Not all heads are created equal!
The most obvious reason is to have hair extensions is instant long thick beautiful hair and yes this can be accomplished on most heads, but you can use hair extensions in a variety of ways.

Fixing bad hair cuts!
you know a bad hair cut when one side is longer that the other and the other side has been thinned out to much, resulting in a disasters affair of the lid. It usually happens right before a big event like a wedding, an anniversary or the worst, a 10 year high school reunion. What better way to grow the mistake out and get it fixed right away than with hair extensions? No more having to try to blow-dry it a certain way or wearing it up with a bunch of bobby pins until it grows out over the next 4 months.

Do it for the fullness!
You like your length but you lack in the volume fullness department, I have clients that love the length of their hair but wanted the fullness like the shampoo commercial models, that sexy full hair that seems to bounce ever so slightly across their backs and shoulders as they do their signature hair model move, they turn their heads to look at something and their hair follows in a shiny bouncy swoosh across the television screen. Or better than that they want a really great ponytail instead of the skinny ponytail they can only achieve with their own hair, really great ponytails happen with great hair and great certified extensions artists.

Do it for color!
Sometimes it would be extremely damaging to get certain hair colors. A client of mine wanted white highlights just a few peaking out from underneath her side layers, I thought it would be a very neat look, unfortunately she had black hair, by the time I was done bleaching it beyond recognition and trying to tone it, or even doing a color remover on it (with no guarantee of results) if she had any hair left I doubt I would have been able to get it white, so we did white extensions, just a few and when she wants them out it won?t be damaged, unlike trying to chemically get the result. It would have cost her more money to try to get what she wanted chemically than what it cost her to get a few extensions in and without the damage! I have also done combinations of natural looking blondes and caramels the client gets the color they want and more hair in the process.

Do it for a bit of length but not a full head.
Some people just want a bit of length and there hair simply does not grow past a certain point, in this case we did fusion extensions from the nape of the neck up to about the ears and a few on the sides above the ears, then all we did was a few packs of foils in around the top of the head, the results: Partial extensions blending in with the few foils that she usually gets anyway, her hair was to the bottom of her neck, we lengthened it to about he cleavage, it looked sexy and she could pin it up for meetings. It looked professional and polished.

Get clip in extensions measured especially for your head!
Not every one is suited for fusion hair extensions, some people hare happy with their hair but just need a non commitment change once in a while. Clip in extensions are perfect for that person. You can have instant highlights! You pop in about 5-10 of them and have an instant change, I love this for myself, I do light butter blond and caramel clip ins with my dark auburn hair, It works for me and my schedule, can you believe that I have no time to get my self some highlights! The shoe makers children have no shoes kind of situation, but with my clip ins that are measured and made just for my head, when I want a bold set of highlights I pop them in and the fact that they are 100% human hair I can curl them, straighten them, ware them up in a ponytail or up in an up do, The clip ins are also great if you want longer fuller hair, they are made based on your needs.

Things to remember when looking for quality hair extensions and an artist:
Make sure that the artist is certified by a reputable company, education can be the key to a gorgeous head of hair or a disaster, your stylist should be proud to show you his or her certification. Pay for quality, if you are going to invest do your research, if you pay for cheap you will get cheap and your real hair will be ruined. What you want in hair: You want 100% human, Indian temple remy cuticle hair. What this means: Indian hair is the closest and best suited to Caucasian hair. Remy cuticle means that the cuticle layer of the hair is in tact and all going in the same direction as it would in your hair naturally, the cuticle layer provides protection and shine in your hair. Indian temple hair is prized for its shine luxurious feel and tangle free manageability. I have also used Indonesian hair is is just a beautiful but better for clients with that pin staight hard to curl hair. What you want in a bond: Just say no to glue! You want a synthetic keratin tip that is resistant to chemicals and oils. It begins as a solid state and when heated at a low temperature with a special heating tool, it softens so that the stylist can reshape it and fuse it to your hair, then it turns back to a solid when it cools. It is not a liquid at any time like glue is. The bond material is flexible when heated but not hot enough to burn the stylist fingertips, so there is no damage to your hair by way of heating or extensions installation. It is removed quite easily with a special remover. Glued bonds require a damaging acetone to remove their bonds.

PART 1

Very much a highlighted news topic, the stem cell research controversy continues. Reasons for the ?need? of research include possible help for persons with terminal cancer, Alzheimer?s disease, Parkinson?s disease, spinal cord injury?and hair loss.

