Hairstyles for an Oblong Face Where the Length is Longer Than Ideal
When you look at the mirror, you want to believe that you have the perfect oval face. But when you copy the hairstyles that look good on oval faces, you end up with something that is far from perfect. Perhaps you do not have an oval face. You may in fact have an oblong face.
What is an Oblong Face Shape?
The oblong face looks almost like an oval face but it is characterized by a face length that is longer than ideal. The ideal face length, which is the distance from the hairline to the tip of the chin, should be one and one-half times longer than the length across the widest part of the face. This ideal face length can be found in the oval face shapes. If the face length is longer, then the face shape is already considered oblong.
The oblong face is not ideal for many hairstyles, but it does not sentence your hair to a lifetime of unflattering hairstyles. In fact, it is very possible to look gorgeous and stunning with your oblong face.
Think of Liv Tyler, Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore, Sarah Jessica Parker, Niki Taylor, Stephanie Seymour, and Gabrielle Reece. All that you need to do to accentuate an oblong face is get an appropriate and flattering hairstyle.
A hairstyle, of course, is a personal choice and should reflect a woman’s unique personality. But there are some rules to follow for the oblong face.
Rules for the Oblong Face
Bobs and layers will look great on the oblong face. But the first thing to remember is that the hairstyle should never add length to the oblong face. This means that extra long hairstyles, such as those that end beyond the shoulders, should be avoided. Short bobs are preferable to long bobs. But then you probably saw Gwyneth Paltrow wearing hair that goes beyond the shoulder. She looked adorable. The truth is that Gwyneth has one or more hairstylists who fuss with her hair at every instance. They keep her hair at an ideal volume so Gwyneth’s hair stays stunning.
For women like us who can’t hire a hairstylist on a retainer, the key to an attractive hairstyle is to keep the hair shorter. Unfortunately, not all short hairstyles will look good on the oblong face. Short hairstyles that add height to the head, such as the pixie crop and the spiky hair, will only make the oblong face look longer.
The recommended short hairstyles are those that add volume to the sides of the face, to restore a more desirable balance. These short hairstyles should have layers and may end in sassy flicks. The chin-length bob that caress the jaw line will also look gorgeous.
And lastly, the best hairstyles for the oblong face are those that come with bangs. Bangs that are soft and wispy will give the illusion of shorter face lengths. And if the jaw is strong, the bangs will make the face look more feminine. For a daring look, the brow-skimming bangs will be great on the oblong face. Most styles of bangs are recommended for the oblong shape, as long as they do not add vertical lines to the face. Lastly, if you have the time to spend a couple of hours at the salon, you may want to try having wavy curls.
Eyeliner Tips For Every Woman
If you know how to apply eyeliner properly, you can easily work wonders for not just your eyes but your overall facial look.
It doesn’t matter whether you want to use the pencil eyeliner or liquid eyeliner, because what matters most is how neatly and how well are you able to use it to enhance the beauty of your eyes.
Here are some tips on how to get the best results with eyeliner.
1. At the time of application, gently pull the corner of your eye to stretch the eyelids. This will help you in drawing straight and smooth lines along the eyelashes.
2. Even though eyeliner as are easily available in a wide variety of shades, black and brown are still the most preferred eyeliner shades.
3. Hold the pencil at an angle, with the tip pointing towards the inner corner of the eye, as this allows for a better view in the mirror besides keeping your hand steady.
4. Dust some lose face powder or sheer on the eyelids to work up a smoother base for the eyeliner application. Also, this little trick will help in holding the eyeliner in place for a longer duration and in preventing the eyeliner from smudging.
5. If you’re planning to curl your eyelashes, do that before applying the eyeliner or else the whole affair will turn a bit messy.
6. For an effortless way to add extra charm to your eyes you can rim your eyes with a white eye pencil, as this trick helps in making the white portion of the eye seem virtually bigger. Even a beige pencil would work equally well.
7. Avoid making the tip of the eyeliner pencil too sharp, not just because it can cause damage to your eyes but also because with a softer tip the color flows easily, which allows you to create even and smooth lines.
