We dress differently in winter. We drive differently in winter. And its no secret that when the weather changes and the temperatures drop, women should treat their hair differently too. Women and girls with naturally curly hair, particularly multi-ethnic or biracial women and girls, must understand that as the seasons change, so too must their hair management techniques.
Since naturally curly hair is typically drier than straight hair, it requires moisturizing treatment more regularly. As the temperatures drop and the airs dries, moisturizing treatments should become more frequent. In fact, Mahisha Dellinger, founder of CURLS hair care products for multi-ethnic women and girls, recommends a deep treatment that includes heat at least once a week during the winter. Replenishing moisture in your thirsty locks is critical in maintaining healthy, manageable, frizz-free curls, Dellinger says.
She recommends using CURLS Ecstasy Hair Tea Deep Conditioner & Hair Therapy Wrap to give your naturally curly hair the ultimate moisturizing treatment. That and CURLS many other hair care products for women with naturally curly hair are available at www.curls.biz.
To avoid further dehydrating their hair, women should shampoo less often during the winter. Shampooing strips hair of the natural oils that the scalp creates, and since we produce less of it in the cold months, theres less to strip away. Instead, Dellinger suggests using a sulfate-free cleanser, which works more gently on your hair and scalp.
Women are also advised to consider different hairstyles during the winter months, perhaps a look that doesnt require heat-based styling. Curling irons cause dry hair, and Dellinger recommends wearing an occasional slicked-back bun, ponytails or chignons. When you do opt for a do that requires styling products, opt for rich creams in place of gels, and use as little as you can get by with.
The key is adding moisture, moist heat preferably. Dellingers favorite technique calls for warming up a little natural oil and applying directly to the scalp. Follow up with a little CURLS Ecstasy the size of a half-dollar for your entire head. Its an awesome leave-in during the winter months. A once-a-week treatment program, along with products like CURLS Curlicious Curls Cleansing Cream, and Dellingers tips on daily care will keep your hair beautiful, healthy and manageable until spring.

We all want to appear perfect in pictures; however taking into consideration some basics will help you achieve this.
First lets start with your make-up. A shiny face due to the skins oil secretions does not look nice and says a lot about your neatness. It looks even worse on a photograph because it reflects the light. To minimize the shine, avoid using makeup that shimmer or have a shiny texture on the face.
Use a matte finish foundation as base for your makeup and dab face powder on your skin to set the makeup and minimize the shine. Try to keep your colours not too bright or vivid, because they will look jarring on the photograph. Medium-colour eye shadow works for this purpose. To keep everything neat on your face, use longer-lasting, waterproof and smudge-proof cosmetics. Also, put lip balm or lip cream on before applying your lipstick, and opt for a cream-formula lipstick with a medium shade.
For you hair,the basic thing to do to achieve picture-perfect hair is to wash your hair and make sure it is clean before appearing for a photo shoot. If you are going to have it styled, make sure that the hairstyle complements your face, and avoid funky hairstyles that will make your head seem wider or smaller than it actually is.
Avoid pulling your hair back too much as well unless you wish to appear older on the photograph. Go for the natural look and try not to use styling products that will make your hair stand stiffly. If your hair is dyed or highlighted and you are going to retouch it before your photo shoot, choose a colour that looks nice against your complexion.
As regards your outfit, the outfit that you ought to wear for your photo shoot should complement your figure. Choose a number that enhances your figure, with a neckline that complements your face. Do not wear colours that do not suit you, and completely avoid patterns on your clothes that are too bold, too bright or too large.
These patterns are the ones that will float on the photograph, rather than your face and person. Never wear white for a photo shoot unless you are a bride on your wedding day, because white will make you look larger and will draw attention from your face. Also, do not be afraid to accessorize. A bit of jewellery and trinkets though not too much will lend style and elegance to your person on your photograph.
Another important point is your smile,pearly white teeth are much desired when smiling for the camera. Use teeth whitener or see your dentist for this. Also, when you smile for the camera, smile as if you are in love. Think of the person that you love before the camera clicks. Or if you do not have someone right now, think of something funny. Your smile and your eyes will glow in a lovely way on the photograph.
A picture paints a thousand words and a face can launch a thousand ships as literary adages would have it. Make yourself picture-perfect. It is not so hard to do and you will love the results.

Oily, normal and dry hair the three types of hair that we have. Oil glands are thick in oily hair type; oil glands are small and inactive in dry hair type and normal hair is devoid of any problem. So use the appropriate shampoo and conditioner for your hair. For dry hair conditioner is very much important and useful because it repairs the dryness of hair and brings back the smoothness of your hair. Always rinse your hair after applying shampoo and conditioner completely. If you do not do that it will give you an itchy scalp and dry hair. You can use warm water for shampooing but for conditioner it is better to use cold water. Massage the scalp gently and than rinse completely. Always massage with your finger tips but not with your nails. Do not use the conditioner in the hair roots as it can cause hair fall. Just apply it on your hair and after 3-4 minutes wash it thoroughly. Hot water and cold water help the scalp to be toned up.
After washing dry your hair with a soft towel. The final step is combing. Now comb your hair softly and gently. Make your hair free of tangles and frizzes. Brushing can destroy some hair follicles but combing is better than that. A wide toothed comb is good to use. Downward combing with a wide toothed comb is healthy.
For styling materials you can opt for styling gels, creams and mousses are just a few to name. Squeeze a small amount of these products on your palm and then use it as per your need. Trim your hair every six weeks. Trimming can help you to get rid of the split ends.