Hair loss is an important subject for the many men and women who experience it. The careless remarks and gratuitous jokes about baldness made by people with full heads of hair only add to their humiliation. Some people even experience anger that their hairline threatens to become as receded as the waters of the Red Sea for the Hebrews so many years ago.

Countless people wonder whether or not there really exists a cure for hair loss. Before we answer that question, we should first answer the questions, ?What is hair loss?? and ?What causes it??

What is Hair Loss?

The term ?Alopecia,? more commonly known as ?baldness,? includes various disorders that involve the lack of hair where it would normally grow especially when it involves the head. The most common form of baldness is a progressive hair-thinning condition that occurs in some adults.

Each piece of hair has a follicle located at the end of the hair shaft. Follicles act as the hair?s incubator? it is where the hair is produced. Each strand of hair has a matrix, located at the base of the follicle. Cells in this area produce keratin, a tough protein that makes up the hair shaft, and melanin. Melanin stains the keratin, giving hair its color.

The activity of each follicle is dependant on surrounding follicles. Healthy hair follicles continuously grow. About 85% of the hair follicles on a healthy scalp are actively growing at the same time, and hair loss is not a problem.

Each strand of hair continues to grow for about 4 years, before going into a dormant period of about 4 months. On an average, only about 15% of the total amount of hair follicles on a healthy scalp is dormant at any one time. It is when a higher percentage of hair follicles stop growing at one time that hair loss becomes a problem.

What Happens During Hair Loss

Follicles are nourished by a network of capillaries, bringing nutrients to the base of the follicle. The amount of blood available to the scalp and to the follicles is determined by the health of the capillaries in the scalp, as well as the arteries in the neck and temple.

Problems develop when hair follicles do not receive proper nourishment. For instance, some women experience noticeable hair thinning after menopause, after the production of estrogen slows down or stops. Hair loss in women is usually more diffuse then in men. Women seldom have bold spots a large area of the head may show sparse hair growth instead. Only about 15% of women are afflicted by such a high degree of hair loss that it becomes obvious.

In men the hormone DHT can harm hair follicles, making them shrink, or cause them to prematurely enter into the resting stage of the hair cycle. When this happens the result is often the characteristic U-shaped pattern of hair loss at the top of the head.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Predisposition can be one factor as to why one person begins losing their hair as they age, while another person does not. Various other disorders, such as obesity, allergies, and diabetes can also be attributed to predisposition. Sometimes hair loss can be the result of side effects caused by certain prescription drugs. Of course, these factors can often be countered.

Where you may not be able to reverse predisposition, you can sometimes contain it. By changing lifestyle, maintaining a customized healthcare regimen, and eating a well-balanced diet, many such factors can be alleviated or turned around.

More about Hair Loss

When it comes counteracting or slowing down the process of hair loss, products such as Rogaine, Dutasteride, and Propecia can help. Scalp exercises and massages using special preparations can also help.

Telogen Effluvium (TE) is a type of hair loss more common in women then men. It is characterized by high numbers of hairs that enter into the resting stage of the hair cycle, all at one time. This usually causes profuse shedding, as opposed to bald patches. This can be an overwhelming experience for women, especially those who once had luxuriant hair.

TE can be brought on by prolonged emotional or physical stress, severe illness, post-pregnancy hormone changes, or crash dieting. Once the triggering factor has been removed, TE hair loss usually stops. Hair can grow back in even without treatment, usually in 6 months to a year.

With proper treatment, hair growth can be accelerated. Some professionals recommend bringing the level of iron stored in the body up to 70 or 80 ng/ml (nanograms per milliliter). The range of iron normally stored in a woman?s body might be between 12 ? 50 the lower end not high enough to speed hair growth.

Rogaine can also be used for a few months to start the TE recovery process once hair does begin to grow back in, Rogaine use can stop.

As mentioned earlier, crash dieting can trigger TE in both men and women. As a matter of fact, diets of less than 1,200 calories a day can trigger sudden hair loss. This is especially true of diets low in protein. When the body lacks proper protein it ?borrows? by shifting healthy hairs into dormancy to conserve protein.

Although hair loss resulting from inadequate diets is most often temporary, it can result in permanent loss of hair in persons genetically predetermined towards hair loss. Also, extreme weight loss in men can increase the production of androgens ? male sex hormones that kill hair follicles. Once hair follicles are destroyed, there can be no re-growth of hair.

Generally, there are three ways of hair removal. My favorite one is laser hair removal. The other two methods shaving and waxing might be cheaper and more popular but they both have some negative sides while the laser hair removal doesn't have any. To begin with, when shaving you leave behind stubble. If your hairs are thick that stubble might be like a dark shadow if your hairs are thin, then the stubble might be only slightly noticeable. But whatever you do, if you shave your hairs, they grow back immediately.

