Step 1 

Apply Dry Shampoo at the roots for added texture. Then apply Smoothing Serum from the mid-shaft to ends for a sleek, lightweight shine.

Step 2

Part the hair into four sections.

Step 3

Use a mini crimper to add some texture and volume at the roots. Be sure to keep heat away from extension tape strips or fusion bonds. If you don’t have a crimper, boost volume using a teasing brush.

Step 4

Pin top section into a little bouffant.

Step 5

Create three braids using the back section of hair.

Step 6

Gently pull on the sides of each braid to make them look fuller.

Step 7

Wrap the right braid around the middle braid and pin into place.

Step 8

Repeat step 7 with the left braid.

Step 9

Wrap the middle braid into a spiral in the center and pin it into place.

Step 10

Twist the front right section of hair inward, leaving a couple of face-framing pieces behind. Then pull it back and pin it.

Step 11

Repeat step 10, but on the left side.

Step 12

Curl remaining hair, using the Infrared Curling Iron.

Step 13

Add in some decorative pins or clips to make the hairstyle pop. Finish with Strong Hold Hairspray.

SHOULD YOU DITCH THE GYM AND WORK OUT AT HOME INSTEAD?

Fitness Pro with the Pros and Cons of at Home Workouts

When it comes to exercise, some people prefer going for a run, others enjoy a spin class, others may prefer a gym while others opt for a workout mat in their living room. To break down the pros and cons of at home workouts, we spoke with Vince Sant, Fitness Expert, Certified Trainer and Co-Founder of V Shred an online fitness portal based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

According to Vince, the key is to create a workout regimen that is sustainable. “You really want to create something that is fun, fast and effective. When considering an at home workout it’s important to get honest and determine if it’s a match for your exercise style and mindset.”

That said, let’s get into it.

Working out from home is convenient!

Roll out of bed, and you can be working out within a few minutes. Sounds easy enough. If that were the case obesity wouldn’t be an issue. Everyone would be in excellent shape. “The truth is some people need to go somewhere to get serious about exercise. Sometimes when things are too convenient, we lose motivation,” explains Vince. This makes sense when we consider why shared office spaces are so popular. Some people need to be outside of the home to be productive. “People who can work out from home are usually great at time management, aren’t distracted, are fully committed and are disciplined,” says Vince. Convenience is clearly both a pro and a con depending on the person.

No more expensive gym fees!

There’s nothing worse than paying for a gym membership that goes unused. Many can relate. Working out from home eliminates these monthly gym payments. This is definitely a pro for many people. “Thanks to mobile technology more and more people are turning to fitness apps and online portals for ‘virtual training.’ When I was creating the many workouts for men and women along with the menu options and recipes, I asked myself what can V Shred offer that would be better than a gym for way less money.” It seems like more and more people are embracing virtual training that also has a nice community feel where people can share their progress in social media groups.

No distractions!

Many people find the gym to be more about socializing than fitness. Many women have to wear earbuds and make it clear through body language that they aren’t interested in being hit on. “The gym is definitely a place where some people see it as a great place to find prospective dates. If you’re into fitness, then the best place to meet someone who is also into fitness would be at the gym. However, I totally empathize with people who want to do their work out without any distraction or awkward interactions,” Vince shares.

Privacy!

Want to bend, grunt and look your absolute worst without any care? Then working out at home is for you. “The majority of guys don’t care about this sort of thing. However, looking cute at the gym is a priority to many women. Aside of their wanting to look good, they also don’t want to be self- conscious as they are on all fours doing leg kicks, on an abductor machine, or grunting while doing that last sumo squat. People who are a bit more private about working out prefer to do it at home.

Kid friendly!

The at-home fitness trend is a favorite to moms who work from home and want to get fit while watching their little ones. “Many moms complain that they could never go to a gym with a baby or toddler. Some gyms offer kiddie care but it’s not the same as putting down a mat with your child right there. It also raises kids with exercise a part of their day right from the start, which is very important,” says Vince.

No machines!

Many people avoid the gym because they feel intimidated by the machines and weights. Some people who train at home choose to add basic equipment such as resistance bands, exercise balls, weight balls, kettlebells, jump rope, and weights. Vince assures people that they can get amazing results with no equipment at all. In fact, one of the things he wanted to offer people through his V Shred workouts were a plethora of equipment-free workout options that use the body as resistance.

