You ARE mothers or HAVE mothers

April 24th, 2007

The Mother’s Day that we celebrate on this year is a different kind of joy for me, since I have a child of my own.

When I first found out that I was going to become a mother, a lot of thoughts were going through my head. I admit that my first feeling was… fear. What’s going to happen now? Is everything going to change? Then I start thinking about my mother and how happy is she when she meets us, her children, and how proud she is with us.

Those sentiments fulfill my heart now, and I can’t explain how much I enjoy every gesture of affection from my little son.

I searched for a special gift for my mother and I know it is not that original but I’m sure it will go close to her heart. A personalized T-shirt. I uploaded a picture of the whole family to the site of a company named Zazzle, customized the way the T-shirt will look, chose the T-shirt, registered and added to cart.

I know my mother will be very happy to wear it.

Thermal Reconditioning

April 5th, 2007

Thermal reconditioning is a hair straightening technique invented in Japan. People talk a lot about it lately because it involves much lower risks than other methods. Most techniques use corrosive ingredients such as Sodium Hydroxide, Calcium Hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide, etc.

This innovative new method preserves the hair’s health while straightening frizzy, curly or wavy hair. Thermal Reconditioning will make the hair completely manageable. It will improve the hair’s feel and make it soft and shiny.

Most hair types will work well for the reconditioning. There is still one exception: African hair is too fragile and cannot withstand the heat.

The complete treatment takes between 3-6 hours and typically costs somewhere between $300 and $1000, depending on thickness, amount of chemical processing present and, of course, the hair length. The treatment will repeat after 6-12 months, depending on how quickly your hair grows but only on the roots.

It is strongly recommended that you find an experienced hairstylist who knows the technique very well and uses products from the main competitors like: Yuko, Liscio or Bio Ionics.

You can find the same technique under names like: Japanese Hair Straightening, Thermal Restructuring, Thermal Reconstruction, Ionic Retexturising, Rebonding

I just wanted to point out the main idea about this kind of hair straightening and hope you enjoyed.

Glamor hair

March 29th, 2007


Let’s talk about glamor hair style! It’s trendy and easy to do on short hair.

This hairstyle makes the short hair look sensual and very feminine. Use the hair foam on wet hair and be careful to avoid roots. When the product is well spread, dry your hair using a flat comb. Direct the hair laterally, but not downside. You can slightly role the tops over the comb. You should still take care that fore locks are oriented to behind, so your hair doesn’t give the impression of a huge helmet.

I bet that you, ladies, are happy to find out about any short hair styling idea. I admit that I have a great time trying different hairdos based on my short hair cut along with the appropriate outfit and makeup.

Return to your natural gray hair

March 22nd, 2007

How do we come to the natural gray hair without shocking people? I think we all want to know the answer, sooner or later. You maybe have years or decades left till your hair goes gray or just have enough of hiding the grizzled hair by coloring it. It is not easy to proudly wear your gray hair.

There are 2 major steps to go when deciding to stop dyeing: firstly find an expert in hair coloring and secondly have a short hair cut. The purpose is to minimize the contrast between your natural gray and the color you used to wear.

A professional and experienced stylist will start by low-lighting (the opposite of high-lighting). He will use non-permanent dyestuff that will come out after a few washes. Low-lighting means introducing dark hair color tones. He will put up to three different hair colors into your hair. The procedure will take longer if your former color was dark because of the big color contrast.

As we can see, finding an expert in hair coloring is primordial. Ask your friends or even someone you accidentally meet on the street about their hairstylist if you like their hair color.

Bob cut hairstyle

March 15th, 2007

 

Bob hair has always cherished his top position in short hair style. It deserves the honor, as it is so trendy and very feminine, designed for every season.

The 3 main bob styles need to look as natural and bright as they can. Let’s see them:

1. Natural bob style – it goes very well especially on a dynamic, all alive young woman. It requires some natural looking waves (easy dome by a hair waver), some hair wax or hair gel.

2. Sophisticated bob style is much labored. It requires using a flat iron.

Hair length is on the ear’s line with little curl for a vintage touch. A short bang fits very well. This hairdo is appropriate for unhesitating, successful women.

