How to Stimulate Facial Hair Growth

How to Stimulate Facial Hair Growth - Stimulate Facial Hair Growth Naturally Natural way of stimulating hair growth includes following a healthy lifestyle and eating the right food. Certain vitamins and minerals stimulate hair growth. These include vitamin A, B1, B3, B6, B12, C etc. Thus, foods that stimulate facial hair growth are the ones which are rich in these nutrients. Proteins also stimulate facial hair growth. Moreover, taking adequate sleep is also important since your body uses the time you sleep to repair damaged cells of the body. This promotes hair growth in some way. Stress leads to weakening of hair or even delayed hair growth. Hence, try to lead a stress free life as much as possible.

Bumps After Waxing

Bumps After Waxing - Red Bumps After Waxing In case of sensitive skin, formation of red bumps after waxing may occur that might last for as long as 3-5 days. During this period, the skin bearing red bumps are quite prone to infection. The occurrence of bacterial or fungal infection can make the skin condition even worse. Waxing can surely produce many adverse effects but the percentage of such sufferers is quite low. Not many women have to bear the aforementioned negative effects of waxing. Usually, all such ill-effects get resolved on their own within a couple of days without heading towards further worsening of the skin condition. Also, waxing is painful but the pain is surely within the limits of tolerance. However, if you have a sensitive skin and you fear that you may develop bumps on skin after waxing, you can try some preventive and treatment measures for it. How to Prevent Bumps After Waxing?

Simple Wedding Dresses 2011

Image
Simple Wedding Dresses In The Year Each bride has a picture in their mind of the perfect wedding - the flowers, the setting, the music - all of it working together as the background for the start of her new life as a married woman. Some women want a dress that outshines the brightest star while others want something simple. The simple wedding dresses showing up for 2011 are feminine, romantic, and sophisticated. A simple wedding dress relies on the fabric and cut to make a statement rather than a significant amount of trim, the train, overstated sleeves or layers of rousing. Smooth fabrics with a slight sheen, like satin, are ideal for a simple wedding dress . The fabric moves gracefully and feels lightweight although it looks rich and elegant. Wedding dress collections on the market this year are playing up the look of some vibrant colors with white and off white fabrics. Some simple banding in red against a stark white background is incredibly eye catching on a bride . In

Hard Wax Vs Soft Wax

Hard Wax Vs Soft Wax - Mode of Application Essentially, there is no difference between hard wax and soft wax, when it comes to mode of application. Both these waxes need to be heated prior to application. However, hard wax melts at lower temperature, while soft wax needs to be heated at high temperature. The desired consistency of soft wax can only be achieved when it is heated at very high temperatures. After melting any of these waxes to the desired consistency, you can simply apply it with spatula or roller. Hard Wax Vs Soft Wax: Waxing Mechanism The basic difference between these two waxes lie in their curing technique. Hard wax hardens after it cures on your skin, while soft wax stays pretty much soft even after some time of application. As hard wax cures firmly on your skin, no waxing strips are required to pull it off the skin. You can simply lift it and pull it. Soft wax needs waxing strips or muslin cloth, which adheres to the wax layer and lifts it off the skin

Razor Burn

Razor Burn - Getting late for work leads to razor burns as one among other consequences. Hmmm?.. Well, I am talking about hasty shaving that we men are so used to in the morning. We just do not get a hold of the idea of 'early to bed, early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise!' We get up late and realize, as usual, that we are going to be late for work. So what do we do, storm towards the washroom, get hold of the shaving cream, brush and razor, and whisk the razor over the face in all possible directions. And surprisingly, we do it well and make it to work on time, as well. But after sometime, we get a stinging or burning pain on some areas of the face. Razor burn is what it is called! How to Treat Razor Burn I would say, as what experts recommend, the best razor burn treatment is to stop shaving altogether. But is this a viable option? I don't think so. So here are some remedies you can consider using to deal with the problem. The first tip

Messy Ponytail Hairstyles

Messy Ponytail Hairstyles - For women with curly hair , styling your hair into a ponytail can save you time as well as help you create an eye-catching hairstyle .  When styling a curly ponytail you will need to consider what type of hair texture is being used.  Is it fine, thick, straight, or naturally curly or wavy?   Once you determine the hair type then you can set about styling the pony tail.  You can choose if you want small curls, tight curls, big curls, or loose softer curls  If you have straight hair you will need to curl your hair first.  This can be done by using a curling iron or hot rollers.  Once this step is finished you can then pull your hair back and put it in a ponytail .  Be sure to keep the pony tail tight so that it holds all day.  If you have thick hair you can also achieve curls by using hot rollers or a curling iron and can style your ponytail a little bit loosely so that the hair appears to be softer and not such a severe hairstyle. Of course if y

