egardless of the shade chosen, red hair requires intense and specific care to maintain the color, as it fades much faster than other colors. To begin with, pay attention to washing the hair, which cannot be excessive, as this removes the natural layer of hydration from the strands, leaving them drier, dull and even brittle.

Actress Barbie Ferreira bet on a classic coppery and deep red – created with various shades. For this and other types of red hair to always look beautiful and healthy, the ideal is to wash the strands only with cold or lukewarm water. High temperatures stimulate the strands to become more oily, favoring hair loss and leaving the cuticles open, which makes the hair opaque.

For those who have blonde hair, the transition to a light shade of red hair can be easier, bringing an aspect that the hair was naturally born in this color. Still, regardless of the shade of copper achieved, it is important to always use specific products for this hair color. That’s because, products for red hair have assets that help maintain the color for longer.

Forget the cherry red auburn shade! The tones of the moment are: natural red (which is chosen according to your skin tone), light red, orange red and even copper red (this one never goes out of style, right?). So, have you already chosen your shade of red for 2022?

Last year, due to the pandemic, we had to reframe the moments of self-care and well-being, thinking about the health of the body, mind and soul. With this, we decided to share some habits to include in the routine, which are ideal for moments of rest.

Pin

Every habit requires a few days of adaptation before it can be inserted once and for all into a routine. Studies show that we need 21 days practicing a certain action, before it becomes a habit.

Pin

1. Turn off screens at least 1 hour before going to sleep. The light from screens before bedtime is bad for our eyesight, but also for our brain, since exposure to blue light can affect your internal biological clock and alter your circadian rhythm.

2. Write about your feelings. Sometimes we can’t express what we’re feeling to another person, so having a little notebook, almost like a diary, can be a good alternative to pouring out your words. Before going to sleep, take a few minutes to reflect on how your day went and to relieve anxiety.

Pin

3. It may sound silly, but breathing deeply and slowly is a simple habit, but it helps with self-control when something seems off. The paused breathing communicates to our brain that it is time to relax. Notice: the feeling of well-being is immediate.

4. Take care of your body’s skin. Sometimes we focus only on skincare and forget that the body also needs some specific care, such as hydration and even exfoliation. Both are great allies for skin renewal and hydration. Exfoliation helps remove dead cells and improves the texture of the region, while the moisturizer restores the water lost by the skin, leaving it soft and silky.

So, what habits do you have in your self-care routine? I’m already getting ready for a complete relax moment before bed. Goodnight.

Celebrated on July 29, lipstick day has countless curiosities and, at each moment in history, it was seen and represented in a different way. With that in mind, today we came to tell you a little about the history of this product!

Pin

Pin

1. In ancient Egypt, men and women dyed their lips daily and that was synonymous of status!
2. Cleopatra loved to dye her lips, but unlike the lipstick we know today, she used flowers, crushed beetles, and even semi-precious stones to get her lips colored..
3. On the other hand, Greek women used a red root mixed with honey wax, which left the lips with a healthier and more moist appearance. Almost a balm, right?
4. During the Middle Ages, lipstick was banned by the Catholic Church as it was seen as immoral and a sin.
5. In the reign of Elizabeth I, lipstick was made with beeswax and vegetable dyes. The Queen was so fond of using the product that she simply ignored Church rules, and more: she launched a beauty trend from the use of lipstick. The skin should be as white as possible and the lips very red.
6. It was only in 1880 that the first lipstick – more like the shape we know – was launched and marketed by Guerlain!
7. Lipstick gained popularity after World War II, when makeup gained prominence in the movie industry and actresses such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor popularized lipstick. Soon, this product started to be used in different occasions.

So, what did you think of these curiosities about this cosmetic that is so present in our daily lives? Tell us in the comments: what is your favorite lipstick and shade?

The capillary schedule can be divided into three stages: hydration, nutrition and reconstruction. Each one acts in the hair treatment in a specific way and according to the hair’s needs. Check out how each step works and how to include them in your care routine, to leave your hair healthier, more beautiful and softer.

Pin

Start with the porosity test to understand what your strands need. For this, you will only need:

• 1 glass of water;
• 1 strand of your hair.

Place the strand inside the cup and see how it looks.

If the strand floats on the surface: you need hydration;

If the strand neither floats nor sinks: go for nutrition;

If the strand sinks: bet on reconstruction.

