Tired of Your Curly Hair? There is a Solution!

March 31st, 2010 hair extensions pro No comments

Curly hair comes in variety of textures and can often feel overwhelming. Many people with curly hair envy those with straight hair, and feel their curls could never be straight for more than an hour.
With many of the hair straighteners in toady’s market, there are ways to make those curls straight. But with all of the varieties of hair straighteners choosing the right one depends on what you are looking for your straightener to do for your hair.
Learning the steps of full hair straightening can help make a better decision in choosing the right one.
How to Straighten Curly Hair
Straightening curly hair can be done in four easy steps.
1. Wash and condition hair thoroughly. Continue by blow drying your hair. During the blow drying stage, try and take as many of the waves out as possible. This can be done by taking a vented hair brush and the drier and blowing through your locks simultaneously. The hair should be completely dry. Any dampness could cause frizzing.
2. Unless you are dealing with short hair, your hair should be divided into at least four different sections, so your hair does not get in the way of each other. Before you start to section your hair, turn on the straightener. It should be ready and hot for optimal performance.
3. Use a light spray for your hair that protects it from heat styling damage. Make sure to use the product enough, but not too much where it makes the hair heavy or greasy looking. This is an important step, especially if hair straightening becomes routine.
4. Begin straightening hair from the bottom sections and working your way up. When working within the sections, the strands of hair should not be too thick, nor should the width be longer than the straightener. When working with the strands start at the base and slowly run the straightener down the strand of hair at a slow even pace. Once the strand has been completed, do not immediately touch the hair as it will be hoot to handle for a few seconds.
Now it is clear in the process of how to straighten hair, it is time to choose a straightener.
The main points of choosing a straightener are material and hair type.
Materials – Ceramic, Ionic, Tourmaline and Infrared
Ceramic and Tourmaline are the coatings used on the straighteners hot plates. It is important to note both produce negative ions which enables the hair to smooth and relax.
Ionic straighteners go a step further than ceramic and tourmaline coated straighteners. Hair is positively charged, while the ionic straighteners are negatively charged. The ionic straightener cancels the positive charge in hair not only smoothing and relaxing hair, but also repairing hair.
Infrared straighteners do not hold any special advantage over other materials. The claims are all hype.
Hair Type and Length
The recommended plate size is dependent on hair length. Most people with curly hair have course and thick hair, the length helps determine the plate size.
Long – 1.5″ – 3″
Medium – 1.5″ – 2″
Short – 1.25″
If you are tired of curly hair the right straightener and proper direction can make your curly locks beautiful, straight and long lasting.

Pubic Fashion and Keeping a Neat Garden

March 21st, 2010 hair extensions pro No comments

During the 70’s big hairy bushes were all the rage. Check out the old porn films and you will see while muffs full of hair.

For the time being, in our less is more society, neat and shaved pussies are in. This is due to a number of reasons -

? It is considered more hygienic to have a trimmed or shaved pussy. Regardless of how clean someone is, if they have a hairy pussy they inevitably splash it with wee when they go to the loo.

? It is generally thought to be nicer to go down on a girl with a neat lady garden. There is none of that nose tickling or embarrassing pubic hairs caught between teeth scenario.

? It actually heightens sensitivity of the outer labia lips. Just try it and you’ll see what I mean.

? You can wear and show off sexy clit piercing or on piercing bling.

However, that’s not to say that there aren’t men who love hairy pussies, there are whole websites dedicated to them.

To keep your pussy trim is no easy task. If you shave you need to shave on a daily basis otherwise you will get a stubbly pussy. Additionally re-growth itches terribly, and it won’t look very sexy if you keep scratching down there. Of course shaving every day does rob the skin of moisture, so make sure you moisturise.

You can use hair removal cream. You do need to be careful when using this cream near your intimate areas because the cream is formulated to chemically burn your pubic hair – Don’t burn your clit off!

The third method is waxing. It sounds very painful, and the first time it’s done it does sting. But when your pussy is waxed on a regular basis there is less hair growth and so it is less painful. Make sure you go to a professional waxing salon to get your pussy waxed, they are waxing customers on a daily basis and they will get it done quickly and effectively. The other benefit of waxing is that the re-growth is much softer, and a lot less itchy.

Of course its not just girls that benefit from a tidy bush. Men should also consider having a trim. A neatly trimmed bush above the penis and shaved balls has the following benefits -

? It makes your cock look bigger because your cock will suddenly tower over your pubic mound making it appear more magnificent than it already is.

