Swimsuits for Every Body Type

As we all know this is swimsuit season however, many of you might be wondering what is the best swimsuit for your body type. Well here are a few tips to help you choose the best swimsuit for you.

Small on top:

The best swimsuit for you small chested ladies is one with embellishments such as fringe, ruffles or frills on the top. These elements will draw the eyes up and create the illusion of volume on the top. Swimsuits with under wire or adjustable straps can add some lift and add cleavage. You can also look for a suit with a little bit of padding in the top.

Busty

If you are busty or full at top you should try a swim suit with under wire that gives you the support and lift like a bra. A v- neck one piece suit is also flattering for your body type because it will elongate your figure, while minimising the fullness of your breast.

 

A Bit of a Belly

If you have a bit of a belly, you should try a belted one piece suit. This type of swimsuit will cinch in your waist and give you that sexy hour glass figure. One piece swim suits with ruching are also great for gals with a bigger tummy since the ruching camouflages whatever you have to hide.

 

Bigger Booty

If you have a bigger booty you should look for a swim suit with a plunging neckline. This type of suit will bring attention to your face and help to balance you out. A swimsuit with a darker bottom and lighter top will have a great slimming effect.

I hope these tips help you to choose the best swimsuit for your body.

Summer Hair Care

So summer is here and many of you will be spending a lot of time in the pool or at the beach. Although this is the time of year to have a little fun, hair care should not be neglected. Here are a few of my tips for ensuring that  your hair makes it through the summer in good shape.

1. Switch to sulphate free shampoo. Sulphate containing shampoos can be very drying to the hair and can strip the hair of valuable moisture.Since you will be washing your hair more than usually you would not want to use a shampoo that is too harsh for your tresses.Examples of sulphate free shampoos are L'oreal Everpure, Pureology Hydrate Shampoo.

2. Use a leave- in conditioner very time you wash your hair. A leave in conditioner will help to smooth the cuticle and reduce frizz as well as maintains the moisture levels in your hair. Examples of good leave in conditioners are: Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Leave- in, Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 Miracle Worker, Nexxus Humectress.

3.Air dry as much as possible. Your hair will already take a beating from the incessant heat of the summer sun so there is therefore no need to dish out more punishment to your strands by constant blow drying.

4. Before going into the pool or the beach, saturate your hair from root to tip with conditioner. You may also saturate your hair with coconut oil before you go into the water. The coconut oil will penetrate the hair shaft and protect it from the chlorine and salt water.

If you follow these summer hair care tips your hair should make it through the summer in pretty good shape.
