Losing weight is the aim of many women and men, especially with swimming season upon us. But, when trying  to lose weight, it is important to focus on all health and not just the pounds on the scale. With a reduction of calories, there is often a reduction in the nutrition provided to the body. Thus, you may look better in that bathing suit, but your hair will be dull, dry and brittle. Add in a little chlorine from the pool and you are talking months of damage.

In order to keep your hair healthy and strong while losing weight, it is important to take a daily vitamin and eat enough protein and calories to keep the body healthy.

Losing weight fast may seem like the perfect choice with vacations and pool parties popping up left and right, but the 1 to 2 pounds a week recommendation is there for a reason. Losing more than 1 to 2 pounds per week, average, can mean your body is not getting all of the nutrients it needs and calories it wants to stay healthy. A happy medium of slow, even weight loss will provide your body with all it needs to stay healthy and thus keep your hair shiny, strong and beautiful.

 Losing weight is a noble choice, but sacrificing your hair for the scale is not something you should have to do. Take that vitamin everyday, eat foods rich in Zinc, Vitamin A, Vitamin B-6 and protein and you will be thinner is no time at all with a healthy head of hair.

Short hairstyles are often referred to as the hairstyles that are easiest to maintain. Short hair requires more frequent cuts and often better care in order to keep the small amount of hair you have, in great shape. With many of celebrities that have chosen short hair styles, one fact is consistent with them all. Short hair styles require LOTS of layers.

No More cutting hair in a straight line! Many that choose short hairstyles actually go into the salon telling the stylist not to cut the lengths the same. This edgy new technique brings a bit of the wild side out in those who choose to go crazy with layers.

The great thing about these cuts is their versatility. You can tuck the style behind the ear and create your own simple prom hairstyles. Then you can pick a putty and style it wild for a little night time fun.

Short hair does not have to be tame all the time or be exactly like current celebrity hairstyles. The right cut with just the right amount of layers, can serve a dual purpose. Day time sleek and night time fun, short hair is all about being who you are when you want people to see you. .