Hair Care Tips
The following are some basic hair care tips that you can use to improve the health and look of your hair.
General
A healthy lifestyle will mean healthier hair for you. Excessive stress, smoking, not exercising and not eating nutritiously are not healthy for your hair.
Get enough sleep.
Hair Products (Gel, mouse, hair spary...)Avoid using hair styling products with alcohol which dries out hair.
Avoid puting hair styling products directly on your scalp, if you put it on your scalp you'll clog the pores on your head.
SwimmingBefore entering a pool, wet your hair so your hair will soak up the initial water instead of the chlorinated water.
When swimming where a cap to protect your hair from chlorinated water, if you choose not to wear a cap make sure you shampoo and condition your hair right after you are done swimming.
DryingHot air can be damaging to your hair so when using a hair dryer use the cool setting.
Don't leave the blowdryer in one spot for more than a few seconds, keep it moving and at a good distance away from your hair.
To speed up the drying process, pat your hair dry with a towell and let the remaining moisture in your hair dry naturally.
Gently use your fingers or a pick to untangle any knots while your hair is drying.
Combing/BrushingUse a brush whose bristles are made from natural animal hairs, it is softer and more flexible which means less damage will be done to your hair.
Hair is most fragile when it is wet so avoid brushing or combing when it's wet, or else it will cause breakage, wait until your hair is almost completely dry before brushing it.
Use brushes/combs with widely spaced bristles/teeth and smooth tips. Sharp tooth combs can damage your hair, cause split ends, and scratch your scalp.
To keep your brushes and combs clean, wash them weekly using soap or shampoo.
Comb your hair to remove any tangles before brushing it.
Begin by combing your hair gently at the ends to get any tangles out and work your way up to the base of your hair.
Always brush/comb with a downwards stroke.
Avoid using plastic brushes/combs which create static electricity
Shampooing and ConditioningBuy shampoos & conditioners that match your hair type, trial and error is the best way to find out what specific hair product is best for your hair.
Shower with warm water, hot water can dry and/or irritate the scalp.
It is important to wash your hair, shampooing removes dirt, dead skin cells, hair oils, any hair products you may put into your hair.
When shampooing, rinse your hair out before applying any shampoo to remove any dust, dirt, and any other foreign items, then apply the shampoo onto your scalp and massage it gently with your finger tips and work your way outwards. After you are done make sure that you thouroughly rinse out your hair to remove any shampoo residue that may be left. Shampoo residue may dry your scalp/hair and or attract dirt. It is recommended that you only lather once to avoid drying your hair out, if you have oily hair, lathering again may stimulate your oil glands to create even more oil than normal.
You should wash your hair as often as you feel necessary to keep it clean, but a general rule is for oily hair you should wash it every day or every other day and for dry hair only wash it 2-3 times a week.
Try rotating the shampoo and conditioner periodically, your hair responds differently to different products.
Use a conditioner after shampooing, it'll moisturize your hair, give it extra protection, add shine, reduce static, and makes it easier to untangle.
Use a leave in conditioner, it'll hydrate and protect your hair. A leave in conditioner on your hair is the equivalent of moisturizer on your face.
When conditioning your hair, try to spread conditioner evenly through out your hair and leave it in for a couple of minutes before rinsing out your hair.
Put the conditioner in at about an inch away from the scalp, the roots of your hair contain the most oils and usually don't need the extra conditioning.
Be gentle when shampooing and conditioning, don't use excessive force rubbing your hair, remember hair is most vunerable when wet.
Chemically Treated Hair
Chemical hair treatment is often the only way to achieve a certain result, but it is widely known that procedures such as color treatment, hair perming or straightening do a great deal of damage to your precious locks. There is however something you can do to restore your hair’s health and maintain your new style or color.
Here are the basics of what you need to know about the most common chemical treatments:
How to care for colored hair
The alkaline products used in the coloring process (like most chemical treatments) lift the cuticle layer of the hair and leave it more porous then it is in a normal condition. This is needed for the color molecules to penetrate the hair shaft and to actually color the hair. Although the coloring is successful, the hair is still with raised cuticles. This is the cause for most hairs to feel rough and breakable after coloring. This process has also dried your hair a lot, so it is essential to reseal the cuticles in order to not only protect your new hair color, but to stop moisture loss and regain that silky smooth feel of your locks.
