Why Do Hairstylists Choose Tape-In Hair Extensions?

If you are new to hair extensions and trying to select the best type, doesn’t it make sense to go with the method preferred by a majority of hair stylists? There are a number of reasons why tape-in type hair extensions are the method chosen time and time again by professional hairstylists. Here are just a few of those reasons.

 

  1. The application is easy. Tape-in hair extensions are easy to install. There are no tools required, except perhaps one-sided tape (more about this later). The tape-in hair extensions come in different sizes and lengths for a perfect application. Narrower pieces can be used to fill in around the hairline where the natural hair is finer and thinner; these smaller pieces can also be added to the crown for invisible addition of volume and fullness. The application is painless and takes less time than many other hair extension methods.
  2. The cost is lower than other methods. When purchasing hair extensions, cost is always a factor. With tape-in extensions you get more for your money. Why? The tape-in extensions have the unique characteristic of flexibility in the application. They can be applied by using two of the pieces per section of natural hair for a bulkier look and feel; they can also be used in single pieces per section of natural hair, and sealed off with one-sided tape. This effectively doubles the use of the hair that you buy, leaving you with extra for future applications. It also allows you to spread the hair out more evenly over the head for a very natural look and feel. When you have them installed professionally, it doesn’t take your stylist as long to put them in, which also saves you money.
  3. They are the least damaging method. Tape-in hair extensions, when taken care of properly, cause virtually no damage to the natural hair. Normal shedding continues to occur during wear of any hair extension, so don’t panic when they are removed and you see all the hair that was shed that couldn’t get out because of the extensions. You will see that your own natural hair is still very much intact. The way to make sure to get the least damage out of this or any hair extension method is to maintain them properly during wear. We will cover those points at the end of this article.
  4. Tape-in hair extensions are long lasting. Because the tape-in hair extensions sit very flat to the head, they present as a much easier way to style the hair, and they look exceptionally natural. If you are gentle in your handling of them, they will last you longer than other methods. As with any other hair extension application, care should be taken when using hot tools and in detangling them.
  5. Tape-in extensions are more comfortable. The tape-in method of hair extensions is very comfortable to wear. You hardly feel like you have them on! The tape itself is very fine, it is color matched at the top so it goes completely undetected, and there are no bumps and bulges to annoy you. They are comfortable to sleep in, and no one needs to know you’re wearing them if you don’t want them to! They are especially suited for fine and/or thin hair, as they are well hidden.
  6. There are many color options to choose from. Tape-in hair extensions are quite versatile in the colors you can choose. You can add lighter pieces for a highlighted look; you can choose Ombre options in any color you like; you can add fun colors for a special event; there are many ways to customize color with the tape-in method. As a result, you will save time, money and damage to your natural hair by using the extensions to explore your color desires! Gone are the days of having to color your hair, only to damage it further when you want to change colors. With the tape-ins you’ll never get bored with your color.

Use this handy checklist to make your tape-in hair extension experience the best it can be:

 

  • Talk with your stylist about tape-in extensions and their advantages
  • Consult on the color option that works best for you, have fun with it!
  • Determine what length of hair extensions will suit you best, consider purchasing a bit longer than you want, to allow for trimming the hair
  • Consider going with the single-sided tape application, as this will automatically double the amount of hair you buy, and will give you better coverage of hair on your head
  • Have your natural hair colored first if you want to match the extensions to it. It’s not advisable nor necessary to color the hair extensions, as there are many colors available. If the color doesn’t work out right, you’ve lost your money; hair extensions cannot be returned if colored.
  • Take care when brushing or combing the extensions, don’t pull or rip at them. Hold hair at the top and work downward.
  • Use the proper shampoo and conditioner recommended by your stylist. While conditioner is on in the shower, comb through the hair thoroughly before rinsing.
  • Never sleep in wet hair unless it is pulled into a firm pony tail or braid. Doing otherwise can knot the hair and make it painful and/or impossible to get out.
  • Take care with hot tools, especially at the top where the tape is applied. Too much heat can dry out and damage the tape area, causing the extensions to release/slip. Use protective products to guard against heat damage from irons and other hot tools.
  • Don’t wait too long to get back to your stylist for a re-application. Letting extensions go too long in between visits is a no-no. Not only do they start to look bad, they can do unnecessary damage to your natural hair by tangling and/or matting. Consult with your stylist on the expected time frame for re-application. Much of this depends on how fast your hair grows and how well you maintain the extensions in between salon visits.

