CERAMIC HAIR STRAIGHTENERS

Hair straightening is one of the latest hair style fads where people with all types of hair use hair straighteners to straighten hair, using heat. There are two types of hair straighteners; steam ceramic hair straighteners like H2 pro and regular hair straighteners. The difference between these two hair straighteners is that regular straighteners are meant for use on dry hair while the steam hair straighteners can be used on damp hair.

Steam ceramic hair straighteners come with vent channels on the sides of its flat plates for the extraction of moisture from hair and to seal the hair cuticle. This straightens the hair with the venting of steam. There are various advantages to steam hair straighteners over regular ones.

1. The greatest advantage of steam ceramic hair straighteners is that it can be used to style towel dried hair. This is because this hair straightener can be used on damp hair. This thus eliminates the need of blow drying the hair before straightening. This not only saves time, but also creates minimum heat damage to the hair.

2. Moreover, steam hair straighteners make straightening of thick and coarse hair easy because of the use of steam. These straighteners are found in various designs and sizes where the width of its flat plates can be changed for different lengths of hair. Longer hair need wider plates while shorter hair, narrower plates.

3. Steam hair straighteners like H2pro usually come with ceramic hot plates and temperature control so that you can control temperature with your hair. It is better to use more heat for thick, curly and coarse hair and lower temperatures for thinner, straighter and smoother hair.

4. There are also some steam hair straighteners that come with small teeth at its edge to comb hair before it touches the flat plate.

5. There are water tanks to store water in some ceramic hair straighteners like H2pro, to hold water to steam straighten dry hair.

Tips for choosing flat irons

It is possible to choose your flat irons by brand where the more popular ones like H2pro may cost more. However it is worthwhile paying so much for it as they give great results with hair straightening.

You can also choose your flat iron based on the color you like. There are numerous colors to choose from today like green, purple, blue, black, silver and also pink.

Buying low profile flat irons is not a bad idea either as these products have been around for a long time, and have thus built consumer confidence. Besides color and brand, you have to take the price and the features of the flat iron into consideration to make the final choice for the best iron for yourself.

Ceramic hair straighteners are relatively better

With so many flat irons to choose from, it is important that you choose the right hair flat iron for yourself. Though consumer flat irons are cheaper, the professional ceramic flat irons have ceramic heaters and thick ceramic layers on the plate.

Ceramic flat irons produce negative ions and infrared heat that is gentle to your hair. It also helps in sealing hair follicles, preserves moisture of your hair and conditions hair for added shine and health.

Though ceramic flat irons are the best for your hair straightening needs, you have to choose the right sized one as mentioned above. If you want to make curls and flips, choose plates having rounded edges.

When you buy a steam ceramic hair straightener, remember that you have to choose it based on your hair type, length and the cut and style of your hair. Retail price of these hair straighteners vary, and starts from to 0. It is not necessary that you always pay more for a better ceramic hair straightener.

However if you buy your H2pro ceramic hair straightener from us, we sell it to you with a one year warranty and always free shipping. This is because we are an authorized dealer for H2pro flat irons and have a 30 days money back guarantee on your purchase.

Hair preparation before hair straightening

The first thing to do before straightening your hair is to clean it to rid it of the everyday build up of grease and dirt. If this is not done, it is possible for the ceramic hair straightener to stick to your hair, clump up and thus damage your hair.

For better handling of your hair, you have to shampoo and condition your hair using quality hydrating products. Do this either before straightening your hair, or the night before. If you are straightening damp hair, use a thermal spray for even distribution and softening of hair while drying. With this, your hair gets protected while you have an increased life of your style.

If you want to dry your hair, use a ceramic heated ionic hair dryer as it produces gentler heat for faster drying of your hair. Moreover, it produces reduced static, frizz and damage of hair shaft.

Choosing the right temperature

Never use more heat than required to style your hair, so use the temperature setting control found on the H2pro, ceramic hair straightener. High heat of about 350 - 400 degrees F is required for straightening thick, coarse and extra curly hair while 300 degrees F is enough for fine, damaged or chemically treated hair. However 300- 380 degrees F is sufficient heat for straightening normal hair.

You can tell the right temperature of the ceramic hair straightener by moistening a piece of tissue paper, and then pressing it with the flat iron. If the paper steams, and not burn, then it means that the temperature is right.

How to use a flat iron

After washing your hair, you have to use a fine comb to get rid of all tangles in your hair. You could apply some serum to your hair to flatten your hair cuticles, and thus ease its movements. However don't apply serum too close to the roots as this will only plaster your hair to your head.

