What You Will Need:

• Hair Brush

• Bobby Pins
• Hair Spray
• 

Style 1 – The Braided Hairband

Step 1: Take a side section of your hair, from one side, and clip the rest of your hair at the back. The sectioned hair you take should be thick enough to create a hairband from your hair.

Step 2: Make a braid out of your sectioned hair, and then loosen it slightly.

Step 3: Now open the hair you had tied back and comb it. Take a smaller section of your hair from the other side and slightly twirl it, and leave it like that.

Step 4: Bring your braid to the other side while pressing it against your head. Now use the other section to cover the end of the braid and pin it up. You’re ready!

Style 2 – Chic Knotted Pony

Step 1: First, brush your hair well to get rid of any tangles. Now make sections from both sides of your hair, and tie them with a clip and tie up the rest of your hair in a regular pony.

Step 2: Take two strands of hair and make a simple knot over the rubber band in order to hide it. Tuck the extra hair at the bottom of the pony and pin it securely in one place.

Step 3: Gently roll the two sections from the front towards the back and pin them up, and your chic knotted pony is ready!

Style 3 – Twist And Fish

Step 1: Part your hair and take out small sections on both the sides.

Step 2: Gently roll each section to the back, and pin it up. Now bring all your hair to one side and begin making a normal three section braid.

Step 3: Divide the three sections into two halves and bring smaller section to the front, from either side, making a fishtail braid. Once you’re done, gently tie it towards the end.

Tips To Keep Your Makeup Lasting Longer - Parlour in Delhi, Salon in Lajpat Nagar, Rajouri Garden & Malviya Nagar

1. Primer: On a long day outside, primer is your best friend. Rub on a little bit on your forehead and nose to avoid your makeup getting shiny throughout the day. Primer essentially mattifies your skin, which in turn helps your makeup last longer.

2. Waterproof eye makeup: Nothing says ‘I’m done for the day’ like smudged eye makeup. We strongly insist on waterproof eyeliners and mascaras to avoid the much-dreaded end-of-day look.

3. Liquid foundation: If you’re a fan of liquid foundation, you know the streaky effect it gives at the end of a long day out. Well, it doesn’t have to anymore. Apply your liquid foundation in criss-cross strokes to avoid this very common problem.

4. Blotting papers: This, ladies, is your hack to day-long perfection for your makeup. Long days mean runny makeup due to the sheen of oil and sweat that accompanies the day. Keep a few blotting papers on hand, and blot the sheen away to keep your makeup looking fresh.

5. Lipstick hack: Lipsticks are one of the first applications to get ruined as your day progresses. Instead of running to the ladies room to freshen up your lip colour every time you eat or drink something, try this. Hold a tissue paper against your lips after applying your lip colour, and dab a little pressed powder on to the tissue with a makeup brush, lining your lips. This will help set the lipstick and prevent smudging.

8 Ways to remove your Hair Color easily - Parlour in Delhi, Salon in Lajpat Nagar, Rajouri Garden & Malviya Nagar

Hair coloring is one of the hottest hair makeover trends, around the world. Hair color shades are available in a huge variety, starting from burgundy, brown, gold moving up to vibrant colors like red, blue, etc. However, getting your hair colored is a simpler process than removing it. So, here are some easy and amazing tips to remove your hair color, at the comfort of your home.

Use clothing detergents
Natural laundry detergents have high contents of chemicals that help in washing away almost 75% of the dye from the hair. So, try washing the hair using detergents that do not have any bleach or bleaching agents. Only one tablespoon of detergent is enough at a time. However, after-wash care is very important for your hair, because there are chemicals in it that can make the hair very dry and frizzy.

Use Vitamin C tablets
Crush some Vitamin C tablets, dissolve them in water and make a paste. Apply this on damp hair. Keep it for an hour before you rinse it off. The acid in the tablet will help in breaking the chemical composition of the dye. Just 2 to 3 washes are enough to remove most of the colour from your hair.

