6 Easy Ways To Get Taller Even After The Age Of 18 – Don’t Give Up Just Yet!!

Before we get to what you can do to increase your height, let’s understand how our bodies grow naturally, and what we can do to amplify and supplement those processes. First things first, your height is primarily defined by genetics. Your parents’ genes will largely decide how tall you will be.

Your pituitary gland secretes HGH (Human Growth Hormone) that is responsible for muscle and bone growth, metabolism of fat, and body composition. This usually happens around puberty, around which most people have growth spurts that usually start between the ages of 12 and 13, and continue for five to six years. Some people continue to grow even after this, but it’s an exception rather than the norm. Height is associated with attractiveness and prestige. In modern culture, shorter people are always neglected in favour of their taller peers. Tall people are also associated with power. Most of the world’s leading CEOs and world leaders were found to be above average height. So, it’s natural that people always aspire to add a few more inches to their height. Here’s how you can do that:

1.    Get Proper Nutrition

Even though the body is secreting lower amounts of growth hormones, it is still possible to augment their production by eating right. A healthy diet should be rich in proteins, essential fats, complex carbohydrates, and all the nutrients and vitamins possible. Food is the fuel for the body to grow. Milk, lean meats, leafy vegetables, and nuts should be the pillars of your height increasing diet.

2. Exercise Regularly

Regular exercise is the best way to increase height after 18. As we age, it is important to include some form of physical activity in our routines. More so, if you are looking to add a few inches to your frame. Any physical activity that involves jumping, running or other aerobic activities will result in longer and stronger bones.

3. Get Adequate Sleep

It’s no secret that our bodies are always functioning, even as we sleep. Children grow the most in their sleep. Hence, it is essential that you sleep soundly for at least eight hours. Another factor that determines how you grow is your sleeping posture. For best results, lie down on your back without a pillow. Elevate your knees slightly by placing a small pillow under them. This is the most natural posture for your spine.

4. Go Out In The Sun

Go for a walk or jog in the sun, ideally in the morning when the sun is not at its brightest. Include natural sources of vitamin D in your diet like milk, cheese, eggs, and fish. Sunlight is the easiest way of absorbing vitamin D that helps your body absorb calcium into your bones. Thus, the more sunlight you absorb, the better it is for the overall bone strength and length.

5. Avoid Growth Inhibitors

Regular consumption of alcohol has been found to inhibit growth and affect the body’s natural functioning. Due to its adverse effects on the liver, excessive alcohol consumption is not recommended. Smoking is also harmful to those looking to grow taller. Smoking increases the presence of carbon monoxide in your bloodstream. This limits the flow of blood and nutrients to the areas that are growing, thus stunting their growth. Smoking also results in lower production of testosterone, an anabolic hormone related to muscle and bone growth.

6. Do Stretches

Stretching is an ideal way to relieve stress on your lower back and let your spine stretch out to its full length. There are several popular yoga poses, like the Surya Namaskar, that sufficiently stretch your body. These stretches should be performed along with appropriate exercise and balanced nutrition. This will ensure the best results.

20 Things you need to know before going into a relationship.

Before I started dating my first date, I didn’t know anything about relationships. I thought I did, but I was wrong. So, like probably almost everyone else in the world, I went into my first relationship without any idea of what I was doing or what I was supposed to do. I was confused, in love bordering on obsession, and felt totally out of my league most of the time.
So it’s safe to say that I wish I had read something like this before I went into my first relationship – because knowing these things now makes my current relationship that much easier. Of course, realizing this stuff usually comes with time and experience, but wouldn’t you rather know it now before getting into your first relationship? Here are the things you need to know before getting into a relationship (trust me on this stuff):

1. Your sex drives won't always be as compatible as they were at the start. One of you likes it in the morning and the other one doesn't! Or lunar cycles! Or work stress! I don't know, man. Star-crossed horniness just happens often.

2. After long enough, sex may often becomes no-frills, but in a good way. Like … let's both orgasm in under five minutes and then binge-watch an A&E true crime show together until we go to bed.