This can be done by using a moisturizing cream conditioner after dyeing. The hair conditioner moisturizes the hair and restores the cuticle layer’s normal condition. You should by all means do that if you plan to use bleaching agents to lighten the hair prior to the coloring procedure.
If you have chosen to color your hair in red or golden shades, you probably already know how these vibrant colors tend to lose their richness and brightness faster than other hair colors. In this case you’ll need some extra protection. To keep your new color as long as possible use both color-enhancing/color-preserving shampoo and conditioner.
It is also recommended to deep condition your dyed hair once a week, to fully restore its moisture and compensate any damage from daily styling.
How to care for straightened or permed hair
Dyeing is not the only procedure that involves chemical treatment. Chemical straightening and permanent wave services are the other most common treatments that can greatly damage your hair’s structure. Moreover, they often tend to be more aggressive than any hair coloring and leave the hair more porous and vulnerable. Thus you need to take care of your straightened/permed hair even more. Needless to say it’s a killer combo if beside chemical texture services you also color your hair.
If your hair is very damaged, you’ll have to apply a protein-rich hair mask or conditioner to enhance your hair’s structure, moisturize it and bring back its strength and elasticity. After that you’ll need to apply a good smoothing serum to seal the cuticle layer and make your hair as smooth and silky as it was before the texture service. We have already said that sealed cuticle layer keeps the moisture in.
As for the shampoo – it should be very gentle. If you can’t find a color-preserving shampoo, a baby shampoo is always a good alternative. Don’t shampoo your hair too often though – no matter how moisturizing your shampoo is, drying is inevitable and provokes over production of sebum. Thus use a shampoo only when hair is soiled. To hydrate and refresh it you can just apply rinse-through conditioner and use plenty of water to wash away. link...
How to take care of your bust
Women’s breasts have always been an object of desire and passionate discussion. There are various opinions on what’s the best breast size – big or small, but one thing is for sure: good looking breasts are the ones that are taken good care of. To take good care of your bust means to keep it firm and perky, with no sign of sagging. Gravity is the main enemy of breasts, especially big ones. However, there are a few things you can do to minimize damage caused by gravity and age. Here we offer some advice on how to take care of your bust. Stick to these simple rules and you’ll have beautiful breasts for quite a long time.
1. Keep a healthy weight.
Nothing affects the bust more than weight change. Avoid those diets that promise miraculous weight loss; it’s most likely to gain it again faster than you expect. But that’s not the worst thing about these diets. Losing weight fast make your breasts sag.
2. The most effective weapon against gravity is the right bra.
Be very careful when buying a bra. It may look gorgeous on the mannequin, but there’s no guarantee it will look good on you too. Moreover, and more important – it might not be comfortable enough. Make sure the bra you buy does a good job – to support and protect your bust. Women with larger breasts need a bra with stronger straps which can take some extra weight. Women wearing smaller sizes tend to buy padded bras, because they make their breasts look bigger. Padded bras, however, don’t allow the skin to breath, so it’s better to wear such lingerie on special occasions. An enhancer bra is a good choice for every-day wear. Also keep in mind that your bust changes with time and weight and the bras you’re used to buy, at a certain point may not work for you anymore.
3. Having a good posture is a must if you want good-looking breasts.
Standing up straight not only makes your bust look bigger and firmer, it pulls breast muscles and gives them more support. To keep these muscles in shape, you can also do specific exercise. To fix any posture problems, consult with a chiropractor and take the proper actions. This may mean to join a fitness program or start practicing the proper sport.
4. And talking about bras and exercise…
When practicing intensive activities such as running, jogging, tennis, aerobics, etc., always wear a sports bra. Without wearing proper underwear you help sagging a lot. Studies have shown that sagging is 40% less with women wearing a regular bra and 78% less with women wearing a sports one. So what’s the conclusion? The right bra is essential if you want a beautiful and firm bust.
