5 tips για να απαλλαγείτε από την ψαλίδα

ΣΤΕΙΛΕ ΤΟ ΔΙΚΟ ΣΟΥ DO IT YOURSELF

Η ψαλίδα, οι άκρες δηλαδή των μαλλιών μας που "ανοίγουν", είναι η ένδειξη πως έχουμε παραμελήσει την υγεία τους, η τρίχα έχει ταλαιωρηθεί και χρειάζεται επανόρθωση. Ο μόνος τρόπος για να την αντιμετωπίσουμε είναι το συστηματικό trimming αλλά αυτό δεν αρκεί. Καλό είναι να προσέξουμε και κάποιες συνήθειές μας που κουράζουν τα μαλλιά ώστε να προλάβουμε την εμφάνιση της ψαλίδας. Όπως:


1. Το πολύ συχνό λούσιμο. Στην θεωρία δεν φαίνεται κακό, στην πράξη όμως το καθημερινό λούσιμο ταλαιπωρεί τα μαλλιά. "Ξεγυμνώνει" την τρίχα από τα φυσικά της έλαια και αυτό μπορεί να την οδηγήσει στην ξηρότητα και άρα την κάνει πιο επιρρεπή στο σπάσιμο και την ψαλίδα.

2. Το πολύ συχνό brushing. Περιορίστε το σε μία φορά τη μέρα και κυρίως, προσέξτε τον τρόπο: αν τα μαλλιά σας μπερδεύονται προσπαθήστε σιγά σιγά και με υπομονή να τα ξεμπερδέψετε με την βούρτσα σας, μην τραβάτε και σπάτε τους κόμπους άγαρμπα. Ο καλύτερος τρόπος για αυτό είναι να χρησιμοποιήσετε ένα ειδικό προϊόν styling που μαλακωνει την τρίχα και μια μεγάλη χτένα με αραιά δόντια και να χτενίζετε τα μαλλιά αφού τα έχετε χωρίσει σε τούφες.

3. Στέγνωμα με την πετσέτα. Μετά το λούσιμο τυλίγετε τα μαλλιά με την πετσέτα, και μετά τα τρίβετε κιόλας για να απορροφήσει την υγρασία- σωστά; Λάθος! Το τρίψιμο των μαλλιών με την πετσέτα είναι ό,τι χειρότερο για την ψαλίδα και για την υφή της τρίχας γενικότερα. Μπορείτε να απομακρύνετε την υγρασία χρησιμοποιώντας την πετσέτα με ταμποναριστές κινήσεις, απαλά, σε όλο το μήκος των μαλλιών.

4. Η υπερβολική χρήση των εργαλείων styling. Εννοείται πως δεν μπορούμε να φανταστούμε τη ζωή μας χωρίς πιστολάκι (τουλάχιστον), αλλά καλό είναι να μην ξεχνάμε πως η θερμότητα- όσο και αν σε αυτήν οφείλουμε τα πιο τέλεια χτενίσματα- ταλαιπωρεί την τρίχα. Επομένως, όποτε έχετε τη δυνατότητα αφήστε τα μαλλιά σας να στεγνώσουμε φυσικά και μην ξεχνάτε ποτέ, να χρησιμοποιείτε τα ειδικά προϊόντα styling που προστατεύουν τα μαλλιά από τη θερμότητα.

5. Τεχνικές εργασίες (βαφή, ανταύγειες, ισιωτική κλπ). Η επιστήμη έχει κάνει άλματα τα τελευταία χρόνια στην ποιότητα των τεχνικών εργασιών, εξασφαλίζοντας άψογο αποτέλεσμα και  inimum ταλαιπωρία στα μαλλιά (και οι εξελίξεις συνεχίζουν να τρέχουν σε αυτό τον τομέα). Εσείς μπορείτε να βάλετε ένα έξτρα χεράκι, προσφέροντας στα μαλλιά σας τη σωστή φροντίδα στο σπίτι, με θρεπτικές και ενυδατικές φόρμουλες, leave on προϊόντα με έμφαση στις άκρες και βέβαια, προγραμματίζοντας τα ραντεβού σας με τον κομμωτή σας για trimming.

Natural looking beach curls in under 20 minutes!

I don’t know about you ladies, but I’m itching for the summer. It doesn’t help that department stores are already putting out their summer wear and swimsuits.  Have you ever wanted to get that beautiful “natural” beach curl look to your hair?  I want to share with you a technique that works for ALL types of hair, whether it be short, long, thick, thin, frizzy, or flat… and no curling iron involved!

1. Dampen your hair with a spray bottle or let it semi air dry after washing it.

As you can tell, I have a lot of wave to my hair, but this works for all hair types!

2. Part your hair into four sections. They don’t have to be sectioned perfectly. Tie them off to keep them separated from each other. Spray each section lightly with hair spray.

3. Start twisting your hair in the direction you want your curl to be. I twisted mine away from my face. Keep twisting until it tightens to the point it starts to coil on its own.

4. Coil it into a tight bun and then use bobby pins to keep it in place.

5. Blow your hair until it’s dry. The longer you dry it, the tighter your curl will be.

6. Undo the bobby pins and take your buns out of their coil.

7. Separate your curls using your fingers and then scrunch to add some body.

8. You’re finished! Lightly spray with hair spray then you’re good to go!

Something to keep in mind is, obviously, the wetter your hair is to begin with, the longer it takes to dry. The longer you dry the “buns” the tighter the curls will be. This is great for a nice tight curl look! If you have shorter hair, it works better to use more sections. If you have curly/wavy hair, it works best to make your “buns” as tight as possible and dry them for a little longer.

