Hair Colour Care

Colour Care!

• Remember to deep condition your hair a few days before your colour treatment. It will help replenish lost moisture and keep your locks shiny and resilient. Hair gets damaged with chemical treatments, heat styling and environmental pollution.

• Just before you go for the process, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo or a mix of vinegar and baking soda. This helps remove product build-up or sebaceous deposits.

• If you have applied henna to your hair in the last year, avoid perming or using a chemical colour.

• Avoid chlorine and salt water for a few days after you colour your hair; it can cause adverse reactions to your new colour.

• Don't use hot water and don't shampoo your hair too often (wait two or three days between shampoo), if you want your colour to stay. Hot water opens up hair cuticles and allows pigments to escape. Wash with cool water to keep the dazzle in your colour. In fact, rinse with cool to cold water to close the hair cuticle and lock the colour.

• Don't sun bath your hair; the colour can fade or change. Apply leave in conditioner with a sun protection factor to prevent UV rays from damaging the newly colored strands.

• Don't change your colour too often (avoid extremes on the colour wheel) or combine it with perms or straightening agents.

• Get decadent. Condition with olive oil and coconut oil if you have a coarse or thick hair; Use almond oil and sesame oil, if you have fine or thin hair.

• To heal and moisturize hair that has weathered many a style storm and is consequently doin a break, split or tangle , try jojoba oil.

DID YOU KNOW?
Colour appears different under fluorescent light than in natural sunlight (the reason why colourist ask you to see your hair in broad daylight).

Shoe Shopping Tips

Going Shoe Shopping? 

Take these tips along:

     

• The best time to go is late afternoon. As the day progresses, your feet swell. This means slip-ons bought early in the might feel tight later.
• Give your feet breathing space. Buy shoes with leather uppers. They also mould themselves around the foot to match its shape, making the shoes more comfortable to wear.
• Wiggle your toes when you put on new shoes. If you cannot, don't buy them. You are likely to experience problems later.
• Ensure at least 6 mm of space in front of the largest toe. Any less, and the constant contact with the shoe could damage your toe nails and skin.
• Wear shoes with different heel heights on different days to maintain flexibility in the leg muscles. Wear high heels sparingly, as the body pressure falls on the toes. 
• If the shoe is too tight and there is no option left for you, try putting little talcum powder on your feet before wearing the shoes. This will help the foot to glide in easily and will also prevent sweating.
• Use a hair drier for making your tight shoes comfortable for you. Wear socks and put on your shoes, blow hair drier over your shoes for several minutes. And your tight shoes are ready for comfortable wear.

Pedicure at Home

A Step by Step Pedicure Guide to Hot Foot Forward

Step 1:
Fill a small tub or bucket with warm water. Add soothing, aromatic bath salts to it.

Step 2:
Before you dip your tired feet into this sweet smelling oasis, rid your toenails of any old nail polish with Sally Hansen Moisturizing Nail polish remover.

Step 3:
Sit back and relax with your favorite book or magazine. Or, shut your eyes and turn on some soulful music. Let your feet soak in this goodness for as long as you desire.

Step 4:
Pat your feet dry with a fluffy towel and then, using a small brush, gently buff each foot or use Scholl Express Pedi for best results. This helps remove the dead skin cells, leaving you with baby soft feet.

Step 5:
Massage a L'Occitane Shea Butter Foot cream into your feet, paying special attention to the rough spots.

Step 6:
With a nail file, gently push back your cuticles along the nail with a cuticle pusher. They should be supple due to soaking.

Step 7:
Apply a protective base coat to your nails even if you don't wish to paint them later. Besides adding a nice shine, a base coat helps strength the nails and avoids breakage.

Step 8:
Apply a new shade of nail polish only after the base coat has dried completely. Again, apply the second coat only after the first one has dried.

Step 9:
Add the finishing touch with a clear topcoat to add shine and protect the nail colour from chipping.

Step 10:
Wriggle your toes and admire your picture-perfect feet or slip on some sexy flip-flops and step out in style.
