First, you need to pull your hair into a pony
and keep any flyaways with your favorite headband to lock them neatly in place.

2.  Easy Low
Chignon
This easy chignon is achievable in 3 steps.




First, you smooth your hair back and leave
the tips of your ears present. Second, loosely twist around the sides of your
hair and put it into a neat pony to keep it together. Third step is to fold
them over the pony to form a simple low chignon at the back and stick some hair
pins to hold it. And you’re done.

3. Faux Bob

Here’s a vintage faux bob for an elegant
appeal.



Start by curling your hair to give it layers.
Then, divide your hair into loose sections, put it into pigtails if you prefer.
Take the end of a section and loosely twist it away from your face and pin them
securely under your hair, right below the middle of your head. Just repeat the
process for all the other sections until all of them are secured.

4.  Messy
Fishtail Braid
Take a different spin on the classic fishtail
braid.



Start with pulling your hair and braiding
only the upper half part of your mane. Make sure it’s loose enough so that from
there you’ll be able to take a couple of strands from the lower half and wrap
them around the top part of the braid. Use bobby pins to keep them in place.
From there, turn it into the traditional fishtail braid and tug a few strands
loose to get your desired messy updo.

5. Half up Half
down Waves

Show a bit
of sophisticated class with this hairstyle.



First step
is to tease the hair at the crown to give it some volume so it won’t appear as
flat and then smoothen out the top for a neat look. Twist the side way across the
back of your head and pin them in place, then twist the other side until you
can tuck it in and pin them under the first one.


6. Fanned-Out
Bun
Add a bit of graceful flair into your look
and be a modern-day ballerina.




To start with, tie your hair up into a high
ponytail and takethe end, turn it over the top until you can slot the end in
between the pony and place it under the band holding the pony. Pull the end of
the ponytail until it’s about half way through the hole. Once that’s done, make
sure to pin the ends at the base to keep it neat and fan out your bun.

7. Bridal Hair


This style will make you feel like it’s your
wedding day.



Take a small section of hair from the front
of your hairline and form a Dutch braid. 
As the braid reaches the top of your ears, begin a more regular braiding
approach and tie it up with an elastic band at the end. All the excess hair
should be then pulled into a low ponytail right at the nape of your neck so
that you can easily wrap some strands back into the elastic band and achieve
that elegant bun. Tuck away some loose strands and flyaways, add a bit of
hairspray to keep it nice and neat.

Hair Removal: Tips You Need To Know To Make It Less Painful

When it comes to beauty and glamour, hair removal process is the less talked about topic. It is true that most of the women out there follow a regular hair removal regime the whole year round. With winter getting stronger with every passing day, hair removal becomes a painful process. So whatever method you choose – tweezers, wax, shave or laser, it becomes a scary experience. Yes you must have heard the saying that “No gain without pain”. But, it is true that you don’t need to have beautiful glowing hairless skin by going through a painful process.


So here in this post, we will learn some tips that will help you to make hair removal a simple and painless process.
When waxing
Ø  Scrub your skin: Exfoliating is a good option when it comes to waxing. Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells and thus helps to have better waxing. You can find a number of scrubs in the market. They are even available for less by simply using the discount vouchers.
Ø  Get the right wax type: There are hard and soft wax available in the market. Using hard wax will be less painful compared to the soft wax.
Ø  Avoid waxing during period: During periods, your skin becomes extra sensitive and so you will become less tolerant to waxing. So it would be better if you avoid waxing during that period.
Ø  Drink enough water: Drinking more water will keep your skin hydrated. So this will make the waxing process less painful.
Ø  Let the hair grow: Let the hair grow to its fullest after every waxing session. This will help to trap the hair easily and remove it. If the hair is small it will take many attempts to remove the hair and may turn out to be painful to you.
Ø  Wax in afternoon: During the afternoon time, your pain threshold is highest and so you will be able to get done with it without much trouble.
Ø  Go for regular waxing: It is recommended to go for waxing every 4-6 weeks period. Different people have different rate at which hair grows. So depending on that follow a regular hair removal regime. Moreover, if you take a long gap, you will experience more pain.
When shaving
Ø  Exfoliate the skin: Make it a habit to use scrub before shaving. It will help to get rid of those dead cells and help the razor to reach close to the root of the hair.
Ø  Wait in hot shower: Waiting in the hot shower for sometime helps to open up the hair follicles. This will in turn help to easily shave off the hair.
Ø  Use shaving cream: It is recommended to use a shaving cream before shaving as it will soothe the shaving process and prevent ingrowns.
Ø  Replace razors: For a smooth and easy shaving, it is recommended to replace your razors regularly. If you are using disposable razors, change them after every few weeks.
Ø  Use moisturizer: If there is any redness or irritation on your skin, then it will calm down once you use a moisturizer after shaving. You can find a number of moisturizers at All Beauty. Now you can get them for less by using 50% discount code of All Beauty, while making a purchase.
When using laser
Ø  Shave before laser treatment: It is recommended to shave before you go for laser treatment. It will help the laser to detect the follicles properly. For a safe side, use new razor every time.
Ø  Get enough sleep and drink enough water: Make sure you have enough sleep before the day of your appointment and drink enough water throughout the day. The reason for this is very simple. Your body becomes sensitive to pain if it is deprived of sleep or is dehydrated.
Ø  Avoid sun: It is recommended to use a good sunscreen lotion and avoid going out in sun. If you happen to get exposed out in sun, you may get sunburns which may be more painful.  
So, next time when you get ready for the hair removal process, remember to go through the above mentioned tips to make it a painless process.