 

If you do your homework and get the tape-in extensions that are right for you in color, length and density, you will be most pleased with this type of extension. Cheers to your new look!!

15 Doctor Recommended “To Do’s” to Fight the Flu

 

As we head into flu season there are many things we can do to “flu proof” ourselves. Regardless of whether you choose to get a flu vaccine or not, there are things we can do to heighten our chances of not getting sick this winter. Dr. Christopher Calapai, a New York based Osteopathic Physician board certified in family medicine, and anti-aging medicine provided us with a comprehensive list of 15 to do’s to fight the flu.

 

  1. Keep your surroundings clean, wipe surfaces at work, keep your cell phone clean. According to the CDC viruses can survive on a surface for up to 8 hours

 

  1. Wash your hands frequentlyand use a hand sanitizer. Remember the workplace and public spaces are a hotbed for germs. This is where the hand washing comes into play.

 

  1. Increase intake of vitamin D, C, E and A.Include foods such as red bell peppers (add to salads), sweet potatoes, chicken soup, salmon and garlic. Research shows that keeping vitamin D levels at 80 ng/ml or so decreases the risk of catching the flu and swine flu.

 

  1. Bring your own lunchto work where you can control food prep and ensure surfaces are clean.

 

  1. Get a full night’s sleep.When you feel run down you’re more susceptible to illness.

 

  1. Work from homewhen feeling sick. These days it’s easier for people to work from home at the slightest signs of cold or flu.

 

  1. Eat kimchi!It’s delicious and a great probiotic which boost immunity.

 

  1. Add mushrooms to your meal.Packed with selenium they’re an immunity booster.

 

  1. Sip green or black tearich in polyphenols and flavonoids which ward off illness as well as L-theanine,

an immunity boosting amino acid. Green and black tea are also packed with polyphenols and flavonoids.

 

  1. Munch on sweet potato frieswhich are high in vitamin which helps us fight off bacteria and viruses.

 

  1. Don’t touch your face especially the eyes.The average person touches their face around 15 times

per hour! It’s something we do unconsciously so if we can be more aware of face touching the more we can stop.

 

  1. Soup it up!Chicken veggie noodle or ginger garlic soup fights flu and sinus infection.

 

  1. Exercise regularly!Doing 30 minutes of moderate cardio per day is optimal to enhance the performance of infection fighting white blood cells.

 

  1. Go hands free on the smartphone.When we put our phones down and then pick them up or touch them this is where viruses can spread. Using earbuds and cleaning the phone with a devise friendly cleaner will help.

 

  1. Lose the booze.You really want to cut back on alcohol consumption during flu season. It dehydrates us and lowers our immunity so our ability to fight off virus is impaired.

Natural Hair Growth – The Do’s and Don’ts

Frizz-free strands, soft, shiny hair and clean-cut ends are the tell-tale signs of healthy hair. No matter the colour, texture or length of your hair, it is vital you maintain the health of it to prevent any damage. Sometimes it may be difficult to take care; our day-to-day activities means we are outdoors in varying weather conditions and blow dryers and straighteners provide us with a quick styling fix. But don’t worry as these simple steps are here to support you on your hair care journey.

Let’s begin with what you should be doing to help you achieve a healthy head of hair!

Oils

Natural oils are a great way to add moisture and shine to your locks. When massaged into the hair, the oils can help nourish the scalp towards healthy growth. It’s best to find out which oils are best for your hair type and how it will Argan oil is well known to help tame dry, frizzy hair, whilst Sweet Almond Oil is high in protein and is ideal for fine hair.

Science!

