5 Key Ways to Find Your Own Style

The shops and fashion shows full of the latest trends are often confusing to find our own style. What is fashionable for the season or for the year does not determine your personal style yet. One should have the sense of his or her own style to choose clothes, haircut in a perfect way. There is no need to panic, as with simple and key ways it is possible to find out for you the personal style that fit you most. The article will indicate some of those basic steps you should take to feel confident and fashionable with the style choices you make.


The secret of being stylish and gorgeous is not about following all the fashion shows and brands to keep up with the latest trends; it is about matching the fashion to your own sense of style. To have own style, one does not need to follow any season or any trend, as it comes from within. Find out for yourself who you are or who you want to be, instead of being someone else. The answer to those questions will help you to be firm on what you want, gradually increasing your self-confidence and the belief in yourself. Most of the time it is easier to say, than to act; so, there are key steps to take for achieving your goal of looking both fashionable and fabulous.

Step 1. Check your wardrobe for the clothes you wear and vice verse. Most probably you will make a huge pile of clothes that you wear a couple of times during the year. Get rid of those clothes that can hardly inspire you when you are standing in front of the wardrobe with a sense that you do not have any clothes. Instead, fill your wardrobe with good choices by, for example, buying catchy pieces of cloths having a good quality.
Step 2. Erase your memories of your favorite clothes which are hanging in your closet for the 90s. It’s a good idea to pass them for a second hand use or to donate them an organization which will take care for the people in need of clothes to get your item and feel happy.

Step 3. Do not be a fashion slave; if the red mini skirt suits someone and it is a trend in fashion, it doesn't mean yet that it’s the same with you. Try to find the right way of being fashionable and stylish by keeping your personal style in match with it.

Step 4. Stay comfortable while wearing your trendy clothes. This doesn’t mean we one should keep in a boring style; it’s always good to keep the balance. Clothes you wear every morning should inspire you.

Step 5. At last, be original by adding to your style something of your own. Keep in mind that accessories like bags and shoes are of great importance to complete your wardrobe. Make sure that the items you choose are what you really want to wear, and that person wearing those clothes, it’s who you are, and not who you pretend to be.

Attire Tips for Men’s Interview


Most of the time the first impression on an employer is the visual one. One may have an impressive resume, reach in experience and qualifications, though the first judgments before the employer has a look at your resume, is how you prepared yourself to impress him or her, how responsible and serious is your approach to the job you want to get. Regardless of the environment you are going to work, it is important how professionally you choose your attire to be for a job interview.

What is the best attire for a job interview? First of all, you should keep in mind, that the candidate who is wearing his elegant suit will have a much better impression on the employer, than the one in his casual jeans and T-shirts.
It is important to find out the kind of company you are going to work. On this regard, we differentiated between professional interview image and less formal interview image. As mentioned above, the professional interview attire requires a suit, with all of its components; shirt with long sleeves, a tie, belt and shoes of dark color, dark socks. The solid color for a suit can be the gray one. The perfect shirt color with the gray suit is the white one, which is a perfect choice for a professional interview. Component accessories to the interview, like portfolio and briefcase give you the image of a person who knows what he wants and is ready for a higher job position. 

There are a number of ‘Don’ts’ one should follow to avoid failures; no jewelry is recommended during the interview. In case you feel like it is almost impossible for you take off the ring on your finger that you are wearing for more than ten years, it is still fine to have it; little jewelry will do no harm yet. But what about the piercing on your eyebrow? Or the big round piercing down in your ear’s pumped part? For you, your tongue or lip piercing may be perfect. Be sure that not all employers are fond of your favorite style accessories. Accordingly, for an hour or two, you have better to leave your small piercing friends at home, if you do not want to frighten the potential employer.

The same is with body tattoos. In an interview, especially the professional one, it is a must to cover any visible tattoos on your body. In this regard, long sleeve shirts are of great help. Button it till the end  of the neck, as well as the sleeves till the whistles. You may never know whether your conservative employer will find your tattoos to be stylish or will feel filthy while looking at them. 

Take care that you have removed even the tiny scruff on your face. Surely, it is fashionable nowadays to have it on the face, but during the interview the perfectly shaved face will give the impression of your being an accurate and responsible person.
Things like gum, cellphones, coffee or soda are to be avoided during any kind of interview. It is understandable that nowadays it is almost impossible to step out of the house without a cell phone. It’s simple; you take it with you and put it into mute mode (the vibration mode will cause you additional disturbance).

