How to look handsome and smart all day long

1. Be confident.
Nothing—not bone structure, not a haircut, not even sensible shoes—will do more for how you are perceived than exuding a sense of self-confidence. Cultivate it, work to achieve it, and follow the steps in this section to build it. Just be aware that it can't be faked—it has to come from the inside.

2. Stand-up straight. 
Hunching over can not only cause back problems but makes you look as if you have no self-confidence. Sit-up straight too, for the same reasons.

3. Smile.
Smiling will make you appear happy. confident, and outgoing. It will also keep you from looking tired and in despair.

4. Look people in the eye.
It's only polite when talking to someone to look them in the eye. Don't stare—look at different parts of their face occasionally, but beyond that, maintaining good eye contact will show confidence and self-assuredness on your end.

5. Establish a sense of style. 
Your clothes and how you wear them say a lot about you, and will have an effect on how people perceive you. Wearing unflattering or extremely poorly-sized clothing says you don't care about how you present yourself.
The particular style is not as much a factor as how you wear it. You can wear whatever style is comfortable for you, whether it be trendy, alternative, casual or sporty, as long as it's appropriate to who you are. For example, if you're 30, and dress like you're 15, you'll look like you're trying to recapture your youth, not like you're a trendy 15-year-old. The same is true for any style—if it doesn't accurately reflect who you are, it will be seen as either clueless or fake. Neither impression will suggest "handsome" to anybody.

6. Keep an eye out for men you consider well dressed. 
When you're at a mall or walking down the street, take note of guys who appear to be fashionable. What things do you first notice?
Women often look at shoes—a detail many guys gloss over. Because so many guys gloss over that part, taking the time to select, wear, and maintain a nice pair of shoes is a great way to boost how you're perceived.

7. Adopt signature pieces. 
Having a signature item of clothing can help you stand out and draw attention to your style. Take Steve Jobs, for example. His signature look was a black turtleneck, blue jeans, and New Balance running shoes.
Jewelry, such as a trademark ring, necklace, or watch can be effective, and useful too.
Tinted shades. You should only wear these outdoors, but a good pair of aviators or tinted shades draws attention to your face.
Cologne. Avoid run-of-the-mill cologne and get a scent that no one else has. This can be a great conversation starter. Don't wear too much, though, or the conversation it starts will be behind your back, and it won't be complimentary.

8.Keep hands and fingernails clean and neat.
Wash your hands regularly. Your fingernails should be free of dirt and trimmed evenly. Do not bite your fingernails, or chew on your cuticles—you'll look nervous and neurotic.

9.Take time to comb and style your hair. 
With extremely rare (and often accidental) exception, walking out of the house with bed head never looks good. Wash and brush your hair on a regular basis. If you have the time and inclination, consider using a paste or gel to style your hair, but follow the "less is more" rule with styling products, and don't use too much.

10. Care for your skin. 
Many people, perhaps unfairly, associate bad skin with bad hygiene. Wash your face thoroughly, especially after any physical activity. Avoid razor burn if at all possible. If you're prone to acne or other skin conditions, see a dermatologist to help you get your skin in shape.

11. Take showers. Do this every day—it's an invigorating way to start the day, and looking clean and smelling good doesn't hurt in the perception department, either!

12. Eat healthy.
Eating healthy will help with many things such as keeping a good weight, avoiding cavities, having a good complexion, and being energetic.

13. Sleep well.
Getting eight hours or more of sleep every night will do wonders for your complexion, energy and overall appearance.

14. Exercise regularly.
Looking handsome goes beyond your style. Exercising regularly not only helps with your appearance, confidence, and energy, but releases endorphins that make you feel good, and therefore more appealing to others.

How to grow beard and moustache faster

Facial hair has always been a symbol of masculinity. Men show off their beards and moustaches with great pride. Many styles have come and gone, but nothing could deter the popular appeal of facial hair. If you’re hoping to sport a fashionable beard, mustache or goatee, you’re probably wondering how to grow facial hair faster to avoid the unsightly in-between stage.  If you’re in a rush to grow out your facial hair, try the following techniques to see what works for you. These guidelines will help you grow facial hair faster. Dr S Sareen, a Member of Asian association of hair restoration surgeons and of Dr Sareen Hair Clinic gives us the 14 best ways to grow facial hair.

1. Make sure you  sleep well as this will help repair your damaged skin cells and promote beard growth.

2. Certain vitamins and minerals help increase the speed at which facial hair grows. Include Vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin E in your diet as they speed up the hair growth process.

3. Clean skin encourages small hair to grow. Keep your skin clean. Wash it with warm water and a mild cleanser every morning and evening.

4. One of the noted side effects ofsmoking is hair loss. Nicotine from cigarette smoke hinders your body's ability to absorb nutrients needed for hair growth and decreases blood circulation by constricting blood vessels. Avoid smoking to increase facial hair growth.

5. Beards will grow more quickly when you are relaxed, and many beauty and health experts believe hair reveals stress. Manage stress in healthy ways through meditation and yoga for better results.

6. Increase the amount of protein in your diet. Protein found in meat, fish, eggs and nuts will help the hair grow more quickly on your face.

7. Exfoliate your skin once a week. Removing dead skin cells will promote hair growth.

8. Facial massage improves blood circulation to the face, which will stimulate new hair growth.

9. Moisturised skin creates a better environment for facial hair to grow quickly, which will create a beard fast. Use a cream or moisturiser with eucalyptus as an ingredient

10. Check your face for ingrown hairs. Beards will not grow in evenly if you have ingrown hairs on your face.

11. Incorporate vitamin B into your diet. Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 are especially useful in helping hair grow quickly.

