How to Choose Feather Hair Extensions

The extensions themselves are only about $5-$10. Plus, you can easily pick up a cheap feather hair extension kit from an online store such as Amazon (often for as little as $2). The feather extension kits make installing the feathers a whole lot easier, and they typically have enough supplies for adding 10 or more feathers.
Adding feather hair extensions at home is actually really easy, especially if you follow the directions.
However, making them look great is a little more challenging. Too many people just tack the feather to their head (or worse, they pay someone to tack the feather to their hair), leaving it as a bit of fluff that sticks out from the side of their head.
Instead of being stylish, it just looks like they have something stuck to their hair.
You don't want that look. You want to look stylish. So here are some tips to help you completely rock your feather hair extensions:
1. Choose the right feather for the job
There is a wide variety of feathers available on the market. They're grizzled, they're natural, they're died, they're smooth and long, and they're short and fluffy.
And sometimes you can even combine different feathers to create a more complex extension. (Look at Steven Tyler's extensions near his ears. Those are a combination of feathers.)
You will want to first of all match colors. There's nothing wrong with adding a bright blue feather to your blonde look. However depending on your skin tone, you might find that a red feather better accents your look. How would you know? Pick feathers that will go well with the majority of your clothes.
You already subconsciously pick clothes that you look good in. Matching your feathers to your clothes is a sure bet to get good colors.

Best Hair Dye and Hair Color Ideas

Dye' your hair naturally, with no chemicals, no lead, and no artificial dyes. Commercially available Hair Coloring uses chemicals that do away with, replace, or make stronger the natural pigments within the hair shaft. Hair color can be a reflection of light off the coloured pigment of the hair shaft. This will make the transition out of your colored hair back in your natural hair color graceful without roots which might be a completely many color sticking out.
Different colors add or subtract from the hair color giving it various hues and shades. Do not condition your hair a few hours prior to applying hair dye, shampooing will do the trick. Gloves should be used and must be included in a hair dye kit. - Articles that refer to the development of some forms of cancer including leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, bladder cancer, blood cancer, and multiple myeloma because of hair dye usage.
Prolonged use of permanent dark hair dyes cans potentially double an individual's risk of acquiring various varieties of blood cancer. - A recognized human carcinogen, four -ABP, was discovered in some property hair dyes. - An FDA analysis that discovered lead acetate in a great number of dyes to be toxic. There are a great number of adverse effects that may result from their use.
Colors which might be too beige or ashy don't complement skin tones. Try using gold or warm tones, this provides the surface a more youthful, healthy glow. However, take note that this type of alter will get various attention so select some thing that suits your skin tones and functions. Protect your skin by wrapping a towel around your neck as the dye can irritate your skin or affect your clothes.

Professional Organic Hair Color

Organic Hair Color
As our population continues to age, more and more women are turning to professional permanent color to prevent their hair from looking dull and grey. Because of this, there has been a heightened awareness of the highly toxic chemicals found in most permanent colors. This has led to a huge increase in the popularity of organic hair products.
Organic color offers an alternative to the more health conscious woman who does not want to sacrifice her health for her beauty. Although organic hair color is a much safer, healthier choice than it's toxic alternatives, it can actually perform much better than the chemical brands that are used in most salons. Although a professional colorist may charge between 10% and 15% more for organic haircolor than chemical based haircolor, the results will be a more vibrant, healthier, shinier, and longer lasting color that does a superior job at covering resistant great hair. The reason why professional organic hair color products costs a bit more than chemical based professional color products is all in the ingredients. The organic raw ingredients required to make high quality organic color is several times more expensive than the cheaper synthetically created chemicals used in chemical based color.
How is Organic Hair Color Different?
There are three primary differences between professional organic color and chemical based color products. First, organic color will not contain ammonia while chemical based color contains high amounts of ammonia or ammonia hydroxide (ammonia and water). Second, organic color will minimize its use of synthetic chemicals. Third, a good organic color will maximize its use or certified organic raw ingredients to nourish and restore the hair while providing it with a rich, permanent, lustrous color.
Ammonia-Free Hair Color
Ammonia is a dangerous corrosive toxin whose primary purpose in the color process is to blast open the cuticle. Opening the hair's cuticle is necessary for the color molecules to enter the hair's cortex where it oxidizes with hydrogen peroxide resulting in permanently coloring the hair. High quality professional organic color will use a swelling agent like cocamide (which is naturally found in coconut oil) to gently swell the cuticle open allowing the color molecules in the color to enter the hair's inner cortex. This process usually requires the use of heat to assist in the swelling process. After the oxidative color process is complete, the heat is removed from the hair and the cuticle swells down to its natural state sealing the color inside the hair's cortex naturally protected by the in-tact cuticle. This is preferred to using ammonia to blast open the cuticle as doing so will damage the hair and leave it damaged allowing the color to slowly fall out. When color begins to come out to the hair's cortex through daily activity, it is called color fade. Color fade rarely happens with organic color and is quite common with chemical color.