Achieve thick, volumizing hair with lasers. You may be wondering how on earth lasers could help support healthy hair. Discovered by Professor Endre Mester, Low Light Laser Therapy is commonly found in hair devices to help stimulate hair growth by using lasers and LEDs. The iGrow Laser is an FDA-approved laser helmet which can be worn in the comfort of your home as it aims to stimulate and strengthen hair follicles, promoting growth and allowing you to achieve thick, healthy hair.

Use protection

Notice how often women rush to find shelter or rummage through their bags for an umbrella when it begins to rain – it’s just us simply protecting our hair. But what about the time we relax in the sun. Heat damage can result in dry, brittle, straw-like strands. It is important to find serums or sprays that include SPF to help protect your hair. Also, regular trimming helps protect the cuticles from breaking.

Food

Eating a healthy, balanced diet can support you in keeping energised and physically in shape, but the right foods can also help revitalise your hair by strengthening strands and promoting hair growth. Eat fishy foods such as salmon as this contains Omega 3, great for helping get silky hair or red meats that contain iron which helps stimulate hair follicles.

If you’re feeling creative, why not whip up a protein food hair mask! Ingredients such as eggs, avocados and bananas include essential minerals and protein to help nourish your hair.

Now the things we shouldn’t do…

Don’t overwash hair

Try not to overwash your hair – aim for a maximum of 2 to 3 times a week. We produce natural oils that aim to condition and protect our hair, but if we are constantly shampooing, this strips away the oils. Always use conditioner and refrain from rinsing with hot water as this can cause damage to the cuticles, leading to breakage.

Don’t wear tight hairstyles

Sleek ponytails, braids, cornrows may look good but when worn too tightly, it can result in strands of hair breaking. Give your scalp a rest – constantly pulling the hair follicles is not only painful but may lead to hair loss. Wear your hair loosely and avoid elastic bands that grip the hair too tightly.

Don’t rely on chemicals

Overuse of chemicals can lead to lifeless locks. Whether it is bleaching your hair or using a shampoo that contains sulphate, chemicals can make the hair dry and more prone to breakage and damage. Look for natural or sulphate-free shampoos and try not to colour hair so often.

So now you’ve read through the Do’s and Don’ts on how to look after your hair and ensure it receives the care it deserves. Head to www.haircaretotal.co.uk, where you will find a great range of products that aim to nurture your hair.

5 Anti-Aging Skin Regimens

The American Academy of Dermatology refers to the natural aging process as “intrinsic aging,” and while there isn’t anything you can do about that, there is definitely something you can do about “extrinsic aging.” Your environment and lifestyle choices can greatly influence the look and feel of your skin, and ultimately speed up the appearance of wrinkles and other visible lines of aging. Ensure your skin stays as youthful as possible with these anti-aging regimens.

1. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize

It’s no secret that moisturizer revitalizes the skin, and keeps it feeling soft and smooth. Every time we wash our skin, in fact, some of the natural moisture is wiped away, and therefore it’s important to maintain moisture levels by moisturizing twice a day — once in the morning and once in the evening. During the day, you can kill two birds with one stone by using a moisturizer that also has SPF as this will protect your skin from any sun damage, and thus fights off premature aging.

2. Cleanse Your Face Everyday

Whether it’s once or twice a day, cleansing your face should become a regular routine to keep your skin clean and free of blemishes. One mistake that many women make when it comes to saving their skin from premature aging, is leaving their make-up on overnight. If you’re only going to cleanse once a day, make sure it’s in the evening before bed and is with a gentle cleanser as this will reduce irritation and increase hydration.

3. Have A Nighttime Routine

During your sleep is the ideal time for your skin to restore and energize itself — two activities that will naturally keep your skin young. Therefore, having a comprehensive nighttime routine that can involve not only cleanser and moisturizer but also possibly an eye cream and a strong serum, supports this regeneration and gives your skin the best chance to help itself.

4. Start Using An Appropriate Eye Cream

The skin around your eyes is usually where the first signs of wrinkles and lines appear, as it tends to be thinner drier and more sensitive than any other area. Try applying eye cream regularly to give this particular area the extra support it needs. Artistry by Amway just created the Artistry Supreme LX Collection which uses stem cells from the Gardenia Grandiflora flower. If you prefer natural products then this may be a great option and it comes in just a moisturizer as well.