3. You'll come to rely on this person like they're one of your best friends. Which is a weird adjustment after having your best friends and random dudes you date in two very separate categories.

4. Which is scary, but good! Scary because intimacy; good because you'll always have someone to pick you up when you need to be woozily escorted home after minor surgery.

5. Someone will be on hand to carry heavy stuff and/or build IKEA furniture, without you having to text the dude you hooked up with one time from OkCupid and bribe him to come over and construct your new Flürm for you.

6. You will become the person who (occasionally!) blows off her friends for her significant other. Nobody wants to be that person — it just happens. "It" being "Ughhh, I don't want to stop cuddling with my person and drag my ass across town to have a drink with Emily" — for the first time ever. (Because before you were always Emily/the annoyed single friend.)

7. And you'll start feeling weird divulging intimate stuff between the two of you to your friends. Whereas, again, back when you were single and dating, your sex life was totally open for discussion.

8. Gross shit will happen. He'll enjoy popping your zits, for instance.

9. Your layers of vanity will shed until you're basically down to what you looked like in your seventh-grade class picture. Zero makeup? Yes. Frizzy, greasy hair? Check. Glasses? Check. Weird jeans that don't fit right because it's laundry day? Yep.

10. You're going to find out exactly how much you like someone as a person and not just as a crush. And it may not be pretty! But it also might be totally awesome, so sometimes the risk is worth it.

11. There's no bad time to say, "I love you." I feel like this is something people invented to try to stop people from expressing their feelings … and lord knows that's the best way to waste your goddamn time.

12. You'll learn to put up with their weird family because you sort of have to. Not to mention politely compartmentalize all the pillow talks you've had about how messed up your families are.

13. Eventually, even if you "don't believe in marriage," this is very likely how you will start thinking about marriage: 

14. When you do fight, it'll get more vicious than your most infamous girlfriend fights. That shit makes Hannah and Marnie's "You're the wound!" fight on Girls look like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

15. Cuddling will never stop being good. Much like binging on Sno-Caps exclusively in movie theaters, it will always just feel right.

16.  Compromise Is Key

Compromise is SO important in a relationship. If one or both of you are not willing to do something you don't want to do once in a while, things are never going to work out. I'm a very stubborn person, and compromising can be really hard for me. But it didn't take long for me to figure out that I had to compromise sometimes if I wanted to have a good relationship.

17.   You Absolutely Can't Be Too Dependent On Each Other

Dependency might seem romantic and sweet, but it's not. It will ruin your relationship. If one or both of you are too dependent on the other person, you're going to drive yourselves crazy. My ex and I were very dependent on each other. We didn't know how to function if we weren't together. We couldn't do anything apart. It was horrible! When we broke up, this dependency made things a million times worse. Make sure you are your own person, even when dating someone.

18. You Can't Change Someone

I know you probably hear this all the time, but really listen: you cannot change someone, no matter how much you want to. I heard that all the time too, but I still thought I could change my ex. I couldn't, obviously. People are who they are, and they will only change if they want to.

19. If You're Not Happy, You Need To End It Sooner Rather Than Later

Don't stretch out a bad relationship. In my first relationship, I wasn't happy for over a year before I did anything about it. It took me a long time to end things because I felt bad and because I was scared. I wish I had broken up with him sooner, honestly, because I wasted a lot of time being scared. Don't be scared! If you're unhappy, end things. Just do it. You won't regret it.

20.  Breaking Up Is Really Hard... But It's Not The End Of The World

Relationships end a lot of the time. Breakups ARE extremely difficult. But you WILL get through them. In my first relationship, I was so afraid of going through a breakup that I ended up dragging things out. I thought I wouldn't be able to handle it. But during my first breakup, I learned so much about myself. I saw how strong I was and I really ended up appreciating being single. Yes, I felt lonely for months and cried myself to sleep a lot and saw a therapist, but things worked out in the end.

GOOD BYE THANKS AND COMMENT.

Are You Really Ready for Divorce? The 8 Questions You Need to Ask Yourself.

by Bruce Derman, Wendy Gregson

Your marriage is in question and you're facing a real dilemma. You may be the one who is deciding should you stay or should you go.

