How To Decorate Your Healthy Hair

Are you ready to put under control the beauty and harmony of disobedient strands?
Put a flower in your hair and thus you will add positive mood for all day long. No matter what accessory you will choose – diadem, beautiful comb or hairclip, it is enough to combine them with your clothes to put it into its real role.
Diadem is my favorite weapon
This summer, bright flowers in hair are breaking – they are a bit retro, a bit romantic and very ladylike.
When you choose diadem, it is mandatory to try it – whether it is convenient, whether it catches hair as you would like and whether it presses your head. Do not make another sacrifice in the name of beauty. Instead, choose suitable diadem. It is not only vision that is important, but so is comfort.
Combs and tacks
Hairclips type tacks are a retro accessory that triumphed this summer. You can find them in two options – long in the shape of Chinese sticks or short ones that only decorate already finished hairstyle, like jewels of Japanese geishas.
Many are encrusted with stones and beads, making them shiny and elegant enough to be suitable for a dinner party.
Hairclips type combs are another retro emphasis returned this summer. This can be understood by the fact that it is favorite choice of Charlize Theron. And quite understandably, one such ornament is always very elegant.
Combs give classic vision and real “French” chic.
Hair jewels
Every hairclip and even every tiny pin can look like real jewel as long as it possesses the glamour needed and is properly used.
Whether used precious or semi-precious stones, glass or wooden beads one such accessory makes hair fresh and your vision considerably hotter.
You can find pins in every color that you believe suitable for you and you will need it in order for your hairstyle to be perfect in every one moment of the day and night.
If you use a shiny pin to capture the strands in the face, this will add shine and sleek look and appearance of your entire vision and completion of the haircut.

Another visitor poked fun at its name.
"Why is everything in Chengdu called 'global'," the poster said.
However, some Internet users were impressed with the complex, which opened on June 28.
"It will become the new landmark of Chengdu," said one poster.
The Global Centre has a marine theme, with fountains, a huge water park and an artificial beach, accented by the undulating roof, meant to resemble a wave.
