Hair Care And Maintenance













How to take Care  of the Hair
Hair is a protein filament that grows from follicles found in the demis, or skin. 
Hair is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. The human body, apart from areas of glabrous skin is covered in follicles which produce thick terminal and fine vellus hair. Most common interest in hair is focused on hair growth hair types and hair care, but hair is also an important biomaterial primarily composed of protein, notably keratin. Attitudes towards hair, such as hairstyles and hair removal, vary widely across different cultures and historical periods, but it is often used to indicate a person's personal beliefs or social position, such as their age, gender, or religion.
The hair is important that it reflects the personality of an individual. However, most people tend to neglect the fact that their hair needs intensive care But rather, they tends to concentrate more on their face and physique and clothing style, having the mindset that with a clean face and trendy dress, any hairstyle is good to go with as long as it does not make them look haggard. This idea sometimes work out but most times embarrassing because not all hairstyle goes with all dress styles.

It is absolutely important to put the hair in a proper shape when it comes to beauty and looking good this is applicable to both sex, especially the ladies. It is absolutely a true fact the hairstyle you wear most at times defines your beauty or tells your level and class when it comes to dressing and fashion.
Hair properly cared for tends to have a good texture and colour but for an unkempt hair its the opposite.

Most a times people mistake taking care of the hair to constant use of extensions  and styling it but with this they got it all wrong for this only weaken and damage the hair an even change its natural colour to a poor and unhealthy colour.
To some black women, attaining "good hair" means either straightening or using extensions. Straightening involves the application of products containing sodium hydroxide, which a dermatologist and a chemist describe as potentially dangerous to the scalp and even to inhale in quantity (your lungs might get straightened). Leave it on too long, and your scalp or face can be burned -- something that has happened to some of the woman.
I imagine a good many black women would say that having "good hair" simply means having hair that is healthy, strong and abundant. Why must it also be straight? Yes, many black women enjoy their straight hair, whether natural or by way of extensions. They look great. But often they go back and forth among hairstyles; that is the way of women, unlike the male clods who settle on a hairstyle in grade school and stick with it .
Extensions involve braiding long swatches of hair to existing hair.
It may help to recall that another name for sodium hydroxide is "lye."Because of the high incidence and intensity of chemical burns, chemical relaxer manufacturers have now switched to other alkaline chemicals." Modern relaxers can also burn if left on too long, but they won't eat up your Coke cans.

video on how to cut or trim your hair
Conclusion
To maintain and grow hair that is already weak you will need to introduce raponzo's method that is to say you will need to cut or trim out the weak and damaged ends to at least halve inch length;though most ladies find it difficult but it is the best way to get a good result.

How to take care of the skin

care of the skin

The skin is the outer layer of human body. It is very sensitive and delicate and needs to be handled with care.

The skin helps you to make a good impression though it is not always easy to create this good impression since the skin can be temperamental and tends to demand for more attention. If the skin is not well taking care of it will give an unpleasant look.
There are some basic things you need to consider first before choosing a skin care product ( body cream and cleanser ) to enable you know the cosmetics that best suite your skin type.
Stretch mark
To have a full and clear knowledge of your skin you need to consult a dermatologist ( a dermatologist is a skin doctor) to know which of the skin type your skin falls in among these five basic skin types: Oily skin,Normal skin,Sensitive skin,Dry and combination skin. Having the clear knowledge of your skin will save you from the harm of cream reaction.
Note: For a sensitive skin according to dermatologist research, Facial cleansers with sand or peach pits or cleanser that contains large amount of benzoyl peroxide,alpha-hydroxy-acid (AHA) ,beta-hydroxy-acid (BHA) and exfoliants should be avoid to prevent redness of your skin but cleanser made with castile soap(olive oil based soap) which are gentle and mild to your skin will do you good.picture of an old woman

Care of an ageing skin

It is extremely important to take care of an ageing skin in regards to fighting off
wrinkles, age spot and fine lines. Scientists are discovering that what you eat, how frequently, and how much may have an effect on quality and years of life. Of particular interest has been calorie restriction, a diet that is lower by a specific percent of calories than the normal diet but includes all needed nutrients. Research in some animals has shown calorie restriction of up to 40 percent fewer calories than normal to have an impressive positive effect on disease, markers of ageing, and, perhaps, life span.
There other methods to keep an aging skin from being visible such as:
Use of antioxidant .Antioxidants protect the body from the harmful effects of by-products known as free radicals, made normally when the body changes oxygen and food into energy. The discovery of antioxidants raised hopes that people could slow ageing simply by adding them to the diet. So far, studies of antioxidant-laden foods and supplements in humans have yielded little support for this conclusion. Further research, including large-scale epidemiological studies, might clarify whether dietary antioxidants can help people live longer, healthier lives. For now, although the effectiveness of dietary antioxidant supplementation remains controversial,

Eating fruits and vegetables. This is a natural way enabling peaceful ageing, there is positive evidence for it's health benefits.

Surgical method. These method have strong side effect which result
women looking stiff and ungracefully-aged. As a result of this it is, the latest trends
revolved around using organic and natural beauty products.

Healthy eating and exercise and physical activity help promote healthy ageing.
Although,it is not easy to always to obtain natural and organic beauty products,but there other interventions to enable graceful and peaceful ageing in women .

