Dear Reader,
Summer is here in full swing; both dresses
and tresses are changing their tune. This season
is all about getting that summer glow and not
staying low. With the Spring/Summer trends
now firmly in place, we are confident of what
works this year and are sharing every bit of the
information with you, our loyal readers!
This month, the world celebrates Mother’s
Day and we have a big plus for young mothers
this issue. Motherhood is not only a
transformative experience for the mind but
also for the body. Skin as well as hair experience fluctuations and changes and we
spoke to our experts to help you sail through them. Beauty doyen Shahnaz
Husain has shared her time-tested tips and knowledge for all young mothers who
are dealing with hair changes. Meanwhile, our expert Dr. Varun Katyal has skin
care for young mothers covered with his ‘For a Mommy Makeover’ feature. And
if you are one of those wondering what to gift that special woman on this day,
our ‘To mom, with love’ feature will solve all your gifting quandaries in a jiffy.
Summer hair, skincare and make-up are not to be trifled with, for this is when
you need to let your hair down in style. With leisure on your hands, our ‘Summer
Hairspiration’ feature will help you channel your inner diva this summer. And to
keep your make-up intact even in the heat, our ‘Make-up meltdown’ article will
leave you fearless and flawless. As a first, we are sharing a unique ‘DIY
Conditioners’ feature that the more experimental of you can try, while our ‘Heat
it up’ feature will simplify your hairstyling routine.
We were also presented with not one but two event platforms where TIGI and
Sebastian Professionals redefined hairstyling and presented unique looks that are
sharing and decoding for the brave heart amongst you. A loyal fan speaks her
heart this month and we hope those of you who concur can share your own
thoughts with us. Former Miss India International, Jhataleka Malhotra is our
summer cover girl and she has shared her hair and beauty secrets for you too.
For the guys, we have the male grooming feature that decodes your personality

Q
DR. APOORVA SHAH and
DR. SONAL SHAH, India’s
first certified trichologists,
give you all the haircare
advice you need.
QWhat measures do I take to
combat the greying process?
~ Arti
A A faulty diet and stress are the
two primary causes while deficiency
of B vitamins, iron, copper and iodine
in the daily diet worsens it.Treatment
for premature greying is preventive
with a regular healthy diet, proper
hair and scalp hygiene and de-
stressing activities are helpful along
with intake of L-tyrosine. Consult a
trichologist to know the cause and
treatment accordingly.
QMy daughter seems to have
caught a lice infestation. Is there
a permanent and effective method to
keep these issues at bay?
~ Vedika
A To keep lice at bay and prevent
subsequent complications like cross
infections, boils and pustules,
maintaining a regular hygiene routine
is important. Nits or lice eggs need to
be removed manually. Keep the scalp
healthy and clean, oil hair thrice a
week and wash off with shampoo as
unclean hair causes clogged pores
and lice. Cut the nails of the child if
he or she has lice since it may lead to

infections due to scratching. Keep
combs, pillows and towels of the
affected child separate and wash
them as many times as possible.
QI’ve recently learnt that my son
has alopecia areata. What do
you recommend?
~ Shweta
A The main cause is physical or
mental stress, post vaccination, lice
or during viral illnesses.
Treatment for alopecia areata
attempts to reduce the white blood
cells associated with the problem. If
this can be done, the hair will regrow.
Trichologists often recommend oral
intake of L-tyrosine, an amino acid
that decreases the neuropeptides in
the skin. This in turn reduces auto-
inflammation. This condition needs to
be diagnosed and treated by a
trichologist only.
QI have flaky dandruff that refuses to
come off unless I scratch it out.
Please recommend a solution.
~ Anuj
A Wash hair daily with scalp
cleanser and alternately with an
anti-dandruff shampoo. Regular
oiling and cleaning of hair with a mild
formulation helps. Use some lemon in
the last rinse after a shampoo as it
keeps dandruff at bay.
HairRepairYour route to perfect hair every day.
I had straightened my hair a few months back. The
texture of my normal growth is completely different
which makes it look ugly and fake. How do I deal
with this transition? ~ Karina
A Straightening is an extremely tedious and
harsh process which applies tremendous heat to
convert the protein cystine (which makes up hair)
into cysteine and then manipulates the hair into a
certain look. Do ensure internal nourishment to the hair shafts by eating a
balanced diet, regular oiling and regular tricho-scalp treatment and check
the strength of your hair by visiting your nearest trichologist. The emphasis
should be on conditioning. So make sure you end the wash cycle with an
intensive conditioner. Increase the intake of water, especially coconut water.

