Tips and tricks to avoid split ends

Having split ends doesn’t necessarily mean that your world has ended. Yes, they are less than desirable and can be a little bit annoying but there are ways to delay their occurrence. When your ends are frayed, your hairstyle starts looking a bit dull and it becomes nearly impossible to grow your hair.

While there is no other way of getting rid of your split ends except for chopping them off, there are a plenty of ways of keeping them under control. Yes, you all can deal with your fried and jagged ends with these easy and simple tips and turn them into soft, smooth and healthy hair. Take a look at these tips and tricks to avoid split ends.

1. Do not wash your hair daily

Washing hair every day makes them dry which results in detangled and frizzy hair. Daily wash takes away the natural oils from your hair which makes your scalp itchy and also causes dandruff. Therefore, it is advisable to wash your hair only twice or thrice a week.

2. Shampoo only your scalp

Always use shampoo to wash your scalp but not the hair length because it’s the scalp that gets greasy. So simply lather shampoo onto your scalp and massage it for one minute allowing it to absorb the excess oil and then rinse with cold water.

Tip: Get your hair some oil massage at night and wash it the next morning.

3. Condition your ends

ALWAYS use conditioner after the shampoo! Apply conditioner from the mid length to the ends of your hair, and then give it a couple of minutes to soak in and then rinse off with cold water.

4. Towel drying

Do not rub your hair with a towel, instead wrap a towel (or a cotton t-shirt) around your hair and squeeze dripping wet hair to remove excess water. Once the excess water is removed, let it air dry.

5. Grab a gentle comb or brush

The brush or comb should aid you in detangling your hair, not pulling it out. Invest in a wide tooth comb or a round paddle brush to lightly glide through hair and loosely manage your locks without causing much breakage.

Tip: Always start detangling the ends first working your way up till the roots

6. Blow drying

Avoid placing direct heat to your hair until absolutely necessary. Use a blow dryer on low or medium setting and hold it a few inches away from your hair to minimise damage

7. Heat styling

Heat denatures the keratin of hair making it prone to split ends. Heat treatments are a major cause of damage and split ends which includes blow drying, straightening and curling your hair.

Tip: Use a heat protector on your hair before styling them with heat

8. Get your hair trimmed regularly

The best way to avoid split ends in the first place is to get your hair trimmed on a regular basis (after every eight weeks). If you notice a random split end along the way, grab a pair of scissors and chop it out, right then!

9. Hair mask

Treating your tresses with a hair mask every once in a while is a great way to lock in moisture and banish those wicked split ends. Use it every couple of weeks and you should see an improvement in your hair’s strength, softness and overall shine. If you want to go for home-made hair mask then make a mixture of one egg, one tablespoon olive oil/coconut oil and one teaspoon honey, apply it to your hair and wash it after 40-45 minutes.

10 winter outfits from Pinterest you must copy now!

Winter is here and between utilising the old clothes to preparing the shopping list for new ones, we often forget to put the right outfit together. However, Pinterest is here to help us and we can’t be more thrilled. Here are 10 winter outfits on Pinterest that’ll help you up your fashion game in minutes. Take a look.

1) Pair your favourite pair of distressed denims with knee-high boots, a jumper and a scarf.

2) Match your ankle boots and bag to your oversized scarf and let the scarf do the trick. The best part of winter outfits is layering, so layer up. Use T-shirts, jackets, chunky jewels and layer ’em up real nice.

3) Whoever said white pants were for summer didn’t probably look at them like this. Team your summer whites with a neutral jumper and jewels and get ready to brighten up dull winter days.

4) Go black on the inside and white on the outside. Bring that big shrug out and wear it over an allover same colour outfit. Don’t forget the infinity scarf and did we mention prints?

5) Dress your dress up with a loose cardigan and leggings. Put on your lace-up boots and a long neck piece to complete the look.

6) If leggings are not your thing, opt for knee-high boots with a blanket scarf and curly hair.

7) Every winter wardrobe is incomplete without leather jackets and every year brings with it a new way to style them. Take inspiration from the picture below and get your leather game on.

8) You may also pair your winter jackets with dresses. Here’s how

9) And how can we forget trench coats?

10) If you don’t mind being a bit experimental and have the legs for this look, then sport your palazzos this fall with a poncho.

Men’s Fashion: 105 – How to style yourself for winters!

Dear men, we’re back with the fashion guide to put your fashion problems to rest. Winter is that time of the year when you can wear more and more clothes and still ace the day at your workplace. It gives you numerous options to style yourself, from clothes to accessories. There is no bar to experimentation in winters but that doesn’t allow you to make a fool out of yourself or look like a… penguin? Anyway, these five things will have you all sorted out. Go ahead, set, experiment!

