The Good And Bad Of Hair Extensions

Like everything else in the world today, hair extensions are accompanied by a wide array of good and bad. It’s ridiculous to go and spend hours at a salon and expect to go home as if you magically grew 12 inches of your own hair.

After having your new extensions done, there are a few things your going to have to do to help your stylist maintain your fresh new locks.

Make sure you’re prepared for the following BEFORE you take your trip to the salon:

? Be ready to spend a good chunk of your hard earned cash! Good quality hair extensions don’t come cheap. It’s better to spend the time and ask your stylist what type of extensions suit your needs then to waste your money on something you’re going to regret in the end. A good stylist will be well informed and appreciate your questions, so don’t hesitate to ask questions.

? Hair extensions can be damaging to the hair. This isn’t true in all cases though. There are many different methods for adding and removing extensions that will not damage your natural hair. There are no 100% guarantees on this however! Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Not all hair salons provide fully trained stylists. Make sure the salon you go to specializes in hair extensions; this will better your odds of leaving with the look you were hoping for.

? Headaches are possible for the first few days. Depending on the method and type of hair extensions you decide to have done, mild headaches can occur. The extra weight of hair extensions have been known to add pressure to the neck and cause mild headaches. If you opted for sewn in extensions, problems also arise when the hair is sewn in too tightly near the scalp. These aren’t major issues, but definitely something to consider.

? You will need to spend more time taking care of your hair. People with long hair have to spend a lot more time caring for it. One of the most important things after having your hair done is conditioning. If you normally don’t use conditioner in your hair, get into the habit of doing it now! Long hair requires extra moisturizing and conditioning, hair extensions are no different. Your new extensions are nothing more than an addition to your already existing hair. Proper treatment is critical to protect your own natural hair as well as your new investment.

These are just a few of the things that are important to think about before diving into the world of hair extensions. Yes, having long beautiful hair is every woman’s dream. Just remember that with every dream, reality is soon to follow!

Choosing the right stylist with the proper experience is critical to having this type of hair procedure done. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about any concerns that you might be having prior to actually having it done. A properly trained hair specialist will appreciate the concern and have the answers that you’re looking for.

Low Rise Jeans: The Muffin Top Wags the Finger

You like being stylish. Fashion to you is your confidence incarnate. You smell great and love being good draped in the latest apparel. The smiles from passerby’s—the respect and attention—provide a little air under your feet.

And for the most part, you’ve been able to maintain your unique sense of fashion—wearing just about anything that you wanted to wear—even though you are a little bigger than you’d like to be.

Then low-rise jeans showed up on the scene…

Truth be told, nothing turns men’s heads faster than a sexy woman wearing low-rise jeans. We’ve seen stars from Britney to Beyonce rocking low-rise jeans, and the fashion magazines are full of impossibly thin women lounging around showing off way more of their torso than jeans have ever allowed women do before.

But did you catch the key phrase there?

Impossibly thin.

If you’ve got so much as an ounce of fat around your waist and hips you’re going to be little miss muffin top, always pulling down your shirt to cover the bulges.

Sad to say, low-rise jeans simply are not a style everyone can pull off.  You’ve got to have a flat stomach, and no love handles. And it sucks because they can look good—really good—on the right body.

However, if you have a little around the middle to hold onto, there is still hope for you yet! Let’s take a look at what you can do to drop a few pounds and look your best in the hottest style.

1. Drink a lot of water.  

Drinking water—especially if you add a lemon—is a great detox method. It flushes out all the waste in your system—resulting in a leaner tummy area. It’s recommended to drink about 100 ounces of water a day for weight loss.

2. Take yoga.  

Yoga makes you lean and mean, and will give your silhouette a sleeker look. Also, yoga is just plain good for you—body and soul. Don’t worry if you’re a beginner. Chances are, your local yoga studio or gym will have classes that teach you the basics. And don’t worry about getting “Madonna arms” either—none of us has the kind of time necessary to devote to that much yoga.

3. Cut the alcohol.

They don’t call it a “beer belly” for nothing!  If you’ve been knocking back the brews with your friends, time to knock it off. At the very least, have a vodka or gin and tonic, and nurse it.

4. Cut down on carbs.  

Bread, pasta, chips, fries, and hash browns are on the no-no list if you want to get into those low-rise jeans.  

5. Get your heart beating.

What? It’s beating right now! (Hopefully!) This is more about getting it really pumping, with some nice cardio work. For the best results, try swimming—it is a great cardio workout, plus the water gives you resistance training.
