The Wob means ‘wavy bob’, which can beachieved by using various styling tools and can bemade to look tousled and sexy or smooth and chic. Itcan be any length, too, from chin length toshoulder length, one length or slightly layered.“For the tousled wob, shampoo, conditionand blow dry your hair as usual and apply agentle styling mousse. This will help to holdyour curls and create volume while stillallowing the hair to move naturally. Sectionyour hair beginning at the nape and start tocurl, the larger the sections the looser thewave, this can be done with straighteningirons or with a curling wand. Continue withall the sections until you finish at the front ofthe hair and ensure you curl away from theface around the hairline as this is moreflattering. When all your hair is curled gently,either run your fingers through the hair oruse a wide toothcomb, and gently spritz withflexible hold hairspray.”Many of the best ways to make the mostof your natural wave are really simple.

Itused to be that extensions were verymuch the preserve of younger women toallow them to keep experimenting withdifferent styles, but women are nowrealising they can be valuable at any age,not least because they can be really lowmaintenance while ensuring consistentlength and volume.As Johnny Yip of Zen Luxury Hair UKpoints out, “As women approach theirfifties, they tend to opt for a shorter style.Nowadays, however, many women arebreaking free from these trends, andopting for a look that oozes glamour,sophistication and youthfulness. Hairextensions are rapidly becoming popularamong the more mature due to theimmediate style boost that they canprovide.“Hair can thin up to 50% by the age offifty, so hair extensions are a great way toadd volume to finer hair. Extensions canbe added to shorter styles simply to addvolume, or to add extra length for aflattering shoulder length do. A fuller,volumised and healthy looking head ofhair can shed years off someone’s image,but it’s vital they choose high-qualityextensions for a look that appears naturaland subtle.“A layered style is popular amongwomen heading into their sixties, as it issofter, feminine and easier to maintain.We’d recommend that this generationconsider investing in hair extensions toadd volume and bulk to finer hair to keepit looking stylish and fuller.”The natural look is also big when itcomes to your make-up and your skin,with fresh and dewy looking skin thepriority in the warmer months.

It doesn’trequire any large changes to our lifestyle, it can be achieved inless than ten minutes, and we can wash away our sins with asingle brightly coloured smoothie. But is detox the way forward,or is it simply too good to be true?Dieticians and celebrities would certainly have us believe so,but these are the very people profiting from the detox crazetaking over not only Lincolnshire, but the entire country. Medicalprofessionals are a lot more critical. Edzard Ernst, a Professor ofcomplementary medicine at Exeter University says “The healthybody has kidneys, a liver, skin and even lungs that are detoxifyingas we speak. There is no known way – certainly not throughdetox treatments – to make something that works perfectly well,work better.” The Professor also goes on to label detox as a“criminal exploitation of the gullible man on the street.” Joy Dubost, R.D, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutritionand Dietetics agrees; “What do they mean by detox? Getting ridof toxins from food? From the environment? Your body naturallycleanses itself.” In many cases the perceived benefits of fruit smoothies andsimilar detox drinks is simply the contents of the drink itself. If aperson regularly has a smoothie every morning packed withvitamins and minerals, then they are going to benefit from it. Butmedical and professionals scientists all agree, detoxing to loseweight or cleanse your system, does more harm than good. For those looking to lose weight, healthy eating and regularexercise remains the only healthy option. Lincolnshire has someof the most beautiful scenery in the country, so perhaps it’s timeto get out there, on foot or on a bike, and experience it. Celebrities and stores across the entire country are extolling the benefits of detox to cleanseyour system and lose weight, but is it really that simple?DETOXfact or fictionPHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK.COM/ZSTOCKDETOXfact or fictionCelebrities and stores across the entire country are extolling the benefits of detox to cleanseyour system and lose weight, but is it really that simple?058_Layout 1 18/05/2015 11:12 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRETODAY59FATHER’S DAYThe gift that keeps on giving, of course, is a subscription to Lincolnshire Today!
