Whether you have natural blonde hair or artificial blonde, we all know that blondes tend to lack
moisture in their hair. If you are processing you hair to get your blonde, your hair may need more
care than somebody with natural hair. Lightening your hair strips your natural color alongside
stripping all protein and nutrients your hair produces. Don’t worry though, here are some products
that’ll help your hair.
Since the pandemic, we have all fallen victim to a botched at-home haircut or hairstyle.
But, 2022 is coming in hot and seems to be the year of experimentation. The 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and
2000’s are all coming back! This year is the year of expression. So, whether you’re debating
letting your gray grow out or dying your whole head bright pink, you should do it. Since this is
the year of expression, this means more people are embracing bolder haircuts, textures, and hues
like never before.
Even if you are 14 learning how to do makeup or 60 years old wanting to perfect doing your
makeup, anybody can do it. Applying your makeup should be therapeutic and enjoyable rather than
frustrating or intimidating. Eye makeup can be daunting but not impossible. Just like everything else in
life, it takes practice. To make sure you are set up for success you will need to right tools and techniques.
You are going to want at least one blending brush. If you want to stick with just getting one brush, be sure
to get a multi-purpose brush. You can ask the person at the makeup store to help you if you need it.
Before you get too excited and begin to apply any eye shadow, be sure to get yourself a good primer. A
primer is going to set in place your eye shadow so that it stays on all day regardless of eye rubbing or
sweat. If you lean towards having oily eyelids, you are going to NEED an eye shadow primer. Why put
on the eye shadow if its just going to crease up and come off a few hours later?