? It’s much nicer to go down on a guy with a neat bush. Your nose doesn’t get tickled buy pubic hair and your balls get licked and sucked more when they are hairless – Don’t take my word for it, try it and ask her to lick ‘em!

? Your balls will have a lot more sensitivity, so you’ll be asking her to lick and touch them more.

? It’s more hygienic. Balls sweat and the pubic hair soaks up the sweat and retains the smell, making oral action less likely during spontaneous romps.

Did I mention it would make your cock look bigger? Did you really need three other reasons?

For a bit of sexy fun you could shape your pubic bush into a cheeky little shape. It’s easy to create decorative shapes and it won’t cost you a penny. Click here to find out how http://www.sextoytesters.co.uk/home-made-sex-toys.shtml

Teen Fashion Trends: With Mud Flaps At The Back

March 17th, 2010 hair extensions pro No comments

Last week, sitting at an old family friend’s cafe chatting about this and that, my friend (just over 50) noticed a teen walking past on their way out.”How can boys like that?”"Like what?” I asked”That long hair with mud flaps at the back?!” he exclaimed I couldn’t stop laughing. Although a funny comparison, unfortunately it was true. The young man was wearing jeans almost at his ankles, long hair, and something that resembled a t-shirt under a grungy, what looked like, a leather jacket. So for those who are at cross roads about today’s fashion and present-ability of our youth people, today, just for you, I have two things to share:1. AN INSIGHT It seems like the ‘long hair on guys’ is putting everyone off because it’s ‘girly’. But I am not sure if people have forgotten than when the ‘forbidden rock and roll’ started taking the youth of the world by storm way back when, the most popular band were loved and hated for their velvet jackets and long hair. Decades later, the Beatles are forever in the history of music. Just a reminder that to those who say times are different these days… 2. TOP TIPS Fashion will come and go, and almost everyone is prone to it. For those who don’t believe me, ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ has an excellent scene where unfashionable Andy makes fun of a belt dilemma at a fashion magazine, and in return gets told the unabridged version of the history of blue garments that stand behind the $2 blue sweater she wore to work that day. Excellent movie. But anyway… Although you can’t force a teen to wear the clothes you want, you can still give them supportive advice and compromise.A) Be supportive of their fashion choices – if it’s blatantly ridiculous, you can sleep peacefully at night knowing one day when they grow up, they will admit you were right about their ridiculous fashion choices. I still cringe when I think about the VERY WIDE 70’s style Levi’s I had that my parents hated when I was 14 – we all thought we were the ’schizz’ when we wore those jeans…except now I know we weren’t…B) If their clothing is blatantly nonfunctional (e.g. jeans around ankles), or unhygienic (e.g. long jeans that track mud around the house like a dirty bike) take them early birthday/Christmas/New Years shopping ASAPC) Next time you go to the hairdressers, get them to come with you, or get them to have a look at some magazines with hairstyles in there – you may find out that they actually hate their hair the way it is now.D) If you attend art gallery opening, shows, etc, ask if the teen wants to come with you – a reason for them to dress up and take pride in their outer-skin, as well as get to know and see people with different fashion styles.E) Remember your days…laugh about them, share them! My brother used to have long crazy whacky hair, until we went back home to Russia and he saw pictures of my Dad with long whacky hair in his youth (it looked just as ridiculous as my brothers – I swear!). The next day without any of our knowledge, my brother turned up home with a much shorter haircut.

The Fashion of Nicole Kidman

March 16th, 2010 hair extensions pro No comments

Nicole Kidman is a lot famous for her starring roles in Moulin Rouge, The Stepford Wives, Cold Mountain, and Bewitched.

Since her famous and celebrated divorce with Tom Cruise, we see Nicole donning va-va-voom glamorous outfits. She can pull off out-of-this-world designer gowns but still manages to have a completely classic and elegant ?Nicole? vibe. Nicole is not afraid to take fashion risks, for example, her beautiful blue gown with feathers that she wore during the 2005 Golden Globes.

During her casual days, she is still sophisticatedly dressed wearing preppy or bohemian themed outfits. She loves wearing skinny jeans with sharp blazers and heels that are seen in bold prints that are thrown with mixes of argyle, stripes and flowers. She usually wears minimal accessories, but she never fails to find the perfect shoes and bag to complement her outfit.

She is well known to have beautiful red ringlets in her hair, whether worn up or down. For her makeup, she favors feminine sheer makeup that is so light that you can see her freckly and creamy complexion shine through.

If you want Nicole’s look, go for tailored slim fit jeans and a snug blazer, and then you can choose a feminine camisole paired with stilettos and celebrity shades, or go for ballet flats and a skinny button down. Shop at GAP, Ralph Lauren and Anthropology.

