Nath or Not to Nath ?


Nath or not to nath 1
Originating from the Mughals, the true ambassadors of jewellery crafted with artistic detail, detailed with intricate stonework and chains to enhance to overall beauty of the ornament, this is the era that inspires me.
The Nose ring also known as ‘nath’ is a jewellery ornament that represents culture, beauty and most importantly martial symbolic value for South Asian brides.
When deciding on your perfect wedding dress, the jewellery should not be an afterthought. The right jewellery should show off your beautiful wedding dress and make you feel fantastic, all day long.   So when discussing bridal jewellery with clients, there is a topic that I love to mention…

TO WEAR A NOSE RING ON THE WEDDING DAY OR NOT?

We have access to different types of accessories available to wear today for fashion purposes. However, to wear this ornament on your wedding day adds traditional attractiveness and timeless value to complete your bridal look.
Currently, traditional bridal jewellery is here to stay so why not take inspiration from the versatility and symbolic value that the nath brings to your wedding jewels. Here are my favourite types of nose ring looks to consider:

LARGE NATH: THE ULTIMATE TIMELESS CLASSIC!

Nath or not to nath 2
From royal significance to a bollywood bridal favourite as seen on Aishwarya Rai in Jodha Akbar. Make a traditional statement with this type of nose ring. I adore a large nath whether plain, covered in semi precious stones, kundan or pearls.

SMALL NATH: THE SUBTLE LOOK!

Nath or not to nath 3
A elegant and lighter jewel that will compliment your entire traditional attire. This is a popular choice among brides especially if you want your head jewels or necklace/haar to do the talking, after all balance is essential.

DECORATED MULTI CHAIN NATH: BE DARING, MAKE A STATEMENT!

Nath or not to nath 4
This nath style will make your bridal look unique. An excellent way to stand out with decorated layers of chain going up all the way to the hair with spaced out pearls/semi precious stones falling onto the face. Remember your multi chain nath won’t be as extravagant as in the picture!

MAHARASHTRA NATH:  CHANNEL THE LOOK OF MILLIONS!

Nath or not to nath 5
In Maharashtra, women wear this unique pearl nose pin on the side the nose which enhances the beauty of the overall look with the addition of tradition. I just can’t get enough of how Actress Genelia D’Souza looked with this nath at her Masharashtrian style wedding. She like many millions of ladies in India wore an intricately designed ornament that signifies much more than a nose ring.

THE KUNDAN: MESMERIZING ROYALTY

Nath or not to nath 6
Elegance and royalty brought to our eyes by Sonam Kapoor at Cannes 2013, YES not a bridal look. BUT if you are wearing kundan jewellery on your big day this is the style nath to take into consideration.

THE DOS AND DON’TS OF THE NATH…

DO..

Your research! From the social media to catwalks we have plenty of resources around us. But you have the most reliable sources around you. Ask your mother, aunt and grandmother of their experiences!
DON’T leave it to the wedding day! The last thing you need on the day of your wedding is to worry about your nose ring. My advice is to try your nath on as soon as you purchase it at home or at your bridal trial so you have how it will fall onto your face and comfort levels are crucial!

DO..

buy the nath apart of your bridal jewels; one consistent jeweller is essential to ensure you have consistent craftsmanship that brings the entire look together. Again research well, this is your grand occasion make the jewels be memorable.
DON’T be put off from the nath because your nose is not pierced, the option of clip on nose rings are available.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY…

Please DON’T rule out wearing a nath because you are not happy with your nose! Challenge this perception you have and I know it is hard to embrace flaws you have grown to dislike, but your features are what represents personality, character and what makes you…you!

Which Hairbrush is Best for your Hair?


When it comes to buying a hairbrush – quite possibly, the most commonly used beauty tool – many of us just grab the first one we see off the shelf. However, as I tell my clients as well, using the right hairbrush can make a big difference in maintaining healthy hair and how effectively you are able to style it. For example, just like one cannot (and should not!) use a blush brush to apply eye shadow, hairbrushes – in the same way – come in various sizes and shapes that are designed to do specific functions.

NATURAL BRISTLE BRUSH VS SYNTHETIC BRISTLE BRUSH

First of all, let’s talk about bristles. Brushes of varying shapes and sizes are with natural bristles, synthetic bristles, or a combination of the two. Natural bristles are derived from various animals like squirrels, goats, horses, boars, etc. It is recommended that people with thicker hair should use synthetic bristle brushes as it can be easier to de-tangle and will cause less static, and people with fine to normal hair textures should use natural bristle brushes as the bristles are softer and are easier on thin hair textures. Brushes also come in a natural-synthetic bristle mix and are often called ‘porcupine brushes’. These brushes are good for normal to thick hair, and it combines the benefit of natural bristles mixed together with nylon quills, that help in de-tangling coarser hair.

PADDLE BRUSH:  FOR EVERYTHING!

This brush is the whole package deal! Paddle brushes usually have bristles coming out of a soft pad and are great for massaging the scalp, detangling, and smoothing naturally straight hair. It’s also great for other hair types. The air-filled rubber cushion is designed to bend with your scalp to minimize damage from pulling. It would be the ideal brush for anyone that feels that their hair straightens easily when heat is applied.

ROUND BRUSH: FOR BLOWOUTS

Round brushes can be used for any blow dry look you’re going for and they are great for both creating styles with body or smoothing down the hair. Round brushes give you great control during styling.

METAL BRUSH: TO CREATE CURLS

I tell all my stylists to avoid using metal brushes on wet hair as they tend to pull and damage hair. However, they are a perfect tool to use as a finisher since they can smooth down a final look. I would recommend using it to hold a curl in place or to create height at the roots during the finishing stages of a hairdo.

VENTED BRUSH: FOR VOLUME

If you blowdry your hair a lot, these brushes can be of great help. These brushes have holes or openings through the back and are designed to help decrease blow-drying time by allowing air to flow through the brush to the hair. Vented designs are available in paddle and round brushes and are good for creating and augmenting texture, and adding volume.

WIDE-TOOTH COMB: FOR DE-TANGLING

If you have sensitive and thin hair, this comb is perfect for you. Wide tooth combs are what you want to use for de-tangling, especially if you’re in the shower or right after you get out of the shower. Avoid brushing damp hair – instead, always use a wide-toothed comb!

  TAIL  COMB: TO SMOOTH HAIR OR BACKCOMB

If you’re looking to style bangs or separate hair while flat ironing, choose a smaller toothed comb because they grab the root. These combs are mostly used to tease hair or for backcombing. A piece of advice: Use a matte tail comb over a shiny tail comb as it will give you more control and your sections won’t fly around everywhere.