Give it a try! It’s quick and easy! For a girl who regularly spends over an hour to curl her hair, this is a nice time saver!

Do you have any tips on how this will work on your hair type?

Back-to-School Beauty Splurges and Steals

Whether you're broke or flush with cash from your summer job, we've got a list of back-to-school beauty prep tips that will suit your budget.

1. Shape Your Brows

Well-groomed brows create a frame for your face - it's an instant way to look put-together.

Splurge: If your brows are looking bushy and you've got cash to spare, book a salon visit to get them shaped and styled.

Steal: Want to save your moolah? You can shape your brows yourself! Get started by pressing a warm, damp washcloth on brows for several seconds to soften the skin. Then use tweezers to pull out any stray hairs from beneath brows (never tweeze from above) and get those brows looking nice and neat.

Tips for DIY:

Follow the natural shape of your brows, plucking just a few hairs at a time, stepping back to check your reflection in between, and you're less likely to go overboard.

What if you've got sun-bleached brows that are barely there? Fill them in with a brow pencil in a shade close to your hair color. Make short, hair-like strokes with the tip of the pencil, for the most natural look.

Bronzed skin is in - and you can get it whether you're rich, or not-so-rich.

Splurge: Love the look of sun-kissed skin, and got dough to spend? Make a detour past the tanning salon (aka Wrinkle City), and hit a specialty salon for a spray tan to give your skin a colour boost before school goes back.

Steal: Don't have the dollars for a salon spray? Try a DIY alternative. Exfoliate your body all-over in the shower, then apply a faux tanning cream. Tip: You don't have to spend extra cash on separate body and facial tanners! Just moisturize your face first, then apply a light layer of body tanner, blending well over the jawline. And remember to follow the package instructions carefully, for the best results.

Celeb Secrets for a Fresh Face

Celebrities don't roll out of bed looking perfect... they have the help of professional makeup artists! If you struggle with puffy eyes, dark circles and dull skin in the morning, keep reading. We've got star secrets to help you look awake and refreshed every morning, even if you didn't get your eight hours.

Daytime Do's

Your schedule is probably hectic, but most stars work crazy hours. So how do celebrities and their entourages work long days (and play hard in their off-time), and still manage to look fantastic? They stick to certain habits during the day, that help them look wake up looking better. So do what they do. Drink tons of water during the day (it flushes out toxins and prevents baggy eyes), and minimize your sugar and salt intake (both can cause dull and puffy skin).

Before Bed

Celebrities (especially the women) have to look great for a living. Most share a similar before-bed beauty ritual. Here's what to do:

Before you hit the hay, make sure you cleanse and tone your skin, and give it TLC for its major issues. So if you usually wake up with tight or dry skin, apply a nighttime serum to infuse skin with moisture.

If breakouts are the problem, braid or tie your hair back for sleeping (so oils from your strands don't transfer to your face) and use cleansing products that are formulated to prevent and fight acne.

A nighttime eye treatment can be nice, but use a light touch. Piling on too much cream before bed will just increase puffiness. Instead, consider using a lighter gel with brightening peptides or soothing botanicals.

When you jump in the sack, rest your head on two pillows instead of the usual one. Elevating your head during sleep can prevent fluids from settling under eyes, so you are less likely to wake up with baggage.

When You First Wake Up

Pop your eye cream or a gel eye mask in the refrigerator for five minutes to make it cool. (Don't put it in the freezer to hurry up the process though - if it's too cold you run the risk of popping a blood vessel - not very pretty!) Leave on for 20 minutes while you get dressed, eat breakfast, or get your stuff together.

If you want to go DIY, and have the time to lie down and do nothing for 10 minutes, you can also use cold tea bags. (Just brew tea, drain off the water, and pop teabags in the fridge to cool enough to place on lids). Chamomile tea is best for this, as it's a natural anti-inflammatory.

At the Mirror

To look your I'm-awake best when you head out the door, borrow these tips we gleaned from a celebrity makeup artist.

Your skin is what everyone will notice first, so get it looking gorgeous. When you're tired, you probably either suffer from breakouts, or your skin looks dull. Combat either issue by applying a tinted moisturizer with some reflective properties (we love Smashbox Sheer Focus), for skin that looks naturally radiant. Then spot-cover any blemishes or uneven patches with a light-reflective concealer. If your skin is very oily, you could also use a mineral powder foundation, for a similar effect.

Bronzer is the celeb standby for faking a healthy complexion. Choose a powder bronzer in a shade that's fairly close to your natural skin tone - the goal is to warm up your face, not fake a full-out tan. Using a large fluffy makeup brush, dust the bronzer at temples, along cheekbones, on the bridge of your nose and your chin.

Then get a rosy glow with a cream blush (we love those made by Nars and Stila) in a pinky or peachy hue, depending on which flatters your skin tone best. Apply with fingertips on the apples of cheeks and add a tiny bit on your temples.

Wake up your eyes with a light wash of sheer, shimmery eye shadow in either beige or vanilla across your lids. Just go easy on the application! The goal is to add light and wake up your look, not make your peepers look frosty.

Run a nude or pale-blue eyeliner along the insides of lower lashlines, to instantly brighten the whites of eyes.

Then curl your top lashes and apply one or two coats of mascara, to open up your eyes and draw attention away from any puffiness. (Keep mascara off lower lashes completely, to avoid the dreaded raccoon-eye effect).

Finish your makeup look with a sheer berry lip color, which will help you look polished.
