Tousled waves hairstyle


Ditch the curling iron, and instead spritz your hair with a setting spray (if hair is thick or wavy) or thickening spray (if it's fine). Dry it until it's only slightly damp, then part your hair in the middle all the way back to the nape of your neck.

Gather one of the two sections of hair at ear level, twirl it around on itself to form a loose bun, and pin it behind your ear. Repeat on the other side. Blast your whole head with a diffuser for five minutes, leave the buns in for another 10 to 15 minutes, then take them out and shake everything out with your fingers.

Braids: Long and Elegant

Hairstyles - pay attention to style factors

by Louise Jones

Your hairdo will reflect who you are and what you think of yourselves. Therefore it is just one of the important things you should consider in building your image.

Making a decision to follow the same hairstyle that your favorite celebrity is wearing might be frustrating. Always remember that your hairstyle must suit your face and personality. So, before you take that drastic measure and cut your hair ten inches, change your hair color to sneaky salmon, or start to loc your hair think over it twice.

Hairstyle is based on several factors. A growing number of men and women both are concerned about how their total looks. They are concerned about every factor that rules their overall appearance and so they go to great lengths to get it to look a certain way. There are people simply do not other about these different and important factors while there are still others who actually have proper knowledge about the relation of the different hairstyles and their looks. So the key to getting a good hairstyle is to concentrate on all the factors that directly and indirectly govern your hairstyle.

The different factors are your sex, age, profession, climate of the place, occasion and your hair quality, length, texture and color. Hairstyle changes with your age. You cannot follow the same hairstyles of 20's in your 70's. There are different hairstyles for different age people. Next there are different hairstyles for men and women. There are also hairstyles that can be followed by both the sex. It depends on you what you follow. Your profession is also a very important factor when choosing your hairstyle. Surely enough, a funky hairstyle will not suit your "corporate" profession. Make yourself outstanding with your right choice of hairstyle. There are some styles that goes well with the certain climate while others do not. While many would think how a climate can affect a hairstyle- it is not something weird that I am writing here but it do happens. Let me explain it to you- your hair swells and expands when it is wet. It behaves in the same way in a humid climate too, where the air is full of moisture. Humidity makes hair fluffy and, if your hair is prone to curling, it will cause frizz. There are different hairstyles for different events. Hair do for wedding will obviously look out of place in an office party.

Lastly is your hair with which the style goes. For a particular hairstyle every point like quality, length, texture and color are considered to make it successful. If you are among those who give priority to hairstyling then it will be good for you to consult with a trained, professional stylist. There is a lot of difference between hair cutting and hair styling. You will come across a lot of people out there who cut hair and are very good at it, but not all of them can tell you the right style for your hair type and lifestyle.

Wonderful Ideas For Your Wedding Hairstyle


The wedding hairstyle that you choose should complement your face, your veil and your dream wedding dress.

The style must suit your physique, emphasize your good features and at the same time hide your weak ones.

Here are some ideas for different types of hair:

1. Wedding hairdos should emphasize your neck. Try a simple French twist or go for an elegant group of ringlets.

2. If you have long hair, leave it loose; tangle it with fabric or beads that match your wedding dress.

3. Hair brushed back or up illustrates more of your face and shape, and is a wonderful style for evening or formal weddings.

4. Leaving your hair loose gives a more informal look and is well suited for outdoor, informal and daytime weddings.

5. Medium-length hair also has multiple styles as long hair. You can add curls, brush them loosely down, make them straight, or tuck it behind your ears.

6. Brides with short hair can benefit from thick and long wedding day hairstyles. There is a wide variety of hair extensions and clip-on hairpieces in various colors and styles to add chic to your hair.

7. There are also various options for short hair, from sleek to curly styles. Hair clips, tiaras, and decorative bobby pins all look dazzling when you wear them with short hair.

8. You also can wear bangs in various ways such as fringy, textured, soft or angled. If you have never worn bangs, try them out in advance.

Comfortable Wedding Attire for the Bride

by Bridget Mora

You want to look your best on your wedding day. That is not in question. And yet, the type of attire that brides usually wear can often be as uncomfortable as they are beautiful. Is it possible to find wedding attire that is both gorgeous and comfortable enough to happily wear all day? Yes!

