Beauty Poetry

" A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its lovliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing."

By: John Keats

Poems on Beauty

Beauty is truth's smile
when she beholds her own face in
a perfect mirror.

Beauty is truth's smile
when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror.

Beauty is in the ideal of perfect harmony
which is in the universal being;
truth the perfect comprehension of the universal mind.

Fearne Cotton’s braidy bunch nails new trend at the Brit Awards

She’s always been among the first on television to showcase new trends and Fearne Cotton didn’t disappoint at the Brits with a beautiful braid straight off the catwalks for spring/summer 2010.

Alexander McQueen, Giambattista Valli, Margaret Howell, DSquared, Alexander Wang and Miu Miu all used braids in their shows.

Our favourites were at Valli, with superstar session stylist Orlando Pita going for loose French pleats and at Miu Miu where Rapunzel-long braids draped over one shoulder - simulataneously working the asymmetric look, too.

Fearne wore a false braid which beautifully mixed two colours of hair – you can buy clip-on pony tails or hair extensions at most department stores or at Topshop – wound into her own hair at the back.

Cleaning Remy Hair Extensions

Hair extensions do not receive natural oils from your scalp like natural hair. This requires some extra care when washing to ensure that one does not dry them out. As a rule of thumb, hair should be washed and conditioned every 3-4 days.

You Will Need:

• Soft bristle hairbrush
• Low pH/High moisturizing shampoo and conditioner
• Comb

The Cleaning Process:

1. Brush hair thoroughly prior to washing to remove any knots and/or tangles. Start at the bottom and gently work your way to the top being cautious not to pull on the hair.
2. Wet hair as normal.
3. Apply conditioner to the extensions prior to washing to help maintain moisture levels. Do not rinse.
4. Apply shampoo (on top of conditioned extensions) and wash gently.
5. Rinse thoroughly.
6. Apply moisturizing conditioner.
7. Rinse thoroughly.
8. Wrap hair in a towel and allow the towel to absorb moisture. Avoid rubbing the towel through hair to dry.
9. Comb carefully to work through any knots and tangles that may have formed while washing.
10. Allowing hair to air-dry is best. Never sleep in wet hair as this causes tangles.
