There has been a universal question of how to make African American hair grow long, but somehow we have gotten side tracked and have preferred to go the instantaneous route for hair length (the weave or wig) for longer hair. The hair care industry for women of color is a billion dollar industry producing product after product in attempts to answer this question.

There is a myth that we, as women of color, are destined to have short, brittle hair prone to breakage; it’s destiny and we should accept things the way they are. Some of you believe that is your destiny due to a long love/hate affair with your hair, but I am here to tell you that is only a myth and that you can achieve your desired length without the use of artificial means such as wigs, weaves, or hair pieces.

Look around you and see the evidence. Go to any bookstore and you will find black hairstyle magazines sporting women of color with long beautiful tresses that really aren’t theirs. I cannot tell you how discouraging and frustrating it is to look at a black hairstyle magazine, and over 98% of the magazine is not about growing your own hair; it is mainly devoted to maintaining artificial hair such as wigs and weaves. I cannot stress to you the importance of knowing that prolonged use of these products will not only impede the progress of hair growth, but over a long period of time, you will steadily wear your hair down to a nub and will have nothing to show for it but a broken pocket book and a bald head. At that time wearing a wig will not be an option, it will be a necessity and you will then be forced to wear the wig because there will be nothing left but a few sprigs.  Read more...

The number of gyms and the number of people joining them has grown dramatically in recent years. A large part of this can be put down to studies which have shown both the benefits of positive lifestyles and the negatives of an unhealthy lifestyle. The number of TV programs, adverts and even magazine articles which have highlighted the dangers of fatty food, sedentary lifestyle, smoking and alcohol has been constantly increasing. All of these factors have helped to make people healthier and more active, this in turn has led to more people joining gyms in an effort to get in top physical condition.

One good aspect of modern gyms is that they are no longer tailored towards men. A lot of older gyms were full of weight lifting equipment with no cardiovascular equipment in sight. Fortunately, modern gyms are much more accessible to women. They have a healthy balance of cardiovascular machines as well as decent sized weight rooms. It is important to have a combination of both as obtaining a healthy heart is an important part of physical fitness, it’s not just about having the biggest muscles.

Women are also able to take their fitness more seriously thanks to sports supplements such as those available from mybodybuildingsuperstore.com. These sports supplements help in numerous ways to allow both men and women really get the most from their workout. Traditionally, sports supplements and more specifically bodybuilding supplements have been aimed at men. Certainly, most women would not want to take bodybuilding supplements, these are really for anyone looking to pack on large amounts of muscle. However, there’s no reason in the world why women should not take energy boosting supplements in an effort to get the best from their workout, anything that can help our overall health has got to be worth doing.

Change is a good thing, especially when it comes to hairstyles. But when you get tired of your current style and it’s time to find a new one, it can be hard to settle on a new look. There are many hairstyle magazines and websites that offer photos of style ideas. But what looks good on a model in a magazine won’t always look good on you. So how do you know what to choose?

The best way to choose a hairstyle is to consider your own face and body shape. A common mistake made by men and women is to choose a hairstyle that looks great on a movie star or model without considering their own face shape and body. The result usually turns out unflattering. Face shape is essential. Someone with a round face shape shouldn’t choose a style that sweeps the hair back from the face. This will only accentuate the round face shape. When looking at hairstyles, make sure to note the face shape of the model and see if it is similar to your own. The next thing to consider is styling. Some people make the mistake of thinking that a certain hairstyle is simply a matter of getting the right hair cut. Unfortunately, they soon find out that in order to achieve the style in the photograph, they have to spend hours styling their hair. When considering a haircut, ask your stylist how long it will take to style every day. By following these tips you can find a hairstyle that is perfect for you.

1. The celebrity’s facial features may not match yours. The truth is that a lot of people come to a plastic surgeon’s office equipped with pictures of a celebrity facial feature and say, “I want that.” The problem is that what works on Julia Roberts or Brad Pitt may not work on your face or frame. Sure, Angelina Jolie looks great with her pillow lips, but on you, lip augmentation may look more “duck” than “desirable.”
2. Celebrities change their looks. Can you imagine if someone had tried to keep up with Michael Jackson’s face over the years? Or Joan Rivers’? Celebrities pride themselves on their ability to change their look — often through clothes and hairstyles, though just as often with a little nip and tuck — to keep their fans panting for more. If your goal is to look like your favorite celebrity, you’d better keep a plastic surgeon on speed dial because most Hollywood stars fight the aging process with Botox and scalpels.