"I feel like I need to get a divorce and end this so called marriage. Yet how can I be sure? Some days I feel more confident of my decision than others. A part of me still loves him or at least I care for him. I don't think I am in love with him, but what if I make a mistake. A lot of people will be affected by what I decide. Maybe I should not rush ahead with this. That's amusing since I have been thinking about it for three years. This whole thing wouldn't even be an issue and I could forget about this divorce, if he would just change his behavior."

Or you may be the one who has just heard that your spouse wants a divorce.

"Divorce? Where did that come from? Two weeks ago we were talking about a vacation in the mountains. I had no idea our marriage was this awful? I am shocked and devastated. I have got to find a way to put a stop to this. Maybe this is all a dream and when I wake up things will be back to normal."

Most books and articles on divorce are written based on the assumption that once a couple says they want a divorce that they are ready for divorce. It is our experience as therapists and divorce coaches, who have helped many people through this process that this is in fact not the case. Usually when couples begin the divorce process, either one but more often than not, both, are not really ready for the divorce.

Divorce professionals such as therapists, mediators and attorneys often believe that statements such as, "I've had it with him." or "My feelings have died for her," are indicators that the marriage is over. Attorney's often equate being hired for their services as an indicator that the couple is ready to divorce. This is not so.

Most couples who begin a divorce are unprepared and are often not even on the same page when they begin. It is this lack of preparedness and readiness for a divorce that either causes marriages to end prematurely or divorces to deteriorate into competitive contests. The decision to obtain a divorce is one of the most crucial decisions a person can make with consequences that last for years or a lifetime. A decision this important requires much greater attention than it is usually given by both couples and professionals. It is a process in and of itself. Once a couple is prepared and ready, they will sooner be able to begin their divorce by both being on the same page and this will eliminate most of the emotional and financial struggles that cause divorces to become adversarial and ruthless.

The reason many people do not even think about getting ready for a divorce is because they operate under the assumption that the sooner you can get out of a stressful situation the better. So there is a natural tendency for people who are in difficult marriages to want to get the divorce over with as quickly as possible in order to move on with their lives. Family and friends often encourage this as well. They hurt for the family and so also prescribe to the myth that the quicker the divorce is over, the sooner everything will return to normal. But unfortunately in most cases just the opposite happens. Couples who make rushed decisions to leave the marriage have had no time to evaluate their feelings, thoughts or options. As a result they are unprepared for the roller coaster of emotions, the complicated legal system and the many life changing decisions that they need to make. Quite often they make agreements which they cannot sustain, and instead of the situation getting better, they often find that they have just traded one set of problems for another. So it is no wonder that they often get tangled up in lengthy court cases and the very thing they hoped for, a quick divorce, often takes years.

This article outlines what couples need to do in order to face the numerous dilemmas that are inherent in divorce. A dilemma implies that you are torn between two choices, each of which have undesirable fearful elements. If people have not resolved their dilemmas before the divorce, they go through the process trying to manage their fear in different ways by hiding their doubt, responsibility; vulnerability, or dependency.

Whether a couple is starting the divorce process or even just contemplating a divorce, they need to first identify with the following divorce dilemmas.

The Three Divorce Dilemmas

Couples who are facing the possibility of a divorce face one of three dilemmas:

1. I want the divorce, but I am not sure if it is the right decision. Since going through a divorce impacts the lives of your children, as well as your lifestyle, economics, and marital investment, the pressure to make the "perfectly correct" decision is enormous. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees. The best case scenario is to make a decision that is not emotionally based, nor driven by your ego.

2. I do not want the divorce, my spouse does. Being in this reactive place will leave you feeling out of control and a helpless victim. You will experience intense emotional devastation, as your life will be changing before your eyes without you having any say in the outcome. In addressing this dilemma you need to ask yourself if you are clinging to staying on familiar, safe ground and to a marriage based on illusions. It is not easy to acknowledge and confront the problems in a marriage, when you are feeling so hurt by your partner.

