I want a sew in but I have short hair with a shaved back. How many packs of ocean wave remy hair do I need?
Answer
Save your money, doing it yourself or the salon, I still DO NOT recommend them.
Getting extensions are not that easy, like buying shoes. AND if you have problem styling your own hair, add hair extensions to the formula, it will be even harder to style when you have them.
People waste tons of money on extensions because it's the new trend. Without doing much research.
HAIR WEAVES & BRAIDS: Some hairstyles, including tight braids and weaves, may increase the risk of developing an irreversible form of scarring hair loss, according to a new study in the Archives of Dermatology.
Seen predominately in African-American women, this type of hair loss, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, centers on the vertex (crown) of the scalp and spreads peripherally.
âAny style that causes too much tension and traction on the hair, such as braiding with artificial hair weaved in, can possibly lead to scarring hair loss,â says study author Angela Kyei, MD, a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.
In the study, 326 African-American women answered questionnaires about their hair-grooming methods, health status, and other demographic information. Dermatologists then performed a scalp examination to grade hair loss.
Nearly 60% of the women showed signs of advanced central hair loss with scarring. The women were also more likely to have type 2 diabetes and bacterial scalp infections, and sport hair styles associated with traction, including braids and weaves, the study showed.
âBut hair loss is permanent, meaning that we can inject steroids or creams but it won't bring your hair back, so itâs very important to seek help with dermatologists early on,â she says.
EXAMPLES OF WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT their HAIR EXTENSIONS
well on friday i got synthetic extensions, and they dont curl very well, so i was wondering if i plaited them and left them over night would they go crinkly and mix in with my real hair
because theyre fake i dont know if i can actually style them very well, which is annoying!
+they are starting too get ratty, any tips on how to take care of them ?
thanks!
And another ex:
I have sewn in hair extensions. My natural hair is neck-length, and these extensions are down to my chest. They're sewn in (if you didn't already know) with black tracks, while the hair is my natural hair colour: brown. But I want to have it up in a high-ish ponytail. But, obviously, the tracks are really obvious. How can I make them less obvious?
I hate having to have my hair down all the time. I've always wanted it, but now I'm getting bored. :/
One more ex:
I removed my hair extensions yesterday after 4 months. My hair is really thin does any1 no any good products to thicken it?
And another ex:
i bought 100 dollars clip in 100% human hair extensions and it hurts and pulls my hair. u shud just wait til it grows out. my hair was real short and i wanted extensions real bad and now i feel bad wasting 100 bucks on that where i cud of spent it on clothes or sumother beauty thing. ur not going to wear them after a while cuz u get annoyed having to keep clipping them in and all or whateever kind of extensions ur getting.
Another extensions, hers cost $600:
I got the pure extensions on Thursday their the ones the get put in your using a little barrel and clamping it shut . My coworker put them in as kind of practice since were both new to it but now they are hurting me really bad I have thick hair so she put a lot of rows in and the back of my head is so sore ! I want to take them out but don't want to because I spent 600 dollars on them . Is this normal or did she maybe put them in rong ?
This one says it all:
i have had hair extensions done in a hairdressers in melton mowbray 3weeks ago. i have been told they are 100% real hair but they look terrible,it looks like i have been back-combing it. if i curl them it just goes frizzy and if i straighten them it also goes very frizzy with the back-coming look. i have bought all the products that was advised and i have looked after them the way i was told to. i have had hair extensions before and they were lovely, i had no problems. i have been back 2 times to the hairdressers for help and advise and i was told that the hair is rubbing on my shoulders which is giving the back-combing look (my shoulders are not that big). i am now asking for my money back and the hair taken out but they are refusing. i have spoke to the hairdressing federation and they told me to call trading standards, they said to get them tested but i do not know where to send them. thanks for any help.

What is the importance of the consideration of culture?

