1. Know Your Hair Texture And Face Shape At First:

As your hair texture plays a big role in picking which bangs are best for you, same is the case with your face shape if you don’t want to look horrible after you get your hair cut. This is for the reason that certain fringe styles are not suitable for all hair textures and face shapes. Therefore, it is always good for you to decide what style suits you the best.

2. Get someone with similar hair style:

Choose a celebrity or even a friend with bangs and take suggestions from her. This will help you choose your favorite hair style. This will also assist you to shun any type of disappointment once you make decision to get bangs.

3. Bangs are high-maintenance style:

You must always know that Bangs are high-maintenance style. So, before getting bangs, determine whether you are able to get it trimmed it every month or not. Don’t make quick decisions.

If you are to get bangs at the first time, then it becomes very difficult for you to find the right routine, products and tools to style your fringe and get the look you want. Also be prepared for costly extra oily bangs.

Nevertheless, this depends on your skin type and hair texture, always be prepared for irritation on your forehead and skin and extra oil can force you for another fringe.

Bangs are not suitable for all even if their face is fit for bangs. Additionally, you should not go for fringe at all the times. But once you go for bangs, there are high chances that you will love getting them once again.

Tips In Action: Look your Best on Photo Day

Tips In Action: Look your Best on Photo Day
tipsfromTia.com makeup tips

Photo Day at work or school can be a bit unnerving. From making sure your hair is perfect, your skin is clear and let alone the right color outfit; you just want to make sure all your best features are highlighted.

Eyes, cheeks or lips are easy to make outstanding in you picture. But if you need definition in certain areas don’t be afraid to grab your shadow brush and dark eyeshadow to define those tricky areas. For example, under the jawline is a great place to enhance for photos. You can also strengthen your cheeks under the apples or the definition of your nose.

You don’t have to be a professional to do this, but I do recommend practicing a few times before photo day so you see what complements you best. Take your own photo to make sure it works.

Add more shadow if needed or wipe away the heaviness. Once you’ve got the feel for it, you’re ready to say “cheese”. After the photo day shot, no need to wash your augmentation off, just blend in with a tissue or hand. Toning it down will give a natural everyday wear appearance.

Hair Turned Green from Swimming.

 


Problem:


My hair turned greenish from the swimming pool, I thought that was just a myth. How do I fix it? K.

Tip from Tia:


It is not a myth that blonde hair can turn green from swimming, sorry to say.

It is a chemical reaction from the chlorine in the pool and recently colored or lightened hair. As the light follicles soak in the chlorine, ash-blonde can turn a hue of yucky green.

This can happen from highly chlorinated water from your pipes, too.

Purple Shampoo

Purple shampoo is literally, purple. It’s a great way to pull brass out of blonde hair without bleach. It works great for most blondes. However, there are stories of blondes using purple shampoo and their locks get a green tint.

It’s rare, but if it happens, take a break from the purple.

Remove the Green

The quickest, safest way to remove the green tint is with ketchup. The red will neutralize the green hue. Tomato juice can work too, but the ketchup is thicker and will stay in the hair for a period of time without being so messy.

How to Use Tomato Base to Remove the Green

The smell will be potent, but it will work. Cover all your hair with ketchup and let it set for 30-45 minutes. Cover hair with a dark-colored towel or plastic to protect your clothing and furniture. Ketchup will stain. Obviously, tomato anything stains for life.

Wash Out the Green

After the allotted time, wash out thoroughly with shampoo. Once you feel it’s clean, use conditioner. Let hair dry naturally or use a low heat to blowdry.

It’s Still Greenish

If there is still a green tint, it is safe to repeat process.

I usually recommend waiting a couple hours in between treatments, because washing your hair and blow drying too frequent, can be damaging on the strands. Tomatoes are acid-based, so it could affect the hair if repeating the process too often.

The best way to avoid green hair is to prevent it by avoiding the pool for several days after a new highlight treatment. Another thing to remember is to rinse hair after swimming with clean water. It will dilute the chlorine that is trapped in your locks.

It only takes about two days for the hair’s cuticle to close after being bleached. Once that happens, hair is less likely to turn green, but it can still happen. It’s not always possible to avoid the green, and this quick fix can help tone your hair back to a beautiful blonde.

Age-Defying, Really?

Age-Defying, Really?

We have heard of many products that promise to turn back the hands of time. Do many of them have much success? Billions of dollars have been spent each year, in trying to find the right product to regain one’s youth.

The fact is, it takes more than one factor to keep years of damage at bay. Remember, what goes in, will eventually come out. So, putting the right diet into your body will show through your skin, hair, nails, etc.

The most important thing our bodies need everyday is hydration.  Getting the daily amount of water is needed through beverages and foods. The right foods and vitamins will give the body what it needs to properly function, which helps determine how your outside, looks. How does this work? Working organs and blood will help build the essential amino acids your body needs.  This helps build collagen and the nutrients your skin needs.

Starting inside the body is the foundation, getting the right oils, protein and fat into the body, is first. Then, moving to the outside with exercise and toning will get that blood flowing the way it needs too.

Finally, finding the right skin products for your needs will help maintain that glow. Washing the face with the right cleanser for your skin type is a personal preference. Using natural products or oils for “healing” skin is always a good option.  I prefer coconut oil or olive oil for healing and eliminating dryness. Clean and healed skin has a better chance of staying youthful and keeping elasticity.

When it comes to anti-aging products, I have tried many for the benefit of my readers, mostly. The trails can be interesting, since I have sensitive skin. Plus, I like to give the true feedback since these products are extremely, expensive off the bat, or can cost less, but still add up, because they don’t work.

I kept hearing about Nerium AD. I was skeptical when I read that they use Oleander Extract, which can be toxic. It turns out the product is safe and effective on the face.

I tried the night cream, only for about two months, and I have seen nice results on my face, including smaller pores and diminished fine lines.  Other testimonies have declared strong results, while using the full line. The night cream is about $80.

So remember, if you are trying to achieve healthy skin, start with the inside first, and then, find the right products that work for you.
