Winter Hairstyles for Men and Women
December 30, 20140 Comments
Winter is the season which does not go along well with your hair. Split ends, dry frizz, static electricity are some of the main problems your hair face in the winter season.

At this time maintaining your hair making it look good is a real task. I love my hair and reasons like seasons are not enough to stop me from playing with them by trying out different hairstyles :)

Today at Bling Sparkle I will be sharing some simple yet amazing hairstyles one should try out in winters and guess what? I have some options for men too! *Couldn't resist including these hotties in my post ;)*

For Women:
 Split ends need a check during the winters so make sure you chop them off... that's first step towards a happy hair season! Most of the beautiful ladies prefer short hair during winters, being a long hair lover I would never advise you to do that but can't agree more that it really helps if you are a working woman! The above hairstyle are best for a working day. That bun is not OTT yet pretty luscious at the same time! When your wearing you winter beanies then letting your hair down looks very pretty. The third hairstyle is pretty too. Short hair with hints of color are totally IN!
Be it summer or winter or for that matter any season, braids be the best! Nothing can beat the comfort level of braids. The above braids give you a gorgeous and funky look. Flowers simply add to the beauty of hair!
 For Men:
If you have curly hair, it's time to experiment and try crazy hairstyles! The messy curly mushroom look is totally hot.
The porcupine hairstyle never gets old! The above one has defined pokes which makes it even more appealing.
If you have extra silky hair I think you should go for the third cute boy look!

Comfort friendly men, the sleek hairstyle id for you. It's our hottie Leonardo De Caprio's favourite too!
Messy hair looks the hottest on men. The last two oh-so-suave looks are totally recommended! ^^

Tip: Do not expose your hair to harsh chemical products especially during the winters. Mix a little gelatin in equal amount of water and use it as a hair gel instead!

Wishing you all a happy hair Winter,
~Bushra

Simple Tips to stay hydrated this winter
December 07, 20140 Comments

We all love the cool weather and layering of clothes in Winters but this season comes with its own problems. Annoying flaky skin , itchiness, chapped lip all demand extra attention and to keep it looking smooth and hydrated .


Here are some tips to stay hydrated and glowing naturally in winter
Cleanse-Moisturize-Exfoliate- More Moisturize: The CTM routine needs to be rigorously followed in winter as skin types change and dry skin gets drier. But it is important to  keep the toning to minimum and exfoliate dead skin atleast once a week as exfoliating allows skin to absorb a moisturizer better. Also switch to a richer oil based moisturizer if your skin sitll feels dry.
Drink Water: Thirst does not come naturally in winter so it is important to keep reminding yourselves to drink 6-7 glasses of water daily to stay hydrated from the inside. Drinking coconut water also helps in staying hydrated and healthy.
Eat fresh Fruits: Adding water rich fruits like grapes to your diet is helpful when drinking water in winter can get boring. In addition to fruits even fresh fruit and vegetable juices can be taken to kep yourself hydrated
Warm Water Bath: It is freezing cold but having hot water baths will only cause harm to your skin drying the moisture. so opt for warm water baths. Apply Moisturizer after bath when your skin is still damp to lock the water in. Also make sure you use a good moisturizing soap and avoid shower gels in winter.
Apply Sunscreen: People tend to avoid sunscreens in winter and as a result the winter sun rays cause a lot of harm to skin. Apply a sunscreen with SPF 30 atleast 30 minutes before stepping out.
Lip Care: Lips get chapped in winter and require extra care. Use Chap sticks with Jojoba oil, vitamin E and Shea Butter to hydrate lips . Don’t lick your dry lips, it will aggravate the damage. Scrub lips with a lip scrub (honey+almond oil+sugar)  once a week and try using moisturizing lipsticks.

Stay warm
