How to Curl Hair with Curling Iron

How To Curl Hair with a Curling Iron:

curly_hair

Step-by-step Guide:

1) Choose a right curling iron. If you want loose curls or beach waves you need a curl iron with barrel size of 1-2 inch diameter. If you are thinking of tight curls, pick a curl iron of 0.75 to 1 inch thick barrel.

2) Set the heat into right temperature for your hair texture. If your hair is fine and fragile, keep the heat at 200 degrees. If your hair is a bit curly or coarse, set it at 300 degrees. Always keep the temperature below 400 degrees for any hair texture.

3) Prepare the hair by washing it with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Use a heat protectant hair spray before you curl your hair.

4) Divide dry hair into several manageable sections.

5) Carefully wrap each section around the barrel starting at the roots and hold for few seconds. Remove the curled hair from the barrel.

6) Repeat curling each section.

7) When you have done with all the sections, gently finger comb the hair from root to tips.

8) Mist the hair with a hairspray.

# If your hair is not able to hold the curls, roll up each curled section after removing from the barrel and secure it with a bobby pin and use hair spray to hold it. Release the rolled up sections after the entire hair is curled and is completely cooled.

# Never curl the hair when it is damp or wet.

# Clean your curl iron before and after every use.

Eyebrow Shapes For Different Face Shapes

Perfectly shaped eyebrows are very important to enhance the facial beauty. Well defined brow shape is very much essential to look good. Eye brow shape can make the face look narrower or wider and it can also draw attention from certain areas of the face. Eyebrows-for-Your-Face-Shape

Each face shape needs different eyebrow shapes to look perfect. There are various face shapes and each shape is equally beautiful. Lets see which eyebrow shape suits different face shapes:

Eyebrow Shapes For Different Face Shapes:

Round Face Shape:roundface

The Goal is to make a round face appear less round by making the face appear longer.

angled eyebrows for round face shapes
angled eyebrows for round face shapes

Apply lines that go more up and down the face. This helps draw the eye up and down and lengthens it. Create as high an arch as you can. Stay away from a rounded brow shape. This makes a round face look very round.

Long Face Shape:longface

The goal is to make a long face appear shorter

flat eyebrow shapes
flat eyebrow shapes for long shaped faces

Apply straight horizontal lines. A flat brow shape accomplishes this. It’s horizontal shape makes the face appear shorter.

Oval Shaped Face:ovalface

This is considered the ideal face shape. The perfect eyebrow shape is the soft angled eyebrow shape. The soft angled shape goes straight up and then gently curves round.

Square Shaped Face:

A square jaw is a strong feature. Balance it with a strong brow or soften it with curves.

A thicker stronger eyebrow shape balances a heavier jawline. A defined sharp peak at the top of the brow makes the brow appear stronger. Angled brows or curved brows create this balance.

Heart Shaped Face:heartface

Soften your look with curves. Shape eyebrows so as to create a beautiful heart shape using the beginning of brows as heart’s top and chin as heart’s end.

round brows for heart face
round eyebrow shapes for heart shaped faces

Apply rounded brows. The curve of the brow is soft, feminine and attractive and also creates the heart like look of the face.The best eyebrow shape for a heart shaped face is rounded. A low arch creates a natural look, while a high arch can add length to a shorter face or create a dramatic look.

Diamond Face Shape:

Soften the angles in your diamond face shape and make the widest portion of the face appear less wide.

23 Things You Do That Spoil Your Skin

Here are a few things that you are doing everyday, that effects your skin. Make a list and avoid these habits to protect your beautiful glowing skin.

23 Things that spoil skin, which you are doing almost everyday:

1) Frowning:frowning

Too much of frowning or repeated movement of facial muscles to form face expressions can lead to fine lines or wrinkles which age the skin faster.

2) Over Exfoliating:over exfoliating

Over exfoliating the skin will take away all the necessary oils your skin needs to maintain its glow. You need to exfoliate your skin only once or twice a week.

3) Stress:stress

Stress results in skin blemishes, dullness, rashes, acne and skin ages faster. Consider doing yoga or enjoy cooking, reading or something you like to combat stress.

4) Taking Too Much Sugar:New Image

Eating more sugar or sugar contained foods can damage the skin’s collagen and makes the skin saggy. If you are fond of sweet taste, consider fruits like mango or pine apple.

5) No Exercise:women-doing-yoga

Exercise increases blood flow and gives your face a healthy glow. It also removes the toxins from your body. Dead skin cells can be removed easily. Age spots appear more in the absence of exercise or sufficient physical activity.

6) Dirty Pillow Cases:dirty pillow case

During nights your skin rests and sheds the dead skin cells. These dead skin cells builds up on the pillow cover over time and attract bacteria. Change the pillow covers more frequently to protect your skin and health.

7) Chemicals In Water:chemicals in water

Purifying agents or chemicals in tap water will build up on the skin over time and act harshly on the skin. Dry brush or use body scrub once a month to remove the chemical build up or soap residues.

8) Waxing too often:waxing

Too much waxing can result in raw skin and increased bumps. Give your skin at least three weeks to regenerate, especially in sensitive areas.