New Trends in Ammonia-Free Hair Color

The professional world of hair and hair dye can be complicated place for most consumers. There are countless options available on the market today, different varieties, shades and formulas to select when choosing the correct color. This situation often presents confusion for consumers who do not know where to turn for the best in natural hair color options. Most hair dyes, even those used by professional salons, contain chemicals like ammonia. These chemicals are used in the dye creation process in order to thicken the dye or ensure proper coverage when applied to hair. However, many consumers have grown concerned with these chemicals. This means that many consumers are seeking out more natural and organic options in hair dye. Many consumers are more conscious than ever of additives, harmful chemicals and other products that could be potentially harmful to them and their family. Options in natural and ammonia-free hair color are no different when it comes to hair dye.
Organic Hair Color
For a very important and necessary reason, several companies created a new professional line of organic hair color. This gentler formula, which is still a permanent hair color, is not as harsh as other dyes but still gives the same vibrant color customers expect to receive at the salon. Many experts in the hair industry report this product has arrived just in time, due to the fact that many other companies have recently consolidated. Several industry professionals are now searching for a meaningful company to be part of in the hair industry. This hair color is free of harsh chemicals and faux fragrances that strip hair of its natural oils. For those who demand the best for their hair, this product fits the bill.
Using only the best Ingredients
Unique ingredients like fruit pectin for its thickening properties and other essential natural oils are the key to high quality, natural hair color. Many consumers experience difficulty in locating the purest products in the hair color industry today. In particular, consumers seek ammonia-free hair dye from the industry. This is why importance is placed upon an honest approach to marketing these natural products to consumers. Several companies works to create a quality product and to market it with integrity and honesty to establish open communication with potential clients and customers.
Meeting the Demand for Natural Products
Many consumers have shown a great demand for hair dye products that are organic and natural in nature. Most people read labels and ingredients closely, keeping an eye on additives and the chemicals in both food and hair products. With allergies and other health-related issues at an all-time high, most consumers are very aware of how these chemicals are potentially harmful. Many companies have created and distributed natural type products or hair dyes in the market but have not experienced long term success. These types of products have been the center of controversy and public issues and have not found their way into the industry. Several other companies, who were preparing for a spring release of an ammonia-free hair dye, are prepared to take the industry by storm.

Hair Color Ideas for the Summer

Summer is almost here and everyone is looking to lighten up their look. Summer wardrobes are often bright and airy, and many people spend a lot of their time at the pool. With tanner skin, or even with a sunless tan, different hair colors look better. This time of the year is the best time to debut a new look. Here are some hair color ideas to transition your hair from winter to summer easily.
The best way to give your hair a summertime glow is to get some highlights. Highlights are one of the greatest hair color ideas for summer because they really lighten up the hair without having to do the whole head, which is cheaper. Some face framing lighter streaks around the face and on top create a sun-kissed look. If you have blonde hair, try even lighter blonde highlights like champagne and platinum. For brown hair, lighten up with medium blond to light blond highlights. Honey or caramel-colored highlights also give a warm glow. For darker hair, medium brown or even red highlights can still give the same effect. Red hair also looks beautiful with blonde highlights.
The best summer hair color ideas for shades that are darker from deep, chocolate brown to jet black are to either lighten with highlights, or to brighten the shade two to three shades lighter than your winter color. For a deep, chocolate hue, lightening the base to a more medium-brown shade is like an instant face-brightener. Taking jet black to a slightly lighter brown can make a huge difference in giving you a sunny look.

