Coloring your hair enhances your looks and confidence to carry yourself. Hair color offer instant change to anyone’s look. The changes can range from simple and subtle to major and dramatic. Hair color can also impact hair texture since it will instantly add volume to thin, fine strands and may impact curls and waves in some cases. Men and women have been coloring their hair since the beginning of time using chemicals, plants and pigments. In recent times, men and women dye their hair a variety of colors including everything from blonde to blue. Hair dye is made up of pigments (color) or bleaches. The natural color of human hair is first and foremost directly tied to hereditary factors. Hair coloring can add spice and enhance many hair styles. A good hair color can add shine, drama and fun to your hair style. It can make some hair types easier to style. Permanent hair coloring breaks down the hair cuticle and deposits pigment into the hair shaft. Unlike semi-permanent hair color, permanent hair color can lighten your hair. It accomplishes this by bleaching hair and depositing color in a one-step process.

Hair color is created by the movement of light rays either as they are absorbed or reflected by artificial pigment added to the hair in the tinting process, or by natural hair pigment.

Permanent hair color can cover gray hair more extensively. Permanent hair color can be damaging to hair, and long-term usage can result in permanent irreversible harm to your hair. Natural hair color is created by the reflection or absorption of light rays by melanin. The size, amount and distribution of melanin determines the ultimate hair color. Great numbers of large melanin molecules distributed throughout the cortext to create different colors. The various combination in the size, amount and distribution of melanin creates all natural hair color. Reapply your color as often as recommended and use products specially formulated for color-treated hair like Pantene Pro-V Expressions. Avoid over-exposing your hair to the sun and shampoo or rinse soon after swimming, or residues left in the hair will accelerate fading.

Hair coloring is very popular today, with over 75% of women coloring their hair. When choosing your color, pick one that is 1 to 3 times lighter than your own natural color. Use color enhancing shampoos, conditioners and other products. Many companies offer these even different shades. Try to match the shade as close to possible as the color you used. Use a layer of color, instead of using one shade throughout your hair. Try to avoid the sun and the chlorine in swimming pools. Both of these can fade your color. Never wash your color treated hair in hot water. Use cool to lukewarm water and finish with cold water to help seal the cuticles of your hair. Temporary or semi-permanent haircolors may deposit acidic dyes onto the outside of the hair shaft or may consist of small pigment molecules that can slip inside the hair shaft, using a small amount of peroxide or none at all. In some cases, a collection of several colorant molecules enter the hair to form a larger complex inside the hair shaft. Shampooing will eventually dislodge temporary hair color.

Hair coloring Tips

1. Wash your hair. A good kind of shampoo to use is one that removes the pollutants of your hair.

2. Use protective gloves and an old towel, especially when you are new to hair coloring.

3. Another tip is to add two spoons of hair color to your regular conditioner after each shampoo.

4. Bleaching your hair roots is required after shampooing.

5. Avoid curling irons, flat irons, and blow dryers as much as you can. The heat can damage your hair faster after it has been curled or perm.

6. Never wash your color treated hair in hot water.

7. Use cool to lukewarm water and finish with cold water to help seal the cuticles of your hair.

8. Try to avoid the sun and the chlorine in swimming pools.

Are you in need of mascara and eyelash enhancement tips but are not quite ready to apply the fake eyelashes? Don’t worry, you are not alone! Day and day out, women who have in the past been curling their lashes, looking for the ideal lengthening products, and were not adverse to trying the supposedly organic and hypoallergenic mascara products dictated by cosmetic lore, are finally at a point where they are ready to leave behind the products that did little more than cake onto their eyelashes and –since being waterproof – took a long time to safely remove.

 

Intensifying their search for the best mascara in an effort to maximize the beauty of their eyelashes, these women have found a number of surprising beauty tips that will help you, too, to plump up your eyelashes using mascara with ingredients that will ensure thickening and sculpting without the clumpy mess.

 

Ideal Mascara Products Won’t Cake or Clump



Begin your eyelash routine by using natural tools for conditioning them. Vaseline and even olive oil applied in moderate amounts are known to increase the health of individual eyelashes and thus prime the canvas for the application of mascaras like Max Factor, Kiss Me, La Femme, Maybelline and of course L’Oreal. Using bargain basement or no-name mascara is discouraged since it often contains fillers that are all but guaranteed to clump on your lashes at the first opportunity.

 

If your eyelashes have suffered and you might have some bald patches on your lids, dispense with the use of mascara – even double wear products – and instead add an eyelash growth product to your beauty routine. After about six to eight weeks of consistent application, you will be rewarded with natural, longer lashes.

 

To avoid that ugly cake or clump of mascara, be sure to curl your eyelashes prior to applying the cosmetic. In addition to the foregoing, place a very light dusting of powder on your eyelashes for the mascara to properly adhere to and not slide off, forming odd clumps on the tips of your lashes. Putting on mascara – even the brushless variety – is a bit of an art and you may have to experiment with different techniques to find one that works best for getting that thick, healthy and voluptuous look you are aiming for.

