Hair Care for Men

Posted on by Ann Mumbi

How well do you take good care of your hair? most men are not that knee to take care of their hair below we have listed few tips for men hair care.

Given that hair is technically dead, it’s surprising how much it requires to look its best. And it’s not just the actual strands that need care and attention the scalp does too. Now the question is how can you deal with problems like greasiness and breakage.

Hair care for men,simple but effective way to carter for your hair as a man

Apply Shampoo To Dry Hair To Remove Wax
The best way to deal with wax is to apply shampoo to dry hair and rinse, then follow this with another application of shampoo. You’ll find that this method helps to breakdown the product and leave hair clean. Pat Dry, Don’t Rub men tend to think that the harder we rub our hair after washing the quicker it’ll dry. Doing this will just cause breakage, hair tends to be weaker when wet so don’t rub too hard.

Keep It Cool
Wherever possible you should allow hair to dry naturally. Or change the hair dryer setting to low. If using a dryer, don’t overdo it, as this will leave the hair frizzy and damaged, set the dryer on the cool mode. It might be a bit more time-consuming, but it’ll help keep the hair in good condition.

Manage Your Fro
like all types of hair, afro locks come with their own unique set of requirements. You must always invest in an afro comb or else grooming will be very painful, an afro comb’s teeth are specifically designed to detangle large clumps of curly hair that no other brush or comb can. We also suggest using a conditioner at least once a week to lock in moisture.

Carry A Comb
Here is a cheeky hair tip for fellas always carry a comb with you, in the event of a hair crisis, most styling products can be reactivated by wetting a comb and running it through your barnet to re-style.

Protect Hair When In The Pool
Chlorine chemically bonds with the proteins in the hair and causes the cuticle to lift, which makes hair dry, brittle and dull, to minimise chlorine’s effects, we recommend wetting hair thoroughly with clean water before swimming, as this dilutes the chemical. Or try applying a small amount of conditioner before diving in.

Benefits Of Castor Oil For Face
1. Beautiful Luscious Lips
Ever wanted soft, smooth and beautiful lips? If yes, the solution to your problem is none other than castor oil! It will hydrate your lips and add the smooth and plump look you have always wanted. Always take one teaspoon of castor oil and apply all over your lips before going to sleep. You may also do it the first thing in the morning. It is cost effective and a much better option as compared to expensive lip balms.

2. Fuller Eyebrows
Most of you have often complained about your eyebrows. Some of you might even think they are not dark enough. But when you have castor oil at home, that problem will be taken care of as well. If you cleanse your eyebrows with a bit of castor oil on a regular basis, there is no doubt you will feel a difference. It’s best to carry out your beauty routine at night. The results are always better.

3. Cleanser

If you haven’t added this to your beauty routine, then do so right away! All you have to do is take a few drops of castor oil on a piece of cotton ball and apply all over your face. This will also prevent your skin from having breakouts and removes all impurities found in the pores. Once you have massaged your skin, always wash your face with lukewarm or cold water.

Ajuma Nasenyana Kenya Model

Ajuma Nasenyana Biography

Nasenyana is a fashion model born in the town of Lodwar, situated in the Turkana District of Kenya.

Her first foray into modeling was in the Miss Tourism Kenya competition in 2003, where she was crowned Miss Nairobi. It was through this competition that she came to the attention of Lyndsey McIntyre of Surazuri Modeling Agency.

Soon afterward, Gamma Photo Agency came to Kenya to do a story on McIntyre’s scouting work and were so taken with Nasenyana that she became the main feature of the story; which later ran in France’s Gala magazine. The pictures taken were compiled into a portfolio and presented to international agency Ford Models, who entered her in Ford’s Supermodel of the World competition.

In November 2003, Nasenyana traveled to Europe to build her portfolio prior to the Supermodel finals in New York City. She soon signed with agencies in London, Italy, Austria, Spain, Ireland, Canada and Sweden.

Nasenyana participated in the New York Fashion Week alongside Naomi Campbell and Alek Wek for designers such as Baby Phat and Carlos Mienes before traveling to Milan to model for fashion houses such as Ungaro during the Italian Fashion Week. Paris was the final destination during the winter show season and British designer Vivienne Westwood made her the lead model in her show.

Since then, Nasenyana has shot several magazine editorials, a video for Lacoste, and a catalogue for Issey Miyake.

In 2011, she was also named AFI African Fashion International’s, Africa Fashion Week Model of the Year 2012.