Boys Clothes Collection by Christian Dior for Winter 2011 and 2012

In this article I want to give you a sneak-peak at the boys clothes collection by Christian Dior for the upcoming fall and winter season of 2011 and 2012. The collection has surprised me very much and it is in its essence very different from the girls clothes collection. Nevertheless, both designer kids clothes collections are clean-looking which goes hand in hand with the superior design of Christian Dior. Whereas the girls clothes collection takes on a dreamy fairy-tale type of style, the boys clothes collection for winter 2011 and 2012 is down to earth and clever. A name that well describes what I mean is "James Bond" who represents a classy down to earth man who's very convincing in his behavior. That doesn't mean the boys clothes collection by Christian Dior takes on a special agent type of look, though!
So you are probably wondering what the elements are that make up the Dior boys clothes collection. The most apparent elements are "skinny" and "1960s". The clothes have a sharp cut and are rather skinny designed. It looks really amazing because it is mixed with a 1960s type of clothing. Very important to realize is that not everything is mixed with a 1960s style, there are also numerous "modern" casual trousers, sweaters and jackets like a hooded down jacket. Nevertheless, they are still designed in a skinny-looking cut that can very well be combined with any of the 1960s style of clothes from this collection. Dior expresses the 1960s style especially through coats and trousers that are casual looking. Think of a 1960s movie where the male protagonist strolls down a street in his casual clothes. Nevertheless, there are no hats in the Dior collection for boys. The one thing that adds "modern spice" to the collection are the shoes. The shoes are discreet and comfortable sneakers in dark colors. This is great because a boys collection has to stay a kids line and shouldn't turn boys into men or even gentlemen.
I can assure you your son will still be your little "rascal" even when wearing clothes from Christian Dior's boys collection. He will, though, make a handsome appearance wherever he goes and look exceptionally successful and clever. To compare Dior's boys collection with James Bond was kind of risky but it really does describe the overall impression quite well in my opinion. Nevertheless, this is no stiff suit and tie collection that is only worn by little boys who already go to art exhibitions. The skinny design, the casual sweaters and jackets and the shoes combine very well and deliver a great sense of identity and class for any boy wearing clothes from this collection in the upcoming winter of 2011 and 2012.

Girls Clothes Collection by Christian Dior for Winter 2011 and 2012

Dior's new girls clothes collection for winter 2011 and 2012 is showing up on the internet. Hence it's time to take a closer look and point out some of its unique characteristics. From what I have seen so far, the preview to Dior's girls clothes collection has already revealed quite well what we can expect in winter 2011 and 2012.
So what is it that can we expect from Dior's new girls clothes collection? When I looked at the photos, the first thing that came to my mind was "Alice in Wonderland". There's quite a strong fairytale-feel to the collection. I love how Christian Dior implemented such a magical theme that is very suitable for girls. I would say, though, that a girl wearing some of these clothes wouldn't even think of it as a fairytale theme! For her, it's probably "just" a very beautiful dress or a pretty item of clothing. Only from an adult's perspective do we recognize the fairytale theme. That's what makes this collection so unique in my opinion! The girl wearing a dress from Dior's winter collection will feel beautiful - and she certainly will look beautiful - while the parents see her as the little princess they adore, as if she escaped from a fairytale straight into their lives. That's how magical Dior's winter collection is. At this point it's feasible to say: Dior's new girls clothes collection is going to be amazing.
So what are the elements of the collection that give it this fairytale look? Probably the most apparent characteristic is the cleanness. All of the dresses, coats and other clothes have a very clean look to it: clean in terms of coloring and design. There are no wild patterns or excessive mingling of colors. Scrolling through the pictures makes you realize how congruent all the different dresses and clothes are. The colors that are used are not somber, either, which is something I appreciate very much in this collection. There's a lot of white, blue and even red. Because of the clean designs and patterns that are mixed with these classy colors, your daughter wearing one of these dresses will look so neat, that you instantly believe she's from a fairytale.