There is a myth about shaving saying that it cause hair to grow back thicker and faster. This is wrong. However, it is true that hair starts growing back as soon as you shave it. The other alternative to shaving is waxing. The latter removes hair for a longer period of time leaving behind little or no stubble. However, waxing takes much longer and it is more expensive, provided you get it done by a professional. Even when you buy one of those do-it-yourself kits it will cost you more than a razor and some shaving cream. Though, the greatest disadvantage of waxing over shaving is that the first is quite unpleasant and might sometimes be even painful.

My personal favourite method of getting rid of unsightly hair- laser hair removal is much less painful and it has a long-standing effect. It removes your unwanted hairs for a few years - from five to ten, sometimes even longer. If there is a disadvantage about this method, it is that it's quite expensive, so it cannot be applied to large areas of the body unless you have a fortune. Apart from being a wonderful way of getting rid of unwanted hair, laser hair removal is a fun thing to do on a first date. I've always liked to do unusual and interesting things on a first date and one day I came up with the idea of getting unsightly hairs burned off by small lasers in the company of my date.

I think this is a great way to get to know each other. I had such a first-date experience three years ago with Frank - a pretty (but quite hairy) girl, and later we got married. Of course, I am ready to admit that laser hair removal may not be quite the best thing to do on a first date but why not consider it before actually going on one. If you have a 'unibrow'(this was my case), get it removed and no one will ever suspect you had one. If you are a woman suffering from dark facial hair, consider laser hair removal - it might turn out to be the best solution if you give it a try.

Chest hair removal is widely practiced these days by all beauty-conscious people. Removal of hair makes chest look clean with clearly visible muscles. That is why chest hair removal is mandatory for those engaged in bodybuilding and modeling fields. Many women also practice chest hair removal, which makes their skin more attractive.

There are many methods available for chest hair removal, which include shaving, waxing, hair removal creams, and laser and electrolysis methods. The first three are do-it-yourself methods for home use, and they are short term hair removals. The last two are salon methods, practiced only by trained professionals. They offer permanent hair removal. If the hair is too long, cut your hair using a scissor or hair trimmer before practicing any method.

Shaving is a fast, least expensive and most popular method of chest hair removal. But it lasts only for a few days, usually 2 to 4 days, and can cause cuts and irritation. Before shaving, always keep the skin and hair moist, and apply shaving cream at least 3 minutes before shaving. Use only sharp new blade and stock multiple blades. Shave slowly without applying much pressure. Shave down first, then up. Do not shave an area more than twice.

Waxing is another method widely practiced for chest hair removal. It is better than shaving. Waxing can provide more lasting effects. A number of chest hair removal waxers are available in the market. Another alternative to waxing, known as sugaring, is also practiced widely.

Nipple area is highly sensitive with lot of nerves, thus closely tweeze the hair with tweezers. Do not shave or wax this area. Tweezers and epilators are not commonly used for the rest of the chest area. Since they remove hair individually, it will take a longer time to complete one session, and they often need the assistance of another person.

Yet another widely practiced method is the use of chest hair removal or depilatory creams. These creams dissolve the hair protein making the hair fit to be wiped or washed off the skin. They are comparatively inexpensive and easier to use. But the effect never lasts long.

Laser chest hair removal is a comparatively new technique. It is quick and it offers permanent hair removal. But it requires multiple sessions in one or two week interval and is very expensive.

You've probably heard about how lots of European women don't give a fig about underarm hair or hair on their legs. But many other women are not as accepting of body hair as their European counterparts. And throughout history, women have been employing various techniques to do this: from ancient Egyptian women's use of beeswax and sharp implements to eliminate leg hair up to the modern-day practices of waxing and the use of lasers to achieve a smooth and hairless complexion. Here, we'll take a quick look at some of the pros and cons of laser hair removal and whether it's the right path to take for a more hairless you.

Hair is removed via lasers in the following way: a series of low-level laser beams is targeted at hair follicles (or the root of the hair) in certain areas of the body. The hair then falls out and new growth is discouraged. Here are some of the reasons for the popularity of laser hair removal:

- Long-lasting results. The laser beams zoom in on hair follicles, either destroying them or significantly disabling them. Thus, hair is a lot slower to grow back and in some cases, they don't grow back altogether. And any hair that grows back tends to be finer, thinner, and less visible. Imagine the time savings you could realize. Finally, freedom from regular bikini waxes, leg-shaving, and facial hair-plucking!

