sort of protein (creature or plant based) is not recorded in the initial five
ingredients, it most likely won't do much to help your hair.

Secret #16
Go, And, Stay Natural
In the event that you chemically treat your
hair, and see a ton of breakage and damage, consider stopping the relaxers or
treatments altogether. Numerous ladies have rediscovered their natural texture
after so much hair straightening.
Figuring out how to function with your hair in
its natural state might take getting used to; most ladies don't know what their
natural texture is like because it has been permed since youth. While removing
all of your relaxed hair sounds like the exact opposite thing you need to do to
pick up length, removing chemically processed hair without a moment's delay,
rather than trimming endlessly as your new growth comes in, is the simplest
approach to get back to your roots. It also promotes less breakage and less
frustration in managing two different textures.
Secret #17
Moisturize
And
‘Seal’
Your hair may be dry, regardless of the fact
that you're using a variety of moisturizers in it. Oils and other moisturizers
that contain petrolatum, lanolin, and mineral oil don't saturate your hair
appropriately; rather, they seal moisture in or out of your hair. They ought to
just be utilized to seal the hair and add shine. Water-based moisturizers
correctly penetrate and moisturize the hair.
To battle dryness, apply your oil-based
moisturizer after rinsing the moisture treatment. Utilize a light oil
moisturizer taking after the utilization of a water-based moisturizer, to seal
the hair shaft.
Secret #18
Drink More Water
With regards to hair care it’s easy to
concentrate on just the outer. It's the same path with your skin — when you
have dry skin or hair, you search for the closest moisturizer.
Doing this just conceals dryness, which is not
the best approach to treat it. Saturate and nourish your hair and skin by
drinking plenty of water. You’ll see a great difference in both your hair and
skin when you make the commitment to drinking water every day.
Drinking
a glass of water is very important, especially before bed, and the first thing
in the morning. Water is the best secret-for optimal health, skin, and beauty.
Water also flushes toxins and controls weight.
Secret
#19
Scalp Massages
Massaging your scalp for 20-30 minutes for every day is an
awesome habit to get into. It gets blood stream flowing to the scalp and can
promote growth.
This may be particularly useful in the event that you have
diminishing edges from excessive relaxers or weaves. If your hair is not
permanently damaged, this could offer your hair some assistance with it growing
back.
In the event that you can't sit and do the scalp knead at
one time, do it a few times each day in smaller intervals.
Secret
#20
Don’t Get Discouraged
Hair that holds moisture, has more elasticity, breaks less
and holds more length. Dry hair is weaker, breaks easily and keeps you from
holding length.
There's a myth that kinky hair is stronger because it is more
course, however it's really the opposite. Kinky hair is more delicate than
normally straight or wavy hair as a result of the moisture issues covered
above.
So it's not about attempting to change your texture or
feeling discouraged because you don’t have a certain hair type. It's about
understanding your hair, nurturing it, and giving it what it needs so you can
have the length you desire. So be patient, have persistence, and continue to be
consistent.
I hope this book inspired you, and helped you
on your journey to accomplish your hair goals. Cheers, to long healthy hair!

BON CHIC, BON GENRE!
Secret #1 Good Style, Good Attitude
Bon chic, bon genre’ is an
expression used in France to refer to a stylish subculture, meaning ‘Good
Style=Good Attitude.’
The better you dress the better you feel.
(The
expression can also be shortened as ‘BCBG’ which is also known as the fashion
company BCBG Max Azria.) French style is to embody elegance, polish, and
minimalism. Parisian style also can be defined as ‘effortless’, and in no way
over-studied. In case you're aware of a Parisian woman in Paris, you'll see her
shoes are manufactured from exceptional leather, her jumper is of cashmere, and
her shirt is spun silk. French style is to be conscious of quality, and not so
much on quantity, while mixing and matching. It is about starting out with the
right pieces that you can mix and match to wear anywhere. And, not obsessing
about it. Have the poise to feel elegant yet slightly off beat, polished but
not glitzy, and self-confident enough to understand that the true meaning of
chic is very individual.
