Jemma Gofton gets all of a flutter trying out the new craze of lash dipping.

My love, hate relationship with mascara started in my teens.

I love it because the defining nature of it heads off questions about ill health and sleepless nights. I hate it because my dressing table is spewing out bottles that promise to lengthen, thicken and knock 20 years off me. (I know I’m an advertisers dream!)

The pursuit of fluttering eyelashes has seen me try semi permanent lashes through to falsies through to lash perming and everything in between.

So, when I heard that Aura Health and Beauty in Hopwood were offering Lash Dipping I was elbowing people out of the way to be first in line.

This procedure is fresh from the USA and Aura is one of the first salons to offer it in the North West. Lash Dipping is semi-permanent mascara that’s applied to both sets of lashes.

The product used is called ‘Cry Baby’ and the draw is that it lasts up to 3 weeks.

The procedure saw me relaxing on a heated bed for 30 minutes as therapist Jenny coated my lashes.

The amount of product applied is down to personal taste, so of course the diva in me went for ‘lather it on’. The only slight discomfort is from the fumes which can make your eyes water. At the end my lashes looked as if I’d applied a few layers of normal mascara resulting in my eyes looked wider and framed.

for the first 24 hours after the treatment you’re advised not to get your lashes wet or hot and going forward you need to use oil free eye make up remover.

With Christmas around the corner you may prefer a more dramatic look and it’s fine to apply your own mascara just as long as you avoid the waterproof variety. The product will gradually wear off and that’s when you need to return to the salon for a fresh application. I am also assured that it won’t damage my lashes.

after the 24-hour wait, I went to the gym for a boxing lesson, I swam in a pool and I had a bath – the mascara didn’t budge.

my naturally short, stubby and sparse lashes now have definition and a slight curl. I haven’t had to apply mascara since the treatment and the kohl look leaves me feeling comfortable enough go make up free. 

 Aura Health and Beauty are offering Lash Dipping for £35 and a full lash make over consisting of lash dipping, lash tint and eyelash lift for £69. Aura Health & Beauty, 3-5 Withington Street, Hopwood,  OL10 2HQ 01706 629777.

Selma Blair has opened up about a common new mom symptom that not many people are talking about -– hair loss after pregnancy.

“It just started falling out at the three-month mark. I’m not a girl who likes extensions, so Selma’s going to be bald!” joked 39-year-old Blair, who gave birth to son Arthur Saint four months ago.

“This is so not glamorous, but it’s true: I need to take longer showers so that I can collect the hair that falls out and throw it away so I don’t clog the drain. Why do actresses never talk about that?” she said.

What causes hair loss after pregnancy?

Blair is not alone in experiencing postpartum hair loss. in fact, the American Pregnancy Association says that between 40 percent and 50 percent of women will experience hair loss after pregnancy.

Most women will find they start losing hair three to four months after baby is born, as Blair experienced. Why does this happen? our hair has a normal growing phase in which some of your hair is in a growing phase and another portion is in a resting or shedding phase. Every two to three months, the resting hair should fall out. however, pregnancy hormones can stop your hair from going through its normal shedding phase. This is why many women find their hair is thicker and has more volume during pregnancy.

After baby is born, your hormone levels return to normal and the hair falls out at its normal rate. the hair that should have shed during pregnancy may also fall out at this time, which results in hair thinning or bald spots.

The good news is that this hair loss is temporary and it most women find their hair returns to normal within six to twelve months.

What can you do?

As stated before, your hair should return to normal in six to twelve months, but talk to your doctor about your symptoms so he can rule out other issues. Continue to take your prenatal vitamin so your body has all the nutrients it needs for hair growth. Wash your hair with a volumizing shampoo that contains biotin and silica, and gently brush it when it is wet.

Avoid wearing hairstyles that will pull your hair, such as tight buns, ponytails or hair weaves and avoid using hair dryers or curlers on the high setting. Avoid washing your hair every day and instead use dry shampoo, which also works wonders in giving your hair added volume and fullness.

i just bought some online , looks good. have any of you guys tried it before? if so , was it good ?

I personally haven't but a friend is in LOVE with it. she literally swears by the stuff, so I'm pretty sure you made an excellent purchase. one thing she does complain about is that her eyelashes get so long that she has to trim them a little, although that sounds like a lovely complaint to have.

The morning after her first chemotherapy treatment, Courtney Briggs Thieman found tufts of long, platinum blond hair on her pillow.

“I went to the bathroom to comb it, and there were chunks of hair coming out on my brush,” she said. “I sat down on the bathroom floor and sobbed.”

Thieman was in college. Her whole life was ahead of her and, suddenly, she found herself contemplating her own mortality. As horrific as that was, when she saw that beautiful hair falling out — it was no longer just about life, death and cancer. “It was all about the hair,” she said.

