How To Wear Your Weave Without wrecking Your Natural Hair

Wearing a weave or extensions in your hair can give you the volume and length you long for. But then you`ll need to take extreme care to make sure they don`t break your hair or pull it out. One dermatologist once said that anyone can wear extensions and still have healthy hair.
Below is how it`s done

Prink your hair and scalp- Get your hair in good shape before adding extensions. Take a break from the weakening chemicals in curls relaxers or dyes to get a head start in avoiding breakage.
Make sure your hair is clean, well conditioned, and free of build up from dead skin cells and styling products like hair spray. These can cause dryness, flaking, and itching. If you noticed that your scalp is dry and flaky, use a medicated shampoo that contain zinc pyrithione or selenium sulfide, concentrating them on your scalp. Leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse out. Then wash once a week for like four weeks.

Make the Extension Stay Loose: Getting extensions should not be painful or cause headaches. If it does, they`re too snug. Please voice it out. Ask your stylist to loosen them before continuing. Clip-ins are the least damaging extensions because they can be removed quickly and require little to no glue or braiding. However, they can cause hair breakage if they pull or snag your hair so put them in loosely.
Never Skim On Shampooing- Shampoo at least once a week to keep your scalp at its healthiest, this reduces the build up of product used for styling you extensions and dead skin cells.

Be Careful When Taking Extensions Out
The glue used to secure hair extensions to your hair contains chemicals that can cause hair loss. If bonding glue is absolutely necessary,use bonding glue remover not only to take out the extensions, but more importantly to ensure no glue remains in the hair.
Take Precaution In order Not to overdo it- Even if they still look neat and polished, don`t wear hair extensions for more than six weeks at a time. Weaves as we know should be removed to give way for thorough cleaning of the scalp and deep conditioning of the hair.
Finally, give your hair a breathing space. Forgo extensions for few weeks while you baby your scalp to give it a break. Switch to a hair that puts less stress on your hair. Then you can put the extensions back into healthy hair.

Wearing Heels Without Pain

Good morning folks, that pain you feel at the end of a long night out, it is not a hangover and it`s not exhaustion. I`m talking about something worse_the pain caused by a seemingly evil malicious pair of high heels.

Generally, there are a few things to look out for when you`re shopping for stilettos. First, make sure the heels are of moderate proportions, not the towering Nicki Minaj variety . Save those for dinners out, where you`ll be sitting for most of the evening.
However, if you can`t let go, here are four tips for making the whole process less painful.
Shave down your heel: if you are willing to sacrifice a little height for the ability to walk through a room with ease, consider shaving down the heel. And the maximum that`s usually removed is around an inch.

Use moleskin: Also termed Second skin, moleskin is not actually animal hide but soft cotton flannel with adhesive backing. it is sold in sheets and available in mostdrug store. one can customize the shape of moleskin to cover any trouble spots you have on your feet. It molds to the shape of your feet better than bandage.
Get heels with ties or straps: You must have noticed how frustrating it is to deal with your feet slipping out of your heels the minute they leave the ground. Even worse, loose them from falling out. Heels with straps, ties or buckles over the ankle or feet offer a solution. Go for adjustable straps to accommodate swelling.

Pick a shape that affords optimal comfort: It`s amazing how much the shape of your shoe impacts the comfort. For instance, platforms cut down the distance your heels are elevated above the balls of your feet. That implies they`re not as taxing on your arch, which is especially good when you`re towering on at least three inches.

The Beauty Of Strap-shoes

Strap shoes as we know are those shoes which have a strap running vertically up the foot towards the angle of the wearer. The strap connects the part of the shoe that covers the toes or top of the foot with any part of the shoe that is nearer to the ankle. For example, a pair of the ankle strap pumps might have a t-strap running from the vamp to the ankle strap. The styles & straps can still be referred to as t-straps; Both sandals and shoes can have multiple t-straps.
This t-straps can be plain or embellished and they aren`t always made from the same material as the rest of the shoes.

choosing right type of strap shoe
The first tip is to choose ankle strap sandals that have a slight heel. Not only can ankle straps make legs look heavier, they can also make them look shorter because of the horizontal stages around the ankles to counteract this, choose sandals with a small heel that will give you back the height you lost, while also making them look slimmer. The heel doesn`t have to be huge, even a small one will work.

cchhecvhhghxcgghgjjttfddjjffddddddddddddddddvdshd
Choose styles that don`t wrap too high on the ankles. There are all types of ankle strap sandals out there, you will find some that lace way up high on the ankles and others that will strap right where the ankles meet the foots. If you have large ankles and calves, your best bet is to choose the latter and avoid ankle straps that lace too high up on the leg. Not only will these types of straps make your legs look heavier, you also run the risk of your ankle swelling after being on your feet all day.

How To Rock Wedges

Wedges are often thought to be spring and summer shoes, but depending on the kinds of materials used, they can be worn year round. They`re also often regarded as open-toed sandals, but the wedge can take on many forms like the sneaker wedge that was introduced in the early 2010. The comfort and style of a sneaker combined with the comfort of a wedge made it a very popular, although fleeting shoe trend.

Women wear heels to lengthen their legs and improve posture, but a pair of spiky stilettos can be dangerous. A wedge`s sturdy heels make it easy to balance and walk, and it also offers more arch support. Wedges are the go-to shoes for those who want height, but don`t want to sacrifice comfort.

How to Rock Wedges
You can wear wedges all year, so long as you pay attention to the material. Certain materials are made for certain seasons. Wool isn`t worn in the summer and gauze isn`t a go-to fabric in the winter. A woven, straw espadrille wedge isn`t exactly conducive to chilly winter months, but if you choose your style wisely a wedge can work in any season.

During warmer months a pair of woven straw or cork wedges looks great paired with a maxi dress, long skirt or palazzo pants. If you have a wedge that`s a bright, fun colour or print , show them off with pair of cropped pants.
Wedges made out of a deep, richly coloured suede or leather are perfect for fall and winter. pair closed-toe wedges with tights and a dress or skirt. Wedge boots are also practical, yet stylish options for navigating trickery winter weather.
P.S The wedge works with pretty much any outfit, whatever the season . Below are some of the pictures to guide you.
