Soft, Smooth and Shiny Hair in a Flash

Having soft, smooth, and shiny hair does not have to be difficult and expensive. Just follow these few simple steps and you will have beautiful and luxurious emo hair in no time.

First, brush your hair several times a day. Brushing helps remove the dirt, dust, and grime that get trapped in your hair. It also helps distribute the natural oils produced by the scalp, from the roots to the tips.

Shampoo your hair every other day and condition it everyday. Shampooing on a daily basis may strip off the natural oils that moisturize the hair. Conditioning it, on the other hand, restores lost moisture and keeps the natural oils in place.

Use cold water as much as possible when washing your hair. This seals the hair cuticles and locks the conditioner as close to the hair follicle as possible.

Give your hair a hot oil treatment once every two weeks. Mayonnaise or egg yolks can be used as an alternative to expensive salon treatments. Spread mayonnaise or egg yolks combined with olive oil all over your hair, concentrating on the ends. Cover your hair with a shower cap for 10-20 mins and then rinse well.

Eat lots of food rich in B-vitamins and proteins, like bananas, soybeans, avocados, eggs, grains, and red meat. The nutrients found in these food items are responsible for healthy and shiny hair.

Refrain from using heated styling tools and alcohol-based styling products as much as possible, as this can easily dry out your hair. If it cannot be avoided, use thermal styling tools and water-based styling products, which cause less damage to the hair.

Lastly, have your hair trimmed every six weeks to keep it in tip-top shape. This gets rid of the dry ends and keeps the rest of the hair looking good and healthy.

Tylers' Haistyling Tips

As far as what i do to style it, for the old haircut (1st pic) I used to comb it all down and straighten it in front of my face, then comb it kind of over my right eye and with the other bang to he left side and re-straighten it in its new position (thick wavy hair doesn't like to cooperate) Then for spiking out the back when the mood struck me, i'd kind of run my fingers up the back of my head and pull out the water after a shower to sort of sudo-dry it in that position already, then when straightening came i'd straighten it straight up, and finally I'd add some texturizer and run my hands up through the back and pull out ward, we have a closet in my house where you can see behind you so i'd usually use that to check for missed spots, don't add too much or it'll fall down, then usually once i got it staying nice and up I'd use the left over Texturizer on my hair to smooth it out and kind of hold it in place, my hair is thick so i'd basically pancake my bang between my palms and smoothen it out. then add a bit of hairspray to the back to hold it in place.

For my new hair I'm still experimenting The back is cut so I can spike it out But I've decided to go with wax to spike it which i'm still experimenting with (hence why i have no pictures of that) If you have really long hair i'd suggest some type of wax, simply because it has structure and seems less like lethal spikes than gel, and texturizer would barely help and you'd be holding everything up with hairspray alone otherwise. However it would be a similar idea, running your waxed fingers through you're hair and pulling outwards to make all of the hair stand up, for the front and sides, i pretty much just straighten them and add a bit of texturizer to hold them in place or Depp anti-frizz depending how staticy my hair is. For the bangs I simply straighten everything out and comb it into place so it blends nicely. once it grows a bit further i'll be able to do a fore head showing part but at the moment it doesn't work out to well.

So there is what i did for my old hair and what i do for my new haircut... theres actually a story behind my old haircut and the transitions it underwent before i got it as i liked it..then lobed half of it off lol.


Thanks!

Antique Wedding Rings

by Suta

Your bride will probably want to have ring that complements her engagement ring when you go to choose your antique wedding rings. Often, well decorated antique wedding rings may look good on but detract attention from the engagement ring so you may need to try a number of antique wedding rings to see which suits it best.

When two people say their vows to stay with each other, it is clearly symbolized in the circular form of the antique wedding ring they then place on one another's finger. There are a number of customs where presenting gifts to the engaged couple is quite normal and only ends when the wedding rings are final given with the vows. Often nowadays this older tradition is replaced by the giving of an ‘eternity' ring to show that the vows taken are forever.

It is now becoming more popular to have wedding rings engraved so if you and your partner are buying matching antique wedding rings, why not have them both engraved with a message personal to you both just to give them that unique feel. Often plain antique wedding rings just don't suit the personality of the owners so if this is the case why not have both you and your partner's wedding rings given a unique style by having the edges engraved. It is worth remembering that you are choosing rings for your wedding and not someone else's so as long as you both agree you can't go wrong with your choice.

Never forget how important you antique wedding ring is and that it is not like any other jewelry you posses. Therefore, never accept anything but the best quality rings you can afford or find. It is possible to buy antique wedding rings inexpensively but this should not be done as it undermines the significance of the wedding rings and you can be sure the rings will not stand the test of time.