This done, you have to make sections of your hair, which are no wider than the width of the iron plate. You have to start from a side of your head, while working around to the other side.

You have to work through the hair layers to the crown of your head. While moving between sections, you have to go back over the junctions in between the straightened sections to give a more even look to your hair.

Clips help H2pro straighten your hair

If required, you could use clips to keep your hair separated while styling. These sections have to be small as too huge sections lead to uneven heating of the hair, which in turn leads to uneven styling. Moreover, smaller sections give less passes with the iron, and produces straighter hair.

If you get too much of hair in the iron, it leads to your hair taking longer to straighten. This will not only reap you of the desired hair effect, but the prolonged use of heat also leads to more damage to your hair.

On choosing the right sections, press these sections between the plates of the H2pro near your scalp. Then while maintaining gentle pressure, you have to draw the iron to the tips of your hair evenly, and moderately fast. The flat iron should not linger on any spot for too long; with practice, you will be able to get this right.

How to curl your hair with a flat iron

Flat irons are not only used for straightening your hair, but also for curling your hair. It is easier to make curls if the flat iron has rounded or curved plates. You have to clamp an inch section of your hair close to your scalp, and turn your flat iron about one and a half times in the direction you want your hair to curl.

This is when you have to hold the flat iron at this angle, and pull it along the length of the hair, while maintaining the curling position of the flat iron. This has to be repeated for all curls. Long hair may have to be pinned up to ensure that they stay put till the end. This technique may look tedious at first; however once you get the hang of things, it is pretty easy.

Tips for flipping with a flat iron

Flipping your hair is about the same as straightening your hair. The only difference is that on reaching your hair tips, you have to turn your flat iron in the direction of the flip, while gliding the flat iron along your hair. You can experiment to get different volumes of flip by starting your flip at different points of your hair.

Protecting your hair style

There is no point in just styling your hair using a ceramic hair straightener; you have to protect it to keep your hair perfectly styled throughout the day and night. Don't brush your hair immediately after straightening as this loses the shape of the style.

Instead, if you need to do any flattening of your hair, you could do it by using some hairspray on your toothbrush. However make sure that you don't touch the straightened areas.

Look after your ceramic hair straightener

Make sure that you maintain the condition of your flat iron by storing it in a heat proof pouch. This should also be used when traveling as it protects your H2pro well. This pouch can also be used for placing your hot flat iron, to protect your counters from possible heat damage.

Make it a point to clean your ceramic hair straightener periodically. You have to clean it more frequently if you use heat serums or leave in conditioners on your hair. However the flat iron can be cleaned only once a week if you do not these products much. This is because buildup of these hair products on the plates of the flat iron only make your hair snag, and also shortens the life of the plates.

You can clean your flat iron by heating it and then wiping it using a non-abrasive cloth. If you use leave-in treatments frequently, it is better to use a flat iron cleaner too. However don't use chemical solvents as they are not meant for cleaning your flat iron.

With this, you will be able to maintain your H2pro ceramic hair straightener for a long time, to faithfully give you the hair straightening effects you want in your hair.

Heal Dental Caries Naturally - Part 2

!±8± Heal Dental Caries Naturally - Part 2

Oral hygiene, remineralization toothpastes and alkaline nutrition can save your teeth. The following ten steps may not only save one's teeth and gums, but also one's life. Why? Because many underlying causes of disease are affected as well.

1) Save your teeth with raw greens: There might be other options besides the "Factor X" butter oil to help maintain healthy teeth and heal dental problems. My theory is that if "Factor X" comes only from those cows lucky enough to be grazing in green grasses all day long, then why not simply add more greens to one's diet? It has been assumed by raw foodists for a long time that raw greens (high in vitamin K, chlorophyll and magnesium) such as lettuce and wheat grass juice can rebuild damaged teeth. There are also plenty of chlorophyll potions and supplements available in every health food store that might be of some benefit to tooth enamel.

2) Live mainly on a raw food, alkaline diet: Live mainly on a raw organic diet of fresh alkaline forming fruits, vegetables and greens high in chlorophyll (spring greens, lettuce, wheat grass juice, kale, collards, etc.) in the diet as well. It would make a lot of sense to learn all one can about how to identify and remove most acid-forming food from one's diet and learn how to live on a more alkaline-forming diet. One does not need to remove all acidic food from one's diet, as some are essential in small amounts. One needs to however be able to distinguish which are which so one can always benefit mainly from an alkaline forming diet which profoundly affects every aspect of the body, not just bones, teeth, saliva, and gums.