 

Have Curly eyelashes



Having curly lashes give a girl instant uplift. Unfortunately over zealous use of mechanical eyelash curlers can damage the lashes leaving them possibly broken or distorted.

 

Now there’s a way you can have the look you want without torturing those lashes.

 

Pop into a beauty salon, making sure the staff are professionally trained, and get your lashes permed and tinted. Its quick, painless and cheap

 

The Benefits



1.opens up the eye to give definition

 

2.adds thickness to lashes

 

3.if you suffer from mascara allergy this is the answer

 

4.no more mascara smudges, go swimming or exercise knowing that your mascara won’t run.

 

5.throw away your mascara and eyelash curlers

 

6.perfect for the visually or the physically impaired

 

7.tints are available in a variety of colors

 

The Procedure



Your eye makeup is removed completely, then using the desired rod size, small, medium or large, the technician will wrap your eyelashes very carefully around the rod ensuring that they are straight and not overlapping. A permanent wave lotion is applied and left for 7-10 minutes. The lashes will then be cleaned and a hypoallergenic moisturizer applied to the lids.

Flirting and dating are necessary evils for anyone who wants to make someone fall in love with them. Some men love the feeling of conquest – of the hunt, if you will – during the flirting process. Others dread flirting because they feel they are not particularly good at it. Whether you happen to enjoy flirting or find it a stressful experience, it is always a good idea to find out what works and what does not.

The following tips are based upon the premise: “girls (women) are not guys.” In other words, you will need to alter your behavior a bit if you want to impress that special someone. This is especially true if you are the quintessential “guys’ guy,” but almost every man needs a bit of a tune up when it comes to how flirt successfully.

If you are saying, “Make someone fall in love with me!” follow these 5 tips for flirting for guys:

1. Keep your goofy humor in check

One tried-and-true tactic that almost every guy uses to get close to a cute girl (or a hot woman) is to kid with her, play the clown, and generally do whatever seems like it could be funny in the hopes of getting a rise out of her. Well, I am here to say that this is totally okay! However: make sure you tone down the goofiness a bit. Most girls do not think it is funny when you make noises by placing your hands under their armpits and and flying around the room, for example (you get the picture). Even if they are drunk, girls don’t like this. Save this kind of behavior for guys’ night out.

2. Go easy on talking about your past conquests

In order to impress a woman, many guys have been known to brag about all of the other women that have dated or otherwise been with. Big mistake! Women do not think it is cool to brag about your past relationship conquests. They do not want to know about that hot blonde with the great body you dated, or the sexy red-head who was a part-time model that you almost slept with. Similarly, they don’t want you to take them to a bar or restaurant where you know every lady in sight. Take her somewhere where you are both strangers and focus 100% of your attention on your date.

3. They admire a guy with a sense of style

Women love a man with a sense of style. Your lady doesn’t want you to show up at her door in torn jeans, faded shirt, and old shoes (unless that is your style – but most guys cannot pull this off successfully). Rather, when you hang out with her or show up for your first date, show her that you have a fashion sense and that you have put some effort into your looks.

4. Don’t be cheap on your first date

Once you get to the dating stage with your special girl, splurge a bit – especially on the first date. Women are not impressed by cheap restaurants, they don’t think it’s too cool when you pull out coupons when to pay the waiter, and they will find you unimpressive if you ask them not to order the most expensive thing on the menu. In other words: don’t make her think that she is not worth full price.

5. Show some class during your conversation

Once you have broken the ice and have established regular conversation with your lady, it is time to focus your attention on the topics that will fascinate her – or at least keep her interested. Do not make the conversation all about you. Remember, the sweetest music to anyone’s ears is their own name. Make the conversation about her: her interests, what she did today, what she wants in the future – and you will make her yours.

In the end, the best advice I can give you is to, of course, be yourself. But, with one special consideration: be the best, most romantic, and least self-centered self that you can be. That is the way to make her fall in love with you.

Eye care for computer users

Most of our work is done on computers, and there is usually no escape from it. It is a visually intensive task and, unfortunately, our work pressure and lifestyles do not give us the opportunity to be kind to our eyes.

Which is why these tips should come in handy.

Source: www.statuseyecare.com

i. Know your eyes

Tears: The first line of defence, they also serve as lubrication by keeping the eyes moist and nourished; they also have a corrective lens function.

Eyelids: Their main job is to protect your eyes from dirt, dust and harsh light.

Eyelashes: A protective net for your eyes.

Cornea: A refractive zone that guides light to reach the retina.

Pupil: Controls the amount of light that enters your eyes.

Lens: A refractive zone that also guides light into the retina.