29. Make smart sections: You don’t
have to numb your arms by dividing
your strands into a million sections;
just four are enough. Clip the rest up
while you’re working on one. Left,
right, front and back; the back of the
head can be divided into two but
that’s about it.
Test the air blast: Your scalp
is sensitive as it has always been
extremely protected. Feel the heat
on the back of your hand before
exposing it to your hair for calculated
risks are comparatively safer.
Always use heat protectants
before styling: While heat
protectant serums prevent your
hair from damage caused by hot
styling tools, it is important to choose
products that do not contain alcohol-
based ingredients. The alcohol
content will only make your hair dry,
which is the exact opposite of how
a protecting serum is supposed to
function.

Stroke the right way: Always
maintain more than eight inches
distance between the nozzle of
the dryer and your hair. While
straightening, always start from the
roots and iron your way slowly to the
tips; never start mid-way as the lack
of consistency will lead to breakage.
Generously invest about two to three
seconds per strand.
Clean your wand: Make
sure you regularly clean your
magical equipment for an optimal
performance. Dust the back of your
dryer with a tooth brush and you
could use baby wipes for your hair
straighter among other options.

tête-à-tête
What’s does Jhataleka Malhotra’s
hair care ritual consist of?
Looking after your hair is extremely
important. Everyone has different
hair types, varying in length, texture
and thickness. For me, conditioning is
the most important aspect. I stick to
natural means that involve using curd
and eggs— they work wonders!
What is the one hairstyle that we
are most likely to spot you in?
I love beach waves— love the raw
texture and it is totally my thing!
What is your idea of pampering
yourself?
I am a firm believer of retail therapy!
I love to shop and that is only way in
which I truly indulge!
What’s your mantra to deal with
a bad hair day?
I like to tie my hair in a braid or a high
ponytail. One quick fix would be to
use some curling mousse and tie your
hair in a braid or bun— when you open
them you will have beautiful waves! All
you need to do then is just use a spray
to set it in place.
What are your thoughts on short
hairstyles like the undercut and
bobs that are all the rage these
days? How likely are you to sport
them?
I think they look super cool and edgy! I
surely want to try them someday.
Do share a message for your
loyal fans and readers.
I want to thank you all for the love and
support that you have showered me
with last year! It means a lot to me and
gives me immense encouragement to
keep working harder and doing better.
FIVE BEAUTY PRODUCTS THAT

HANDBAG
* 8 hour Cream by Elizabeth Arden
* Mascara

* Lip Tint
* Wet Wipes
How has life changed post this pagent?
This is something that has helped me grow as an individual, made me
independent and invoked a sense of understanding, which otherwise
would have developed much later.
Do you think you are under a certain amount of pressure to
look perfect all the time? How do you deal with it?
I don’t treat it as pressure— to me it’s more like a process where
you’re constantly being introduced to different shades of your own
personality. Someone told me long ago that happiness is the key to
looking perfect all the time. I think it’s how you feel about yourself
and how happy and confident you are about the way you carry
yourself that makes you look your best. Moreover beauty lies in
imperfection; we shouldn’t lose our individuality.
Do share your fitness secret with our readers.
My fitness regime is not complicated at all! I do take breaks in the
middle, but I give all credit to ATS Workouts (high altitude training)
and Pilates to keep me in shape. Besides this, it is extremely
important to eat healthy and in the right quantities.

out to be an inspirational one, helping the stylists push
their creative boundaries and helping them upgrade their
skills. “I have been associated with Sebastian Professional

An age-old favourite, Mila Kunis shows

be your best bet as a summer hairdo.
A messy ponytail, a sleek one, a high

for absolutely any occasion! For this
sophisticated style, create a centre-
parting in your hair and backcomb the
crown section to give it a teased look.
Use some hairspray onto this teased
section to hold it in place before moving
on. Once the crown is set, pull your hair
back into a high ponytail and secure
it with a hair-tie. Use a strand of hair
from underneath the ponytail and wrap
it around the hair-tie so as to cover
it, adding that touch of sophistication
to the look. This style will take you
effortlessly from your office to a to a
late-night party so show some love to
the versatile ponytail for the summer!

