THE CONTEMPORARY LIFT

From ducktails to King sized lifts the pompadour hairstyle has maintained its popularity throughout the ages due to its versatility and fine dapper look. The style not only suits all face shapes but even all ages and can be easily modernized. Justin Timberlake and David Beckman are both fans of the reworked, contemporary quiff. For a slick result spray volume enhancing  hairspray over the hair. It will hold even the most outrageous hairdo  in place.

 This  new trend this season has been refined where men are opting for contrast between the scalp exposing sides and back, and volume on top. Alternatively, if you want to stay true to the Rockabilly nature of this look ask your hairdresser to keep some length on the back and sides. If you have fine hair then try volume foams available anywhere. The product will enhance the hair without weighing it down and is perfect for those seeking an extra boost.

THE FADE OUT LOOK

The Fade is defined by the gradual increase of hair length from the neck to the crown. This is a  low maintenance  look but finding a skilled barber is essential for achieving this style. Comb over fades are gaining popularity as side parts make a comeback but by far the most popular fade of the season is the lower fade. The low fade removes weight but still retains the clean cut look. Men hairstylists are all fans of the fade but prefer the added length to play around with, creating a messed up look full of body and texture.

THE BUN

Controversial as it may be, the look is a sure head turner. If you prefer longer locks then don’t fret because the bun look is as easy to pull as it is to make. The style is bohemian and the less effort you put into this look the sexier it is. Men with both straight and curly hair can wear this look; however, if you prefer a smoother finish start by passing a gel styler through your hair first. This style has been on the radar for a while now so if you are already a top knot-devotee then perhaps the undercut/knot fusion is the change you need this season.

THE UNDERCUT

This edgy alternative is to lose the bun and chosen as an undercut while still keeping length on top. This look takes its roots from the pomp poof but the lift is quite subtle compared to its traditional brother. To keep everything in its place try cream wax products  to mould the lengthy ends into your desired shape.

Post Monsoon Skin Care

Following a set regime is very important. And your basic “cleansing toning moisturizing” routine will not do either. Restoring rain affected skin to its original glow and clarity is no mean feat and it requires some additional steps in your daily regimen.

Start off by carefully selecting a non-comedogenic cleanser for your face (one that suits your specific skin type). After washing your face with the cleanser, apply toner for restoring the PH balance. Next comes a treatment cream/gel, like Sebonac Gel, if you have pimple-prone skin or the rains have left you with regular break-outs. Follow it up with sunscreen during daytime, and under-eye gel and repair-action night cream before bedtime. Exfoliate your skin twice a week, getting rid of all the blackheads and other pore blockages using a gentle exfoliator. You should also never skip out on sunscreen or night cream, because they help preserve your glow and youthfulness.

Once a week, you should also apply restorative home-made masks, like these.

Eating lots of leafy greens and fresh fruits and including loads of fluids in your daily diet will make a huge difference, giving you an all over healthy glow and lustrous hair.

Post Monsoon Hair Care

Don’t worry too much if the monsoon has taken a toll on your locks, causing dryness and hairfall and such. Some care is all you need to restore the health of your mane.

After washing and before styling, if any, take a few drops of some lightweight hair oil (we recommend Conatural’s Argan Oil) and smooth into your locks, taking care to focus more on the ends at first and massage any remainder into your scalp. Use this as you would a serum or leave-in conditioner. Not only will it minimize frizz, it will nourish and moisturise your hair on-the-go.

An oil massage once or twice a week can do wonders for transforming your hair and keeping it manageable. For those experiencing excessive hair fall, apply slightly warm oil on the roots and massage thoroughly for added blood circulation in the scalp. All oil treatments are additionally effective if you wrap a hot, damp towel around your hair once you’ve applied the oil. Doing this will repair damaged hair plus protect hair from then on.

The monsoon weather already is notorious for aggravating hair fall. Combing your hair once it’s wet causes more hair to fall out since the hair is weaker and more susceptible to damage when wet. Wait till hair is dry or even slightly damp and then have a go with a wide toothed comb. Keeping the curls? Don’t comb your hair at all.

Aloe vera loves your hair in so many ways. It is nourishing and healing inside and out, so when applied on the hair in the form of a hair mask, it rejuvenates and heals damaged follicles. After the monsoon, it also helps to combat any infection causing bacteria around your scalp and reduces any itching you may have had during the damp and rainy monsoon months. Similarly, pureed neem leaves and yogurt are also good options for nourishing hair masks that keep any itchiness and infections of the scalp at bay and the yogurt in protein will also make hair stronger.

