Wedding hairstyles should complement the gown. Thus, professional stylists suggest that the perfect time to plan the bride's look is after the gown has been selected. Certain shapes and fit of gowns go with specific hairstyles. For instance, fitted gowns call for elegant and smooth hairstyles whereas flowing long gowns are better suited for softer ones. Fabrics are also helpful in determining the right hairstyle. Light fabrics will complement wispy curls and textured hair whereas heavy fabrics demand structured barrel curls or smooth hair. Notice how a chiffon wedding dress looks very beautiful when the bride wears a loose pouf in the back?

When choosing hair color, if your natural color suits you and the style, stay with it. Why change something that looks great? If you are looking for a new color, make sure to speak to your stylist, get the professional opinions, and go from there.

One thing that makes a hair style stand out is the way the hair shines. It is recommended to use a good hair conditioner before ever beginning to style the hair. Then afterwards you can use a shining serum or even a spray to add some gloss too.

Not every bride will have long hair as to many women, short hair is just as beautiful and also sophisticated and can also be very much bridal as long hair. You can add an attachment like a crown, or a comb or even a flower, which can really make the hair style look even more gorgeous.

The hair should then be temporarily clipped behind the ear. One small strand of hair can also be pulled from the new section in order to create an accent piece. This strand should be taken from near the eyebrow and it can be left either straight or slightly curled.

Next, the other side of the hair should be brushed until it is smooth. It should be brushed behind the other ear and also clipped temporarily. Each section can then be unclipped from behind the ears one at a time. The sections should then be separated equally into bottom and top sections, making each section into two new sections. The bottom portion should be pulled into a loose ponytail in order to keep it out of the way for the next step.

Low twists are among the most fabulous asymmetrical wedding hairstyles for long hair this year. Have your hairstylist gather all of your hair near the nape of your neck. Let the pulled back part be smooth and tidy, which allows you to tease the twist part without getting that overall messy appearance. The gathered section of hair at the nape of the neck can either be arranged into a loose twisted bun or a more polished smooth spiral. Complete the effect with a glamorous feather headpiece or a cluster of Swarovski crystal hairpins.

Having your hair falling around the shoulders on your wedding day is traditional when you have a sleeveless dress with the back out. You probably don't want to show all of your back, so choosing the right hairstyle for your wedding in this case should be easy. Just let your hair fall down in either a curly or bone straight style.

But keep in mind that when your hair is down, you may be hiding some of your beauty, especially in the case of very long hair. You may have a decorative belt, or bodice that will be hidden by your long hair falling down over it. When you are choosing the right hairstyle for your wedding, you want to maximize the effect of your outfit and your hairstyle at the same time.

Short hair ladies can have an innovated thing called extensions. Applying this extensions procedure gives a healthier and thicker look to the wavy hairs. The hairstyles I have narrated can be used by anyone whether the brides or upcoming guests at wedding ceremonies. It is not false to say that improper and unsuitable hairstyling can damage the appearance of your extra ordinary wedding outfit. I am not saying for females particularly in fact boys can also make use of their wavy hairs.

A half up and half down hairstyle with ringlets gives a perfect gorgeous look. The long curly locks cascading down the back of the bride in an off the shoulder gown looks too good on a wedding day. She should ensure to practice for a few times before the wedding day. Washing the hair the day, before the hairstyle is made would be good idea, as it holds the curls and updo hair styles in a better way.

If the bride wants longer, fuller hair on her wedding day, then one can use the hair extensions to get the look. These hair extensions are made purely from human hair and are dyed to match with the color of the bride's hair. It gives that great professional touch.

Some brides want a veil, but prefer to keep it entirely in the back of their head. In that case, the hairstyle that will work is an updo situated either high on the head, or in the middle of the back of your head. You can go for a more elaborate high updo, or opt for a simple sleek ballerina bun closer to the nape of your neck. The veil can be put in under the knot of hair, which makes it easy to remove for the reception, if you like. A scattering of pretty hairpins or a jeweled comb on top of the hairdo is the perfect finishing touch.

Out for Directory Sign

2011-11-03T08:44:00.002-07:00

The First Location - Ikano Power Center

These were the directory sign that can be found near the main escalators The categories for different department in the shopping mall in written in the sign board above. In my opinion, I don't think this kind of directory sign was clearly states the locations in the complex. Since it is just defined in different categories, visitor may not get to the certain shop in a direct way. Besides, it will be difficult for people that could not read.

I am satisfy for this kind of directory sign design. Firstly, it is well present in a simple way. By using the universal symbol, people may easily understand where is the arrow leading to compare to reading word. The only problem for this is the symbol above were too small to see. Visitors may not see where will be lead to from further side.

The Second Location - The Curve

This a directory sign that can get at the main entrance. It roughly showed the location in the mall which gave a simple direction guide to the visitors. Compare to the directory sign in Ikano, this sign looks more interesting because it apply colour to the design.

After that, there is another sign board for guilding visitors to shops in G level. It clearly stated with shop name. Althought it looks clean and tidy, I will prefer that the use back the logo or font design of the shop because it will looks more familiar to the visitors.

In the middle of the mall, there was a detail directory sign. Since the previous sign were too roughly, it is good to have a detail one especially for the visitors who came here for the first time.

Below the ceilling, there were also directory sign that showed some main location. The idea of this design was good by using combination of symbol and word. The glowing word on the sign board allow visitors to see it clearly.

Besides that, directory sign on the wall also good enough for visitors who looking for certain places.

