Get Your Best Hair Ever

Using Tips and Ideas That Produce Results Some Swear Are Just Short Of Miraculous

Have you ever wondered why some have that just stepped out of the salon look all the time? Sporting stylish, shiny, sexy tresses no matter what the weather.  While others, maybe even you, seem to go through life with lifeless, frizzy, or bone dry locks that are impossible to work with.

What do some know that you don’t?

Can you really achieve great looking hair in YOUR bathroom?

Are there really easy breezy things anyone can do to get the look they want without a lot of fuss?

There are.  And Terrific Tresses is all about providing you with more tips and techniques for a great looking mane than you will ever know what to do with. Ideas that work so well you’ll almost swear it’s a miracle.

Got hair that is less shiny than you’d like?  Help awaits.

Questions about conditioning?  Yeah you really want to know how to do this right.

Unruly curls?  They can be a headache, can’t they?  But they are surprisingly tamable. If you know how.

And I’ll bet you’ve gone some questions about hair coloring on your mind too, now don’t you?  Everything thing from minimizing color fade, to root touch up, to how to do highlights right.

We’re all about helping you get the hair you want with the hair you have.

So what is it you want?  Sleek and straight?  Curls to die for?  Stylish blow out full of head turning potential?  No problem.

You see no one should have to settle for hair they don’t love.  With tons of new styling products and tools, anyone can take advantage of advances in hair care to finally get the mane of their dreams.  Or a look that will turn heads and draw attention just like the sleek and sexy locks do that you see gracing the red carpet.

Plus if you lust after luster, and who doesn’t, you’ll find plenty of help in the shiny hair tips aisle too.  Keeping in mind that there’s nothing like a blast of cold air or cold water to contract those cuticles and lock in a glossy shine.  You see when those cuticles are locked down tight they can best reflect the most light possible and we both know more reflected light means more dazzling gloss.  I know asking you to douse your hair with icy cold water after a nice cozy shower is asking a lot.  Still…that trick works even better when you unleash the cold shot button on your blow dryer to wrap up your morning hair care routine.

Oh yeah and talking about curls, (well we were a few secs ago) remember that mom was right.  After you’ve applied your fav styling products of choice, take the hands off oath.  That is don’t touch.  And if you think about it this makes perfect sense.  The heat and moisture given off by your hands and fingers even is enough to bring out the frizz in those curls sometimes.  And we don’t want that, now do we?

When it comes to color, did you know those in the know strongly suggest you adjust on the fly to match the season?  Well they do.  The idea is to lightening things up from mid spring to mid fall.  Reason being you’ll be getting more sun, more skin will take on a warmer, more golden appearance, and so the time is right to lighten just a bit.  Even just working in sun kissed highlights can achieve the look you seek. Then reverse course as the winter season closes in.  Slightly darker hair colors will work better with your paler winter solstice skin tones.

Finally here are three parting tips your gorgeous hair can live by.  One, always use a wide tooth comb to detangle.  two, even hair from heads with an oily scalp could benefit from moisturing, and three don’t feel compelled to shampoo every day.

Anyway, take your time and browse this site.  You will find there are plenty of good ideas to go around.  Surprising ideas.  Tips every one of us needs to heed.  And while it may be true that glamour is more a confidence thing than a hair thing, having great looking hair can be a sure fire confidence boost.
