It’s summertime once more! That means for those with curly hair, it’s going to be a bit of a nightmare maintaining the locks at this time of the year when the Ugg boots and wellies still need to be donned. However, experts shared some of their great tips that would make summertime hassle-free for curly-haired individuals:
• Avoid towel drying your hair because the friction of the hair and the towel will add to the unnatural frizz. It would be better to apply gels and mousses while the hair is still wet. Use lightweight frizz control products as much as possible.
• Apply thermal protectant products on your hair first before using the straightening iron. These products must contain dimethicone and amodimethicone. According to experts, these ingredients produce a protective film on the hair so it won’t suffer damage when using the iron.
• Keep a refreshing spray on your purse and apply it on hair from time to time. The head can actually make your hair oily due to the sweat emanating from the scalp.
• Use a shampoo that contains keratin. It keep the curls bouncy.
• Use a condition after shampoo in order to maintain silky smoothness of the hair.
It’s the time of the year where teenagers prepare for the prom and due to the hard times, it has been a challenge to dress up (especially for girls) without spending too much. For girls, it’s about finding a good dress, shoes, accessories, bags, jewelry and of course – prom hair style.
Fortunately, experts have been sharing some great tips to cut back on costs but not on style:
Check out several stores before making the purchase. Chances are, there’s one out there that gives great discounts on prom dresses. Bear in mind that the stores are also slashing the prices of their merchandise due to economic crisis.
Check the internet. Weeks before the prom night, have a look on the latest deals online.
Consider wearing shorter prom dress. Long gowns understandably cost more due to materials used. There are decent short dresses that cost less yet look great.
Buy a simple dress with clean-cut designs and when you get home, exercise your creative side by designing the dress with your own trimmings.
Good supporting lingerie does not have to be expensive. You’ll feel like a queen wearing a Freya bra.
Let go of pricey and fancy hairdo. Prom hair style doesn’t have to be complicated and showy.
If you have close relatives or friends, ask them if you can borrow jewelry or bags. Remember, prom is just a one night event – so you don’t need to spend so much on these items for just a one-nighter.