It's about the entire outfit running in unison as opposed to
tossing on random garments like a train wreck after which leaving the house. She
makes an attempt no matter how she feels. Parisians know how to ensemble
outfits in a manner which makes you agree that every piece is remarkable.
They don't dress down, and
they don't own hoodies, or visit the cafe in yoga pants. Parisians don't second
guess their fashion picks or ask for style critiques, they dress for
themselves.
Secret #2 Mix
& Match Without Many Embellishments
The first rule of French style is the focus on unique shapes and
patterns without many embellishments. It is about looking natural, and having
the allure of life.
Secret #3 Edit
Your Wardrobe
Perhaps, since because most Paris apartments don't provide an
extensive amount of space in the closet, Parisian style is very well edited to
consist of the most practical pieces to work collectively from head to toe.
Every element of the outfit is prepared to work as an entire. In Paris, you
won’t see ladies strolling around in lumpy parkas which hit their hip at the
incorrect location and does not do anything for the rest of their outfit- it’s
a completely meticulous way that every form or layer provides directly to
create the right silhouette. French splendor has a less is more mindset
that is not self-conscious. That means no long, garish fake fingernails, no
heavy powdery makeup, no over waxed eyebrows, no over bleached yellow blonde
hair, and no crispy hair gel, and no fake orange sun tan skin. In order for you
to achieve ‘French Chic’ you wouldn't need to put on something tight, like a
body con dress, or something that shows an excessive amount of skin.
As an alternative, go for looser apparel, with maybe a flash of
shoulder or ankle, and a waft of your preferred French fragrance ex. Chanel No.
5. Show a little skin, in surprising ways, like your back, or a glimpse the
shoulders. What you do see in terms of ‘French Chic’ beauty
are
plenty of gorgeous brunettes with simple, stylishly undone hair, natural
eyebrows, minimal appearing makeup with a “no makeup” feel, smoldering kohl
lined eyes, natural lip color and (or) a bold crimson lip stain all creating
the facade of better than natural, but still very approachable, confident, and
unfussed.
Secret #4 Posture
Matters
Here is the cheapest and easiest French Chic beauty secret that
you can steal, stand straight! There is not a better way to show off
self-confidence in your appearance than having perfect, erect posture and
presenting yourself with pride.
Secret #5 No
Brand Flashing!
Notably, despite the fact that Louis Vuitton is a French company.
You won't see many local Parisian women carrying LV baggage in Paris. So, no
brand flashing, while embracing French style. The iconic French woman is
robust, and is visible in lots of advertisements. She is the woman who cuts her
hair herself. She is subtle, sexy, with a combination of nonchalant,
self-assurance, mystery, and effortlessness. To Parisian ladies, going out is
just a matter of dressing up a bit.
Secret #6 Own
Your Femininity
They go out of the house to look presentable, and they don't try
too hard. French style is also about owning your femininity. This does not
suggest that you constantly need to wear a dress or a skirt. It just means to
embrace your femininity every day. Ensure that your hair is properly
conditioned and moisturized. Irrespective of what the style your hair is in,
because it will look amazing due to you taking great care of it. Make sure your
nails are manicured, neat, and shiny.
STARTING WITH THE BASICS
Secret #7
Neutrals Rule
Neutrals are the key palette when it comes to French style.
Parisian ladies tend to not wear a variety of colors. That is, barely any. If
they do wear it, it’s in accessories like their scarves, jewelry, shoes,
luggage, etc. You recognize stuff like that. The brightest they get is after
they put on some ivory or white, with perhaps a pop a burgundy. In any other case,
their color palette is pretty miserable to the general public. Here is the
Parisian color palette:
Black
Grey
Navy
Brown
White
Burgundy
Black is one the primary colors in
Parisian wardrobes (a lot like the Big Apple, which is probably why they may be
so frequently as compared to each other.) Grey is the
runner-up,
after which they use dark blue or brown as a color for leather-based fashions.
