The kind of lustrous, beautiful hair seen on television fashion models does not belong to everyone. Most people have at least something that they do not like about their hair. Maybe it hangs too straight or curls up too easily. They might not like the color. Maybe they have damaged their hair with a lot of styling products or they are going gray much earlier than they would like to. No matter what the damage, there are things that can be done to help hair recover. Also, there are options for people who are waiting for their hair to get better. In other words, recovery takes time, but there are things that you can do to make your hair look better while you are waiting. Most people who have trouble with their hair, though, are not aware of these things, and this includes both men and women. They really do not think about it. Instead of thinking about what they can do now, they just look toward their hair being better in the future and think that they have to live with it. In some cases this may be true, but usually there is something that can be done besides wearing a wig or a hat!

There are specific options for people ...
... who have very straight hair. Shampoos and conditioners exist that are designed to help these people have more body in their hair. Usually adding extra body will help out a lot because straight hair is usually limp and somewhat lifeless. There are other people with straight hair, though, who have plenty of hair � it just does not want to do anything but hang there. These people can use a product to give them body, but they might also consider getting a permanent so that they have some curl to their hair. These products are much better than they used to be, and the results last longer and look better than in the past. Some people with straight hair might also want to think about wearing it in a style where it is pulled back most of the time or having it cut short, so that it stays out of their face.

For the opposite end of the spectrum � people with naturally curly hair � they can have it straightened. There are flat irons to take the curl out temporarily, and there are also products that can chemically straighten hair. Having it chemically straightened will last longer, but it also is much harder on the hair and should be done professionally for best results. It takes time to straighten and flatten out the hair with a flat iron, but it is something that you can do at home. Frizzy hair is also a problem. It is usually important to find out what causes the frizz so that the right steps can be taken to correct it. One of the most common causes of frizzy hair is split ends. For a problem like this, the split ends will need to be removed through a hair cut. If the hair is very long and the frizz problem has gone on for a long time, cutting the hair short may be the only alternative. Products exist to repair problems with split ends, but they will not work overnight and they do not often work well on very severe cases. Checking with a good stylist can make all the difference.