Even before they called you for an interview, it’s preferable to have all the important clothing for it. After you have everything on the side, keep your clothes ready the day before (this will save you time and help you to avoid being late). Make sure your clothes are clean, and the shoes are polished. Freshen your mouth and breathe with mint before entering the building.

The skin of the scalp produces sebum under the surface of our skin, which makes hair and skin elastic, shiny and smooth. This is a natural hair conditioner that the body produces to protect the skin from dirt and hair from falling out. The pores on the scalp of the scan are those small holes, from where the hair grows. Through those tiny holes, the body produces sebum, which sometimes can be too much leading to discomfort and undesirable consequences. There are a number of reasons causing too much sebum production; wrong care of the hair, usage of inappropriate hair products, diet, stress, and many more.
Regardless of the fact that the oil on the scalp comes out inside the body, and it’s  an inner problem to deal with, one should also treat it from the outside surface of the skin. So, these steps below are indicating some key ways to treat it.

1.       To balance the sebum production, you need to use dietary supplements like rosemary and sage. This will help to reduce the sebum production, with giving space for the body to promote. The volume helps to avoid greasy looking hair.

2.       Back in 1950s and 1960s, it was practical for many people to use beer for treating oily hair. The popularity of washing hair with beer decreased with the mass production of hair treating products. The advantage of washing hair with beer is that it’s a deep cleanser and helps the hair to grow and become thick. The alternative treatment can be the applying of a lemon juice.

3.       While choosing a shampoo product, the preference should be given to the ones that contain sulfates. Sulfates are good for deep cleansing. This kind of shampoos will help to cleanse the dirt from the hair and the skin  without removing the vital moisture which is important for the body.

4.       As an external treatment to avoid oily hair, can be the use of baking soda in your shampoo. You should apply the shampoo with the baking soda every three weeks.

5.       Nowadays, hairstyles like ponytails or chignons are a perfect match for this kind of hair. Moreover, you may slick back your hair, which is a trend in hair fashion nowadays.

Regardless of these hair treatment key methods above, each person may need individual treatment. One should check out different ways to find out the needs of the body and the way it should be treated. If none of them works, it’s recommended to turn to dermatologists.

Tips to Choose the Right Haircolor


Hair coloring or dyeing is the process of changing hair color which includes treatment of the hair with various chemical compounds. 
Hair coloring comes from ancient times when plants were the only means of hair dye. The most popular plants of hair dyeing are henna, senna, turmeric, alma, indigo, Cassia obovata, red ochre, leeks  and black walnut hulls. Chemical hair dyes  became popular in the 19th century. Nowadays a multibillion dollar industry stands for hair dyeing which includes both synthetic and plant-derived dyes.
 The main types of hair coloring are:

    Highlighting, hair is colored with lighter streaks to make blonde colors.
    Lowlighting, hair is colored with darker hair steaks.
    New methods of hair dyeing such as ombre  where hair becomes lighter towards the end, or splash lights where a horizontal band of hair color differs from the left from ear to ear.
The following application techniques can be used for these coloring procedures:
    Foiling, when the pieces of foil are used to separate the coloring sections of hair.
    Tipping, dip-dyeing, or balayage, when some hair sections are colored and foil or plastic films aren’t used.
    Cap, tightly placed on the head and strands pulled through with a hook.
All types of color can be applied with these application techniques. Sometimes the hair needs to be bleached for highlights.

There are four widely used classifications of hair coloring which include permanent, temporary, demi-permanent and semi-permanent coloring. Permanent hair coloring is achieved only with the use of oxidation dyes and temporary coloring is available with rinses, gels, foams, sprays, and shampoos.
Here are some useful tips how to choose the right hair color.

1. Observe your skin type. If your skin is olive, darker hair colors best suit you. Lighter hair color may seem fake.  If your skin is pink use ash tones to neutralize your coloring. Any hair color suits pale skin. . In case of yellow hues, deep red and dark brown are safer than yellow, gold, and orange tones.