- Broader and more convenient applications. Laser hair removal technologies and equipment have evolved in such a way that it is now possible to treat broad areas of the skin - such as the back and legs - in addition to localized areas like the skin above the upper lip and around the nipples. There is a wide variety of laser hair removal gadgets and equipment to suit individual cases.

- Increased safety regulations. Hair removal via laser is a process approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). So, the techniques used must meet stringent regulations. In addition, individual states themselves are issuing criteria that laser hair removal cosmeticians must comply with in order to practice their trade.

Laser hair removal may seem like a godsend to many a woman, but she would do well to remember that it is not a “one-size-fits-all” sort of technology. Like most other cosmetic procedures today, it does have its disadvantages, the following of which are just a few.

- Slower results for dark-skinned or tanned women. Laser hair removal procedures are most suitable for individuals with light-colored skin and dark hair because the laser beam targets dark material. Dark skin pigmentation can prevent lasers from reaching the hair follicles more rapidly. Evidence also shows that the lighter a woman's hair color, the less efficient the technology is in eliminating those problem hairs.

- Laser hair removal treatment costs. It takes several sessions to rid a body part of hair, and each session costs on average $300 up to $1,000. It really depends on how much hair needs to be removed and the type of lasers used. Some clinics' laser hair removal prices are calculated on a “per-pulse” basis and several hundred laser pulses may be needed to remove hair in just one area. Also, because hair grows in cycles, it's almost a sure bet that repeat sessions will be needed to ensure that all unwanted hair is removed - which translates to more cash out of your pocket.

- Potential side effects or no effect at all. All cosmetic procedures carry a risk of adverse effects, and laser hair removal is no exception. Patients have complained of first- and second-degree burns, blisters, and lesions. Others have noted that patterns of hair regrowth are patchy and unpleasant to look at. And still others have inexplicably experienced insignificant or no hair loss at all, despite their being ideal candidates for the procedure.

Laser hair removal is just one of the wonders of modern dermatology, technology that can make a woman look more beautiful in the shortest amount of time and in the safest way possible. Although procedures like this are constantly changing and improving, you shouldn't just rush blindly into it. It's important to consult your dermatologist and conduct your own research to determine whether you'll be getting the maximum benefits that medical laser techniques can offer.

Using the right kind of hair brush and keeping it clean is necessary if you want to have strong hair, which will not fall out in the future.

A Natural Hair Brush

Using a natural bristle like boar?s hair is a good decision. The boar bristle hair brush bristles are similar to the keratin of your hair and absorb the dirt and oil just like your hair. In addition the tips of the boar hair brush are rounded and gently massage your scalp and hair.

Kent hair brushes are available in boar hair. But avoid the Kent nylon hair brush if you want the best care for your hair.

The nylon hair brush is not recommended since it is rougher on your scalp and is no where as good as the boar bristle hair brush. The nylon bristles are usually sharp and inflamed your follicles and break your hair when you use it.

Brushing Your Hair

To maintain good hair growth you need good circulation to your scalp. You need also need a clean scalp with little oil and dirt accumulating in your hair follicles. The boar hair brush helps you achieve this when you regularly brush your hair.

Brush your hair when it is dry. This prevents breaking of your hair. When you brush, the gentle pulling of your hair stimulates your scalp bringing in more blood to feed your hair. Also the slight pulling stimulates the release of oil from your follicles which lubricates your hair.

Brush your hair with a boar bristle hair brush twice a day for the best hair care ? morning and night. For short hair brush for three minutes and for long hair brush five minutes.

By bending your head to the floor, when brushing, you will increase the blood circulation to your scalp. Now, brush from your neck forward to the front of your scalp, then, from sides to your crown. Lastly, brush from the front of your scalp to the neck.

Cleaning Your Boar Hair Brush

If possible, you should clean your brush every day. If you have two or more hair brushes then it will be easier to do this. Your boar bristle hair brush accumulates dirt and oils from hair when you brush. Without regular cleaning of your hair brush, this dirt and oil will redeposit onto your hair. Over time this added dirt and oil will plug up your hair follicles and lead to hair thinning or permanent hair loss.

You can clean your brush every day when you shower. Clean it with shampoo and scrub the bristles with your hand back and forth. After cleaning, you can dry the brush with a towel and let it sit until the next day. By the next day, it is ready to use and your other brush is ready to be cleaned.

So, using a natural hair brush like the boar bristle hair brush is the best way to care for your hair. Gentle daily brushing stimulates your scalp and keeps you hair healthy. But don?t forget to keep your hair brush clean, since your don?t want to put the dirt and oil on your brush back onto your scalp.

