The crowning glory must always be kept clean and properly laid down so we always want to have a comb in our pockets. Because the usual size of combs is pocket-sized, we usually lose our combs along the way. Good thing to know that we can actually make our own combs at home, through recycling from the woods around us.

To help you save money and personalize your things, here are the 5 easy steps on how to make a wooden comb. Hope you enjoy this short and easy tutorial!

What you need:

• Walnut and Purple Heart, or Walnut and Mahogany (whichever is available)
• Crosscut sled
• Tablesaw with thin kerf blade (Alternative: Dovetail Saw)
• Sandpaper in different grades
• Belt or disc sander (if available)
• Glue

How to make a wooden comb:

1. Choose a hardwood.

There are a lot of hardwoods that can be used in making a comb. The most used type is the mixture of walnut and purple heart, or walnut and mahogany. In case those types of hardwood are not available in your area, you may look up for the following alternatives: zebrawood, bird’s eye maple, rosewood, cocobolo, and teak.

2. Shape the hardwood and make evenly-spaced rabbets

Shape the wood according to the size and shape of wooden comb you would want to make. Also, make the spacing of the rabbets depending on your preference.

To be able to have perfect rabbets, use either a table saw with thin kerf blade or a dovetail saw. If you are confident with your hands that you think you can cut perfectly, you can use as simple as a hand saw.

3. Make fine prongs.

To be able to fine prongs requires a good sled. Cross cut sled is the most used type in making a wooden comb because it can make fine prongs without breaking the whole wood. To make evenly spaced comb, some would use nails or screw holes in the intersection of the rabbets as a guide.

To have fine screw holes, you can use pocket hole jigs to make it easier and well-shaped. You can check the best pocket hole jig here:

4. Glue the handle with the modified piece of wood.

You are almost done with your comb, so it is fine to glue the comb with the handle. Use all-purpose glue that can paste woods; you can easily find them in bookstores. After applying the glue, leave it for a while before proceeding to the final step.

5. Clean the corners, and polish the comb.

Use the different grades of sandpaper to clean the edges of your comb. If you want to fasten the cleansing, you can use either a belt or disc sandpaper. Check if the comb is good, and if it is, you can start putting polish on it to make it more vintage and classy.

Having new hair cuts and new hair styles can be really fun because it lets you show the rest of the world who you are, how you feel, and what you really like to look like. People can go to a barber to just get a touch up or people can go to a high end hair salon to get the newest and coolest hair styles. What we’re here to talk about today is what getting new hair styles means in terms of the person. To be more specific we’re here to discuss what it means when people constantly change their hair style and what it says about that person. A person who always changes their hair style could be doing it for a number of different reasons, all of which we will discuss below.

They Like Style

One of the things that it could say about a person when they constantly change their hair style is that they are an artsy person. Some people just like to get creative and try new things. There’s nothing wrong with that at all. Trying new things can be really fun; some people just want to have fun!

They are Self Conscious

Some people who always change their hair styles might be doing it because of the fact that they are self conscious of how they look. Some people are depressed and have a low level of self esteem which results in them looking in the mirror and never being happy with the way they look and always thinking that other people think they are ugly or goofy looking. Constantly changing hair styles may be a result of having low self esteem and the new hair styles are a way of trying to build that self esteem.

Emotions

Another reason that people tend to change hair styles is because of their emotions. This is especially true for people who choose extreme hair styles or choose to color their hair with vibrant colors. Often hair styles like Mohawks or buzz cuts can indicate depression or anger. Also coloring the hair can be a way for people to show their emotions and feelings to the outside world without ever saying a word. If someone is angry they might yell, they might dress in black or red, and they may color their hair bright red to match the intensity of their feelings. Also if people are depressed they may get something like an “emo” hair cut with blue hair, of course the blue indicates sadness.

Wanting To Fit In

The last thing that we could think of as to why people constantly change their hair styles and hair cuts is because they want to fit in. There are always new fashion trends and fads, trends which people are supposed to follow if they want to be considered cool or hip. Since people are gregarious herd animals we want to be the same as others and we want to fit in. Notice, as soon as one person starts wearing a certain type of clothing or hair style, other people start to follow suit. This is simply because people want to be a part of the group.

Getting a new hair cut or a hair style can be really exciting because it lets you express who you are and it lets you look neat and groomed too. Some people may think that the words hair cut and hair style are synonymous and that it’s just a matter of semantics, but that is surely not the case. There is a clear difference between a hair cut and a hair style; let me tell you what that is.

