Botox - From Cosmetic Surgeon's Clinic to Botox Parties
Few years back botox treatment in Chandigarh and Punjab area in India was limited to few clinics. Most of the patients were NRI's or the foreign national visiting this part of the India. Time has changed as not only the number of local patients is increased but also the concept of botox-parties or botox-brunches have emerged. The simplicity of the procedure has led to the phenomenon of the BOTOX® party -- modeled after old-fashioned Tupperware parties. It's good because the best work is done when patients are comfortable.
A procedure known as cosmetic denervation uses Botox™ injections to relax these facial muscles and keep them from contracting. After the procedure, the skin over the treated muscles remains smooth and unwrinkled whilst other, untreated, facial muscles contract in normal fashion, so your normal facial expressions are unaffected.
Botox injections have been used safely and effectively for over ten years to treat eye and nerve conditions. Each year, thousands of people receive these treatments for a variety of causes and it has become an increasingly popular treatment for reversing visible signs of aging. By smoothing out "dynamic" wrinkles, Botox treatments can give you a more youthful and pleasant appearance. These treatments, however, cannot improve wrinkles due to aging or sun damage, as these wrinkles are not caused by muscle contractions. Nor will the treatments improve sagging skin or take the place of a face lift.
Cosmetic denervation using Botox is a safe and simple procedure. Using a tiny needle, your surgeon will inject a small amount of the drug very carefully and precisely into several points on your face.
Because the needle is so fine and only a small amount of liquid is injected, the discomfort associated with the injections is minimal. No sedation or local anaesthetic is required and you can resume your normal activities at once. You can even drive yourself home or back to work. You should, however, avoid exercise for four hours after your treatment, as well as facial massage and any activity that requires you to bend over repeatedly. During this time you should also remain upright.
While Botox injections are an effective treatment for dynamic wrinkles, they are a temporary solution. The effects of the injections last from six months, so you will likely need to have injections about two times a year. How long the effects of treatment last varies from patient to patient, and the treatment may be less effective for people over 65 years of age. Early clinical studies indicate that the duration of treatment benefits increases over time, so you may require injections less frequently as time goes on.
The risk of side effects depends on the muscles that are injected. The most common side effect is bruising, which can be easily covered by make-up. In some cases, the Botox can migrate and cause temporary weakness in nearby muscles.

Hairstyles For Homecoming
Homecoming is a special event. The excitement to meet your colleagues and ex-students brings about nostalgic days of induction, academics, sports and the prom dance. A student's life is also about looking and feeling good. In order to respect the occasion and partaking in the many events one needs to also sport the best hairstyle. A slight makeover is also suggested by using a different style of eye make up or a different color of eye shadow. Subtle hints are more than sufficient as the glow should be natural.
Homecoming is also about a dance and games. One should be comfortable in the pin up or updo hairstyles. Elaborate ones require practice so that one does not feel awkward while tilting the head or doing the dance. If you had long hair last year, get into the wavy hairstyle with a medium hair cut. Bobs are classy and much can be done with stick-ons and little wisps that frame your face.
Most importantly hairstyles for homecoming should have a certain charm and an impish feeling. The best virtue is that of youth and hence being yourself is important. There are several haircuts with zigzag hair partings that can be left loose or again done in an updo pattern. Go for sprinkles in your hair of fluorescent hues that match with your dress. Use scrunching gels for the natural look. Use bobby pins on a loose bun for natural wavy hair.
Glossies also have step-by-step instructions on certain hairstyles if you do not have the time or inclination to go to hairdresser. Bangs are great and there are many styles in bangs that remind you of the earlier era. Out turns are classy, though it is better to minimalise the coloring of hair for homecoming events. Look great in a high pony tail that is highlighted with a bright scrunchie. Back comb hair for volume, leave it blonde or gently streak the hair color as per your skin tone.
Texturizing spray, blow dry effect and also serums do much to turn a flat dull hair type into a bouncy image. Learn the right way to blow dry. Conditioners are to be religiously done to tackle hair damage. Leave-in conditioner is the best for the hair that is thin and blow dry your hair at the roots. Lift the crown hair by back combing to suit the face type. Many looks can be cultivated with make up ideas to shape the arch of the eyebrow, get the eyes bigger and also create a symmetry. Confidence adds charm to the personality and make sure to enjoy the homecoming event.