#1 Beanies

People who love winters have a thing for beanies, we shit you not, and they are much cooler once you have them on. Now, beanies aren’t just caps for winters. They take your fashion level up a few notches. You’ll always have different colours and designs to choose from and it’s always nice to have your options open!

Source

#2 Pullovers

Pullovers include sweatshirts, hoodies and sweaters. Hoodies might not be a good idea for many to wear at work but those who can; they definitely should use the advantage. Also, not just colours you should also experiment with the designs or prints with this piece of clothing. For example, Aztec prints, they’re pretty cool and in fashion.

Source

Oh and, Cardigans. They are not pullovers but they give you a very professional and smart look. They look better with shirts than t-shirts. Just a suggestion!

Source

#3 Jackets

Jackets are a must have, period. You’ve got to have a jacket to complete a formal look. From your office look to a party at your boss’ place a jacket will help you stand out and might just give you a fresh look. Things to keep in mind when buying or trying on a jacket; it should fit well from your shoulders to your sleeves and should hug your torso right. And it should not be loose; jackets weren’t meant to destroy the look.

Source

#4 Mufflers

If you’re feeling too cold and need to enhance your look, a muffler will help you hit the bull’s eye. Covering your neck from the cold they also work pretty great as a fashion accessory. You can choose mufflers according to how cold it is, the material and whatever designs you can come across. It’s not really a must have, but a muffler gives you a look like nothing else can.

Source

#5 Joggers

Denim joggers to be precise are just like sweatpants but with denim print on it. So, it feels like normal sweatpants that you laze around in at home but with denim joggers, you can wear them at work too. Hell, life made easy. Now that it looks like just regular denim nobody will notice and even if they do, tell them to keep up with fashion and style. They know nothing. Joggers have drawstring with elastic at the waist and at the bottom to keep you warm. They go well with both shirts and t-shirts and are very comfortable.

These are the basics to style yourself for winters. Remember the more you experiment, the better your look.

10 Places Around The World That You Can Only Visit Through Google Maps

The world is your oyster, is it? Well, not quite! From top secret Headquarters to clandestine underground tunnels and hush-hush societies, we run through some of the places across the globe that you can only visit virtually on Google Maps and not for real.

TravelTriangle.com, India’s first customizable holiday tour package marketplace, explores some of the most inaccessible places around the world. Take a look at these 10 Places Around The World That You Can Only Visit Through Google Maps.

1. Area 51 – The Biggest Conspiracy Theory of America

Source

You must know about America’s worst kept secret – Area 51 which is an alias for a military base located in Nevada, around 80 miles northwest of downtown Las Vegas. Right at the center of the base is a huge military airfield. Arguably, the main purpose of the base is to research and develop experimental aircrafts and weaponry. The U.S government never acknowledged its existence adding fuel to the conspiracy theories that say the base is used for analysis of UFO and aliens. We obviously don’t know which version is true since nobody is allowed access.

2. Svalbard Global Seed Vault – You know where to go in case Apocalypse actually takes place

Source

Built out of the fear that those sci-fi scenarios when the world comes to an end might come true, Svalbard Global Seed Vault, located in the North Sea is home to 250 million crop seeds shipped from gene banks worldwide. The estimated cost of this place exceeds $9 million dollars. Unless you’re a designated researcher or plant breeder you’re not allowed inside the vault. If in case you ever enter the vault you’d be the only hope for agriculture during a polar ice cap melt or any other Earthly disaster!

3. Mezhgorye – What happens in Russia stays in Russia

Source

A closed town in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia – Mezhgorye is a closed town. It’s said that people residing in the town work on a highly classified secret program around Mount Yamantaw, which is suspected to be the location of either a repository of Russian treasures, a nuclear program, a bunker in case of war or a huge warehouse of coal. Nobody really knows!

4. North Sentinel Island, Andaman – Where the deadliest tribe resides

Source

A group of indigenous people known as the Sentinelese, live in the North sentinel Island of Andaman in the Bay of Bengal. The estimated population of the island is between 50 and 400. These people are considered to be the last people on earth to remain virtually untouched by modern civilization.

Attempts to contact the tribe have been met with hostility. People have been attacked by arrows and stones if they get too close to their area. In fact on 26 January 2006, two fishermen were killed when their boat drifted near the island.

5. Vatican Secret Archives – Property of the Pope

Source

This is not just any ordinary library, it’s the Vatican Library! Only a sacred few are allowed access to the vaults. However, if you need to read any of the books, which by the way are owned by the Pope, you can receive the manuscript via email. How very modern!

6. Lascaux Caves, France – Art of the Palaeolithic Age

Source

Archaeologists discovered this place in South West France, Lascaux. It’s a complex of caves that are world-renowned for their Palaeolithic cave paintings, estimated to be over 17,500 years old. They were once open to public viewing but now they have been closed since quite some time to preserve the original artwork. So, no, you’re not allowed here as well!