Getting a hair cut or a trim actually involves cutting your hair to be shorter than it as before. There is even a distinction to be made there. Getting a new hair cut usually involves a serious shortening of the length of the hair, while a trim doesn’t involve much in length chances. Instead a trim is more or less just cutting away the split ends to give your current hair style a little rejuvenation. However getting a hair cut is not the same thing as getting a new hair style. The picture below is of a hair cut.

You can get yourself a new hair style without actually getting a hair cut. For example you can cut your hair to ivy league length and wear it in different hair styles. You can wear the ivy league hair cut in a crew cut hair style, a long crew cut, spiked up, parted in the middle, or many other ways too. The picture below is of a hair style.

A hair cut refers to the length of your hair more than anything else, while the hair style refers to the way in which you wear your hair. As another example, you could have long hair lowing don to your shoulders and that would be the hair cut length. You can wear that long hair in a pony tail, a bun, or wear it like shag too, that would be the hair style.

To make it even more simple, a hair cut involves using scissors or clippers, whereas getting your hair styled is going to involve the dryer, gel, hair products, and anything else needed to make a specific style. Getting your hair cut in length doesn’t mean that you automatically have a hair style, it can just mean that your hair is shorter. You can of course get a hair cut and also get it made into a certain style at the same time, however the 2 are very different things.

Hair thinning scissors are some of the most commonly used tools in any hair saloon or barber shop and there is a good reason for it. Hair thinning scissors are great for thinning out the hair and getting rid of thickness and bulk where it is unwanted. Hair is nice but in times like the hot summer it is also nice to have thinner hair to let the heat out. That doesn’t mean that you have to chop it all off, just use hair thinning scissors to lighten things up a little bit. The main difference between normal scissors or hair cutting shears is that hair thinning scissors have one normal straight blade and one blade that has several teeth on it. The teeth cut away a certain amount of hair and all of the hair in between the teeth is not cut, therefore thinning the hair without cutting it all away in one foul swoop. These hair thinning scissors can be used for a variety of different haircuts including anything from 2 inches long all the way to the longest hair you have ever seen. There are a few different types of these scissors so let’s talk about them a little more.

Types Of Hair Thinning Scissors

There are a great number of different types of hair thinning scissors and each one is used for a slightly different purpose. A professional hair stylist will be able to utilize all of the different types of hair thinning scissors in combination to achieve a masterful and elegant haircut. It’s hard to get the right look with just one pair of hair thinning scissors, but with all of the different types used together any haircut can be made possible and made excellent.

Blending & Texturizing Hair Thinning Scissors – These are an excellent type of hair thinning scissors to have around because they can do it all. They don’t specialize or excel in one particular field of hair cutting, but they are the average Joe and the all-around best choice because they can do it all. These are generally the most common used type of hair thinning scissors around because they can be used for texturizing and hair thinning. These hair thinning scissors usually have around 25 teeth which makes them extremely versatile and well balanced for any job at hand. They are great because they can remove over 50 percent of the hair with just 2 or 3 cuts. This type of scissor is great for blending, hair thinning, as well as texturizing too.

Chunking Hair Thinning Scissors – These types of hair thinning scissors have anywhere from 7 to 15 different teeth which are much more widely spaced apart than the teeth of the blending and texturizing scissors. This makes the chunking hair thinning scissors ideal for people with bulky, thick, and curly hair as there is more room for the hair. A single cut or 2 can take up to 80 percent of the hair. These scissors are ideal for creating notches in the hair as well as for thinning the hair for people that have really thick or curly hair.

Finishing Hair Thinning Scissors – As the name implies, these scissors are used to finish a haircut and to add the finer details. The finishing hair thinning scissor usually have quite larger number of teeth than the other 2 types of hair thinning scissors because it allows them to give finer details without cutting away too much hair at once. This being said it does take longer to cut away and thin out the hair with these scissors as they are finer. If somebody has thick hair more passes or cuts will be required to thin it out. The finishing hair thinning scissors are the best choice for blending and for creating even transitions because the minimal amount of hair they cut away makes it easy to transition from one hair length to another without creating stairs or holes in the haircut.

Once you get the hang of which scissors do what job it couldn’t be any easier to get the hairstyle that you want, not to mention that the knowledge is valuable if you ever want to become a hair stylist.