“If machines aren’t your thing, then at home high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can work wonders. The key is mixing up different moves and challenging yourself. Getting creative with moves and music can keep things efficient, effective and fun,” says Vince.

For those who prefer zoning out on a treadmill, stationary bike or elliptical, these machines can be bought and added to a home gym if space allows.

Regardless of whether you choose to keep the gym membership or create an at-home routine sticking with it is key. “Either way you really need accountability, especially in the beginning or when you are working towards a specific goal. This was why I decided to offer virtual trainers in the V Shred platform. Mindset is everything when it comes to fitness. It’s important to have a real expert to support you along the way,” Vince says.

Theatre Director Marina Montesanti Talks Industry Trends!

Marina Montesanti has experienced and lived a life so far that has made her one of the most in-demand theatre directors of her generation. Marina, a globetrotter who has immersed herself in the world and is here now to bring unity and representation to the stage, has lived in Brazil, Argentina, South Africa and now resides in New York City. She has won countless awards for her groundbreaking productions in theatre, whereas she translates non-English works and tells the stories on stage that others have been too scared to bring to light.

Besides directing, Marina is also known for her conservative, yet trendy fashion sense, and how she brings her own personality to her productions. We sat down with Marina for a fun chat about the trends happening in her industry and her own personal style and career successes….

NICK NORTHSTAR: How would you describe your own personal style – both while at home and while directing?

MARINA MONTESANTI: At work, I tend to wear all blacks. At home, I like to wear earthy colorful dresses. I love everything that can give someone else a glimpse of my personality or way of being.

NN: What are some of your favorite beauty products that you use to get red-carpet and show ready?

MM: My savior product is eyeliner from MAC because it can go from day to night and tie a look together. It really depends on the make-up designers and the product they see best fit.

NN: Who have been some of your role models in your career?

MM: Michael Greif, Tina Landau, Edward Sheblak, Gabriela Gutierrez, David Mendizábal

NN: What is your all-time favorite play?

MM: Oh, so many! Our Lady of Kibeho by Katori Hall transformed me in so many ways.

NN: What trends in the theatre world are you loving right now?

MM: Ensuring the audience involvement is not passive, but emotionally and intellectually active. A theatre that invites the audience to be on the edge of their seats.

NN: What changes in the entertainment industry would you like to see changed moving forward?

MM: Representation. We need to look at all ingrained systemic layers that the business is running on to truly make it inclusive – in front of and behind the camera.

NN: What is your advice to anyone wanting to get into the entertainment industry?

MM: Networking is really important. But, make sure its genuine and true. Find people that share a similar mission as you. Ask for advice. Ask if you can be in their room in any capacity, even just watching rehearsal…you never know when something will go wrong and you will be asked to jump in.

NN: What is your definition of “Glam”?

MM: Natural glow of happiness – it all comes from the inside.

NN: How does the style where you currently live in New York compare to that in Brazil and elsewhere that you have previously lived?

MM: It is very similar. Culture has a big impact on stamps, colors, and cut. In Brazil, I see more vivid colors with a sense of freedom in its tropical nature. New York has one of the most unique ways of self-expression through clothing – you can literally see someone’s personality glow by their garments.

NN: What projects do you have coming up this year?

MM: One play and two musicals! While She Sleeps by Jo Bilac. EXI(S)T which I am developing with Nicole Sousa and another new revolutionary musical by Jesse Sanchez.

How to Give Your Hair a Makeover

There’s something about the new year that inspires many people to want to change their looks or switch up their style. Most people make resolutions to eat better and exercise more, while others opt for a more immediate change and reinvent their wardrobes. Still others choose to change their hair. If you are one of those people looking to makeover their hair, here are a few ways you can go about it:

Hair Extensions

For an instant, dramatic transformation, consider wearing hair extensions or a wig. If you have short or shoulder length hair, you can have long, luscious locks that still look completely natural with some high quality hair extensions. This is a great option if you have a big event coming up soon and can’t grow out your hair in time, or if you just want to try out some long hairstyles and still have the option to switch back to your short hair without getting a haircut. For gorgeous, lustrous hair extensions and wigs, look no further than True Glory Hair. Their premium virgin hair extensions and wigs are extremely well made, super soft, and are guaranteed to last years without shedding (with proper care and maintenance.)

Choose from a wide array of options, including their Virgin Indian Collection, Classic Brazilian Collection, Brazilian Wig Collection, and Remy Hair Extensions. The latter is one of the most popular choices for hair extensions as they are naturally bouncy and light, and very easy to curl and style.