5. Cater To Your Personal Needs

Everybody’s skin is different, and acknowledging this is important to ensuring your skin fights the signs of premature aging. Whether it’s dark circles, puffy eyes, an oily t-zone, excessive dryness, dark spots or uneven skin tone, always include products or rituals that cater to your individual needs.

Aging skin can be difficult to combat given the many internal and external factors that contribute to the health of our complexion. Try using some of these skin regimens and get in the habit of taking care of your skin so it remains glowing and youthful for as long as possible.

Change the Clocks Not Your Mood with These 5 Steps

As we prepare to switch the clocks and “fall back” this November 5, many of us may give up more than an hour of daylight. We may be giving up our good mood. Many people mark the clock change as the start of more darkness, cold weather and anxiety over holiday schedules and holiday shopping and travel. Dr. Saman Hafeez, a NYC based licensed clinical psychologist, teaching faculty member at the prestigious Columbia University Teacher’s College and the founder and Clinical Director of Comprehensive Consultation Psychological Services explains how setting the clocks back is, for many people the start the winter blues and offers tips on how not to slip into a funk.

Set a sleep regimen.

Less daylight affects our mood and the further north you go the more intense it is. Dr. Hafeez explains that around 3 million people are affected by some form of Seasonal Affective Disorder. It’s more common in women than in men and it often lingers throughout the entire winter. How to beat it? Dr. Hafeez suggests getting to bed an hour earlier and adding in some time to wind down an hour before bed. “Don’t watch the news before sleep; read a book, write in a journal or meditate. Do something that eases you into a restful state,” she says.

Change up your exercise schedule.

It’s normal for the brain to get thrown off when it gets darker earlier. Less daylight means that the motivation to get outside for that early morning jog may fade. This is normal. “It’s important that you give your brain new stimulation. Try working out after work instead of in the morning or, if possible join a work out app that brings at home exercise routines right to your phone.

Book your calendar.

The more you have to look forward to the better your mood will be. Schedule weekly dinners with family and friends. Wintertime is hibernation time so set up a family movie schedule or game nights. It’s important to have weekends booked up with fun activities to keep the mind looking forward to fun events. “Social withdrawal is common in the winter when temperatures drop. Take turns hosting dinner events and get around people,” Hafeez encourages.

Study up!

Interested in learning a new skill? Use the wintertime to take seminars, attend workshops and commit to learning something new. When you engage the part of your brain responsible for learning you’re more inspired and alert. Even listening to podcasts and participating in interesting webinars on a topic you’re interested in will increase energy, Hafeez says.

Experiment with new recipes.

When the temperatures drop and we enter hibernation mode we tend to crave more comfort foods. According to Dr. Hafeez, a great way to lift our moods and stimulate our brains is through taste. Winter is a great time to explore new foods. With so many fresh food delivery companies out there you can get pre-portioned healthy food options with step-by-step prep instruction delivered to your doorstep. “I really like this idea because it engages the senses which stimulates the brain. You’re releasing positive brain chemicals triggered by excitement, adventure, task execution and enjoyment, plus you’re eating healthy.

Camera in Focus – 6 Things to Keep in Mind When Using a Photobooth Outdoors

Photobooths are fast becoming a new trend in the age of DSLRs and hired photographers, and it’s easy to see why. A photo booth from Snappy Photobooths will set you back less than a professional photographer, won’t need to interrupt conversations for photo opportunities, and can take as many pictures as a memory bank can hold over the course of your event.

Much like a photographer, they’re available for nearly any kind of event and unlike a photographer they are not subject to late notice sick days or unexpected holidays. These monolithic machines of photography mastery will not only take your pictures, store your pictures, and look good doing it, but they’ll also provide you with props for silly shots too.

The only thing you need to keep in mind is where you put them when you’re using them outside, so to help with that one task, we’ve created a list of things to keep in mind when using a photobooth outdoors, and we believe it will help immensely.