Hot oil massage
Hot oil is an effective and natural way. Massage some hot oil evenly on your hair roots and tips. After that, wrap your hair in a clean towel and leave it for an hour. Rinse it off with hot water. It will not only remove colour from the hair but also nourish the dehydrated hair follicles.

Use baking soda
Bicarbonate soda is a natural bleaching agent; it can easily lighten the shade of your hair colour. Make a paste by mixing equal quantities of baking soda and your shampoo. Wet your hair with warm water and massage this paste on your strands. Rinse it off after a few minutes. Use this paste a few times to see effective results.

Squeeze out some lemon juice
Citric acid in lemon can naturally lighten your hair colour. Squeeze out some fresh lemon juice and apply it on your hair. After this, cover your head with a shower cap for a few minutes, before shampooing it out with some warm water.

Use anti-dandruff shampoo
An anti-dandruff shampoo is much stronger than your normal shampoo and contains higher percentage of sebum. So, wash your hair with anti-dandruff shampoo for seven to eight times at a gap of every 2 to 3 days to get the hair colour out. You can mix some baking powder in your anti-dandruff shampoo to see faster results.

Use hair colour remover
Hair colouring can be of various types like permanent, semi-permanent and temporary colouring. Various hair colour removing creams and lotions are available in the market that helps in removing the hair colour without much trouble in approximately 1 to 4 washes, depending on the type of hair colour used.

Use bleach and dye the hair again
Try this method as your last resort. Bleaching your hair scrapes-out the natural hair colour by removing its natural melanin. It leaves your hair with an etched or blonde look. So, after bleaching your hair, dye them back in your natural colour.

How to deal with parched skin - Parlour in Delhi, Salon in Lajpat Nagar, Rajouri Garden & Malviya Nagar

Dry skin can be a serious issue, especially because it could lead to early wrinkles, fine lines and other skin problems.

Here are some tips that can help...

Stop using gel-based products 
Face washes, night creams and body soaps that are gel-based, tend to dehydrate the top layer of your skin. Choose hypoallergenic, anti-come done products that are creamy and oil-based. These help to hydrate skin and the protective layer does not allow natural moisture to escape.

Get a body massage 
Every day before your bath, you must indulge in a 10-minute body massage using olive oil. This will nourish your skin and keep it soft.

Protect your skin from the sun 
Sunscreens are a must, no matter what the season is. Choose one that has a broad spectrum with ultra violet protection and apply generously not just on your face but all the exposed parts of your body.

Optimise your water intake 

Drink at least three liters of water throughout the day. This will help your skin stay youthful - while dry skin can make you look older, hydration leads to supple, younger skin.

How to Wash Your Hair : The Right Way - Parlour in Delhi, Salon in Lajpat Nagar, Rajouri Garden & Malviya Nagar

You might do it nearly every day, but here’s something surprising: you might not really know how to wash your hair the right way. Using the correct techniques can make a world of difference in your hair’s health, bounce and shine-but if you’re making some common mistakes, you could be damaging your lovely locks without even realizing it.

1. Start with a rinse.
Just like your laundry needs a rinse cycle before you add detergent, hair should be thoroughly wet before you add your shampoo. “Hot water will open the cuticle, which is good for removing any dirt or product trapped in the hair,” says White. Another bonus: “When your hair is rinsed in warm water, it loosens the oils through the scalp and opens the cuticle so it is able to absorb the oil” in your conditioner, says Saviano.

2. If you have long hair, condition first.
Yes, really! “If you have hair beneath the shoulders, protect fragile ends from drying out and further damage by running a small amount of conditioner through them and lightly rinsing, before any shampooing. This will not only keep ends healthy, it will fill any holes in the cuticle with moisture, making it smoother and boosting shine,” says White.

3. Lather up - but only at the scalp.
“You only need to shampoo the hair at the scalp, particularly at the nape,” Saviano says.
White agrees. “The best way to lather up is from roots to ends. The hair closest to the scalp is the youngest and will inevitably be the oiliest, while the end of the hair is the oldest and usually driest, most fragile part of the hair.”

