  • 𝙂𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞 𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡’𝙊𝙢𝙗𝙧𝙖”

    La nebbia avvolgeva il cimitero, mentre Noah camminava tra le lapidi. Il silenzio era rotto solo dal fruscio delle foglie secche sotto i suoi piedi. Aveva l’impressione come di esere seguito.

    Ad un tratto, si fermò davanti a una tomba, con il cuore pesante come il piombo. La foto sul marmo lo fissava; era il volto di Oliver, suo fratello gemello, scomparso un anno prima.

    Noah chiuse gli occhi, assalito dai ricordi di quella notte maledetta. Erano stati al pub a Whitby, per festeggiare il loro trentesimo compleanno.Poi, sulla via del ritorno, qualcosa era andato storto.

    Avevano bevuto parecchio e ricordava solo frammenti: grida, una corsa disperata nel bosco, il terrore che gli gelava il sangue. Chi li inseguiva? E perché? Domande che lo tormentavano ogni notte, impedendogli di dormire.

    “Mi dispiace, Oliver,” mormorò, sfiorando la lapide fredda. “Avrei dovuto proteggerti.”

    Un fruscio improvviso lo fece voltare di scatto. Vide, una figura incappucciata che si avvicinava lentamente. Noah sentì il panico montare.

    Allora c’era veramente qualcuno! Ma chi? Era tornato? L’assassino era venuto a finire il lavoro?

    La figura si fermò a pochi passi da lui. Noah trattenne il respiro, paralizzato dalla paura. Lentamente, quasi al rallentatore, la figura alzò le mani e abbassò il cappuccio.

    Noah trattenne un urlo. Era Oliver che lo fissava, era pallido, gli occhi vuoti e privi di vita.

    “Ti ho aspettato, fratello,” sussurrò il fantasma di Oliver, con una voce bassa e molto calma “È ora di ricordare.”

    Un lampo di memoria attraversò la mente di Noah.

    Vide se stesso e Oliver che ubriachi litigavano furiosamente sul ciglio di un dirupo. Le parole gli tornarono alla mente: accuse di un tradimento alle sue spalle, una ragazza rubata, di una vita vissuta nell’ombra del fratello più brillante.

    Poi, in un attimo di rabbia cieca, vide le sue mani che spingevano Oliver. Il grido del fratello mentre precipitava. Poi il panico, e la fuga attraverso il bosco.

    “No…” mormorò Noah, cadendo in ginocchio, tremando violentemente. “Io… io non volevo. È stato un incidente.”

    Noah sorrise, con un sorriso gelido e privo di calore. “Lo so, fratello. Ma ora devi pagare.

    Mani fredde come il ghiaccio afferrarono Noah per le spalle. Cercò di urlare, ma la nebbia sembrò inghiottire ogni suono. Sentì il terreno cedere sotto di lui, come se stesse sprofondando in una voragine senza fondo.

    L’ultima cosa che vide fu il volto di Oliver, che lo fissava con occhi pieni di una terribile compassione.

    Il mattino seguente, il custode del cimitero notò qualcosa di strano passando davanti alla tomba di Oliver. Si avvicinò, per guardare, aggrottò le sopracciglia e si mise la mano davanti alla bocca per soffocare un urlo.

    Sulla lapide, accanto alla foto di Oliver, era apparsa una seconda foto identica. C’era anche Il volto di Noah, con gli occhi vuoti privi di vita.

    Ora, i due fratelli erano pari, uniti per l’eternità.

  • Take Care of your Hair in six steps.

    Everybody wants to look nice and hair is an important part of it. Nice hair makes feeling us confident about our physical aspects of everyday social interactions. Hair is made of a strong protein called Keratin present in the human body, blood vessel nourishes the hair bulb which delivers hormones and other substances. It means that if we take drugs or we adopt an unhealthy lifestyle it will affect the growth of the hair. “Healthy inside to be attractive outside”The growing of the hair varies in each individual and with ageing. When a new hair grows, pull the old hair out, that is why we have dry hair at the end. Hair colour is due to melanin, with ageing these cells that produce Melanin die and hair turn grey. Credit to Mattew Hoffman, MD

    1. Wash it

    54521599_833369830333349_75126794847518720_n-4
    I swear by them.

    But now let see how to take care of hair in six simple steps- ready? It might seem pretty stupid but washing hair is a simple gesture but it has rules to follow.

    • Choose good brand products depending on each circumstance for example
      your hair can be coloured and treated, oily or too dry.
    • Do not directly applicate the shampoo in your hair but dilute with water in your hand because shampoos are too aggressive.
    • Water should not be too hot because hot water damages your scalp and make your hair weakens with cool water
    • Do not wash too often, three washing per week is more than enough. Then the more you cleaning, the more it gets greasy.

    2. Dry it, yes, but with care

    54279419_643751782710121_7623672640955219968_n-3
    Adjust with a low temperature.

    Hot air like hot water damages and weakens hair, the right thing to do is to allow the hair to dry naturally, this is not always possible I agree especially in winter or in cold weather.

    • Towel dry your hair gently to absorb the excess water
    • Apply the diffuser to your device, this helps to diffuse heat equally and not only in one area
    • Use natural, eco-friendly brush and comb, they will improve oil production which stops dandruff and helps your hair to stay nice and smooth. Plastic brushes increase the electric static of hair.
    Brushing your hair stimulates the capillaries is like a head massage.


    3. Trim your hair regularly

    Pauline Taylor, senior hairstylist and owner at Hair Boutique, Saltburn by the Sea.

     

    • Go to see your trusted hairdresser regularly. To me, my hairdresser is like my Doctor. Your hairdresser will tell you of any scalp problem, and you can always seek for advice.
    • Trim the end every four/six weeks, your hair will grow faster and stronger. Also, your look appears tidier and healthier. Few millimetres make a massive difference in your hairstyle.
    • If you are not an expert, please avoid YouTube tutorials.
    • If you are on a budget, you can ask queries to your local college where they offer open  beauty services where students, supervised from a Senior hairstylist practice their profession. “One hand washes the other”

    4. Do not straighten your hair too often.

    54194658_412341586238084_9025320705310326784_n-1-2
    Thermal protector and straightening lotion must be used regularly before to straighten your hair

    The straightener damages your hair due to the high temperatures, in fact, it should not be used more than 180 degrees. Make sure that your hair is not dumped, it could cause a thermal shock. 
    Always use lotions and thermal protector before the use of the straightener these products helps to balance the static and protect from heat damages.

    5. Eat Healthily

    54428422_373225880179910_3512897645964165120_n-1
    Hair needs plenty of water to grow fast and strong.

    Eat healthily, nourish your body with vitamin and minerals, follow a healthy balanced diet. Your hair like your skin deserves to be treated if you want glowing skin and strong long hair.

    Drink plenty of water, because your hair needs to be hydrated and need a certain amount of water to grow.

    6. Exercise

    Exercise is always the key right?
    Exercising we put more oxygen in our blood, which moist the scalp. In addition sweat larger our hair follicles.The results? we are happier and our hair grow faster and stronger.
