Back to School Girl Hairstyles

With back-to-school approaching soon, teenagers, everywhere are looking to get the hottest styles and newest looks with their clothing, make-up, and of course, hairstyles. Here are three hot looks for your trendiest teen!

1. Long and Loose hairstyles for girls
Celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Carrie Underwood, and Vannesa Hudgens are now setting the trend of having ultra-long hairstyles. These three girls usually have their hair styled in a loose, long, and curly. However, for special events the best hairstyle is to have the uppermost sections of the hair pinned up in order to have an unswept look. To enhance the curls, it is advisable to scrunch the hair while drying the hair.

2. Short hairstyles for girls
Rihanna has started to popularize short hairstyles this year. Such hairstyles will make your little girls stand out without even looking boyish. Short hairstyles such as crops and layered bob will be a short hit. A lot of girls loved the short bob especially those who have thin hair. This hairstyle will give depth and volume to the hair making it look thicker. For those who have round shape faces, having a hairstyle in medium length is recommended. For those girls who do not want to spend much time maintaining the hair, choosing short hairstyles will suit them better.

3. Up-Do hairstyles for girls
It might give a perception that up dos are just for formal occasion. In reality, up dos are not. You can still look an average girl going to school with an up do. It is more of choosing what variation or style that you like best and represent more of you personality. Wearing a messy up do like a braid or even as simple as a ponytail that will make you look good or not. To give you a dramatic appearance, you is through having a side-swept style ponytail.

Whether your hair is short, medium length or long, the choice is definitely yours on what hairstyle to wear in going back to school. The bottom line is looking at your best with less effort.

Best Foods for Healthy Skin

According to Dave Zinczenko, there are 6 foods that will help you have healthier, glowing skin. Of course, genetics and caring for your skin have something to do with it, but the facts are – what you put into your body directly impacts how it looks on the outside. Mr. Zinczenko suggests the following foods to help make a better ‘you.’

1. Salmon: It’s among the world’s greatest sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Those are the essential fats that, along with bolstering the cognitive powers of your brain, concentrate in the walls of your epidermal cells to help lock in moisture.

2. Carrots: Carrots are teeming with tiny orange pigments called beta-carotene, and when you ingest those pigments, you’re inviting them to nestle into your skin, fill in blotches, and give you a healthy glow. And what’s more, research shows that this can actually help prevent premature aging from sun damage.

3. Avocado: People with higher intakes of olive oil had fewer wrinkles than people with higher intakes of butter. The reason: Butter is loaded with saturated fat, while olive oil is rich in monounsaturates, the same essential fats that make up more than 50% of the calories in an avocado.

4. Beans: Legumes, to be more precise. This is the class of plants that includes black beans, chickpeas, lentils, soybeans, and peanuts. And how do these puny pods protect your face? By smoothing out wrinkles. Researchers found that high intakes of legumes—alongside vegetables and healthy fats—resulted in 20% fewer wrinkles over time.

5. Grapes: Besides providing protection from heart attack and stroke, antioxidants called polyphenols found in grapes can also help keep middle-aged skin from sagging. That’s because polyphenols improve skin’s elasticity by strengthening collagen, the primary protein in skin’s innermost layer.

6. Water: It is the strongest weapon you have against lifeless skin. That’s why they call it “moisturizing”—because you’re trying to lock moisture, aka water, into your skin. To put it broadly, all the body’s processes rely on hydration, so if you’re not sipping throughout the day, you’re likely to have a slower metabolism, groggier head, and, yes, drier skin.

Rich Solid Colors: Last year, many women found themselves streaking their hair with blonde and drastically changing themselves to be a blonde bombshell. Welcoming warm tones with an all over solid color is a classic look.

The Ponytail: Whether accessorized with a headband or incorporated into bangs, the ponytail has been carried over from last year to remain one of the top hairstyle fashion tips. The trend can be taken from casual to classy in a matter of seconds!

The Bob: From Victoria Beckham to Katie Homes, The Bob is still a popular haircut. New classic looks to The Bob are increasingly popular and offer a sheer look of determination.

Luxurious Waves: Great for an evening or daytime look, long luxurious waves are the perfect way to attain a more mature, sophisticated yet trendy look. Have fun with this trend and be sure to accessorize.
