 Way to straight hair

You always want what you don't have, don't you? When you want straight hair, your hair is naturally curly. When you want a head full of waves, your hair is poker-straight. it all happend and you should not to worry about it,here are some ways to straight your hair.

Blow-dry to get straight hair:

After you wash your hair (perhaps with a specialised straightening shampoo and conditioner like the ones by Sexy Hair), towel-dry to soak up as much moisture as you can. Comb your hair with a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush and apply a straightening creme

which will help you get straight hair while protecting your tresses from heat.

Now, grab your hair dryer.

Give your hair a quick all-over blast with the dryer, leaving your locks just slightly damp. Now, as with straightening, divide your hair into three layered sections, and, using a paddle brush and working in 2inch. sections, hold the hair tightly as you run the brush down your hair from root to tip. You’ll want to aim the nozzle of the hair dryer down to avoid frizz.

Get straight hair without heat

If you want to get straight hair without harsh heat, grab your brush and your kirby grips. First, you’ll want to wash and condition your hair as usual, and then brush it out with a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush -- no scrunching!

Then apply a leave-in conditioner throughout the hair and smooth in a few drop,

Now, you’re going to divide your hair into sections and brush it down as flat as possible, keeping it smooth by adding kirby grips in about 2inch intervals all along the way, working from a few inches from your parting down.

Continue this until your hair is pinned flat all around your head. Then, sleep on it and when you wake up, you’ll get straight hair along with your beauty rest.

Use straighteners for straight hair

If you want to get straight hair -- completely straight hair -- you’ll need straighteners. Today’s best straighteners come in ceramic, tourmaline and titanium models, and, as a rule, the thicker and coarser your hair, the more heat you’ll need (adjustable heat dials are preferred).

Then, section your hair into three layers so you can really grab your strands to iron from root to tip. If you’ve got tons of hair, add more layers or section out the layers to make your hair easier to handle.

Start straightening, pulling the iron in an even motion through 1  to 2inch sections of tightly held hair at a time, working your way through the layers. Finally, brush it out and add a shine spray

and whip your super straight tresses from side to side.

How To Make Your Nose Look Smaller

Not everyone is blessed with a perfect little nose. If you want to try to reduce the appearance of your nose, try these makeup tricks. 

For a wide nose

Apply foundation that is one shade darker than your regular makeup on both sides of your nose. Blend thoroughly toward your cheeks. Apply a little bit of light powder to the bridge of your nose to highlight the thinnest part.

For a long nose

If your nose is long and thin, apply a darker shade of foundation or powder on the tip and underneath the tip (between your nostrils) to make it appear shorter.

For a crooked nose

For a croooked nose, follow the same instructions as for a wide nose. Be sure the lines of darker foundation are straight.

Accentuate the rest
of your face

• Highlight the apples of your cheeks with a peachy blush, blending up and out, to soften the look of your nose.
• Use bold, glossy lip color to take the attention off your nose and put it on your mouth.
• Curl your eyelashes, use dramatic winged eyeliner and/or apply false eyelashes.
• Wear an updo or high hairstyle rather than face-framing layers.

 

The hairstyle made popular by Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise is, undisputedly, one of the most attractive men in Hollywood.Women find him irresistible and men can't help but imitate him.He was chosen as one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" three times and as "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1990.But besides natural good looks, what is it about Tom Cruise that makes him so striking?Obviously, he has been a trend setter in the fashion world ever since he first came on the scene in the early "˜80s.But his fashion sense, unlike many other celebrities, is not strictly subject to the current clothing trends.Indeed, when he appears in public, his clothing choices are sophisticated yet subdued.So what is it about his style that draws women's eyes and inspires men to emulate him?Besides a flashing, confident smile and undeniable charisma, it is his hairstyle and accessories. In the course of his career, Tom Cruise has perfected a variety of styles and carried off each with a relaxed coolness and confidence that have made him the envy of many men. 

Tom's most frequently sported hair style is the medium-short, purposely messy look.Perhaps the best example of this "˜do is in 1996's "Mission: Impossible" or in "Jerry Maguire."It can be achieved by applying paste or gel to wet hair and working it with fingers into a moderately controlled mess.Of course, this style can now be seen on every other man walking down the street, but when it first surfaced on the fashion scene, it was on male runway models.It seems that men perceived using hair products as a little less taboo if the super-cool Tom Cruise could pull it off as secret agent Ethan Hunt.Besides, this look gave the impression of a low-maintenance look, letting each hair fall wherever it wanted.And because of it, Tom seemed even more effortlessly good-looking.

Tom Cruise set trends again when he grew his hair to shoulder length.This "bad boy" look can be seen most recently in "Mission: Impossible 2" and "The Last Samurai."Cruise also grew his hair long for such movies as "Legend" (1985) and Interview with the Vampire (1994).In the latter, he even dyed his hair blond to play the vampire Lestat.This style is accomplished by starting with a cut that is tapered on the sides and longer in the front to allow for brushing back from the face and to make the hair look fuller.A bit of mousse is applied while hair is wet, and then hair is blow dried and spritzed with some shine spray.This was another easily manageable, relaxed cut that emanated Cruise's carefree manner.Hairstylists assert that it is one of the most in-demand hairstyles of their clients, and has been since "Mission: Impossible 2" came out in 2000.

 How to Understand Hair Loss

 

Hair grows everywhere on the human skin except on the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet, but many hairs are so fine they're virtually invisible. Hair is made up of a protein called keratin that is produced in hair follicles in the outer layer of skin. As follicles produce new hair cells, old cells are being pushed out through the surface of the skin at the rate of about six inches a year. The hair you can see is actually a string of dead keratin cells. The average adult head has about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs and loses up to 100 of them a day; finding a few stray hairs on your hairbrush is not necessarily cause for alarm.

At any one time, about 90% of the hair on a person's scalp is growing. Each follicle has its own life cycle that can be influenced by age, disease, and a wide variety of other factors.

There are many types of hair loss, also called alopecia:

• Involutional alopecia is a natural condition in which the hair gradually thins with age. More hair follicles go into the resting phase, and the remaining hairs become shorter and fewer in number.
• Androgenic alopecia is a genetic condition that can affect both men and women. Men with this condition, called male pattern baldness, can begin suffering hair loss as early as their teens or early 20s. It's characterized by a receding hairline and gradual disappearance of hair from the crown and frontal scalp. Women with this condition, called female pattern baldness, don't experience noticeable thinning until their 40s or later. Women experience a general thinning over the entire scalp, with the most extensive hair loss at the crown.
• Alopecia areata often starts suddenly and causes patchy hair loss in children and young adults. This condition may result in complete baldness (alopecia totalis). But in about 90% of people with the condition, the hair returns within a few years.
• Alopecia universalis causes all body hair to fall out, including the eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubic hair.
• Trichotillomania, seen most frequently in children, is a psychological disorder in which a person pulls out one's own hair.
• Telogen effluvium is temporary hair thinning over the scalp that occurs because of changes in the growth cycle of hair. A large number of hairs enter the resting phase at the same time, causing hair shedding and subsequent thinning.
