It’s human nature to want what we don’t have. The results of
not getting what we want from our hair may result in a blow to our
self esteem.
It certainly
doesn’t help that most celebrities seem to always look like
they’re having a great hair day.
Never mind that they probably just spent hours being brushed,
combed, sprayed, twisted and fussed over by an army of colorists,
stylists and other beauty minions.
If you ever wondered how to escape
the agonies of bad hair days followed by endless self flogging over
unmanageable locks you are in luck.
Adopt the following simple strategies and you will find instant
relief for your hair woes.
Accentuate
The Positive
Start your new
hair love program by first taking a good look at yourself in the
mirror. Come on.
There are lots of things about your hair that you like.
Concentrate on the hair parts that you enjoy:
great color that brings out your eyes and skin, fabulous
length, bangs that are perfectly layered.
Focus on all the
great parts of your hair and don’t get caught up in the attributes
that you don’t like. Make
a list and tape it somewhere close to your daily hair care station.
Whenever you get discouraged or start beating up your hair stop
and read your list to reinforce your awareness of the great hair parts
that you truly possess.
Silence
Your Critics

You and only you
are required to wear your hair for your life events. Well meaning spouses, family, friends and acquaintances can
and will provide their opinions about your hair.
When external critics volunteer their unsolicited opinions keep
in mind that they don’t own your hair.
You do. Unless
someone tells you that your hair is on fire, smile politely at their
comments and then ignore them.
It is helpful to
remember that when you are true to your own likes and needs you are
truly expressing who you are to the world.
This is true of the way you choose to wear your hair, the shoes
you select or the car that you drive.
Find
A Realistic Role Model
Whether you have
stick straight hair, masses of curls or tons of waves, find a role
model that has the same type of hair you do.
It is folly to try and have curls like Debra Messing when your
hair is fine, thin or straight as a board.
Instead, focus on people with hair like yours to model.
Be realistic about the possibilities for your own hair.
Jennifer Aniston Pitt has naturally wavy hair that has been morphed
into a range of sleek, straight, shiny styles. Not only does
Mrs. Pitt endure hours of styling tortures, her hair requires
mountains of hair care products to maintain.
Unless you plan
on hiring your own army of hair and makeup people be prepared to look
fabulous in your own hair, not Jennifer’s or Debra’s or anyone else.
Enjoy
The Compliments
When was the last
time you received a compliment and shrugged it off?
Not only does this discourage people from giving you additional
kudos, it diminishes your own feelings about how great you really do
look.
Next time someone
display admiration of your hair or looks, be gracious and enjoy.
Write the compliments down in your journal or post a note
somewhere to remind yourself that you looked fantastic.
Resist
The Crowd Mentality

Every single
season of the year ushers in a complete new bumper crop of hairstyles.
Bangs or in, then they’re out.
Hair is long, then short, than chopped than curled.
Who could keep up and not be hair-brained?
Ignore hot hair
trends and stay focused on styles that work best for you and your
hair. If your thick long
locks look great in the latest braids, then embrace the hot style with
panache.
Or if your cute
cropped styles work for you, ignore the braiding frenzies and know
that crops will be back in short order.
Pressures to conform to the latest look will only throw you
into a tizzy or hair stresses.
Trust
Yourself
Listen to your
little inner voice and trust your intuition about what styles and
products are right for you. If
you know you look best with bangs, then enjoy.
If you love a certain shampoo, stick with it.
Find a stylist
that you trust who listens to what you want for yourself. Don’t be pressured to conform to the stylist’s whims.
A great hair consultant will work with who you are, what you
want and make you feel great in the process.
Have
Fun
Life is way too
short to spend even a few minutes fretting about hair hassles. If your hair is acting contrary, forgive it and play with it.
Pin it up, pop in a ponytail, slick it back, be adventurous and
wild. Banish your self
critic and know that like everything else in life, hair has cycles.
Go with your hair flow, enjoy yourself and you will love the
hair you were born with.