7. Room 39, North Korea – Kim Jong’s Secret Vault

Source

It’s hard enough getting into North Korea, imagine trying to get into Room 39! It’s a secretive North Korean government facility that’s said to be home to several illegal operations including counterfeiting $100 bills, production of drugs (including methamphetamine and heroin) and international insurance fraud. Many claim that Room 39 is critical to Kim Jong’s continued power, enabling him to buy political support and fund North Korea’s nuclear weapons’ program. Yikes!

8. Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion

Source

Located in Ethiopia, the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion is impossible to access because it’s claimed to house some of the most important biblical objects like the original Ark of the Covenant. According to legends, the Ark was brought to Ethiopia with Menelik I after he visited his father King Solomon.

9. Snake Island, São Paulo – One bite of this viper can melt your flesh!

Source

About 90 miles from the city of São Paulo lies Ilha de Queimada Grande, or “Snake Island” – a place so filled with venomous serpents that it’s been called one of the world’s deadliest islands! Scientists estimate that up to 4,000 snakes live on the 110-acre island – that’s one snake for every six square yards. And these aren’t just any snakes. Queimada Grande is the only known home of the golden lancehead, one of the most venomous vipers in the world. Its venom is capable of melting human flesh! Currently, the Brazilian Navy bans civilians from this island, though scientists sometimes receive waivers.

10. Bohemian Grove – A secret society of the most powerful!

Source

Just like some cult thriller film, Bohemian Grove is a 2,700 acre rural location somewhere in Monte Rio, California. The land is owned by private San-Fran based arts club known as, well … the Bohemian Club. Every summer, the club hosts a two-week, three weekend camp in the woods for the most powerful men in the world. It’s all just a bit too weird to digest, don’t you think?

Want fabulous, clear skin? Add cleansing oils to your beauty regime right now

Presenting the superhero of all facial cleansers, cleansing oils! Yes, you heard it right! Cleansing oils have been a skincare staple in Asia for a long time and are now becoming popular all across the globe. They are the most effective way to remove impurities and are suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. These one-step cleansers work on a unique emulsifying technology where the oil turns into a milky cleanser as soon as it comes in contact with water.

But how do they work?

The oil and the cleanser bind with the skin’s natural oils and gently remove all impurities while maintaining the inherent moisture balance of the skin. The light-textured oil smoothly spreads and instantly blends into the skin, dissolving all oil-based makeup. When it comes in contact with water, the magic of emulsification starts and it turns into a milky liquid.

Source

And how should you use them?

Start with dry hands and face and take a good amount of cleansing oil in your hands. Gently rub and warm the oil in your palms. Apply it onto your face. Once you’ve rubbed the oil into your skin, just add a little bit of water and continue massaging. Use lukewarm water to rinse your face and gently dab it dry with a towel.

Watch this video to see Susan Yara demonstrate how to use cleansing oils properly.

The ultimate shapewear guide for women

Shapewear can make you look slimmer in most clothing you wear; they can smooth out lumps and give you a sleeker silhouette. Gone are the days when shapewear used to uncomfortably poke into your ribs; they have now become comfortable and ultra-slimming. If you’ve never tried them before, you might be in for a surprise. Celebrities swear by shapewear (they might not admit it too often) and it is sure to make you feel and look fabulous. Whether you want to slim your stomach or thighs, or just want to create sleek curve; shapewear can help you achieve those flawless curves without any hassle. Here’s a quick shapewear guide to help you get rid of your confusion surrounding these items of innerwear.

1) For an over – all sleek silhouette go for bodysuits and body slips.

1.1) Bodysuits

Bodysuits might look like swimsuits but they actually work on lifting your body. They instantly flatten out your stomach, lift your bust and create a smooth silhouette. They can be worn under any outfit and they offer great support to your bust. Wear them with: figure hugging tops and bodycon dresses or maxi dresses.

1.2) Body control dresses or body slips: Body control dresses also known as body slips, perfectly hug your figure creating a flawless foundation under your dresses making your body look smooth and toned. Wear them with: sheer fit-and-flare dresses, shift dresses and maxi dresses.

2) For a defined waist and smooth tummy opt for corsets and waist clinchers.

2.1) Corsets

Corsets or garter dresses are an essential piece of shapewear for every woman’s wardrobe. They are used to train your waist for creating that perfect hourglass figure. Most corsets come along with stocking clips to help keep them in place. Wear them with: tops, T-shirts, formal shirts and dresses.

2.2) Waist clinchers

A waist clincher or a tummy tucker is a wide belt that is worn around the waist to smooth out the tummy and hide your side bulges. They are versatile and are available in a wide range of styles. Wear them with: tight-fitting tops and T-shirts.

