How to Choose a Shampoo

Step1:Identify your hair type. Is it oily? Normal? Consult your hairdresser if necessary.

Step2:Feel lucky if you have normal hair. Choose a shampoo that is made specifically for normal hair, and make sure it’s meant for daily or every-other-day washes.

Step3:Choose a gentle shampoo that is made specifically for oily hair and/or for daily use, if your hair gets greasy. Make sure it has ingredients like tea tree oil, sage oil and chamomile.

Step4:Opt for a moisturizing shampoo for curly hair, and a protein-based shampoo for kinky hair.

Step5:Read the label on a protein-based shampoo and make sure that protein is listed as one of the first ingredients, followed by shea butter, glycerin, sulfur or carotene.

Step6:Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner every day for hair that’s been dyed, bleached or highlighted.

Well, the competition for the best new designer of women lingerie is well underway.

In Tokyo, on Monday, at the Bunka Fashion College young new designers competed for Japan's position in the internation competition for the Triumph Inspiration Award 2009.

Another model wore golden tree root panties with golden fruit bra top and matching purse.

A sea theme includes a bra of fish and seaweed with bracelets made of corral, panties with a coral reef look and knee high stockings with sea scenes.

For the bad girl look in lingerie, a model wore a armor looking metal thong panty and armor gladiator bra top complete with head mask.

The winner of the Japanese leg of the competition was Yukino Kurosu, a 21 years old 3rd year student at Bunka Fashion.

The designer created a green and yellow pant like combination of panty, bra and knee high stocks which the designer referred to as her lucky undies.

Her design will be entered into the international Triumph Inspiration Award 2009 competition to be held in Milan, Italy.

The online community will also have an opportunity to vote on the best design by casting their own vote between August 31 to September 13, 2009 at the Triumph Inspiration Award 2009.
