• It’s never too early to start looking after your skin so even if you are in your early twenties make sure you establish a good cleansing and toning routine. As you get older your needs change so make sure you are using an age appropriate product. Manufacturers such as Olay make a range of products suitable for all ages.
• Make sure your moisturiser contains a sunscreen, even if it is winter! 80% of skin aging can be put down to sun damage so an SPF of at least 15 is recommended. If you are exposing your skin to the sun for a prolonged period always use a high factor sun cream. Better still screen your face with a floppy hat and sunglasses.
• Don’t smoke. Smoking starves the skin of oxygen (even if you are in the company of smokers) and also causes wrinkles around the mouth.
• Alcohol is equally damaging to the skin, being responsible for red spider veins due to the blood vessels in the face dilating.
• Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
• Ensure that you get plenty of sleep (at least eight hours a night)
• Moisturisers with added Vitamin A can help with wrinkles but they also make your skin more sensitive to sunlight so either use at night or take care to protect your skin during the day.
• Eat sensibly and avoid yo-yo dieting which causes the skin to lose its elasticity.
• Don’t frown too much. This causes lines where the muscles contract so make an effort to relax the face even if you’re feeling cross!

Wash and dry your hair as normal, then spray with protective hair spray of serum this will help protect your hair during the heat styling process. Brush through your hair thoroughly then starting at the nape of your neck use a comb and section small areas of hair to start curling. Select enough hair for your first curl, an amount about half an inch square will give a nice curl.

The secret of using ghd straighteners to curl hair, is in the angle. Normally to straighten hair you run them down through the length of your hair, with the tool held horizontally.

To use straighteners to curl your hair, they need to be angled vertically and moved slowly down in a slow winding motion around the hair. This action results in nice smooth curls. Use the ghd straighteners in a similar way to how you would use curling tongs.

For lots of curls and lift, work through as many sections of hair as you like. For an alternative look, just add some random curls and mingle them with the rest of your hair.

The bigger the section of hair you curl around the straighteners – the larger, more open the curl result will be.

If you want to create flicks; start half-way down the length of hair, clamp the iron closed and turn it back on itself in a half turn. You should now have created a U-shape with the hair and the iron. Keeping the iron on that half-turn angle, slowly move it down the hair to the end.

For curls; start fairly close to the scalp, clamp the iron closed and turn it back on itself a half turn Run the iron slowly down the hair to the end. The lower you move the iron, the tighter the curl. The faster you move the iron, the gentler the wave.

Here are some benefits we get from waxing, however, you might even find more benefits if you try it yourself.

• One of the greatest benefits of waxing I guess is its long lasting effect. Considered to be the most effective method of removing unwanted hair in any part of the body, waxing is said to be a practical and efficient choice. Women who choose waxing over other method do not need to go to salon more often for their hair to be waxed. Since waxing basically removes the hair from its root, the re-growth of new hair may take a longer period of time compared to other method of unwanted hair removal. Though the duration of new hair growth varies from person to person and may also depend on skin types, generally it is observed that it takes around four to eight weeks.

• Large areas of unwanted hair can be removed quickly at one time. With waxing, there is less hassle in procedure; you can actually save more time because you can spread the wax over relatively larger areas.

• Waxing is easy and safe. Waxing is not a complicated procedure; we can actually perform waxing even at home. Just make sure you do the procedure properly.

• With regular waxing, the re-growth may become thinner and finer which is another great advantage. Repeated and regular waxing diminishes hair growth. Gradually you will observe sparse and scanty hair growth which might even lead to complete cessation of hair growth. Wearing sleeveless, tube tops, spaghetti straps, racer backs, swim wears and gowns requires our underarms to be clean, fair and smooth looking. With the use of waxing over a period of time, we can actually develop the kind of armpit most suitable for these types of clothes.

• Waxing is actually cost efficient. While some may say waxing is an expensive option, I would still say it’s not. Compared to other cheaper choices of removing unwanted hair, waxing may cost a little much. But remember that waxing has long lasting effect that actually helps us save more money since we don’t have to go to salons more frequently.

Everything must be coordinated, that’s why try to choose everything, from the dress to the accessories that suit you and the occasion and than decide which will be your choice from the abundance of formal hairstyles.

Do your haircut at least one week before the formal event to allow the hair to settle down. Fresh haircuts are not always easy to manage. Then with your stylist’s help have to choose the right formal hairstyles for you. You can choose a particular hairstyle from celebrities in a magazine.

Update hairstyles are always in vogue. The stylist can modify it to suit your personality. Curly hair deposited near the crown with curls framing the face is very feminine. If your hair is blond and absolutely straight you can use medium length haircut and gentle waves.

Layered wavy hair does not need any special formal hairstyles. Just use some styling foam. Straight hair in a pony tail is a perfect formal hairstyle for business meetings.

Try to find time to relax. The stress and the lifestyle have effect on your skin and hair. And don’t forget: Less is more!

Women Over 40 Considering a New Hairstyle
By Terry Glass

As we get older there are changes to our lives, our lifestyle and our bodies that we did not have to face or consider when we were younger. When it comes to hairstyles for women over 40 we will often find that we have no choice but to change the way we have our hair cut.

You see the problem is not how we have lived our lives but what the effect of just living has had on our body. As we age we find the hair follicle starts to degrade making hair fragile, lifeless and prone to thinning.

As we become older our metabolism slows down. Cell regeneration decreases as well and the affect of this is in the pigment of the hair cortex, or middle layer of the hair strand, causing hair to turn white.

You will agree that having long hair with beautiful flowing locks that have turned grey will cost a small fortune each time we book our hairdressing appointment. Grey hair is very hard to color as the dyes are simply not taken up readily into the hair strand.

So when it comes to haircuts for women over 40 the consideration is the cost to maintain the color of the hair as well as the time it will take in maintenance. Well, the maintenance side we can handle as long as there is some “me time” in your daily schedule. But, coloring longer hair, well thats a different story and the only way to achieve good long hair color is to pay for it.

You will see that hairstyles for women in their forties often are shorter styled cuts for these very reasons that are unavoidable. The reason is both budget and the time required to maintain the hair. Short hair will take two applications of serum whereas longer hair will take several bottles, who can afford that!

Medium length hair styles for women over 40 are borderline manageable and often worn by women who have the time to maintain their hair as well as the money to pay for it. Personally I feel short to medium length hair worn by a woman in her forties is saying they are confident and in a contented place at that point in time of their lives.

Hairstyles for over 40 women basically comes down to personal preference, schedule of daily activities and cost. Over 40′s hairstyles often are worn through necessity rather than choice basically coming down to the fact of individual circumstances.

Haircuts for women in their 40s are by nature short styled cuts that are colored with highlights foiled through the hair. Short hair style cuts for the forties woman is easy to manage, quick to wash and set, accepted by peers and makes its own fashion statement.

I absolutely love talking about hair styles when it comes to making a fashion statement. The most common questions I have been asked has formed my website. The site is packed with information dealing with all aspects of haircuts for women providing up to date information and resources.
