What Happened To Sedu Hairstyle?

The first part of your body that gives off an impression when you first meet someone is your face. But no matter how much your face is presentable and beautiful, it is still very close to some hair, hair that is framing that beautifukl face and can't get away from it. You know that the hair is a crown for every man and woman, so its best if you treat your hair as a royalty.

Having a beautiful and healthy head of hair boosts one's confidence and improves one's appearance so much so that it makes it easier to make a good impression on others. But too much bad chemicals and styling will damage hair, no matter how strong it is. You and your hair are now able to use the advancement of technology,ceramic hair irons and sedu that give great benefits.

Traditionally, hair care using hair irons was considered a no-no. For a long time it was thought that any hair care tool that emits heat to style the hair is a big nuisance and problem. The hair becomes easier to use and malleable because of the heat that comes from a ceramic flat iron, and this is the basic principle of work. But you have to know that the research showed that prolonged use of heating tools such as flat irons and blow dryers is causing damage to the hair.

It was learned that the hair over time got "cooked" by these heating processes and therefore rendered the hair unhealthy, unmanageable and unsightly. Our hair is made out of small things called follicles, and they look just like tiny scales. When the hair strand is healthy, the follicles are tight and closed, giving the hair strand a smooth and shiny feel and look. It is hard to style a dry and dull hair, but this is what happens when hair is unhealthy and lets all of its moisture escape through the follicles. And exactly this is the place where the hair irons come in to care about our hair.

The power of flat irons we have today is that they can manipulate our hair, by breaking down their structure and follicles with a little heat. To restore your hair to its natural original healthiness, you can utilize hair care using hair irons that are designed to break down your hair's molecular bonds by making it straight and fine again.

Want your eyes to look different? Halloween contacts will help you to achieve your goal. Find out which lenses are out there on the market and where you can get contacts that don't interfere with your vision and will make everybody’s head turn.

Color costume contacts - what aare your options?

There are two brands of Halloween contact lenses that make the best looking, high quality lenses - Crazy Lenses by Cooper Vision and Wild Eyes by Ciba Vision.

There are also many smaller companies and individual artists, who offer different designs for costume contact lenses. You can even get custom made lenses, with any design you like.

How to make sure your lenses are safe

You might have heard that Halloween contacts can damage your eyes. You shouldn’t worry; though, because high quality contacts are absolutely safe; only improper care of them can cause problems. If you already wear contact lenses for vision correction, care for costume contacts is absolutely the same as for ordinary contacts.

If it's your first time wearing contacts, though, be sure to consult your eye doctor before you order yourself a pair of theatrical contacts. All contact lenses come with instructions on how to care for them. Be sure to read and follow these instructions - taking care of your lenses takes only a couple minutes.

Things to remember:

  • don’t wear your contacts for longer than 8 hours and never sleep in them
  • only use contact lens solution to store and disinfect your contact lenses, never use tap water
  • wash your hands before handling your contacts
  • never wear a lens that is torn
  • take your costume lenses off if they irritate your eyes
  • never give your contact lenses to other people


Buying your Halloween contacts

Close to Halloween, you have probably seen these colorful boxes for sale everywhere - beauty salons, flea markets, even gas stations. However, it is not a good idea to buy your theatrical contact lenses from these places. Most of them sell no-brand costume contacts, so you can’t know where they were manufactured or from what materials. Remember, the surface of your eye is very delicate, and using paints that are not designed for contact lenses (as is the case with the majority of lenses available on the streets) can damage your eyes.

There are two safe ways to get costume contacts. One is to visit an eye doctor, get a prescription and order contact lenses through your doctor’s office. Another option is to order your costume lenses online from trusted contact lens retailers. This way, you can save a lot. As with most online orders, your contacts will usually arrive in about a week, so you should place your order in advance.

Like the idea of costume contacts? They are great fun and, with the range of lenses on the market, you can find contact lensesto that you will love.
