What Happens When You Condition Before You Shampoo?


If you've got fine hair, but need some intense moisture to mend damage, you may want to rethink your lather-rinse-repeat routine. Even just as a joke, we've always wondered exactly what would happen if we were to swap the order of our shampoo and conditioner, but as it turns out, it's a great way to give your strands hydration without causing them to go limp. Conditioner does nourish the hair, but can also weigh it down. So, if you shampoo after you condition, it will whisk away any residue. 
Clean hair is bouncy hair! 
The technique has been dubbed reverse washing, and it's likely to change the way you shower.
Even if you don't have fine hair, it's a great technique to try with your everyday conditioner, not to mention, those heavier masque formulas recommended roughly once a week. By cleansing after, you'll be eliminating any lingering buildup either formula can leave behind. 
Brands like TRESemme are already on board, with a reverse washing system of their own new to the market, though it's a technique you can do with the staples you already have, just be sure to use two moisturizing options that could technically work solo. 

The best part? Reverse washing will actually stretch the lifespan of your style by whisking away the aforementioned excess conditioner, as well as any natural oils that could cause your layers to fall flat. 
Long live the blowout.

The Shiseido 7 Color Powders Revival Centennial Edition

Move over... Creamy  color  correctors! There's a new set of skin-evening formulas in town, and they now come in powder form.    Allow me to introduce you to the just-launched Shiseido 7 Color Powders Revival Centennial Edition set, which features,  count 'em ,  seven color-correcting powders. In honor of Shiseido's O.G. Rainbow Beauty Powder, which launched in 1917 almost 100 years ago , the beauty giant just dropped a gorgeous, limited-edition set of color-correcting powders, all neatly packaged in small satin cream-colored boxes reminiscent of sweet little  engagement ring  boxes. Sadly, no sparklers were stashed in these mini cases. Like other color correctors on the market, these powders are designed to cover specific issues. So, for example, white, which should be applied to the T-zone, brightens; yellow evens out the complexion all over; beige smooths texture; rose, which should be brushed on the apples of ...

The Lash Thing....

I am personally a fan of essence products, they are great quality and affordable. I have naturally long thick lashes and I love to add extra volume and length for that false lash look. The "I heart extreme mascara" for me is a great buy. The products gives volume and extends lashes and they dry separately rather than clumpy. I found that the product goes on with ease and the brush is versatile and flexible for the shape of my eye.  I did a trial of applying 2 to 3 coats to see if the lashes would clump or if they'd feel heavy but they still felt light and full of volume. The colour is truly pitch black which is an added extra for me, as I love wearing a the essence gel black pencil liner and the mascara finishes off my look. On the down side I found the mascara tends to clump and dry out in the bottle when its almost finished, I was unsure if it was because I pushed too much air into the bottle when i pumped the wand in or was it the make up itself that drie...
