft, and if you’re dealing with split ends on a regular basis, then you should consider getting a regular trim. In fact, you should do it every six to eight weeks, combining that with a deep conditioner at least once per week. You may need to do a bit more upkeep, but it’s well worth it. As you can see, there are quite a few hair problems to consider, and if you’re dealing with any of these, then it would be within your best interest to figure out how to solve it and most importantly, how to do it right.
