Whether you're already sitting pretty with a little nugget in the oven, or have plans to heat up that oven in the near future, it's time to wise up in terms of hair care. That's especially true if you color, relax, perm -- or use any kind of chemical -- on your tresses.

When you think about it, hair is often put through the ringer. Between styling products, hair accessories and chemical treatments, tresses are often used and abused. Gals who treat their locks to perms commonly experience hair breakage. Your hair becomes so weak and distressed as a result of the chemicals in the perms, it snaps off because of it. But don't forget about the strong hair that is still hanging around; taking care of it is important to ensure you'll have a ton of fabulous hair days.]]>

The phrase "stretching a perm" doesn't mean pulling on curls so that they'll get straight -- it typically means extending the time you take between getting relaxers. Since relaxers, also known as perms, contain some seriously harsh ingredients that chemically straighten your hair, some gals prefer to use this stuff as little as possible. Instead of getting a touch up every four to eight weeks, some try to stretch the time longer. But since you have new growth coming in all of the time, you need to take care of it or else you'll run into some major problems. With a little TLC, you can keep your tresses looking gorgeous in between your treatments.]]>

Tumbling tresses or chopped locks --- amazing hair starts with proper hair care. Even a banging bod and beautiful bosom cannot take attention away from horrible hair. Sure, you could shave your head and never have to worry about your hair again, but very few women can pull off that style. You don't have to change your life or start brushing your locks 100 strokes a day; you just have to be strict about following the basic rules for healthy hair.]]>

A perm to straighten hair -- really? Really. Rebonding uses a combination of flat ironing and perm solution to make your hair poker straight. Perm solution breaks the disulfide bonds that control the texture of your hair. When broken, your hair conforms to whatever shape you give it -- curly or straight. A neutralizer seals the deal.

A few lucky girls can just roll out of bead in the morning, throw on some clothes and rock the sexy bed-head look all day long. For others, it's not so simple: morning hair is tangled, frizzy and impossible to manage. Over-tousled bed-head is more than just a snag in your morning routine.

Women know that a good hair day can spruce up even the simplest pair of jeans and a T-shirt, while a bad hair day can make even the priciest designer gown look shabby. The hair care industry supplies countless products for achieving that "perfect" look, and many women fall into the trap of over-treating their hair. Too much abuse and wear can take its toll, damaging the roots and making your hair too porous. Porous hair quickly absorbs and releases moisture, making it easy to color but often resulting in dry, damaged hair. Proper care can help you manage and repair your hair.]]>

Confused about hair color rinses? There are two types -- temporary and semi-permanent. Temporary rinses coat the hair and only last until the next shampoo, so no maintenance is required. Semi-permanent rinses actually penetrate the cuticle and last for 6 to 12 shampoos. If you have opted for the semi-permanent rinse, you will need to be extra kind to your hair. Although a semi-permanent rinse is not as damaging as a permanent dye, it can still cause dryness, so show your locks some tender loving care.]]>