Plus Size Club Wear is Simply Fun

Stretch material is considered to be the most appropriate choice for the plus size club wear. You will have the ease and comfort of moving freely without getting conscious.

Therefore, the first advice for all you plus sized ladies, who want to have fun and look beautiful, is to wear clingy fabrics.

Plus size club wear can also include smart and sexy dresses. Again, it will be very important to select those dresses especially, which will cling on to your figure. A v-neck wrap around dress would prove to be an outstanding selection for the plus size club wear.
There are a variety of dresses that are available in the market that will make you look hot and stand out in the crowd. However, that is only possible when you are aware and clear as to what suits you the best. You should specifically be looking out for those dresses that are form fitting and above the knee level. By selecting the most appropriate set of shoes, especially with high heels will help in giving a complete look. Whatever you choose, always make sure that your plus size club wear is hot and sexy!

Men's Shoes: Boots

Men's shoes or boots can be of various types, for different reasons and for different occasions. The most important point to be taken into consideration while choosing men's shoes is that, you must always keep a tab on the style factor and the suitability of the shoes with the outfits you are wearing and even its worth for the specific place or occasion you will be visiting. Based on the different requirements, the different types of boots have emerged. They are meant for different needs, for instance, if you are going for hiking, then Cowboy boots obviously won't be the right choice, in this case you have to wear the hiking boots to safeguard a smooth hiking expedition.
Now, let's peep into the style factor associated with making selection for the perfect mens shoes boots. If you are planning to wear the denims, khakis or other stylish casuals, then the shoe approach should also bear a mark of casual mood. On the contrary, if the occasion happens to be semi formal to formal, then also, you need to be sure to have the pair of men's shoes, which will go with the mood well.
Shoes speak out the taste, preference and personality of an individual with a precise detail. If you are really trying to understand a man well, then just look at his shoes and it will brief you the basic traits he is carrying. Therefore, just getting a mere pair of men's shoes is not anyway an easy task. You have to think a lot and then find the choice that will fit your feet in the best way.
Closed stitched shoes are made that way so that they can protect us from the elements of nature when we are bound to work in outdoor conditions. These men's boots stop water or snow to enter the shoes and are hence stitched very closely. Moreover it is well taken care of that the material, generally leather are water proof. But shoes are also made of other materials like wood, rubber, plastic and other synthetic stuff. There are men's boots which can endure the hot molten metals of a blast furnace as well as protect our feet from frost bites in sub zero conditions.

Mens Shoes Are Always Fashionable

The Cruz Slip on loafers is also one of the best collections which you can opt for from the market. These Mens Shoes provide you with the maximum level of comfort and you can certainly enjoy the privilege of wearing them. Although these loafers provide you with quite a simple look, you can easily wear it with jeans or trousers which make you look cool. The Brogues are also a part of the exclusive collection which you can choose as a customer.
These brogues provide you with that much wanted special look which you always seek as a customer. The Ben Sherman Lace is one of the brogues which you can pick up and flaunt your style statement. These brown coloured brogues provide you with a sensational style statement and you can walk around with panache by wearing this. Among the Brogues collection which are offered to you, you can pick your choice from the Gucinari range which is one of the most popular varieties.
These brogues provide you with a classic look and you can wear them to the various occasions of your choice. The James Lace Up is another brogue from the Men's Shoes collection which provides you with a superb look. These shoe projects ultra modern lace designs and provides you with an attractive look.