3) Supplement with extra calcium, minerals, A, D, E, K, antioxidants, etc: Supplementing the diet with coral calcium, one teaspoon of dolomite per 1.5 liters of ionized water (also add to juice, and make sure to have at least four grams calcium, two grams magnesium per day which is provided by 6 grams dolomite), liquid or granular lecithin(contains phosphorous in the form of phospholipids), raw greens (high in magnesium and vitamin K), kelp, a complete mineral supplement, and vitamin antioxidants such as vitamin A, C, bioflavonoids, vitamin D, E, the herb turmeric, circulation enhancing herbs such as cayenne and ginger, and especially large quantities of CQ10 and green tea will help maintain heathy teeth and protect the gums. Large amounts (more than 300 mg. a day) of the CQ10 might even help reverse gum loss. Gum disease can increase the presence of CRP (C-reactive protein) in the blood which is known to increase blood clotting, heart attacks and strokes. So for one's health, well being and longevity, one needs to have as little to do with gum disease as possible.

4) Avoid sodas, colas, beer and other acidic drinks: Of course avoid all beverages such as sodas, colas, beer, coffee, alcoholic/sugary beverages, and "foods" such as sweets, dried fruit, refined carbohydrates, cakes, cookies, and all other such nutritional catastrophes widely and sadly mistaken for nourishment or food. If one has to have something, it would be far better to enjoy a refreshing non-sweetened herbal tea such as green tea. Avoid the modern American diet (MAD) as much as possible! The common American habit of eating pizzas, hamburgers, and chips, while drinking beer, colas and pasteurized milk is spiritually, morally and physically disastrous. Instead please follow the nutritional guidelines discussed on this page and other articles on sound nutrition. Please also be aware that even the most healthy food and substances such as citrus fruit, lemons, lemon juice, sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar, acidophilus (essential for healthy digestion), vit. C crystals, and kombucha (recommended on other parts of my website) contain concentrated acidic substances that can remove tooth enamel if too much is consumed, too often. Never have snacks containing these substances, and never snack anyway, period. Have the kombucha, sauerkraut, etc. only as a small, but essential part of a main meal for flavor and better health, which should only be of benefit when part of a complete meal.

5) Use toothpastes containing only simple, healthy ingredients: After every meal, brush and soak teeth in a toothpaste containing CQ10, grapefruit seed extract, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), green tea, and calcium powder. "Periobrite" by "Nature's Answer" contains most of the above ingredients. This one and similar brands of toothpaste should be available in any health food store. However, avoid those products which contain fluoride which is a highly controversial substance. Fluoride only temporarily hardens enamel yet makes it even more susceptible to tooth decay later on and can be very toxic/fatal in large doses. Carefully brushing teeth, gums (and maybe tongue as well) after every meal is extremely important because brushing is essential for oral hygiene, brushing helps keep breath fresh, brushing prevents the build-up of unsightly stains, brushing helps to keep saliva more alkaline, and brushing removes particles of food that would otherwise quickly leave damaging acidic residue on teeth.

6) Remineralize your teeth with "NovaMin" (calcium sodium phosphosilicate): Thank God for calcium phosphate remineralization - For those who are seriously interested in rebuilding damaged and/or painful tooth surfaces there is a product called "Dr. Collins Restore Remineralizing Toothpaste" (contains NO fluoride) helps to rebuild tooth enamel by an ionic release of minerals essential for healthy teeth such as calcium, phosphorous, sodium and silica. NovaMin (Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate) releases fully active calcium and phosphorus ions when in contact with water. NovaMin provides a higher concentration of the same ions that are naturally found in saliva. After brushing, NovaMin particles adhere to the tooth surface and continues to release ions for hours afterward. This process ensures and enhances the natural self-repair of your tooth surface. It works for me and I am very happy with it. It is a surprisingly inexpensive product for what it claims to do, so no reason not to give it a try.

7) Take a nap to brush your teeth: Lying down on one's back while brushing after every meal allows one to spend much more time and causes one to be much more thorough. While brushing always brush away from the gums (never toward them!) and also try "vibrating" the toothbrush while directly pointing it at the teeth (especially tops of molars) to loosen the tartar that often builds up on teeth and to go deeper into the cracks between molars. After brushing (hopefully for several minutes) remove the toothbrush (which should always be soft, fine bristled, and as new as possible) and if you have some spare time, allow the remineralizing product to soak in the mouth for 15 to 30 minutes. Brush after every meal and not only that, brush thoroughly to remove all acidic forming residue, tartar and ugly looking stains.

