Instead, you’ve got longer hair,plait it while it’s still damp. Once it’s dry,you could let it down for loose waves orsoft curls, which would certainly add atouch of glamour. Up-dos, especially thepony tail, are also big this season andthey can certainly offer a low-maintenance option. Split ends, if leftunchecked, can work their way upwardsleaving hair dull and unmanageable soit’s well worth arranging a session at yoursalon before you jet off.Like the rest of your body, you’ve gotto keep your hair hydrated in thesummer.

It's then injected into the face orneck, where it reduces fine lines and wrinkles, makes the skin tighter and improves texture."Looks also offers other non-surgical treatments, including the eight point facelift, where dermalfillers are put in eight different places to improve volume and texture all over your face.To find out more, and to book a free consultation, call Looks Cosmetic on01472 315877or 07800 978037, or visit www.lookscosmeticclinc.co.uk.052-055:Layout 1 16/5/14 13:59 Page 3LINCOLNSHIRETODAY55HAIR & BEAUTYAdd volume toyour hairDavines research laboratories have created a newhair treatment with replumping and elasticisingproperties. It is available at Austin Hair Design ofKirton in Lindsey, Gainsborough.The new Naturaltech Replumping treatment is inspired by the“filler” methodology with Hyaluronic Acid, treatments that arecapable of restoring elasticity. Hyaluronic Acid, recognised for itsability to retain water and fill areas lacking in hydration, is the keyingredient in the Naturaltech Replumping Hair Filler Superactiveproducts. It restores the amount of water that the hair needs for areplumped, compact and smoothing effect.The formulas are enriched with plum phytoceuticals, rich inpolyphenols and flavonoids, precious anti-oxidant substances thatcombat free radicals and have tonifying and elasticising properties.The fragrance, meanwhile, contains petit grain essential oil, whichis extracted from bitter lemon leaves that have compactingproperties.The range includes a replumping shampoo and conditioner. Thedelicate surfactants create a rich texture, and both are ideal for allhair types. Meanwhile, the replumping hair filler superactive isenriched with Hyaluronic Acid that ensures a strong hydration andprotection from stress, as it withholds water and gradually releasesin on the structure of the hair.The replumping solutions are part of Davines’ Naturatech range– a product and treatment system specifically designed andformulated to solve the most common problems of scalp and hair.It combines the very best carefully selected raw materials with themost advanced science and research.Visit Austin Hair Design in Kirton in Lindsey to find out moreabout what’s on offer.PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK.COM/MASSONmakeup. The beauty of mineral makeup is you can still use yourfavourite moisturiser but by applying mineral foundation you getthe added SPF broad spectrum UVA and UVB from 18-30 SPFdepending on brand. It’s a makeup that respects the skin.With pure milled minerals, there’s no oil to block the pores, notalc to make those fine lines feel like craters and no fragrance –just makeup that is lightweight, healing and breathable. Unlikeother makeup, you can crawl in at the light of dawn and sleep inyour makeup – no doubt of particular value if you’re planning aparticularly raucous summer holiday – and yes, you can exercise init too.As with much make-up, in terms of the quality of the product,you generally get what you pay for. There are some very goodbrands available on the High Street but you’d be well advised tobeware of brands packed full of other ingredients that aren’t good.Some can still contain up to 70% talc which makes the benefit ofthe mineral ingredients somewhat negligible.Most salons will offer the real deal and be happy to show youhow to apply it and colour match your foundation. Salons willnormally offer a mineral application after a cosmetic proceduresuch as permanent cosmetics, injectables or microdermabrasion.This way, even if you’ve just nipped out during your lunch break,you won’t go back to the office with angry looking waxed browsor a red shiny top lip!The arrival of the sun can send us all a bit loopy but it’s worthspending a couple of minutes before we dash out to make sure wewon’t regret it the next day.

Trust me, I’m speaking from a place of experience.PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK.COM/R. GINO SANTA MARIADo you worryabout trippingor falling? Pam Coulton of Burton Waters Clinic thinks youmay be suffering with a dropped foot. Foot drop is a condition caused by weakness or paralysis of themuscles involved in the operation of lifting the front part of the foot.This is a particular issue when we walk, as this can lead to excessivetripping or falling, or pain caused as a result of the sufferer deliberatelyaltering their gait pattern. One common cause is an interruption ofthe signals from the brain to the peroneal nerve – not unusual inpeople with MS, spinal injuries or those who have suffered a stroke.One way this can be managed is with a merging of orthotictechnology with electrical stimulation. This doesn’t simply brace thelimb to improve mobility, but instead, using Myo-orthotictechnology, restores the functionality of the impaired limb byrecreating a natural nerve and muscle response producing only aslight tingling. The WalkAide FES system is worn on the skin,removing the need for implant surgery.The orthotist could suggest a more rigid brace, such as a CarbonFibre Ankle Foot Orthosis. Carbon fibre is an incredibly light,durable and hypoallergenic material. A carbon fibre AFO canprovide a decrease in bulk and an increase in activity due to its‘spring’ effect offering smoother and more natural gait.Some sufferers may find a Silicone Ankle Foot Orthosis is moreappropriate. This is a total contact silicone orthosis whichincorporates the foot and ankle, and works by lifting the foot fromabove, as opposed to pushing from underneath as per traditionalrigid braces. The SAFO gives support without interfering withnormal biomechanics.If you think you might be living with foot drop, book your freeconsultation with a qualified and experienced orthotist.BURTON WATERS CLINICDo you suffer from...Foot Pain?Knee Pain?Back Pain?Orthotic intervention helps to reduce pain, slow the progression of a deformity or prevent injury.Orthoc treatment is not just for professional athletes or people with complex medical condionsBook your assessment with a qualified and experienced Orthost.6 & 7 The Landings | Burton Waters | Lincoln | LN1 2TUCALL 01522 520 362 /07946 598 133info@quaysorthotics.co.uk | www.quaysorthotics.co.uk056-059:Layout 1 19/5/14 08:36 Page 3Healthwatch Lincolnshire– together change happensHealthwatch Lincolnshire gives you the chance to speakabout your local health and social care services.

Manyhave tried over the counterproducts and are usuallyfrustrated at their lack ofsuccess!A verruca is a viral infection of theskin and, as such, has no single cure.Often repeated treatment has the desired effect, but on manyoccasions nothing works. The first question I always ask is “does ithurt?” Children need to be exposed to the virus in order todevelop resistance – treated before they develop resistance andthey may recur!So what if they hurt? Anecdotal evidence surrounding duct tapeand banana skin therapy is just that – there is no evidence tosuggest they work but if the verruca was about to spontaneouslyregress, it would seem it has. For painful verruca, seeing apodiatrist to have the hard skin painlessly removed will make thefoot feel better but don’t file the area as this can often spread thevirus onto the healthy skin.At the clinic, a variety of methods are used for stubborn verrucaefrom acids, liquid nitrogen and ‘one-off’ Falknors needlingtechnique conducted under local anaesthetic has a good successrate.