Intensive Treatments

If your hair has been looking lifeless, dull or lackluster, it may be time to breathe new life back into your mane by giving it some intensive treatment. African-American hair requires plenty of moisture to maintain its natural bounce and shine, and it can get especially dehydrated during the cold winter months. Try a rich oil treatment at a salon to give your hair a much needed boost.

Between treatments, avoid washing your hair in hot water or with shampoos that contain sulfates and harsh ingredients. Always condition your hair with a moisturizing conditioner, and follow this up with a nourishing oil like coconut or argan oil. Then wrap your hair in a silk scarf before you sleep to retain moisture and wake up to beautiful, bouncy and frizz free curls.

Hair Color

Changing your hair color is one way to completely change your look. If you’re brave enough to go all out, try a bright or bold color like vibrant purple or mermaid shades of blue, green and turquoise. One of this year’s hottest colors is Living Coral, Pantone’s official color of the year for 2019. It’s not for the faint of heart, but this striking color is very on trend, and can suit a wide range of skin tones, whether you are light or dark, or if you have a warm undertone or a cool one. This stunning shade would also be perfect for ushering in spring, and would also be great to wear during the summer.

If crazy rainbow colors aren’t your thing, or if you work in an office where more subdued and conservative hairstyles are preferred, you can choose to simply go a few shades lighter than your natural hair color. Caramel brown is an almost universally flattering shade to go with, as are redder tones like mahogany brown or auburn. You could also go blonde; light ash blonde looks gorgeous against darker skin tones, while honey blonde can give you that carefree, sunkissed beach girl vibe.

However you decide to makeover your hair, try not to overthink it. Have fun with it and do whatever feels right and makes you feel good. The important thing is to do what makes you feel beautiful so you can step out into the year with confidence and joy.

Your most embarassing fitness questions answered by a fitness guru

www.Vshred.com

If you follow fitness trainers or enthusiasts on Instagram, we are besieged by women at the gym who look supremely confident, airbrushed and without a bead of sweat. The reality is, most of us don’t look or smell our best after a tough workout.  Not everyone is comfortable walking into a class of strangers in form-fitting gym clothes.  And what about the sounds our bodies make when we are working out?  What about those of us who want to exercise but feel we are too heavy to even begin a program?  Fortunately, we have Certified Fitness Trainer, Model Turned Fitness Expert, Instagram Fitness Guru & YouTube Sensation Vince Sant, co-founder of the online platform www.vshred.com  to answer the questions you are too shy to ask. 

Why do I let out a little pee when I exercise?

Vince Sant explains that “This is very common amongst anyone who’s had a child. the term is stress incontinence, meaning you involuntarily leak out a little urine. It can happen when you exercise, laugh, or even sneeze.” First and foremost, don’t be embarrassed. Nearly every woman that’s given birth has experienced this. There are, however, two things you can do to improve stress incontinence says Vince, “Learn how to do Kegels, and practice engaging your pelvic floor in Pilates-based exercises. Both of these actions can help strengthen your pelvic floor and reduce the severity of your stress incontinence.”

Will running make my boobs sag?

 “Sag happens to all breasts that are natural. It’s normal for the collagen that keeps breasts firm to stretch out thanks to gravity, time, pregnancy, weight gain, or weight loss.” Although there’s limited research, Vince Sant says, “The up and down motion of running could logically contribute to sagging as well, but the health benefits of running definitely outweigh that possibility. If you wear the right sports bra, your breasts shouldn’t experience a lot of movement anyway. So, don’t be afraid to run!’

Why do I seem to sweat so much more than other people at the gym?

“How much you sweat is really individual, and it doesn’t necessarily mean anything positive or negative about your exercising ability,” says Vince. On average, men tend to sweat more than women, and if you are overweight you may sweat more near the end of your workout because it takes more for your body to cool itself down. Ultimately, it’s not a bad thing if you find yourself drenched in sweat while the person next to you on their machine seems to be relatively dry.

Why does running long distances make me have to poop?

Long distance running can aggravate some people’s digestive systems, particularly if you suffer from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). But you don’t necessarily have to have pre-existing digestive issues to get some unpleasant stomach symptoms on long runs. For example, studies show that as much as 50% of runners in a 10k race experience digestive issues, including runner’s trots. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about, but there are things you can do to combat the unpleasant reality of urgent, frequent bathroom trips. Vince suggests avoiding high-fiber foods a few days before a big race, staying well-hydrated, and avoid caffeine.

