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

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Get rid of head lice with these home remedies

Lice infestation is such a bothersome, distracting and embarrassing problem. Surely everyone harbors them at one time or the other. It is usually common among school children but soon spreads to other members of the family. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a sign of poor hygiene, as lice are not fussy whether they lay their eggs in clean or dirty hair. But yes, a dirty scalp can well serve as a perfect breeding ground for these tiresome creatures. Lice get transferred easily from child to child owing to the close contact of heads, during play, while sitting together or by sharing caps. Though there are many chemical and herbal over-the-counter preparations to remove lice, it is better to refrain from using them for they might also remove a good bit of your hair, while others could have a drying effect on the hair.  There are many home-remedies which do work well but the age-old method of regular combing with a close-toothed comb on all counts, is the most eff...
