Hairstyles And Hair Care For Short Hair


Hairstyles And Hair Care For Short Hair


Since time long hair have been considered as the most prominent feature of physical appearance when describing feminine beauty but after the emergence of short hair cuts it has acquired a whole new meaning.

Long tresses and beauty got a whole new dimension in 1920 when “Bob Culture” rather Bob civilization emerged. As Designer Donna Karen states,” short hair epitomizes the 90’s. It’s like a great dress – you just step into it and go”. Women then accepted it with whole-heartedly and since then short haircuts are considered as cosmopolitan and chick.

Short hair is easy to maintain as they can be washed and conditioned daily, require less maintenance, can be cut fast. In today’s times they go well with working women’s schedules, as they require less efforts to look trendy.

Short hair is not for everyone, as it requires the right attitude to carry it well. Short hairstyles work in extremes, for some short hair might make their appearance horrendous, while for others they may spell elegance and style. It all depends on your face shape and hair texture.

Short hair looks best on the people with oval face and totally avoidable for the people with round shaped face. They can be styled very easily in different ways. The straight out of bed look, messy hairstyle is in vogue these days, with bangs, curl outs and layered hair. One advantage with short haircuts is that extensions can be added whenever you wish to have long tresses.

Be it long or short hair, it requires care and attention with some do’s and don’ts. Oil them twice a week, shampoo and condition, trim them from time to time and cleanse for dandruff treatment. Have a healthy and balanced diet. Don’t make use of hard shampoos, gel and Mousse.

Much use of hair pressing machines, hair colors & bleaching can be bad for your hair. A few Hollywood celebrities with short haircuts are Emma Watson, Eva Longoria, Rihanna, and Halle Berry.

So if you are tired of your old long hair then get ready to chop your hair into a short hairstyle with bangs or fringes, choppy messy hair, blunts or wedges. People who think short hair is a faux pau then you should ignore them completely.

Hairstyles Suited for a Long Face

Hairstyles Suited for a Long Face

December 9, 2010


To decide on your hairstyle, you first need to know the shape of your face. The best way to know the shape of your face is to outline it in a mirror. The outline of your face should tell you if you have a long face. You have a long face if your face forms an oval on the mirror that is more longer than it is wide.

When choosing a hairstyle that is suited for your face, you should make sure that you visit a good stylist who recognises not only the shape of your face, but also the type of hair you have. Most good stylists suggest and customize haircuts to suit a face. A good haircut can do wonders for your look and attitude as well.

For a long face, the most common style that suits is shoulder length hair. Wearing your hair a little longer than shoulder length along with a few layers works best for oblong faces. Slight curls at the bottom also look good. A layer cut that starts right below your chin frames your face and gives it a good look.

The most important thing to remember is that for your face style, since it is longer than it is wide, you need to add more volume on the sides to make your face appear more balanced. A blunt cut is a good idea for long faces. A cut that ends right below the ears looks good.

Most people with long faces tend to have broad foreheads as well. A good way to disguise the length of your face as well as your forehead is by getting a fringe worked into your haircut. A fringe looks good when maintained well and cut well. The fringe should not be light and feathery, but instead give good coverage to your forehead. A side swept fringe looks best.

Most haircuts look good with long faces, but some styles need to be avoided if you want your face to look proportional. Poker straight hair just adds length to your face and should definitely be avoided. Make sure you don’t keep your hair too short or too long. Lastly, a bad haircut can make you look older, so make sure you feel good with the haircut you get.

A healthy approach to the life



A healthy approach to the life

There are few things that can reflect how much one cares about his life, happiness, relationships and at last his proper body care. A man or a woman has only one life to live, so why not to live this great gift well? Why to not spare some time and efforts for having good body care and to love ourselves?

Good body care is quite simple and can also be hard; all at the same time. It is simple to follow and easy to adopt that it is really possible to gain a longer, healthier life if one has good body care habits right from the beginning. It turns extremely hard, nevertheless, since it means to break old habits and to work hard making new habits. It is now the time to start some new body care program first by making goals for our own body.

Begin body care

Body care would begin with really caring about our own body. It goes simple and redundant even, but it is fact. One would never see significant betterments or favorable changes in the condition of the body unless it is deeply taken care about. Overall caring would make the body healthy and vibrant.

One of the very first and easiest methods for improving the body care, as suggested not only by ancient holistic practitioners but also supported by modern scientists, is to drink enough and adequate quantity of plain and fresh water. This should replace many of the sugary and caffeine loaded drinks one is used to. One might notice some differences in the energy levels, the skin, and the appetite within a short period of time. Water is one of the best methods to take good body care since it is a natural flusher and can flush out all the unwanted materials and toxins from the body.

Few other recommendations for body care

Another obvious and important component to good body care is to get more active. This not necessarily means that one has to sign up to run the next internationally recognized Marathon ! But it does mean that one should have to spend at least some time (for about twenty to thirty minutes) for some cardio exercises, if not daily, at least every other day. One can also go for a brisk walk or jogging, playing some games such as lawn-tennis since they all are good for body care.

