Tips For Shine

Don’t Break the Shine Line - Shine is perceived in two parts: the Chroma-Band, which reveals the color within the hair shaft, and its complement the Shine-Band, which is a pure reflection of light off of the hair’s protective coating. In order to maximize the shine created by these two components, the cuticle layer must be smooth and aligned. For maximum bands of color and shine, recommend a style of uniform length that is more conducive to showing off shine than heavily layered looks.

What is Thermal Reconditioning?
With thermal reconditioning, your hair becomes silky, smooth, and shiny. After the treatment, the hair becomes more manageable and looks healthier.

Milbon Straight Liscio
Liscio makes resistant/curly/wavy hair look naturally straight & shiny and manageable.

To get the best result of thermal reconditioning, it is crucial to use the right products, the right technique, and most importantly, to choose the right hairstylist with extensive knowledge and experience of this treatment. Before the treatment, hairstylists need to diagnose the hair accurately, then decide which products to use, adjust their flat-iron technique and determine processing time.

Hair Consultation
First, you need a hair consultation with your hairstylist before having thermal reconditioning treatment. This is to see your condition and decide whether or not your hair can have the treatment.

Straighteners & Hair Protections
Different products are used for virgin hair and hair for touch-up. Hairstylists determine which product to use according to your hair condition.

Hair Conditioning
It is important to condition hair before thermal reconditioning if the hair is damaged. By adding Keratin and Collagen, hair becomes more healthy and ready for the treatment.

Flat-Ironing Technique
This process is to restructure hair texture. By adding heat on every section of hair for 3 seconds, the chemical ingredients go into hair deeply and make hair straight.

Hair Care at Home is Crucial
Maintain your glossy hair with salon quality products at home.
Say good-bye to bad hair days!

Jenny’s Poem

FIRST KISS

We meet at a place where no one exists
I do not know how to say to you why
but I’m feeling very shy
It’s a wonderful joy looking in those beautiful eyes
I can see your handsome face perfectly clear
Your voice and caring words are so nice to hear
Nothing else matters to me but me and you
As I get to know you my wonderful “find”
You’re so special to me; you’re one of a kind
As we walk out of that warm cozy place
Out in the rain and on our way
A good night hug for you I give
The touch of your hand on my waist
I feel your hot breath very near;
My eyes closed shut waiting for what I seek is now here
Our first kiss in the rain can’t be missed
So soft and so sweet as if I am in a heavenly bliss
A kiss that I will think of each day and night
Never felt an overjoyed sensation like this
For every day; I do not want to miss
A passionate night between me and you
I will always be ready for my rainy day kiss.

Beauty Tips For Summer Brides

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 18:49:03 +0000

Go easy on tanning. A dark tan will look harsh in photos; consider a subtle bronzer instead. Most bridal gowns are strapless these days, so beware of acquiring tan lines in the weeks before the wedding.
You don’t need tons of makeup to photograph well, but you do need extra definition. Emphasize—and balance—your eyes and lips.
Resist the temptation to experiment with new facial treatments and products in the month before the wedding. You may end up with a poorly timed break-out.
Before applying foundation, apply a transparent “primer.” It will form a barrier between your skin and makeup, so makeup won’t melt off in the heat or seep into your pores.
Consider wearing artificial lashes to define your eyes, especially if you’re over 30 (lashes start thinning as women mature). But be sure they’re applied with waterproof glue, so they won’t “shed” if you cry or perspire.
Do your hair before makeup. Blow dryers can wreak havoc on a freshly made-up face.
Avoid trendy eye shadows; they make photos look dated later. Leesi recommends placing a wash of frosted color on the lid, with matching matte color on the brow.
To make lips stand out, choose a slightly—just slightly—darker lipstick than usual.
Unless your teeth are very white, avoid coral and orange shades; yellow tones in lipstick makes teeth look yellow as well.
Take a few days off from makeup before the wedding—give your skin a rest.
Sleep, sleep, sleep (if you can)! Nothing helps your skin more.
No matter what your budget is, invest in a good photographer. This is one component of your wedding that will last beyond one day.