Steer clear of processed and unnatural foods and instead opt for fruits and veggies, lean proteins and healthy complex carbs. Adequate protein intake is particularly important when it comes to healthy hair, so indulge in some protein rich foods like fish, yogurt, nuts, sprouts, etc.

He explained, “I created a deep side part and then blow-dried the hair with Redken’s Guts 10 to create a slight peak in the front and long and straight in the back, so it’s a bit boy in the front and girl in the back.”

6. As ever, the beauty at Dolce&Gabbana was an elegant affair. The makeup look was about luminous skin, soft feline eyes and plump lips, which showcased the full range of new Dolce Matte Rosa Lipsticks. The messy updos were adorned with headscarves, headbands or opulent crows. Stunning.

But when you start losing more than that, it’s time for you to take some action so it doesn’t progress to baldness or bald spots. Many readily available ingredients can be used to treat hair loss at home.

1. One among effective ways is using fenugreek / methi for hair loss. Seeds of fenugreek consist of rich hormone antecedents that help in hair growth and repairs hair follicles. These also consist of nicotinic acid and proteins strengthen the hair growth. How to use fenugreek seeds for hair?

Follow it for month to see best results.

2. Pure aloe gel or aloe juice can be applied directly to the scalp. This can treat hair loss, which is caused due to dry or infected scalp. After massaging the scalp with juice or gel, wait for a few hours and wash it away with lukewarm water. Use of aloe vera with triphala powder for 3-6 months also treats hair loss.

3. Neem is a plant, which is ornamented with all the essential qualities. It is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-diabetic, sedative, and antiseptic in nature. It is not only useful in diseases but is also an excellent home remedy for hair loss. Boil leaves of neem in water until the water remains half. Let it cool and wash your hair once in a week with this water.

4. Boil some dried amla in coconut oil till the oil gets black. Massaging the scalp with this oil will prove to be very effective. Amla can also be used alternatively by making its paste with shikakai. Apply the thick paste and wash it after a few minutes. Avoid shikakai if you have dry hair.

5. Both onion and garlic are a rich source of sulphur, and they help in the growth of hair. To apply onion, you need to chop it finely and extract out the juice. Massage the scalp well with this juice and wash off with a mild shampoo. Onion can also be used with honey as a hair mask. Garlic can be applied on the scalp by boiling it with coconut oil. Massage the scalp with this potion, two to three times a week, for best results.

6. Licorice root is another herb that prevents hair loss and further damage to the hair.

Add one tablespoon of ground licorice root to one cup milk with a quarter teaspoon saffron. Mix it thoroughly. Apply the paste on bald patches at bedtime and leave it on overnight. In the morning, wash your hair. Follow this remedy once or twice a week.

7. The safest step that you can take to reduce hair loss is to massage your scalp with appropriate hair oil. Proper hair and scalp massage will increase blood flow to the hair follicles, condition the scalp, and enhance the strength of your hair’s roots.

Frizzy hair can look dull and be very difficult to style. The main cause of frizzy hair is lack of moisture. The cuticle layers on hair strands need moisture to make them smooth. Some other contributing factors are extreme humidity, regular use of a blow dryer, swimming in chlorinated water, certain chemicals in hair care products and using the wrong products for your hair type.

We listed down the best home care remedies for taming out-of-control frizz and make your locks silky, smooth and bouncy again!

1. Hot Oil Massage

Yes you may have heard a lot about it; but did you implement it in proper ways?

There is no big science behind this remedy if you haven’t known how to do it at home. First off, take some pure extra virgin oil in a pot and warm it for 2-4 minutes. Then let it cool down slightly at room temperature so that it becomes tolerable on your scalp. Adding 2 tablespoons of honey can add extra benefit because it will help to smooth the hair fiber. Then apply this oil and gently massage it on your scalp and root to top. Take a plastic bag or hot towel and wrap your head with covering hair so that it can hold the moisture. Now let it stay for 1 hour and shampoo your hair as usual. And finally see the magic of one of the oldies but goody home remedies for frizzy hair.

You can also apply coconut oil, castor oil, almond oil or rosemary oil and follow the same process.

2. Carbonated Water

Carbonated water (such as club soda, soda water or sparkling water) is one of the best options for treating frizzy hair at home. Carbonated water is made by using pressure to dissolve carbon dioxide gas in water. This water has low pH levels that help fight frizz caused by humidity.

Simply rinse your hair with carbonated water after each regular shampooing. This will soothe and tame the frizz, but you need to follow this remedy regularly for quite some time.

3. Beer

Beer is a great option for restoring moisture in your hair. It also has nutrients, minerals, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants that your hair needs. Use darker beers for best results.