5. Dry skin.
The breasts and the d?collet? often suffer from fehydration, because women neglect these parts of the body when applying a moisturizer. The bust and the surrounding skin also need special care – apply a moisturizer regularly to preserve skin’s youth and elasticity. Remember, we fight sagging here!
6. Last but not least – health.
Examine your breasts regularly to keep track of any abnormalities. We advice you to choose a date that concurs with regular hormonal changes: ovulation, menstruation, etc, and go to check up at the same date in different months. You can also do some examinations while in the shower: raise one arm and use the other to examine the breast under the lifted arm. link...
How to get sexy summer look in 5 minutes
I am always on the run, especially in summer, so I’ve made up my signature summer look. It’s sexy, stylish and easy to do in 4 simple steps for just 5 minutes. Here’s how.
STEP 1 – Skin prep
My face is beautifully tanned and I enjoy it to the maximum by only applying my daily moisturizer, skipping foundation. If you can’t afford to skip foundation, go for a light liquid formula or even better tinted moisturizer. Ideally these should be with shimmering particles to reflect sunlight and a shade or two darker than your natural skin tone.
STEP 2 – Face
I use bronzing pearls instead of loose or compact powder. Pearls are ideal for sculpting the face and giving it a natural healthy glow. I’ll share a little trick about them. Pearls usually come in at least three shades in the pot – bronze, copper and gold. I have taken out almost all of the gold pearls and have put them in a separate pot. You might use any used up cosmetic pot you have at hand.
I dip the large powder brush in the dark pearls and sweep it all over my face, starting from the apples of my cheeks, then cheeks, temples and finally T-zone. I apply them on neck, decolte, cleavage and shoulders as they are exposed as well.
Next I dip the round blush brush in the gold pearls to use them as highlighter. I apply it on areas that are naturally sun-kissed: T-zone – center of forehead, nose and chin; triangles under the eyes, just above the cheekbones, center of neck and drawing a V on cleavage.
STEP 3 – Eyes
I keep my eyes simple, yet sexy. I use eye pencil in olive color to outline my upper and lower eyelids, making the line thicker at the outer corners and lightly smudge it for a tender smoky effect. I prefer olive to black or brown, as it is dark enough to enhance any eye color, yet not too dark to look overdone and aggressive. Moreover olive makes all eyes look mysterious and exotic.
Then I again use my gold pearls, this time as eye shadow. With the base eye shadow brush I apply the gold dust on the brow bone, just under the eyebrows and on inner corners of eyes.
I finish with two layers of my favorite black volume mascara.
STEP 4 – Lips
As eyes are usually hidden behind dark shades, lips are key to the look, so I play with them every time. I prefer lip gloss to lipstick. Sometimes I only apply nude shimmering lip gloss for fresh everyday look. Other times I go for brightest colors like orange, coral, fuchsia, red. These usually match some of my accessories like necklace, scarf, sandals, hat, bag or simply my playful mood!
It all takes 2 minutes for face, 2 minutes for eyes and a minute for lips – 5 minutes total. Am now ready to go and enjoy the rest of the summer days as long as possible. Are you following? link...
How To Get Rid Of Wrinkles
Well, it is a known and proven fact that people want to look younger than their actual age. A wrinkled face does not look good, impressive and unattractive and it looks older. The spark is found to be missing which normally a wrinkle free face has. For the people of age groups after 50`s and 60`s wrinkles are common and it is due to normal aging process but if some younger person has wrinkles it is due to poor maintenance of skin.
Before I move ahead let’s discuss some causes of wrinkles. Researches done by researchers have found that these unwanted fine lines or wrinkles are attributed because of many factors such as hormonal imbalance, smoking, exposure to sun excessively which leads to loss of collagen and elastin.
Now let`s discuss some natural methods to get rid off wrinkles. One way of getting rid of these wrinkles is to buy some high quality Best Wrinkle Cream or anti wrinkle cream. Before you buy them you must check its ingredients such as Cynergy TK, Nano Lipobelle HEQ10 and Phytessence Wakame. If they did not have these ingredients then you must consult some dermatologist who can really guide you in a better way.
