5 fast Beauty, Fashion Fixes

It’s always important to have the best-laid plans, especially when it comes to resolving a beauty crisis.

Whether you’re on your way to a get-together or getting ready to have dinner with the in-laws, disaster can strike at any given moment. But with the right preparation and an ounce of knowledge, you can escape with minimal damage.

Maybe you’re missing a button. Perhaps you cut yourself shaving. These small inconveniences don’t have to ruin your look. I have simple fixes that can be done in the nick of time with everyday items.

1. Shaving nicks: Moisten a dry tea bag with cold water and place on the cut to stop the bleeding.

2. Hair mousse: Use a small amount of shaving cream (not gel) in a fix.

3. Lint remover: Use sticky labels. They work better than skinny strips of tape.

4. Quick nail dryer: Coat wet nails with a spritz of nonstick cooking spray. The oil seals in the polish and provides a protective coating while your nails dry.

5. Missing button: You can fix a popped button by stripping off the paper of a storage bag tie and using the metal to thread the buttonhole. Twist it at the back to keep the button in place.

This is especially useful if you find yourself at a restaurant. Just discreetly ask the waiter for a bag tie and head to the restroom.

Losing Hair? Try These Foods That May Save Your Hair

Top 5 Foods That Can Help Save Your Hair 1. Fruits and Vegetables for Antioxidants Rich in antioxidants, various vitamins and minerals, fruits and vegetables (the more colorful the better) are a crucial part of your diet that supply the much-needed nutrients for hair growth. For example, Vitamin C is essential in the synthesis of collagen, which is the connective tissue that gives structure to hair. 2. Whole Grains for Insoluble Fiber Whole grain foods are great sources of insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber is critical in fighting insulin resistance, which has been linked with male-pattern baldness in some studies. In addition, whole grain products are also a natural source of Vitamin B6 and are often fortified with folic acid, both of which are important in ensuring a good blood and oxygen supply to nourish your follicles and hair.

3. Dairy for Vitamin A Hair is mostly made up of the protein keratin, so it is no surprise that the protein from dairy products can help support hair growth. Most fluid milk is also enriched with Vitamin A, which helps prevent hair loss caused by Vitamin A deficiency. 4. Meat for Zinc

Not only are lean meats a source of high-quality protein, they also contain ample amoun ts of B vitamins, such as Vitamins B6 and B12 and biotin. More importantly, meats supply iron and zinc, which a re required to prevent hair loss associated with deficiencies in these minerals. 5. Water Last but not least, consuming sufficient (non-caffeinated) fluids will help with nutrient transportation, which keeps your hair hydrated and strong. Stay away from chemical-laden sodas. sumber : Healthcastledotcom
