A hair conditioner is a must: To fight against monsoon frizziness, the best method is to apply a good conditioner each time you wash your hair. But make sure not to apply conditioner on your scalp but only on the strands of hair. This provides a shine to your hair and prevents them from breakage.

Avoid using hairdryer and hair styling: Ideally, it is always good to let your hair dry naturally. If due to some reason, you are using a hairdryer, don’t over dry as this will hamper your hair badly and leave them frizzy and damaged. Another advice that will help you maintain healthy hair is avoid hair procedures like perming or straightening as they may harm your hair adversely and make matters worse.

Use a wide-toothed comb: Dump all your round and flat hair brushes and instead use a wide-toothed comb in the monsoon season to allow less breakage and damage to hair.
Cover you crown: Love your hair? Then cover your crown ladies to protect your hair by avoiding stepping out when it’s raining-even if you are armed with an umbrella. Make sure to wash your hair thoroughly with a mild cleanser and use a conditioner thereafter, in case your hair gets wet in the rain.

Hair cut: Keep your hair trimmed and short during the season and avoid any hair cut that requires a lot of styling.

Stay hydrated: Drink ample amount of water and other liquids like coconut water and fruit juices as this will help your hair stay healthy and strengthen them from within during the monsoon season.

So, try these amazing tips for healthy hair that will leave you with a beautiful feeling to sail through this monsoon season.

• Use a wide-toothed comb or paddle brush on wet hair. Any other kind of brush will stretch the hair and damage it. This will cause frizz.
• Apply an anti-frizz serum to wet hair. Remember, sulfate free will always fight frizz better than those with sulfates.
• Air-dry hair, or use a plug-in household fan. If you use a fan, keep face about 6 inches away from the fan, and brush with a paddle brush. Fans create less frizz than blow driers, because they make somewhat of an “air-dome” around your head, and dry it all at once, whereas blow driers put a high amount of concentrated heat onto the hair, which causes frizz.
• Spray de-frizzing hairspray on the bristles of your paddle brush, and brush out the top parts of your head to stop frizz.
• Enjoy long-lasting, frizz-free hair!

That’s great if you have easily manageable hair, but for a guy who’s balding to sport a comb-over, or for a straight haired guy to sport a crew cut, is plain and simple bad styling. Here is a guide to basic hair styling for men with any type of hair. Identify your type and follow these rules to make sure your hair is styled right.

Thick Hair

If your hair is thick and has a slight wave in it, then you are lucky. This type of hair is easy to style and can be styled in many different ways if you put in a bit of effort into it. The styling mistakes most men make with this type of hair is to keep the length too short on the sides and too long on top. Use a bit of mousse to tame your hair and it’s sure to look good. But take care not to overdose on the products because this can also make you look rather foolish. When you go to get a haircut never let your stylist use a razor on your sides and back. Scissors will do the job way better.

Best Way to Style: When getting your hair styled, let it remain only slightly longer in front and on the top of your head as compared to sides and back. Or else keep it short and layer it all around. This can be styled with a bit of mousse and you’ll have your spiked, faux bed-head look ready.

Fine / Straight Hair

Very few men actually have fine and straight hair. Straight hair tends to get floppy so guys tend to cut it off. Instead enjoy your straight hair and grow it out a bit. Another big faux pas that men make is to wear it parted down the middle in a weird medium length. If you like a little length, then go for a length that covers the nape of your neck.

Best Way to Style: The classic cut that we suggested for men with wavy thick hair will also work well for men with straight hair. Another interesting style is to cut either medium length or short hair into layers that are uneven. Comb the front portion forward and the sides downwards and give it a tousled look.

Curly Hair

Curly haired guys are usually the worst at styling their hair. They either let their hair grow wild, or try desperately to tame it with innumerable products. This only makes it look like a like a helmet. Also a wild head of crazy curls isn’t the most endearing look to sport if you are looking to land a job or ace a promotion interview.

Best Way to Style: With curly hair, it’s best to keep the length short except maybe around the ears. Always use a little bit of mousse to comb it and then let it dry. Try a side parting if you can, or if you think this is too much work, keep your hair very short all around. This will give you freedom to try the spiky look.

Though this article has attempted to give you a few broad, basic tips on how to style your hair, don’t base all your hair styling only on this. Pay attention to your hair stylist and ask him/her questions, check out how your friends with great hair style their hair, and of course get your significant other’s opinion. Women tend to have a better understanding of hair styling than men do. Research in these matters always helps. So go ahead and prepare yourself for great hair days.

2. Matching Ties and Shirts. The solid-colored shirt with a tie of the same (or slightly-off) color was seen everywhere. This is now a somewhat dated look. Try mixing things up a little and experiment with colors. Ties are great way to express yourself.

3. Socks. The more official rule on socks is that they should match the color of your pants, though preferably not the exact same shade unless, of course, you are wearing black in which case it’s okay. Note: Although it should be obvious, white socks should be reserved for the gym.

4. Watches are the single most important accessory a man can own. I really suggest investing in one good watch that suits your lifestyle and taste.

5. Eyeglasses are one of the few ways you can really express yourself. They don’t have to just serve a function, but can enhance your overall look.

Sunscreen is more of a must-wear and less of an accessory in the summer, but some options for protecting yourself from UV rays include hats and sunglasses. Not only can glasses keep your eyes from sun damage, but they also can frame your face with an interesting shape or add color to your wardrobe. Frames come in a range of colors and metals, and lenses in blue, orange or multi-toned hues add another dimension to a look.