Having dandruff-filled hair is really a big problem, but now, gone are the days when you spend some time sulking because you don’t know how to get rid of your dandruff.

Hair is one of the first attraction factor for many people, be it blond, brunette, or dark hair colour with soft, silky, or hard texture. Every type of hair has its own beauty. You might know the basics of hair maintenance: no vigorous shampooing, cleaning hair every week, wearing a hat or a stole to avoid exposure to sun and dirt etc., but are you really happy with the way your hair looks? Do you find it difficult to maintain at some point and considering to go short in order to avoid maintenance hazel? Probably, you might be making mistakes in your hair maintenance agenda which would make your hair appear greasy and lifeless. Here are some of the common mistakes you might be doing when you shampoo your hair:

1. Are you sure your hair is wet enough?

You might stand under shower for a minute and think that your hair is wet and start applying shampoo, but actually you might be throwing your hair into the risk of getting dry. Make sure, every corner of your hair is wet before you start applying your shampoo.

2. Do you wash your hair only when it goes greasy?

Another mistake you might make out of your laziness is to wait until your hair gets completely greasy, and then to go for a hair wash. Dust and dirt accumulates in hair every day and it is not healthy to leave it on until symptoms are noticeable (greasiness). Make it a routine to wash your hair every day during summer and one in two days during winter and rainy season.

3. Do you fancy capping your hair with froth?

Most people feels satisfied only if they get their hair covered with froth. The actual fact is, cleanliness of your hair lies in your fingers and not in the shampoo. A little shampoo, just enough to lather the hair is much enough. Your fingers should do the trick of giving proper massage to every hair and scalp issues. Also remember, inadequate quantity of shampoo may not give enough smoothness to help your hands do the massage in the right way.

4. Do you scalp-scrub?

Many people does this mistake. You might think that you are getting rid of every dirt on the head, but actually you might be peeling off the skin from your scalp which might cause dandruff later. A gentle massage is just enough to get rid of the dirt on the scalp.

5.Do you give a quick-rinse?

If you are the person who just wipes off the shampoo (so that people can get the fragrance of your hair from the other corner of the street) or if you are the one who don’t have enough patience to rinse the hair after applying shampoo, you are probably in danger of harming your hair. Be sure that you give a thorough rinse to your hair before heading off the shower. Chemical components in the shampoo may damage your scalp and make it flaky if not rinsed properly.

6. Do you apply your conditioner the same way as shampoo?

Remember, shampoo is for the entire hair: from the roots to the the ranches. Conditioners are ‘not’ for the roots. By applying your conditioner on the scalp, you are letting your leave-on conditioner to block your oil glands in the scalp and get your head accumulated with unwanted dirt and dandruff. Avoid applying conditioner on the scalp. Just apply it on the length of the hair, without contact with the scalp. This will keep your hair shiny and healthy.

7. Do you comb your wet hair?

It might be the easier way to avoid tangles, but your hair will be too loose when wet. Take enough time to dry your hair and then comb hair when it is dry. This avoids hair fall to greater extent.

8. Do you avoid cold water rinse?

Rinsing the hair with cold water afters your normal rinse will help opening up the pores in scalp and will increase blood flow to the hair. This will aid in better hair growth. Avoidance of cold water rinsing may keep the pores in your scalp closed which increase the risk of getting dandruff and itchiness.

Maintaining healthy hair is quite challenging regardless of its length. That’s why it’s important to follow the ways on how to prevent tangles due to turning and tossing while sleeping.  Keeping your hair to look gorgeous requires a lot of effort and time. To save time fixing your hair upon waking up, the best thing to do is to try some nighttime hair care tips before hitting the sack. This way, you can expect waking up with beautiful locks.

Bedtime Hair Care Tips

Prepare your bed

Before doing anything else, the first thing that you should do to wake up in the morning with gorgeous hair is to make your bed conducive for your hair. Aside from brushing your hair before bedtime, you should also pay attention on the pillowcase that you’re using. Consider using silk pillowcases as they work well with your hair. It’s because your hair gently glides over the pillowcase. If your pillowcase is cotton, most likely your hair will rub against the cotton fibers. To avoid hair damage particularly if you keep on turning and tossing at night, then you should change your pillowcase to silk fiber. With this tangles and knots are prevented, thus hair damage is at bay.

Brush your hair

This is one of the must-to-do before hitting the sack to remove tangles. Brushing your hair should be done even if you’re tired and exhausted all day. This will prevent your hair from getting serious tangles. It doesn’t necessarily mean brushing your hair hundred times as long as the tangles are removed.