Men's Fashion Trends

One of the great things about men's fashion is that while trends come and go, such as the polyester suit of the 70s and the punk look of the 80s, it always seems to gravitate back towards a clean and masculine look. 2011 has definitely brought a major resurgence of this classic appearance. In both high fashion and catalog spreads, you'll see men dressed in flattering styles and natural fabrics. The grunge look of the 90s is out, and the well-groomed clean cut appearance of an earlier era has made a comeback. Along these lines, here are 3 of my favorite trends in men's fashion coming up for fall of 2011.
Colored denim- We have a tendency to always think of denim as meaning "blue jeans." But colored denim is a great trend for fall, and a nice way to dress up your normal denim look. Now it's accepted that you can wear white jeans, even after Labor Day. Just anchor them with darker pieces, such as gray or brown shoes and belt, and a navy sport jacket. Gray jeans are a terrific look for fall. You can pair them with other cool tones, such as a blue and white striped shirt, camel suede shoes, and a blue denim jacket for a nice, calming look. Or for something a little bolder, try yellow-gold denim pants. Just remember that this is a bright color, and the rest of your outfit should remain in neutral shades, such as tans or navy blues.
"Mad Men" inspired fashion- Since the television show "Mad Men" became raucously popular, several different clothing companies have introduced tailored and form-fitting lines inspired by the pre-hippie era of the early 1960s. I am personally looking forward to Banana Republic's "Mad Men" inspired men's line that will be introduced this fall. The reason this particular line works so well is that it offers a bit of an updated twist on classic, retro looks. This is the very key to looking appropriate, not like you are wearing a costume, when emulating vintage fashion. Key pieces to pulling off the "Mad Men" inspired look are slim cut suits, shawl-collared sweaters, slim cut pin stripe trousers, vests, and waist coats. If you are attending a formal event, a classic black silk bow tie is key, and for everyday wear, a nice silk tie with necktie accessoriesis appropriate.
Casual dressy looks- What do I mean by "causal dressy"? Well, it differs from what you think of as straight-up dressy. For a casual dressy look, start with a casual foundation. This could be a pair of relaxed fit chinos and a polo shirt or silk screened cotton tee shirt. Then, add an element that you would normally only think of as dressy, such as a well fitted sport jacket. For another casual dressy look, try a pair of dark wash jeans and a button down shirt with the vest from your three piece suit. Or, black denim pants with a plain white tee shirt and a tuxedo jacket. You can also make any casual outfit more dressy with an interesting accessory such as an antique pocket watch or a nice pair of leather oxford shoes. Celebrities who regularly and successfully pull off the casual dressy look are Kanye West, Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, and Pharell Williams. Just don't ever mix a blazer or sport jacket with shorts when going for the casual dressy look.

Men's Fashion Sunglasses

There are many different types of men's fashion sunglasses on the market. The type you choose to purchase should depend on your needs as well as your personal style. If you need the sunglasses to protect your eyes against the sun or other elements, you will want to choose a pair that can effectively keep you safe. On the other hand, if you are seeking a new pair of sunglasses for fashion, there are many trendy options you may like that do not provide as much protection. Below are a few of the most common styles that men choose when buying sunglasses.
Aviator
Aviators were first made in the 1940's, but they became popular in the early 1980's, particularly when worn in the movie Top Gun. Tom Cruise sported a pair then, and these men's sunglasses have been a preferred style ever since. They are designed with large rectangular shaped lenses and metal rims and arms. The idea is the lenses will protect the eyes from the wind with their large shape. Many aviators offered mirrored lenses, while others are made with a light grey or green tint. Ray-Ban is a popular maker of aviator sunglasses, though top designers such as Armani also manufacturer these items. Many bikers choose these glasses because they are easy to wear with a helmet.
Rimless
Men's fashion sunglasses with no rimming are also a popular choice. These tend to look more modern than other sunglasses choices. They can be worn with casual or formal wear, and are made primarily by top end designers such as Versace and Chanel. Rimless sunglasses are usually more fragile that other options out there since there is no real protection for the lenses. The simplicity of the sunglasses makes them a perfect solution to men who do not like the look of other items.
Wrap Around
These men's sunglasses are just as they are described - they are wide and fit comfortably around the wearer's face. They are designed for men who participate in heavy-duty activities, such as biking, hiking, and water sports. These glasses fit close to the face to protect the eyes from dirt, debris, and water, depending on what conditions they are worn in. Ray-Ban is a popular maker of wraparound sunglasses. They look a bit futuristic on the face, especially compared to the traditional style of sunglasses.
