...requirements. Razors for women are designed to take care of their delicate skin around the shin bone of the leg, plus the area around the knee and the calf. While men’s razors are designed simply to get their hair from the beard removed. Men’s shavers enable them to easily shave under and around the nose and lip without worrying about cuts or nicks. Likewise, women’s shavers help them get rid of the tiny hair after waxing that grows pretty fast. Read through the following lines to find out the difference between men and women shavers. Women Vs Men Razors * Men’s razors are typically masculine and straightforward. Women’s shaving products, on the other hand, are of a softer shade and offer a larger and more comfortable handle. * Men’s shavers have a straight handle. Conversely, women’s shavers have a longer handle for a longer reach or a paddle-shaped handle to allow for a lengthwise grip. You can also find specialized handle designs for shaving areas, such as the underarms or the bikini line. * Although women’s razors offer a smooth shave, they don’t leave you with that “close-shave” feeling for a long time. This happens because women’s razors are designed specially to gently glide over a wide area of thin hair. Contrarily, men’s razors pluck thicker hair from a smaller area. * Today, men’s razors have more blades than their female counterparts. While additional blades have been basically added...

...Coconut Oil and Calamansi Peelings As Agent for Hair Oil Chapter I. Introduction A. Background Of the Study The hair is our crowning glory that holds true for most people since it is one of the things that leave a lasting impression when we first meet someone. The way that we carry our hair, our haircut, our hairstyle and even hair texture are all visible traits that can greatly affect the way that other people look at you. This is the reason why we need to take extra care of our hair. Our hair and scalp, just like our skin needs special care and attention. One way of caring our hair is by using hair oil. This research is about the possibility of oil extracted from calamansi peeling as preservative for hair oil. Hair oil is commonly used by people who have dry hair especially girls. Hair oil moisturizes the scalp, it provides hair into the sebaceous glands and promotes hair growth. The calamansi peelings we need in this study is abundant in the Philippines. We can directly find them in our kitchen, etc. Calamansi peelings contain a preservative called Pectin that is generally used in preserving jams and jellies. In this study, we commonly use the extract of calamansi peelings which has pectin to preserve the fragrance of the coconut oil and which at the same time gives an additional fragrance to the oil. This study employs the importance of this experiment to our economy in the country. B. Statement of the Problem This study will determine the feasibility...

...Undercut hairstyle The undercut, also known as curtained hair, is a unique style that involves short hair on the side of the head and the top is longer. The styling will vary from one to another, but the main idea is to have shorter sides and a longer top section. Here is a look at the different undercut men hairstyles; Short on sides long on top This is supposedly the most common style, whereby, the sides will be short enough. There will be a section that divides the sides and the top. The hair fades from the top of the head, down to the ears. On the other hand, the top section is longer, and it will not necessarily need styling. Medium top With this style, the sides are trimmed off, and the top has a medium-sized hair length. It will also...

Zero Buzz Cut This cut is known as the zero buzz cut as it is created when the Clippers are set at level zero, and the aim of the haircut is to reduce the hair to a very low level, but this is not balding. Most people often confuse it with a smooth shave, and it takes a lot of skills to cut it without creating a balding effect. How to Do the Buzz Cut If you have long locks the first step in creating the buzz cut will be to cut them with the scissors but make sure you leave a couple of inches as the clippers will do the rest. Before u start with the clippers, you should first determine the length that you want and the appearance that you wish to have so as to choose a suitable number. Once this is figured out, you should start with the sides and back and finish with the top. Clippers are very comfortable to use, but only a skilled barber can give you a perfectly buzzed out haircut. Different Variations of This...

