How to keep your Hair Style Beautiful while working out

Many of us Ethnic women don't like to work out because we don't want to lose that fresh Beauty Salon Look that we paid $50.00 or more for.  We allow ourselves to get out of shape for the sake of our hair-do.  When you can't style your own hair and you rely soley on your Hairstylist, it can be tramatizing when after working out for 30 minutes doing the cha cha in zumba class, you look in the mirror only to see that your hairstyle went flat!

You ask yourself. What is a girl to do?  How can I exercise and still look my best for work or school?

The Gym wrap


Well here are a few tips and suggestions that will help you keep that hair-do:

1.  If you are wearing a wrap style, wrap your hair and place a multi-style headband cap on your head to protect your hair.  Your hair may be a little damp after working out.  Allow it to dry completely,  then comb it down and style. (Your hair will not be frizzy). You can also wear a gym wrap which will absorb all your sweat and leave your hair looking as beautiful as when you started working out!

2.  If your hair is natural with no chemical, it is best to put a few braids, cornrows or twist in it before hitting the gym floor.  Your hair will maintain its stretch look and be free of tangles when your workout is over.

3.  If you are wearing a curly or deep wave weave, you should have no problem.  Just separate your hair and make two braids on either side.  Rock this style on work-out days.

DO NOT WEAR A HAT TO WORKOUT:  WHY?? Because all the heat and sweat is trapped under your hat.  The only part of your hair that is getting any air is the ponytail that is hanging out from the back of your hat,  flopping  back and forth as you run on the treadmill LOL!

DO NOT WEAR A COTTON BANDANNA OR SCALF:  WHYNOT?? Because cotton is not a breathable material. Gym wraps or multi-style headbands will work just fine.

So ladies its the end of the year.  Before you know it, summer will be here.  Sign up at your local gym or reactivate that gym membership and go out there and do your thing.  Yes workout, have fun and don't worry about your hair do.  If you follow the above tips you will be fine, in shape and sexy!:-)

How to choose the correct length when buying HairExtensions

Hair Extensions come in different lengths.  Choosing your  length is very important when buying extensions.  Since we are all different heights and sizes,  the extensions will not fall the same way.  It is a good idea to have a particular look or style in mind.  If you are not sure,  ask  yourself, are you looking to add extensions for length or fullness?  Once you figure  that out, it is time to begin measuring. Using a clothing   measuring tape (the soft one),  measure  your own hair and then decide on how much length you would like to add.  For example, if  the  length of your natural hair  is 10 inches and you would like to add 4 inches, you will need 14 inch extensions. If you want a full head of extensions with no leave out,  place the  tape on the  Crown of your head and bring it  down to your desired length.  Have a friend help you to hold ...

The Truth About Chinese Hair Extension Grading (4A - 7A) System!

 In the United States we use a grading system for EVERYTHING!  According to the* U.S.D.A. grading is based on standards and standards are based on measurable attributes that describe the value and utility of the product. Standards for each product describe the entire range of quality for a product, and the number of grades varies by commodity. For example,  there are 8 grades of beef, 3 each for chicken, eggs & turkey,  32 grade standards  &  specifications for dairy products and more than 312 fruit, vegetables & speciality product standards.* So, with all that said, what are the standards for which Human Hair is graded?? You guessed it............there is none.  The US doesn't have a  regulatory agency for Hair. Manufacturers and processors from overseas have gotten wind on how grades are important to us in the western world so they have gotten together to give us grades based on on their own internal quality...