Her notable quote about fashion is “I collect antique clothes. My mother dressed me in antique clothes from the flea market” , Nicole Kidman in USA Today.

Following The Girls Fashion Trends

March 15th, 2010 hair extensions pro No comments

Girls in their teens and in college are inundated with fashion from their friends and acquaintances. One can say they are immersed in fashion and have to be very fashion conscious to not appear out of touch and to decide what to wear every day.
Here is some advice to help those girls keep up to date with the latest fashion trends.
There are different styles that come out every year. Most designers release at least two collections per year, during fall and spring, while others release four collections – one for every new season. It is really tough being sharp on all those new things considering the different styles that are introduced with all those new collections. Besides, not all styles fit all people.
Even though you would love to wear a particular outfit that looked really good on the model on the runway, it might look pretty odd and out of place when you wear it. The first key to narrowing down your focus is to zoom in on those collections and styles that fit your particular height, weight, and personality type.
If you want to be on the safe side, select one of the classic styles. They rarely go out of fashion. However, girls don’t always like wearing classic clothes so, how can they always be in fashion? A simple way to make girls fashion work for you is to choose from a collection that suits you best. For example, if a particular color suits your skin tone best, you can wear a top of that color with jeans or black pants, which don’t have to be from the same collection.
Accessorizing is another clever way of keeping up with the latest girls fashion without even having to wear clothes from the latest trends. Work with your body’s strong and weak point, and select accessories that will enhance your best features. Nobody is perfect. You need to hide your flaws and enhance your godd features, just like those seemingly perfect models that grace the catwalks of the fashion world.
A belt, scarf, hair clips or shoes can make all the difference in looking like an out of touch cave dweller and a hip fashion-conscious urban girl.
Make sure that you know what works for you and then find the fashion news sources that cover new collections and styles that suit you specifically. That way you can always be up to date with the latest girl fashion without suffering from information overload.

Bright And Happy 1980s Fashion

March 15th, 2010 hair extensions pro No comments

When you think back to the 1980s they are many things that come to mind. There is something that is highlighted in our minds when we think back on the 1980s, and that is the 80s fashion.
It is very easy to recognize the fashion of the 1980s. This cannot be necessarily said of the fashion from the previous decades, because they share common elements that make them hard to distinguish from each other. It is safe to say that the 1980s fashion is in a completely distinct class of its own.
Even though one can still find boys that are wearing tube socks today, during the 1980s tube socks were the in thing to wear for girls and they wore it with almost any kind of outfit. However, just plain old tube socks were not enough during the 1980s. They had to be a ruffled to make the girls look really in step with fashion.
Movies played a huge part in influencing the 1980s fashion. Do you remember the movie Flashdance? That movie defined the new 1980s fashion look for young girls. Suddenly everyone had to wear large sweaters that exposed one shoulder with the gym bra strap exposed over the shoulder.
The girls also wore their hair in ponytails that sat on one side of the head.
Stonewashed jeans were the very big fashion item in the nineteen eighties. They had to be so skintight that you always wondered how people got into them in the first place. These jeans that were worn by men were accompanied by very colorful and decorative shirts or T-shirts.
Leg warmers were also very popular during the nineteen eighties. Once again, very well-known celebrities influenced the fashion choices of teenage girls through a music video that they made. Girls were wearing leg warmers with shorts, skirts, and many other types of pants.
As far as jewelry goes, one of the very popular items was the bracelet. And of course these could not be just any bracelets; they had to be flashy bangle bracelets. The more of these flashy bangles a girl could fit on her arm, the more hip she was.
The 1980s were truly a very colorful time. Remember the popular male fashion accessory, those very brightly colored shoelaces? Do you think anybody would dare wear them today without looking like a complete fool?
Hats decorated with flowers or other types of prints were also very popular during that time. That is one of the 1980s fashion trends that continued into the 90s.
Probably the one distinctive concept that would define 1980s fashion would be uniqueness.

Hip Accessory Doing the Rounds of the Fashion Circuit

Whether it is Bipasha Basu, who ties an expensive one to her bag or Kim Cattrall who is wearing it around her head, scarves and stoles are the latest thing to jazz up your outfit with. And these are probably the easiest thing to buy, with famous retail outlets to streetside vendors selling it. Here are some tips on how to incorporate them into your outfit.

So the next time you’re wearing a traditional salwar-kameez, be innovative. Buy a stole in a matching colour and perhaps you can tie it around your hair with the ends loose. This will give you a younger appearance. But be careful — garishly coloured stoles or scarves in your hair can look tacky.

