5 STEPS TO SHINY HAIR

Score gorgeous, healthy hair all year long with these easy steps

Shine is the last word in glamour when styling your hair, but it doesn’t hinge solely on products or treatments. “You want to get the best out of your hair,” says Marcy Cona, global creative director of colour and style for Clairol. Contrary to popular belief, it starts in the shower and ends with an abbreviated product list. Read on for her top tips to achieve shiny hair naturally.

TIP #1: Start with a clean canvas:

“There’s been a trend in North America to shampoo less often, and this allows oils, styling products and pollution to dull hair,” Cona says. The fact is, shine reflects in clean hair, and shampoo is designed to not only cleanse but also improve the hair fibre. She advises women to step up the shampoo game, especially blondes, because the lighter the hair shade, the more difficult it is to reflect shine. Flaxen-haired beauties like Kirsten Dunst should consider shampooing every day, while brunettes can opt for alternating days, depending on their hair thickness.

TIP #2: Less is more
Cona says to ease up on the conditioner as it “weighs down hair and minimizes shine.” Longhaired gals should use no more than a quarter-sized amount, while Carey Mulligan types can do with just a dime. A good trick is to use your hands as tools by working the conditioner through them and then applying it underneath your hair and to the ends. By applying it underneath it will ensure proper absorption in the hair and scalp, whereas applying it on top will allow it only to penetrate the top layers, especially if your hair is porous. For DIY colour enthusiasts, Cona strongly advises using the in-box conditioner once a week to help close the hair cuticle and prevent colour fading.

TIP #3: Rinse and repeat

Make sure your hair is well rinsed. Low-intensity showerheads mean a lot of the time hair isn’t properly rinsed in the shower, and the result is a film that sits on the surface of hair and works against shine. Cona says to spend time rinsing your hair and to use the touch method to make sure it’s clean. By running your fingers through your hair as you rinse, you’ll have a better chance of getting all the product out and wind up with healthy shiny hair like Kristen Stewart

TIP #4: Style sparingly

“Women often feel they need to use a sequence of multiple products to style their hair, but most times all it takes is one product to support and add shine,” Cona says. For a Kim Kardashian shine, look for a product that also offers anti-frizz and smoothing benefits. Cona suggests applying the product first to your hands and then gently rolling them down the surface of your hair. That way the shine will sit on top of hair without weighing it down.

TIP #5: Colour yourself happy

“As a colourist this is my favourite tip: enjoy colour more often!” Cona says to avoid waiting too long between colourings because this is sure to make hair seem dull and lifeless. If Nicole Kidman’s recent return to her strawberry roots is any indication, colouring your hair in a timely fashion will give you a boost of shine that will last for weeks.

How to Make Your Breasts Beautiful with Exercises

As centuries pass by, the standards of a beautiful bosom have changed for a number of times, today an ideal bust is considered the one with a shape that remains the same no matter what movements your body performs. Hence, a beautiful bosom is considered the one with high, elastic breasts, regardless of their size; the main point of a beautiful bust is its tone. The perfect sport to increase the tone and improve the appearance of your breasts is swimming, the second alternative, in case there is no way to practice this sport, is to see a fitness trainer or do some simple but effective exercises, which will help you strengthen the pectoral muscles by yourself.

Exercise 1 for Beautiful Breasts. Pressure

Applying pressure is the simplest exercise for your bust. Stand tall facing the wall, lean against it with your hands. Press against the wall as hard as you can, as if you want to move it, keep on pushing for 10 seconds. Relax, shake your hands. Do a set of 10 repetitions.

Exercise 2 for Beautiful Breasts. Elbows Touch

Stand tall, bend your hands slightly in the elbows, keep your hands on your hips. Try to touch your elbows one to the other behind your back, do not do it in jerks, but rather do it slowly, stretching the muscles for 10-15 seconds. Repeat 8 times.

Exercise 3 for Beautiful Breasts. Palms Pressing

The next exercise for beautiful breasts is as follows: join your palms in front of the chest and press them hard against each other for 3-5 seconds. Repeat 8-10 times.

Exercise 4 for Beautiful Breasts. “Dry” Breast-Stroke

If you can not go to a swimming pool, do this effective exercise to improve the tone of your breast. Stand tall, nestle up to the wall, squeeze the pectoral muscles and make movements, as if you are breast-stroke swimming. Do a hundred slow strokes, keep your pectoral muscles tense all the time.

Finishing Exercises for Beautiful Breasts with Posture Exercise

The best way to finish this set of exercises for your bust is to do an exercise which targets your posture. Take a thick book, put it on your head and walk around the house for a few minutes like that, trying to keep it on your crown. This will help you relax the muscles effectively and give them the needed working tone. If you can not walk like that, at least try standing with the book on your head. You can hold on to a chair or the wall, but do not lean against the wall.