Simply coat your hair with beer, allow it to sit for a few minutes and then rinse it out with cold water. Do this once every two weeks.
Another option is to mix equal amounts of beer, shampoo and conditioner. Apply this solution on your hair. Now brush your hair to create tension. Leave it on for a few minutes and then rinse your thoroughly with cold water.
Use beer on your hair once every two weeks.

Note: Cold water is believed to help close the hair cuticles, which makes it less susceptible to frizz, and adds shine.

4. Avocado

An avocado-based hair mask is a highly effective remedy to control frizzy hair. The high amount of vitamin E present in avocado helps tame the frizz. Apart from the amazing hydrating benefit, avocado also has the good kind of fatty acids that help soothe frizzy and unruly hair.

Mash one ripe avocado, add a little olive oil and mix it well. Shampoo your hair and then apply the mixture throughout your hair. Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour, and then rinse it out with cold water. You can then condition your hair to get rid of the avocado scent.
You can also mash an avocado and mix it with curd or mayonnaise to make a smooth paste. Use this as a hair mask once or twice every week to prevent dryness and condition your hair.

5. Bananas

Bananas are great for hair conditioning because they are rich in natural oils, potassium, carbohydrates and vitamins. All these ingredients lock in moisture to soften and add shine to your hair and help prevent and repair split ends.

Mash one ripe banana with a fork until there are no lumps. Mix in one-fourth cup of yogurt. Then add two tablespoons each of honey and olive oil. Apply the mask all over your hair and scalp. Put a shower cap over your hair and leave it on for 30 minutes to an hour. Rinse your hair and then shampoo and condition as usual. Do this once a week.

6. Egg and Mayo

Mix together one egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of Mayo (not the eggless kind). Add one tablespoon each of olive oil and honey for extra nourishment! Apply all over your locks working from the scalp toward the ends. Let it sit for an hour before washing off and shampooing with cold water.

This treatment will leave your hair shiny and ultra smooth.

PLEASE NOTE – do not use any home remedy if you are allergic to any one of the ingredients.

1. Dewy Matte Faces – The no-make-up look continues to reign this season, this time with a play on textures. Matte faces had an ethereal glow, a classic trick of the correct highlighter that gave the models dewy-finished skin. Most designers stuck to neutrals, and for some, the cheeks radiated a very natural post-workout flush. Here’s a step by step guide to getting the perfect dewy matte look!

• Apply foundation in a color that’s the closest match to your skin tone.
• Apply concealer to cover any discoloration or shadows on the skin.
• Using a flat-topped, full circular brush in circular motions, buff the foundation to get a well polished look.
• Dab the center of the face using M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in a shade that matches your skin tone for a natural satin finish.
• For a natural flush on the cheeks, use a cream blush in warm peach on the apple of the cheeks.
• Then, use a cream color base on the eyelid in a natural shade, and lightly powder it. Bobbi Brown’s malted shade of Long-Wear Cream Shadow works well as a natural base colour on Indian skin.
• Curl the lashes and apply some mascara to define the lashes.
• Groom the brows with an eyebrow pencil in a shade that exactly compliments your natural hair.

2. Sculpted Lips – Chiseled, sharp shaped lips were created by Lakmé make-up expert Natasha Nischole and her team of artists. This trend was not only spotted on the runway at Anamika Khanna’s show, but was also a favorite for front row celebrities like Deepika Padukone, who sported perfectly sculpted, deep burgundy lips, while watching Sabyasachi’s opening show.

3. Matte Nude Pouts – Velvety nudes in peaches and soft creams were a hit on and off the runway–at shows like Manish Malhotra and on front-rowers like Neha Dhupia.

4. Deep Darks on the Lips – On one hand there were nudes, on the other, deep, dark burgundys, plums, reds and the color of the year, Marsala at Tarun Tahiliani and Anamika Khanna.

5. Big Lashes – Mascara was layered, multiple times on the lashes, to give the models a beaming face.

Loud eyelashes at Krishna Mehta.

6. Structured Updo’s and Center Parts – Elegant updos—twisted, pinned and knotted—were seen at Krishna Mehta’s show among others. The middle-part, seen at Huemn, Sabyasachi and others, rules this summer – for ponytails, straight hair, top knots – it’s the way to go for that perfect summer do.

You can easily find all the ingredients in your kitchen itself. Convenient, eh!

Separate 1 egg yolk in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (yes, mayo! And not the egg-less sort; we need the real deal!) to it. Finally, add 1 tablespoon honey and 2 tablespoon hot olive oil to the egg-mayo mix. Blend all items together so that no lumps remain. Apply all over scalp and hair (working downwards from the roots to tips).