The wedding gown is the most important part of the bridal ensemble, and this is the one piece that will play the biggest role in your comfort level throughout the day. I remember reading that when Melania Knauss married Donald Trump, her couture wedding gown weighed something like fifty pounds! Can you imagine what it would be like to drag a fifty pound dress around on your body for an entire day? This just serves to illustrate one of the first principles when shopping for a comfy wedding gown: go for one that is lightweight. A gown can be slender and wispy, made from a few yards of chiffon. But you can also have a full and traditional dress that is light, as long as you choose your materials carefully. The lightest options for a full skirt are tulle, organza, and organdy. Satin, especially a polyester satin, will weigh you down the most.

The cut of the bridal gown is another factor in how it will feel to wear. If comfort is a priority for you, avoid a strapless gown which requires a very snug fit to stay up. You would be amazed at the difference it can make to add a little pair of spaghetti straps to a strapless gown. With your shoulders helping to support the dress, it no longer has to fit so snugly. This is not to say that the dress needs to look loose or baggy. A wedding dress with straps can look like it fits as close to the body as a strapless dress, but you will be able to take a deep breath.

What goes on under the gown also matters. If the gown you have chosen comes with a massive petticoat built in, you can always ask your seamstress to remove some of the layers of netting, or even the entire crinoline. When your preference is to keep the crinoline, take a look at how it is made; it should be lined with a soft fabric to prevent the itchy netting from scratching your legs all day.

The accessories that you select will also play a big role in your level of comfort on your wedding day. Far and away the biggest difference maker will be your shoes. Yes, those towering designer stilettos are fabulous, but do you really think that your feet will thank you for choosing them? Especially by the end of the day, you want to be certain that your feet will still be feeling good enough to dance all night. What good does it do you to have gorgeous shoes if they kill your feet so much that you have to spend half the night sitting down or take them off? A better option is to find a really pretty pair of dressy flats or even a pair of ballet slippers. If you simply must wear high heels, buy them a little bit loose, and wear an insert in them for the ceremony; as your feet swell during the reception, you can remove the insert to give you more space.

Even things like your hairstyle and choosing custom bridal jewelry will affect your comfort. Bridal jewelry that is custom made to your specifications can be sized to fit you just right so that you will not be bothered by a too-tight necklace or bracelet digging into your skin. As for your hairstyle, if you are considering wearing all of your hair up, be sure to try out the style for an entire day at some point before the wedding. Brides who have a lot of long heavy hair may find that having it all piled up on top of their heads can actually cause headaches, as can styles that are pulled too tightly. A half up style may be more comfortable for your wedding.

With these tips in mind, you will find it easier to find the bridal gown, accessories, and even the hairstyle that will maximize your comfort. After all, when you feel great, you will look your most beautiful!

Tipping at Your Wedding

by Jason Hennessey

So your wedding is just around the corner and your mind is everywhere. From planning to budgetary considerations to guest invitations to gifts and wedding favors, all this are all yours to handle. But you can always enlist the services of a professional wedding planner to help you hack through some of the stuff. Your wedding definitely involves a lot of people and at some point in time you will have to show some kind of gratitude or thank you to those whose services are invaluable to the success of the day. But to whom do you tip and to whom do you not?

Tipping is a common wedding practice and tips are a necessary priority in your budgetary allocations. Tipping is most common when you have chosen to have a private company be in charge of reception conveniences like catering, parking for vehicles, music and entertainment and the like, or when you are using hotel facilities should you choose to hold the reception in a hotel. Though tipping is an act of absolute voluntary, it is deeply embedded in wedding ceremony culture that wedding vendors more often than not expecting it.

But in your wedding the cardinal rule is that you call the shots. It is only you who can decide whether or not to tip or not. And you also get to choose who to tip and who not to. Remember to ascertain whether the wedding company is including vendor charges in the agreement you sign for their services. This is to guard against double tipping and thus stretching your budget. And always give your tips at the conclusion of the reception. This will give you a clear view of who did what and then you can tip them accordingly and proportionately. Below are some the people that you consider for tipping on your big day.