What is the importance of the consideration of culture?
Answer
Culture is a central component of cross-culturally competent evaluations, yet rarely is it defined. Evaluators with little or no proï¬ciency in cross-cultural competency tend to use the term interchangeably with race and ethnicity. Consequently, they may ignore the cultures of people of a certain sexual orientation, generation, income level or religion
Culture comes in many forms and shapes that are constantly evolving. One way of thinking about culture is as âan iceberg sticking out of the ocean.â At the tip of the iceberg, visible above sea level, are relatively obvious forms of culture, such as music, dance, food, clothing, language, skin color, celebrations and art. These forms are more easily recognized and understood by someone outside the culture. They produce few misunderstandings between people in and outside the culture.
Right beneath the sea level are less obvious forms of culture, such as religion, history, rituals related to birth and death, social class, concepts of beauty, patterns of superior and subordinate relationships, rites of passage, body language and use of leisure time. These forms may become apparent to the outsider who asks the right questions, listens carefully and pays close attention to non-verbal cues. If misunderstood, negative feelings between people in and outside the culture could result.
Even deeper in the ocean are forms of culture that require extensive inquiry and observation for the outsider to understand, such as the meaning of community, concept of space and time, logic, notions of leadership, patterns of decisionmaking, beliefs about health, help-seeking behavior,notions of individualism versus collectivism, attitudes toward the elderly and approaches to problem-solving. These manifestations of culture are typically learned through modeling, usually at an early age. When the norms are violated, they could seriously harm relationships and cause adverse consequences for the people involved.

Any secrets on how to reduce the circles under my eyes?
Labels:

beauty and health central image
Q. I am looking for some secrets as to how to reduce the "bags" under my eyes. Probably some more sleep and less stress would do it, but thats probably not going to happen anytime soon so instead I need an aide.
Answer
You need a sensitive skin anti-aging eye cream on the skin around the eyes; it being the most sensitive part of the skin throughout the body.
Also known as sleep masks, eye masks are used to block out all light around eyes in order to have a good sleep anytime of the day.
Both - an anti aging eye cream or an anti wrinkle eye cream as well as cosmetic eye surgery - deal with the problem in a cosmetic way only and not at the level of providing beauty through health to the eye.
But there is another way that not only lifts-up the drooping eyelids, removes the excess eyelid skin along with the excess fat-tissue, removes dark under eye circles, and turns back the eyelids that have gone turned-in or turned-out; but also gets a total face-lift for you without going for an anti aging eye cream or an anti wrinkle eye cream, or any surgical procedure!
The central fixation of the eye - the opening of the third eye!

