Hairstyles-choose according to the shape of your face

A hairstyle helps to accentuate or draw away certain facial characteristics. There are a whole lot of ways to style our hair depending on your face structure. If you like your hair styled long, there are long frizzy hair styles, long curly hair styles, long layered hair styles, long braided hairstyles, etc.


The following are tips on styles that can make the most of your particular features:

*
For a face too round, one can put a side part in the hair. This will slim and lengthen a face that’s too round.

* For thin face, curls or fullness at the sides will widen a long, thin face.

* For a large nose, a full hairstyle or upswept crown makes the nose less noticeable. For sharp, angular features, a wavy or curly hairstyle will soften a chiseled cheekbone, nose or jaw.


* A broad forehead can be concealed with a fringe or a flick and a square jaw line can be softened with a hairstyle which frames the face.



* For a high forehead, a horizontal line of full bangs can cover the forehead, balancing the face.

* For a strong or square chin, a short cut with soft curls or fullness at the crown, takes attention away from the chin.

* A top-knot adds height to a small face or short body while a perfectly oval, well-chiseled face can be shown off with a severe hairstyle, drawn away from the face.


* Women with small faces look good with shoulder length hair, rather than very short hair.

* Older women should opt for a ‘softer’ hairstyle, in which the hair is not drawn away from the face (as it emphasizes the wrinkles and age lines) but which frames the face.

* If you have a swan-like beautiful neck, you can sweep your hair into a high top knot or a French bun and draw attention to your neck.

* Girls and women using spectacles should not have a “severe” hairstyle, a softer one looks more attractive.

    A great option for round faces are long layers. Keep hair longer than the chin and ask for long layers cut into hair.

Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