The music DJ plays an important part in the entertainment of your guests. You tip the DJ if he is an employee of a company providing for the entertainment. But if he is the owner there is no need because you pay him the contractual fee. Other people that you consider for tipping are bartenders, hair makeup and stylists, restroom attendants, waiting staff, drivers, and valet parking attendants among others. Some people go as far as tipping photographers and wedding planners and coordinators.

These are people that we tend to look down upon but the truth of the matter is that without them you can say goodbye to that perfect wedding that you have always envisioned. But no one should hold you hostage on who to tip and the amount to give. Carefully put tips in envelopes for each individual and have them delivered personally to them. Evaluate the services of each of them and the amount of cash you give to them should correspond to the work that you see them do. Tipping should be a discreet voluntary act and you should never take it as a debt you owe someone, just give it in a warm respectful manner and let it be clear that it is just a way of saying thank you.

Taraji Henson's Effortless 'Do

Styled to perfection - wedding dress solutions

by Mike Joned

Your wedding dress is probably the most important fashion item you will every buy. No pressure to get it right then! Here are a few tips to help you choose the dress of your dreams.
Is it me?

First and foremost is to be true to yourself. Choose something that is really 'you'. Wearing something that does not feel right means you will not feel comfortable in your own skin. And throughout your wedding day, you will need to feel totally at ease in order for you to radiate confidence.

Big bust?

Your groom loves your assets. But he is not marrying them alone! Everyone wants a big bust these days, and many are prepared to go under the knife to get it. But sometimes, you can have too much of a good thing.

If you have a large bust, there are styles that can minimise your assets so they work for you, as opposed to against you. Take the square neckline, for instance. When teamed with supportive straps, the look is perfect for heavy boobs. In fact, this is a shape that flatters most body shapes.

Also consider off the shoulder styles if your boobs are more than ample. However, this look is not so successful if you have broad shoulders, since off the shoulder dresses tend to emphasise width. If your shoulders are a little on the wide side, consider a strapless style instead.

Sweetheart necklines are literally shaped like the top of a heart. This cut accentuates the decolletage and, as such, flatters the wearer.

Scoop shaped necklines suit practically everyone. Particularly successful at minimising the bust, they prove a canny choice if your boobs are hell bent on stealing your limelight.

Flat as the proverbial pancake?

Fear not. If your chest is a tad too flat for your liking, then try a boat neckline. This will work wonders if it incorporates added detail at the shoulders, because such detail will detract the gaze from your chest.

An effective trick to add substance to a flat chest, is to wear a shrug with a fabulous fastening. Exquisite embellishment will add bulk as well as interest.

A halter neck style is also an excellent choice for flat-chested brides. What's more, it is a young, sexy look with more than a hint of glamour.

If you are tall, you might crave the diaphanous look. Statuesque brides look a million dollars in a sheath dress - but not so good if their groom is shorter. Indeed, considering the proportions of your groom is a wise move when it comes to purchasing your wedding dress.

Small but perfectly formed

Petite brides need to be aware of their proportions, and choose their dresses accordingly. Don't go for big style statements if they threaten to overwhelm your form, but opt for details that flatter your figure without stealing the show.

Narrow shoulders do not tend to suit a halter neck, as this style can emphasises the negative.

Bony collarbones? Then a high necked dress can disguise them in an instant. Go for a sheer fabri c, such as lace or chiffon, from the bust upwards. This will take the weight out of the look. Short necks do not tend to suit solid high necklines.

Emphasising the positive and eliminating the negative

Perhaps you are a pilates devotee, and proud of your well toned arms. If you want to emphasise your lack of extraneous flesh, then a strappy design is for you. Strappy gowns work well at less formal beach ceremonies, too.

If you have bingo wings or chunky arms, consider gowns with beautiful sleeve detail (lace is a wonderful choice) or drape a sheer shrug around your shoulders. These draw the attention away from your arms with dramatic results.

Long necks are emphasised by a wide soft scoop neckline that skims the top of the shoulders. If you have a short neck, give yourself extra height with a stunning tiara or a hair style that creates height.

An array of wedding presents, gifts and gift ideas such as flower arrangements can be found at the Gift Experience, where every wedding gift is catered for with style and professionalism.