How are compassion and non-violence central to Buddhism?
bee
For a project. Answer ASAP please.
Thankyou in advance.
Answer
1. The practice of loving-kindness, compassion, altrustic joy and equanimity ("Brahma-vihara" or "four divine states of dwelling"/"Four Perfect Virtues) is essential to Buddhism.
According to the Buddhist method, training oneself comes first. Individual perfection must be first, so that the organic whole may be perfect. The state of the outer world is a reflection of our inner selves.
If a person cannot be right with himself, he cannot be right with others. A doctor without the required qualifications may try to help patients but he may do harm instead. Only an engineer who first perfects himself in his trade can produce perfect work because he has perfected his training first.
Buddhist cultivates such metta (loving kindness), karuna (compassion), mudita (sympathetic joy) and upekkha (equanimity) through meditation. These four states inter-relate and support each other. Without such practices one not only tends to fail in social and personal relationships but is also at a great disadvantage when involved in spiritual practice.
In the words of the Buddha, Metta means a great deal more than loving-kindness, harmlessness (Ahimsa), sympathy. Metta is benevolence toward all beings, without discrimination or selfish attachment.
According to the Metta Sutta, a Buddhist should cultivate for all beings the same love a mother would feel for her child. This love does not discriminate between benevolent people and malicious people.
By practicing metta, a Buddhist overcomes anger, ill will, hatred and aversion.
It is a love in which"I" and "you" disappear, and where there is no possessor and nothing to possess. It is also useful to build up the required concentration base for the development of insight, because with metta, our mind concentrates rapidly.
Karuna refers to active sympathy and gentle affection, a willingness to bear the pain of others, and possibly pity.
Mudita is taking sympathetic or altruistic joy in the happiness of others. The cultivation of mudita is an antidote to envy and jealousy.
Upekkha is a mind in balance, free of discrimination and rooted in insight. This balance is not indifference, but active mindfulness. Because it is rooted in insight of anatman, it is not unbalanced by the passions of attraction and aversion.
2. In the discourse to Subha, the Buddha answers questions posed to him as to the reasons for long life and so forth. From the answers, we find that the kammic results that lead to long life, good health, beauty, following, wealth, noble birth can be attributed to acts connected with loving kindness, compassion and sympathetic joy.
If you treat the world properly, kindly, the world will treat you kindly. We should not expect other persons to treat us kindly first, but we should start by ourselves treating them kindly.
3. Loving kindness and equanimity are also part of PÄramitÄ or PÄramÄ« ( means "Perfect" or "Perfection"), refer to the perfection or culmination of certain virtues as a way of purification, purifying karma and helping the aspirant to live an unobstructed life, while reaching the goal of Enlightenment.
In the Pali Canon's Buddhavamsa the Ten Perfections (dasa pÄramiyo) are :
1. DÄna parami : generosity, giving of oneself
2. SÄ«la parami : virtue, morality, proper conduct
3. Nekkhamma parami : renunciation
4. PaÃ±Ã±Ä parami : transcendental wisdom, insight
5. Viriya (also spelt vīriya) parami : energy, diligence, vigour, effort
6. Khanti parami : patience, tolerance, forbearance, acceptance, endurance
7. Sacca parami : truthfulness, honesty
8. Adhiá¹á¹hÄna (adhitthana) parami : determination, resolution
9. MettÄ parami : loving-kindness
10. UpekkhÄ parami : equanimity, serenity.

What do people outside of Mississippi think of the state?
Labels:

