Dita Von Teese wears her hair in the 1940s style fashion.
Her hair is jet black even if her natural colour is blonde.
As many of you that dont know dita Von Teese dose her own hair, its curled to help perfect the 1940s pin up look.

Here are some tip on how to get the look.

1) once you have washed your hair you need to apply a heat protection product to your hair as you will be putting your hair under a lot of heat, so protecting it as much as you can from damage.

2) Now you need to dry your hair but dont blowdry your hair straigth, once your hair is dry you need to make a deep side parting.

3) Now it is time to start curling your hair the best way to do this is with heated rollers.
I always start putting the rollers in from the top of the head down to the nape of the neck, you need to put the rollers in vertical and not horizontal as you will find it hard to get that glamorous Dita Von teese style that you want so much.

4) now your hair is in rollers you need to spray your hair with a mist of medium to stronge flexible hold hair spray this will help the curls stay in but still giving it a natral movement at the same time.

5) Now you need to leave your rollers in for about 15 to 20 minuets or untill they are cold.
It also depends on how well your hair takes to being curld.

6) Once your hair is ready take your rollers out bot do not pull on the curls to much.
Also do not brush your hair.

7) Now all your rollers are out you now need to apply a shine serum this is to add extra shine which will give you a healthy look just like Dita Von Teese.
Work the shine serum into your hair with your hair with your hand using your fingers as a comb do this carefully as you dont want to do this too much and it will mess up the style.

Wether you want your hair pin up at the temple or if you want to leave it down as you know Dita Von Teese wears her hair both ways.
If you want to pin yours up you need to pin it up around your temple and then move it back to create a wave.
But if you want to wear it down you simply just have to tuck the hair behind your ear one the side that your parting is on.

9) Once you have the style that you want just finish off with a litte hair spray and a bit of shine spray and your ready to go.

1) As you may know all the celebrities have shinny hair.
I know most people can not afford to have a professional pampering treatment daily like all the celebrities but yes they is away to cheat. What you can do is apply a deep conditioner (do not wash it out) then you need to wrap Clingfilm round your head, I like to leave this on for about 10–20 minutes doing this will warm up and open the cuticles which help to penetrate the conditioner deep into the hair.
But if you don’t have time to do this and you are in a rush you could all so try out so serums or a spray shine (for a example TIGI head rush).

2) make sure you keep your colour complementary; the best way you can do this is to find your self a good colourist.
Always talk to your colourist about the colour you want to achieve and they will tell you if it will work or not.
You will find that most celebrities have a simple natural looking base tone with added highlights or lowlights to enhance what they have already.
If you want to save money you can also use a home dye but just make sure you get a colour that complements your skin tone.

3) One thing you never see is celebrity hair being frizzy. The ways you can stop this happening is
A) Once you have washed your hair you should put lots of conditioner on, this will weight your hair down.
B) Carry a small tube of serum with you where ever you are and use a brush when ever you have time.
C) To fight humid days you will find a leaving conditioner will help.

4) One thing you will notice is that big and thick hair means that your hair is healthy and this is what you need for that A-list celebrity look.
So what you need to do to get big hair is buy your self some heated rollers, roll your hair in large sections this will create lots of body. Apply some serum on the finished look but do not flatten the shape that you have just created, if you have fine hair adding some backcombing to the curl will help add that extra body.

5) Most of the hair that we want that the celebrities have is long but you will be surprised that how many A-list celebrities have added length and volume with extensions.
You can do this your self easily just using clip in extensions at home the great thing with these is that you can where them when you want.
A good idea is to practice at home until you get it looking invisible then you can go out feeling and looking like a celebrity.

6) Having healthy hair always makes it look like you have paid out a lot of money, there is a cheap way you can achieve this using a good gentle shampoo and conditioner at least once a week and also have a healthy diet will make a big change.
When you have washed your hair avoid brushing it when it is still wet as this will make the hair break also try not to use heated appliances every day such as hairdryers, tongs and straighteners.

7) Always make sure you have everything you need for your hair with you as no one likes to be court out.
I would suggest having a hair kit in your hand bag at all time, this dose not mean you have to take your whole dressing table with you all you need are four simple things serum, hairspray, a brush and a dry shampoo.
So go out propped and worry free.

So come on girls and follow these 7 simple steps and become an A-list celebrity.

Ringworm of the scalp is a fungal infection the medical term for ringworm is tinea capitis.

How is ringworm caught?

