Hair is Important, Inner Beauty Much More so!

Linda was a well dressed businesswoman with extremely beautiful jet-black hair. Her hair was her best asset and she knew it. She would often spend hours styling it, making sure it looked perfect for her important meetings. Whenever she entered the office, everyone would stare and admire her astounding beauty. She would greet them all with a warm smile as she walked past. 

Linda may have been beautiful on the outside but unknown to everyone, she was far from beautiful on the inside. She was manipulative and selfish, always looking out for her own interests. Often she would take credit for other people’s work and backstab her colleagues to get ahead. Eventually, everyone started to see her true image as many of them had become victims of her ill deeds. She could no longer hide.  

Nobody wanted to be around her with her very ugly personality. Linda’s hair and good looks were now the only qualities she had going for her. She was so mean and bitter, that eventually even her outer beauty began to fade. Everyone was talking about her and soon enough referred to her as “The Wicked Witch of the West”.

True Beauty – You are More than your Hair 

Within the beauty industry, it is often said that hair is a person’s Crowning Glory. Your hair is one of the first things that people will notice about you, so it is important to make sure that it always looks its best. However, your hair is not the only thing that people will notice. They will also take into account your overall appearance and demeanour. You must have a well groomed appearance paired with being respectful, honest, fair and just towards others.

Appropriate Hairstyles for Business

While you might be tempted to style your hair in the latest trend or cut, it’s important to remember that not all hairstyles are appropriate for the workplace. In fact, certain hairstyles can actually hinder your professional success. 

Here are some tips on how you can style your hair for the office:

• Keep it simple: When it comes to business, less is often more. When choosing a hairstyle for work, opt for a simple style that won’t draw too much attention. A clean cut or well-groomed style will convey professionalism and competence. 
• Avoid extremes: While you might like the way you look with a new extreme haircut or colour, these styles can be seen as unprofessional in the workplace. If you’re looking to make a good impression on clients or customers, it’s best to avoid any extreme styles. 
• Pay attention to grooming: Even if you have a simple hairstyle, it’s important to groom your hair regularly. This means combing it every day, getting trims as needed, and using products to keep your hair healthy and styled. 
• Consider your industry: When you’re looking for the perfect hairstyle, it’s important to consider your industry. For example, if you work in a creative field, you might be able to get away with a more unique hairstyle than someone who works in a traditional office setting. 

How to Maintain Healthy Hair

Your hair is one of the first things people notice about you, so it’s important to make sure it looks its best. Unfortunately, maintaining healthy hair can be difficult, especially if you don’t have a lot of time. However, these few simple tips can help you along your way:

1. Keep your hair clean – This may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s important to shampoo and condition your hair regularly to prevent build-up from things like product residue and dirt. If your hair is on the oily side, you may need to shampoo more often than those with dryer hair types. Be sure to use a conditioner that’s appropriate for your hair type – this will help keep your hair hydrated and prevent breakage.
2. Protect your hair from heat damage – If you’re someone who uses heat styling tools on a daily basis, it’s important to take measures to protect your hair from damage. Invest in a good quality heat protectant spray and be sure to use it before blowing out or flat ironing your hair. You should also try to minimise the use of heat styling tools as much as possible and let your hair air dry whenever possible.
3. Stay hydrated – Drinking plenty of water is good for your overall health, but it’s also crucial for keeping your hair healthy and hydrated. When your body is properly hydrated, it’s able to better nourish your scalp and promote healthy hair growth. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day and try to avoid sugary drinks like soda which can lead to dehydration.
4. Eat a balanced diet – What you put into your body has a direct impact on the health of your hair (and skin). Be sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources like chicken and fish which are all essential for maintaining healthy hair. This will nourish your scalp and follicles from the inside out.

By following these simple tips, you can help keep your hair healthy and looking its best – even when you’re spending most of your time in the office. Just remember to shampoo regularly, protect your strands from heat damage, stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet full of essential nutrients. Your hair will surely thank you!

Treating Hair Loss

There are a number of different factors that can contribute to hair loss. One of the most common is genetics. If you have a family history of hair loss, chances are you’ll eventually start to lose your hair as well. Other factors that can contribute to hair loss include stress, illness, nutrient deficiencies, and certain medications.

Despite what you may have seen in ads or on social media, there is no “magic bullet” solution for hair loss. However, there are some things you can do to slow down or stop the progression of hair loss. For example, if you think your problem might be caused by a nutrient deficiency, you can try taking supplements or eating foods that are rich in those nutrients. If stress is contributing to your hair loss, you can try relaxation techniques like meditation. Finally, if you’re taking medication that might be causing hair loss, talk to your doctor about switching to a different medication.

How to Deal with Different Hair Types

While all hair types require some basic element of care (i.e shampooing, conditioning and styling), each type of hair also has its unique needs. For example, straight hair may be more prone to oiliness and scalp build-up, while curly hair may require more hydration to prevent frizz. It is imperative that you know the needs of your hair type, so that you can manage it well.

Straight Hair – One of the biggest concerns with straight hair is oiliness and scalp build-up. Be sure to use a clarifying shampoo at least once a week, to remove any excess oil or products that may have accumulated on the scalp. It’s also advisable to use a light conditioner to avoid weighing it down. When styling, be sure to use products that will protect it from heat damage. 

Wavy Hair – Wavy hair is generally somewhere in between straight and curly hair in terms of texture. This type of hair tends to be fairly easy to manage but still requires some special care. Wavy hair should be shampooed and conditioned regularly using products that are specifically designed for this type of hair. When styling your hair, look for products that will add definition and hold without making the waves appear crunchy or stiff. 

Curly Hair – Curly hair is often thought of as being high maintenance but with the right products and techniques, it can be quite easy to manage. Curly hair should be shampooed and conditioned regularly using products that are specifically designed for this type of hair. It’s also important to use a leave-in conditioner to help hydrate and detangle the strands. When styling this type of hair, look for products that will add definition and hold without making the curls appear crunchy or stiff. 

Coily Hair – Coily hair is naturally curly or kinky. It is also often referred to as Afro-textured hair. This type of hair is prone to breakage and dryness, so it’s important to use a shampoo that won’t strip it of its natural oils. It’s important to regularly moisturise your strands. This will help to prevent frizz and make your coils look shiny and healthy. Be sure to use a lightweight moisturiser so that your hair doesn’t appear greasy or oily. To combat shrinkage, try using products that contain glycerin or silicon dioxide. These ingredients can help to stretch out your coils, giving you the appearance of longer, fuller hair.

When it comes to beauty and professionalism, well groomed hair does play a very big role. However, beauty is not only represented by the way we present ourselves physically, it is also more than skin deep. This means being kind and compassionate towards others, working hard to achieve our goals, and living our lives with integrity. By embracing all aspects of our being, we will truly shine.
