Prisoner Charles Hanson, convicted for killing his wife, won a suit he filed against the Prison Service for ignoring to provide regular hair cuts. All in all, Hanson will be paid £128 which goes for legal expenses and hair cut costing £7.

Hanson, who got a life sentence for the crime, is currently jailed at Blantyre House in Kent. He’s currently undergoing rehabilitation and has been given privileges such as having a hair cut every six weeks.

The government agreed that prisoners should still be provided with proper health care and hygiene. Hanson argued that most of the inmates end up cutting each other’s hair which does not guarantee hygiene and proper care just like what they’ll get from a proper hair stylist.

The Ministry of Justice is reportedly finding options to prevent massive legal action from prisoners because of Hanson’s seemingly minor yet significant victory.

A spokesman for the ministry said that ministers are looking into the matter and that the recent settlement with the prisoner does not make a precedent to future legal actions by other prisoners. The ministry also stands by its policy not to make settlement with prison law-related cases.

Mineral makeup is a major trend these days despite the fact that it costs more than ordinary makeup. With this in mind, it’s better to take advantage of the benefits of these products by making sure that they are applied right on your face. In that way, you are really getting your money’s worth.

Here are some great tips shared by experts from a leading mineral makeup company:

• Use the brush: In order to effectively take advantage of the fine minerals embedded in the makeup, use the brush. Also, make it a habit to clean the brushes once a week. This will prevent the build up of bacteria on the brushes and you’ll be getting fresh batch of makeup rather than still getting leftover minerals from previous applications.

• Before applying the mineral makeup, make sure that your skin is completely dry. Set a timeframe of ten minutes before applying moisturizers and others.

• To get the smokey hot look, mix the eyeshadow with just a drop of water and apply it along the lashes’ base. It’s simple but very effective.

• Don’t overdo it: Just like any other makeup, it’s best not to apply too much on your face.

The wedding is considered to be one of the most significant events in a woman’s life. It is just but reasonable that she’d look great on the special day and this can be realized by having a fantastic wedding hair style.

Good thing, a lot of hair experts have been generous in sharing some of the best tips for women to have that picture-perfect hairstyle on the wedding day.

Here are some wedding hair style tips that can be taken into consideration:

• Consider the shape of face before implementing a hair style.

• Avoid tight curls or circular hairstyle for women that have round faces. These hairstyles usually exude a rounder look of the face.

• Women with long faces can get away with hair styles with bangs and fringes since it balances the look of the face.

• Oval-shaped faces can basically get away with any hair style. This ideal face shape for stylists can also look good with a “swept away” hairstyle.

• Determine first if a veil would be worn during the wedding because there are certain hairstyles that complement this look.

• Check fashion magazines that feature latest hairstyles because it might look good on you.

Have a memorable wedding!

Despite the hard times, it still pays off to maintain your looks and stay healthy. Here are some beauty products that you could use to replace the more expensive items and still get desirable results:

• Hair conditioners can actually be used as a shaving cream. Apply a generous amount of the condition on underarms, legs and bikini line for women and shave the hairs off. Make sure to soften your skin first in order to prevent cuts. For men, it can be used to shave off facial hair.
• Petroleum Jelly, which is typically used to soften dry areas in the body such as the knees, elbows and lips, can be used to smoothen the brow during makeup. In fact, practical makeup artists use petroleum jelly for this.
• Another great and inexpensive facial cleanser is the bio oil. To clear off the makeup before going to bed, just apply to oil on skin and wipe it off with a warm, wet towel.
• Inexpensive baby lotion can also be used as a regular moisturizer for adults. In a way, you’ll get baby soft skin. This multipurpose lotion is usually hypoallergenic thus gentle to the skin. Great also for removal of eye make-up.
