For that perfect beach hair

Swimming in the cool waters of the pool or paddling through the sea waves is a great way to unwind after a hectic weekend, but it doesn't do any good to your pretty curls. So if your naturally curly hair looks battered & frizzy after a swim, it's high time you did something for it.

After your swimming session, squeeze out excess water and apply a silicone-based hair serum like Zero Frizz Corrective Hair Serum, SPECIAL EFFECTS Psycho Silicone Smoothing Polish, Maxius The End-Silicone Shine Enhancer or Ken Paves Healthy Hair Shine Serum. The silicone locks in the moisture, producing defined ringlets, but blocks out wind and heat, which cause frizz.

    If you have a bit of a curl in your hair and it dries without you combing it while you are at the beach, thats why you are getting the waves. You might consider having a very large rod perm. And every time you wash it comb it in the shower after conditioning and then wrap you hair in a towel without rubbing it. Then take your hair down and finger comb it and leave it alone until it dries.....it will work.

    Use a scrunching spray on clean, damp hair, such as fekkai found at sephora or sephora.com. Or run out to your local drug store or grocery store and purchase a curl enhancing gel and wave spray. After washing and combing your hair through, use the gel and spray and scrunch hair up toward the roots until your hair is nearly dry. Then set it with a light/flexible hairspray.

  4. put like mousse or hairspray all over your hair.
    then section your hair in fours.
    now, grab each section and part it even more so when you curl that part is not a bunch of hair.
    leave it be, but once you're done with every section you just run your fingers through you're hair and you'll have perfect beach waves. :)

  5. Get a bottle, fill it up with water, add some salt, and spray it into your hair. Then braid it in two big pigtails and leave it there for 20 minutes. Let it out and beachy waves :D it'll even smell like it, too! good luck!

  7. its hard to explain but using straighteners works
    just straighten from the top and curl them round towards the bottom or if you want riglets start from the top
    you need good straighteners tho like ghds or something

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...
