Always test the heat level of a new appliance before you ever apply it to the hair. A piece of moistened tissue paper should be inserted in the appliance and held for a few seconds without any scorching. If the paper gets discolored, the iron is too hot.

Yes, of course. The hair on your face is hair just like on any other part of your body - including your head. It can be colored by the same products you use to change your haircolor. There are some differences, obviously. The one most readily apparent to everyone is texture.
Facial hair tends to be much coarser than the hair on the head, and as a result can be more resistant to haircolor. The facial hair can also be less dense than the hair of the scalp and color application must therefore be done much more carefully to minimize the staining of the skin underneath.

Summer is in full force Nebraska, it is time to take special care that our hair needs. Whether it be the sun, sand, the lake or the pool, our hair takes a beating when the temperatures rise. It doesn’t take a lot to ruin our hair but getting it back to a healthy state is another story. Let’s talk about prevention instead. So, sit back in your lounge chair, sip on your iced tea and read on to learn how to beat summer hair damage.
There is no escaping the sun, unless you live under a rock. Short of wearing a hat, there are some other things that can be done to help prevent sun damage. Just as you wouldn’t spend the day at the beach without your trusted sunscreen, you also shouldn’t spend time in the sun without sunscreen in your hair. Use a leave in conditioner that contains SPF to help prevent damage to your hair. If you are in a pinch and you find yourself taking a road trip in a convertible or spending the day at the pool without a hat or the all important SPF, just use the same stuff you put on your skin. Your hair will probably feel pretty slimy and gross, but a few hours is nothing compared to several months of work to repair the damage. Hair that has been damaged by the sun may become brittle and frizzy. Many times the only way to fix this summer problem is to trim away the damaged follicles.
Happy Summer!