Lighting

As everybody with a phone camera knows, outdoor lighting is different to indoor lighting, and this difference is capable of ruining a shot in no time. One problem occasionally faced by photobooths is that they take on aspects of both outdoor and indoor lighIt’s a Glam Thingting when they are used in an outdoor setting.

This is because the unit is outside where light is bouncing off every blade of grass and tree in the immediately area, and the camera is housed on the inside of the unit. Make sure when placing it that you face the entryway away from where the sun will affect it, and everything should be a-ok.

Placement

Where the unit is in your event means everything, as you want it to be obvious to everyone and clearly intended for use. In an outdoor setting, this is a little harder to do because there aren’t the familiar and predictable lines of a house or walls to guide people to it, so instead you need to find a place people will flock to anyway. The food area tends to be the best place for this, as people are naturally moving toward it at all times, and it’s usually centrally located.

Props

Props are one of the best things about photobooths, and more and more companies are providing props for photographs that are relevant to the event. A large foam pair of love-heart glasses for a wedding, several sets of devil horns for a 21st birthday party, or even a toga for a university party.

These are all great ways to liven up phthe partypeople.com, otographs and encourage people to be more silly with the photobooth, however keeping in mind what you provide to your guests is a good idea, as drunk and disorderly guests might destroy props in their merriment. This adds to your bill, which is never a nice surprise at the end of a party.

Accessibility

How accessible your photobooth is for all of your guests will directly influence how many people use it and therefore how much use you get out of it. Accessibility should also be kept in mind for differently-abled individuals, so solid ground should be present when choosing the outdoor location for your photobooth, and a ramp is suggested for ease of access.

Weatherproofing

No matter where you are, surprise rain is a thing that affects us all. The fact that a photobooth is also an electronic device means that weatherproofing the outside of it if it isn’t already weatherproof is a very good idea.

Look for anything that might let dust or water into the unit and try to shelter it. It’s important that you don’t seal up these ports, as they can be venting locations for the machine, and sealing them could result in more damage occurring.

Nature

Finally, nature being the way it is you are sure to get bugs invading your photobooth at some point during the day of your event. Whether these are tiny gnats, harmless and almost non-existent for how much trouble they cause, or wasps that stand a chance of genuinely hurting someone is up to you.

It is recommended that you put a mosquito net around the unit if your soiree is taking place near troublesome insect nests or in areas or seasons known to be rife with critters.

These tips are the best ways to prepare your photo booth for the troubles of the outside world, and with some simple preparation you can not only ensure that the machine lives to photograph another day, but that your guests have a wonderful time filling up that memory chip with funny, wonderful photographs.

Elizabeth Arden Plush Up Lip Gelato is not your grandmother’s lipstick

 

Elizabeth Arden Plush Up Lip Gelato line is a sheer, moisturizing formula that softens lips while giving them a pop of color. Lipstick is something I generally don’t gravitate towards in my
make-up purchases. It always struck me as something an older woman would wear and I wanted to avoid having a clown-mouth look, when I’ve tried it on, it always seemed like way too much. I have relatively small lips so any tiny lipstick mark outside of my lip line made me look slightly crazy and ready for a Halloween party.

The Plush Up Lip Gelato by Elizabeth Arden is not your grandmothers lipstick though. I was pleasantly surprised when I first tried it on before work, make-up remover wipe in hand ready to wipe off the mess I was about to make, and found that zero touch ups were required after one quick swipe across my top and bottom lip. The gel formula with vitamin A, E & rosemary extract glides on smoothly and conditions your lips which not only makes them appear fuller, but you don’t need to worry about it looking dry and cracked. The color is sheer, so you can easily have a
more subtle look, or build it up for a night out with another coat or two.

The colors are complimentary so you can easily mix shades for a more unique color. I tried Strawberry Sorbet and Pink Lemonade which worked nicely together for a pinky, orange hue. There are over 20 shades available, so definitely worth checking out if you want to step up your lip color game with controllable color that protects and locks in moisture.
