DULL HAIR

Bring back the shine to your hair! Lemon juice has been used to bring back life to dull hair. Apple cider vinegar can also give your hair more bounce and shine. If you have dry hair, apply a little oil, such as safflower oil or olive oil, on it. This serves as a conditioner for the hair. It also helps replace the moisture that your hair has lost, and helps keep the moisture in.

OILY HAIR

For hyperactive oil glands, try using baby powder to make your hair less oily. This simple remedy works better for blondes.

FRIZZY HAIR

Is your hair springing out of your head at various angles? If you have frizzy hair, try using a little oil, such as coconut oil or olive oil, on your hair to straighten it out a bit. Be careful not to put too much, as it may make your hair greasy. If you have naturally frizzy hair, use a conditioner more frequently. Too much use of shampoo strips away the natural oils from your hair, leaving it even more frizzed than before.

THIN HAIR

Is hair loss a problem for you? Before you decide to use any medicines or chemicals on your head, try using essential oils first. Essential oils, such as rosemary and ylang-ylang, allegedly stimulate the growth of hair. Aside from this, essential oils also serve as rejuvenators for your hair.

DANDRUFF

Do you have a flaky, itchy scalp? Try using vinegar on your hair to get rid of dandruff. Mix white or apple cider vinegar with some water, and use it as a shampoo. The vinegar is poured and massaged into the hair, and rinsed out. Do this daily for several days, until the dandruff is no longer there.

People judge us on how we look before we even say a word. Every relationship is initially based on the first impression. Often, this opportunity comes in the form of a first date.  While it’s not an exact science, there are plenty of ways you can make your “look” work in your favour on a first date. For girls, it can be incredibly stressful trying to make sure you look good on your first date, from beginning to end.

 No need to get panic. Here are some tips for the perfect look for a date.

 Plan your outfit. Try to do this a few days ahead of time, if you’re rushing at the last minute you could end up with something that looks good but is uncomfortable. Keep your outfit simple and don’t overdress for the occasion. If you’re going out to see a movie, then maybe girls wear jeans or a skirt and a nice top, and guys wear jeans and a clean button up shirt. Stay as simple as the date. But not too simple, you don’t want to look like a homeless person. Wear something versatile in case you extend the date.

 Men! Remember to wear comfortable shoes! Girls are greatly impressed by men’s shoes.

 Girls! Start preparing early. Have good dental hygiene. Brushing your teeth well with herbalbrand paste or powder and having that beautiful smile will be a great confidence booster for you. Work on making your teeth the whitest they can be because remember, first impressions are lasting impressions.

 Shower carefully and dry your hair.  Polish your nails with a homely made  manicure. Give them ample time to dry. Use basic makeup. Go for a naturally radiant look, better to use herbal products.

 Make sure you look good from head to toe. The way you dress should make you look good and smart. Even in a pair of jeans, you can still look good. Some people wear their jeans very well. By now you should already have an idea if you look good in your jeans or not. Men, make sure your hair always looks good and women the same for you.

 Makeup is tricky. It’s all about balance; you want to avoid the heavy make up look just as much as the no makeup looks. Makeup done perfectly will subtly hide things you want to hide and flaunt your assets; you just need to be careful that you don’t do things the other way around.

 Remember, your date wants to see you, not your thirty cocktail rings, and blinding gold earrings.

 Have good personal hygiene.  No food in your teeth; No stained clothing!

 Be confident! It will do wonders for your appearance. If he didn’t like you, he wouldn’t ask you out.

 Don’t overdo it on the perfume! The only time a person should smell your perfume is when they are in your personal bubble.

Use deodorant! If shaving your legs before, make sure you go slowly so you don’t have razor burn or cuts on your legs.

 Follow the above tips for a successful date look.

Treat Yourself To Home Manicure And Pedicure

 A manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the fingernails and hands enjoyed by both sexes. A manicure can treat just the hands, just the nails, or both.

 Soak your hands with body wash to soften your skin and cuticles. Use a buffing block to gently buff away dead skin and make your nails shine. Use the cuticle scissors to snip away any hang nails with out cutting your cuticles.

While your hands are moist with water, apply a moisturing lotion or cream for a few minutes. Then wipe off with a wet wash cloth.

Use a cotton ball with nail polish remover to remove any residue from nails, so that you have clean nails when you apply polish. Next, apply a base coat. Then apply a nail polish. Finally, apply a top coat.

Some mistakes commonly committed when manicure is carried out at home.

1. Don’t cut the nails back and forth using an emery board and deeply cut the nail from the left and right corner. Thus the nails are most likely to get split and worn out.
2. Do not neglect the cuticular part of the nail as it can cause the problem of hangnails.
3. Do not nip away at the cuticles; Push the cuticles with a cloth gently as it can cause nail infection.
4. Before you apply a polish to your nail you should first lace it with a base coat. 
5. Replace the nail polish after every five days because too many coats will dehydrate the nails and therefore remove the top layer of the nail

  How to Do Pedicure At Home

First, fill a basin with a gallon of warm water and commercial foot soaking tablets or liquids.  Soak feet twenty minutes to soften calluses and corns. Discard water. Pat feet dry with a towel.

Using a skin file, remove dead skin cells. Primary areas of concern are often heels and balls of feet. A pumice stone also works well to remove rough calluses and dry spots.

Next clean under nail tips and clip. Be sure to file splits or rough edges.

Base coat polish is generally used to fortify and protect the nail itself. Select a color for the second coat that you feel matches your skin tone. The third coat can be a clear polish designed to protect the color from chipping.

Application of polish should be the last step in the home pedicure. Cover nails with a thin coat.
Next, apply the polish color of your choice. Dry for the time recommended on the nail polish label.
Finish with a clear protective coat. Allow this to dry thoroughly. Be careful to not touch polish until it is completely dry as this causes smudges and takes away from the glossy texture. Reapply a clear coat every two or three days to shield pedicure and refresh shine. For best results use cosmetics or beauty products of herbal brand.