Hats from baseball caps to Panama straw toppers, they are always in fashion and wearing them on the beach and throughout the day have been increasingly popular as an old-school but new-style way to accessorize. Hats also help protect the scalp, top of ears and forehead, some prime locations for overdoing sun exposure. But do make sure that a sweat-stained cap with a sports-team logo can be less of an accessory and more of a lazy way to keep your hair under wraps, but a crisp, clean and solid-colored cap can make a look more polished rather than devil-may-care.

(2). Open and Closed Shoes

Flip-flops are part of the unofficial wardrobe of summer, although many contend that men should never wear them. But choosing a leather sandal, classic buck or derby lace-up is an option for completing a summer shoe wardrobe. Rubber flip-flops are fine for running around at the pool or beach, but a pair of heavier and more stylish leather slip-ons is worth considering when wearing dressier shorts and pants. Rubber and canvas flip-flops also can be a color focus for accessorizing, so picking up a red, green or blue pair in addition to standard brown or black is another option.

Derbies and bucks, on the other hand, can last years and even decades, taking on a style and comfort as they soften and shape to your feet. Rules about white, brown and black shoes and when to wear which color used to be pretty rigid and seasonal, but most anything goes these days. White bucks or black derbies can flow from May through September interchangeably in most social and even work situations.

(3). A Gadget

Maybe you check the time on your phone or read paper books and newsprint, but accessorizing with gadgets isn’t necessarily redundant. Picking a watch that reflects your lifestyle or draws attention for its fun functionality or design can pull your summer looks together. It’s also a way to give the impression that you aren’t tied to looking at your phone every few minutes while relaxing and soaking in the sunshine. It can be far easier to take furtive glances at a watch than a phone.

Other gadgets that aren’t exactly fashion accessories but complement summer looks and lifestyles nonetheless are e-readers and GPS navigators. Having a book at hand no matter where you land, even if on the water, and having navigation at the ready for aimless days accessorize your look by showing your readiness to relax or be an adventurer.

(4). Canvas belts

It’s just smart shopping when you find a great fitting pair of shorts or summer pants to pick up several pairs in different colors. But how can you make khaki, navy, black or white look less neutral? Adding a canvas belt in solid colors, stripes or patterns changes the look of the slacks or shorts and keeps them from stretching out and sliding down as the day and heat wear on and fabric starts to give.

Wearing the same few pairs is less obvious and feels like less of a redo when you can pair a bright canvas belt with olive green shorts and a white shirt one day and a neon orange or yellow belt the next. A belt in a more subtle color also breaks up bright clothes, so wearing a white one with bright red or bold-patterned shorts works, as well.

A good pair of shorts is defined by a certain set of characteristics:

• They end just above the knee.
• They don’t add excess bulk through cargo-like pockets – you want to create a good silhouette.
• They should not be too baggy or roomy. Again, it’s all about the shape and silhouette but, on the other hand, you don’t want them too tight. And never venture into budgie-smuggler territory off-beach (nothing in Britain constitutes as a beach.)
• Finally, remember that nobody has ever said the words “I see you’re admiring my cargo shorts.”

• If you want your legs to look longer: pointy-toed shoes will give you the illusion of extra height. A warning, though pointy-toed shoes may be uncomfortable if you have wide feet, so if that’s the case, save them for the special occasions only. No point in being miserable all night just to look good.
• If you have wide feet: round-toed shoes have a cute vintage look, and can be the most comfortable option for those of us with wider feet.

1. Curly or coarse hair probably wants frizz-minimizing and softening shampoo.
2. Straight or oily hair probably wants a gentle shampoo designed for daily washing.
3. Colored or treated hair probably needs a shampoo that’s fortified with extracts or amino acids, because treating your hair is essentially damaging it.
4. Dry hair probably needs shampoos with glycerin and collagen to help restore some moisture into the hair.

• Use conditioner depending on your hair type, length, and treatment damage: Follow these steps for conditioning your hair properly based on hair type:

1. For fine hair: If you have very limp hair, try a botanical oil treatment before you shampoo. Use lavender or tea-tree oil, for example, and work it under your cuticles before shampooing. Wash shampoo away and apply conditioner from the mid-shaft down to the end. Leave in for a minute before washing
2. For medium to thick hair, use a moisturizer with natural hydrators. Keep your conditioner light. Apply conditioner all over your head and let it stay for 2-3 minutes

Don’t brush your hair too much. Let hair dry naturally. Trim your hair regularly. Style your hair naturally, minimizing styling damage Eat healthy and give your hair the right amount of vitamins.

1cup of tea water (cooled down)

2 spoons of rice flour

½ a spoon of honey

The rice flour acts as a very good scrub and honey moisturizers the skin.

Method:

• Mix the above ingredients and apply on the skin. Leave it on till the mask dries completely for 20 minutes or more.
• Before cleaning the mask with water, make sure you massage the facial skin in circular motions, this is very important as it removes the dead skin and evens the skin tone.
• Then wash your face with cold water .This gives you a fairer and even skin tone.

1. Liquid eyeliner: liquid eyeliners are very bold and slick. They generally come in a tube with a brush that pulls out with the liquid on it. One needs a steady hand, and should apply by brushing short strokes close to the lash line. Start at the middle of the eye, directly above the upper lashes, and slowly brush across the lash line. Then, start at the inner part of the eye and continue to brush until you reach the middle of your eye that you began with.



2. Pencil eyeliner: This is the most commonly used liner as it is very easy to manage and control. Pencil eyeliners are just like any other pencil that you sharpen when needed. To apply, you simply “draw” on the line close to your lashline.

1. Gel/ Cream eyeliner: Cream eyeliners generally come in a pot that you can dip an angled brush, fine tip brush, or even pencil eyeliner in to get the product out. If you use a brush to apply, you will need a slightly steady hand as it is creamy and glides pretty easily.
