Personal Grooming Without The Salon

ByDanny Farmand

Going to the hair stylist can be a pain along with being costly, so skipping that step might be wise. Hair is not an incredibly difficult thing to replicate for most people, since most people do not have extremely elaborate hairstyles. A friend can usually benefit the procedure, as well as an eye for detail while monitoring the haircut. Cutting hair is a great skill to learn that can save lots of money throughout life, and with the right direction, can be more tailored to what the individual wants.

First, obtaining some equipment is necessary. All-in-one kits are fantastic to start out with and may sometimes contain excellent quality tools. If the person is a male, a shaver is typically required for shorter cuts. Everything can be substituted later if this becomes a serious hobby, so bear that in mind when first buying equipment. To be able to stay sharp and durable, premium scissors are often made from better materials. Inexpensive shavers get dull quicker and "tug" on the hair as opposed to cutting it. Tugging occurs when the hair is grabbed and not cut by the blade and it pulls on the scalp because of this, leaving the individual at least very uncomfortable.

Besides clipping equipment, styling chairs are essential to sit in. Getting started with a folding chair or another spare is great, as long as it is easily cleaned. Hair dropping into fabric and getting stuck appears messy and is not very clean. After home haircuts become regular, investing in nice hair salon furniture gives more choices and more convenience. Keeping someone in place and not by mistake spinning the chair can make it quicker and less annoying to position the scissors properly.

Next, learning how to cut hair is a wise idea. Basing creative ideas off of one's favorite hair artist at the nearby salon is a good way to get ideas for a solid start. When making observations, focusing on the cut angle and cutting areas helps a lot. It is not as essential to pay attention to the cut itself as it is the way it is cut, because it is going to be difficult at first to replicate a haircut. If the person is not experienced at all with hairstyles, performing some research before going to the salon helps build the concept. Replicating something from a month ago can be hard, so taking many pictures of the haircut can serve as a great reminder.

Getting another committed friend involved will help to have someone else to give the cut to. Keeping it fun rather than a chore with a pal can help keep the tradition going.

Wedding Makeup and Grooming

It always starts with the skin, boring as it sounds your make-up will only ever look as good as the skin beneath it - if your skin is dry then your foundation may have an orange peel effect, if your skin is oily and the correct measures are not taken then your make-up will slide the minute you warm up. So it's essential to embrace cleansing, toning and moisturising twice a day with a weekly mask or exfoliation depending on your skin type, some months before the big day with a good quality range. It is not advisable to make any changes to your skincare routine the week before the wedding.

When it comes to the make-up itself, it is always best to have a dress rehearsal with your chosen make-up artist about a month or so beforehand, if that make-up artist is also an image consultant like me then samples of colours and pictures of styles to be worn are very useful in getting the look right for the bride's colouring and also for the style of the dress. If there are any glitches in the make-up rehearsal it is best to get these ironed out immediately or at another rehearsal.

Bridal make-up differs from other make-up because one does not very often wear a shade of white or ivory/light shade head to toe and therefore some adjustment often needs to be made in terms of shades of cosmetics worn. Also the finished result has to last for the duration of the ceremony and often some hours afterwards so it may need to be applied with that in mind.

Hands and feet should be well looked after in the months prior to the event and It is imperative to have the eyebrows shaped a couple of days prior to the big day so that any redness caused has calmed down. A good body exfoliator may be used all over the body the day before and a firming body cream applied.

Most brides tend to favour a natural look to their make-up but this is entirely a personal choice and whichever look is decided upon the lasting effect and success in the photos will depend on the way the make-up is applied so the choice of who applies it is key. Whatever the look I would suggest the bride taking to the event(or getting mum to take) some cotton buds, face powder, lipstick and gloss so that quick repairs can be made prior to meeting one's guests at the reception.