KATY PERRY’S
FUN LOB
If you’re not ready for a pixie or any
drastically short cut just yet, try a lob
(long bob) instead! This will give you a
feminine yet cool look, adding a fresh
twist to your look at the same time.
Styling a lob isn’t a challenge either;
you can leave it unstyled and wavy,
straighten it or curl it, depending on
your mood! To emulate Katy’s famous
look, work a heat protectant serum
through your hair and blow-dry. Divide
your hair into small sections and using
a curling wand, curl each section.
Comb through your curled hair with
your fingers, breaking the curls apart
to create waves. Once you’ve covered
all your hair, spritz some hairspray on
to set the curls and you’ll be good to
go! If you’re daring enough, colour
your hair in a bold shade as hers and
we assure you that all eyes will be on
you as you step out!

DOUBLE HAT CHIGNON
The chignon has travelled
a long way from ancient
Greece where it first added
glamour to Athenian women.
Traditionally, the chignon was
a smallish bun at the nape of
the neck. Lakmé salon has
created its own dramatic
version of this classic low-key
style, inspired by the double
domes commonly seen in
Barcelona. Voluminous hair
sleekly styled in an up-do
that resembles a faux hat,
this style adds oodles of
oomph when needed. With a
sculpted saree gown, this can
even take you back to ancient
times as you make a queenly
entrance at soirees!

Straightened or crimped, hair is

an afterthought and the colour
takes the ‘Sculpt’ philosophy to a

A
woman’s body goes through multiple physiological, hormonal
and glandular changes during and after pregnancy. The hormonal
activity usually benefits the hair during pregnancy, because of
higher estrogen levels. Many women recollect that their hair
looked thicker and shinier during this time. Actually, hair normally
grows in three phases: growth, resting and shedding. But, during pregnancy,
due to higher estrogen levels, the growth and resting phases become longer
and the hair falls less. It also looks healthy and thick. Good nutrition, along with
vitamin and mineral supplements also improves the look of the hair. Of course,
stress can trigger off hair problems and hair loss.

Anyone can make it work
Yes, anyone! Long, short, wavy, fine or thickly-tressed
ladies can pull it off! Think of the trend as the sleekest,
healthiest version of your own hair.
And for curly girlies…
This look totally works for curls too, but if you want to
smooth them out, try applying a smoothing balm on
freshly-washed, damp hair before blow-drying. Blow-dry
your hair straight with a paddle brush for the sleekest
finish (if you dry small enough sections at a time, you
shouldn’t need to break out the straighteners).
It cuts out unnecessary products
For the most part, all you’ll need is the following:
• MOISTURISING SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER DUO
– This will help to hydrate your hair, ensuring it’ll
be flyaway-free!
• TAIL COMB – For the precise side-parting.
• SMOOTHING BALM – To prep damp hair for
straightening.
• STRAIGHTENERS/HAIRDRYER – Whichever
method of straightening you prefer.
• SHINE SPRAY – Wave bye-bye to crisp finishing
sprays – the only thing you’ll need to complete
your look is a subtle glisten for the ultimate in
fuss-free, glossy locks.
No time? No problem!
You can make this look last until the next time you wash
your hair! At night, simply twist into a low bun and pin
in place, then come morning, undo and brush through.
You’ll be left with an oh-so-subtle natural wave.
The only thing is…
There’s nowhere to hide! Just like the “no make-up”
trend, this look really does expose flaws, so you need
to keep your mane in tip-top condition. That means
regular trims, deep-conditioning treatments and
moisture masks!

ISTOCK
PROBLEM:
I’m scared of wearing my hair up
SOLUTION:
It’s all about finding
the right ponytail to
suit your face shape
and there will be no
need to hide behind
your hair. Practice
wearing your
ponytail at different
heights – from high
on the crown to low
at the nape. High
ponytails will look
great on round face
shapes, while those
with square faces
should frame their
look with a few
tendrils.
PROBLEM:
I’m scared to dye my hair for the first time
SOLUTION:
Find out what shades would
suit your natural skin tone
and ask your stylist for their
advice before picking one.
Don’t too stray too far from
your natural shade so you
can still transform your look
without being too drastic. If
you don’t want to commit,
try an ombré style, as it is
easy to grow out and you
can cut off your ends when
you’re bored with it.