Level and location directory sign that can get beside lifts also important since people usually may stop there waiting for lifts. In this case, they can take their time to read and check where are they and where can they go to.

Environmental Design

2011-11-03T08:44:00.001-07:00

According to Wikipedia:
Environmental design is the process of addressing surrounding environmental parameters when devising plans, programs, policies, buildings, or products. Classical prudent design may have always considered environmental factors; however, the environmental movement beginning in the 1940s has made the concept more explicit.

After few lecture during the class, I understand that environmental design is about create something more like an architectural stuff which may related to buildings.

One of the point for environmental design is about to carry out a theme or a mood. Which a theme, the concept of design may not successfully apply to the object. If there is too messy, it will only give distraction to the visitor or the viewer but not bring them into your design.

There are some image that I get from Google Image which inspired me =)

In this picture, it is more like a combination of natural and modern building structure. By using grey colour on the iron frame, it neutral the colour between the structure and the environment. It shows the mood of relax and peace.

This is quite interesting when I first saw it. According to the picture, I think this is kind of a exhibition. The white thing looks like cloud when the background area was tinted with blue.

This interior design do looks creative! I like the way they play with the shape. In my opinion, this design can be an office of design company office! It show a good working environment. Their client will leave good impression when during the first came =D

For the last image, I am not sure that whether this a 3D model of a design concept of a real building. The shape and design of the building is daring a modern looking! This looks more like a building that we can get in science fiction.

Enjoy =)

Hair salon

2011-11-03T08:44:00.000-07:00

Hi, today I'm gonna talk about hair salon which considered had good environmental design elements.

These are some salon images that I took from Google Image. The reason I took it is because the neat look of the salon. By having a shampoo or product display in front of their salon, people who pass by may notice this is a salon and roughly what service they provide.

Usually, a salon is 'noticeable' because they always have big mirror and adjustable chair.

Would you do your hair cut in this kind of salon?

By looking at their interior design, I would like to say yes. This is because their had a nice interior design that make me wanted to go in. Besides, a nice looking environment really tell people that you are serious in this job. You wanted to give the best service to your customers. It do show your passion to the customers.

In another perspective, a good design like this may make people think that it is costly to had a hair cut in your salon. I admit I am a illiberal person. I wont spend a lot to have a hair cut ( hair is always grow, can you imagine how much you spent for it?)

Base on my research, a good environmental design have to find out who is the target audience. For example, the luxury salon mention above may not targeted on university student like me. They may targeted on people that who willing to spent for their hair job =P

A Little Story about My Hair

2011-11-03T08:43:00.002-07:00

(From officialkourtneyk.celebuzz.com)

A lot of you have been asking about hair products that I use. I absolutely LOVEFrédéric Fekkai products. I love their glossing shampoo and conditionerfor those days when your hair feels dull and needs a little shine. My hair is pretty fine, and I love volume, so whenever I am going out I use their Full Volume shampoo and conditioner. I use their Full Volume Moose if I blow dry my hair. It just makes it last longer and gives my hair a little lift. The glossing cream is great if my hair is dry. I only use a little drop and rub it from my ends up. My favorite hairspray is TextureLineTexture Spray Hold Firm by LOreal .

7 Questions to Ask Your Hairstylist

2011-11-03T08:43:00.001-07:00

The right haircut can slim your face, flatter your features and make you look 10 years younger. The wrong one can shatter your confidence in a single snip. How can you avoid the too-short bob, the impossible-to-style shag and other shear horrors?Hollywood ’s hottest hairdressers reveal the seven questions you should ask to guarantee a great cut every time. Plus: The words that should never cross your lips when you’re sitting in the stylist’s chair…

1. Will it look good on me?
When Keira Knightley traded in her long locks for a short shag, she catapulted into a new category of chic – and women around the country dashed to salons to copy her ’do. After all, who doesn’t want to look like a star? “Even celebrities bring in pictures of other celebrities,” says stylist Robert Hallowell, who has worked with stars like Geena Davis and Lucy Liu. (Check out his hair-care line, prawduct®, atwww.thekitchenbeautician.com).

But what looks great on a glossy magazine cover may not flatter you. “A haircut needs to complement your face shape, bone structure and even the way you carry yourself,” says stylist Adir Abergel, who has worked with Madonna and Jessica Biel. His salon, Hair by Adir, can be reached at 310.397.0397.

Knightley’s particular cut works best on slimmer face shapes, but that didn’t dissuade round-faced gals from trying it. “Women see a celebrity’s hairstyle and they want to relate, even if it doesn’t work on them,” says Abergel. A haircut should flatter your best assets while downplaying your least favorite features.

If the look you crave isn’t ideal for you, a good stylist can incorporate certain elements of the cut, tailoring a modified style to your face. “I always believe in customizing the haircut to fit the client,” says hair stylist Kim Kimble.

2. What are your credentials?
All hairdressers should have a state certificate showing completion of cosmetology school. To go above and beyond, they can earn advanced training certificates, which show they’ve taken continuing education classes throughout the year, explains Kimble. Even hair guru Hallowell recently returned to the classroom to enhance his skills. Taking continuing education courses shows a stylist is serious about the craft, he says.

One crucial credential can’t be proved with any certificate – a satisfied clientele. Clients often refer friends to their stylists when they’re complimented on their hair, says Kimble. If you spy a woman with a great ’do, “literally stop her and ask who does her hair,” suggests Abergel. He also recommends reading objective reviews of salons and stylists in beauty magazines like Allure.