beauty and health central image
Glamor Chi
I'm actually from Mississippi; born and raised. I've been told that allot of people OUTSIDE of Mississippi think very low of it. Is that actually true? I don't know; so I'm doing a survey on what people think of Mississippi overall. What do you think about the state?
Answer
My opinion? (This is a long one, so grab some popcorn)
Mississippi is a BEAUTIFUL state as far as nature. The parks, the wildlife, the wetlands, the rolling fields, its gorgeous. Mississippi was also my first exposure to large populations of successful, educated, upwardly mobile Black people, as I attended Jackson State and made my rounds through sorority life, social and arts culture of Mississippi. I love that many people there support small locally owned businesses, and think the town squares of Canton, Clinton,Oxford, Vicksburg, and Port Gibson are adorably quaint. Your colleges have the best marching bands (Sonic Boom graduate!), the weather is fantastic, your restaurants have the best food, and there is something to be said for southern hospitality when invited into a Mississippi home.
As regards RACE RELATIONS, however, the state is lacking. Jackson is 70% black, but the public school system is 96% white. Which tells me two things. 1.)White persons STILL have no desire to school their children along with Blacks and 2.)White people make a substantial amount of money more than Black people in Mississippi if all but 4% of them can afford to send their children to private school (in other words, the vast majority of the White households have $17000 to spare every year.). American music was BORN in Mississippi, and is still churning out good musicians like Cassandra Williams, David Banner, Big K.R.I.T, Eddie Cotton, Faith Hill, and so forth, but very few who acquire fame claim their home state, or use their newfound wealth to improve the state. I'm sure you've been to Jackson. Farish District used to be equivalent to Beale Street in Memphis and Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Black people stopped using cooperative economics and let that part of the city decay, while pouring their money into surrounding White towns that want nothing to do with them instead of building their own businesses and real estate. Its just NOW getting revitalized, and it took outside funding to do that. And Y'all roads SUCK for traffic tickets and car tags to be so expensive. And all that beauty came with a price: your lovely Ross Barnett Reservoire was built by a racist 1950s governor who viciously secured millions of acres of property of poor whites and blacks at a fraction of the price through imminent domain laws a'la Central Park in New York. And they are still using vagrancy laws to a degree to have free labor in the Governor's mansion (those convicted and serving misdemeanor charges do the maintenance, cooking, lawncare, cleaning, and laundry of the Governor's mansion today...which is ALWAYS young black people.)
Oh, and this SUMMER? The JAMES ANDERSON CASE of the black man who was STOMPED RUN OVER by a PICKUP TRUCK of young White Rankin County boys less than a mile from my alma mater??????? Race relations have GOT to get better. Now, I've met some cool white folks there, but most of the cool White folks I met were NOT from Mississippi; they moved there for business reasons.
It's a difficult problem to fix, though, economically. A sizeable percentage of the Whites come from families who had businesses that benefited from slavery. So thats GENERATIONS, hundreds of YEARS, of old money. When driving down the highways of I-55 and I-20 and HWY 61, you will see several large businesses that seem to be in the middle of nowhere on farmland: Letourneau Technologies, Ceres company, etc. Those companies were formed when, after the Civil War and the outlaw of Slavery, the children of slaveowners who had land inheritances and money sold some of their land and used the money to start companies. Its like, if you owned a McDonalds and had 15 people working for you, on sunup-to-sundown shifts, and you didn't have to pay them hourly wages, just gave them Spartan room,board,and health insurance. Assuming minimum wage is $8/hr, and the shift is 14 hours, and subtracting taxes and the obove mentioned costs, thats about $20,000 PER EMPLOYEE PER YEAR that you can just put in the BANK to acrue interests for you children. Add that up for some decades, and you see why the problem is so bad.
Short answer? Your state is beautiful, but has some f_cked up people in it (and some big @$$ insects. WTF is a flying cockroach, and why are your spiders the size of my palm? lol). I'll be back for Homecoming!

Can you swim with a sew in weave without your hair getting messed up?
Chica
For spring break i'm going on vacation. I want to swim but whenever i swim with my natural hair, it always gets puffy and weird looking. So i have a question. My hair is about midway down my back so i guess that's about medium length. If i got a sew in, could i swim in it without my hair showing through the weave? and what could i do to take care of it afterwards. Also is my hair too long to get one?
Answer
Hair extensions, clip on, sewn or glued, are to be treated like hair accessories because THEY ARE.
Anything you do to them, can get damaged, and once they're damaged & discolored (by chemicals or heating tools), you can't repair them like clothes. The hair on your head are connected to a living person, they can be repaired, but it takes months to get them back to normal. With your hair extensions, you'll have to buy a new one. I also suggest, don't keep your hair extensions on too long, they weaken your hair causes them to get thinNER.
EXAMPLES OF WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT their HAIR EXTENSIONS
I have sewn in hair extensions. My natural hair is neck-length, and these extensions are down to my chest. They're sewn in (if you didn't already know) with black tracks, while the hair is my natural hair colour: brown. But I want to have it up in a high-ish ponytail. But, obviously, the tracks are really obvious. How can I make them less obvious?
I hate having to have my hair down all the time. I've always wanted it, but now I'm getting bored. :/
One more ex:
I removed my hair extensions yesterday after 4 months. My hair is really thin does any1 no any good products to thicken it?
And another ex:
i bought 100 dollars clip in 100% human hair extensions and it hurts and pulls my hair. u shud just wait til it grows out. my hair was real short and i wanted extensions real bad and now i feel bad wasting 100 bucks on that where i cud of spent it on clothes or sumother beauty thing. ur not going to wear them after a while cuz u get annoyed having to keep clipping them in and all or whateever kind of extensions ur getting.
Another extensions, hers cost $600:
I got the pure extensions on Thursday their the ones the get put in your using a little barrel and clamping it shut . My coworker put them in as kind of practice since were both new to it but now they are hurting me really bad I have thick hair so she put a lot of rows in and the back of my head is so sore ! I want to take them out but don't want to because I spent 600 dollars on them . Is this normal or did she maybe put them in rong ?
This one says it all:
i have had hair extensions done in a hairdressers in melton mowbray 3weeks ago. i have been told they are 100% real hair but they look terrible,it looks like i have been back-combing it. if i curl them it just goes frizzy and if i straighten them it also goes very frizzy with the back-coming look. i have bought all the products that was advised and i have looked after them the way i was told to. i have had hair extensions before and they were lovely, i had no problems. i have been back 2 times to the hairdressers for help and advise and i was told that the hair is rubbing on my shoulders which is giving the back-combing look (my shoulders are not that big). i am now asking for my money back and the hair taken out but they are refusing. i have spoke to the hairdressing federation and they told me to call trading standards, they said to get them tested but i do not know where to send them. thanks for any help.