5) Drink alkalizing water ("mineral milk") instead of snacking: In addition to carefully brushing with the above remineralizing toothpaste(s), drinking a mixture of one teaspoon of dolomite for every 1.5 liters of alkaline (negatively ionized) water between every meal instead of snacking should also be a great help because its high pH (power of hydrogen) balance of alkaline minerals and negatively ionized water temporarily neutralizes the acidic residues and byproducts from acidic foods and acid producing bacteria on teeth which are the main cause of dental caries. The habit of snacking between meals is the worse thing for teeth, especially when it is the usual sugary junk food and phosphoric/citric/carbonic acid sodas so often consumed. However if one "snacked" instead on alkaline water and minerals between meals, one's saliva is bound to become more alkaline. Also one may not tend to feel as hungry because of the neutralizing effect alkaline minerals and ionized water has on hunger.

8) Keep your saliva alkaline: I would like to mention one most important factor for keeping one's teeth healthy is always having alkaline saliva. The alkalinity of one's saliva can vary greatly from individual to individual and from time to time depending on one's diet, source of drinking water, and genetic background. The continuing existence of teeth in the mouth depends largely on the chemical composition and pH of one's saliva, which if too low (acidic) allows much more tooth decay to occur. Alkaline saliva helps to protect the tooth enamel from acidic residues and is always essential to have if one is serious about keeping one's teeth for life! The best way to make sure one has high pH (alkaline) saliva is to always take some good mineral supplements high in calcium such as the ocean product called coral calcium which contains not only an excellent source of calcium but also all the trace minerals essential for health.

9) Make sure protein intake is high: Ramiel Nagel makes it very clear that the best results happen with high complete (usually of animal origin) protein diet, especially after using protein from raw food animal sources. Vegetarians should at least eat more legumes, sesame seed, sunflower and pumpkin seed, raw eggs and more protein powder. This information may sound contradictory to having an alkaline diet, but not all protein is acid forming, some protein is needed to regulate acid/alkaline balance and is essential in the rebuilding of any injury including damaged teeth.

10) A serious and permanent commitment is essential: Natural dental health and the successful healing of and prevention of dental caries requires a life-long commitment. Results may vary and never expect overnight miracles. Teeth need months under the right conditions to regenerate and these conditions sometimes can be tricky to maintain even with the information I am presenting here. This information is in NO way whatsoever a substitute for emergency dental and/or medical treatment. It is sincerely hoped that the reader is intelligent enough to assume all responsibility for his or her decisions especially when trying a new approach. One must also commit to this program in its entirety without ever skipping any of it.

"Can Nutrition Really Heal Serious Dental Caries?" and Other Frequently Asked Questions:

If I already have some serious dental caries, can they heal and completely recover? As long as one remains on the modern American diet (MAD) the answer is a definite NO. Once the outer tooth enamel has been lost the infection has most likely already spread deep within the tooth. It would usually be too late to avoid the drill, root canals, etc. required to stop the condition from getting far worse. However, a total and permanent commitment to an alkaline forming diet high in phosphorous, vitamin A, D, E, K, raw proteins, calcium, magnesium and other alkaline minerals, grass fed butter, Norwegian cod liver oil, lecithin, essential fatty acids, raw greens, circulation enhancing herbs, brushing with enamel building toothpaste, non-snacking, etc. may make it possible for even the worse decay to come to a halt and actually heal. The tooth won't grow back but it is possible for it to heal and form a thin transparent shield inside the area of the cavity. There are on certain websites, more information and proof, videos by Ramiel Nagel and some actual photos taken by Dr. Weston Price of how a cavity stopped getting worse and actually healed after many months on a similar regimen as my own (except for the organ meats).

How would a vegetarian also benefit from the "Weston A. Price" research? There are many organic animal products such as organic raw milk and organic raw grass fed butter, raw eggs, raw organ meats, fermented raw fish, bone broth, and raw bone marrow products that Ramiel Nagel says are essential. I do not believe the organ meats, raw fish and bone marrow, are necessary as long as one takes plenty of complete protein from other sources such as raw eggs (or even small fish such as sardines), avoids snacking, drinks plenty of "mineral milk" (dolomite) between meals, takes coral calcium, takes some form of liquid or granular lecithin, takes plenty of vitamins A & D and mineral supplements, drinks grass fed, organic raw milk, uses only grass fed raw butter, takes cod liver oil, flax seed oil, uses mineral-building toothpastes after every meal, avoids pastry and flour products, and stays on an alkaline forming diet, etc. I don't think it is necessary in addition to all of the above to also eat raw organ meats, bone marrow, muscles, and/or fermented fish heads! Even though I hope it is not necessary to eat anything from and by which an animal is harmed, I am nevertheless referring to Ramiel Nagel's website and video anyway because his findings are very interesting, educational, and are a valuable contribution to 100% natural and nutritional approaches to dental rejuvenation for which there is only a scant trace of information on the internet available. Ramiel also provides much information in his e-book for those who prefer to be vegetarian.

