Quick and Easy Hairstyles for Active Ladies

Quick and Easy Hairstyles for Active Ladies

Whether you are playing a sport or working out at the gym, figuring out what to do with your hair can be a pain in the neck. Here a few quick styles that will work for any active woman.

  1. Some up and some down ponytail. Take the top part of your hair and secure it with a clip while leaving the rest down in the back.
  2. French Braid. You can braid one straight down your head or do one on each side of the head. Secure the braid with a hairband.
  3. Braided Bun. Create a messy bun and leave one piece of hair out. Braid the piece of hair and then wrap it around the bun and secure it with a headband.
  4. Fishtail Braid. Separate your hair into two even sections. Take a portion from the left and bring it to the right; then take a portion from the right and bring it to the left. Continue alternating until you reach the end and secure with a hairband.

Black Hair Growth: Don’t Forget the Vitamin D

Serena Williams Hair

Healthy hair growth always seems to be a hot topic among black women. We all seem to know the basics: eat right, massage the scalp and keep heat styling to a minimum. However, there’s smaller tips and tricks that shouldn’t be ignored either.

Never forget that it may not seem like it, but your hair is in fact always growing. It’s things such as breakage and hair thinning that can make it seem like your tresses are constantly remaining in the same state. A lesser known cause for hair thinning is a deficiency of Vitamin D. Sadly, studies are showing more and more than many suffer from a Vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D has a direct baring on hair growth. If you fail to take in enough Vitamin D, your hair growth may become stunted and hair shedding will increase. So then, do not stunt the growth of your locks by forgetting the Vitamin D.

Not Sure How to Get Your Vitamin D? Of course you can get the majority of what you need from our wonderful sun up in the sky. Nevertheless, the rest can be consumed through the foods that you eat.

Woman Brushing Hair

Dandruff can be quite the embarrassing pest, but have no fear you can conquer this hair woe. If you are noticing that shampooing with any regular shampoo isn’t doing the trick anymore, it is time to move on to anti-dandruff shampoos. However, not all anti-dandruff shampoos are created equal, the ingredients listed on the back of any product bottle will clue you in to what is best. When shopping for an anti-dandruff shampoo look for a product that contains one of the following:

  • Selenium sulfide
  • Ketoconazole
  • Salicylic Acid
  • Zinc Pyrithione

These ingredients help to stop and prevent flakes from becoming out of control. Nevertheless, you should never forget that your scalp can eventually become immune to a shampoo’s effect over time. Therefore, it is highly recommended rotate your preferred brands at least once a month.

Coachella  is a musical festival that highlights not only amazing up and coming artists, but today’s most popular established chart toppers as well. Therefore, it was fitting that flamboyant songstress, Solange, take to the stage and was even joined by her mega pop star sister, Beyonce. While everyone focused in on the music, we zoomed in on their luscious locks of hair.

Big hair don’t care was in full in effect as the sisters shook and gyrated while swinging their curly locks to Solange’s song, Losing You. Beyonce swung her trademark blonde hair and Solange’s tresses was a la Diana Ross. If you plan on stealing a page from these ladies’ style book, be sure to keep your strands well moisturized. Curly hair tends to be drier and needs hydration to stay looking fresh and beautiful. Beyonce and Solange performed together at Coachella at the Empire Polo Club on April 12 in Indio, California.