3. Is it a hard style to maintain?
That layered bob might look great when an expert styles it. But if your styling prowess is limited and your new look requires a two-hour wrestling match with a blow dryer every morning, you’ll have wasted your money.

Whether you’re a mom on the go or a beauty junkie willing to devote hours to your tresses, “tell your stylist how much time you’re willing to put into the styling,” Abergel suggests. You can also ask for a versatile cut – one that looks stunning when vamped up with a curling iron but that will also look good when you can only manage a quick shampoo.

4. How do I style it?
Ask your hair guru for a hands-on styling lesson before you leave the salon. Stylists can see angles of your locks that you can’t. “I’ve had clients who think they’re blow-drying their hair but are really hitting the plant behind them,” says Hallowell.

When considering a new style, always keep your hair’s texture in mind. If you want a haircut that looks best styled straight and you have curly hair, be prepared to use a flat iron every day, says Hallowell. Ask your stylist to show you how.

Another do-it-yourself tip: “If you want to look great, learn how to use a round brush and a blow-dryer,” Abergel advises.

5. How short will it really be?
Why do women who request one to two inches off the bottom end up with a chin-length disaster? “Part of the problem is that ‘one to two inches’ means something different to different people,” says Abergel. His advice? “Show your stylist how much you want taken off on a ruler – it will show you’re serious about not losing the length.” Hallowell also recommends that you physically take your finger and show the stylist where you want your hair to hit: I want the shortest layer to hit here, no higher than my collarbone.

“Emphasize this is the final look you want when it’s dry,” he says. After all, curly hair that falls to mid-back when wet could be chin-length once dry. Arrive at the salon with your hair in its natural state, advises Abergel. That way your stylist can see the movement and natural wave.

If your stylist starts hacking away, stick up for yourself. Tell him or her to stop before it’s too late. “In the end, you’re the one who has to live with your hair, not your stylist," says Abergel.

6. Do I have to buy the products?
Be wary of the product pusher who insists you purchase every can of hairspray or tube of gel used during the appointment. “You can definitely achieve [a salon] look at home without your stylist’s products,” says Abergel.

Although he’s a fan of Frederic Fekkai’s line, Abergel doesn’t pressure his clients to buy it. “Women know their own hair better than anyone. They know what brands work for them,” he says.

7. What’s included in the price?
This situation is all too common: After a cut, the stylist will casually ask if you want a blow-dry. Thinking it’s part of the service, you say yes, only to be surprised with a $20 styling charge.

Most stylists aren’t trying to trick you, but to be safe, “get everything clear in the beginning,” says Kimble. For example, does the price of the haircut include a consultation, shampoo and/or conditioner, scalp massage, and styling lesson? And during your cut, pay attention. If your stylist starts blow-drying or curling your hair and you’re not sure if the service is included, ask.

Never Say This
The words that will seal your fate in the salon? “Cut it however you want.” Giving your stylist free rein to play Edward Scissorhands can end in disaster.

“The number one mistake women make when they get their hair cut is having no idea what they want,” says Hallowell. Do your homework beforehand by scouting out looks in beauty magazines. Even if you can’t find your perfect cut, you’ll see aspects of different styles that you like. Share them with your stylist.

Also, come clean about your past: “Communicate which hairstyles have worked for you and which ones haven’t,” says Abergel.

12 Tips for Healthy Hair

2011-11-03T08:43:00.000-07:00

repost from shape, by Kathy Kramer

Hair is the ultimate accessory; it can add to (or detract from) your overall look instantly। Keeping it in healthy condition is the most important thing you can do to help it look and feel fabulous. And, while it seems easy, this isn't as simple as minimizing chemical treatments or slathering on a weekly deep conditioner. While these can make your strands softer and less split-end-prone, what really matters is the daily handling; this is what creates the most stress--and potential damage--to your tresses. To help your locks look their best, we asked top experts from around the country for their advice on how to baby your mane every single day. So whether your concern is dullness, damage, frizz or fragility, we have the answers to ease even the toughest hair-care woes. Read on for tips to achieve run-your-fingers-through-it hair.

1 Steer clear of plastic-bristle brushes. "The proper bristles are key," says stylist Edward Tricomi of the Warren-Tricomi Salon in New York City. "A combination of natural boar bristles on either a round or flat brush are best for dry hair, while soft, rubber-toothed wide-paneled brushes are best for damp hair." Our favorite brushes include the Mason Pearson Boar Bristle brush ($78.50; zitomer.com) and Aveda's Wooden Paddle Brush ($17; aveda.com).
2 Brush before shampooing. A few gentle strokes on dry hair will help remove product buildup and scalp flakes, as well as stimulate the scalp and promote blood flow (which delivers nutrients like oxygen) to hair follicles. For a smoother slide, try Clairol Herbal Essences Let It Loose Detangling Spray ($3; at drugstores).
3 Know your water. If your hair looks dull or is hard to style, the problem could be your tap water. According to Minneapolis-based Gordon Nelson, international creative director for Regis Salons, well water contains natural minerals (called "hard water") that can leave hair lusterless and hard to manage and can impart a brassy, orange hue. Soft water , on the other hand, has fewer damaging minerals. (Ask your local water department if your water is soft or hard, or try using Robert Craig's No More Bad Hair Days Kit, $20; robertcraig.com; with strips to test your water.) To rid hair of mineral buildup, suds up every week with a clarifying shampoo. We like Frederic Fekkai Apple Cider Clarifying Shampoo and Clean Conditioner ($18.50 each; saks.com).

