Get rid of scalp acne

Posted at 7:38 AM • No Comments

Scalp acne is a common problem in men and women but it is not easily noticeable unless you have very short hair. Though the problem is not serious in nature but negligence can often lead to hair loss.

Most cases of scalp acne can be easily controlled. But first, let’s look at the causes of this annoying and painful problem.

Scalp acne occurs when oil and dirt gets trapped in hair. Oil from various hairstyling products and dirt from the environment clogs up the pores of scalp, thereby causing bacterial infection. This causes the hair follicle to swell up and leads to acne.

Keeping your scalp clean is one of the best treatments to reduce scalp acne. Shampooing on a regular basis (every alternate day) can be a good way to remove dirt and oil from your scalp. This will also allow efficient hair growth and keep your hair healthy.

Here are some other tips to prevent scalp acne:

  1. Don’t use oily hairstyling products.
  2. Exfoliate every week to remove dead skin cells and dirt from hair.
  3. Always wash hair with cold water. Never use hot water as that will cause dryness and aggravate the problem.
  4. Try to cover your hair with a cap or some cloth when you are traveling.
  5. Always use professional hair shears to cut your hair. Using cheap quality scissors can damage your hair.
  6. Massage your scalp regularly. This enhances blood circulation and promotes hair growth.

Two in every five persons, suffer from scalp acne. So if you are planning to keep a very short haircut, you may face embarrassment due to this problem. Start your hair care regime to keep your hair strong, lustrous and thus keep scalp acne at bay!

You meet her at a shop and fail to recognize her, even though she has been you neighbor for the last so many years. Have you gone through such a situation? I bet, you have. Your inability to recognize your neighbor can be attributed to the change in her hairstyle.

Did you know that women try about 104 different hairstyles during their lifetime. The number is seriously huge but these statistics were revealed by a research commissioned by British hairstylist Andrew Collinge. Women in the the ages of 13 and 65, will make some type of change to their hair – whether it’s layering, colouring or cutting. Also, they do so very often.

The survey results reveal that maximum women change their hairstyles because they are simply bored with their current look. While some women admitted that a special occasion provides them a perfect opportunity to try out a new look, others visit their salons to conceal grey hairs.

Looks matter! This holds true in every sense and in case of women, it makes them more confident and happy. Andrew Collinge says: “With our modern, everyday stresses and hectic lifestyles, often a restyle or a new colour is an effective and easy way to boost a woman’s confidence.”

So now you know why women often visit salons and how stylists manage to give them a new look with the help of professional hair shears.

If you too have recently changed your hairstyle or got a new color, share your thoughts with us: @TheScissorBoy

Barber Thinning Shears

Posted at 9:24 AM • No Comments

Thinning shears are used by stylists for doing a variety of customizations to their client’s hair. These professional hair shears are mainly used to thin extremely thick hair!

Also known as texturizing shears or chunking shears, these shears can also be used to texture hair, i.e. add volume and layers. They are great for the multi layered effect!

Thinning Shears are popular amongst many hairstylists because of its unique features. These shears appear like traditional hairdressing scissors but they are different in their functionality.

Thinners are mostly used to remove “bulk” from the hair without altering the hairstyle. This is the sole reason why Thinning Shears have “teeth” as opposed to “blades” and remove less hair with a single snip.

One needs to be very careful while using these shears, as begineers may end up thinning the hair too much! That will cause some problems as hair won’t have the necessary weight to settle down on their own.

New stylists need to be extremely careful while handling thinning shears. Maybe, practicing on mannequin head forms is a good idea before actually thinning your client’s hair.

If you are looking for quality thinning scissors, checkout Scissorboy Shears. These shears are handcrafted and offer superior comfort while creating some amazing texturizing effects.