3) For smoother bottom and thighs try shaping shorts or control briefs.

3.1) Shaping shorts

Shaping shorts also popularly known as thigh slimmers are best if you want a smooth line under a slim-fitting skirt or some skinny jeans. They gently flatten your tummy, smooth your hips and thighs for a flattering and tapered look. Wear it with: pencil skirts and trousers.

3.2) Control briefs

Control briefs or high-waist knickers are ideal for everyday use. These knickers have a low cut on the legs and they provide full bottom coverage. They also have a high waist to gently minimise your tummy and side bulges. Wear it with: fitted trousers and skirts.

Now that you know everything about the different types of shapewear available, here are a few tips on finding the right shapewear for you.

1) Decide what shapewear works best for you by locating the areas to be targeted. If you need shapewear that only slims a specific area of your body like your stomach or thighs, opt for slips, corset or brief styled shapewear.

2) Stick to your size Women often make the mistake of picking out shapewear in smaller sizes to make them look slimmer which only ends up causing budges and discomfort. One should always stick to their size so as to make the most out of shapewear.

3) Opt for high waist shapewear to get smoother lines through the torso High-waist shapewear guarantees a smoother finish especially through the torso. You can opt for waist clinchers or controlling shorts that can be hooked onto your bra so that it doesn’t fall down for a better impact.

4) Choose a full bodysuit for all over body shaping Bodysuits create a head to toe streamline shape making you look slimmer and saves the time of pairing separate shapewear.

5) Look for the right fabric Shapewear is mostly available in polyester and spandex, which is ideally suited for cold climates. Look for cotton blended with spandex or polyester to keep you cool during summers.

Anonymous to ISIS: ‘expect us.’ And they have all the reasons to be worried

The group of hackers known as ‘Anonymous’ recently posted a video on Youtube in which they left a message for ISIS that should have them worried. ISIS reportedly claimed responsibility for the recent tragedy that occurred in Paris and left the world flabbergasted. Where the death toll has risen to 132 and accomplices are still on the loose, Anonymous has taken charge to bring ISIS down by bringing a war with them. In the video message that Anonymous posted, they’ve made it clear that they are after ISIS, leaving them with no way out.

The infamous group said they’ll ‘unite humanity’ using all their knowledge in which they call their ‘biggest operation ever’ and warned the ISIS to ‘expect us.’

The video is in French but the message is very clear.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwGGcZoRs-k

This is what they said and we quote ‘Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you down. You should know that we will find you and we will not let you go. We will launch the biggest operation ever against you. Expect massive cyber-attacks. War is declared. Get prepared. The French people are stronger than you and will come out of this atrocity even stronger.’

Anonymous to ISIS, also tweeted and retweeted just to let the world know, that the war has been going on for a while now.

Also, we were just wondering and all this reminds us of Mr Robot, a soap about a hacker group known as ‘fsociety’ that wants to bring peace to the world by crashing the stock market that’ll will clear all the debts anybody ever had. Now, we don’t know how many of you are aware with what we’re trying to say but if it all goes the way Anonymous has planned, ISIS could be walking towards real trouble!

Reverse hair washing is the right way of washing your hair

All of you might have heard about washing your hair twice or thrice a week but are you really washing your hair the right way? Did you just say YES…? We are not sure, if you’re using your conditioner after your shampoo, you’ve been doing it wrong all along.

Source

Regardless of the products you use, most of you have been taught to wash your hair the usual way starting with shampoo and finishing with conditioner. But now it’s time for you to reverse your steps because this is what reverse hair washing is all about wherein you use the conditioner first and then the shampoo.

It sounds a bit weird because the point of using the conditioner towards the end is to CONDITION your hair but actually, reverse hair washing works, especially if you’ve got fine hair. Conditioning before you shampoo your hair is a great way to add nourishment to thin hair. It primes the hair before cleansing and allows the shampoo to distribute evenly.

Reverse Hair Washing: Steps

1. Wet your hair with water and make sure your hair is fully drenched. If your hair isn’t totally saturated with water, it will be difficult for you to distribute any product.

2. Now, apply the conditioner allover your hair, starting from the roots to the tips and leave it in for a fair amount of time, say 10 minutes. But, but, but… DO NOT RINSE (If you rinse your conditioner out and then apply shampoo, you will end up with dry and frizzy hair).

3. Use the shampoo to remove your conditioner so that there is no residue. Rinse with cold water and you’re done.

Reverse hair washing technique gives your hair all the moisturising benefits of using a conditioner and you’re not left with brittle and messy hair. Basically the theory is that using thicker and heavier conditioner after the shampoo can leave your hair feeling and looking weighed down with residue, so using it first and then using shampoo leaves each strand looking fuller and strong.
