How to Keep Great Looking Hair for Guys

Several of my clients, and many of my favorite actors as well, always manage to impress me by consistently looking great. George Clooney, for example, always looks perfect (except when he's performing a role which requires him to look like a mess). Will Smith is another great example of someone I think always looks stylish. How do these guys do it? Follow my tips on how to keep great looking hair for guys.
From the neck down, a great wardrobe is essential. Some guys just have a natural eye for putting things together. For the rest of us there are some wardrobe basics that we must learn and incorporate into our daily lives. Taking a little extra time to pay attention to detail is important in maintaining a consistently great look -- even when dressing down.
From the neck up, there are ten basic rules every man should follow to stay looking great.

1. Find a good barber or stylist. It's important to establish a relationship with the person who cuts your hair. A good barber or stylist will get to know you better and will help you choose a style that works for both your lifestyle and career.
   
   
2. Knowing how to make the most of your salon visit is also crucial. Familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of the salon and learn to communicate with the person cutting your hair.
   
   
3. Visit your barber or stylist regularly. For shorter styles, never go more than three weeks between trims. If your hair is longer, you can wait a bit longer between visits. A good rule of thumb is this: You should never look like you've just had a haircut. When you leave the barber's chair, if there is a white line on the back of your neck, you've waited too long. You may also want to check with your haircutter and see if they offer "maintenance trims." In my shop, we do a quick cleanup around the ears and a neck shave free of charge for regular clients. This is a fairly common practice.
   
   
4. Have a solid understanding of different styling products is also important. A good barber or stylist will take the time to educate you on the usage of product to enhance your look. Men will spend hours every week waxing the car, but few want to spend a few seconds putting a bit of product in their hair. I just don't understand that. Remember guys... if you think someone finds you attractive because your car looks great, you're sadly mistaken.
   
   
5. Use product ever day, no matter what style you wear. In the summer, I normally wear a crewcut or similar short haircut. Did you know that just a small dab of pomade can add shine and give even a buzzcut a more polished look?
   
   
6. Change your style from time to time. Keep just one step ahead of the trends. It's amazing how much more people notice you when you change your style a bit. One word of caution: Don't let a trendy style linger too long. The faux hawk was white hot in 2006, but if you're still wearing one today, you've become passe. The rhyme was not intentional.
   
   
7. While your stylist should help create a style that balances your facial features correctly, it is important to know how to choose the right style for your face shape and how the right haircut can balance facial features. Having this knowledge will help you make more informed choices when it comes to selecting a style and communicating with your stylist.
   
   
8. Learn the right way to shave. A red, razor burned face isn't doing your looks any favors. Most irritation can be prevented by using proper shaving technique. Invest in a quality shave cream and razor and take a few extra moments in the morning to pay attention to this critical step.
   
   
9. Pay attention to the scalp. A healthy scalp is key to great looking hair so take the time to learn how to care for your scalp so you get the best head of hair possible.
   
   
10. Keep everything below the neck well groomed, too. Not only should you keep your clothes neat and stylish, remember to groom the hair that grows below your neck, too. Of course, you're wearing clothes most of the time, but don't you want to look good for the times when you have to take 'em off?

Once you've mastered the basics and committed to spending enough time to pay attention to the details, you'll join the ranks of those who look great no matter what the situation. Of course, looking good also requires a healthy body and a healthy dose of confidence -- regardless of whether you're going for a trendy or conservative look.