Besides modeling, Nasenyana has decried the apparent trend in her native Kenya toward rejection of the indigenous Black African physical standards of beauty in favour of those of other communities. In an interview with the Kenyan broadsheet the Daily Nation, she stated that “it seems that the world is conspiring in preaching that there is something wrong with Kenyan ladies’ kinky hair and dark skin[…] Their leaflets are all about skin lightening, and they seem to be doing good business in Kenya. It just shocks me. It’s not OK for a Caucasian to tell us to lighten our skin[…] I have never attempted to change my skin. I am natural. People in Europe and America love my dark skin. But here in Kenya, in my home country, some consider it not attractive.”

As a remedy, Nasenyana has contemplated launching a cosmetic and natural skincare line for women like herself. She hopes that her products will inspire her contemporaries to love their own appearance instead of attempting to alter it through artificial means, such as by skin bleaching.

Vault Beauty Products

Posted on by Oscar Alochi

Don’t ask for just one measly product this year: put a vault on your wish list! A beauty vault is a big collection of products that’s often limited edition. Some especially enticing choices come out during the holidays, so we curated a list of our favorite options. Whether you’re big on lipstick, skin care, or eye shadow, there’s something out there you’ll fall for. Take a look at these hot ticket packages and get them ASAP. They never stick around for long!

 

The holidays are all about indulgences. Consider the amount of mulled wine, cookies and eggnog we inhale during the season.
Guilty gastronomical gorges aside, the holidays are also for treating our loved ones to things they wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves. If you want to bring some serious festive cheer to the beauty-obsessed on your list, consider giving makeup vaults this year.

Vaults aren’t simply your run-of-the-mill, limited-edition holiday beauty launches. They’re bigger and bolder than palettes and they even take beauty kits to the next level. Vaults are the splurge-worthy gift for someone who has been really, really good this year. (And you can include yourself in that.)

They often contain a huge selection of products, giving beauty lovers ample opportunities to experiment. With so many options, there’s no need to be concerned about choosing the most flattering colors because the vault likely includes them all. And beauty vaults don’t even require wrapping thanks to their chic packaging.

Jackie intentionally crafted Vault cosmetics with this forethought and focus. She has developed an extensive range of fresh formulas and stunning colors designed to give a natural look to anyone who dares to indulge in their image, beauty, and inner vault.

Best Nail Polish Color to Wear and Trends

Posted on by Ann Mumbi

Nail trends by the seasons are pretty predictable: soft watercolors for spring, candy-hued brights for summer, and moodier reds, blues, and grays for fall and winter. But then there’s this kind of unique period between the holidays — basically Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day — where chic and sophisticated goes out the window in favor of red-and-green glitter and candy-cane stripes.

Thankfully, we survived… and we didn’t even fall victim to the tacky holiday manicure at all. In fact, we opted for a nail trend that’ll see us well into 2018. It’s fun, it’s festive, but it can also go subtle and low-key. It’s time to get reacquainted with shimmer.

BUTTERY BRONZE

This metallic hue is richer than rose gold and reminds us of an idyllic fall sunset.

MOODY OXBLOOD

You’ll see every shade of red under the sun this season (what with it being the “it” color and all), so save the smoky tones for your digits. (Short-nailed ladies, rejoice: Deeper reds make your nails look extra long.

VIVID AUBERGINE

If deep reds and pretty pinks aren’t really your style, try an eggplant hue instead. Think of it as a transitional color between summer’s vibrant brights and winter’s deepest shades.

NOT QUITE NUDE

Beige, caramel and toffee hues were spotted all over New York Fashion Week, just not on the hands that matched them. Pick a color that’s several shades darker or lighter than your skin tone for a refreshing take on a neutral mani.

SATURATED LAVENDER

Like a grown-up version of millennial pink, this is perfect for those of us who gravitated toward blush-colored manicures all summer long.

MILK CHOCOLATE

On a crisp autumn day nothing beats a warm cup of coco in your hands. Except maybe having that exact shade on your nails.

SHIMMERY MIDNIGHT BLUE

Be still our Lisa Frank-loving hearts; Essie named this fun-loving jewel tone Dressed to the Nineties. Let’s see how long the first bottle will last.

FOLIAGE INSPIRATION

Burnt-orange and deep-red manicures are both on trend, so why not combine them into one super color reminiscent of the changing leaves?

GREIGE

Somewhere between gray and beige, this neutral hue pairs particularly well with another one of our favorite fall trends: pastel outerwear. So feel free to use your manicure as an excuse to splurge on blush leather.

Great Collection for Nail Polish