Why do I tend to pass gas during certain yoga poses?

Passing gas during the occasional downward dog is extremely common. Why? You’re bending and stretching, which massages the internal organs—which can sometimes stimulate your digestion. (There’s even a yoga pose called “wind reliever). Vince recommends, limiting any high fiber snacks beforehand, and stretching before your actual class to “eliminate” ahead of time.

What’s the best way to start exercising if I am completely out of shape?

Literally just put one foot in front of the other. A Chinese Philosopher once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” And walking is nothing to be ashamed of. Vince stresses that “It really is exercise and there are all kinds of athletic people and celebrities in amazing shape who use it to stay that way. Get a pedometer and take at least 10,000 ‘baby steps’ a day and start improving your fitness.”

I have gym anxiety. What should I do?

There are four psychological reasons for gym anxiety: Not being sure what to do, comparing yourself to other people in the gym, feeling like people are judging you, and feeling like you don’t belong. What are a few ways to reduce gym anxiety?

Vince Sant provides some tips:

Ask friends how they feel about their own programs. You can even try to go to the gym with a friend, which is a great way to stop feeling like you’re getting judged.

Watch YouTube videos for each of the exercises you plan to do on your first day at the gym.

Wear workout clothes that you feel are both flattering and comfortable.

Pick a gym that is known for being more low key as opposed to a “meat market” or a “sceney gym.”

If going to the gym is too anxiety provoking, you can try an online fitness platform such as www.vshred.com

My Skin Chafes almost Everywhere: My Butt Cheeks, Under My Arms, Inner Thighs, How Do I Reduce the Pain?

Skin-to-skin and skin-to-clothing rubbing can cause a red, raw rash that can bleed, sting, and cause pain during your post-workout shower. Moisture and salt on the body make it worse. Underarms, inner thighs, along with the bra line (women), and nipples (men) are vulnerable spots. Vince advises, “Wear moisture-wicking, seamless, tagless gear. The fit is important. Baggy shirts have excess material that can cause irritation; a too-snug sports bra can dig into skin. Apply Vaseline, sports lube, Band-Aids or Nip Guards before you run. And moisturize after you shower. Drier skin tends to chafe more.

Am I too overweight to work out?

Forget the fancy equipment, you don’t need anything to start. Keep it low impact and rest when you need to. For example, Vince suggests the following, “Jog for 30 seconds. It doesn’t matter if you have to walk for 5 minutes to get your breath back, just do it, then jog for another 30 seconds. Do that 3 times. Then when you’ve done that for a couple of days, jog for 10 more seconds each time. Then only take 4.5 minutes to get your breath back. And as you lower the rest time, repeat it 5 times instead of 3. Keeping the overall workout time at around 20 minutes total is fine.” If you haven’t exercised for a while, the body heat, breathlessness, and sore muscles can be off-putting, but those feelings quickly become more manageable.     If you have any concerns about your health and ability to work out, always consult with your doctor first.

Korean beauty products are created with the Korean beauty philosophy in mind

K Beauty Doctor Breaks Boundaries

Korean beauty products are created with the Korean beauty philosophy in mind and designed to work long-term by nurturing the skin starting at the root. The long-term, gentle approach is what really helps skin get that glow that truly beams with that signature “K-beauty healthy and hydrated look”.

Meet Dr. Jenelle Kim, the Queen of Korean Skincare and formulator of Cannabis Beauty Defined, the first-ever Korean skincare line that incorporates CBD oil into traditional K-beauty products to further enhance the benefits your skin already receives from traditional skincare.

CBD hemp oil has a huge range of skincare benefits due to it being loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties to protect against aging skin. Hemp oils act as a barrier to strengthen and soothe skin and protect it from sun damage. Your body absorbs the oil, too, allowing the benefits of the CBD to go beyond just your face.

Forbes Magazine predicts the multi-billion dollar CBD industry to grow 700% by 2020 with Dr. Kim standing in the frontline as a massive contributor to this number with her luxury skincare line. So, who is the woman that disrupted the beauty industry with her CBD infused products? Dr. Jenelle Kim, a skin enthusiast who’s passionate about her purpose to change the way we nourish our skin is inspired by Eastern philosophies and her Korean lineage to create products that change not only how we look on the outside, but how we feel internally.