...identify the genes behind gray hair, curly hair, beard thickness, and the humble monobrow. Some genes decide the color of your hair, while other, considerably less friendly genes influence whether or not you go bald. Now, a University College London study has identified the DNA behind gray hair, curly hair, beard thickness, and even the humble monobrow. The researchers say their results confirm long-held suspicions nursed by unmarried aunts — going gray simply runs in the family. We humans have lost most of our body hair over time, yet the abundance of head hair we’ve managed to retain throughout our evolution varies tremendously from individual to individual, and not just among those who regularly drop a Benjamin at the salon. According to the researchers, the appearance of our hair is mostly an inheritance game as evidenced by the obvious differences appearing on different continents. For example, straight hair is virtually absent from sub-Saharan Africa, while variable hair color is mostly found in West Eurasia. “Interestingly, different genes have been associated with straight hair in Europeans and East Asians, suggesting that this trait evolved independently at least twice,” wrote the team of researchers led by Dr. Kaustubh Adhikari Hair Diversity Adhikari, of UCL’s cell and developmental biology department, and his co-authors analyzed 6,357 people with varied ancestry across Latin America to identify new genes associated with hair color, greying, density, and...

...PCOS, diabetes and irregular periods. It is also suspected to be hereditary from either paternal or maternal sides of the family. How is PCOS diagnosed? During a physical examination a physician will look for signs of PCOS such as extra body hair and high blood pressure. They will also check weight and height as well as lab test to measure blood sugar, insulin and other hormone levels. These test help rule out thyroid and other glandular problems that have similar symptoms. One may also have a pelvic ultrasound to look for cysts on your ovaries. Your doctor may be able to tell you that you have PCOS without an ultrasound, but this test will help him or her rule out other problems. How is it treated? The first step in managing PCOS is to get regular exercise and eat heart-healthy foods. This can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease. It can also help you lose weight if you need to. If you smoke, consider quitting. Women who smoke have higher androgen levels that may contribute to PCOS symptoms.1Smoking also increases the risk for heart disease. Doctors may also prescribe Birth control pills. They can help your periods be regular and can reduce symptoms such as excess facial hair and acne. An androgen-lowering medicine, spironolactone, may be used with birth control pills to help reduce symptoms even more. These medicines are not used if you are trying to get pregnant. A diabetes medicine called metformin. It can help restore...

...with our family. He loves to be snuggled close. If a lap is not available, he likes to burrow under a blanket next to me. Not only does Blitz like to cuddle, but he can be very entertaining. A squeaky toy in the form of an animal or ball is a huge source of fun and joy for him. A favorite toy would be his stuffed hedgehog. He is very clever and has learned to anticipate our every move while playing. Tugging on the toy while we desperately try to cling to it is one of his favorite past times. Easy maintenance is especially important when considering the greatest dog. Having a small dog saves time during baths as there is less surface area to cover than with a large, hairy dog. Since Blitz has short hair, when he sheds, it is minimal. If hair is spotted on the couch, it simply looks like eyelashes scattered about. This results in easy clean up. The best example of why Blitz is the greatest dog is the way he loves his family. Not only is he faithful to me as his master, but he is faithful to the rest of the family as well. He is ecstatic to see each of us when we walk in the door. The very first moment we step foot in the house is filled with yips of happiness, endless tail wagging, and jumping for joy; causing us to feel as if we are the most important part of his life. When Blitz is with us, our family unit feels complete. What more could you ask for from a small, four legged, furry friend? I can’t imagine a...

...Throughout the month of October, I decided to participate in a shave, no-shave opportunity for my Women’s Studies class. During the year, I usually keep my body well shaven, for this class activity however, I opted out of shaving for an entire month. Experiencing this has taught me a lot about gender equality. I am going to discuss what my family and friends thought as I went through this hairy time as well as what I think about the gender roles in our society relating to hygiene. My parents blessed me with good genes when it came to body hair. I am not a very hairy person, nor is anyone in my immediate family. I usually shave once or twice a week, but I did not see or feel a need to shave until a week into the no shaving. When I told my mom...