3. I only want this divorce because my marriage is not working. If this is your dilemma, then you will want to avoid responsibility at all costs by seeing your partner to blame for the demise of the marriage. There will be tremendous preoccupation and anger about how your partner caused you to make this decision. The amount of noise generated from this blaming will be in direct proportion to your unwillingness to risk expressing any of your own fears and sadness. If this doesn't occur, the divorce proceedings to follow will be riddled with tension and conflict, and a continuation of the blaming.

The common element in all three dilemmas is fear. In the first group there is a fear of making a mistake and being incorrect, the second will hide from it by denying that there are any problems or admitting their attachment to the familiar and the third group will fear any accountability and softness. The result in all three circumstances will be dragging, combative, and back and forth divorces.

For divorce to be a collaborative and respectful process, the couple must be prepared and ready to separate their lives on all levels; legally, practically and emotionally. To do this each person must face their divorce dilemma by answering the following 8 questions.

The 8 Questions

1. Do you still have feelings for your partner?

Many people who say they want a divorce still have strong feelings for their partner, but due to an ongoing power struggle in the relationship there is a lack of intimacy and closeness. If this is you, it is best that you work on your relationship prior to deciding to divorce otherwise your feelings of loss will overwhelm you and you may find yourself worse off after the divorce than you are now.

Celine had been married for seven years to a man she loved, who she considered to be a real sweet, gentle guy. However, she was very unhappy about their financial arrangement. She was the responsible one who paid all the expenses, while he seemed to be forever getting them further into debt. She was very stressed and miserable and saw divorce as her only way out of the financial strain she was under. But because of her feelings for him she was not able to support such a decision or even set a clear boundary, for fear of losing the relationship. With the help of her therapist, Celine recognized that she either needed to either set a clear boundary and be willing to lose the relationship, or else accept that all her hassling was a waste of time.

2. Were you ever really married?

To be really married a couple must have created a relationship that included an "us" or a "we." Many people who are considering a divorce have never had a marriage that was anything more than two individuals meeting their own needs. They may have raised children and shared a home but they participated in those activities from a competitive rather than unified position. They would ask -- "Do I want to do this or that", rather than ask "Is this good for us?" If you have not developed a genuine "we" in your relationship this would be the time to either commit to learning how to do that or to admit that you have never really had a marriage.

Even as a therapist who works in the area of divorce, I had a very difficult time admitting that my own marriage of fourteen years was in fact in name only, regardless of the years that we lived under the label of husband and wife. Our pattern was to threaten to break up every few months, and we had a daily ritual of fighting, and agreements that rarely lasted more than a week. I used to joke to my wife that she needed to keep her bags packed just in case she needed to leave quickly. This pattern remained despite the numerous counseling offices we attended. It was not until I was able to acknowledge to myself that I was neither single nor married, that I was in fact nowhere, did any real change occur. We started the real divorce process two months later.

3. Are you truly ready for divorce or are you just threatening?

Divorce is often threatened, especially in heated marital arguments for the following reasons;

• Out of anger and frustration.
• To gain power and control over the other person, to get them to see things your way.
• To finally be taken seriously that you want real change.
• As a wake up call that the marriage is faltering.

People who consistently threaten divorce lose credibility with themselves and their partner. If the person is not merely threatening, but is genuinely ready for a divorce, they can sustain the following thought in their own mind, "That I wish to close a chapter of my life, because I am at peace with the fact that there is no more that I can do or give to this relationship." They will discuss this appropriately with their spouse without any blame.

4. Is this a sincere decision based on self awareness or is it an emotionally reactive decision?

To be ready to divorce your partner means being able to make a clear, unemotional decision that you can support over time. Divorce means being able to let go of all strong emotional attachments to the other person, the loving ones as well as the hostile and hurtful ones. Emotionally charged decisions do not last and if acted on do not resolve the underlying problem. People who divorce out of anger stay angry even after the divorce is over.

