How To Apply Henna
2007-11-26 05:27:00 My mum uses Henna on her white hair. Nowadays she dyes her hair often because her white hair grows very fast and only after one week hair roots become white-gray and its very noticable. I've seen her dyeing her hair done at home.The use of henna to dye hair is really simple and easy. When using henna as a hair dye, actually you can mix henna with olive oil, black coffee, red wine, bit of lemon juice and boiled tea water. Then, mix it all up in a plastic bowl and let it sit overnight covered with a wrapper. Apply it on your hair the next day. Wrap the top of your head with the plastic cap and leave it in for 3 hours. Rinse well with with cool water. It is not necessary that you would get the required reddish effect as soon as you apply henna because it takes a few days for the henna to oxidize and change color. The end result is Orangey-reddish tones but with oxidation, henna will turn darker and redder. That's how my mum did it to her white hair. It is always better to perform a s...

It is a kind of an itchy, and persistent skin disorder of the scalp associated with inefficient hair care.In dandruff the scalp sheds dead epidermal (skin) cells which are some kind of visible dust-like stuff or flakes that falls from scalp to shoulders.

How To Test Your Skin Type
2007-10-17 07:51:00 I'm not skin care expert but I read lots of article about skin care in magazines. Somehow, it is important to identify your personal skin type before choosing your products. There are five types of skin, namely normal skin, dry skin, greasy or oily skin and sensitive skin, as far as I know.How to test your skin is when you wake up in the morning wipe your face with a dry tissue. If the skin will be oily, then your tissue will become greasy. If your skin is a combinational skin, then there will be grease only in the centre part of the face. For normal skin, there will be no grease. If your skin is dry skin, then there will be flaky patches. And for the sensitive skin, it is very delicate and prone to allergies.

Beauty Sleep
2007-10-14 15:55:00 Skin makes new cells twice as fast during sleep time as during walking hours. Several studies have found that sleep deprived humans have lower levels of a growth hormone the skin needs to repair environmental damage and produce new skin cells. When skin cell replacement falls behind then wrinkles and slackness results.While individual sleep requirements vary between 7 and 9 hours is average. As you get your beauty rest, avoid creating bed wrinkles by sleeping on your back. Lying on your side or stomach means squashing your face into a pillow and then walking up with crazy crease marks. When we are young these folds smooth out almost instantly. But as we age our collagen and elastin grow less resilient meaning those creases can stay for hours or even permanently.Tip for Plenty of nourishing beauty sleepPlently if nourishing sleep is one of the secrets of a good complexion and a healthy body. Try to maintain regular sleep patterns. DO. Keep regular hours for sleeping and waking.Try co... More About: Beauty , Sleep

How To Apply Blush
2007-10-08 15:39:00 Normally I will apply a color that is a bit darker than my normal skin tone, neutrals are good. For example if you have light skin a pink tone will work very well. Here's the important part. Apply it only to the apple of your cheek. Smile and apply the blush to the round portion of your cheek. Dab it on and blend with your fingers in a circle. Do not go back and forth. Your blush does not need to go into your hairline. Remember its call blush and apply where you would blush if you were given a great compliment from a gorgeous man. Bronzer also works well for a suntan look. Again apply it at the apple of your cheeks and dab a bit at the top of your forehead and your chin. I will say that I think these steps will help.

Breathe To Get Smarter
More articles from this author:2007-10-04 17:04:00 A recent study by the Massachusetts General Hospital has shown that meditation not only reduces stress, it may also make you smarter. Daily practice of meditation thickened the parts of the brain's cerebral cortex responsible for memory, decision making and attention. And in another study by the University of Kentucky, test subjects were divided into three groups and each told to meditate, sleep or watch TV as a way to rejuvenate their minds. Those who meditated did the best in psychomotor vigilance tests that required them to hit a button whenever a light flashed on a screen. So the next time you feel your brain crashing, close your eyes, visualise a scenic place in your mind, slow your breathing and relax for 20 minutes. More About: Breathe 1, 2, 3, 4 |
