Hairstyle & Haircut Collection by Eva Conway


Natural Hairstyles



curly-afro_fullDerrick+Scurry.jpg When you are looking to attain a very nice natural hairstyle, there is definitely not one hairstyle that will work for everyone. The types of natural hairstyles that work best will depend a lot on what you look like and mainly your facial structure. The shape of your face plays a major role in what kind of natural hairstyles look the best for you. Some of the more popular facial structures would include shapes like hearts, ovals, squares, and very long and round faces. For each face, a difference hairstyle would be better.


For instance, if you have an oval face and this is what most people do have, you have a lot of options for your natural hairstyles because you can look good with short or long hair, wavy or curly, with bangs or without, and everything you can imagine. Your possibilities are endless if you have an oval shaped face.


Moving on, if you have a heart shaped face, this would generally mean that you have a rather tiny chin and a wide forehead, the concept would be to get a hairstyle which would balance it out by making your forehead look less wide and your chin looking wider. Something like a chin length Bob (without a whole lot of layers) or wavy curls could work best for this face shape.


Square faced shapes would work great with bangs, flowing layers, and maybe curly or wavy hair in certain cases as long as it is not done in layers. A round face is best with a full head of hair and long/straight hair as well going down the side so you are not making your face look any bigger than it already is. Having a long face, you would be best off with short to medium length hair and having it layered, off to the side, or possibly some bangs but you also don’t want to make your crown of your head any taller.


There are a lot of natural hairstyles and the right one for you just depends on the shape of your face so you figure out what needs to be balanced out and complemented correctly.

Celebrity Short Hairstyles



There are a lot of people out there who think that short hair is the worst choice because it isn’t feminine and also it is hard to live with because it can’t be changed. I feel like I have to let them know that having short hair is very advantageous because it is very easy to maintain and also it is very easy to change, because in the case of short hairstyles the smallest change might mean the biggest difference. To support this theory there are a lot of celebrities that have or had at some point short hair and they looked amazing with it.


The first celebrity short hairstyle that I would like you to know about is the one of Helena Christensen. At one point she had asymmetrical shag that looked funky but in the same time very sexy and trendy. To get the same hairstyle you should start by parting your hair on one side right after you come out of the shower. This is important because this way it will dry side parted. You should apply some texturizing mousse on your damp hair and let the hair air dry to enhance the natural texture that the hair has. Once the hair has dried you should put some styling wax on your fingers and finger comb the hair. This way you will achieve that messy and tousled look that she has, especially at the neck. The bangs should be blow dried using a round brush and you might also want to consider doing the same thing with the shorter layers to give them curve.




Hayden Panettiere also had a hairstyle that you might like. You should know that this works best with unwashed hair and to get it done you should start by applying volumizing mousse to the roots of the hair and then blow dry the hair back. Tease the top section of the hair to achieve the height that you would like. Then put some styling gel on your hands and smooth the hair on the top and slick it back at the sides as well. If you hair happens to be longer in the back, you could twist it in a bun or to pin it down in sections. Finish the hairstyle with hair spray to keep the strands in place.


We shouldn’t forget about Zoe Saldana either. To steal her look you should wash your hair the night before you want to wear the hairstyle, because the hairstyle looks better with slightly dirty hair. You should curl all the hair using a 1-inch curling iron. You should leave the curls in your palms until they cool and then apply hairspray on them. Repeat the procedure with every section. If you part the hair on the side you will get a more romantic look. You should do this before you curl your hair.




I hope that you will try these celebrity short hairstyles because they look very nice and you can get them done as well all by yourself.

African Jewelry



African jewelry, welcome the tribe!


Generally speaking about Africa, we can say that the arid continent preserved its ancient animist beliefs and archaic social structure formed by numerous tribes and small communities. Some postmodern estheticians affirm that our society tends to become more fragmental, resembling to African tribes, each one struggling for its own survival, so we would better take some lessons of Africa, at least in jewelry field.


Each region from Africa has its own specific: Ethiopia area suffered Christianity`s influence, so you will find here hybrid crosses; Nigeria` s people have been worshiping coconuts, obviously coconut became a major theme in their jewelry; others regions have a great respect for giraffes or mighty elephants. For every social important event, you will find some handmade item, such for wedding, purification ritual or burial. For African people, jewels are expression of human feelings or god`s thought, they aren`t worn “casually” as we tend to it in our European culture. Some religious jewels worn by priest are deadly forbidden to be even touched, because they are considered totem- a small part of divinity in man`s life.

Taking in account these minimal consideration, let`s take a quick glance to African jewelry available on jewelry sites (these are just a few models, if you travel through Africa, you will probably return with one big suitcase full of souvenirs).

Fingernails Design



To get a nice and neat manicure, you should give up weekly appointments at cosmetic salons. The methods used for natural fingernails care offer a higher guarantee, in a short time. To have beautiful fingernails, give up the habit of biting your nails when you are very tense. Moreover, long fingernails are not only unsightly but also unhygienic, and they can break easily.


Supplements of vitamin E strengthen and protect the nails. They will not be damaged when you wash the dishes or clean the house. It is recommended to file your fingernails in a flat oval shape. It will be easier to maintain them clean. Do not apply a thick nail polish. It can attack the nail, turning yellow and thin. If your lake is too thick, add a little solvent two hours before you paint your fingernails and keep it somewhere cool. Treat natural nails moisturizing them every night with essential oil obtained from avocado, carrot, lemon, rosemary and roses. Massage gently your nails for two weeks and you will regain the healthy and strengthened nails.



Nails are used to excess every time. Even if you do not realize, scratching using them in every small activity makes them become fragile and soft. Lack of calcium, deficiencies of keratin, and the fingernail fibrous protein, has various effects, such as fragility, and frequent breaks, and undesirable yellowing, which is the first sign of unhealthy nails. Low diet in calcium and protein, smoking, coffee or poor sanitation of utensils used in cosmetic salons can affect fingernails and favors the emergence of bacteria. The most common is paronychia, characterized by pain, swelling and tine unguis, which causes thinning hair and even nails. Dirty cosmetic tools can cause even the appearance of hepatitis, so pay attention to beauty manicure kits you purchase.



Detergents affect false nails and natural fingernails too, so do not use cleaning products without wearing rubber gloves. Detergents attack the nail angles fast and that is why it must be protected. Avoid manicures with long fingernails. The shorter your nails are, the healthier and strengthened they will be. Do not use your nails instead of a kitchen sponge. Avoid using the fingernails in opening sodas, envelopes, or in gardening.



These actions are not healthy at all, but if you still do such things, make sure to protect them properly. Hydrate your nails with a cream, especially after bathing or when you have finished general house cleaning. When infections occur on nail, try to keep the area dry. It will regenerate quickly without requiring cream, dressing and further treatment. Also, it is good to avoid nail salon techniques. Any gel or glue applied on your fingernails will attack the structure and such traumas will make the nails become fragile.


Fungal infection of nail disease is relatively frequent. Worldwide, 2% to 18% of the population has a fungal infection of the nail at a time. They are found more frequently among older people (over 60 years) and rare among children, occurring in less than 1% of children of different ages. Onycomicozes is a fungal infection (human pathogenic fungus) which occurs when fungi invade the fingernails or toe nails. Nails are more frequently affected at lower limb as they grow very slowly, leading to the development of mycosis. There are 4 types of fungal nail infections, of which the most common type encountered in over 90% of cases, is at the onycomicozes under nails.