One should go for doing the things he or she enjoys. The essential thing for good body care is that one should remain active. Inactivity is one of the most hazardous matters that can deposit fatty layers inside the body inviting many other health ailments and makes the life difficult to live.

Another non-ignorable thing for taking good body care is diet. Grab some health books and begin to learn about the things one should be eating and the things one must restrict. Educating one ’s self and then beginning implementation of changes to fit your lifestyle, budgets, and goals would be way for good body care. Green leafy vegetables, fresh fruit juices, light diet, avoiding alcohol, tobacco and other brain stimulating narcotics is best way for good health.

Some therapies to body care are given below

Alpha therapy: This is used with light and sound waves for relieving stress and increase concentration levels.

Moisturizing treatments: In this, there is deep cleansing and exfoliation that is then complied by some deep tissue massages and herbal moisturizing treatment also sometimes using marine sediments.

Mud wrapping: This can treat arthritis and muscle-ache. For this, one can apply warm mud layer onto the body and then wrap it with warm blanket.

Seaweed wrapping: This too is to reduce muscular and joint pains and also to reduce cellulite. For this, seaweed paste is used with essential oils those are applied onto the body for relaxing and energizing the body, nourishing the skin and eliminating toxins altogether.

Sauna-bath: This is nothing but an enclosed room having the steam diffused with some beneficial essential oils to open the chocked-up pores and to moisturize the skin and to invigorate the entire body.

6 Recipes For A Homemade Facial Cleanser

6 Recipes For A Homemade Facial Cleanser

When visiting the beauty department of your local drug or department store, you are sure to find an assortment of skin cleansers and beauty creams. These beauty products can range in cost from fairly inexpensive to being forced to find a second job to fund your various beauty selections. When it comes to skin care, there are many products you can purchase that work well, but there are also equally as beneficial recipes that you can whip up at home. So if you’re looking for a homemade facial cleanser, here are a few ideas …

1. It is said that Miracle Whip has the power and properties to get rid of dead skin cells. To start a Miracle Whip facial, you will want to spread a thin layer all over your face. Leave this on your face for about 10 minutes and then gently massage it in. Once you have finished the massage, rinse your skin with warm water. Although the smell may be unpleasant while the Whip is on your face, you will be rewarded greatly for the time and effort put in. It should make your skin feel smooth and taut. You may repeat this homemade skin cleanser whenever you feel the need.

2. Another homemade face cleanser you can try consists of raw sugar and olive oil. Although it may be a bit more expensive, raw sugar is more course and will help to exfoliate the skin. Mix one cup of sugar with one half cup of olive oil. Rub the mixture into your skin with a wash cloth and then rinse. If you desire, you may also mix in a bit of thyme. This will give the mixture a pleasant scent.

3. Plain yogurt can also be used as a great way to clean and moisturize your face. Yogurt has many cultures and ingredients that are great for the skin. Using yogurt will also eliminate use of harsh chemicals and fragrances found in many moisturizers that may irritate sensitive skin.

4. There are some options that are better than others for different skin types. Oily skin will benefit from the use of lemon juice. You can mix lemon juice with fruit and yogurt to create a homemade face cleanser for oily skin. The acid in the lemon juice will help in reducing clogged pores and acne breakouts.

5. Olive oil and eggs are great for dry skin. Although olive oil may make oily skin worse, it produces the opposite effect for dry skin. Try mixing together one egg with one tablespoon of olive oil. This mixture will help rehydrate dry skin.

6. If you are interested in mixing a batch of facial cleaner, try mixing one half cup of honey, 2 cups of oatmeal and one third cup of corn meal. Massage the mixture onto your face, not forgetting your neck, then rinse with warm water. This homemade facial cleanser will help get your skin clean with the added benefit of the corn meal to get rid of dead skin.

Any of the above homemade facial cleansers should work well for sensitive skin. Because the natural ingredients found in these mixtures have no chemicals or dyes, these recipes are ideal for the person that has a hard time finding the right solution.

Introduction to the Skin care



Introduction to the Skin care

With lots of factor, the skin changes and such changes in skin are both; intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic changes can be defined as the changes appearing with ageing of body. Extrinsic changes, on the other hand, are due to external factors such as sun, smoking, gravity and improper skin care. We can’t stop any intrinsic changes since that is programmed in the body, but one can surely change the overall habits and hence, can lessen the changes because of extrinsic factors.

Why take skin care?

Let us look at the changes in skin because of the most common factor – the ageing. As it is well known that the skin has three layers namely; epidermis (outer layer), dermis (middle layer) and subcutaneous layer that is underneath the dermis. As one grows, the epidermis or the outermost layer starts beginning to become thinner. The melanocytes (kind of pigments that contain cells) decrease. Though melanocytes diminish in number they increase in sizes. This gives a kind of pale complexion to the skin. Ageing changes because of the sunrays such as liver spots or lentigo appearance. They are also known as aging spots. The blood vessels in the dermis start to lose strengths and easily turn to bruising and bleeding underneath the skin. The subcutaneous layer supporting with fat padding to skin also becomes thinner. This would again increase the risk of getting skin injuries. Both sweating gland and sebaceous gland becomes less active.

