Hair Care Home Remedies
Save money and give yourself a break from the chemicals found in most hair care products by using the following natural home remedies. Tame your frizzy hair by rubbing coconut oil into your hands and applying sparingly onto your hair. You don't want to overdo it - too much will make your hair look greasy. Shampooing your hair less frequently also helps with the frizzies. Excess shampooing strips natural oils from the hair. Rinse your hair with one tablespoon baking soda mixed with one cup of water to get rid of shampoo build-up and styling residues. Rinsing your hair with one juiced lemon and one cup of water is said to bring life and shine back to dull hair. 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar mixed with two cups of water will give your hair shine and bounce. Add essential oil of ylang ylang to your shampoo, conditioner and styling agents as a hair rejuvenator. Ylang ylang and rosemary essential oils are also believed to stimulate hair growth. Drinking plenty of water and eating plenty of raw fruits and vegetables and getting plenty of rest is probably the best way to achieving healthy hair. What goes into your body is reflective on the outside including your hair. Elizabeth Kiely is the owner of EK Shower Caps: http://www.EKLBC.com

At-home Hair Color: Seven Tips for Great Results
Doing your own home hair color for the first time can be
intimidating, to say the least. Have I chosen the right
color? What if I make a mistake and wind up with green hair?
What if I end up with overprocessed, dry damaged hair?
The fact is that you can achieve excellent results and save
a lot of money by coloring your hair at home as long as you
know a few basics about how to select the right color and
apply it correctly.
Here are seven of the most common questions and my advice
on hair coloring at home.
Advice on Permanent Hair Coloring at Home
1. How do I know whether I should color my hair at home or
go to a salon?
Most people can successfully color their hair
at home but there are exceptions. You should get a professional
color job if your hair is in poor condition - coloring dry
damaged hair at home can result in uneven color. Also, if your
hair has different shades and you want one even tone, a hairdresser
can apply different formulas to the different areas. Finally, it's
best to leave it to the experts if you want to make a drastic
change to your hair color, say dark brown to platinum blonde, or
you want special color effects or highlights.
2. Are drugstore hair colors just as good as salon hair color
products?
In general, salon hair colors contain higher-quality ingredients
than the drugstore brands. Salons also offer a wider variety of
colors and tones. But home coloring kits are getting better all
the time and can deliver good results if used properly.
3. How do I pick a color that will look natural on me?
When choosing a hair color, your skin tone and natural hair color
are the two most important factors. Whether you're going lighter
or darker, stay within two or three shades of your natural hair
color. Here is a guideline for selecting a compatible hair color
for your skin tone:
Dark/olive skin: Stay with darker hair colors.
Yellow skin: Dark, rich colors like deep auburn.
Pale skin: Almost any color.
Pink skin: Neutral tones like sandy or beige blonde or chocolate brown
are best. Avoid reds or golden tones.

All About Plastic Surgery
The plastic surgery has become a multi-million dollar one, as both men and women employ more and more extreme tools in order to reach the ever more ubiquitous image of perfection that torments us.

Exercise and Your Plastic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery can make an exciting and lasting difference in the way your face and body look. Many see the results as 'life-changing'. You will feel more confident and positive about yourself. It marks the beginning of a new attitude about you and your health. When you look good you'll want to maintain that appearance. Not surprisingly, many start incorporating exercise and better eating habits into their daily routine, habits that will help you look and feel younger longer. The better your physical condition is prior to surgery, the better your surgical outcome will be. Elective surgery will give you time to prepare to be as healthy as possible. An added bonus for those who are fit beforehand is they won't gain as much weight when they are inactive after surgery. Because you have more muscle from an active lifestyle your metabolism will remain higher. You will be given strict instructions by your doctor on when to return to an exercise regimen. It's usually three to four weeks after a facelift, and a month after any type of body surgery, like breast augmentation or liposuction. Once back to working out or starting up for the first time then it's best to build up slowly.