PROBLEM:
I want a pixie cut, but I’m scared of
the chop
SOLUTION:
Pixie cuts are great for an
edgy look and really show
off those cheekbones, but
make sure you know your
face shape before visiting
the salon. Oval-shaped
faces can pull off nearly
any style of pixie cut,
but heart-shaped ladies
should aim to add height
at the crown to elongate
their features.
SavvyHair–savvyhair.
co.uk
PROBLEM:
My style falls flat in an hour and I can never
keep the volume!
SOLUTION:
Try not to use too much
conditioner, as that can weigh
the hair down and make it
fall flat after styling. Instead,
when your hair is towel-dry,
get plenty of mousse on the
crown of your hair, which
will uplift roots. Applying a
root-boosting powder and
washing with a volumising
shampoo/conditioner will
also work wonders.
PROBLEM:
My hair gets
greasy too quickly
after washing
SOLUTION:
Try to wash your hair
every other day to
better regulate sebum
production and stock
up on the wonder that
is dry shampoo. Pop a
can in your handbag
and spray and massage
in when you need those
root touch-ups during
the day.
PROBLEM:
I struggle to style
my short hair
SOLUTION:
Invest in some good quality
hair extensions, clip-ins
and styling products like
moulding pastes and waxes.
Have fun experimenting
with lots of different
textures and styles. You can
also update your look with
semi permanent colours
and hair chalks for a blast of
creative colour.
PROBLEM:
SOLUTION:
Don’t try too hard with your
updos. Keep things relaxed
by incorporating plaits into
your look. There are plenty
of how-to videos online that
can teach you how to do
Dutch, French and fishtail
plaits. Try incorporating
these into your standard
updo – they are set to be
among the biggest catwalk
trends in 2015.
PROBLEM:
Girly accessories make me look silly
SOLUTION:
Keep things all grown up by making your look effortless but
edgy – if you’re wearing a glittery hair band then put your
hair in a loose, messy bun and keep your eye make-up dark.
PROBLEM:
SOLUTION:
Test the
water with a
good quality
clip-in fringe
before taking
the plunge!
PROBLEM:
I’m a slave to my straighteners
SOLUTION:
As tough as it is, step away from the irons – they are
extremely damaging to the hair and can cause split
ends. As an alternative, wash your hair with straightening
shampoo and conditioner, then, after towel-drying your
hair, apply some argan oil and plait your hair or put it up
into large rollers before sleeping with them in overnight.
Voilà! Gorgeous curls or waves without the heat damage!

brace yourself for some poetry. “
“Feel my masculinity

SOUL PATCH+GOATEE
Having gotten bullied your entire teenage
life, these patches of hair finally shoved
those disturbing encounters in a dark alley,
right where they belong. If only you could
keep that desperate adolescent version of
you from making every situation awkward.
An annoying know-it-all who’ll criticise the
wine till its last drop to a mushy sitcom dude
who believes in romanticizing everything;
basically anything that increases the
probability of getting in her pants will sum
up a man who ‘chooses’ to sport this look.

You live in the gym, juggling your
women while grooving to the beats

FULLY GROWN BEARD
A glance from the corner of the eye, that’s all it
would take for you to slice their soul into pieces
and you can very well put it back together in
the same moment. But by then, you would have
figured them out. Struggled your way through
life, you’ve survived it all but nothing and no one
was ever worth the effort. You’ve travelled far
and wide, sold the Harley for the woman who
was once enchanted by it. But that’s not the story
your children would hear.
“You don’t deserve my
attention. Now if you
excuse me, I have to go
get back to my woman.”
“You look better
than my axe. Do you
like wood too?”
MUTTON CHOPS
The self proclaimed macho creature of the forest,
you can talk about your adventures all day.
Whether it’s slaughtering a random goat for dinner
or a car crash you nearly escaped, your extreme
stories can get so amusing that they question the
authenticity. Just let them enjoy the old country
music playing while you carry out your day to day
manly chores. Well, that pretty much sums up your
extravagant dare devil persona.
So, have you taken your pick? Or are you still
pondering over the options whilst stroking
your existing beard. We couldn’t agree more,
it’s a massive decision as it would instantly add
five years to your look but effectively seal the
younger version of your skin as well. The UV rays
that it blocks, reduces the chances of cancer. So
if not for sex appeal, grow it for science at least!

