Pure & Petal Hair Fragrances

After noticing that hair only retains the fragrance from shampoo for only a short period of time, company founder Elizabeth Pyshnov wanted a way to keep that shower-fresh scent all day. It took a year and a half and over 200 formulations, but the result was a non-weighing alcohol-free and silicone-free fragrance. Recently, Pure & Petal Fragrances have been made available for retail sale in Canadian outlets. Previously only available online, Pure & Petal has expanded sales of its innovative alcohol-free, silicone-free hair fragrances to stores across the country so Canadians can purchase the fragrances locally.

Modern hair cuts are usually short, 1970s

The most modern hair cuts are usually short; the best are those that allow you to take care of your own hair at home. A perfect hair cut is very important: shape is everything and even short hair can appear to have a lot of volume if it's well cut and well combed. Curly hair and weak hair usually look better cut short. It's easier to change hair styles when your hair length is short, and that's one of its biggest pluses."

I am starting to grow my hair out and it's at a difficult in-between stage. Do you have an style ideas?

There's alot of tricks to help you get through that "transition stage". Keep reminding yourself that you want this, and in 6 months to a year you'll have the hairstyle you want!

The best way to manage your style and mix up your look is with cute and funky accessories. Headbands are all the rage at the moment. Pretty pins will also help keep that floppy fringe out of your eyes. Play around to find different ways to pin your hair up and make it look longer.

Even boys can adopt this look. A wide cloth headband worn to hold the hair out of your face.

Scarves are also a very cool way to tie your hair back, and a great style accessory.

Another option is to buy a cool hat and start wearing it all the time to hide your growing out hair. Make it your signature look for this season! Berets and pageboy hats are the favourite with celebrities including Ashley Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

Growing out bangs can be a massive pain, but a secret is to have your stylist angle them. Then as they grow you can brush them to the side as they get longer.
Some hair growing facts and tips:

* Your hair only grows up to 6 inches a year!
* The weather can affect your hair growth- Hair grows quicker in hotter months, and slower during winter.
* Not everyone can grow a head of waist length hair! Fine, thin or severely damaged hair probably won't
grow past a medium length very easily.
* Poor diet and stress may sometimes be a cause of slow hair growth. The healthier you are, the better condition and appearance your hair will have.

If you're ready for the commitment of growing long hair, make sure you continue to have regular trims to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy. It might seem like the quickest way to grow your hair is not to cut it at all, but that is not the case. Regular trims, every 8-10 weeks, will keep your hair looking good while you go through many stages of growing it out.

Also ask your hair stylist to cut your hair to aid the hair growth. For instance, if you're trying to grow out layers, the stylist can cut the back up shorter while waiting for the sides to catch up. If you're trying to grow out bangs, you might end up with a mullet look (longer at the back, shorter at the front), so the stylist can keep the back shorter while the front catches up.

Conservative Hairstyles

Conservative (Traditional or restrained in style).

Many men are still wearing conservative hairstyles. It wears well with the middle-aged male that wants an easy hairstyle and with the likes of Pierce Brosnan, Richard Gere, Mel Gibson and Michael Douglas (just to name a few) it can still transform to a sexy look.

Opt for a short haircut around the sides and the nape areas to give the hair a neat appearance.

Leaving the hair longer layers on top, with textured pieces, will definitely give the hair movement.

Adding color to fine hair will give hair shine and make it appear thicker. For thick hair, added highlights will give the hairstyle a lot of movement.