Retina and Optic Nerve: A bunch of intricate wiring that carries vision signals between your brain and eyes.

ii. Exercise your eyes

Regular work hours should be infused with short breaks. During such breaks, he suggests a small and easy exercise: “First, blink your eyes several times. While you keep your eyes closed, roll your eyeballs both clockwise and anticlockwise and take a deep breath. Gradually open your eyes while releasing your breath. This exercise lasts for a minute and you can repeat it three times before getting back to work.” It serves as a good workout for the eyes.

iii. Look away

While working for long hours, look at distant objects either in your office or outside. Looking at a distant object and then returning to your task helps your eyes focus better. Try taking such visual breaks for about five to 10 minutes every hour.

iv. Palming

Sit straight at your workstation and rub your palms against each other till you feel them warm. The warmth of your palms helps soothe and relax tired eyes. Then, lightly cup your eyes with your palms and relax for 60 seconds. Count the seconds in your mind. Repeat this exercise two to three times whenever your eyes feel tired, or as often as you want. While palming, you can either rest your elbows on your desk or keep away from the desk and cup your eyes. Both ways are fine.

v. Splash water on your face

During breaks, splash water on your face while closing your eyes. This has an overall relaxing effect and helps you feel refreshed.

vi. Take a walk

After you’re done with lunch, take a stroll outside your office for a few minutes. This will give your eyes a much-needed break and get them some fresh air.

vii. Use tea bags

Keep two used tea bags in the refrigerator before you leave for work. Once you are home, place the tea bags on your eyes for a few minutes as you relax. This not only soothes tired eyes, but also reduces puffiness.

viii. Drink water

Drink plenty of water. It helps reduce puffiness. When a person is dehydrated, especially in an air-conditioned office, the body starts storing water as a defence mechanism. This adds to puffiness around the eyes.

ix. Eat healthy

Incorporate Vitamins A, C, and E on a daily basis; eat citrus fruits, green leafy veggies, tomatoes, spinach, poultry and dairy products. Pack a box of chopped carrots, cucumber and fresh fruits and munch in-between meals at the office.

x. Know your contact lenses

“Ideally, a person who uses lenses should wear it for not more than 10-12 hours a day and occasionally for 14 hours a day,”

Never wear your contact lenses while swimming. The pool water houses various micro-organisms as there are several people using it. This may lead to fungal infections in the eyes. In addition, the chlorine in the water can damage your contact lenses.

“Lenses are like sponge, making them susceptible to attracting dirt,”

xi. Eye dos and don’ts

~ Visit your doctor

“One should ideally visit their Optician / ophthalmologist once a year, but if there is a problem with your eyes, visit sooner,”

In addition, before buying an eye-care product such as eye drops, always check the expiry date and don’t forget to check the prescription.

~ Wear antiglare glasses while driving or at work

“Antiglare glasses are mainly used for focused light such as full beam car headlights and serve well for night driving. These can also be used while working on the computer,”

Using a pair of antiglare glasses while working on a computer can reduce the strain on the eyes to a certain extent. If you wear contact lenses, wear a pair of zero powered antiglare glasses for the same purpose.

~ Use re-wetting eye drops

An office environment that is predominantly air-conditioned, coupled with a computer intensive job, this is the perfect combination for dry eyes.

In such cases, you can use re-wetting eye drops to give relief to your eyes. Why? “When dry eyes occur, the aim is to get the tears back into our eyes whether it is naturally (by simple blinking exercises), or artificially (if the problem aggravates),”

“Re-wetting eye drops have a similar in composition to natural tears. One should go for eye drops that do not have any preservatives. Eye drops with preservatives are toxic to the eyes in the long run. You can use re-wetting eye drops as and when required, but preferably span it to a minimum of four to six times a day. If the problem persists, visit your ophthalmologist as soon as possible.”

The two most commonly used preservatives in all eye drops are Benz Alkonium Chloride and Chlorbutol. Read the contents of the bottle carefully and avoid eye drops with these preservatives.

~ Reduce your smoking and alcohol intake

“Smoking and alcohol consumption (either alone or combined) causes irreversible optic nerve damage. As both nicotine and alcohol are nerve toxins, they affect the nerves in the long run. Over a period of time, this can lead to poor or weak eyesight,” warns Dr Belvi.

~ Never rub your eyes

If dirt enters your eyes, do not rub as this may cause the dirt to stick inside. “Blink several times to start your tears flowing; this will help flush out the dirt,” advises Dr Belvi. “If you rub your eyes, the dirt particle will keep disturbing your vision and irritate your eyes. In such cases, seek your ophthalmologist’s help immediately.”

Quick tips

~ Shelf life

Preservative-free re-wetting eye drops have a shelf life of about a year, if the seal is unopened. Those with preservatives last around two years, if unopened.

~ Discard

All eye drops should be discarded within a month after opening their seals. Once opened, the medicinal properties tend to deteriorate due to exposure to the external atmosphere, making it unsuitable for your eyes.

~ Protective eye gear

While driving, wear protective eye gear especially if you are wearing contact lenses (for night driving) or sunglasses with UV protection (for day driving). Make sure the gear covers the sides of your eyes as well.

Being healthy is a personal choice and one has to work hard at it. A balanced diet, regular sleep habits, a balance between work and rest, ad exercises all play a vital role in restoring our health and helping us maintain our eyesight
