How to get a healthy hair. Well first of all, less chemicals, less heat. The more you dye, tint, perm, color, straighten, curl, blow dry the worse the condition your hair is in. Chemicals play with the structure of your hair, heat wears it out.
Hair is dead matter. This means that once your hair has grown out it will stay as it is. We can improve it with products or destroy it with chemicals but the most important thing is to make sure it grows out strong and endurable.
Our hair, nails and skin, our whole physical appearance is a showcase of our inside. If we eat well, exercise, don't stress too much and enjoy life we are more likely to look healthy. Not only do we feel better but we look better as a result. Glowing skin, shiny hair and a smile on our lips. If we do the complete opposite we will have dull skin, lifeless hair and most likely less smiling.
It may seem simple but that's the way things are.
First of all. Eat well, eat moderately, eat healthy, enjoy your food. Add some vitamins to your body.
Secondly. Time management. No stress is the goal and if you can manage your time you will get there. Stay in control.
Exercise. Just a little walk every now and then, some fresh air. You can hear where I'm going can't you?
It all comes down to. Whatever is going on inside shows outside so look after yourself!

Brunettes and Color
Being a hot brunette, especially a fake one involves a lot of work. First of all the color needs a good shampoo and a good conditioner for colored hair to maintain that healthy fabulous look. When the color starts to fade she can use a shampoo and conditioner with color pigments to add that little extra to boost the fading color. When the natural color starts showing close to her scalp she needs more serious work. Of course she wants an even tone all over her hair so she tints only the roots, because if she adds color to her whole hair she will end up with black ends and brown roots. Make sense?
So she adds the color only where needed, the roots, and when the color is processed she quickly rinses her hair so that it is damp all the way through before massaging up a lather from the color. This lather and that last tiny tiny bit of color from the bottle is massaged through her hair and then combed through, then massaged again. It sits for about 5 minutes before she rinse her hair again this time using shampoo and conditioner, for colored hair of course!
Why will the ends be darker if color is added on all the hair instead of only the roots?
If you think about it as simple math. Already dark color+more color=very dark color.
What most people say now is "but my ends are all faded and needs more color" well, do they need as much color as the roots? No they don't, and if they are really faded use a waterbottle to spray the hair after half the processing time and then add color to them. This weakens the color but still allows it to process chemically and therefore touch up.