Is flossing really necessary? It seems that nearly every oral care professional I have studied insists that flossing is essential. I suppose for those who are stuck on the modern American diet (MAD) flossing may indeed be essential! One unnatural behavior often requires another to counteract it! However, as long as one follows all the guidelines on this page and other diet sections of this website I see no reason to floss. After over 50 years of not flossing my teeth I have never had any serious problems between my gums and teeth -- except when I did try to floss them for a few weeks! I never received any benefit from flossing whatsoever -- only cut or sore gums and the shoving of rotten food residue even further down between the gums and teeth so that my gums would flare up severely the next day. Flossing seemed a tremendous waste of time and effort and boy did it hurt whenever I accidentally drove that razor thin, sharp strand of cotton right through one of my gums!

This information sounds too good to be true, can one actually completely do without a dentist? Why should humans who did just fine for nearly three million years suddenly start needing dentists? Something's wrong somewhere! However, one must first carefully study and follow through with all the information on this page and on other articles I have written, and please read the book, "Cure Tooth Decay: Heal and Prevent Cavities with Nutrition" by Ramiel Nagel. I think it might be a good idea to continue checking in with your dentist from time to time to see if the dietary and other changes really are healing your teeth and gums. One's approach, of course, must be individualized. For example one must decide whether a vegetarian or meat based diet will be consumed and/or to what extent if any continuing dental care and type of oral care is to be used. The vegetarian approach requires more supplements and better absorption than the meat approach, however. I am trying the heavy supplemented vegetarian approach but with plenty of Norwegian cod liver oil, occasional small fish such as sardines and salmon, chicken, raw eggs, etc.

After nine months on a heavily supplemented (mainly vegetarian) regimen using at least 6500 IU vitamin D and 6 grams of dolomite daily, and even with no butter oil(!), I am still getting amazing results even better than expected: not only has decay stopped, normal tooth color (white enamel!) is returning in areas where there was at one time only decay.

From around 2002 to 2008 I was often worried about my teeth and how I was going to afford a dentist, face up to the dreadful treatment, etc. Now I am not worried at all and am truly grateful to Ramiel Nagel and Dr. Weston A. Price for showing me that teeth can actually regenerate! Whoever said teeth cannot heal themselves know nothing of the amazing healing powers of correct eating, nutritional supplements, and of the body!

The Good Thing About Sonicare Electric Toothbrush

!±8± The Good Thing About Sonicare Electric Toothbrush

When it comes to electric toothbrushes, Sonicare is on top. It works fast by vibrating the fluid in and around the teeth and is effective for dental plaque elimination, as well as gum and root cleaning. The Sonicare electric toothbrush is truly a revelation when it comes to dental care. It achieves something that other toothbrushes have been experimenting on for years. The concept of the Sonicare toothbrush is simply something that deserves attention.

Sonic technology makes use of high speed vibrations in achieving over-all dental care and hygiene. Although it is quite pricey, it is not as expensive as undergoing dental surgery. It is also a more effective way of whitening your teeth as compared to using teeth whitening gels. The Sonicare can be considered as the best electric toothbrush because it achieves its purpose without asking too much from the user. It is easy-to-use and very handy. It can be taken anywhere, since it's rechargeable. It is also hygiene friendly and its heads can be changed regularly for more positive effects.

The Sonicare electric toothbrush also has a timer that is programmed to turn off after two minutes. Everything is made easier for its user.

If used properly on a regular basis (2-3 times daily), the Sonicare toothbrush will effectively stop cavities and the building up of gum disease. The proper way of using the Sonic toothbrush is by continuing to brush the teeth for around two minutes or until the toothbrush stops its vibrating action. However, if you feel that your teeth have not had enough, you have the option of pressing a button that will turn the toothbrush on again. This time, however, your toothbrush won't stop automatically as you will have to press the same button again.

How will you know that your Sonicare is the genuine one? Simple. The Sonicare electric toothbrush has a brush head that vibrates and is capable of producing more than around 30,000 brush strokes in a span of one minute. This is a far cry from the usual frequency exhibited by conventional electric toothbrushes, which stands between 2,500 and 7,500 strokes in a minute. This is what truly sets apart the Sonicare electric toothbrush, and which perhaps makes it one of the best electric toothbrushes available on the market today.

They say that over-all personal hygiene is important in order to achieve over-all good health. With the Sonicare electric toothbrush, this makes it now very achievable.
