You ARE mothers or HAVE mothers

Tuesday, 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

Thursday, 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.

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

Thursday, 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

Thursday, 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!

Thursday, 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.
