how to do a french braid

waterfall braid

Waterfall Braid:

                  

This is also a sub dividion of the French Plait where you add more sections of hair on one side while on the other side you will drop the existing section and pick up a section from right behind the dropped section. Yes confusing right. No worries that’s why we have appended this pictorial to give you a visual.

 

 

Pictorial to Create Waterfall Braids

Prep:

Always start with detangled hair when waterfall braiding. Applying a good serum not only helps in detangling but also eliminates frizz and also adds shine to the hair. For the front section take a side or middle parting as per your choice and follow the pictorial.

1. Pick up a section of hair from the side and start with a regular braid by dividing the hair into 3 sections: Top [T] , Middle [ M ] and Bottom [ B ]. Braid the hair normally for 2 cycles.
2. For the 3rd cycle pick up a section of hair from the parting and combine it with the T section and braid.
3. Now drop the B section.
4. Pick up a section from right behind the B section.
5. Combine the above picked section of hair into the braid
6. Continue the same process till you reach the ear.
7. From the ear braid normally till you reach the end and secure with elastic.
8. You can either leave the braid or pull it behind and secure with bobby pins forming a band.

How to make your blow-dry last

• start with wet hair. you can gently towel-dry so it's not dripping wet, but don't rub too hard (it'll get tangled). for the smoothest, most long-lasting results, avoid ''rough drying''-fluffing the hair with your hands while drying. while it saves time, it makes hair frizzy.
  


• don't use too much product. if your hair is fine or oily, it'll become limp. put a bit of product only the ends, if needed.
  


• divide your hair in sections, and start in front because this area tends to dry the quickest. using a round brush and plenty of tension, aim the blow dyer at the roots and move it along the length of your hair to the ends. heating the hair in the direction of the cuticle helps keep it smooth and fights frizz.
  


• for volume and height, hold each section up and in the opposite direction from the way you want it to lie. for extra bounce, pin each section up after drying to let it cool. this helps set the curl so your hair doesn't go flat the minute you walk out the door.
  


• to make your blowout last, spray your hair lightly and leave it alone. avoid brushing it out or running your fingers through it - this will break up the bonce and make I go limp.

How to tell if you have Combination Skin

most people think they have dry or oily skin but really have combination skin . Combination Skin is
basically a combination of 2-3 skin types , usually oily in some areas and dry in others .

                                                          

COMBINATION SKIN CHARACTERISTICS

If you find your T-zone (the forehead ,down the nose to the chin ) is oily , prone to blackheads and
breakouts while your cheeks may remain dry and flaky , you have a combination skin .

Most people's skin changes a lot over the course of the year .Skin is seasonally and hormonally
affected . you may find your skin is oilier in summer and dry in winter . In spring and fall , your T-zone
is oily while your cheeks are dry . When you are on your period , your skin may experience breakouts
causing you to think your skin is oily . But once your period is over , the breakouts clear right up and
you skin can become flaky . This is a sign of combination skin .


CAUSES OF COMBINATION SKIN

Oily skin is caused by overactive sebaceous (oil ) glands . Heat and humidity will increase sebum
production , which is why your T-zone may become super oily in the summer while your cheeks seem
to normalize . In winter , when furnace heat kicks in and cold strips your skin of it's natural oils , your
oily spots may become more normal while your cheeks become dry and flaky .


HOW TO TAKE BASIC CARE OF YOUR SKIN

The secret to treating combination skin is to spot treat your problem areas . cleanse with a cleanser
formulated to cut down on sebum production and use a mosturizer on your dry spots . Exfoliate your
face with a warm washcloth. This helps break down oils and helps remove dead skin .

how to look taller : 14 fashion tips

                                    How To Look Taller: 14 Fashion Tips That Work

If you’re petite, your height can sometimes feel like a serious impediment to your style. Until SCIENCE comes up with a way for short folks to add a few extra inches, however, your best bet is to rely on a few clever fashion tips and tricks to fake those extra inches. Below, we outline how to look taller using nothing but what you’ve got in your closet.

                                               MORE: 30 Celebs Who Are 5’3 Or Under

               Read on, and be sure to let us know in the comments your tips for looking taller!

1. Try flared jeans.
Fitted jeans with a distinct flare at the bottom create the illusion of a longer leg— especially when the hem hits the top of your shoes (heels, of course!) The trick here is to keep the fit of the jean super-slim through the leg, and to make sure the waistband hits your natural waist—not any lower. For optimal height, be sure to pair your flares with a waist-length top, or a blouse you can tuck in.