Thieman was only 19 years old when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. But she was no stranger to adversity. She’d already had her share of trials.

Grand mal seizures at night

Thieman had been in a car accident when she was 16, and the car had flipped four times. The accident left her with seizures in her sleep and memory loss. When she was 19 and enrolled at Mercyhurst College in North East, she had to take epilepsy medication and lost her driver’s license because of seizures. “It was rough not having my license. my mom had to drive me back and forth,” she said.

She spent months getting used to the harsh epilepsy medication. Then, one day she felt a terrible pain in her stomach. “It felt like an explosion,” she said. “It was the worst pain I ever felt.”

Thieman went to the emergency room where she was told she had a stomach ulcer and sent home. she was still in pain the next day and went to her family doctor.

“He knew something was very wrong right away,” she said. After several referrals, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, but the diagnosis changed several times.

“First they told me I had cancer. Then they told me I didn’t have cancer,” she said. “I called all of my friends and family with the devastating news, and then I called them back with the good news.”

Thieman did have cancer. she underwent three months of chemotherapy, spending three hours a day at the Regional Cancer Center for five straight days one week out of the month.

“All of the people receiving treatments sat in an open space, sort of like a circle,” she said. “I was by far the youngest person there, and I could see their sad eyes when they looked at me. I couldn’t take it. Finally they gave me my own room.”

Thieman said her husband, her boyfriend at the time, was working two jobs and going to school but went to every treatment he could. “He was wonderful,” she said. “Like any girl would be, I was scared my boyfriend was going to leave me. But he didn’t. he stood by me and supported me through it all.”

Thieman said the treatments were tough on her, and she couldn’t have gotten through them without her boyfriend, her faith and especially her mother.

A mother’s love and a miracle

Connie Briggs never left her daughter’s side.

“My mother went to every single treatment,” Thieman said. “Some would be at 3 a.m., so that I could sleep through them. my mother was there for everything.”

Thieman said she never realized what her mother was going through until she was a mother herself.

“I didn’t think I could have kids,” she said, but four months after her chemotherapy ended, Thieman found out she was pregnant. “I was the only person I knew who had an album of sonograms.”

Despite her happiness, Thieman was extremely ill during the pregnancy.

“My mother was so mad at me,” she said. “My immune system was low from the chemotherapy, and everyone was worried.”

Thieman said she even had to drop out of college with only two classes remaining. But, miraculously, on Sept. 21, 2005, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Devin. it wasn’t until then that she really understood the anguish that parents of cancer patients must suffer.

Thieman went into remission and is still in remission today at age 26. Her epilepsy is controlled through medication, she is able to drive again, and she completed those two classes at Mercyhurst to earn an associate degree in criminal justice.

She said she was touched by the death of her husband’s uncle from lung cancer on Sept. 27, 2010, and decided she wanted to do something for him, herself and all cancer patients.

“I woke up one morning with a crazy idea in my head and ran with it,” she said.

Thieman wanted to raise money for the Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation. she knew she would have to do something grand to catch people’s attention. For that first event on Jan. 22, 2011, she decided she would shave her head. After all, losing her hair had been one of the hardest parts of her cancer. Shaving her head would be the ultimate sacrifice she could make for cancer patients.

She notified more than 800 people on Facebook of the event. “Once I did that, I knew there was no turning back. People began e-mailing me right away,” she said.

She had planned to have the event at the Quaker Steak and Lube where she worked. But so many people responded that the restaurant wasn’t big enough. Thieman approached her employer, Nick Scott, and he kindly donated the Crystal Ballroom at the Ambassador Center and she named her hair-shaving event Courtney’s Cure for Cancer.

Her friend Sarah Torney, from California, designed a flyer that asked for donations, and Thieman posted it everywhere.

More than 500 people attended the event. Thieman said a man she didn’t even know came in and had his head shaved merely because her story had inspired him. “I felt like I had touched a complete stranger,” she said.

Then at about 7 p.m., hundreds of people encircled her with love as she sat in a small chair in the big Crystal Ballroom of the Ambassador Center.

“It was an amazing feeling to be surrounded by all of these people who support what you are doing,” she said. “We had held a 50/50 raffle for the first shave on my head. A lot of people who bought tickets put my dad’s name on it. he won. my dad made the first shave.”

What once was the worst experience in her life, losing her hair, suddenly became one of the most touching moments of her life and in the lives of many others. seven other people had their heads shaved that night and the event raised $18,000 — far more than the targeted $5,000 for the Kanzius Research Foundation.

There are tough people in this world, and then there are warriors like Courtney Thieman. they muscle through hair loss, conquer cancer, cheat death and then really live.