3. Classical bob style is generally preferred without bangs. The hair keeps the same length all over the head. It should be dried on a round comb to give more volume. The style looks good on fashionable colored classical outfits, with fine jewelry like necklaces, little earrings and other discreet accessories.

Just to be sure, I advise you to have some photos of the bob style you want for yourself when going to the hair salon. Maybe the hairstylist doesn’t picture the same bob style you do, when you explain him.

Mistakes that compromise your hairdo and harm your hair and scalp health

March 8th, 2007

 

You don’t realize sometimes the ways you harm your hair when you are in a hurry. You can make many mistakes, but I will tell you right here how to stay away of them. It’s good to now which are the errors that are very easy to avoid.

1. It happens sometimes that a few locks of your hair are longer than the rest and you are tempted to trim them by yourself. It shouldn’t be so hard, you might say… But you have really good chances to destroy your hairdo. You’d better hide those imperfections using hair products till you pay a visit to the hairstylist.

2. When coloring your hair, try to do this on the hair salon. They can help you there to choose the right color, in tone with your hair type and natural shade. Anyway, it wouldn’t be wrong to try it at home if you are not intending to make a color changing and if you have some experience, too.

3. Your eyebrows color should be one tone lighter than your hair’s. You can use an eyebrow pen to create this effect.

4. A general mistake (only if you don’t go the hair salon every day) is to choose a fancy haircut which is hard to be maintained at home. The hairstylist has all the knowledge, products and tools to do any kind of hairstyle, but you cannot benefit of all these at home. Have a haircut that is easy to make look good at your home.

5. It is a well known issue that choosing the right products for your hair type is vital. Using inappropriate shampoo can harm your hair and scalp health on a long term.

Short hair benefits

March 1st, 2007

 

I questioned many people about this and their answers drove me to one conclusion: the way you wear your hair is a direct consequence of your lifestyle and the way it makes you feel.

I will talk about the benefits of short hairdos as I’m sure that everybody, in a hot summer day, at least wonders: what if I’d cut my hair?

1. It offers a fundamental change for your look. You could rediscover yourself.

2. You can wear a wide range of hair accessories as chic scarves or bands, clamps or hairpins that bring you sensuality.

3. Emphasizes your feminine neck line and your delicate ear line, surrounding your face in an elegant way.

4. Tousle and go! It is very easy to take care of daily

5. It heals – when trimming, your hair regenerates very quickly

6. It is always fashionable. Short hair tolerates coloring and style changing better than long hair

There are many options when choosing a short hair style. They can complete your personality and make you feel very comfortable.

Washing hair problem - be practical!

February 22nd, 2007

This post is a bit beyond our topic, but this is about being practical in everything you do. I do believe that short hair fans have a good practical sense and if there are mothers in this community then they would like to hear this.

The age of 2 brings sometimes the fear for water. Washing your kid hair may become very stressful for both of you. Sometimes he doesn’t let you wet his hair; he is crying and begging you not to put water on his head. It doesn’t seem to be any logical explanation. You didn’t interrupt his games so he is not mad, you use “no more tears” shampoo so he is not hearting. If you’d talked to a psychologist he would tell you not to force him, anyway. It is the age when the child begins to experiences “the fear” and the only good thing you can do is to encourage him and be there for him. Postpone washing his hair and show him that you understand his fears. Next time you could try with a smooth sponge, it could work.

This is one of many phases a child goes through and makes a parent be a witness and guide of this awesome process of becoming a mature person.

Never forget that being practical on everything you do, not pressing things and trying not to overreact, being understanding and self confident is a very clever way to approach your life.

Woman in business suit

February 15th, 2007

Since I noticed, women in business wear different hairdos from medium to very short style. They might be doing this because it is easy to style it every day in a different way. Having the possibility of changing your look very often gives you the advantage of being unique.

There is another benefit: once you choose to wear a classical line, short hair cuts can make the difference. A proper very short or bob style along with a couple of discreet jewelries make the businesswomen more powerful. Why is that? As I said in one article, it is still very important for a woman to look good in order to succeed in this world.

The main jewelry for women in business suits, wearing short hair is earrings. Pearls, gold or silver earrings made by hand are very appropriate for these women. A little necklace would also go very well. Anyway, don’t match the jewelries only to your outfit. They will shine on you only if you feel comfortably wearing them and if they fit your mood, too.