HAIR WEAVES & BRAIDS: Some hairstyles, including tight braids and weaves, may increase the risk of developing an irreversible form of scarring hair loss, according to a new study in the Archives of Dermatology.
Seen predominately in African-American women, this type of hair loss, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, centers on the vertex (crown) of the scalp and spreads peripherally.
âAny style that causes too much tension and traction on the hair, such as braiding with artificial hair weaved in, can possibly lead to scarring hair loss,â says study author Angela Kyei, MD, a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.
In the study, 326 African-American women answered questionnaires about their hair-grooming methods, health status, and other demographic information. Dermatologists then performed a scalp examination to grade hair loss.
Nearly 60% of the women showed signs of advanced central hair loss with scarring. The women were also more likely to have type 2 diabetes and bacterial scalp infections, and sport hair styles associated with traction, including braids and weaves, the study showed.
âBut hair loss is permanent, meaning that we can inject steroids or creams but it won't bring your hair back, so itâs very important to seek help with dermatologists early on,â she says.
One example who just got a weave:
"okay , i got it done exactly a week ago . it was ripple deep curls . now , it's A MESS . no curls at ALL . and then i have school tomorrow , how can i fix it and make the curls come back ?"
'Whip My Hair' Singer Willow Smith Shaves Head
The 11-year-old daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith can no longer whip her hair back and forth.
Hair extensions, clip on, sewn or glued, are to be treated like hair accessories because THEY ARE.
Anything you do to them, can get damaged, and once they're damaged & discolored (by chemicals or heating tools), you can't repair them like clothes. The hair on your head are connected to a living person, they can be repaired, but it takes months to get them back to normal. With your hair extensions, you'll have to buy a new one. I also suggest, don't keep your hair extensions on too long, they weaken your hair causes them to get thinNER.
EXAMPLES OF WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT their HAIR EXTENSIONS
I have sewn in hair extensions. My natural hair is neck-length, and these extensions are down to my chest. They're sewn in (if you didn't already know) with black tracks, while the hair is my natural hair colour: brown. But I want to have it up in a high-ish ponytail. But, obviously, the tracks are really obvious. How can I make them less obvious?
I hate having to have my hair down all the time. I've always wanted it, but now I'm getting bored. :/
One more ex:
I removed my hair extensions yesterday after 4 months. My hair is really thin does any1 no any good products to thicken it?
And another ex:
i bought 100 dollars clip in 100% human hair extensions and it hurts and pulls my hair. u shud just wait til it grows out. my hair was real short and i wanted extensions real bad and now i feel bad wasting 100 bucks on that where i cud of spent it on clothes or sumother beauty thing. ur not going to wear them after a while cuz u get annoyed having to keep clipping them in and all or whateever kind of extensions ur getting.

My coworker put them in as kind of practice since were both new to it but now they are hurting me really bad I have thick hair so she put a lot of rows in and the back of my head is so sore ! I want to take them out but don't want to because I spent 600 dollars on them . Is this normal or did she maybe put them in rong ?
