Did you know???
Hair is actually dead material when it leaves it's root - otherwise it would hurt very much when your hairdresser works with his scissor.
On a normal scalp there are about 100-150 thousand hair fibers.
A blonde head of hair has usually much more fibers than red or dark haired heads.
Hair consists mainly of keratin, which is also responsible for the elasticity of fingernails.
A single hair has a thickness of 0.02-0.04mm, so that 20-50 hair fibers next to each other make one millimeter.
Hair is strong as a wire of iron. It rips after applying a force equivalent to 132lbs or after it stretched itself for about 70%.
The root of a hair fiber sticks in a bag in the skin. The fiber is pushed out of this bag about 0.35mm per day, making an average growth rate of half of an inch, per month. The growth rate is however very much related to the individual person, his age, his diet etc.
Healthy hair has an average lifetime of 2-6 years.
After a rest period of three months the single hair falls out, and a new fiber starts to grow out of the bag.
The lifetime depends on circumstances and person, too. The lifetime of hair is responsible for the maximum of hair length you can have. Waist length hair takes about 6 years to grow out from a short hair cut, periodic trims included. If your hair has a lifecyle of 2 years, you will never achieve a nice waist length mane.

New Skin treatment system
today I bought Christi Harris Skin Treatment system, by following a daily regimine, I will have normal skin in just twenty eight days, that would be May 12th.
Day 1.
a) Cleansing: in circular motion, massage quarter size amount over entire face. Rinse with cool, wet washcloth. (make small mess with water)
b) Exfoliant: In a circular motion massage over entire face, including eye area. Rinse with cool water.(get small amount in eye causing sudden spasm when rinsing because you think surely this will cause blindness, make a bigger mess with water)
c) Moisture: in circular motion, massage over face,eyes, lips & neck.( chase bottle on countertop because of all the water)
d) Night creme: with a pea size amount apply very thin layer over face and neck.(put glasses on to make sure you get the right product, figure out how to get the lid off with moisturized fingers,try to decide how much is actually pea sized)
e) Eye cream: warm a pea sized amount between fingertips & pat over entire eye area, or once weekly apply to face and neck for intensive treatment. ( pea sized amount disappears but remains sticky,go back for more, poke yourself in eye while applying )
After cleaning up the mess I made I thought I'll check for stray eyebrows, note to self- check that first because you can't get them after your face is done!
All in all, I think it will work, as long as my dogs don't try to lick it off while I sleep!

Why is your hair frizzy?
Do you have frizzy unmanageable hair? It may be because you have inherited curly, wavy, or frizzy from your parents i.e., it comes with your genes. Or your hair has become frizzy or poofy because of being exposed to hot sunny weather (humidity) for a long time. It may also be because of too much of blow drying, perming or treating often with chemicals such as alkaline permanents or with bleach. Or Maybe you live in Houston.
Let's face it, there is a lot of humidity in Houston. Here are some tips for maintaining your hairstyle.
1.Work with it. If your hair normally has curl or wave to it, it will become more curly when the humidity is high. Consider going with a layered style that accentuates curls.
2.Wear your hair longer during humid months. The extra weight of the hair will keep it from puffing out as much.
3.Use humidity-resistant or anti-frizz hair care products in everything from shampoo to hair spray
.
4.Wear your hair in a ponytail or bun.
5. If you can't seem to tame the curl or frizz consider getting it professionally straightened.

styles for your face shape
- Square faces are softened with graduated layers, choppy ends, soft curls and a full crown of styled hair.
- Heart-shaped faces look great with layered bobs that flip outward at chin level. Side parts, wispy bangs and styled volume also work well with this face shape.
- Rectangular faces look great with fullness around the sides, and avoid going below shoulder-length, as it elongates the face even more. A chin-length bob with bangs will help the face look fuller.
- Triangular face shapes may benefit from a tapered style that will draw attention away from a dominant jaw line. Off-center parting is a great way to accent this cut and shape.
- Round faces look ideal with height at the crown to slim and soften the face. Avoid extremely short, cropped cuts and opt for some face-framing layers on a chin-length hair cut.
- Diamond shapes will do great with short hair. Layered styles that sit just above the neck look fabulous, as well as angled bangs to soften wide cheekbones.
- Oval faces can look great with just about any style; layers will help draw attention to your best features.
