  • Benefits of a Shampoo and Conditioner in Keeping Your Hair Healthy

    Shampoos and conditioners offer a lot of benefits and there are reasons for their popularity and wide usage. These not only cleanse your hair but also make your hair nourished and rejuvenated.

    In this article, we will discuss various factors that make a shampoo and conditioner the perfect candidates for improving the look of your hair and making your hair healthy. Let’s have a look at some of these.

    Why Use a Shampoo?

    Let’s first have a look at the reasons why you should use a shampoo and the advantages it offers.

    Keeps the Hair Clean

    Shampoos contain cleaning and foaming factors. The surfactants in shampoo take all the impurities with them while making a rich lather. This freshens up your hair and gives them a clean and crisp look.

    Removes Dead Skin Cells

    Scalp tends to get excessively dry especially during the winter season, it tends to flake off. A shampoo can help remove the scales of dead skin cells from your scalp. This makes your hair lighter.

    Protects Color-treated Hair

    One important usage and benefit of shampoo is protection of color-treated hair. A shampoo not only keeps the color in place but also prevents formation of dandruff which can be an important factor contributing to the loss of color. Using a dandruff shampoo for color-treated hair can help in keeping your hair vibrant and attractive for longer. As it will prevent the formation of dandruff, no extra oils will be excreted. As a result, color will be locked in its place.

  • Types of Underwear That Can Be Paired with Tight Dresses

    Have you ever felt embarrassed because of the visible panty lines in the tight jeans? There is no need to feel ashamed in accepting the truth because we have all been in a similar situation at some point in our life. We understand that a flawless look can be spoiled when you don’t choose the right underwear.

    Underwear doesn’t have to be stylish, colorful, and beautiful. However, you must avoid wearing basic and cheap underwear that includes thick lines. Just because our underwear can’t make a good fashion statement doesn’t mean it can’t make a bad and embarrassing statement about our fashion sense and personality.

    Don’t you choose a bra based on the type of dress? You do because not every bra will look on the off-shoulder dress and sleeveless top. Similarly, most types of underwear will not look good on some tight pencil skirts, leggings, and jeans. Here are the popular types of underwear that can be paired with different dresses.

    Boy Shorts

    Boy shorts were created by taking inspiration from men’s boxers. These shorts are extremely comfortable and functional. Girls wear boy shorts with flared dresses and skirts. You will feel relaxed after wearing these shorts.

    Classic Briefs

    Classic briefs are normal underwear that can be easily found in local shops. They usually come in packs of four or six. Classic briefs can be paired with almost any dress and outfit that is not tight and body-hugging. The main issue with this cheap underwear is that panty lines are visible in tight jeans and leggings.

    Hipsters

    Are you looking for wide coverage on the sides? Hipsters provide good coverage and have low-rise. This underwear can be paired with any dress or outfit. Hence, you must get hipsters in different colors and designs. After getting a hipster that has a good fitting, you won’t deal with any issues related to underwear.

    Thongs

    Girls who want their underwear to look sexy and stylish should choose thongs. Moreover, they are perfect underwear paired with jeans that don’t look good with another type of underwear. Are you wondering what underwear to wear with leggings? Thongs are considered best because there isn’t even the smallest chance of underwear showing.

  • How to Remove Nail Polish Colors Without Damaging Your Nails?

    Applying nail polish on your fingernails gives you extreme pleasure as it accentuates your beauty and makes you presentable. A well-done manicure can last comfortably for two to three weeks. In the meantime, your nails keep growing naturally beneath the OPI gel color layer. The growing nail gently pushes the polish layer outwards. So, in two weeks, you might require the removal of the nail polish layer, for which you need to visit a nail salon. However, you can learn how to remove nail polish at home. Besides saving time and costs, it can help you in an emergency.

    How to Remove Gel Polish at Home?

    The primary ingredient you need for removing OPI gel nail polish colors at home is the nail polish remover. These solutions contain acetone because acetone is the most widely used nail polish remover globally. The organic compounds present in gel polish dissolve in acetone quickly. However, using acetone has its significant demerits.

    Acetone has dehydrating properties because of which, prolonged exposure can drain out the moisture from your nails and the skin surrounding them. Unfortunately, there is no better solution to this problem. People have tried using alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and many other compounds to remove nail polish, but nothing is as effective as acetone.

    Let us, therefore, discuss how to remove nail polish using acetone.