Brazilian Keratin Straightening - One of the Best Hair Straightening Treatments Around
Brazilian Keratin Straightening is a long term blow drying system that lasts about 10 weeks. It is designed for people who have curly or frizzy hair and doesn't use any chemical treatments; in fact it will help to repair your hair!
Brazilian Keratin Straightening is safe for use on coloured hair and the reason that it will help to repair your hair is due to the fact that the main component is keratin protein, which is found in the hair. The effects of Brazilian Keratin Straightening will generally wash out in two to three months depending on how porous your hair was before the treatment took place.
As with all treatments that you have done on your hair you should visit your salon before hand for a consultant appointment with your stylist to discuss everything that is going to be carried out on your hair. The reason that this is so important is to ensure that the treatment you have done to your hair won't damage it. Even though with the Brazilian Keratin Straightening it can pretty much be performed on any type of hair I would still recommend that you book an appointment with your stylist to discuss it before hand so that you can go over everything that will happen on the day as well as everything that you can and can't do to your hair once you have had the treatment performed. This way you are fully aware of any implications that may affect your hair and will ensure that you don't do anything to your hair that could damage the Brazilian Keratin Straightening treatment.
When you arrive at the salon on the day of your appointment you will remain in there for around two hours while the process is being performed, which isn't bad at all considering that most of us spend about an hour just having a cut and blow dry. Once the treatment has been performed your stylist will more than likely go over the procedure for caring for your hair again.
Unlike other straightening treatments, such as the Japanese straightening treatment, the Brazilian Keratin Straightening is cheaper and you can have it done on treated, coloured and damaged hair; basically the more damaged your hair is the longer the straightening effect will last.
The Brazilian Keratin Straightening process can be broken down into the following:
• Your hair is shampooed but no conditioner is used as the product itself consists of keratin
• The hair is segregated into four neat sections
• The solution is applied at the scalp and then combed well so that the solution spreads throughout the hair
• After one section has been done, the hair is clipped and the next section is started When the product has been applied to every part of your head, blow-dry your hair, beginning from the nape
• The last step consists of flat ironing the four subsections properly
The produce that is used on your hair contains what is known as Keratin, which will crystallise and coat the hair shaft, sealing in shine and keeping out moisture/frizz. It makes damaged hair look healthy again.
After the process, you cannot wash your hair for four days. Also, you should not use any product (particularly shampoo) with sodium Chloride, as that will eat through the coating provided by the Keratin. If your hair does become wet during these four days it is essential that you blow dry it straight away.
Once applied the chemical sits on the cuticle, not penetrating into the cortex which allows the keratin to work at its best and condition, moisturise and reconstruct your hair, leaving it looking shiny, soft and more manageable.

Brazilian Keratin Treatment is a Revolution in Hair Straightening
The Brazilian Keratin Treatment is a new and exciting way in which you can have your hair straightened. It has become one of the latest hair trends among many celebrities and now available in certain salons within the UK.
The Brazilian Keratin Treatment is different to the many hair straightening treatments that are currently available; it is cheaper, takes less time to have done, can be performed on any hair type and most importantly it actually helps to improve damaged hair, in fact the more damaged your hair is the more that the Brazilian Keratin Treatment will help it. The Brazilian Keratin Treatment is not meant to be permanent; it is a temporary method of hair straightening that does need re-doing about every three months in order to keep your hair straightened. After about three months your hair will loose its straightness but it will stay in a good condition and every time you have the treatment re-done it will improve the condition of your hair further.
The treatment blends in with the natural growth of your hair and unlike other forms of hair straightening it doesn't use strong chemicals to open and close the hair cuticles; this is because the main ingredient within the Brazilian Keratin Treatment is keratin. This is a natural substance which is what about 88% of your hair is made from. The results mean that your hair is soft, shiny and straight.
As with all treatments that you have performed on your hair there are certain things that you can and can't do to your hair once the treatment has been performed. Below is a list of the things that you shouldn't do after having the Brazilian Keratin Treatment performed on your hair:
• Do not wash your hair
• Do not tie your hair into a ponytail
• Don't use hair clips
• Don't pull your hair behind your ears
• Do not exercise
• Don't use hair bands
• Do not use your glasses to hold your hair back
• Do not use sprays, gel or mousses
The reasons that you can't do the above to your hair after having the Brazilian Keratin Treatment performed is due to the fact that the keratin produces a coating over the hair and the above aspects would all break this coating causing the treatment to fail.
So what's so good about this keratin? Well it has strong protective qualities that improve the hair both on the inside and the outside. It is virtually a liquid form of hair and brings back the strength and quality that your hair has been lacking. Keratin is a type of protein that is tough, elastic and insoluble. It is what skin, hair and nails are made of.
If your hair has seen better days and you are desperately looking for something that will bring the life, strength and durability back into it then Brazilian Keratin treatment is exactly what you need. So get in touch with your stylist today and book your consultation for it!