Don’t use more shampoo than you need; both Saviano and White say that a quarter-sized amount of shampoo is enough. If your hair is particularly long or thick, go ahead and double that.

4. Be gentle!
Friction can permanently damage your hair’s cuticle, leading to breakage and frizz. Think about washing your hair like you hand wash your delicates — very carefully.
“Start your lather at the roots,” says White. “Increase blood flow to the scalp and stimulate hair growth by using vertical strokes with medium pressure.” Don’t use circular motions, which can tangle your hair.

Next, “Smooth the lather over the ends in a straight stroking motion,” White advises. “Do not scrub the fragile ends or use a back and forth motion like you’re washing a rag on a washboard.”

5. Don’t rinse and repeat.
Despite what the instructions on the back of your shampoo bottle may say, there’s no need to wash your hair twice. “Avoid stripping the hair by doing one shampoo only, which is usually sufficient,” says White. “Unless the hair is extremely dirty and the first shampoo didn’t produce a lather,” in which case, go ahead and lather up one more time.

6. Add conditioner from the mid-lengths to the tips.
After you’ve rinsed out your shampoo, “squeeze some of the water out of the hair before you put in the conditioner,” says Saviano. “Then clip your hair up and finish showering, leaving the conditioner rinse out for the final step of your shower.” The longer the conditioner stays on your hair, the better it absorbs. Don’t put conditioner at the roots of your hair; the natural oil from your scalp is more concentrated there.

7. Finish with a cold water rinse.
“Cold water will shut the cuticle tight, sealing the shingle-like outer layer, which will cause it to reflect the most light and give off the most shine,” says White.
More Hair Washing Tips…

Use a shampoo and conditioner that’s made for your hair type. If your hair is dry, choose moisturizing products. If you color your hair, opt for color-safe formulas. “Volumizing” shampoos tend to leave hair drier, so they’re best for fine hair types that would be weighed down by more moisturizing products.

How often you wash your hair depends on your hair type, too. If you have oily or fine hair, you may need to shampoo daily. Normal or dry hair can lather up closer to three times a week.
Filter your water. White recommends using a shower filter, such as the T3 Source Showerhead, since it “removes rust and minerals from water that can dull color, and deposit on blondes making them dark and muddy.” (We’ve tried it, and it also made our hair super soft.)

Beauty benefits of green tea bags - Parlour in Delhi, Salon in Lajpat Nagar, Rajouri Garden & Malviya Nagar

We are all well aware of the health benefits of green tea, but before you discard the used green tea bag, think twice.

Just sipping this tea is not the only benefit you have. This packed small tea bag can work wonders for your skin. Read on to find out more...

For your eyes only
Don't throw away the tea bags and instead, cool them and place them over your eyes for relief. Green tea contains tannin, an astringent that miraculously shrinks skin. The cool tea bags reduce the swelling around your eyes and tighten the skin, making you look and feel fabulous.

Scrub it on
Since it helps tighten the skin, making a green tea facial scrub out of the used tea is very good for the face. Mix green tea with granulated sugar and water, and you have an exfoliating scrub. It is all natural and thus light on the skin and gives you an incredible glow. You can store the scrub in the fridge to keep it fresh for longer.

Face mask
Mix equal amounts of baking soda and green tea and a bit of honey to make a facial mask. Honey helps in rejuvenating your skin and green tea, as mentioned, tightens the skin. Baking soda is a good exfoliator and helps detox the skin.

In case you're short on time and cannot apply the face mask, heat water and run the tea bag over it till it starts to steam. Squeeze out most of the water and rub the bag over your face for a few minutes for an instant glow.

For your hair
Yes, a green tea rinse is good for your mane as well and gives your hair a great shine. Put a few green tea bags in boiling water and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Leave it overnight. The next morning, pour this water on damp hair and leave it for 10 minutes. You can massage your scalp if you like. Rinse it off and apply shampoo later as usual, but make sure to use a sulphate-free product.

Effective Ways To Get A Good Night’s Sleep Before Your Wedding Day - Parlour in Delhi, Salon in Lajpat Nagar, Rajouri Garden & Malviya Nagar