S.O.Ssave our skins!
I have a combination of dry and oily skin. How
can I take care of it in the summer to make
sure it doesn’t get too dry or too oily?
– Nadia
A Dry skin tends to get normal and oily skin tends
to get too oily in summers. Since you possess a
combination skin-type, your T-zone will get more
oily while the rest will stay normal. You ought to use
specific products for each zone. While washing your
face, use a deep-pore cleanser on your T-zone but mix it with water while
applying it on your cheeks and jaw area. Dab a tea-tree astringent and
apply a gel-based moisturizer on your entire face. Make sure you protect
your skin with a gel-based sunscreen. Be sure to use summer-specific
make-up products to bid adieu to any sheen on your face.
Q QYears of waxing and other
forms of hair removal have
left my underarms dark and
patchy. Is there any way to
effectively reverse this?
–Ananya
A Waxing can never cause dark
underarms. The reason for your woes
seem to be the other measures you
must have gone through like hair
removal creams and razors. To deal
with it, you may use this effective
scrub-cum-pack: add two tbsps lemon
juice with three tbsps oats, three tbsps
sandalwood powder & two tbsps
grated potato to form a paste. Now,
gently scrub your underarms using it.
Wash off and repeat regularly to notice
steady effects of this remedy. Ditch
your deodorants for some time as it will
only hamper the brightening process.
You may also go for bleach and peel
treatment sittings at a professional
salon but make sure to maintain an
adequate interval between sittings. In
IPL is the solution for you. Intensed
Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy is the best
way to permanently reduce unwanted
hair. This revolutionary, Italian
technology is the safest and effective
measure for hair-removal that has no
side effects.
QMy feet are in a terrible
shape-cracked and tanned. Is
there a foot care routine that I
can follow to combat this?
– Isha
A Your feet clearly exhibit the care
you provide to them. Keep them clean
and well-moisturised— just as you
do for your face. For this, scrub your
feet using a pumice stone on a daily
basis while bathing and massage them
with a rich moisturizer after. Prepare
a mixture of glycerin, papaya pulp,
honey and lemon juice in equal parts
and apply it daily to get brighter and
smoother feet. You may use lemon
pieces with sugar to scrub you feet.
While the sugar takes all the dead skin
away, the lemon extract will brighten
pedicure sessions that are helpful
for healing cracked heels. At nights,
massage your feet using petroleum
jelly and sleep off with cotton socks on
to pacify your overworked toes.
QI’ve heard that waxing off
facial hair causes the facial
skin to loosen over time. Is this
true? If yes, what would be the
best way to deal with this?
– Shraddha
A Skin does tend to lose its
elasticity over time with regular
waxing sessions. Go in for threading
instead. But, in case your hair density
is high, threading may not work for
you. In order to avoid the hassle
forever, you can go in for a hair-
removal procedure called Intense
Pulsed Light (IPL). It’s a skin-friendly,
convenient, painless laser treatment.
In case your hair growth in not too
coarse, you may opt for bleaching,
which is in no way harmful when
done at a professional salon. Oxy,
Protein and Gold are the ace options
for bleaching, which are suitable for
all skin-types.

93. eye spy
SHEFALI SAMDRIA presents three eye make-up innovations from
the Lakmé Fashion Week that will soon be the trends to follow!
MAKING EYES
S
ince ancient times, eye make-up has been the focal
point of beauty and its pursuit from gemstones ground
for Cleopatra’s eye-lids to the home-made kohl that
remind you of your grandmother. Indian make-up has
thus far steered away from intense experimentation
when it comes to the eyes. You saw the same boring eye-liner/kohl
look everywhere, until Natasha Nischol of FAT MU gave three very
unique looks that had everyone raving!
GRAPHITE GAZE
Kohl is almost primeval, the smoky eye
is almost a cliché. Then FAT MU went
ahead and created a smudged out,
smoky eye in grey hues that spread out
towards the temples like a fish fin. The
combination with the mohawk braid and
bodycon silhouette was just delectable.
BEATEN GOLD
Think beaten gold leaves on Indian
sweets seen at weddings and festivals.
An almost identical look was created
at the Raghavendra Rathore show
for his bridal collection. Luminiscent
bronze cheekbones and pale pinkish
gold lipcolour made this every bride’s
must-do!
