Your hair and nails are both very good indicators of the general health condition of your body. If you are suffering from illness or stress then that is sure to be reflected in your skin, hair and fingernails. Your hair may have conditions like brittleness, thinning, breaking, and splitting when neglected or when you are in a very stressful situation. Jerrold D. Bass also tells his clients that their hair will show evidence of neglect if their body is deficient in essential nutrients and vitamins.

Most of us know that nutrition is very important for our bodies. But even though hair and fingernails are just dead cells, they are an important indicator of the general well being of a person, says Jerrold D. Bass. When your body is lacking in essential nutrients, or if it loses the ability to absorb nutrients from the food it receives, then your body will use up its internal resources. This causes weaknesses that will be outwardly reflected in the skin, hair and fingernails.

So if you want to be sure to have beautiful, healthy hair, Jerrold D. Bass says to make sure that you consume foods that contain the essential vitamins like vitamin A (produces healthy sebum in the scalp), vitamin C (antioxidant), vitamin E (improves scalp circulation), Biotin (produces Keratin), Inositol (keeps hair follicles healthy), Niacin (promotes scalp circulation) and pantothenic acid, Para-Aminobenzoic Acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 that prevent graying and hair loss.

Most vitamins are derived from food. The most common food-based sources of vitamins are: citrus fruits, green vegetables, fruits like pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, potatoes, green peppers, cheese, vegetable oils, soybean, raw seeds, dried beans, wheat germ oil, brewer’s yeast, whole grains, eggs, liver, rice, milk, fish, turkey, chicken and red meat. Other nutrients required by the body are proteins and minerals like iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium and essential fatty acids.

Jerrold D. Bass utilizes several hair care products available in the market today that act as essential vitamins for hair and nails. These are in the form of oils, shampoos, gels, sprays, lotions and creams. Many must be prescribed by specialists but some are also available over the counter. However, Jerrold D. Bass recommends that you consult a specialist before using these products. That way you will be sure to select the product that will maximize benefits to your own specific hair condition.

It’s not too long nor is it too short. A medium length haircut is perfect for nearly everyone, whether the hair is straight and ultra-fine, or thick and quite curly. Jerrold D. Bass says that there is a medium hairstyle to suit your unique tastes and hair type. The popularity of medium-length hair has never waned, and remains extremely popular today. In fact, most hairstyles that you see can be considered medium-length styles.

Just think about a textured bob or layered haircuts. Most of these look their best at a medium length. Many of Jerrold D. Bass’ clients choose a medium length over other types of styles. The medium style is easier and quicker to style than long hair and it provides a lot more options for styling than short hair. Whether you wear it up or down, medium length hair offers a great deal of variety to the wearer.

Quick and Casual
Whether your hair is straight or curly, you can style it in just a minute to create a simple, casual updo. Just pull your hair up into a bun, French twist or ponytail, allowing a few sprigs to escape here and there, and presto! You’ve got a great look. Try a couple variations of the ponytail and add interest to your style by changing the amount of hair that you pull through your scrunchie.

Funky and textured
Many stylists like Jerrold D. Bass have perfected styles utilizing textured, creative cutting techniques. By using a combination of scissors and razor, Jerrold D. Bass can turn any client’s hair into a fashion statement complete with wispy layers and interesting movement.

Cute and curled
Jerrold D. Bass says that this hairstyle is very easy to do well if you have curly hair. If not, he suggests that you add interest to your style with hot rollers, tube rollers or a curling iron. Just roll your hair, spritz it a little, take it down, run your fingers through your hair, spray and go!

Captivating color
A medium-length cut is a great length to try funky, fresh color techniques. If you don’t like it, just cut it! From chunky highlights to ink-dipped tips, Jerrold D. Bass suggests that your hairstyle stand out from the rest with interesting color. Then, while others are stuck styling their hair the same old way, you can quickly change your medium hair to reflect your mood or the occasion.
