Next Big Thing? Eyebrow Hair Transplants

Big brows have come back in fashion strongly (pun intended) in the past few years. The days of over-plucked thin arches are gone, much to the content of Indian and Arab women around the world.

That being said, if you don’t have a naturally thick brow, you can now go in for Eyebrow Hair Transplants. A quick Google search shows that the procedure is already available here in Dubai.

The procedure can take 4-5 hours but in the United States, it costs about USD 6,000! You can also stimulate brow hair growth with eyelash growth serums like Latisse.

In any case, if you are still saving up for that procedure, we recommend good old eyeshadow to fill in those trouble spots. And in case you want to feel a little better about yourself, you can check out these massive eyebrow fails.

Review: ghd Flat Iron

ghds midnight collection sale 6 300x219 Review: ghd Flat IronInspiration for a blog post can strike anytime – this one came to me today at work when my (male) colleague complimented my hair and asked me what I had done differently. I quickly replied back, “nothing much, just straightened it in the morning.”

And then I realized what a long way I have come – thanks to the ghd flat iron. Now forgive me as I launch into a slightly long backstory of how I discovered this fabulous product, but feel free to skip ahead directly to the review. I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to share my favorite beauty tool!

Tuesday Tip – Back to Baby

This is our weekly section, Tuesday Tip. No matter where you work, Tuesdays tend to be the dullest day of the week. So to combat the general “meh”-ness, we bring to you a quick tip to perk up your day!

Tuesday Tip – Issue 15 – Back to Baby

Every few weeks, I head over to the supermarket. Except instead of trolling the food or beauty isles, I’m in the baby section. Why? It seems like when the folks were developing products for keeping babies clean and healthy, they managed to create a range of products perfect for our beauty needs.

Baby Shampoo

Since it’s a mild cleanser, it’s a great facial cleanser for those with sensitive skin or for cleaning up your makeup brushes. It’s also the best way to wash your hair post a ritual of DIY hair treatments.

Baby Oil

This is my go-to moisturizer anytime I’m wearing a short dress or skirt. While moisturizer is great, it doesn’t provide the hint of shine that baby oil does. It also makes a great eye makeup remover providing a great alternate to MAC’s cleanse-off oil while travelling.

Baby Wipes

I often see women at the gym cleaning off their faces with Nivea or L’oréal makeup wipes. I used to be a fan of them, but at 20-30 Dhs for a pack of 20 wipes, they can get expensive. They also would dry out quickly and need to be tossed out. I now swear by baby wipes – they smell fantastic, feel great on the skin and are a bargain at a quarter of the price.

Baby Powder

While my favorite dry shampoo is from Boots, baby powder makes an excellent substitute. It’s also a savior in case you drop an oily food on your clothes. Just sprinkle powder to absorb the oil, and then wash as usual!

So what baby products do you use? Or are there any special multitaskers in your bathroom?

Tuesday Tip – Issue 14 – Men and their Hair Gel

Maybe it’s because we’ve been watching Jersey Shore all week but we felt this week’s Tuesday Tip needed to be devoted towards men and their hair gel.

The right hair can make or break a look and unfortunately, the number one crime against hair we see is the excess use of hair gel.  So this week we decided to get in touch with a guy who always manages to keep his hair looking good, Matt Glassman.

Matty 3 tips for Dollz in Dubai readers are:

  • hair should glisten, but not be reflective;
  • if you accidentally put too much hair gel, use a towel to soak off the excess; and
  • in order to avoid bedhead, when showering in the evening, work in a little gel before you sleep.

There you go guys, no excuses for bad hair days!

Tuesday Tip – Issue 9 – Hippie Headbands

The latest trend the celebrities are rocking this summer are hippie headbands. I like these since they seem to fit in with the summer fashion much better than the preppy headbands favored by Blair of Gossip Girl.  They are especially great to add a pop of color to an otherwise plain outfit.

So next time you are wondering what to do with your hair, channel your inner hippie!
