Hair loss

Why Hair loss

A number of things can cause excessive hair loss. For example, about 3 or 4 months after an illness or a major surgery, you may suddenly lose a large amount of hair. This hair loss is related to the stress of the illness and is temporary.

Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.

Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones. During pregnancy, high levels of certain hormones cause the body to keep hair that would normally fall out. When the hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels, that hair falls out and the normal cycle of growth and loss starts again.

Some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking the medicine. Medicines that can cause hair loss include blood thinners (also called anticoagulants), medicines used for gout, medicines used in chemotherapy to treat cancer, vitamin A (if too much is taken), birth control pills and antidepressants.

Certain infections can cause hair loss. Fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair loss in children. The infection is easily treated with antifungal medicines.

Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Since hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, it is important to find the cause so that it can be treated.

Skin type

Normal skin
• Produces just the right amount of oil (sebum)
• Does not feel oily or dry under usual circumstances, but can be a little dry on cheeks or slightly oily in the T-zone on occasion
• Does not have prominent pores
• Experiences the occasional blemish or blackhead

Dry skin
• Does not produce enough natural oil (sebum) to keep itself soft, comfortable and supple
• Is not prone to shine and remains matte even in the T-zone
• Can experience flakiness, 'peeling' and tightness
• Has tiny, almost imperceptible pores
• May have fine dehydration lines
• More likely to be seen in mature skin as sebum production slows with age

Combination skin
• Producing varying amounts of oil (sebum) in different areas, this skin type is characterised by patchiness. It's possible to be oily in some areas (particularly the T-zone) but normal or dry in others
• Has most visible pores in the T-zone
• Is prone to oily shine, though not necessarily all over the face

Oily skin
• Produces more oil (sebum) than it needs to stay healthy
• May be prone to blemishes, blackheads and breakouts
• Is often shiny all over by lunchtime
• Has larger, visible pores all over

Sensitive skin
A true sensitive skin is relatively uncommon and is part of the genetic make up. People with this skin type are often allergy prone, have a fairer, thinner skin and usually have blonde or red hair.
• Symptoms include dryness, itching, burning, redness, 'flare ups' and stinging• Triggers can include climatic conditions, diet, hormones, stress or cosmetic products and ingredients
• May become more prone to reaction with age
• Sensitive skin is genetically programmed and, though reactions can be managed, sensitive skin will be sensitive for life

How to apply nice eye Shadow

Rounded Eye Shadow Application

- Highlighter eye shadow across the eyelid, from the lash line to slightly beyond the crease, and all the way to the eyebrow.
- Mid tone eye shadow to the eyelid and smudge under the bottom eyelashes.
- Accent eye shadow in the wedge at the outer corner of the eye and blend well.
- Line upper and lower lashes with eyeliner pencil.

Eyebrow shape for your face.

Angular shape

The angular shape is appropriate for those with round face. You can enhance this shape with shading and contouring of the eye makeup for elegance.

Rounded shape

The rounded shape is suitable for women with large eyes or wide forehead. The rounded eyebrows can enhance the eyes. The eyebrow should follow the frontal bone and be shaped to a taper.

Arched shape

The arced shape is very flattering for most women. It gives width and expression to the eye. It opens the eyes and help balance a prominent nose or a large mouth.

Low arched shape

The low arched shape works well for those with small forehead by giving the illusion of more length.
- place an orange stick in a straight line from the side of the nose to the liner corner of the eye; this is where the eyebrow should begin
- place an orange stick from the side of the nose to the outer corner of the eye; this is where the brow should end.

We know that creating the most flattering shape and arch of your eyebrows may be really hard, so go to a beautician. Once you get the perfect line and shape you want you will be able to maintain them by yourself.

high forehead - the arch of the eyebrow should be slightly elevated to create the illusion of a lower forehead
low forehead - the arch should be as low as possible to give more height to the forehead
wide set eyes - leave the eyebrows unplucked on the inner corners. You can extend the inner corners using eyebrow pencil.
close set eyes - if you want to make the eyes wider apart, you should pluck more from the inner corners and extend outer corners using eye pencil

*if you tweeze too much from the inner edge of the eyebrows it makes your eyes look smaller
*eyebrows should follow the line of the bone just above your eyes
*high arches are the best way to open up the eyes
*when tweezing grab each hair at the root and quickly yank in the direction of hair growth
*plucking too much from the bottom edge gives you a permanent look of surprise
*never pluck above the eyebrows
*pull hairs out in the direction of growth one at a time
*never pluck daily
*use a toothbrush or a clean mascara wand to brush the hairs
