Japanese Hair Styles of the Week

ADVERTISEMENTS

Styling Tips for long hair:

Step 1. Blow-dry your hair with your head upside down to achieve maximum volume on the roots. Don't use any product, you just want to get the dampness out.

Step 2. When your hair is almost dry, add a good amount of wax all the way through the roots to the ends. Keep your head upside down when applying it. This will encourage volume at the root were you want it, and it will allow you to separate pieces of hair where desired.

Step 3. Put your head right side up and blow dry with your hands. Using your fingers as a big pick will give your hair the tossled look you want.

Step 4. After you have achieved the desired texture and deliberate disheveled look, add a dime of pomade for shine and light definition.

Point to remember:

There is no such thing as black henna. In order to make henna produce a black color, chemicals are added that are unsafe for your skin. Black henna should be avoided.
Always use protective plastic gloves always, as the color will discolor your hands. The paste will also discolor your clothing, towels etc., so take necessary precautions.
Permit the henna paste to settle on your hair for at least couple of hours. The duration of time necessary for coloring is dependent upon your hair type. If your hair gets the color very fast, it will be colored in about 40 minutes.
When the paste has been on your hair for the required length of time, rinse it carefully. Rinse until the water is clear.
Repeat applications of your henna and indigo will deepen the color results over time.