Rihanna named woman of the year

Image
London: Singer Rihanna has been named woman of the year by Italian Vogue magazine. Rihanna was honoured for her charity work, pop success and her ability to tackle adversity in personal life, including troubled relationships with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and drug addict father Ronald Fenty. "Independent, energetic, the young Robyn Rihanna Fenty (only 23) is our woman of the year, and not just by virtue of numbers and figures but also, and foremost, for her kind and fighting spirit," contactmusic.com quoted a spokesperson from the magazine as saying. "The same spirit that brought her from Barbados to the top of the music charts achieving a career which she has forged and mastered completely by herself (whose last move was to become the new ambassador for Armani)," it said. "Rihanna is the undisputed best contender to the role of queen of pop. Her career has always been based on the cunning use of sexiness and provocation. "She has managed to cultivate her c

Rihanna causes controversy as she admits starving herself before magazine photoshoot

Image
Rihanna has caused controversy by admitting she starved herself ahead of a photoshoot for Esquire magazine. The 23-year-old singer tweeted that she had been restricting her food intake before she was photographed for the men's publication. She said on Wednesday: '#RihannaNavy I shot my first cover for Esquire yesterday with Russell James #rockstars*** Not much preparation for that besides wax+starve!!' Maybe the Rated R singer was intimidated by some of celebrity photographer Russell James' previous subjects. The Australian has worked with Victoria's Secret and appeared on America's Next Top Model alongside Tyra Banks. However, whatever the reasons for Rihanna's admission, fans were quick to come forward to criticise the singer for her confession. One responded: '@rihanna starve?? why?? thats a bad message to your fans ri-ri im dissapointed' Another said: '@rihanna how long did you starve??? That #rockstars*** doesn't seem fun!!' Rihanna

Rihanna's Hairstyle Takes Turn for Worst

Image
Rihanna recently stepped out in a new hairstyle that was shocking to say the least—and not in a good way. There's no doubt that the Man Down hottie is a Cover Girl. But since she released her Loud album, she just hasn't been able to get her look quite right. If the Sideshow Bob hair wasn't enough, Rihanna had to take it one step further. MediaTakeOut recently caught her out and about and, well... it wasn't pretty. You can still see red, but this time around, it's more of a brassy, orange color on top of the singer's head. You know... the kind you get form a dye job gone wrong. Plus the body of Rihanna's wavy weave was all wrong. But to make matters worse, it looked like the '70s threw up her romper. Please, someone call Stacy and Clinton, stat! There's a fashion emergency that needs to be resolved. One can only hope the Bahamian singer outgrows her Loud look stage soon enough. Sometimes Good Girls Gone Bad just do it better. A simple black pixie hair

David LaChapelle vs Rihanna: pre-trial ruling in photographer’s favour

Early this year, David LaChapelle filed a copyright claim against the label of Rihanna, accusing the Barbadian singer of copying scenes from his images in her video clip S&M. A pre-trial ruling by a federal court in New York went in favour of the photographer, meaning that the case can now go to trial. However, copyright laws protect the works themselves and not the idea. According to the court, the subject of the photos is not copy protectable, but several compositional elements in the video are similar to that of the photographs, meaning that Rihanna and her label could be found guilty of copyright infringement. This could mean that the distinction between the idea for an artwork and the work itself will no longer be one of the defining aspects of copyright. Rihanna is expected to defend her case in court. The ruling might be of some encouragement to Phillip Paulus, a German photographer who has also accused the singer of plagiarism.

Judge Throws Out Singer Rihanna’s Claims of Fair Use, David LaChappelle’s Lawsuit Allowed to Continue

Image
Hot off the heals of Monday’s two posts about high-profile, design-based lawsuits moving forward, here we have yet another. You might recall that back in February, the story that singer Rihanna and her director had swiped concepts from David LaChappelle‘s photographs for one of her videos, moved quickly from internet chatter to a full-fledged lawsuit. The singer’s legal team tried to fight the suit off, claiming that usual cry of fair use, but this week, PDN reports that a federal judge “refused to dismiss David LaChapelle’s copyright claim,” and even called the decision to try and fight from that angle “misguided and ‘unavailing.’” So now, assuming Rihanna and her record label don’t just settle with the famous photographer, the case will move forward starting in mid-August. Here’s a bit: “Both works share the frantic and surreal mood of women dominating men in a hypersaturated, claustrophobic domestic space. Thus, I find that an ordinary observer may well overlook any differences and

`Rock stars can`t be rock stars anymore`

Image
Rihanna believes that rock stars aren't allowed to be rock stars anymore because of the pressure to be a good role model. The 23-year-old singer said that people expect celebrities to behave perfectly, all of the time, which she believes 'takes the fun out of it'. Talking about the restrictions placed on her, she told Glamour magazine, 'In the beginning of my career, it was really strict for me. I couldn't wear pink or red lipstick. It was just bizarre. 'We had a young fan base, and they were trying to keep me fresh. But I really just wanted to be myself. I wanted to be sassy, the attitude, all the things that I am. 'I want to set the right example and, at the same time, live my life. 'I feel like pop stars can't be rock stars anymore because they have to be role models, and it takes the fun out of it for us, because we just want to have fun with art.' And on the subject of her friendship with fellow pop star Katy Perry, she said the California G
