Hairstyles for Every Hair Type

Hairstyles for Straight Hair

For a Night Out: Boost a Basic Braid

Make this style sultry for evening by creating a messy side part and weaving your hair into a braid tucked behind one ear. Start braiding at the top of your head, working down along your hairline. Tuck bobby pins along the edges to secure it. Finish with a mist of hair spray, like Dove Style+Care Strength&Shine Flexible Hold Hairspray.

For a Twist on the Ponytail: Loop It Up

To get this pulled-together look, part your hair down the middle and pull your strands into a sleek, low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Form a tight loop, wrapping the end of the ponytail over the top of the base and then underneath it to conceal the ponytail elastic, and pin it in place. Lightly spritz your locks all over with a shine-enhancing mist for a healthy sheen.

Let Your Hair Down: Get a Bouncy Blowout

Key to this swingy blow-dry are wavy ends. With your head upside down, apply a root-boosting spray, beneath the top layers of your hair and blow-dry with a paddle brush. To boost body, tease hair in two-inch sections at the roots and wrap each around a two-inch Velcro roller. Let your hair cool completely, then remove the rollers and shake out your strands.

For a Twist on the Ponytail: Reach New Heights

Power up your pony by dividing the hair at your crown into three sections. Lightly brush them from front to back, teasing each part for maximum lift. Leaving the teased portion free, pull the rest of your strands into a high ponytail. Rake the teased hair into a small ponytail right above the other one and then wrap an elastic around both ponies. Spray ends with a lightweight texturizer and scrunch with your fingers.

Let Your Hair Down: Score Smooth Curls

Apply a serum through the ends of damp hair. Next, run a dollop of mousse through the lengths. Flip your head upside down and blow-dry, tousling as you go. For sleek waves: Moving away from your face, twist one-inch pieces around a one-and-a-quarter-inch curling iron held vertically.

For a Night Out: Get an Undone Updo

For a pinned-back look that's boho, not bridal party, create a side part and pull your hair into a side pony, letting loose strands frame your face. Wind the ponytail into a bun and fasten it with pins. Spritz the portion of loose hair with wave spray drape it over the bun and secure it with pins. Let a couple of tendrils fall around your face.

Let Your Hair Down: Loosen Up Your Ringlets

Score this supereasy do by applying a liberal amount of a silicone-based product through your strands to help the brush glide through. Moving in layers, starting at the nape of the neck and working upward, use a ball-tipped cushion brush to gently loosen your curls. The ball tips on the brush are easy on your hair. Fluff the curls with your fingers

For a Twist on the Ponytail: Try a Pony-Bun Hybrid

If your ponytail tends to look poufy, incorporate the strand-taming qualities of a bun. Pull the bottom section of your hair at the back of your head into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Next, take both of the sections on the sides and cross them at the top of the base of the ponytail and then pin underneath to secure. Leave the remaining curls free and loose for a laid-back effect.

For a Night Out: Do the Twist

This sophisticated style appears intricate but is actually a cinch. Make a side part and divide the hair at the top of your head into two sections. Beginning at the hairline, twirl each half up and toward the back of your head until you reach the middle, pinning from above. Join together the loose twists in the back and fasten the ends with pins under the coil. Play with positioning it lower or higher, according to your preference.

The common mistakes we make when using keyboard and mouse.

Many people actually use their computer the wrong way which will strain the wrist nerves in long run and cause Carpal Tunnel. I myself have experienced wrist strain from the wrong usage of keyboard and touch pad mouse which requires me to do some stretching on my wrist for it to feel better. 

If you are experiencing wrist discomfort, here's a video that will help you relieve pain.

Laurier Super Slimguard Review

I received samples of their new sanitary pad, "Super Slimguard" from Kao Laurier. Please note that this is for ladies only. Guys, there might be some information that you don't want to know or regret reading. :)

So i've tried them now and i'm about to share with you my experience with Laurier's new sanitary pad. Do know that i will not be bias and will be completely honest in this review.

Super Slimguard Day

The Super Slimguard Day is 22.5cm. It claims to have maximum absorbency in only 1mm thick. It's also claimed to be quick in drying and locking.  

"Polymers inside the 1mm Ultra Absorbent Sheet lock 200px of fluid instantly. It's so absorbent yet its barely there, staying hidden under anything you wear!"

"Suction-like power absorbs fluid quickly into the new Quick Lock System, get about your daily activities with no more worries about leakages, no matter how heavy the flow."

"Feel drier like never before with 80%* of fluid reduced on innovative Quick Dry Mesh Surface and seals it within the centre core, reducing stuffy uncomfortable feeling."

My Review

First things first, I did not read the information behind the packet when I used it. Typing this information out is basically my first time reading it. What I experienced or felt was exactly what it claims! I'm kind of surprised actually, I mean how often are things exactly what it claims to be right?

In my experience when I first used it, I wore my jeggings because I was wearing a long top, so I thought my long top would cover my butt so it'll be okay. But seriously... Wow... I looked in the mirror, it is like as if I'm not wearing any pad at all! I touched my butt just to see if I could feel it, it is so damn thin I could barely feel  it. I would be lying if I said it felt like nothing was there, but it is really thin that you can barely feel it, as compared to my other pad of course. 

*This might be disgusting*

My previous pad used to feel damped, after all it's fluid. But to my surprise when I used this Laurier pad it felt really dry! I used to get a bit of rashes with my previous pad, but with this pad I didn't get any at all. So i assume the rash is caused by the pad. This one absorbs quick for sure.

Laurier Super Slimguard Night

Very much similar to Day except that it's 30cm. The first and second night I usually have heavier flow as compared to the next few days, so whenever I sleep and i'm always careful with my position because I worry it might leak. But even so whenever I wake up, there's bound to be a stain. But when I used Super Slimguard, I was really really surprised that I didnt get any leakage! On the second night, I slept anyway I like, when I woke up, no leakage as well. 

I've got to admit that Laurier has done a good job with this pad. Before this I didn't like using Laurier because the design was small which i didn't like as I preferred longer or bigger pads for a more secure feeling. But now I'm quite surprised with Laurier's new pad and I'm definitely switching to this one.

I gave some samples to my friend to try as well, she had the same thoughts as I did. She said usually when the pad is almost full she would feel the weight of the pad. But with Slimguard she did not feel that way. She wore the pad from 12pm to 4pm with heavy flow, it was still alright given that it's only 1mm thick! She loves it and she's thinking of switching as well.

So to conclude...

*super thin until you can wear any pants you want

*quick absorbent where you don't have to worry about leakage

*it feels dry so you don't have to worry about getting rashes

*given that it's only 1mm thick, it is able to last up to 4 hours on heavy flow. 

Rate: 4/5

*I'll be having a giveaway for the Laurier Super Slimguard! Stay tuned. :)
