SUMMER BEAUTY
10 Tips for Summer Hair Care
Summer is here and
you can’t wait to dive into the water. But wait; there is something
you need to take care of first. Your hair needs to be prepared for
all the sun-burns and chlorine that is going to be exposed too. Keep
your hair healthy and shiny throughout summer with these simple hair
care tips:
1. If you blow dry a lot, use a smoothing Serum, preferably
containing silicone before and after blow-drying to prevent frizz.
2. If you are going to be swimming a lot, protect your hair from
chlorine by combing conditioner into wet hair before jumping into
the pool.
3. Rinse your hair immediately after swimming to wash out harsh
chemicals that may damage your hair.
4. A conditioning spray specified for detangle is a great way to
easily detangle hair after swimming.
5. When on the beach or by the pool, apply sunscreen to your hair
and scalp to protect from sunburn.
6. Avoid going in for perming, curling or straightening treatments
during the summer months. Find out your favorite style and stick to
it for 6 months.
7. To protect your hair color highlights from the sun, apply
conditioner on to the highlighted hair and hide away most of their
hair in a tight bun.
8. If you have a sun-burnt scalp already, make repairs by using Aloe
Vera gel on the sun-burnt area before going to bed.
9. African-American women can use oil-based hair products specified
for them to protect their hair from becoming brittle and tangled.
10. Last but not the least; give your hair some rest by refraining
use of too many hair products for a couple of days. Just let them
breathe easy.

FITNESS
Top 5 Weight Loss Exercises
It has been proven beyond doubt
that any form of exercise is the best way to lose weight, burn
calories and get rid of that extra fat. However there are some
weight loss exercises
that will help you lose weight faster than any other method.
1. Brisk Walking: Walking is the
easiest and best way to kick start your weight loss program.
Although walking anytime is good for weight loss, a brisk 45 minute
walk in the morning is said to be more beneficial. The air is fresh
in the morning with no pollution and your body has had a good
night’s sleep and is well rested. Though it may take a couple of
months to start seeing visible results in your figure, you will feel
active and fresh from day one. And once your metabolism kicks off.
you will start losing weight faster than you thought.
2. Aerobics: Aerobics is a popular
way to lose weight especially with young people as it involves
moving to dance music. Your movements do not need to be graceful as
in a dance, and it is a great way to unwind and burn those extra
calories. The two main types of aerobics are hard impact aerobics
and low impact aerobics. Aerobics are suitable for almost anyone,
although people with injuries should avoid hard impact aerobics.
3. Swimming: Swimming for weight loss
is a fun way to lose weight and get refreshed at the same time.
Doing just a few laps of the pool will give a whole body workout and
burn those extra calories. Hitting the pool for just 30 minutes
every day and keeping a watch on what you eat after the swim will
help you lose weight faster than you can imagine.
4. Gym Exercise: Hitting the gym is
one of the most popular way to exercise to lose weight and tone your
body. A good gym routine consists of cardio vascular exercise,
strength training and flexibility training. Most gyms will give you
a personal trainer who will see to it that you do your routine
properly and also give you a diet chart to follow, so that you do
not intake more calories than you burn. And as gyms are everywhere,
it is very easy to become a member of any good one and start your
weight loss program right now.
5. Playing Sports: Taking up a sport
is a great way to lose weight while doing something that you enjoy.
Any sport which involves physical activity will help you lose weight
and feel better about yourself. Outdoor sports like golf, tennis or
football are great as you get to be in nature and also develop your
social life. Many clubs meet on weekends for a game and are great
places to meet new people and stay motivated towards your weight
loss goals at the same time.

suitable for your
weight loss, and to