Let’s talk about hair removal – beauty standards or esthetics?

The peculiar thing is the varying trend we have witnessed over the
years: as beauty ideals shift, so do our habits. Over the last century, fashion
has dictated many standards, one of them being the size of our swimwear – from
one piece jumpsuits to miniature two piece bikinis. Along with the excess naked
skin came another issue – excess hair. So it became almost natural to remove
hair from the public, or popularly known, bikini area. Now, what’s with the
back hair situation today?
These days, you might notice that every beauty salon has a solution for
the bikini zone – you can either go all the way and have everything removed or
have your ‘lower bush’ stylized in a certain manner. However, you cannot really
find ‘back hair removal’ on pricelists of many salons. Where is the root of
this problem (pun intended)? Let’s dig a bit deeper into the issue at stake.
Causes
There are many plausible causes of excess hair growth and in most cases
the exact cause cannot be precisely determined. Women usually produce lower
levels of male hormones called androgens, so if your organism has too much of
this hormone, it will result in unwanted hair. It may also come as a genetic
condition if it runs in the family. In any case, it is a very unpleasant
feature, even embarrassing to many women. There are a few conditions related to
this issue.
The medical term for the condition is hirsutism – it refers to
excessive facial hair along the lip line, on the chin, even breasts or chest
and it basically matches a male hair pattern on a female body. Men can also
suffer from this mostly harmless condition, but on hormonally dependent areas.
The next type of this condition is called hypertrichosis – it
signifies excessive hair which grows on places outside the pattern described
for hirsutism. A person who has a cast on their arm and grows unusually large
patches of hair in that region could be considered to have hypertrichosis
(hyper meaning excessive or accelerated; trich meaning hair). 
Finally, there is the state of superfluous hair or garden variety
“unwanted hair” – it refers to excess hair growth on various body areas which
are considered to be socially or culturally unattractive or undesirable. This
doesn’t refer to the amount of grown hair as it does to its location (for
example, beard line for women).
Any of these conditions could have one of the following causes:
·        
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
·        
Tumor or
cancer of the adrenal gland
·        
Tumor or
cancer of the ovary
·        
Rare
endocrine disorders
·        
Side
effects of certain drugs
·        
Congenital
adrenal hyperplasia
·        
Hyperthecosis
(a condition in which the ovaries produce too much male hormones)
Although it may seem as a subject you would rather consult your
beautician rather than your physician, it is best to schedule a checkup with
your doctor before you undergo any type of therapy or medication.
Treatment
Luckily, hair removal today is a common thing and you have many options
for either temporary or permanent removal.
Some of the most popular temporary removal techniques are:
·        
Tweezing –
pretty tiring, it is most efficient for really small areas (for example, above
the upper lips)
·        
Shaving –
easy to do, but with rather short effect; hair will grow back in a couple of
days
·        
Waxing –
waxed hair can take up to 3 weeks to grow fully back, plus the hair root is
being weakened with every treatment so it grows slowly and is receding in time
·        
Hair removal creams – have a similar effect as shaving but they
are somewhat gentler to the skin than sharp razors.
Permanent treatments include:
·        
Laser hair removal – is the absolute best method used to cover
large affected areas. The laser beam is aimed at particularly dark colored
hair, so it may not work for blond or red pigmented hair.
·        
Electrolysis – uses electrical current to permanently
damage individual hair follicles so they do not grow back. This method is less
popular as it may lead to unwanted side-effects like swelling, scarring and
redness of the skin.

The most common temporary solution is waxing, almost all beauty salons
have experts trained in many different waxing techniques and the results last a
while. As far as permanent removal goes, it definitely requires a significant
financial investment as these procedures are costly but really do solve the
issue once and for all. Nevertheless, your physician will
prescribe you with the best treatment according to your skin type and specific
needs.