A woman came to see me as her divorce coach after she had been divorced for five years because she was still struggling with the effects of her divorce. Her problem was that she was still feeling rage toward her ex husband and found her self hating him on a weekly basis. I said to her, "It sounds like you are still married." She insisted that this was incorrect due to the hatred she had for him. I responded that the hate she was experiencing essentially reflected a great passion toward him despite her hateful label, which I doubted any current man could match. I stated that only someone who is married could have such a passion. From that moment on she began to emotionally detach from her ex husband and work towards, with the help of the coaching, a real divorce.

A statement that would indicate that you are making a sincere, rather than an emotionally reactive decision is, "I acknowledge that you are a person in your own right with your own personality, hopes and dreams, I can respect you for that, but I no longer want to be married to you."

To be ready for divorce is to have a lower emotional attachment to the person you are separating from, other wise, the divorce process itself will be roller coaster of intense feelings, including anger, distrust and hurt.

5. What is your intent in wanting a divorce?

Any agenda, other than ending the marriage, is an indication that you are not ready to divorce. If you are hoping that through the divorce the other person will change and start treating you better, realize how much they have lost or pay for how much they have hurt you, you are getting a divorce for the wrong reason. Divorce has no power to right wrongs nor change people's hearts and minds. Divorce can only do one thing, end a marriage, and in so doing free each person to make new attachments to new people.

6. Have you resolved your internal conflict over the divorce?

Everyone who goes through a divorce is conflicted. People can feel guilty at the same time as they are sure that they want to end the relationship. Or they can feel betrayed and at the same time recognize that their life will be better once they are out of the relationship. Recognizing the conflict and owning that different parts of you will be struggling with the impact of divorce, at different times, is part of the process of getting ready for divorce.

Rick was having the hardest time deciding what to do about his marriage. For the longest time he claimed that he was confused, conflicted, and torn. He couldn't seem to feel at peace being in the marriage or in leaving. His wife was verbally beating him up over his indecisiveness, often calling him a wimp. As his therapist, I asked to speak to the part of him who wanted out and I told him I didn't want to hear from any other part. He started to speak quite clearly about feeling no passion for his wife, but within a minute he began to hedge this voice with statements like "She is a good mother or she is dependable." Each time he would attempt to dilute in this way, I would have to say that I only wanted to hear from the voice that wants "out." As the wanting "out" voice became more and more expressive, he began to visibly sweat. I asked "What is happening?" Finally, he said, "I am feeling guilty." Where is that coming from?," I asked He said, "I made a promise that I would never follow the path of my father who left my mother." With this opposing voice sorted out and clarified, he was no longer confused. He was able to see that this old promise to himself was in conflict with his present desire to end his marriage. As he continued to work through those two opposing parts of himself he was finally able to make a decision that he felt at peace with and three months later he began the divorce proceedings.

7. Can you handle the unpleasant consequences of divorce?

Divorce brings change and grief because it is the loss of the "happy family" dream. Hurts , disappointments, loneliness, failure, rejection, inadequacy can all take hold of the psyche when we are in this extremely vulnerable passage. To be ready for the ups and downs of divorce it is necessary to have a support system of family and friends who will be there to help you emotionally and practically when needed.

One of the hardest consequences of divorce is needing to face another person's pain, be it your children's, your family or friends because divorce affects so many people's lives. If you are the one choosing they divorce you will have to hold on to your decision and the ending of your marriage in the face of all these people and circumstances. If you are the one who does not want the divorce, but your spouse wants to proceed, you will still need to get ready to accept the following consequences of a failed marriage. To know if you are ready, ask yourself if you are prepared for the following changes;

• If you don't want changes to your finances, lifestyle or traditions then you are not ready for divorce;
• If you cannot accept your children's sadness and anger then you are not ready for divorce
• If you cannot acceptance times of insecurity, fear and the unknown then you are not ready for divorce
• If you are not willing to let go of your spouse mentally, emotionally and spiritually then you are not ready for divorce.