...Frigglish bothered his beard, as if unkinking a hitch in a long silk windsock. A more pedestrian audience would parse the exhibit as nervous compulsion. Behavior to petition contempt among the reasonable. He was however not surrounded by the reasonable, but the wise, a distinction in men that would forever be the difference in history's garland of treasured follies. As a matter of fact, his cadre of fellow wizards were all putting similar moves on their beards as well. The practice would evince thoughtfulness - sagacity, even - if they didn't do it all the time. Standing in line at the bank. Shooing squirrels from bird feeders. Few occasions were safe. Zazzerpan inspected the clue. A single piece of evidence cradled in his coriaceous old man palms. It was a human bone, not striking in the tale it told alone so much as that told by the thousands like it festooning the marshy soil of the mass grave. The grisly expanse bore the texture of a decadent dessert, like one of Smarny's formidable custard trifles wobbled out on wheels for the holidays, to the dismay of a small nation. "You're certain of this?" asked Frigglish. Despite what he was doing with his beard, he was, in fact, immersed in meaningful contemplation. "I am afraid I am becoming more so with each terrible tick groused by that gaudy timepiece slung around your neck." In case it wasn't clear, Frigglish wore a clock Zazzerpan didn't care for. It was magic. "The massacre of Syrs Gnelph was not as written." "What...

Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation……………………………………8 BIBLIOGRAPHY…………………………………………………………………...8-9 APPENDIX………………………………………………………………………….9-10 I. Introduction Man is a social being. God made man to be with others in fulfilling his roles and duty. Therefore, man is meant to have a partner in life. Someone he could count on in times of sorrow and joy. He is not to be left alone in this world. But the youths of today do not really seem to know the true essence of being in this kind of commitment. Most teenagers think of this as a game not knowing the effects it could bring not only to them but also to the other relationships that they have. Throughout life, the definition of a boyfriend or girlfriend changes. In elementary school, a relationship is defined by giggling and saying "hi" in the hallways. Yet when a teenager gets to high school, a relationship is seen in a whole new perspective. Holding hands and hanging out with their partner in a group is considered a strong relationship. Couples become obsessed with each other. This is when jealousy steps in. Fourteen-year-old girls are crying in school washrooms because their boyfriend was simply talking to...

...Have you ever just had a bad hair day? When you woke up and no matter what you did, you couldn’t get it to lay right? Well I am here to tell you about a hair product that could end your bad hair days forever. Affordable, quality products are often kept secret. They blend in with other fancy named products and often go unnoticed. My sister in law has been a hairstylist for 17 years and has used and sold this product to almost every client she has had. Today, we will look at a hair serum that can help you achieve a salon quality hairstyle right in your own bathroom, with your own fingertips, at a much cheaper cost. First, I want to tell you why you need this product. According to the Milady Standard Textbook of Cosmetology, the average growth of hair is around ½ inch per month. Many people don’t see this hair growth because environmental factors often cause the hair to break off at the ends. Your hair needs some type of protection against these environmental factors. It is one of the first things that people notice about you. It is the first thing that we either compliment, or sit back and silently notice how bad it looks. Most of us have made at least one bad first impression, or been embarrassed because of how our hair looked when we’ve met someone for the first time. Whether it be a prospective date or employer, we have all experienced this. Many hair smoothing products are very overpriced. They leave clean hair looking greasy, while it feels weighted down and looks like it...

...670-1, especially with hairstyles. Hairstyles covered in AR 670-1 are written guidelines about the grooming standards of males and females in the Army. So are these written guidelines followed precisely or does someone interpret what they think it should be and enforce their opinion. In most all cases it is an enforced opinion. Someone may have the opinion that if you cant see skin on the side of the head then it isn't in regulation when in actuality it is as long as its a tapered appearance. So Where does it end? Why have a set standard if its not going to be a set standard. Is it an Army standard or someones standard? You can literally walk down a hallway and someone will say something about your hair then turn around and someone else will say something totally different about your hair. So there isn't a standard there are thousands of standards. With that being said, the guidelines state that Leaders judge the appropriateness of a particular hairstyle by the appearance of headgear when worn. Soldiers will wear headgear as described in the applicable chapters of AR 670-1. Headgear will fit snugly and comfortably, without distorted or excessive gaps. Soldiers may not wear hairstyles that do not allow proper wear of headgear, or that interfere with the proper wear of the protective mask or other protective equipment. ie.. 1SG.