4 Mist your ends with water before home coloring. The ends of your hair are more porous and, as a result, absorb more pigment. "Wet hair doesn't absorb color as readily as dry hair," explains Renee Patronik, a consulting colorist for L'Oreal in New York.
5 Trim your troubles. As the ends of your hair get older and damaged by rough handling, they become prone to splitting, Nelson says. Get regular trims, at least 1/2 inch every four to eight weeks. "Hair grows (on average) half an inch per month, so trim to maintain healthy ends," says stylist Stephen Knoll of the Stephen Knoll Salon in New York.
6 Use color-protective products. Chemical treatments like color can damage hair because the chemicals have to penetrate the outer layer of the hair (or cuticle) to allow the hue to be absorbed, explains stylist Rodolfo Valentin of Rodolfo Valentin Atelier for Hair in New York. Color-protective products are specially designed to minimize dryness, keep color true and prevent damage. "They typically have more nourishing ingredients, strip less color and are less abusive," Knoll explains. We love L'Oreal VIVE Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner ($3.69 each; at drugstores) and Matrix Biolage Color Care Shampoo ($10) and Conditioner ($11; matrix.com for salon locations).
7 Give wet hair extra TLC. It stretches and snaps more easily than dry hair does, so be extra-gentle with it. "Use a wide-tooth plastic comb while hair is wet; then, once it's towel-dried, switch to a good brush," says Jon Patrick, color director of the Mete Turkmen Hair Salon Plus in New York. And avoid wooden combs; wood can have microscopic divots that snag hairs. Instead try the Jilbere de Paris plastic shower comb ($1.49; sally beauty.com for store locations).
8 Deep condition once every two weeks. "These treatments penetrate the hair shaft and strengthen strands," says Patrick, who adds that using heat (from a blow-dryer) can intensify deep conditioning, as the heat causes the cuticle to open and the ingredients to penetrate.
For nourishing results, try Kerastase Masquintense ($36; 877-748-8357 for salons), available for fine or thick hair; Neutrogena Triple Moisture Sheer Hydration Leave-In Foam ($7; at drugstores); or Ellin Lavar Textures ReconstructMasque ($25; ellinlavar.com).

9 Try an ionic dryer। Ions are atoms with a positive or negative charge. These particular hair-dryers bathe your hair in negative ions, which help break up water molecules faster and cancel out hair-damaging positive ions, Valentin explains. Plus, your hair-drying time is cut in half. We love the Bio Ionic Super-Hydrator Pro Dryer ($165; bioionic.com for salon locations).
10 Just use your dryer's nozzle, urges stylist Frank Galasso of Frank.Studio in Santa Monica, Calif. It's the best way to help prevent frizz because it concentrates the airflow on sections. "Without a nozzle the dryer's grill gets very hot; if your hair gets too close to it, it will cause damage and/or breakage," explains stylist Mark Garrison of the Mark Garrison Salon in New York.
For curls, use a diffuser attachment to gently surround your hair with air. Try Vidal Sassoon Ceramic Finger Diffuser ($8; hotus.com for store locations). Follow up with John Frieda's Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Creme ($6; at drugstores) to smooth strands.
11 Give textured or relaxed hair a break. African-American hair tends to be coarse due to a lack of natural oils (more so if chemically processed), says New York-based celebrity hairstylist Ellin Lavar. Lavar suggests opting for gentle color choices like semipermanent or vegetable color. Spacing processing treatments at least two weeks apart, with weekly conditioning treatments in between for shine maintenance, helps.
12 Use the right accessories। Kim Vo, a stylist at West Hollywood's B2V Salon, suggests putting hair in soft braids or twists and using claw clips rather than barrettes, which can pull hair. Other options: gentle Goody Ouchless elastic bands ($3 for 14; at drugstores) and L. Erickson Grab 'N Go Pony O's ($12 for three; franceluxe.com).
If you would like to give your hair some time to rest and regain it's health, a sew in weave is a great way to go. Try Extraordinary Lengths Extensions at ExtraordinaryLengths.com.

The History of Hair Extensions

2011-11-03T08:42:00.000-07:00

As far back as the time of the pharaoh's records and artifacts show that hair adornments were commonplace. For millennia long hair has been the hall mark of power and beautiful people.

Hair adornments have meandered in and out of fashion in every century since the time of Cleopatra and the pharaoh's on every continent. In the early 20th century well-to-do edwardian women wore false hair additions to create popular hair styles. This continued right up to the beginning of the 21st Century.

In the pre and post war years hair adornments slipped out of fashion in the mainstream until the emergence of Glam-Rock and celebrities like Debbie Harry in the 1970's, Bonnie Tyler in the 80's and of course the Spice Girls in the 90's whom all glamorised hair extensions.

When we emerged from the hair adornment lull of the early 1900's the fashion changed from wig wearing to hair extensions.

In the 2000's A-list celebrities switch and change (adorned) hair styles almost as frequently as their outfits.

From Tina Turner to Beyonce and Victoria Beckham, celebrities have made hair extensions so popular with the general public that today they are common place at home and in the salon. More recently global stars such as Cheryl Cole have served to keep the passion for hair extensions alive.

