Hair is an important part of every day life. Women and men spend hours fussing over their hair. While women still pay more attention to their hair then men, this difference is beginning to shorten, leaving more men paying a lot of attention to their hair. This is why it is so important to find the right hair dresser to match your personality and hair needs.

Believe it or not, not all hair is created equal. Some hair is easy to care for, requiring a simple wash every few days, while other hair requires a lot of attention and prepping before anything can be done with it. No matter what kind of hair you have, it is important to find a hair dresser who has the experience and talent to handle you specific type of hair.

There are some qualities that a good hair dresser should have. They should have the talent to be able to style their own hair and style other people’s hair. This is a pre-requesite to styling hair, I’m sure of it. Then the right hair dresser should be able to talk to his or her clients. Not only should they engage in the daily gossip, but they should also be able to convey information about the requested hair process.

This communication between the client and the hair dresser is vital. This includes the r information the client needs to know for how to care for the hair, as well as if there is a hair style that would look better on the individual. This information should be paired with reasoning as to why the advice should be followed and what might happen if the advice is ignored.

Some people prefer going to the small businesses verses the large corporations and vice versa. Let me assure you, neither is better than the other. Each get very well qualified and talented hair dressers. The larger corporations make it easier to get appointments, and since they are so large, the prices are generally lower. However, it can be much more difficult to get a singular hair dresser over another if you develop a favorite hair dresser. The smaller businesses are often more experienced hair dressers, but they can cost more money, are more difficult to make appointments with, and since there is a limited number of hair dressers, the lack of new information and styles can be frustrating for the average client.

If you find a great hair dresser, be sure to tip him or her well, and return to them frequently. This can help to develop a relationship between the hair dresser and the client, resulting in better cuts overall. This is because the hair dresser learns what the client wants and how to best achieve the necessary look. The hair dresser is also able to learn the specifics of the client’s hair, knowing the best products to use and how to best approach the challenge. The client on the other hand receives a perfect cut and process more often. In addition, the client also finds it easier to communicate with the individual over time.

I remember when I was young, I had this pair of ripped up jeans. They earned every hole, every fray. I took them biking, hiking, swimming (accidentally) and camping. They were my favorite jeans. They were completely broken in and fit me like a glove. However, they were not worn for going shopping, not for going out to eat, or even hanging out at the movies. They were for rough and tumble fun that only a young tomboy can enjoy.

Now, I have to hunt to find a pair of jeans that do not look like the one’s that I had to finally get rid of because there was hardly any jean material on. The idea of jeans that do not look like they were worn out seems to be a thing of the past, and though I like the band, I really must blame Nirvana and the Grunge movement. Here is a hint though, Kurt Cobain is dead, and Nirvana is not making music anymore. The Grunge movement is now known as Garage music, and the whole thing is done. Get over it.

Sounds cold, I know, but really, it is so done, let us move on. The idea of buying a pair of ripped up jeans, with lacy patches, for $200 is ridiculous! If I wanted that, I’d go to the thrift store. I would not be looking in Gap for a pair of jeans that look like someone hit them with a truck. Come on, wake up and realize that you are spending a fortune to look like you don’t have any money. How fashionable and attractive is that?

If your jeans are so torn you have to wear leggings under them to avoid being charged with exposure, then it is time to get new jeans. If your jeans are stained, worn through before you have even worn them, think about it. Do you really want to look like you have had those jeans since childhood, or do you want to look like you could afford new and attractive jeans?

Need another reason to pass on those faded, ripped jeans? The faded marks are lighter than the jeans themselves, drawing more attention to that area. This can draw more attention to your butt and thighs, something most people try to avoid. Even those individuals who are tiny often look thicker there due to the fading in the jeans. The rips do the same thing, it looks like you are bursting through your jeans, not fitting them.

Blush is a difficult piece of make up to apply. A lot of people apply it way too thick, giving them a mask appearance. Luckily, there are some tips of the trade that can help people to put their blush on correctly, providing a warm glow, rather than a frightening mask.