12. Hair cannot grow without proper nutrients in the body, and fruits and veggies provide several vitamins and minerals, which are needed for hair to grow  quickly.

13. Eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water to keep the body operating at its optimal level to increase  hair growth.

14. Amla oil is one of the natural remedies to increase facial hair. Massage with amla oil and leave for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with cold water and then clean the face.

NOTE -: Avoid sweets and fast food for better results.

How to keep Hair stylish all day long

Did you know that one of the hottest hair trends for summer 2016 is bangs? I know, sounds crazy right? Your first instinct is to push all that hair up and away from your face so you’d hardly think bangs would be summer 2016’s breakout hair trend but they are! There are tons of ways to style and wear them and also hide them away every now and then.
Most people believe that bangs take a lot of work if you want them to look good. If you’re forever struggling with the straightener or freaking out about parting your hair to one side and sending your bangs off-kilter or wondering how the elements are going to work their magic on your forehead today, you’re not alone. But what makes bangs really hot this summer is your ability to take all of the aforementioned concerns and toss them to a side- because at the very heart of it, style is about being happy and to quote Audrey Hepburn, “Happy girls are the prettiest.”
So, here’s some great advice on how to wear bangs for summer 2016 from your friendly neighborhood stylist.
1. It Needs To Be Good, Not Perfect
There’ll be days when your fringe is flat-out fabulous, and days when it’s frightful. Don’t beat yourself up trying to make it look just right. There’s no such thing as a perfect fringe- only what looks good on you. If you go about trying to get your hair to look like a celebrity or a friend or something you saw on Pinterest, you’re setting a very unrealistic standard. And there’s no guarantee that something that looks good on someone else is going to turn out the same way on you. When it comes to bangs, it’s always safer to go with something that works for your face type, structure, features and lifestyle because bangs are such a visible style element that you really don’t want to have to struggle with them or hate them on a daily basis.
2. Make Shampoos Last Longer
It can be tempting to wash your hair daily, especially when the weather’s muggy, but styling everyday is never a good idea. Instead of rushing through your shower and using whatever products you've got stocked up, make an effort to use the right products for you and really cleanse your hair. This way you can go a day or two (maybe more depending on where you live and your scalp type) between shampoos and you can style your bangs to last longer between washes. You don’t have to wash and blow-dry your bangs daily for them to look good- you just have to clean properly and style right.
3. Dry Shampoo To The Rescue
You don’t always have to jump into the shower the second your bangs start looking limp: a little sprinkling of dry shampoo can perk your bangs up instantly, freshening up the hair and breathing renewed life into the efforts you’ve made to style your fringe. This way, your efforts and styling products can last longer and you can feel better about putting your hair through minimal styling this summer, while still looking polished. Because bangs need regular attention, only work some dry shampoo into the roots with your fingers instead of spraying it all over, as most of us are prone to do. This will help prevent product build-up, while letting the dry shampoo act like a barrier between your forehead skin and the hair to prevent oiliness and weighing down.
4. Choose Bangs That Compliment Your Natural Hair Texture
Don’t start with a look in mind when you’re choosing bangs: use your own hair as an entry point into a new look. If you ask your stylist for a cut that needs daily styling to work with your natural hair type, you’re going to find yourself very frustrated or giving up real quick. It can be tiring to have to blow-dry or straighten or otherwise style your hair daily and there will be times when you just aren’t able to. Instead of subjecting yourself to weird forehead days, ask your stylist for bangs that work well for you. If you’ve got fine hair, wispy bangs will fall beautifully without any effort on your part. If you’ve got thick, straight hair you’re one of the enviable few who can opt for a full, blunt short fringe across the forehead and if you have curly hair you can opt for a shaggy, layered do with bangs that are shaped like a horseshoe.
5. The Secret Speedy Blow-dry
If you do want to boost your blow-dry but don’t have the time or energy to style, here’s a quick trick: dampen your bangs with some water on your finger tips and quickly direct a hairdryer at them. It’s a mini blow-dry in moments.
6. Invest In The Right Tools
Some of you always keep bangs, or tend to return to them every few seasons and for such people it makes sense to buy styling tools that do an exceptional job with bangs.
Using a flat iron on your bangs day-in and day-out is a really bad idea and pretty soon you’ll notice the stark difference in quality between your bangs and the rest of your hair. Pro stylists will always tell you to use a blow dryer to style your bangs instead. And if you find yourself returning to bangs often, I recommend buying a rotating hairbrush. These take all the effort and guesswork out of styling and are absolutely genius for bangs and for short/ medium hairstyles. You can get a salon-esque blow-dry in minutes at home and save tons of money and time in the long run.
It also helps to use brushes according to your hair type: if your hair is curly/ wavy, use a round brush to work out the texture and frizz; if your hair is naturally straight, a boar bristle paddle brush is a better idea.
7. Ditch The Conditioner
While it’s important to condition your hair frequently, avoid using it on your bangs. Conditioner tends to weigh hair down and make it slick, which is the last thing you want for your bangs. Skipping conditioner will keep hair around the forehead lighter, bouncier and less oily for longer. You can condition sometimes, but be sure to rinse really, really well.
The comforting thing about this tip is that since bangs typically don’t have a whole lot of length to them and hair close to the roots is usually baby hair, it’s naturally soft and healthy and doesn't need conditioning like the mid and long lengths. So you’re not really doing any damage or stripping your hair of TLC by avoiding conditioner along the hairline.
Use these tips to keep your hair sexy and summer-friendly this season. If you find that sporting bangs tends to get a little difficult while you’re out and about during the day, keep a pack of oil-blotting sheets in your bag along with a tiny container of dry shampoo for quick, on-the-go touch-ups.