How to Play Up Brown Eyes With Pale Skin

I recently got a question from a high school student in England who wanted advice on how to do her makeup for prom. Amii has pale skin and big brown eyes, she said, and wanted to know how to do her own makeup for prom. This was the advice I gave her. I suggest playing up your eyes since they seem to be your best feature. Apply a deep brown liquid eyeliner along your upper lashes. Pick out an eyeshadow palette that you like for your lids and apply the lightest shade on the entire lid up to your browbone, then take the darker shade and shade it into the  crease. Be sure to blend, blend, blend. If you want a stronger look, apply a pencil liner to the bottom lids and smudge the line with your finger so it looks most natural.
I like the way a white eyeliner applied at the inside corner of the eye makes eyes pop. That's a trick all the makeup artists use.
Apply a couple coats of dark brown or black mascara.
Make sure your brows are cleaned up, either with a professional wax or a tweeze. This will do wonders for your look. Too many girls make the mistake of not cleaning up their brow line.
I also strongly suggest playing up your pale skin with a pink blush. If you want to look "tan," apply bronzer on your forehead, cheeks and nose, all the places where the sun hits.
If you have oily skin, apply powder and keep blotting papers in your purse. These papers soak up oils without ruining your makeup. If you have dry skin (few teens do), sweep a moisturizer over your face before you apply the bronzer and blush. The dewy look is youthful.
Keep lips light so they don't overpower your eyes. If you want color, try a pink lip liner and shade lips in. The color lasts longer than lipstick. Sweep a gloss over lips and you're good to go.

Skin Whitening: Your Kitchen Holds The Ingredients

Anyone suffering from unwanted skin pigmentation or in need of skin whitening, is a prime target for the bloated cosmetic industry. Billions of dollars are spent annually on products that promise to remove acne scars, melasma, freckles, hyperpigmentation, skin discoloration, and other skin pigment problems. Some of these skin products produce promised results, some work just marginally, most don't work at all. But a hungry public, eager for a clean and radiant skin, almost obsessively continue to press their hard earned dollars into the hands of anyone posing a credible promise of solving their skin pigmentation and skin whitening issues.

Those who can afford it turn to Cosmetic Laser Therapy as an answer to their need for skin whitening treatment. Cosmetic Laser Therapy is rapidly coming into its own as a profoundly effective treatment for a wide variety of irksome skin pigmentation and skin whitening problems. But what about the rest of us? Cosmetic Laser Therapy is costly. So we're left with the beauty industry's overpriced and underperforming products. Interesting too, in this light is that like any good politician, the beauty business can always come up with a good excuse for why their product has failed- you! Your skin is the wrong "type" for the particular product, or you failed to follow the excrutiatingly detailed instructions to the letter, or...on and on ad infinitum.

And no cosmetic manufacturer will own up to the fact that even if his product formulations are theoretically sound and carefully crafted, they are still subject to the mechanics of marketing and its vagaries. It takes time to get a product to market. It takes time to sell it. Meanwhile the skin whitening ingredients deteriorate. More often than not, the product that leaves the cosmetic counter in the hands of its hopeful buyer is not the product it was a year ago when it was manufactured. This of course leads to a lot of disappointed and discouraged buyers.

As a result, many people with skin whitening issues simply throw up their hands and succumb to the lure of cosmetic coverups. These in themselves are far from cheap and do nothing to alter the underlying skin problems.

The solution to this dilemma lies no further than the kitchen or local supermarket. The same inexpensive natural ingredients used so liberally by the cosmetics industry are resting there inviting everyone with the know how to construct for pennies, the virtually life altering elixir they need to address their skin pigmentation and skin whitening issues.

Natural ingredients which remove dark spots and whiten skin are plentiful and readily available. Troubling brown spots on the skin can be quickly and easily removed with natural skin whitening ingredients. Skin pigmentation issues can be eliminated with natural ingredients. Remember, these are the same skin whitening ingredients used by the cosmetics industry. Fruits, vegetables, and certain animal products are super rich in antioxidants and other substances which whiten the skin when properly formulated and applied.

An added bonus to the use of these natural ingredients is that there are absolutely zero side effects. Anyone who knowingly suffers from a food allergy needs only to avoid those foods. There are plenty of substitutions that work; one as well as another. Skin whitening formula made in this way is always fresh with its curative properties available full force. Allergic reactions are eliminated, expense is kept to a bare minimum, and the skin nurturing properties of the fresh and natural ingredients are nothing short of miraculous.

So while the laser treatment option for skin whitening is available for those who can afford it, this is still not the panacea it is made out to be by its practitioners. Beside the cost, there are many possible side effects, inconveniences, and discomforts that are carefully downplayed. Meanwhile, equally effective, though somewhat slower treatment for many skin conditions can be otained by anyone with the initiative to take control by mastering the art of employing natural ingredients for treating skin discoloration and skin whitening issues.
