Why Scrunchies Work Wonders for Thick Hair

By
  Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels Thick hair comes with its fair share of challenges, especially when it's time to look for the right hair accessory that not only conforms to the width of the strands, but also maintains its durability. For those with luscious locks, the struggle to find a reliable and comfortable hair tie is real. Read on to discover why scrunchies are not just a fashion statement but a practical and effective solution for those with thick hair.  Gentle Hold One of the primary concerns for those with thick hair is the likeliness of damage and breakage caused by hair ties that are either too thin or too tight. Likewise, traditional elastics, such as the classic rubber band, can be incredibly harsh, leading to stress on the hair shaft and the possibility of extensive damage from pulling and tugging on the band. Scrunchies, with their soft and elastic fabric, provide a gentler hold. The larger surface area distributes the pressure more evenly, reducing the risk o

About Lip Balms for Dry Skin

A lip balm is a wax-like substance, which provides a light, creamy ointment that's applied in moderation on the lips. It's formulated with moisturizing ingredients, such as beeswax, carnauba, and petrolatum to hydrate thirsty, dry lips. Some of the best products on the market also contain natural essential oils, like castor oil, shea butter, or coconut oil.  Unless you have extra dry skin, you'll likely need to apply lip balm once a day to lock in the moisture. They're available at a wide range of online stores as well as your local supermarkets and drugstores.

Clear vs. Tinted Lip Balms
Most of the lip balms that you'll find in your local stores are clear, similar to petroleum jelly. Rather than applying a small amount of petroleum jelly to your lips (which is perfectly fine), you can opt for a product that's formulated with a variety of ingredients to ensure that your lips stay moisturized throughout the day. In addition to clear lip balms, the tinted ones are very popular products among women. They add a mild color to your lips while also soothing your dry skin. You can certainly choose to wear a lip balm with a hint of color, which offers a more natural look to your skin when comparing it to more vibrant lipstick shades. 





Vegan Cruelty-Free Lip Balms
In addition to soothing dry lips, vegan, cruelty-free lip balms provide an extra layer of protection against sun damage. They are also created with ingredients that are non-toxic, free of harsh chemicals that may cause skin irritation. I've found that vegan lip balms provide extra conditioning to the lips that last longer than the more traditional products. When applied in small amounts, they also deliver a shiny texture that looks great with everyday makeup.