Your expensive antique wedding rings should also fit perfectly so do not accept anything less as when you come to place them on each others fingers on the wedding day you may find they no longer look as good. To make sure your antique wedding rings fit perfectly you will need the services of a professional jeweler to measure you and your partner's fingers, which is something you can't do over the internet. Having the wedding rings made to measure ensure that they are not too tight to put on or so loose they fall off. Adjustments aren't usually done ‘over the counter' so allow plenty of time for your antique wedding rings to be adjusted before the big day. So as soon as you have planned when you are to be married, go out and choose you antique wedding rings and allow at least a couple of months for the rings to be adjusted.

You also need to allow time to choose your antique wedding rings as the choice of design and styles is huge. Choosing your antique wedding rings should be a combination of what is comfortable to wear on a daily basis and what looks god to you both but remember that your instinct should play a big part in the decision. Remember that your antique wedding rings are a symbol of your love and commitment to each other. This type of life changing statement means you should buy wedding rings that reflect this and that you will feel proud to wear.

How to Select a Really Good Wedding DJ

by Donna Ennis

I've noticed these days that just about every bride hires a DJ to handle music at the wedding reception (and sometimes at the ceremony). I'm sure part of that trend has to do with convenience. What most brides don't realize is that deciding on a DJ goes beyond the question, "Who should I have playing music for my guests?" It is one of the most critical choices on a bride's list of arrangements for wedding-day service providers. (For brides who prefer to hire live musical entertainment for their events, this applies to band leaders of orchestras, as well.)
A good DJ can smoothly guide the flow of your ceremony or reception, and keep your guests involved and entertained. A bad DJ can ruin the entire event. A great DJ can dazzle your guests and at the same time help to seamlessly coordinate the work of everyone operating behind the scenes, turning your reception into the most fabulous party of the season. A DJ (short for Disc Jockey) is unquestionably your MC (short for Master - or Mistress - of Ceremonies). They sit in the control seat: They have the microphone, and they are the focal person in the hall. From there they can alert people like caterers, videographers and photographers to be ready for whatever is happening next at your event; they can keep your guests informed and happy and they can field any requests your guests might have for special music. A masterful DJ literally can be a bride's best friend at the reception.

As with any friend, you need to choose wisely. Do some thinking before you draw up your list of DJ candidates. First, consider who you will invite to your event, and what kind of atmosphere you want. If your family and friends tend to be somewhat reserved, then hiring a flamboyant, over-the-top DJ would be a mistake. Someone generating that kind of high-voltage personality might repel your group from the dance floor, rather than attract them to it.

On the other hand, if you have a raucous entourage of people who love to party, then you don't want a DJ whose style is to keep the music playing, keep your events running like clockwork, and generally keep the ship on an even keel. Your friends and family may hang back, waiting for the DJ to get into the party spirit and rev up the action to the level of excitement they prefer. It could be a long wait.

Here is a checklist to help you select the best DJ for your occasion:

1. Verify that the behind-the-mike personality of your DJ is a good match for the group personality of your guests.

2. Make sure the DJ enjoys working with your other support people (such as caterers and videographers) because that is a vital part of the job.

3. Make sure the DJ has the right equipment in their studio to bring to your event: Enough audio gear and lighting gear to cover the needs of the hall and the demands of your schedule.

4. Is the DJ is willing to play the kind of music you enjoy, and has plenty of the appropriate songs in their collection?

5. Are you comfortable enough with the DJ that you can trust them make judgment calls on what songs to play at certain times (even songs that may not be on your list), in order to liven up the party?)

You're the expert on what the crowd at your party will be like; the DJ should be your expert on getting the event moving and keeping it going. For that to work, you both need to share your expertise. Be wary of a DJ who seems to have all the answers - even before you ask a question. A good DJ will want to spend time talking with you so that they can prepare to do the best job possible. Remember to let your disc jockey or band leader know you expect them to help coordinate the work of your other support people, like the videographer and the photographer. If that seems like a new idea to them, then you should look elsewhere.

As a wedding professional, I always contact the DJ before a wedding just to make sure we get off to a good working relationship. I let them know that I appreciate what they'll be providing at the reception, and that I'll be relying on them for a heads-up if any part of an event is starting before I am ready. It always helps, but what I've found is that the great DJs are the ones who call me before I get a chance to call them. They know their job - all phases of it - and they can't wait to get started. It's a pleasure to work with those professionals. That is the kind of mastery you want in the person directing your reception ceremony music.