Another method of getting sparking attractive and wrinkle free face is use of Ayurvedic products of India which uses only natural products such as haldi, chandan (sandalwood), tulsi etc. as the list of such items is quite long.
To get skin`s firmness, glow and elasticity the ingredients mentioned above are very useful. I hope when you are going to buy anti skin product you would keep in mind the above some points. Moreover if you keep good care of your face and skin the wrinkles will not come as early as in normal case. So you must use products made of milk such as curd, butter etc. In the end I would recommend that try using natural products and you will have always a good wrinkle free skin. link...
Types of Acne
Zits, Pimples and Blemishes are usually the worst experience of a victim. These also prove to be a nasty site for the onlooker. Usually all of these look exactly like one another but in reality there are a lot of different species of these. So you should pay attention to the type before getting some cream or other medical solution.
The first are the commonly known blackheads. These have a wider opening than usual. Inside of them are sebum that is an oily secretion and dead skin cells. The black stuff at top is made of the dead skin cells and is the cause for its name.
The second type is the Whiteheads. These are based under the skin. These also contain sebum and dead skin cells but due to a tiny opening these don’t turn black and thus are called Whiteheads.
Third comes the Papules. These are small red and pink bumps on the skin. These contain bacteria, sebum and dead skin cells. Squeezing them out is not a good idea so you should take care of that too. They heal by themselves so playing with them isn’t the best option.
Fourth is the advanced form of the Papules. This in appearance is of red color. The top is of brownish color. These can be treated with a benzyl peroxide cream and cleansers but again don’t try to break them.
The fifth are Nodules. These are painful and solid pimples. These are able to penetrate far into the skin. Popping them is very dangerous because it can cause serious infection. The most advanced stage OD Acne is Cysts. These are painful, deep and pus filled. Cysts while travelling to the surface can damage skin tissues.
So these are all the types of Acne you should know of. So happy skin protecting! link...

5 Tips to Protect Yourself from Air Pollution
Though some level of air pollution is inevitable, you can protect yourself against it. With a few simple measures such as those listed below, you can keep yourself free and clear of air pollution. These aren’t hard to do and can really go a long way in protecting yourself.
1. Keep an eye on the forecast. In locations that are particularly prone to smog and other pollutants, this becomes a part of the daily weather forecast. If you happen to live in one of these areas where smog is a problem, then keep tuned into the forecast. While you can’t necessarily stay in on these days, you can try to plan your activities around the forecast as you would with the weather. Keep an eye on the days that are potentially high risk for pollution and do whatever you can to avoid being outside and breathing it in.
2. Stay away from smoke, even second hand. A simple guideline to remember—if you smoke, then quit. If you are subject to second hand smoke, then do your best to avoid it. If you are in a smoky environment, even if you aren’t the one doing the actual smoking, this can present a major form of air pollution. Staying away from smoky environments can be very wise for your health, and this is an easy way to avoid air pollution overall.
3. Try to minimize your driving whenever you can. When you drive your car, you are contributing to air pollution. Though it’s not always possible to avoid driving, you can do your part to minimize it as much as possible. You can use another mode of transportation, carpool, condense trips in the car, or even bike to your destination. Whenever possible, do your part by avoiding driving or at least keeping it to a minimum.
4. Don’t exercise or be outside during potentially high pollution days. As you keep tuned into the forecast to know when the potentially polluting days are, stay inside on these days. Though you may enjoy exercising outdoors, avoid the temptation when pollution levels are high. This can ensure your safety and your health when it comes to air pollution.
5. Don’t burn a fire or any other substances. Though many of us enjoy a fire in the fireplace, this contributes to air pollution over time. Do your best to avoid or at least keep the fires to a minimum. Most certainly avoid burning leaves or any other substance as this releases pollutants into the air.
If everybody were to take a vested interest in avoiding air pollution, this effort would go a long way. Air pollution can wreak havoc on your health, so do your best to protect yourself against it. If you avoid potentially polluting situations and do your part to avoid contributing, you will lessen the likelihood of damage down the road. link...