Because of aging, meeting day-by-day pollution and other irritants, the skin loses its suppleness, textures and strengths. With aging spots and other pigmentations, the look is lost and skin becomes dull. With weakening of strengths, it becomes easy for skin to get damaged easily. Healing will become very slow and amazingly, the healing is four times as slow in advanced age than to youthful years. Skin will turn dry and the senses of touch heat etc. reduce considerably. Other growths like skin tags, warts, mar the appearance foster.

Skin care tips

A facial mask of egg white and honey helps removing the tan from the face.

Mixing oats with honey, yoghurt and ground almonds is very good. One can apply this on the face, leave it for about 10 min and then wash with lukewarm water.

Cucumber is very natural cleanser. For this, one can take cucumber juice with milk and use this in place of a cleanser.

Take 1/3 -cup cocoa, 3 tsp of some moisturizing cream, 1/3 - cup ripe papaya, ¼ - cup of honey and 3 tsp of oatmeal powder. Blend them all together and then apply this mixture onto the face. After 15 min, washing the face with lukewarm water becomes beneficial especially for the oily skin.

For the oily skin one can also go for application of a mixture of grapes, lemon and eggs’ whites. Leave this for about 15 min and rinse with lukewarm water. While lemon will act as a natural cleanser, grapes penetrate deep into the skin and soften it. Egg white tightens it.

One can simply cut the lemon and rub that all across the face. Leave it for about 15 min, and then wash it off with cold water. This refreshes the face. However, one should avoid this if having the dry skin.

Mix honey, lemons and vegetables’ oil .This mixture is a favorable moisturiser for drier skin. Apply this mask for 15 min.

One of the best remedies for skin care is to apply the mixture of honey and milk all over the face since it makes the skin glow.

One can prepare a mask. For this, mix a slice of pumpkin with egg yolks and milk. Let the mask stay on the face for about half an hour for a glowing skin.

Mix ½ cup of honey to the bathwater for softer and smoother skin.

To get soothing body pack, prepare a paste out of mint leaf and fresh almonds. Mix it with lukewarm water and apply on the body. Leave it till it gets dried and rinse with lukewarm water.

Buttermilk dabbing onto the skin for 20 min soaks up oil from the skin without making it dry.

Carrot juice can also be applied to get rid of daily fades and/or blemishes.

If one has dark underarms and neck, applying lemon juice blended with cucumber juice and a little bit of turmeric daily is beneficial. Leave this there for about half an hour before rinsing.

If one wants to remove facial hair, application of a sticky paste of egg white mixed up with sugar and corn flour gives favorable results.

IS JUST A SHAMPOO ENOUGH?

By Yahoo! India

You protect your skin with a sunscreen, but have you ever wondered if you're doing enough to keep your hair healthy and happy? Over a period of time, hair tends to lose its original sheen, owing to a lot of factors like pollution, stress, dietary changes, climatic conditions, etc. Here's a post-wash hair care regime that ensures your hair stays healthy always.

Everyone needs a conditioner!

Yes, that's a fact. After accepting that, the next step is to choose the right conditioner for your hair type. When choosing a conditioner, don't just think of your hair texture, but also identify what is your specific hair requirement - do they feel too dry after a wash, or do they break easily, or is there notable hair fall? With a conditioner that matches your hair care requirement, you can experience the transformation of your lovely locks in just a few weeks.

What does a hair conditioner do?

A hair conditioner has 3 essential functions - Moisturising, Repair and Protection. It acts like a moisturising agent on your hair, making them softer. While your shampoo gets rid of dirt and grime, your hair conditioner repairs hair damage due to pollution, hair treatments, etc., making them stronger and elastic. It also coats your hair to make them look smooth and shiny.

Remember: A shampoo with a built-in conditioner is simply not enough to do the job!

What are the benefits?

Conditioning your hair after a wash helps keep your tresses healthy and manageable, thus preventing breakage. The instant benefits are quite visible - your hair feels softer and looks smoother. But regular use assures long-term advantages - protection of your strands, making them stronger, which results in lesser hair breakage, and a fuller mane. It is a good practice to condition your hair every time you shampoo it.

What's the right way to apply a conditioner?

After washing off the shampoo from your hair, use a towel to pat-dry it gently. Typically, the roots of the hair do not need extra conditioning, so apply your conditioner from half-way down your hair shaft and extended downwards to the tips. The quantity depends on a number of factors like the length of your hair and how often you condition. Do check the instructions on the pack as well. Usually, a dollop of the size of a walnut should be enough.

Complete your hair care regime, choose the right conditioner and be the envy of the town with silky soft tresses that shine!