Aside from those tips cited above, there are other tricks to consider so that you’ll wake up with tangle-free hair.

Hair tricks at bedtime

• Pineappling

This technique is perfect for those ladies with curly hair. Gathering the hair on top and wrapping it around with silk scarf at the base gives assurance that you’ll wake up with beautiful locks. Use silk scarf to avoid hair damage as in the case of cotton fabric that breaks the coils and strips off the hair’s moisture.

• Braid

Another way to keep your hair look good in the morning is through a braid. It will also give you loose and bouncy curls as well as mermaid-wave texture. This is perfect especially for frizzy hair.

• Bed bun

This is the most common trick to keep your hair at place while sleeping. All you have to do is to tie your hair like a bun, but make sure that it’s not too tight or too lose. Using hairnet is also recommended to keep your hair protected and contained.

• Bonnet

You can also use bonnet particularly if your hair is permed. It also helps in keeping the moisture, protecting the hair from breakage, and keeping the edges intact as well as reducing frizz.

• Apply oil

If you notice that your hair is overly dry, then you should take time applying oil on it. Apply light oil to give extra moisture, and you can use either coconut oil or grape seed oil.

In tying your hair, you should avoid using elastic bands. Obviously, it will damage your hair’s roots and shafts. Instead, you can use band that is covered with fabric. Sleeping with wet hair should be avoided as it will result to frizz and tangles. If you’re used to having shower before sleeping, make sure to dry your hair before going to bed. While drying your hair, you can apply oil and massage your scalp. This won’t only stimulate the hair roots and follicles but also keeps you relax.

Most women are using and applying hair care products at night. There’s nothing wrong with that as long as the product will make your hair strong, smooth, and silky all night. The important thing to note is that the product will keep the moisture in your hair. If your hair is seriously dry, you should use overnight hair mask.

Indeed, keeping your crowning glory look gorgeous requires quality time and patient. All the expenses you have been spending for your hair will be useless if you’ll take it for granted. Doing some tricks to protect your hair while sleeping is one good idea.. Some of the techniques may seem trivial, but if you want to have a great night and wake up with tangle-free hair, then you should consider doing those tips mentioned above. After all, it’s for your own benefit and it will save you time fixing your hair in the morning. Whatever type or length of hair you have, take time on maintaining and keeping it beautiful and lively.

Often times, we always want to look good, whether when going out or just being lazy at home and doing nothing. Most of the time, women love to fix their hair. This is because the hair is considered their crown and glory. A bad hair contributes to a bad appearance specially if its is messy and unkept in a bad way.

What makes it worse, when you are working out in the gym or any activities that requires sweating and moving, your hair tends to be always in the way of your line of sight, and it sticks to your neck that annoys you a lot.

Here, we are going to talk about different ways of styling the hair on gym days.

The Pony Tail

Basically, this is the most basic hairstyle that many women and some men often sport when they are exercising or playing sports in the field. This is very easy to do. You just need an elastic hair band, and pull all your hair up on the top of your head, resembling a pony’s tail and tie it with an elastic band to stop the bunch from falling down to your shoulders. Then, take out about a square inch hair from the bottom then twist it around the elastic, and secure this piece with a bobby pin. The pony tails keep your hair from your sticking down to your neck.

Pig Tails in a Braid

Another way to keep your hair away from covering your face is the pig tail braid. You can do the braided pig tails on your own. The first thing you do is divide your hair into two parts to form two mini pony tails. Then start braiding one pony tail at a time; it depends whether you want to start braiding the left pony tail or the right one.

Divide the chosen pony tail into three section. Start crossing the first part towards the right, then pull the middle part to the left side, and lastly, cross the last partition with the first partition. Repeat the same process until you reach the desired length of the your braid, then secure it with an elastic band. Repeat the same process with the second pony tail.

Funky French Braid

If you want a pony tail with a combination of those elegant braids, then the French braids might be the perfect hairdo for you. Remember, French braid and classic braids are different. For French braids with a pony tail twist, you need to divide your hair into three section, then secure them using elastic bands. Then you start braiding one of the three section. Divide the partition into three, adding a bit of hair when you to continue to braid it down until the desired length. Secure it with pins. Then you do the same to the other two partitions left. After braiding the two partitions, you gather the unbraided part of the hair then pull it up into a pony tail or a bun.

The Bun Spin