I recall one woman who was totally bored with her one dimensional passive husband and she expressed what seemed like a very strong desire to leave him after 20 years of marriage. Each time she would tell me that she was going to tell him she wanted to separate, she would back off long before she got home. To help her recognize her own struggle we made a list of the consequences of divorce, and the one thing she said she could never accept was the fact that her kids would hate her for leaving their father. She said she could not risk that, no matter how bored she was. Once she owned that this unpleasant consequence of her divorcing him would be more than she could stand, she was able to think of other ways to resolve the problem of being bored in her marriage. Over time she became more independent and started to travel and develop interests of her own.

8. Are you willing to take control of your life in a responsible and mature way?

Whether you are the one who wants the divorce or the one who is having to respond to your spouse wanting the divorce both situations have one thing in common, the marriage is ending. How people respond to this fact determines the type of divorce and future they will have. They can come from a position of bitterness, revenge or helplessness or they can negotiate for their future from a position of strength, understanding and respect.. The attitude you choose will determine the type of divorce you have. Your options are as follows: You can make Agreements that:

Protect your rights only	or	Respect your spouse's rights too
Are only good for you	or	Are good for everyone
Give your spouse less	or	Give your spouse what is rightfully theirs
Do not inconvenience you	or	Work well for everyone
Need frequent court hearings to enforce	or	Need no court hearings to enforce

It is our experience that people who prepare themselves by first addressing all 8 questions are more likely to have a collaborative divorce. By starting the process in this way they are much better able to make lasting agreements with each other, resolve their difficulties and develop parenting plans that both supports the children and respects each other's rights.

Bruce Derman Ph.D. and Wendy Gregson LMFT have extensive experience in helping couples obtain a Better Divorce through preparation, collaboration, and effective negotiation.

Is DIVORCE, RIGHT OR WRONG? In a marriage ?

This article is a general overview of divorce laws around the world. Every nation in the world .... Canada did not have a federal divorce law until 1968. Before ..... Portugal's divorce laws were modified in October 2008, liberalizing the process.

Divorce (or dissolution of marriage) is the termination of a marriage or marital union, the canceling and/or reorganizing of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage, thus dissolving the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law of the particular country and/or state. Divorce laws vary considerably around the world, but in most countries divorce requires the sanction of a court or other authority in a legal process, which may involve issues of alimony (spousal support), child custody, child visitation / access, parenting time, child support, distribution of property, and division of debt. In most countries, monogamy is required by law, so divorce allows each former partner to marry another person; where polygyny is legal but polyandry is not, divorce allows the woman to marry a new husband.

Divorce should not be confused with annulment, which declares the marriage null and void; with legal separation (a legal process by which a married couple may formalize a separation while remaining legally married)

But In today's society people are getting married and start families much more often then they used to in the past. In contrast, there is a rapidly rising number of divorces, which I think, relates to the increase in the number of marriages. After careful consideration, if a spouse decides that it will be best to get a divorce, he or she should have the ability to do so without judgment or limitations enforced by others.
             Some people oppose divorce, and believe that all problems can be solved in order to maintain family's stability. If divorce is so awful, why do people choose that alternative so often? It would be hard to choose to continue living with an unloving, hateful, and in many cases abusive partner for so many more years to come. Before making a decision to divorce, however, many questions must be asked and answered. Is the marriage really bad, or is it only what you make of it? Do you think you are able to choose a better partner for yourself than the one you already have? What are the consequences to others, especially children? If negatives overweight the positives, a divorce is the right solution.
             Many argue that following the divorce of the parents, children are the ones who suffer more. They claim that a child's behavior, academic success and general live style takes a bad turn, but is the abuse (both physical or emotional), the spouses unhappiness, and unloving family what will make a child suffer less when they are together? It is unavoidable, of course, that it is very hard for the child to cope with the divorce in the period right after it occurred, but as time passes, he or she will become more accustomed to the situation. As long as a child has one loving and supportive parent, he or she will be just fine. In addition, the custody rights will allow the child to spend time with both parents. The academic success of the children might be slightly affected by the family split in the beginning, but if they have to grow and follow the change IN THE FAMILY AND UNDERSTAND THE SPLIT.