Unsightly stubble, ingrown hair, shave bumps, and pain ? where there is hair, there is a problem removing it. Depilation is a huge industry, from razors to bleaches to clinical treatments. Millions of treatments and millions of dollars are spent yearly trying to get rid of unwanted hair. But if shaving, waxing, tweezing, and electrolysis aren?t the answer, what is?

There are two progressive options:

  • Lasers. Laser hair removal, approved by the FDA in 1995, uses laser bursts to penetrate beneath the skin and damage hair follicles so that hair doesn?t re-grow. The lasers are attracted to the color in the hair follicle and leaves the skin around it undamaged.

    Old ruby lasers weren?t good for people with dark skin since they were shallow, interacting with the surface of the skin and being attracted to the skin pigment as well as the hair people with light hair (red, gray, or blond) may not respond to that kind of treatment, either. Modern diode lasers penetrate beneath the skin to the follicle, rather than skin pigments, making it more effective for a broader range of skin/hair types.

  • Intense pulsed light with radio frequency (RF). The next generation of hair removal uses pulses of light energy alternating with radio frequency. Like laser hair removal, the light is attracted to the hair follicle the RF, which is a stronger energy source but not as targeted, follows the course of the light and neutralizes the follicle.

    Intense pulsed light devices are not lasers they magnify light using filters which block unwanted wavelengths. Intense pulsed light alone can cause pain but pulsed light alternated with RF is safer, along with being more effective.

Both diode lasers and intense pulsed light with RF work on facial hair as well as body hair ? so smooth skin anywhere is easy to achieve.

The Consultation

Any good laser center tailors the treatment regimen to the patient?s specific needs. There are several factors which affect the machine settings, number of treatments, and best kind of treatment:

  • Hair type. How quickly the hair grows, the texture, and the color.
  • Skin type. Along with skin color, skin sun sensitivity or whether the person sunburns easily.
  • Medical conditions which cause sensitivity to light like lupus, medications like antibiotics or beta carotene, seizure disorders, pregnancy, and pacemakers.

There are also things for the patient to do that can increase the effectiveness of the treatment.

  • Shave before the treatment the light reaches the follicle better.
  • Do not use lotions, perfumes, or cosmetics beforehand these react with the light and can cause skin irritation.
  • Don?t tan for at least four weeks in advance. Newly tanned skin diverts the laser light, reducing the treatment?s safety.
  • Moisturize and drink plenty of water before and after treatments. Healthy skin preserves the great appearance of the skin after the treatment.

The Procedure

A small instrument is moved over the target area, causing a slight warming sensation any discomfort is like a gentle brief pinch. Underarms take about ten minutes legs can take as long as two hours.

Hair grows in cycles, and not all follicles are active at the same time. Laser and pulsed light/RF treatments target only active hair follicles, so repeat visits are required to eliminate hair completely the normally recommended number is six*, with seven to thirteen weeks between each session.

Location, Location, Location

Be proactive when finding the right laser hair removal treatment center, and ask questions before signing up for treatment:

  • How many treatments has the center performed? Ask for references.
  • What kind of training do the technicians have? Good treatment centers ensure their employees are specially trained in these treatments.
  • What kind of equipment do they use? Make sure the equipment is current. Even machines two years old can be too far behind current technology.
  • Can the center provide long term service? Facial hair has an active cycle of seven to eleven weeks leg hair, as long as seventeen weeks. The full treatment process can be over a year, so the center should provide assurances it will still be around.
  • Do they offer a guarantee? The laser center should offer a guarantee of their work ? but watch for centers that may charge for that guarantee.

*Depending on hair and skin color, some persons may require additional sessions.

American Laser Hair Removal provides professional laser hair removal services performed by specially trained staff for a painless, long lasting hair removal solution.

Before we look at how to use the sedu hair straightener to achieve the best results, let us first look at exactly what sedu ceramic hair straighteners are.

Sedu ceramic hair straighteners are the latest in hair straightening technology and come complete with ultra smooth ceramic plates that have been designed to prevent stretching and breaking of the hair. The sedu hair straightener also comes with a faster heat up time and also takes less time to achieve your desired hairstyle. Sounds great, so how do you actually use the sedu hair iron?

The sedu hair iron comes with its own temperature control gauge so you can select the perfect setting for your hair type.

Do not overuse the sedu hair iron on any section of your hair. It is important to note that the sedu hair iron has been designed to cut half the straightening time of other models and therefore 2 to three passes on each section of the hair is plenty.