Q. How did Hair Extensions and Long hair Styles Become so Popular?

A. Unwittingly the mainstream media and the mega-brands have driven the passion for long hair. Think about it, practically every advertisement that is designed to sell a product or a service to a lady, or a sale that is influenced by a lady is done so by models with long hair!

The media do this because they know that long hair represents power and passion and is an aspirational look.

Sexy long hair sells products in a way that short hair styles cannot, the combined minds of the best people in advertising can't be wrong! Can they?

Q. Where Does all of the Human Hair Come from to Make Hair Extensions and Wigs?

A. Hair Farmers! Mainly in India and China

India. Tonsuring - the act Tonsuring or the of shaving of ones head completely bald with a razor is practiced by 10's of thousands of Indian (and other) women each year as an offering to God and or an act of effacing the ego before marriage.

The act of Tonsuring is organised by and is practiced in the temple, the temple then sells the hair on to the highest bidding "Hair Farmer". This hair is popularly called "Temple Hair" and is generally of very high quality.

China. In the 1050's and 60's during the cultural revolution Mau Tse Tung made women shave their heads, the hair was used in various industrial applications including the stuffing of mattresses, engine oil filters and even soldiers breast plates!

Following the revolution the abundance of long black asian hair found it's way to the African American beauty industry and was used quite in the same way as Cleopatra would have used it way back in history.

For many years "hair extending" remained strictly in the Afro hairdressing community until the early 90's when it was legitimised and glamorised by modern mainstream celebrities.

Human hair is not always given freely, often lower grade hair comes from mortuaries, prisons, salon clippings and "fallen hair" is collected from Chinese consumers who keep the hair left in the hairbrush and sell it to the "hair farmers"

Human Hair Route to Western Hair Extensions and Wig Market

Generally speaking the majority of the worlds Human Hair is processed in Chinese factories.

1. A batch of Human Hair ready to be "combed" and sized.

2. Measuring and Sorting.

3. Ready for Processing.

The hair you see in the examples above is a result of Tonsuring, hair freely donated to the temple as an offering to god and then sold to the hair farmer for processing and selling on to the manufacturers of Hair Extensions and Wigs.

Hair is a great source of personal pride to the Ladies who donate it to the temples, they generally grow it very long and look after it extremely well before sacrificing it to God ahead of their wedding day as a demonstration that they are willing to give up their vanity and offer themselves fully to God and their new husbands as well as asking for future health and happiness. This is what makes Indian Temple Remy Hair the best suited to manufacture premium hair extensions.

Indian Remy Hair Structure

2011-11-03T08:41:00.001-07:00

Human hair extensions are the most popular. The hair used for your hair extension is for the greatest part responsible for your looks and the life span of your extension and is therefore of great importance. It is good to know some more about it before visiting a salon. There is a large variety of human hair used for hair extensions. When a poor hair quality is used your human hair extension can become a nightmare. It can result in dry, brittle hair that tangles constantly. When it comes to hair there are two basic sections, the human hair extension and the synthetic hair extension. On this page we explain more about the different types of human hair used for extensions.

Human Hair Structure (the cuticle) Hair is made of different layers. The outer layer, called the "cuticle", is made up of overlapping layers of long cells. They lie on the surface aligned in the same direction like the tiles on a roof with their free edges directed towards the tip. The cuticle locks in essential moisture and protects the hair against outside elements. A healthy cuticle is much more than just a protective layer. Much of the shine is due to the cuticle, light reflects from their glossy surfaces. This, together with the pigment within the cortex, gives hair its characteristic appearance. Hair without cuticle would appear dull and lifeless, it would dry out and become brittle. Human hair extensions The human hair used in the hair extension industry comes in different qualities. In general we can say that we get what we pay for, the lower the price of your hair extension the less hair quality we can expect. The highest quality hair will still have all it's cuticle perfectly aligned in the same direction. If the cuticle scales are not facing the same direction, hair will interlock like Velcro, this will lead to matted and tangled hair. Cheaper hair is very often placed in an acid bath which completely destroys the cuticle. To restore the shine this hair is covered with a silicon layer. It looks beautiful but after a few washes the silicon is removed and the hair matts, tangles, and becomes dry. European human hair does not necessarily come from Europe. It is a group name for different hair with an almost similar structure. Indian hair, Latin American hair, European hair, the only exemptions are Asian hair and African hair (their structure is very different). Typical European human hair is relatively thin and has an oval cross-section. This is a popular hair type for a human hair extension. Asian hair (mostly Chinese hair) is very often used for human hair extensions. This hair is thicker than European hair and has a round cross-section. It is dark black. To prepare this hair for use in hair extensions it is usually made thinner (acid bath) and lighter. This hair is less expensive. Indian hair has a very similar basic structure as European hair. In general this hair type is of a very high quality. However the method of collection is very essential. When different types of hair are mixed with cuticles aligned in different directions this hair becomes of a much less quality and therefore less expensive. To prevent tangling the cuticles must be removed and the hair is covered by silicon. Hair companies in Korea and Indonesia are specialized in this type of hair. Collected in the right way with all the cuticles present and in the same direction this hair is one of the best hair types available for use in a human hair extension. Remi hair is a name you will hear when you shop around for hair extensions. They claim to use only the finest and most beautiful human hair in the world with all cuticles in the same direction. Synthetic hair is man-made fiber that is made to look like your own hair. It produces a different sheen than human hair, moves differently and therefore does not blend with human hair. New fibers are developed continuously that are better resistant to heat and have an appearance closer to human hair. It comes in a large variety of colors. This hair is the most inexpensive. Sometimes this hair is mixed with human hair and a combination is used for a human hair extension. In most cases this is of course not the way to do it. Both hair types need a different after care. The majority of hair sold today is non-cuticle hair, which is less expensive. So if you want to spend less money on your hair extension this could be fine for you as long as you realize that this hair will probably start matting, tangling and become dry a lot sooner than a higher quality hair. Overheating is one of your hair's biggest enemies, the damage can be as deep as the cortex which is in the middle. Be careful not to use too much heat when you use a blowdryer or curling iron. It is best to let your hair dry naturally. Chemical treatments like color and perm can be harmful as well. Go to your stylist for advise, they should know what is best for your hair. Brush your hair gentle to prevent damage. This is not just better for your hair extensions but it will also keep your own hair healthier. European and Indian Remi hair is the most popular for a human hair extension but also the most expensive.

