July
Deep condition your hair. Moisturize your hair by putting a mask into your wet hair. Once done, cover it with warm towel and wait for about 20-minute before you rinse it with cool water.

August
Visit your dentist and get a teeth treatment for a brighter smile after the check-up. Do this at least once every six months.



September
Change your lipstick into a richer shade. Research shows that deep and warm colors look better in cool weather because your facial skin tends to get paler and you tend to wear darker shade of clothes.

November
Re-check the shade of your concealer. Be aware that as your skin gets a touch of color, there is a need for a one-shade darker concealer.

December
This is the right time to clean your make-up pouch. Toss out a six-month old mascara, foundations, concealers and a one-year old lipstick, or anything that already have unpleasant smell.

5 Habits You Do That Damages Your Hair




Hair, as they say, is a woman's crowning glory. What if there's nothing to be glorified with your hair because it's badly damaged - dull, dry and frizzy. You often ask yourself "why?"

Here are some of the possible habits or reasons you are unaware you do that damages that "crowning glory." Also provided are the tips and solution to such bad hair days.

1. Exposure to hair chemicals. 
Your hair is a fiber protected by a cuticle. When this cuticle gets damage because of some chemicals applied to the hair, the inner fiber gets affected. Regular visits to salon that offer hair treatment services including perming and bleaching de-structure your hair. It also removes the protein bonds of your hair that makes it strong and shiny.

2. Use of heat for hair styling.
Daily exposure of the hair to heat (e.g. hair dryers and flat or curling irons) makes the hair cuticle cracks which removes its moisture. As a result, the hair becomes dry and brittle. If this case is unavoidable, your option is to use heat protectant products such as serums and leave-on conditioners as a protective barrier from the heat.

3. Use of wrong combs.
There are different combs that varies in shapes and sizes. Each has its proper usage, take advantage of it. For example, boar-bristle brushes for fine to medium haired women and brushes with spaced bristles with a coated tips for thick or curly haired girls. Another tip is the use of wide-toothed comb for after shower hair.

4. Frequency of washing your hair.
You need to shampoo your hair clean your scalp and oil build-up. But too much of it could remove the hair moisture which will make it dry and dull. Avoid using shampoo everyday, do it every other day, especially if yours is on the dry type.

5. Improper hairstyling.
You also need to mind the way you style your hair, the hair accessories you used in styling like ponytails. Too tight hair styles may damage or break the strands of your hair. You better keep it loose or lay it down sometime to avoid further damage.