In most cases ringworm is transferred by contact with animals like cows, dogs, cats, hamsters and guinea pigs.
Most mammals have this skin fungus but do not have any symptoms but this can still be transferred to humans.
You can also get ringworm from another person that already has it via touching and sharing towels.
Fungi and their spores can live for long periods of time on brushes, unwashed towels and furniture.
There are some people that are carriers of fungi that means they have fungi on their skin and hair but it dose not invade into there skin this means they do not get infected and have no symptoms, so they will pass the fungi onto other people who will then get symptoms.
You will find scalp ringworm will mainly affect children and it is rare in adults, this is because of the normal skin oil (sebum) which increases on the scalp after puberty has properties that will make it resistant to fungi.

What symptoms will I have?

You may find one or more sections of the scalp will show hair loss or give a stubbly appearance.
You will find the skin will be slightly scaly with a little or no irritation.

You may fine the infection just looks like you have really bad dandruff on various places of your scalp; this can some times be mistaken as psoriasis.

You will alternatively get a 6 to 9cm wide lesion that may develop in to a large rash.

You may find a kerion will become inflamed and fill with pus or fluid, which will also be very painful.
This can cause permanent scarring and hair loss if not treated early enough.

If you find you have severe infection such as kerion or pustules you may find you develop a fever and the glands in your neck may swell in rare cases.

How do I get ringworm diagnosed?

It is best to go and see a doctor as there are many other skin diseases that have similar symptoms which require very different treatments.

Your doctor may take a scraping of the fungi so it can be microscopic checks and cultivation to identify it.
Once you have been diagnosed you will need to start your treatment straight away to avoid the ringworm infection spreading further and also to avoid infection of other people.

What is the treatment I will get?

The most common treatment is anti-fungal medicine which is taken by mouth.
If a large kerion have formed the antifungal treatment may be supplemented with corticosteroids for a short time.

Finger waves are very popular at the moment especaliy if you are into the fashion of 1920s, 1930s hair styles and also the burlesque hair styles, it is a great way to wear your hair wether you are going out or just fancy a change.

If you are not sure of what finger waves look like a good way to see is to watch chicago and have a look at Renee Zellwiger’s hair style.

Here are some tips on how to do finger waves.

First thing you have to do is wash and towel dry your hair then add some styling products.

Now  you are ready to comd your hair into ridges and curves with your fingers.

All ways decide where you want to start the waves then lay youe middle finger flat across your hair now take your comb and press it against the side of your finger, now in one inch sections drag the comb making sure the teeth of your comb are straight down side ways along your fingers untill you have created a ridge.

Now with out lifting the comb lay it flat against the scalp.

Now you need to press your index finger next to youe middle finger, gently press the ridge you have just made to hold it tight.

Next you need to bring the comb teeth back to a vertical potision, using your comb again brushing your hair out and curve it back in the opposite direction than the last section.

As you do this make sure you move your middle finger down as you go, this will help you to contiue building the ridges, continue doing this as far as you can go.

At the end you should have a ridge of hair moving in one direction and a C shape wave in the opposite direction.

Continue doing this all over your head once you have done this alowe to dry ( i would let it dry naturly my self)

Once your hair is dry you can comb it out gently, this will leave you with soft waves.

Your wedding day is supposed to be the best day of your lift the one you have dreamed of since you were a little girl so it is only natural to want to look your very best.
So here are some tips to help your day go smoothly.

1) When you are planning you wedding make sure your hairstyle, make up and dress all go together as you would not like a conflict at the last minute.
Try not to wear too much make up and choose your colours carefully so that it matches your attire.

2) Always choose your head dress and veil if you are having one before you choose your hairstyle, this is because not all styles and head dresses or veils go together.

3) It is always a good idea to have a few practice go’s with your hair to make sure that you are fully happy with it and also to make sure the stylist can do exactly what you want.
Doing this will also show up all the flaws in your plan (if any), and this will put you at ease on the day.

4) When choosing your hair style always remember the style of your wedding dress so you can try to match the style.
Remember you can always add hair extensions and hair pieces which will give you volume, length and change you complete look.
This is your wedding day so put a bit more effort it to your style (you won’t have to do it everyday).

5) Taking good care of your hair (you should be doing this already) but if your hair is in bad condition you will need to start looking after it now, as it can take you to 6 months to get your hair back to its full condition.
If you have coloured hair and will be having it done for the wedding (you should have it done two weeks before the big day) make sure you well conditioned after every colour you have.

6) I would also have a final trim at about two week’s before the wedding day this will get rid off all your split end and it will give your hair time to settle down is well.

7) It is not best to wash your hair on the day of your wedding day or the night before it is best to wash it 24 hours before as these will give it time to settle down.

Always use products that you have use before as you will not want to get an allergic reaction on the day of your wedding.
