Sexy Bangs!

February 1st, 2010

Not only a great way to balance out a wide forehead,a long and  chunky fringe also frames the face and highlights your features.Plus,it hides your eyes a little,adding a hot hint of sex appeal!

If you don’t already have a fringe,it’s best to get it cut at a salon.Ask for a thick bang (or show the Keira Knightly picture).If you’re already sporting a fringe and growing it out,you can trim it yourself : Get fringe wet for better grip and place scissors vertically to trim so that bangs stop short at your eye level.Note that hair shortens about half an inch as it dries.Now all you have to do is style!

Step 1 : Apply a thermal protector or smoothering cream to minimise frizz and enhance smoothness.

Step 2 : When blow-drying,place two inches of hair on a large round brush at a time.

Step 3 : Apply finishing spray to set.Alternatively you can apply a bit of wax or pomade for longer lasting hold.

Bad Habit 1 : GOING TO BED WITHOUT  WASH  YOUR FACE.

= Use cleansing wipes as a short cut if you are absolutely knackered – it’s better than not cleansing at all.

Bad Habit 2 : SCRUBBING TOO OFTEN.

= Over-scrubbing can strip away natural oils,It;s best to scrub once a week for normal skin and twice a week for oily skin.

Bad Habit 3 : LACK OF SLEEP.

= Lack of snooze produces stress hormones which draw oxygen and nutrients away from the skin.Geat at least seven hours of beauty sleep every night.

Bad Habit 4 : NOT TAKING TIME TO UNWIND.

= Stress causes the skin barrier function to weaken,making skin more susceptible to fine lines and acne.Learn to relax more!

Bad Habit 5 : YO-YO WEIGHT.

= Dieting can trigger breakouts as it weakens skin fibres.If you must go on a diet,consult a nutrionist.
