Bad Hair Day

There's a difference between having a bad hair day and making a bad hair decision. Every woman has a bad hair day. In fact, according to a recent poll of two thousand women, the average woman claims a bad hair day two to three times per week. That’s over a hundred bad hair days per year!

From frizzy, out of control waves, to limp, lifeless manes, bad hair days can strike at any time. Afternoons in the sun with high temperatures or high humidity can damage your hair, as can chlorinated water in a swimming pool or using the wrong hair care products.

Mark Hill, hairdresser to the stars, said: “It is incredible the impact bad hair can have on the day ahead. Women feel like entirely different people when their hair won’t behave. Having flat, unmanageable tresses can make women feel tired, grumpy and less confident.”

Bad hair days, however frequently they occur, can still be fixed relatively quickly and easily; use styling cream to fix your curls back in place, use a dryer sheet on static covered dry hair to prevent it sticking together, add some accessories to hide the worst, or try some hair extensions to add a new length and fullness.

Sometimes you can’t avoid having a bad hair day. A bad hair decision, however, is something else entirely. Like the time you bought those cheap hair extensions and ended up with a tangled mop by the end of the first week.

Or do you remember the first time you dyed your hair? You sat patiently in the bathroom, filled with excitement and not a little trepidation, with your beautiful locks covered in a foul smelling peroxide concoction which was starting to burn at the temples. The allotted twenty minutes up, you duly shampoo out the bleach, as per the instructions, only to find your head is covered in a lifeless, orange mess. Do you remember the 'what the heck have I done?' stare you gave the mirror for the next twenty minutes? We've all been there.

Bad hair decisions are all part of the learning curve of life. And they are a lot harder to fix than a bad hair day. Have you ever tried to re-dye hair that has just turned green under dodgy peroxide you bought from the convenient store? Or have you ever gone one perm too far and ended up with totally dead hair threatening to hate you forever? Bad perming mistakes and other hair disasters that come from over processing can be reversed if you give the hair a break from chemicals and heat for some time. One way to do that is by sewn in extensions, the kind that doesn't  matte or tangle and are long-lasting, easy to maintain and always keep their silky luster. Sewn in extensions will allow you to give your real hair a break in order for it to replenish itself.
