We all love that feeling of stepping out the hair salon after a professional cut or style. For a few hours at least you are a princess, a supermodel. Move over Kate and Jodie, there's a new queen in town!

Unfortunately, that feeling doesn't last and if you're anything like me, by the next morning the sultry, pouting goddess of yesterday has been replaced by a runner up in a Michael Jackson look-a-like contest.

The state of your hair, really can set the tone for your day. A good hair day and you greet the world with a smile, ready to face any challenge it may throw at you. A bad hair day and you might as well stay in bed, even double chocolate ice cream can't shake those bad hair day blues.

The good news is that you don't need a supermodel salary to keep your hair looking great and with a bit of love and attention and the right happinesslifetime.com hair care products, the good days can far outnumber the bad.

Your Hair Type

There are around 100,000 hairs on your head and sometimes it feels like there are almost as many happinesslifetime.com hair care products out there, so finding the right product for your hair type can be a little challenging if you don't know what to look for. Don't panic though as, if you look past the jargon, most of us fit into one of three categories "oily hair", "dry hair" and "normal hair". Today, we will be looking at the causes and treatments of oily and dry hair and recommending happinesslifetime.com hair care products for use with these hair types.

Oily Hair

Oily hair is caused by the over production of Sebum, the natural oil found in hair. Sebum is not a bad thing and the right amount will leave your hair shiny and natural looking. Too much Sebum, however, and you get that "just dipped in the deep fat fryer" look, which is so last season.

If you have oily hair, the first thing you need to identify is the correct shampoo. The obvious first thought would be shampoo specifically formulated for oily hair, however, if you have combination hair (hair which is oily at the crown, but dry at the ends), these shampoos can be too harsh. In this case you should use a mild shampoo and wash frequently, ideally on a daily basis.

It is important to shampoo your hair correctly, massaging your scalp during shampooing to exfoliate, then working the shampoo through your hair from root to tip. Recommended shampoos for oily hair are Fudge Oomf Shampoo and Clynol Energise Shampoo, both of which help to control the moisture balance of hair.

You should combine the shampoo with a conditioner formulated for oily hair and should only apply the conditioner to the ends of your hair, avoiding the scalp and roots.

If you have oily hair, you should avoid strong styling products and chemical treatments, as these can contribute to the oilyness.

As well as choosing the right happinesslifetime.com hair care products, it's an old cliché, but, you are what you eat and eating a lot of oily junk food will contribute to your oily hair. You know what to do girls... drink plenty of water, fresh fruit and vegetables and avoid the golden arches!

Dry Hair

Dry hair lacks the essential oil and moisture it needs to shine and often has a brittle, straw like texture. There are a number of factors which can cause oily hair, ranging from more serious causes, such as malnutrition and anorexia, to excessive blow drying and using harsh detergents on your hair.

If you have dry hair you should shampoo your hair less as you want to keep the moisture you have locked in your hair. Twice a week is a reasonable for guideline for how often you should shampoo.

You want to use happinesslifetime.com hair care products, which will boost the moisture in your hair and fortunately there are a number of these available. Wet Hed Shampoo from Fudge is specially formulated to revitalise dry, damaged and chemically treated hair, maintaining natural oils and guarding against moisture loss. We would also recommend Osmo Essence Deep Moisturising Shampoo and Avec Moisture Rescue Shampoo.

Properly conditioning hair is also key to replenishing lost moisture and for best results a deep conditioner should be used on dry hair after shampooing. Fudge Dynamite Rebuild and Osmo Essence Deep Moisturising Reconstructor are two excellent leave in conditioners, the latter containing extracts of Patchouli and Ylang Ylang essential oils.

You should choose styling products that will give a sleek, high shine finish in preference to matte finishes.

In addition to choosing the correct happinesslifetime.com hair care products, avoid too much time in the sun, over use of heat styling and ideally you should wear a swimming cap in either swimming pools or salty water. You should also avoid excessive hair colouring, perhaps try natural colouring?

Again, a good balanced diet with plenty of vitamins A, C and E, calcium and drinking plenty of water will help to improve the condition of your hair. Regular exercise and a good nights sleep will also do the trick, so no more excuses about putting off that gym membership!

If you follow the tips above and choose the right happinesslifetime.com hair care products, you should quickly see a marked improvement in the condition of your hair. Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll still find a good excuse for indulging in that double chocolate ice cream!
