Curly Girl Method Products and How to Do It
It’s no secret that curly hair can have a mind of its own. Depending on your cocktail of products, techniques, weather, or lifestyle, it can behave in totally different ways. For my 4A coils, and many other curlies I know, our curl pattern is not the same throughout our heads. Personally, I have smoother 3B curls in the front, 4B at the crown, and tighter, S-pattern 3C/4A ringlets in the back. Sometimes my spirals will spring and live their full, bouncy life, and other times they rebel and need more TLC to actually flourish. Because of the trial-and-error nature of curls, many of us constantly scour the Internet or personal…

Feeling Sick After a Massage? An Expert Shares Why
When I’m low on cash but highly stressed, I turn to affordable beauty treatments to soothe my frazzled nerves. One of my favorites is receiving a deep-tissue massage in Chinatown, NYC. I usually pay about $40 (tip included) for a full hour of bliss. However, after a recent massage — which was wonderful, by the way — I started feeling sick. Really sick: about an hour after the rubdown, I threw up. I couldn’t believe it. I’d experienced nausea after a massage before, but never enough to actually hurl. And by the way, after puking, I felt great (from head to toe . . . stomach included). In an attempt…

Does Tattoo Removal Hurt? | POPSUGAR Beauty
Grandma was wrong: you don’t actually have to live with your tattoo regret for the rest of your life. Thanks to some pretty nifty advancements in laser technology, tattoos are no longer the lifetime commitment they used to be. If you’re already dealing with ink remorse, this news should come as a relief. Now, let’s get real about laser tattoo removal. Laser tattoo removal works by targeting ink pigments below your skin and breaking them down into even smaller particles, which are then absorbed by your blood stream. Most people need anywhere between four and 10 treatments to see results — it depends on the size and density of your…