Hair Growth

2011-11-03T08:41:00.000-07:00

Hair growth starts since birth and will grow till old age. It is one of the most hard working part of your skin because it grows throughout your lifetime and hardly stops working.

Throughout the years, your hair is bombarded with chemicals from your shampoos, colorings, perms and conditioners. It faces wind and sun, sweat and pollution yet it still continues to grow. After a while, the hair follicle rests and then starts to produce a new hair follicle again. This is known as the hair growth cycle.Before you decide to start any hair loss treatment, it' s good to understand how your hair grows first to give yourself better perspective and options when choosing your treatments.

Getting to Know Your Hair

Before we start explaining the hair growth cycle, let' s take a look at the diagram below for a brief explanation of your hair.

Your hair follicle is a small complex organ which is a part of your skin. Some of the important parts are

Sebaceous gland
The sebaceous glands produces sebum, a kind of oily substance that is responsible for protecting your hair from

Becoming dry
Brittle and cracked
Inhibits growth of microorganism on the skin

Blood and lymph vessels
The blood and lymph vessels are your energy and nutrient supply line to the skin and hair follicles. This supply will be disconnected from your hair follicle when it reaches the CATAGEN phase.
Arrector pilli muscle
The Arrector pilli muscle is attached to your hair follicle, this soft muscle is responsible for making your hair stands up when you have goose bumps. It also function by raising the hair to catch the heat to keep you warm. Stem cells are found in the junction of this muscle and your hair follicle and are responsible the ongoing hair production during the ANAGEN phase.

How to care for Remy Extensions

2011-11-03T08:40:00.001-07:00

Taking care of your hair extensions will not give you a lot of extra work. Here are just a few tips that will help to keep your extensions and your hair in a better condition.

First of all follow the instructions given to you by your stylist.

Washing: Keep your hair clean. Hair tangles when dirt and sweat build up, wash your hair after exercise, swimming etc. Brush your hair and remove all tangles before washing it. Wash your hair going in a downward motion. Use a good quality shampoo, your stylist can advise you what product is best for your hair. When lots of water is added at once to very dry hair, hair can swell up and tangle. Gradually wet the hair and brush gently before you completely wash it. This is more common with less expensive extension hair.

Styling: When brushing use a soft bristle brush, start at the ends of your hair and gently work your way up. Always brush in a downward motion. Do not brush harshly. Brush your hair 2 or 3 times a day. Heat is your one of your hair’s biggest enemy, the more you use it, the shorter your hair extensions will last. Be careful with the use of blowdryers and curling irons. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.

Exercise: Wear a cap when swimming or keep your hair out of the water. Chlorine and salt water can cause the hair to tangle and mat up. It is recommended to wear your hair up or in a ponytail when you swim or exercise

Sleeping: Never sleep on wet hair, make sure your hair is completely dry before you go to bed. It is also recommended to wrap your hair together or gently tie it up to prevent tangling.

Hair care products: Use a good (leave-in) conditioner to keep your hair soft. Don’t over do it. To much conditioner or any other hair care product can cause a build up and tangling. Avoid hair products that contain alcohol. Alcohol makes hair dry. Ask your stylist what would be the best products for your hair.

Hair treatments: Don’t perm, color or any other chemical process to your own hair extensions. Let your stylist take care of that.

In general it is better not to brush synthetic hair and keep this hair away from all sources of excessive heat. Your stylist knows your hair type, ask हिम/her what is best for you and how to take care of your hair extensions.

Finding Remy Indian Hair!

2011-11-03T08:39:00.000-07:00

Indian hair extensions are here to stay and are increasing in popularity and style. More and more women are turning to extensions for that glamorous look rather than the daily maintenance of their own natural hair. In this fast-paced society, it is so much easier to add and remove hair for different occasions and seasons. No matter what the reason you may have for getting extensions, one thing holds true: You want quality, you want it natural looking, and you want tangle-free Remy hair.

Indian hair has traditionally been considered the ultimate hair for wigs, weaves and a variety of extensions. It is know for being strong, durable, and most important, easy to mange. Remy Indian hair has qualities that make it perfect for long lasting applications. Real virgin Indian hair is perfect for styling , and, because it is virgin, it can be customized to various colors. If purchased though a reputable distributor, high quality Indian hair is can be exquisitely beautiful! So have fun styling and coloring your new perfect Indian hair.

Indian hair is collected from community temples in India where women may give their hair as an offering: in much the same way Christians pay tithes. It is common for Indian women to donate hair many times in their lives. Donations most often occur before a major life event, such as marriage or the purchase of a new home. The temple then sells the hair at an auction. The money raised is used to help people in the local community. If you were to ask a woman in India what happens to her hair after she offers it to her temple, she would likely not know.

