Be Attractive : How To




Have graceful personality comprises of various different attributes. The first thing that is noticed by people is obviously the outward appearance. The choice of colors, the accessories and the cuts and trendiness of clothes; everything counts! It is easy yet difficult for a man to look attractive and graceful.
It is easy because men don’t have to go through all the hustles of threading, waxing and bleaching to retain their manliness and charisma. All that is required by them is a good sense of clothing, careful choice of colors, a witty attitude and an attractive wrist watch. On the other hand it is difficult for them because there are fewer choices for them as far as colors, cuts and accessories are concerned. The men who ‘overdo’ themselves never look attractive and it never suits a man to look obsessed about his looks.
But along with dressing style there are a lot more things that are counted while judging a man’s attractiveness. And the most important one is the ‘attitude’; the way he walks, the way he talks and the way he carries all that he has worn.
Following are a few points, if taken care of can guarantee ultimate attractiveness, charisma, magnetism and charm to a guy:
Be Open
Men have a dominant and leading role in the society; it never suits a man to look confused or not-so-sure about him. Open body language, comfortable walk, a cheerful smile and a maintained eye contact can do wonders for men. A man should be and has to be very self confident, and it should show!
Adjust your clothing according to the occasion
You should always know when to loosen up your tie and when to roll your sleeves up, when to wear a hot jeans and when to rock with your cargos. It is so un-cool to remain the same all the times. Your mood shifts, and your role shifts should be clearly visible through the way you have dressed up. All you need to do is ‘know your self more’; when you will know your self well, it’ll clearly show in your appearance too that you love your self and you are damn convinced about it!

Be very choosy about your accessories
A wrist watch is a must. It really adds value to a personality. But along with wrist watches, men have room only for really smart and classy accessories, unlike women who can wear as much accessories as they desire. Beside with cool wrist watches, elegant leather stuff, decent ties and trendy waist belts also help a lot in adding charisma to a man’s looks.
To carry yourself well you need to possess a body that is fit and that is capable of portraying you as the real leader. For this a man has to be sporty, diet conscious and happy within. Otherwise no matter how-much-ever money you spend on your clothing and accessories, you are never going to give the desired impression about your personality.

Top Ways To Boost Hair Volume With Menkoi

Are you craving big hair? Alot of girls and guys do if you are interested in having a explosive looking hairstyle. Here are a few tips for you and how to achieve the hair you want!


1. Blow dry upside down

Blow drying your hair upside down is the best way to volumes your hair. However, after straightening, it can flatten it out. So, the other trick is to use Menkoi Waxes. Grab a small amount of Menkoi Matte Wax, rub it into your fingers, rub it into your hair, and then blow dry your hair upside down. I promise you will see volume in your hair and will last pretty much all day!



2. Try a new volumizing product

There’s a big world of products out there devoted to big hair! A few reader faves:

Menkoi Powder Puff


Menkoi Voluming Waxes and Elixir


3. Sleep with damp hair

By far my favorite volumizing trick because it’s conducive to 1) lying down and 2) dream of a Hot F$@K.
Here is Menkoi's Tip.

Use Menkoi healing Elixir every night. It acts as a deep conditioner that you leave in your hair overnight. You will wake up refreshed with poofy hair!




“I tend to have the best luck when I sleep on damp hair fanned out behind me across the pillow. I look like Medusa when I wake up, but a little coaxing and I’m nice and bouffant!”
– Alison
“The best way for me to get volume in my hair is by sleeping in wet hair. Its slightly unruly, but VERY volumized. Then I wake up, hot roll it, and I have pretty good hair for the day.”
— Sarah
May your hair always be big, badass and full of volume to spare! :)

Asian Girls Hair Types

In all my days of doing hair/makeup, I’ve noticed that Asian women have these different types of hair.



Thick hair:
- thick, curly, wavy and impossible to get 100% straight
- thick, tons of hair, impossible to keep curled
Thin hair:
- super thin, no volume hair, impossible to stay curled
- no hair, super thin hair almost to the point of balding
- thin, dry and damaged hair

I think the majority of people have trouble with volume, getting it in the right places at least! I’ve heard of an interesting tactic of cutting a strand of hair to about 2-3 inches underneath the top part of your head, and then perming it so it will always give you volume! Maybe I’ll try that one day. ;)
However, here is a more temporary tactic you can use for random occasions.  You basically roll up a strand of hair and pin it down with a bobbypin. Then you put the rest of your hair over it and hairspray it so it stays put! 
You won’t have to worry about your hair losing volume because the “bump” will keep it up! This would be an alternative to teasing–which can be damaging to your hair if you do it too much. (Although I personally love to teaaase!).




To have silky hair like this requires wonderful products. 
We recommend using Menkoi Healing Elixir which will strengthen your hair and give it a natural healthy shine
