Face Shapes...:::

Image
You can’t talk about beauty without thinking about the shape of the face. This affects our makeup, hair, and even clothing styles. Although each person has a unique face, there are generally seven face shapes. When you have your makeup, hairstyle, clothing and even accessories complimenting your face-shape, your appearance will be balanced and you will definitely look like the style was made for you and not something you copied off someone else. Adonmu is here to present you with several tips to enhance the way you look in relation to the shape of your face. The face shapes are: Oval, Square, Round, Triangle/Pear, Heart/Inverted Triangle, Oblong and Diamond.  There really is no such thing as “The Perfect Face”, knowing your Face Shape, helps get you that “Custom Made” look for Hairstyles, Makeup and Dressing. You need to remember that not all styles fit any face shape, thus knowing what fits your face shape is the key to having that balanced suited look. Thus we’ll pr...

Achieving Your Goals - Getting it Done

Image
5 minutes read The new year usually makes you want to set a target or resolution - something you want to do or a change you want to make. It usually starts off great but sometimes we drop it before the year is through, without accomplishing the goal.  Then, the following year you still find yourself wanting to do, create, have, give or experience that same thing, or even something bigger.

We direct our efforts towards the goals, and use them to determine our succes...

Understanding Your Hair

Image
Great hair is indeed possible, once you understand your hair. We all crave to have healthy, longer, shinier hair, so read on and be on your way to understanding what your hair needs and could do without. Basically, we have 2 types on hair on our body: Vellus hair which is found all over our body, on the upper lip and forehead. It is very fine and short hair which is usually not colored (un-pigmented, usually translucent) and doesn't grow longer than 2cm. This hair has just 2 layers: the cortex and cuticle. Terminal hair which is the longer, coarser, pigmented hair that grows on our scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits and groin. This hair has 3 layers : the medulla in the middle filled with air and proteins, the cortex containing melanin, and the cuticle on the outside. When hair emerges from our scalp it has about 6 - 10 layers of cuticle. The cells of the cuticle overlap  at about a 5 degree angle (looking like the tiles on a roof), pointing down towards the tips of the...