Finding good Indian Remy hair can be difficult a times, and many distributors just want a quick sale. Some distributors get the Indian hair as cheap as they can and sell it fast before checking the quality of the hair. Do some research before buying. Good Indian hair can last for years if properly take care of, but can be expensive. Purchasing quality Indian Remy Hair should be considered a long term investment. If you spend $65 for two packs of hair, 8oz worth, for a total of $130, that hair may last 2 months. In one year, you will have spent at least $650 on that hair. However, a one-time purchase of $250 on 8oz of Indian hair will last for a year; five times longer than the cheaper hair, which is a savings of $400 per year. Not only that but the Indian hair will look much better and more natural then the $130.00 dollar hair.

If you are spending good money make sure you are getting best Indian Remy hair.

You want Indian hair that is full and not stringy so that you will have fabulous natural look.

You want Indian hair that is not dry so that it will last a long time without tangling.

You want a weft that is tightly sewn to prevent shedding.

That the hair has healthy cuticles running in the same direction to prevent matting.

Wearing Extraordinary Lengths Remy Indian hair gives you that look and feel of your own natural hair. You also have the freedom to color and style it the way you want.

Sometime Remy is spelled Remi with an i instead of a y.

If your bridal wedding dress is elaborate, you must steer clear of elaborate head pieces to avoid overkill. You must rather opt for a simple shoulder length veil to draw attention to the gown. Your hair can be swept up or held in a loose chignon, with the veil providing a simple but elegant statement to accompany the bold wedding gown.

On the other hand, if your dress is simple and stylish, you can get away with wearing an elaborate head piece. You can then further draw attention to this part of your accessory by having your hair in a polished up do or bun to lend a bold statement to your headpiece. Another option is to wear a chapel length flowing bridal veil to further balance out your simple wedding gown.

short wedding hairstyles

Remember, sometimes less is more. Women should really remember that the hair should be the big picture. The accessories are just there to accentuate the style, not dominate it. So, when choosing accessories, going with subtle and smaller pieces is the way to go.

The shorter the hairstyle, the smaller the accessories you want to wear. Pins, small ornaments (such as butterfly or flower accent pieces), and soft colors are the better accessories to choose from. Of course, the color of the hair also plays a role as to the accessories you choose. The lighter the hair, the darker the accessories which must be worn, and vice-a-versa for the darker hair styles.

Braids are being used to create some very romantic hairstyles for brides with long hair. We are not talking about two perfect braids, nor the ubiquitous French braids of the 1980s. These braids are not prim or schoolgirlish; they are flirty, soft, and vintage inspired. One long loose braid in the back is one pretty option for wedding hair. Even more interesting are the intricate knots and buns that stylists are creating by twisting braids together at the nape of the neck. For your hair bridal jewelry, finish off the look with a scattering of beautiful crystal or pearl pins tucked into the knot.

wedding hairstyles with veil

Brides with short hair will have a different set of considerations. You may well end up wearing your hair in its everyday style, if you have a short haircut tailored to a specific look. It is still worthwhile to have your hair professionally styled on the day of your wedding to make sure it looks its absolute best. Besides, hairstylists have tricks that can add volume to even the shortest haircut or give a perfect sleek finish to styles like modern bobs. When you have less hair, a single layer veil looks the best, as too much fullness will be overwhelming. Anchoring a veil in short hair can be tricky, but if you select a double headband as your bridal hairpiece, it will be much easier. The comb of the veil can be nestled between the two bands of the headband to prevent the veil from sliding down the back of your head.

For a 2010 wedding updo that doesn't involve a lot of fuss, an updo with structured curls looks beautiful plain or with a few hair adornments. To create this look, long to medium-length hair is pulled back into a ponytail and the excess hair is curled with a large curling iron. The curls are then pinned and strategically placed for a look that has volume and control. This bridal updo goes well with a tiara or a traditional veil that's either placed at the top of the updo or cascades from the bottom of it.

Have you seen a center parted hairstyle? You may think it looks a bit severe. A side-parted hairstyle is a style that can flatter most of the various shaped faces. You can add up some chic chignon and play it with some jewels for a definite style that would not only be elegant and sophisticated, but also timeless.

If you want to look like a princess on your wedding day, and are thinking that wearing a crown is quite uncomfortable for you, then have your worries melt away because you do not need a crown. You can use some bobby pins and then stud up your sleek hairdo by putting on a few eye-catching crystal hair vines to have an out of the ordinary tiara effect.

The key element to creating the Bollywood effect is sculpting the face with heavy contouring. The contouring will create that dramatic look which most brides' desire. The eyes will be the center of attraction, with heavy, deep, coloring shadows, sometimes smoked for an evening ceremony. One of the important aspects to getting the eyes perfect is to make sure the eyes are lined with a good thick black liner finished off with dramatic eye lashes.

Thus, when choosing the beach as venue for your wedding, consider the weather situation and decide on a hairstyle that is more appropriate for the beach, but one that will still make you look stunning on your special day.

Go for the unusual. Brides are often seen donning long, flowing hair with soft curls framing the face. One way to make your day extra fun is if you don't follow convention. Short hairs are not often seen during wedding ceremonies, so have your hair cut in a style that further emphasizes your face and neck rather than the gown. Wear a diamond-studded headpiece to complete the chic look.

