Debra Messing hairstyles

Coloring your hair can be disappointing when your fab new shade fades too quick, so if you want your new hair color to stay nice and fresh—as fresh as Debra Messing's lovely red hair color (right)—then check out this expert advice.

  • If you have healthy hair then your color will last longer. Importantly, then, you need to make sure your hair has the correct moisture and protein levels.
  • A hair color that's within two or three shades of your natural hair color will last longer because the fading won't be as noticeable.
  • One of the first signs that your hair color is old and tired is when your roots are really obvious. Semi-permanent hair coloring can help you avoid this problem as it fades off more gently.
  • If you choose a permanent color then a tinted hair glaze added over the top can help seal in your new hair color.
  • If you're booked in for a hair coloring service then skip any other additional chemical treatments as things like perms can make your hair dryer and, in turn, increase the speed at which your color fades.
  • For hair color solutions that are a little more fade-friendly try highlights or an underlay: highlights are done with bleach so they don't fade; and since the color of an underlay is quite subtle (its only visible through your top strands) it's not the end of the world if it fades a little.
  • Shampooing your hair more than every other day will increase your hair color's fading. We recommend a pigmented shampoo also to help slow fading down.
  • The sun does a great job fading your hair, so rather than cover your new hair color with a hat, grab some styling products with UV protectors.

Hair scrunching is the perfect styling option for those with naturally curly hair, because not only does it bring out and enhance curls, but it also creates contrast, gives your hair texture and adds volume to your hair (which is also great for fine hair types).

Even if you only have a slight wave, hair scrunching can give you a whole new look and all it takes is a few minutes.

To achieve the best results from hair scrunching, follow these steps:

  1. Apply some hairstyling products like mousse or sculpture lotion while your hair is slightly damp.
  2. Cup the ends of a section of your hair into your palm and then close your hand and scrunch the hair up into your roots.
  3. Hold for a few seconds and then let the section loose.
  4. Repeat throughout the rest of your hair until you create the right level of volume or you achieve the curly look that you want.

It's that simple!

Nothing feels better than stepping out your front door with thick, healthy, high volume hair. It's true what they say: if your hair's flat, limp and lifeless then you tend to feel the same way too. So inject some volume into your tresses and get used to feeling great! The simple tips below will help you get beautiful and sexy hair that's chock full of volume— in minutes!

High volume hair

  • Get some hair coloring done: full head permanent hair color makes the hair look thicker and healthier; highlights and lowlights add the appearance of depth (and thickness) to your hair.
  • Get a hair cut: chin to shoulder length hair has more body, so to maximize your hair's volume speak to your hairdresser about cutting it to this length.
  • Use the right shampoo for your hair type: if you don't your hair can be weighed down and will look limp and lifeless.
  • Don't over-condition: over-conditioning fine hair will make it look flat, so only condition your ends on a daily basis.
  • Try a cold rinse: finish washing your hair with a cold rinse as this will enhance your hair's body and shine and make your it appear thicker and full of volume.
  • Style with volume-boosting hair products: if you have fine hair then mousse is best; get yourself a good root-booster hair product too.
  • Blow-dry your way to body and volume: blow-dry a small section at a time working from the bottom up, aiming at the roots and finishing each section with a blast of cool air; finish by spritzing hairspray on the roots.

To put it quite simply, there is absolutely no reason to ever stop your diet.  Just because you finally made it to your goal weight, does not mean you are going to stay that way for very long.  Now is the time you have to go through your entire routine, and decide how much will it take to stay the way you are, or even slightly improve on it.  The most beautiful people in the world don’t keep looking like that when they become lazy, they get fat and out of shape like everyone else.  Keep as active as possible, if the running was a huge part of you dropping the weight (which usually is), then try your best to keep running almost the same amount as you were before. 

 Now that you have already dropped the weight you wanted to lose, you may try to adjust your diet in a way as to resume eating some of the foods that you missed.  There is no sense in depriving yourself now that you have already lost the weight.  Do not allow too many calories back in, but you can afford to add a few since you will still be jogging or running which will burn off most calories before they become fat. You must be careful as to not allow any processed food, but if you miss having your occasional homemade cheeseburger or slice of pizza go for it! 
 
Never lose sight of where you came from.  If you keep pictures around of what you looked like before you started your diet, you will be far less likely to become lazy and allow yourself to look this way again.  This includes not throwing out any old diaries or journals you may have written, if you had any depression caused by your unhealthy lifestyle it will most likely show through what you wrote.  So if you ever start to fall off track and catch yourself gaining 3 pounds, look at a picture and remind yourself how awful you felt with that extra 20-30 pounds you lugged around.
 
If you can stay this weight up to 6 months, it’s time to really congratulate yourself.  Most likely you won’t gain much back especially if you keep running and stay active for the rest of your life.  Now go out and find someone else, family or friend, tell them your amazing story and get them excited enough to want to lose weight themselves.  If enough people did this imagine how much thinner the world would be!

Due to the change in your lifestyle by adding diet and exercise, you might run into unforeseen problems that you will want to catch as they happen and not sustain further injury.  Whether it be from running or from not getting the right amount of protein in your diet to restore muscles, you need to be able to notice problems and fix them the proper way.  If you decided to run for example, make sure that you are wearing the exact shoe size and using proper running shoes (ex. Nike or New Balance).  You can easily hurt your back from not having proper posture or shoes, so be sure to read up online at sites like www.runnersworld.com so you can prevent running injuries from the day you start.

Always make sure you warm up or stretch your muscles before doing any type of workout, this includes even the most simple exercises.  If you plan on walking or running, you need to stretch your calf muscles before to prevent from pulling a muscle.  Your arms and wrists are the most necessary joints for doing a pushup, so be sure to stretch them first.  You should also make sure you know the exact position you need for each exercise before beginning.  If you aren’t sure you can always find a video on YouTube to see the proper way it should be done.  If you are not in the correct position to do a push-up you will be unbalanced and do more harm than good, possibly causing a shoulder injury.  The best way to do a sit-up is to first loosen up your upper body as much as possible, and cross your arms over your chest to form an x. This is to be sure you aren’t pulling your head forward with your hands which can damage your neck and stop you from getting any of the effect of the pushup.

 If you are able to follow the correct instructions, and don’t do too much when you first start, you should have almost eliminated any chance of hurting yourself.  If you are jogging or running, stare ahead and don’t let yourself start looking down at your feet.  By doing this, your neck and back will stay straight and keep everything aligned.  If you catch yourself starting to look down, look around at the scenery if there is any so you have a better reason to keep your head up.