Keep for an hour and wash off with cool water. You might have to shampoo twice to get rid of the egg-mayo smell. Towel-dry hair after.

We bet you won’t tire of running your fingers through your newly soft and glossy tresses – they’ll be so frizz-free and manageable!

Note: Do not try the hair mask if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.  

1.  Knot your everyday basic ponytail! Apply mousse or serum to get rid of the frizz and make hair manageable. Then carefully tie your hair into the basic double knot. Secure with a hair tie in a way that the hair tie is hidden beneath the knot. There you have it – your not so basic side ponytail!

2. The milkmaid braid – Braid two sections of your hair then place your left braid over your head and secure the edge to the right side of your head with bobby pins. Do the same on your right braid. Voila! Your Phoebe Buffay inspired hairstyle is pretty and easy!

3. The criss-cross bun – The chic bun just got chicer! Roll upper half of your hair into a bun. Divide lower hair into two. Cross the right part under the bun and wrap the hair around it and secure with a bobby pin or two. Do the same with the left part.

4. The twisted side ponytail – Start twisting pieces of hair together, from the back of your ear moving toward the other side. Secure in a side ponytail with a hair tie. Wrap a small piece of hair over the the hair tie until it’s very small and can be tucked under the ponytail with a bobby pin.

5. A tousled braid is oh-so-trendy and super easy to do. Simply sweep your hair back and weave a low, loose braid—don’t worry if pieces fall out along the way. Dab on a tinted lip gloss and you’re good to go!

6. We love braids of all varieties, but this little hairline braid is a quick way to get cute in a hurry. Just french braid along the hairline and pin it up  behind your ear!

7. Speaking of gorgeous up-dos that don’t require hours of hard work- have you tried scarves? There are dozens of interesting ways to tie a scarf and create a truly magnificent hairstyle even on a bad hair day! Wrap it around like a headband to cover up the fact that you’ve neglected to wash your hair, braid it with your hair on days when you don’t want to bother with voluminizing products or wrap it like a turban in case your hair is a total mess and you don’t have a minute to waste on styling it.

8. A glamorous, slightly messy ponytail is one of those easy hairstyles that certainly won’t require more than five minutes of your time and will make you look super-chic. So, whenever your hair declares a war, just sweep it in a ponytail leaving one tiny section out, tease the base of the ponytail and wrap the section you’ve left out to hide the band.

9. Spice up the classic “half up half down” hairdo by making a dainty little braid down the middle on the backside of your head.

10. The braid in braid – We’re going to bet that you’ve already mastered the standard three-strand braid. This “braid in braid” hairstyle is so easy that you’ll have time to spare in your regular “getting ready” AM routine. All you have to do is divide your hair into three even parts, then braid the middle section. After that, just braid all your hair together the regular way. We love the texture in the final look.

11. The knotted and wrapped bun – Here’s another romantic updo that is — honest-to-goodness — lovely enough for a big, formal event. It’s also super pretty for more casual shindigs, so don’t hold back. All you have to do is brush out your hair, divide it into two even sections and then tie the sections into a knot. Next, wrap each section of hair around the knot and pin into place.

12. Messy chignon – So you know how, when you’re in a rush, you pull your hair back and loop it back into the ponytail? That’s kind of what this hairstyle is, but more finessed. All you have to do is gather hair into a low ponytail and then loop it into a low chignon bun with some hair peeking out. Next, pull that excess hair around the elastic, wrap it around the base and secure. Finally, pull out little pieces of hair at your discretion and march yourself right out the door.

13. Sometimes, all you need to do is put a bow on it! This pretty bow hairstyle is very easy if you know how to tie a simple bow knot.
Just take two small sections of hair (one from each side) and tie them together in a neat bow!

14. The braided bun appears a lot more complicated than it really is, and it’s a great solution to bad hair days.
Pull hair back into a low side ponytail just behind your ear and secure with an elastic.
Separate a 2-inch-wide section from the ponytail and braid it.
Pull the braid aside and wind the rest of the ponytail around its base. Anchor with hairpins.
Wrap the braid around the bun and pin the ends into the underside.

15. The rope twist braid is a super easy, super fast and super pretty hairstyle that will afford you some extra time for sleeping in. This two strand braid is created by twisting your hair in one direction, then wrapping the two sections together in the opposite directing. The contrast in directions forms a strong braid that can be worn as a ponytail style, or twisted around into buns or chignons.

Finally, drink plenty of water so that you keep hydrated at all times!
