Be gentle with your hair

Being gentle with your hair while you care for it is really important. The hair is quite delicate especially when wet, so it is smart to be extra careful while washing and styling the hair to avoid hair damage. Using the right styling tools and accessories will help, and being more tender while handling the hair will help even more.

Get to know your hair

It is important to really understand your hair and get to know your hair type. That way, you will know how best to care for your hair so it stays healthy. There is a lot of information about how to discover your hair type, so a quick online search should bring up lots of resources to guide you in knowing more about your hair.

Protect your hair from heat

Another great tip for healthy hair is to ensure you protect your hair from heat. I abstain from heat completely for my hair as it does more damage than good, but if you must use heat, use the right heat protection hair care products and try to make use of heat as infrequently as possible. This will help your hair stay healthy and shiny.

Wash your hair when needed

For me, I find that weekly hair washing works best for my hair. It may be the same for you, or you may find that your hair needs bi weekly washing or more. The best way to care for your hair is to wash it when needs a wash, and not when a professional tells you to wash. Observing how quickly your hair gets dirty and washing when needed is a great way to ensure your hair stays clean and healthy, as over washing can make the scalp really dry. While washing less than required can lead to dandruff and other hair issues.

Use the right hair care products

Using the right hair care products is another way to keep your hair healthy. I pay a lot of attention to the hair care products I use, and I always ensure they are the right fit for my hair type. It is important to not just jump on the bandwagon and opt for trendy hair care products, but to go for hair care products that aere best suited to our hair type.

Cleanse

Cleansing is always the first step in a skincare routine. I use a cleanser and an exfoliating cleansing brush every morning and just a cleanser at nighttime. This keeps my skin clean, clear, and healthy looking. Cleansing properly is really important as it creates a clean foundation for the rest of the skincare products, and it also ensures the skin can soak in all the goodness from the products you are using.

Tone

Toning is the next step in the skincare routine and is another important step that is so easy to skip. A good toner removes all dead skin cells and any trace of dirt or excess oil. If you are looking to improve your skin, implementing a toner into your skincare routine is one of the fastest ways to get the job done.

Moisturise

To ensure your skin stays hydrated, soft, and supple, you should moisturise with a good serum and moisturiser for nighttime, and moisturiser and sunscreen for day time. This step can be the trickiest in the skincare routine because there are loads of options to choose from, and too many options can easily become overwhelming. The best way to go around this issue is to go for serums and moisturisers that suit your skin type. Also, observe how your skin responds, that way you know which skincare products are working well on your skin.

Beauty Muse: Emeli Sande

June 3, 2022 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , 2 Comments

The stunning and talented Emeli Sande is the Beauty Muse for the month of June. She is a striking beauty and her voice is so amazing. I could easily spend the entire day listening to her songs. For those who are not familiar with this beauty, Emeli Sande is a Scottish singer and songwriter. She was born in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, and raised in Alford, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, by an English mother and Zambian father, according to her Wiki Page.

I have been a huge fan of Emeli Sande for many years. My favourite song of hers is Beneath Your Beautiful with Labrinth. I also love Read All bout It with Professor Green.

Beauty Muse: Emeli Sande

If there is one celebrity that rocks the short hair trend really well, it is Emeli Sande. Her short hair looks amazing on her and I love how she styles it differently every time. If you are after some hair inspiration, this beautiful singer should be at the top of your list. Her short funky hair is the highlight of her signature looks; it stands out each time.

I came across an interview Sande did a while ago and I found some of her responses really interesting. Here are some excerpts from the interview with Glamour.com –

On how she transitioned to short hair with shaved sides

So I had this Jamaican hairstylist, and she had this really short blond hair. Every time I’d go there I’d say, “oh, just take a little bit off the sides.” It used to be really big, and I’d be like “a little bit more, a bit more, a bit more,” and finally she was like, “should I just shave it?!” and I was like “yeah!” And that’s how it came to work.

It is great she finally went for the look as it suits her really well.

Makeup trends she is into

I love a red lip. I love wearing black a lot so it kind of just gives you the pop you need. Um, I really like to keep things simple. Before I used to go in and have dark eyes and so much, but now I think it’s cool to just have one or two statements.

I love a good red lip too! It always stands out and all you need to add on for the rest of your face is usually minimal which is great. Red lip looks fab on Emeli Sande.