NIA-supported and other studies are taking a look at the possible benefits and risks of a number of approaches, including antioxidants, calorie restriction, and hormone supplements to improve happy  and peaceful ageing.

Conclusion
It is a good idea to be skeptical of claims that any supplements can solve your age-related problems.and always have it in mind that scientist have proved that eating enough of  fruit are of benefit.

# How to Fill the Eyebrow

There are two ways you can fill your eyebrow

  1. Filling with Makeup Brush.
  2. Filling with Eye pencil.
 Step 1:Filling With Pencil Shape your brows, Connect the  points you've measured to get the perfect shape for your eyebrows. Remove any excess hair outside of this shape by plucking, or threading. Use the pencil to fill in the sparse spots with short, feathery strokes. Apply in the direction of hair growth. Note, the key here is not to create a definite line, but to create a good appearance of well lined eyebrow. Be careful not to pencil the entire brow, which will result in an unnatural look. Your pencil should be sharp and super soft so it goes on with little exertion. But if you have a pencil that's too hard,the tip get  smoothed   up by rubbing it between your fingers.
Step 2: Measure your inner brow to find the best starting point. To do this, (a) Use your pencil to mark an arch, place the pencil  up from the edge of your nostril to the very center of your eye (on top  of your eye). the side of your brow at the end of the pencil is your arch an that's where your brow should start. (b)Hold your pencil or brush up such that one end lines up with the edge of your nostril and the other lines with the outside corner of your eye. The extension of the brush  is where your brow should end. If there are hair further outside your marked line, there's need to remove of neat outcome.Then lightly fill  in the tine front to create the best shape.
Filling with brush:Just deep your brush into the powder an follow the eyebrow line,brushing gently through;avoid staining the wrong part but line neatly. Note it should be tick as desired.

Guidelines to choice of cosmetics

You need to know !
Some beauty products contain carcinogens and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that increase breast cancer risk. When deciding on this you should ask yourself which products you can do without; the best way to avoid chemicals is to use fewer products. Each product you cut from your beauty ritual decreases the number and quantity of chemicals to which you're exposed to.
According to EPA (2003) and NTP ( National Toxicology Program in 1993) research it has been determined that 1-3- butadiene chemical found in some cosmetics are air pollutant and it is also carcinogenic to human and females may be more vulnerable to the carcinogenic effects.

You shouldn't  have to endanger yourself to skin cancer and breast cancer. Research has found that many sunscreens contain chemicals that are estrogenic, disrupt the endocrine system and can play a significant role in breast cancer development. For example, octyl-methoxycinnamate, which is estrogenic and has thyroid hormone-disrupting effects, is found in over 800 sunscreens. Homosalate, a hormone-disrupting UVB blocker, is an ingredient in over 400 sunscreens.
State of the Evidence on Sunscreens (UV Filters)
The fear of exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sun and the risk of cancer has result to widespread use of sunscreens. According to Hayden,1997 many sunscreens contain some chemicals that are estrogenic and lipophilic and it's now accumulating in wildlife and humans .It is indicated that the chemicals are and are found in human urine and breast milk.

Guide to your skincare product choice

Use fewer products with simple ingredients
Avoiding use of numerous product from your beauty ritual decreases the number and quantity of chemicals to which you're exposed.

Avoid products with DMDM hydantoin and imidazolidinyl urea;parabens or any word ending in "-paraben"; "PEG" compounds and words ending in "-eth"; triclosan and triclocarban; triethanolamine (TEA); hydroquinone and oxybenzone. You also want to avoid synthetic fragrance, which can contain hundreds of chemicals, including toxic phthalates.

Avoid These Top Offenders
  • Anti-aging creams with lactic, glycolic, AHA and BHA acids
  • Hair dyes, especially dark permanent dyes
  • Liquid hand soaps with triclosan or triclocarban
  • Nail polish and removers with formaldehyde,DBP or toluene (which can be contaminated with benzene
  • Skin lighteners with hydroquinone
  • Heavily scented products
  • Moisturizers, ointments and skin creams with petrolatum (which can be contaminated with (PAHS)
  • Fungicides, shaving creams, hair gels and hair coloring containing nonylphenol
  • Hair spray, gel, mousse or shaving cream that contains isobutane, a propellant that can be contaminated with carcinogens and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that increase breast cancer risk
  • Sunscreens with UV filter that mimic estrogen.

Avoid "Fragrance"
Fragrance can contain dozens or even hundreds of chemicals including ethylene oxide, hormone-disrupting phthalates,and synthetic musks. It's best to avoid synthetic fragrance and go for products that are fragrance-free or that contain natural fragrances like essential oils.
Use Truly Natural Cosmetics
Look for natural beauty products or make your own out of common household ingredients.

Read the Label to Avoid Synthetic Ingredients.

Choose a nail salon that does not deal with benzene contaminated
If you go for a mani-pedi, select a nail salon that stocks only nail polishes free of the toxic trio (formaldehyde, toluene—which can be contaminated with benzene and dibutyl phthalate). Also look for a nail salon that has good ventilation for the entire shop. Choosing a nail salon that engages in these safety practices can help protect your health and the health of the workers who are there every day.