The weather in West Africa this season is so warm and this hairstyles will save you some heat wave so you could just feel free and let your neck breathe. Plus there’s always the option of Rocking Trendy Hairstyles For Short Natural Hair.

Like they say, looking good as a woman makes her feel good about herself but true beauty isn’t in weaves or hair or makeup, it comes from within. The best beauty is a pretty face and a beautiful heart so why you Rock-To-Work with your amazing fashion sense and great makeup and hair also wear a grateful and happy heart.

 

Always use hair shades that complement your skin tone. Our black beautiful skin can be pretty selective of colors so it’s important to not go overboard with hues. Our unique skin has unique tastes.

If you want to use purple or green or blue and you have a dark skin tone, use a dark hue of the preferred color, it would look amazing on you.

Females with fair skin tones can get away with basically any shade as every woman is beautiful in her skin and amazing in her own way.

Everything is about balance. Find the shades that suit you and rock it effortlessly.

Using tints or highlights of shades always look good too. Depending on what profession you are into.

For those who work in the bank or certain offices where your hair has to be moderate or less than you desire, shades of dark gold can go unnoticed, as long as you don’t go overboard with it and if you do, it  doesn’t clash with your company fashion style.

We wouldn’t want you to get fired over your hair now, would we?!

These hairstyles can be made using synthetic or human hair weaves. Though I’d opt for the human hair as it could be re-used on a rainy day unlike it’s synthetic counterpart that you use once only to throw away.

The price range for these hairs depends on where you buy it, the brand you buy, the length of the weave, and the quantity.

If you are working on a budget, N2000 can get you something chic and simple. You can also get for less or more, it’s all about how deep your pocket is at the time you want to wear the hair.

Price doesn’t include your hairstylists bill.

Bold colors such as purple make your hair loud so you’ll need to keep your makeup minimal so it doesn’t throw back at whoever’s glaring.

My point is,  excess makeup on a loud hair color wouldn’t enable your make-up come off as pretty as it should and anyone staring at you would be confused on how truly good-looking you are. When makeup is kept at a minimum, you would hit high mark.

Your lipstick can be a shade dark or bright, but your eye-shadow should be a natural or light hue.

The usual synthetic in the market go for four to eight inches at N500 to N1000 per pack while the human hair could go from N500 to N10,000 depends on the quantity and brand.

I wouldn’t use the term quality because there’re some not-so-pricey short-inch human hairs in the market that could give you the same result as the pricey ones.

Sometimes brand names take the weave price up a notch. Also note that if you are buying  from stores, the price is knocked up too as they have to pay rent, so they have to take it off you.

If you want to look great on a budget, the market could cut costs for you. But if those bills ain’t got you worried, well please shell out, you only live once, right?!

The most important thing for a dark-skinned female to note when choosing hair hue is that all it takes from going sassy to trashy is a shade.

Going over and beyond your necessary required hair tone can offset your look and make it seem like you were trying so hard but still failed at the attempt so ALWAYS use dark shades of bright colors, you could also combine two or three colors of various shades or just use highlights.

A pack would suffice if you want to make the body of the head of hair and want to brush up or just shave off the side and back-ends of the hair and Two to Three packs if you want to make the full head and want a full look.

For those with a round face, not all hair styles would suit that pretty face, but the full-front fringe will always suit your face. Like you’ll hit an A with this one. Make you look like a cute chubby doll.

If you want any of these hairstyles and you’re wondering how to rock it either side fringe or all back, or full front, just hold up the weave to the desired way you want it on your face to ascertain how it’d look on you before making up your mind so you could have an idea on how it’d suit you. That should do the trick and help with your selection.

Looking good is good business and you definitely want to make an impression at work this week sosave a snap of any of the hairstyles to show your hairstylist so he or she can have an idea of what you want to wear on your hair rather than just trying to describe it for them. They could get confused and make something else contrary to what you described and you wouldn’t like that. One time I had to loose an entire body of hair cos my hairstylist got it all wrong. Perfect waste of time, patience and money.

Have a great week and drop by next week for another Rock-To-Work inspiration.

THANKS,
