Sunbathing Sensibly

Are you confused about the conflicting advice on staying out in the sun recently?

We've always been advised to stay out of the sun as it increases the risk of skin cancer.  Yet now we're being told that a little sun helps to produce Vitamin D which may reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.

As ever, it seems that too much of a good thing is what we need to avoid - and that old phrase "moderation in everything" once again seems to have proven itself.

Healthy Smoothies for Glowing Skin and Hair

Quick note - with so much fruit being in season - now is the time to whisk up your own vitamin-packed smoothies.

Try using orange or apple juice and adding bananas, grapes, kiwi fruit - and whatever fruit you've got to hand - and whisking it all up in the liquidiser or blender. 

Homemade smoothies taste different every time - but that's half the fun!

Hairdressers, Prices, Men & Women

One thing that has always puzzled me - how is it that men seem to pay so much less for getting their hair cut than women ?

For example, my sixteen year old son had a haircut last week at the barber that cost him just £10.  The hair cut took about 40 minutes.

My own haircuts (much as I love them) cost around £35 and take about the same time.

Does anyone else find it rather strange that women pay so much more - even though the time spent is about the same?

By the way, I wouldn't want to go anywhere else but my current hairdresser, she's great and does wonders with my curly hair .

Cool Hair Care site

As a popular site on hair, we often get contacted by other related sites.

You can find out some cool hair care tips at the Hair Parlor website.

Do let us know your favorite sites - we'd love to review them and add them to our recommended sites.

Making Money from your Passion !

We've all probably wondered how we could make money from something we enjoy - such as writing about fashion and hair.

But have you ever really wondered if you could make money without working so hard?

If you've not come across Squidoo lenses before, they're a free way to set up a moneymaking website or page.

Some people use them to raise money for charity or get publicity for their chosen cause, others just enjoy writing about whatever is their passion - there's lenses about subjects from Updos to Beef Jerky!

If you've already got a website or blog, are you using affiliate programs to make additional revenue? There's a number of popular hair products and programs that you can promote - for example, you can click here to join the Stellure hair affiliate program. 

Don't just add the affiliate link, but write something about it, having reviewed the website and products yourself - it's your own enthusiasm and honesty that'll inspire people to buy.