9) Squinting Your Eyes:squinting and blinking eyes

Make sure you visit an eye specialist once a year to avoid squinting. Check whether your prescription glasses or contact lenses are too old and whether your power has changed.

10) Too Much Sodium:Salt

Too much sodium in your foods will suck all the moisture from your skin and leaves it dull and dry. Reduce your salty foods and also use a good moisturizer.

11) Insufficient Sleep:sleep deprivation

Not getting a good sleep spoils your skin and it will be aged faster. Get a recommended daily sleep of at least 8 hours to keep your skin refreshed and rejuvenated.

12) Dirty Sunglasses:Wearing-Dirty-Sunglasses

Bacteria that build up on the sunglasses can clog your pores on the bridge of your nose and causes acne or irritation. Wipe your sunglasses daily to protect your skin.

13) Hair Products On Face:hair products on face

Cover your face with a clean towel when you use a hair spray. Secure your hair with a sweat band while you exercise and always avoid your hair from falling on your face.

14) Dirty Phone:how-many-germs-live-on-your-cell-phone

Just like your sunglasses, consider cleaning your mobile screen regularly using anti bacterial wipes to protect your skin.

15) Insufficient Water:health-problems-due-to-insufficient-water-intake-featured

Drinking insufficient water can cause skin blemishes as the toxins cannot be removed properly from your body. It also results in acne, wrinkles and fine lines. Drink enough water to keep your skin glowing.

16) Too Many Products:beauty-products-1

Testing or using too many products on your face can damage you skin. If you have to test a product, use somewhere else like your wrist, instead of on your face. Avoid too much makeup to keep the skin healthy.

17) Long, Hot Baths:long hot bath

Bathing for a long time or in hot water, takes away all the moisture from the body and makes it dull. Always use lukewarm water to keep your skin glowing and also try to finish your bath faster.

18) Skipping Meals:skipping-meals

Skipping meals can take away all the glow from your face and ages your skin faster due to insufficient nutrition.  Always try to include vitamins C , B3 , E , and A in your meals to build up your skin’s health.

19) Popping Pimples:popping-red-pimple-acne

Picking at the skin on your face will only push dirt and bacteria deeper into pores, resulting in more breakouts.

20) Coffee:caffeine

Caffeine makes the skin dry and causes premature ageing. Drink lots of water or fruit juices and avoid caffeinated foods such as coffee.

21) Alcohol:alcohol

Wine, beer, and liquor can dehydrate your skin, leaving it quenched for moisture.

Hair Curling Tips:

  • First prepare the hair by blow drying wet hair.
  • Mist a light weight heat protection hair spray all over the top layers.
  • Flip your head upside down to spray the bottom layers properly.
  • Heat the curl iron to 320ºF (160ºC) for fine hair and 430ºF (220ºC) for thick hair.
  • Clamp the iron to 1-inch section of hair closest to your face, and rotate the barrel.
  • Immediately roll the just-curled section around your finger, and secure it with a bobby pin on your scalp. It’s okay if it’s messy or the end sticks out.
  • Using bigger sections of hair will result in bigger, looser curls, while using smaller sections of hair will give you smaller, tighter ringlets
  • Repeat the above two steps with the next section of hair. Secure each curled section on the scalp with a bobby pin.
  • Keep going until you finish curling and pinning up all your hair, then apply another coat of hair spray.
  • Leave for 5-10 minutes. Then carefully remove all the bobby pins. Draw your fingers through the hair to break up the curls. Once you got the curls the way you want, use hair spray.

Stippling (cream blush):stippling brush blush

Oily Skin Care Routine

The basic aim of oily skin care is to remove excess sebum from the skin. But one mistake mostly done is people tend to over wash the face a number of times and remove all the oils completely. Oily skin care procedures should not lead to complete removal of oil. If you make the skin dry by completely removing oil using harsh soaps or face washes, the skin tries to correct it naturally and starts producing more and more oil, which results in increased sebum.oily-skin-face

Oily Skin Care Routine:

1. Cleanser:

Start with a cleanser. However, not all cleansers will work. Choose a cleanser, which contains salicylic acid i.e. a beta-hydroxy acid. It reduces the excessive sebum production. Cleansing should be done twice a day. You can use more times during humid times.FaceWash_1

Most of the oily skin care products are oil-free. But it is always good to check the ingredients before you buy it. Do not buy products which is marked as ‘suitable for all skin types’. Instead, choose those which are meant exclusively for oily skin types.

Buy Cipla Saslic Face Wash (Rs. 165/- for 60 ml on Junglee)

Buy Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash (Rs.499/- for 175ml on Nykaa)

2. Toner:

If your skin is extremely oily, your toner can contain a little alcohol. Toning is the second step in your oily skin care routine i.e. just after cleansing. Make sure not to use toner excessively. Over use of alcohol based toners may dehydrate the skin and results in more oil production. Wet a cotton ball with toner and wipe onto face and let it air dry before putting on a moisturizer. Toner with witch hazel are good for oily skin types.