Pin

Pin

Hydration is responsible for returning water to the hair, flexibility against breakage and without that opaque aspect, leaving it softer, lighter, shinier, and without the dreaded split ends.

Pin

Nutrition is essential to protect hair against daily external aggressions, which end up causing dryness, frizz, and weakening of the hair fiber. Thus, it is responsible for replenishing the oils that protect the hair, making the cuticles aligned and closed.

Pin

Reconstruction is ideal for replenishing hair protein for those who have had chemical processes on their hair and lost hair mass. Are your strands brittle and thin from the use of hot tools, coloring or bleaching? Then this step is especially suggested for you, as it leaves your hair fuller.

Pin

The capillary schedule is suitable for all hair types and what changes from one to the other is the sequence of types of masks used on the day of treatment. Oh, and it’s essential to take a break of at least 48 hours between one treatment and another, so it doesn’t overload the strands and the actives effectively penetrate into the hair.

Pin

Now we want to know: were you already following a capillary schedule or would you like to try it out?

Obviously the thought of applying sunscreen to your entire scalp and each strand of hair seems unrealistic, but luckily there are a ton of product options that take care of this for you (without making your hair and scalp greasy). To protect the scalp, you’ll want to look for ingredients like avobenzone, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide, which block UV rays. Antioxidants and plant-derived oils like sunflower seed oil also help protect the scalp and hair from harmful rays by blocking free radicals. Below are a few products that minimize the negative effects UV rays have on your hair and scalp, and some even help detangle and absorb excess grease as well.

But what is there to do when insomnia strikes?

Insomnia can be caused by a myriad of things, from caffeine to alcohol to medications to allergies and back pain (which makes getting to the root of the problem somewhat difficult).

Luckily there are many natural sleep remedies to help you relax and drift off when you’re having one of those restless nights. Below are 6 of the best (and easiest!) solutions to combat insomnia naturally and help you get the sleep you need for optimal health.

Aromatherapy: Scents like lavender and valerian are known for their relaxing properties, so adding one of these essential oils to a diffuser or humidifier before bed is calming.

Meditation: Whether it’s practicing stillness, mindful breathing or some light yoga and stretching, meditation in any form helps clear your mind and put your body at ease.

Journaling: Writing down your thoughts in a notebook or journal before bed is a great way to empty your brain and create room for rest.

A hot bath or shower: Warm water helps reduce stress, so a nice hot bath or shower before bed will put your body in relaxation mode almost instantly.

Tea: Warm tea before bed is ultra-soothing, and blends like Chamomile calm your nerves and promote relaxation.

Tinctures & Supplements: Taking supplements like magnesium or adaptogens like ashwaganda are known to reduce cortisol and help your body calm down. Tinctures like CBD can also be added to water or tea for a boost of relaxation.

1. Candles
2. Bubbles (or salts, or oils, depending on your preference)
3. Relaxing music
4. Good book

1. Candles: There’s something about lighting a candle to two that instantly shifts your mood—from the dim lighting to the fragrance. Try placing a few of your favorite candles around your bathroom and bath tub while drawing your next bath. Make sure to stick to one scent (maybe use one fragrance candle and non-scented for the others) so you don’t overwhelm your bathroom with too many different smells, and light them before you sink into the tub (we’ve all made that mistake at least once). Le Labo and P.F. Candle Co. have intoxicating fragrances if you’re in the market for a new candle, or check out our previous post on the best non-toxic candles for additional brand recommendations.
2. Bubbles/ salts/ oils: Depending on the texture you prefer, you can add either bubbles, bath salts, or essential oils to your water (or a combination of the three!). For the most relaxing effect, choose one of these with aromatherapy benefits—the most calming scents are lavender, chamomile, vetiver, and neroli. Bath salts like epsom are great for alleviating muscle soreness, while oils help moisturize dry skin, and bubbles are just fun. If you have sensitive skin you may want to avoid bubbles, however, as most strip away the skin’s natural oils and can cause irritation.

3. Relaxing music: Turn on something that helps put you in a calm mindset, whether that’s classical music, meditative sounds, or your favorite playlist. Podcasts are also a great way to open your mind while laying in the tub.

4. A good book: Getting lost in your favorite book will always take you out of your own mind and body for a bit, so why not do so while laying in a hot bath surrounded by your favorite things? If you’re new to baths and trying to get into the ritual a good read can also help pass the time if you’re prone to feeling antsy.