One of the most popular short hairstyles that are still being sported is the Afro. Like many other short hairstyles it is an easy, low maintenance style since there is no need for chemicals. This style has evolved from the days when it was perfectly rounded and pulled out from the head with a pick. In our modern era, an Afro is simply any length of hair that is in its natural state. It can be cared for with a pick or with your fingers.

If you are adding hairpieces be careful not to overdo it. Don't forget that you are wearing a veil. All eyes will be on you, so don't give them more to talk about. Don't feel the need to add extra pieces of hair when it's not necessary. Why style your hair to make it look like a sky scraper or a bird's nest??

wedding hairstyles for medium hair

Medium hair works in a wide array of wedding hairstyles easily. This length falls right around the shoulders, and looks beautiful with a loose braid or two woven through the front. Another very trendy look is to weave in a loosely braided headband. Ashley Simpson is just one celeb who has sported this super sexy look in recent months. Starting with a deep part to one side, grab a small section of hair and begin braiding loosely across the forehead. Medium length hair can keep going once you have reached the side of the head opposite from where your braid started, and end at the back of the head in a loose chignon for extra panache. Again, pull out some loose pieces of hair and insert a few fresh flowers or some bling.

Soft curls can be created to make a romantic wedding hairstyles with long hair. Loosely pinned curls and waves are soft and feminine for an "undone" updo. Or pull back the front of your hair, and allow cascades of soft curls to flow down over your shoulders. One caution: this style can quickly turn into a frizzy mass on a humid day, so it is a bridal hairdo best reserved for indoor or cool weather weddings.

wedding hairstyles for medium length hair

One of the most popular wedding hairstyles for brides with medium length hair is the half up look. In this hairdo, the stylist will pull the front of the bride's hair back, and leave the rest flowing down. This look tends to work well for any formality of wedding. Having the hair shaped into a definitive style makes it polished enough for a more formal wedding, but having some of the hair left soft and flowing makes the half up style feel feminine and un-stuffy, as well. It is the best of both worlds.

A basket weave is a more intricate wedding hair style. Doing this hair style might need more time but it's definitely worth it. Hair would be styled with slim single braids that are woven tightly on the crown of the head in a crisscross pattern. For longer hair, the remaining strands can be pulled into some more braids which can be done as a unique twist, or a curl for a gently soft wave.

What can be more elegant than an up-do? This is one of the most common black wedding hair styles, opted by many as it is clean and easily controlled.

Long hair can be curled into simple waves that flow freely down the bride's back. This simple, youthful and fun look can be achieved by parting the hair straight down the middle, or to the left or to the right, and curling sections of hair with a 1 inch curling iron. Then pin the hair in place, spray with your favorite long-lasting hairspray, and wait for it to dry.

Once it's dry, let your hair down and gently pull and massage the hair until it forms the gentle waves you're looking for. This sweet hairdo is as cute as it is comfortable, and it makes for a muss-free wedding reception as the bride won't need to spend time coddling an intricate updo.

Third, you should make a list of styles that you must avoid. These hairstyles will usually make the face appear longer. Some of the hairstyles to avoid are those that are too short and too long. The length of the hairstyle should not appear like an army cut. Think how Kristian Alfonso would look like if she chooses to wear a skull-capping haircut. It would be disastrous because she has a long face. But the length of the hairstyle should not go beyond the bust line. Sarah Jessica Parker tried growing her hair at that length and the result was horrendous. She quickly rectified that mistake by shortening the length of her hair.

A loyal fan may disagree with this observation and may believe that Sarah Jessica Parker can do no wrong when it comes to hairstyles. But if two pictures of her are placed side by side, one with hair extensions going beyond the bust line and the other with the hair length just brushing the shoulders, it is easy to realize that the latter hairstyle looks significantly more attractive than the former.

The bride and the groom have to pay special attention to their hairstyle on their wedding day. While a major part of the bride's head is covered under the veil, these days the veils are sheer enough to give the guests a good view of her hair and her hairstyle. Elegantly wound buns with little tendrils trailing the throat are amongst the most popular bridal hairstyles this wedding season.

Indian Wedding Fashion dictates that the groom has to sport the hairstyle that suits him the best. He should make a point to shave on his wedding day because a stubble look is definitely no-no for such an important day.

Even if you don't, here are some pointers: A long, thin face will look more so with a long, straight 'do, and ears that stick out a tad too far will be accentuated by a pulled back 'do. Along those lines, don't attempt a look that isn't you just because it's your wedding. Remember - your goal should be to look like your best version of you, not someone else.

Gisele Bundchen's beauty tip

2011-08-28T07:25:00.000-07:00

DYO (do your own) eyelash curler

Beauty tip: if you have short eyelashes and you don’t have an eyelash curler, you can slightly heat a tea spoon in hot water and with your thumb press the eyelashes against the hollow of the spoon. The result is a curved eyelash. Do you like this tip? Then share it.

Alessandra Ambrosio maxi dress inspiration

2011-08-28T07:18:00.000-07:00

Aless wearing the greyish maxi dress is from Aug 23, when she met up with her friend in Beverly Hills for a lunch.

And in the blue dress that is from Aug 25, also meeting up with her friends but this time to go shopping.

I love how well put together she is in the grey(ish) dress with the accessories and the sun just hits her perfectly and so I prefer that dress even thought the blue dress alone would probably look cuter.

Which outfit do you like and why?

What have I not done for a while?... Posted a Candy Tweet!!...so here you go :)