2.    Observe the clothing that best suits you.
    If orange, yellow, golden, red, rust or olive green suit you more, warm hair tones such as golden blonde, brown, strawberry blonde and auburn suit you more.
    If fuchsia, black, pine green or bluish red suit you more, cool hair tones such as ash blonde, brown, burgundy and platinum suit you more.
    If charcoal gray, teal, periwinkle, purple or red suit you more, neutral tones like beige blonde, sandy blonde, mahogany, chocolate brown  suit you more.

3.    Observe your eye color. People with brown, green or hazel eyes look more natural with warm tones of hair color such as gold, red and auburn shades. People with blue or gray eyes look more natural with cooler tones such as light gold or ash.

You must be aware of the side effects of hair coloring before you change the color. Though coloring effects on hair, very much, the initial condition of the hair matters a lot.
Here are some popular side effects of hair coloring:

    Bad quality. Many people prefer cheaper hair colors and mostly it affects the hair quality. So, avoid saving money when buying a hair color.
    Over treating. When the dye or the color is left on the hair much longer than it is needed,  it will affect the hair badly.

All You Should Know Before Making Dreadlocks



Locks, dreads, or just dreadlocks are mostly related to Rastafari movement, but many other ethnic groups all over the world have also worn dreadlocks.

When reggae became mainstream and popular in ‘70s, dreadlocks became an important fashion statement. Many actors, authors, rappers appeared with dreadlocks. Nevertheless locks are not always worn for religious or cultural reasons. People may wear dreads only for style which is very popular among the youth nowadays.  Even some fashion brands create collections inspired by Rasta and Jamaican style. In the West dreads have become popular among subcultures as hippies, punks or Goths who usually wear artificial dreads made of synthetic hair.
Reasons of making dreadlocks can vary accordingly. Spiritual or religious convictions, a political statement, ethnic pride or just a fashion preference can be the reason of making dreads.
There are many misconceptions about dreadlocks as the person with them don’t wash hair. Most of the dreadlocks need to be washed twice a week. One of the most popular misconceptions is that if one is eager to have nice dreadlocks combing is forbidden, or only black people can gain nice dreads due to their hair texture.
They are matted of hair coils. Because of the wide variety of different hair textures, there are many methods of making dreads like hair backcombing, wool hat rubbing, dread perming, twisting  or the easiest neglect method. They all have both advantages and disadvantages.
Backcombing. This process reaches maturity faster than other methods The shape and the size can be controlled, so you choose from thick and smooth to thin and attractive. But it takes much time and intensive work.

Wool hat rubbing. The advantage of this method is that you can start making locks if you happen you have something wool and you can make it yourself, but it hurts much and hair usually  needs to be cut after trying. So you have to grow out your hair enough before cutting.
Neglect. This method is the easiest and doesn’t need any special products or tools. But it takes at least three years to gain such dreads.
Dread perming. It’s like instant dreads, but it’s a chemical process and usually requires professional maintenance.
Twisting. It’s a natural method and you can choose the size and the formation of your locks. They cost lower than dread perming. But this method works only in African textured hair or Caucasian hair.

How to make dreadlocks at home
All you in for making dreadlocks is nothing more than a lot of patience and dreadlock wax.
Start with clean hair. As the natural oils make your hair slippery, it’s better to start with freshly shampooed hair. Conditioner and other  products must not be added after shampooing and the hair must be fully dry before you start.
Your hair should be sectioned into squares. Each of them will become a dreadlock. You decide how large or small the dreadlocks to be. Wide-toothed comb is needed to part your hair. For more natural look, the squares must be fashioned  in a zig-zag or brick lay format.
The hair sections must be backcombed. Place the comb in the section of hair and tease it down to your scalp. This process must be done several times. Each dread should be backcombed with the same care and patience.
Secure the dreadlocks. Each dread should have two rubber bands, the one next to the scalp and the other securing the end.
Wax the dreads. To keep your dreads from fizzing or fraying, tightening gel or a natural dread wax must be used. The whole stand must be covered with a wax or gel; the lesser, the better. The waxing process needs to be done every 2-4 week.
Dreadlocks require time before they are completely matured despite the hair texture or type. The locking process is a continuous process; the hair continues  to form tighter and tighter knots, the base of each lock continuously follows the pattern that is the more mature sections of the lock.