2. Don’t discount maxi skirts! 
It’s common fashion folklore that small women simply cannot wear floor-grazing skirts and dresses, but luckily that’s been proven entirely false. In fact, a well-cut maxi skirt can actually give you the appearance of looking taller, as evidenced by petite gals like Rachel Bilson, Rachel Zoe, and Mary-Kate Olsen.

Choose solid versions that skim the length of your body, which will create a long vertical line (forego anything with thick pleats or too many layers.) Be sure to keep your top fitted—a tucked-in T-shirt and a cropped leather jacket, for example—so as to not drown in fabric. Also, make sure the skirt’s hemline is as long as you can go without tripping, and add a pair of wedges or heels underneath.

3. Choose heels with a low-cut vamp.
Here’s small trick that can change the way you shoe shop: Shoes that have a low-cut vamp instantely elongate your leg (and make them look slimmer, as well) when you’re wearing skirts, shorts, and dresses.

What’s a vamp? It’s the portion of a show that cuts across your foot at the front. So, a low vamp cuts across the base of the toes, while high vamp can come up the foot and possibly up to the ankle. If you’re able to find a pair that matches your skintone, like the image above, that’s even better to give the illusion of mile-long legs.

4. If you’re going short, go short!
When you’re petite, it’s just a fact that—when it comes to skirts and dresses—you should either go super-long, or super-short (translation: avoid calf-length and knee-lengths). Mini-skirts show MORE skin, which creates the illusion of a longer leg. Here, petite It-girl Miroslava Duma pairs her mini-skirt with a matching top (see tip #6!) and sky-high platforms.

While ankle straps typically aren’t ideal for short ladies (they cut off your leg), they can work with super-short skirts since more skin is being shown. Of course, if you’re wearing a mini, make sure it’s not offensively short—let’s keep it chic, ladies.

5. Rock a top knot!
Obvious, yes, but piling your hair on top of your head really does gives a taller impression, again creating a more vertical line. Same goes for hair that’s simply voluminous—it adds inches! Time to put away that flatiron, friends.

6. Wear all one color.
Using color to enhance the illusion of height is a highly effective strategy, as it helps create a vertical line. While wearing head-to-toe black is the simplest—and eternally chicest—option, saturated hues work well, too (a look that’s incredibly now, as well.) The trick to monochrome dressing: Keep each silhouette crisp and tailored.

7. Say yes to high-waist bottoms!
High-waist bottoms get a bad rap, possibly thanks to an unfortunate Jessica Simpson style mishap, but when worn correctly, they can trick the eye into thinking you’re taller by elongating your lower body. Whether you choose skirts, shorts or skinny jeans, be sure to make the elevated waist visible by tucking in a tailored blouse, or opting for a slightly cropped top.

8. Wear pointy flats.
Since nobody can be expected to wear sky-high heels every day, petite gals should INVEST in a pair of pointy flats. Why? Because it’s a known fact that shoes with pointed toes lengthen your leg line.

9. Rock out with vertical stripes.It’s the oldest trick in the book for a reason: Vertical stripes create long lines, thus making you look, well, longer. BONUS: Stripes are one of spring’s biggest trends, so you’ll have absolutely no problem locating some cute striped options.

10. Ditch the gigantic SHOULDER BAG!
Keeping your accessories appropriately scaled to your body size is a smart move for petite girls, starting with that oversized bag. Here’s why: Every time you cause the eye to take in width, you reduce the amount of height it takes in. That means smaller cross-body bags, clutches, and small top-handle totes are your best BET.

11. Chop your hair.
Long hair drags petite girls down, while shorter hair does the opposite. For the wary: A wavy lob (long bob) is the best option—it shows off your shoulders and your neckline, which makes you look taller (plus, it’s so chic!).

Daring gals should go even shorter: a super-sleek chin-length bob or an elegant gamine-esque pixie.

12. Stick with skinny belts.
When it comes to belts, short girls should always opt for a skinny version—it’ll define your natural waist in the most flattering way possible, but won’t cut you in half the way a super-thick belt can, which causes you to look shorter.

13. Be mindful of proportion.
When you’re petite, it’s imperative to be sure all your clothes fit properly (a good tailor is key!). Wearing cropped skinny jeans? Make sure they’re not too cropped and that the hem hits the ankle area—small gals should avoid anything resembling capri pants, as they cut your leg awkwardly. With blazers and jackets, always make sure the seams sit perfectly at the bony tops of your shoulders and that the SLEEVES hit exactly at your wrist.

14. Wear V-necks.
Tops with plunging V necklines give the illusion of a longer, leaner torso, so keep that in mind when you’re SHOPPING for new tops this season!