You can wrap it around the end of your handbag’s shoulder strap to give it a look which matches your outfit. Many women prefer stoles and scarves to dupattas and chunnis because they are easier to handle and give the outfit a slightly western look. So if you want, you can buy one to sling around your neck instead of your regular dupatta. Colourful stoles and scarves are the best to break up an ethnic outfit in a single colour. On a summery day, a white churidar or salwar can look stylish by wearing a colourful scarf around your neck.

If you are one of the many who went out and bought yourself a salwar-kameez with a collar, wear a scarf under the collar to give it a sleek look. But with sarees and heavily embroidered ethnic outfits, stay away from these.

If you think your office wear is too starched and formal, here’s your saviour. The next time you feel your pants and blouse corporate wear is looking bland, rope in a stole or scarf. There are many ways this can brighten up your outfit. Ditch your conventional belt for the day.

Wear a matching or contrasting colour stole through your belt loops, but don’t knot it on the edge or have the ends loose because this can instantly transform office wear into casual wear and we still want to retain the gravity of the outfit. Wind the stole or scarf around your waist and tuck the ends into the edges and pin it up discreetly so that it looks like a neat wrap. You can also use scarves around your neck to give your otherwise neutral outfit a feminine touch. A scarf in a matching or contrasting colour can be wrapped loosely around the neck and tied into a small knot on the side. If you’ve chosen a longish stole or scarf, it can be simply slung around the neck.

Now for all those party people — this one’s for you! A scarf or stole can make your outfit look chic even in a club where the mantra of less-is-best works. Team up your outfit with matching or contrasting stole which can be worn in many simple ways but can oodles of oomph. A head wrap may be an acquired taste but guarantees to turn heads. Wrap a scarf around your head but make sure it doesn’t overwhelm your forehead — start from a little ahead of your hairline. Complete the look with dangling earrings to give yourself the ultimate Bohemian look. You can also create a retro look with the following. Tie the stole or scarf like a sash over your hair, and tie it behind one of your ears. The knot should not take up both the ends but you should allow one of the ends to be much longer than the other.

For casuals, just drape a nice stole or scarf around your waist, whether you’re wearing pants, jeans or a skirt — this universal accessory goes with anything. You could also try a variation of the head sash by not letting any ends trail. Put on your big shades and have a good time relaxing. So with stoles and scarves, it’s easy to be creative. If you find one big enough to wrap around yourself, pair it up with a simple tee or tank. Remember, anything goes if you’re confident. So go ahead and make your mark.

Fashion – Catalyst For Social Change

Midway through the last century, fashion and style began to take on a much more complex connection to the social issues of the day. When the Beatles exploded on the scene in the early 60’s, style became much more tightly connected to point of view and political persuasion than at any time in the past. As time has gone on, the fashion world has been increasingly vocal about many of the social problems of the day.
One of the first points of contact between fashion and social issues was the Vietnam War and the developing opposition to that conflict. Invariably, those strongly opposed to the war wore their hair long and favored tie-dyed “hippie” clothes while those who supported the conflict wore their hair short and chose clothes that were much more conservative in nature.
When the opposition succeeded in hastening an end to the Vietnam conflict, it seemed only natural that these activists (as they were now called) would turn their attention to other pressing social issues and style and fashion offered several flashpoints which could be exploited.
Animal rights activists came down hard on the fashion industry for supporting the cruel capture and killing of animals in order to support many of the popular styles of the day including furs, minks and other clothing. This led to a number of consumer boycotts and those wearing the clothing were often confronted on the street.
It was about this time that Hollywood began to inject itself much more strongly into social issues and thus began a long line of actors and actresses who would take strong stands on these issues and again, the fashion world was the perfect target.
When the United States began to lose its’ once predominant position in the textile industry, most of the industry shifted to lesser developed parts of the world where working conditions often approached “sweatshop” status. With Hollywood taking the lead, consumers boycotted many of the companies that used these ill-treated workers to make the garments and, in many cases, succeeded in changing company policy. This type of boycott was especially successful in getting companies to stop doing business with areas of the world that employed child labor under unusually harsh conditions.
In today’s world, fashion is becoming more closely aligned with the Green movement and it is becoming fashionable these days to be “eco-chic” and this trend appears to be gaining momentum. As consumers become more educated about the complexities of the garment business, they will want to know about all the details that are involved in getting clothing to the marketplace and will expect to get the same level of transparency from clothing companies that they now expect from the food industry.
Fashion and style, in the past, were all about creating an image but now that image can also include the personal value set of the wearer and it looks as if this connection between fashion and social issues is here to stay.