• Avoid using a blush brush, instead use a light sponge. This can help to give you a more even look with your blush, and it can help to give you more control as to where, and how much, make you are using.
• If a blush brush is going to be used, be sure to tap it before applying it to your face. This will help to remove the excess blush powder and it will help you to avoid putting on more blush than needed.
• Smile. You see those apples of your cheeks when you smile? That is where the blush is supposed to go. Remember, the blush is supposed to bring attention to your smile and cheek bones, which is done when you smile.
• Use a neutral pink color. The harsher the color, the more fake it appears and this will give you a mask look. The neutral pink color is closer to your natural blushing color, and therefore can look fantastic.
• If you are in a hurry, pass on the blush. Instead, simply pinch your cheeks lightly to draw color to your cheeks, or smile. This causes a natural blush, and makes you look more approachable. Who knows, you may decide you do not need blush, as you get more attention for your beautiful smile.

Above all, do the make up that matches your skin tone and texture. All of the tips in the world for how to apply make up will not help you if you use the wrong colors and textures. Avoid sparkles, as they are most associated with children and avoid deep colors. The deep colors are used by performers because it is easier to see under the harsh stage lights, but is not needed by those otherwise. Instead, it is important to remember that the natural body has no harsh colorations, like red in it, and therefore it can look fake and forced when worn.

The lips are one of the most commonly complimented and noticed feature on a woman, besides her twins. There is a lot of emotion in the lips, the communicate thoughts, feelings and ideals without necessarily speaking a single word. They are also what words come out of, which draws the attention of the man who actually listens to what the woman says.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of women who do not know how to dress their lips up. They do all kinds of unbelievable actions that they think are attractive, but generally sends the wrong message to those around them. By dressing the lips correctly, they can remain happy and healthy. In addition, those who are just meeting the individual can get the right idea regarding the individual and maybe even find them more attractive.

1. Ditch the lip liner. Lining the lips used to be very hot and even necessary. It used to be that the lipstick would melt, and the lip liner would be used to keep the lipstick in place. However, we have new lipstick that does not melt or flake off the lips. There is no longer a need for lip liner. If you are going to use lip liner, use a small amount and keep it the same color and shade as your lipstick. Be sure to blend the line in very well.
2. Relax with the bright colors. Many people find the bright reds and corals too loud and too distracting. This is not a good thing. Instead, use deeper reds and more neutral colors on your lips. This will attract attention to your lips without them dominating your entire face. Think about it, no one ever wanted a head with just lips.
3. Slip the glitter. A lot of women still cling to their glitter. Relax, you can sparkle and shine without the glitter. Leave it at home, or better yet, get rid of it. The glitter lips are gone, thank heavens.
4. Too add a little shine, consider using a gloss. These glosses come in the tinted and non-tinted varieties. A little hint of color for work can be achieved with the tinted gloss, while the non-tinted gloss is ideal for when one is actually wearing lipstick.

We went over how to put on eye make up a while ago. We discussed the methods and the application of the make up itself. We even got some hints as to how to make your eyes look bigger, smokier, or more flirtatious. However, I think it is time to talk about color with your eye make up.

A lot of people are under the impression that they should wear eye shadow that matches their outfit. While this can bring some attention to your eyes, most often it is negative attention, rather than positive attention. This leaves most people looking like clowns, rather than the respectable, intelligent and beautiful women (and men) that they are.

Instead, think about wearing colors that compliment your eyes. Yeah, this will cut down on your color choices considerably, but it can provide the best look possible, and give you the results that you are looking for. Here is a basic little chart that I wrote up to help you find the right make up colors for you and your own, unique and beautiful eyes.

Eyes	Base Color	Highlight Color
Brown	Blue	Silver
Blue	Brown	Green
Green	Redish-Brown	Pink
Hazel	Blue-Green	Gold

Play around with the different hues, and find the perfect colors for your eyes. You can go darker in order to get that smoky look, or you can go lighter, more pastel to find that fun and flirtatious look. No matter what, make sure the colors work for your eyes, rather than following just your outfit.