Fun, right? You can't live without a little frivolity, Incorporate color and
print into your accessories (although not all at once) Go for a fire engine red
lipstick, a pair of leopard print pumps with a sculpted heel, or an easy Hermès
tooth bracelet in your favorite color that pops.
Secret #8 The Basics
When choosing to dress ‘French Chic’ you’ll want to start with the
following basics:
A crisp white
blouse
(A white button down is a vital building block in anyone’s
closet, at least for the French. Opt for a linen or brushed cotton shirt in the
smallest size you can find, leave the tails half and simply roll up the
sleeves. Instant French-chic, and in and clothes you can move in. The same
white shirt also does double duty as an easy breezy cover-up by the pool when
the summer rolls around. And let’s face it; Who wouldn't want the best of both
worlds?)
A black skirt-ideally
knee length or A-line which is the most flattering
Fitted suit
jacket, blazer
(Look for structured shoulders, and keep away from sweatshirts or
something with a noisy label.)
A properly cut feminine leather-based jacket or biker jacket
T-shirts
(make sure they
consist of some with stripes-the
uber
chic long
sleeve striped top is effortlessly cool, and will preserve your heat on cool
Paris nights. Instead of opting for the classic black and white stripe layout
you could always go for striped shirts with a special color like pink or even a
vibrant blue.)
Tank tops
Lightweight
cashmere cardigans
(they don’t itch and are pretty versatile-they also go along with
skirts and pants, and they’re light enough to wear in the spring and summer
months. Tie-front cardigans are ok, simply
ensure
your
wear a white or colored camisole below them.)
An excellent,
nicely fitting pair of dark denim or stretch denim
(you’ll be able
to dress them up or
down
-Denim is a simple and
essential way to stay cool and modern in any season. The proper pair of cropped
denim that fits your frame is understatedly sexy, while remaining
sophisticated. Darker wash denim tends to appear more luxe and dressier than
lighter wash denims.)
A couple of
properly fitting black pants
- immediately creates a refined and assured
look.
A pair of elegant
comfy shoes in a solid color
A light trench
coat in a neutral color
(The trench coat has no question formed an integral part of the
Parisian wardrobe, it has great use and has the effortless ability to be worn
to any weather condition. Trench coats, pea coats, female leather jackets, and
cropped or outfitted blazers all give the appearance of chic without being
fussy.)
An awesome
quality bag
(Go for a luxe, quilted handbag, with rich fabric, and lustrous
hardware-A Chanel purse, in particular the vintage 2.55, consists of these
types of details in a single pretty package deal. In case you aren’t inclined
to break the bank for this well-known bag, use the simple bone shape when
selecting one most suitable for your lifestyle. A square or square formed
shoulder bag with glossy hardware and polished leather will add that Parisian
finishing flair you’re seeking out.)
Scarves in all
colors, styles, and sizes
(Keep reading to discover ways to tie
them
-Smart
add-ons like a neck scarf give a touch of ladylike appeal to any outfit. It can
be a fascinating accent that lets you play with some color, pattern, and print
in a small way that won’t overpower the rest of your outfit. Choose scarves
with the intention to pop in opposition to your minimalist look for a true
statement.)
Black tights, or
sheer natural toned stockings
(not leggings)
The proper undies
(comfortable and
preferably attractive if that’s feasible)
Sunglasses
(Oversized
sunglasses are always super chic-in the event that they suit your face shape,
it can be an easy way to work an accessory into your outfit in case you are not
a fan of the neck or headscarf. A tortoise shell print is vintage inspired,
especially if worn in cat eye form. Round formed sun shades generally match a
variety of face shapes, and a cat eye design is flirty and feminine, defining
the very essence of the city of Paris.)
Remember that it’s not always what
you wear, but how you wear it. Dress casual, yet simple and fashionable, no disheveled
sweats or oversized items of apparel. Same goes for something that’s too tight.
Fitted doesn’t mean tight. Don’t wear anything tacky or over the top.
Moderation applies to garments and add-ons too. A tailored cut equals a slimmer
silhouette. Parisian women also don’t over accessorize. As Coco Chanel once
said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one
accessory.”
