HA IR No matter how lush your locks, they need regular TLC. After all, in many cases it is our hair which is subjected to some pretty rough treatment such as heat, colouring, bodywaves and straightening not to mention pollution, sun, salt water, chlorine, and even harsh winter weather. Taking care of your crowning glory means appropriate daily care and that care will depend on your hair type and the time of year. Shampoo, conditioner, oils, conditioning treatments, and detangling spray are just some of the products which provide hair pampering. Add to this, a cold water rinse plus a bristle hairbrush and your head will be in capillary heaven.

but so often neglected yet eyebrows are such an important part of the face, protecting eyes from sweat as well as helping us to show our feelings with a slight lift or a little frown. That’s why it is so important to take care of them. The key to that is shaping which might involve, waxing, threading or plucking; the latter is a lot less painful if done immediately after a shower, as the heat dilates the skin’s pores. To refine them or to create the perfect arch, consult a beauty therapist. Having brows and lashes tinted and brows shaped at the same time is not expensive and if you have a few hairs around the chin area have them waxed away too – you’ll feel a million dollars afterwards. Hair, eyelashes, eyebrows need special care but treated well, these features can elevate your look.
