Stop those Split Ends



Split ends is a major problem faced by many people. Hair care is a delicate issue and despite the onslaught of several hair care products, one cannot get rid of all the hair problems in a jiffy. Many products do help in bringing that shine and beauty to the hair but they also do not have answers to all the problems faced by hair. In such cases, it is better to take preventive measures. Split end is one of the most common problems. They harm in two different ways of damaging your hair and stunting the growth. They also cause rough hair. As suggested above, it is better if you take preventive measures well in advance.

The first thing you need to take care is of avoid using chemical ridden materials. Natural stuffs are always recommended for better hair. Chemical materials adversely affect hair texture in the long run. Swimmers often face problem of split ends because of chlorine in the water. For them, using swim cap or shampooing hair properly after the swim is strongly recommended. Water coming through your tap is full of chemicals and these cause split ends. Use filters to get better water and prevent your hair from getting split ends. Alternately, you can also use water softening system in the house.

Hair must be combed straight. Back-combing causes great damage to hair. One should not comb hair too much as it causes split ends. Just a fw times and it is more than sufficient. Try using a pick or wide-toothed comb that would be greatly beneficial for your hair. Be very gentle to your hair. Try wearing hat while you go out in sun because ultraviolet rays affect hair. You can also use a conditioner that suits your hair type and apply it before every outing. Avoid using artificial way of drying like hair dryer as they cause split ends.

Nail Art



Nail art is the most happening trend and the latest fashion today. Neat and groomed nails reflect one’s personality and so every Indian woman is becoming possessive and concern about her nails. Taking care of your nails generally begins with manicure and ends up with nail paints, shimmers, nail tattoos and many more nail decorations.
The history of nail decoration is traced back to 3000 B.C when the first nail polish was originated in China.
Ingredients like gum Arabic, gelatin and bees wax were used to create varnishes and lacquers for the nails. Women also used to color their nails with henna or with the juices of bark trees. These methods of nail colors were used for several years but later with the advancement in science and technology new methods came up.
The modern age came up with outstanding nail art and various nail products of fine quality, finish and color. These products cater to the beauty needs of women and help them keep their nails rocking, beautiful and colorful. Sleek, flashy and trendy shades of nail paints with variety of textures and embellishments are flooding the markets today.
The Indian fashion market with various artistic, creative and innovative nail accessories has made a benchmark in the area of cosmetology.

The most popular nail accessories and nail art are as follows:



- Nail Stripes: These are available in various designs and shapes. To apply these strips gently peel off and lay the stripe across the nail.


- Stars and Dots: These are available in the form of nail stickers or nail polish. Some of the nail polish that is available in the market today comprises of stars and glitters floating in them. These look very attractive and enhance the look of the fingers.

Fashion Tips

Fashion is an industry that keeps changing rapidly. Hence it is important that you keep yourself updated with new fashion of the season and its related colors.

Some of the common fashion tips that I can share are as follows:

* If you are going to buy a new pair of shades for you, it is necessary that you know the shape of your face. If you have a round face, avoid wearing shades that are very big and round. Opt for shades that are sleek and rimless.

* Remember to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful UV rays by wearing a minimum SPF 15 sunscreen every day.

* While applying your eye liner or lip liner, make sure that it does not smudge across the eye. In case you feel this is happening shift to a liner that is liquid base. This will make sure that the liner does not smudge on the eye.

* Most people do not take proper care of their nails. It is not necessary that you get expensive manicures and pedicures every week but soaking your hands in warm water, removing the dirt and moisturizing your nails is important. This can be done sitting at home as well.

* Always keep a lip balm with you. This tip goes for guys as well. Applying lip balm will make sure that your lips are well moisturized.
