I have long blonde hair with brown highlights and I’m sick of just wearing my hair down or in a low pony. I need some new, cute, hair styles for this school year and for picture day! I’m open to anything and be specific. Thanks!

I have dark blonde hair and I want light blonde (not that fake whitish looking light blonde, but still pretty light). I don’t want to ruin my hair though.

Hair cuts for women no matter your age, whoever, you are and whatever your lifestyle, there will at all times be moments when your feelings turn to the status of your hair. Well aren’t there?

Now let’s stare in that mirror! You know what hair is, you’re conscious it doesn’t always behave itself, but you’re no longer anxious of it. Hair is meant to be our highest glory after all, so let’s come to grips with it and make certain we can make it live up to that depiction.

The opening word of advice is don’t cheat. Are you sure that’s a vigorous sheen you’re looking at, or is it a outside layer of unwanted fat? Are you in fact blonde, or in fact, a slight shade of mouse? Is that last year’s perm or today’s “in” look? And, without being ruthless, should that dark re-growth really be there?

The more callous you can be with yourself the better. Look at what you have, considerably than at what you imagine you have. If your hair is fine, wispy or thin, admit it. There are lots of ways of giving it more depth or body. Just as, if you are fixed with thick, wiry hair, with a spirit of its own, don’t give up hope. Help is at hand on how to recognize and manage with your hair type.

When you’ve recognized the sort of hair you have and the kind of environmental surroundings it is probable to be subjected to, then you are half way there. If you come to a decision to make some changes, take into account your lifestyle and all the occasions you could be called upon to be in.

Consider out how much time and money you can manage to pay for to spend on your hair. Recognise your limits, and if you are sluggish or simply cannot afford too much time for your hair, your style should be one which will cause the least amount work and worry.

Look at the profile of your face and think about whether the new haircut you’d like will make you look younger or older. In conclusion examine the whole of you – figure, height, colouring, clothes and make-up – and modify your look to suit you from what is presently fashionable.

If this sounds like a lot to think about, don’t hurl a super de luxe tantrum, and no matter what you do, don’t scratch your hair out! None of us look picture perfect; not even the top models in Vogue or our favourite screen idols.

Some of the styles we see in photographs and crave to reproduce would be very difficult to sustain – day in day out – unless of course you had a hairdresser at your elbow all set to dance constant attendance …

If you do see a photo of a haircut that appeals to you, your hairdresser will notify you as to whether or not it would be realistic to duplicate it. But don’t look ahead to an identical result. Follow the sentiment and mood of the hair cut rather than the style itself and in the end you’ll maybe be happier, and look even better, than the model in the photograph.

If you’re interested in laser hair removal, it’s important, as a first step, to learn how it works. Laser hair removal technology is the use of an invisible beam of light and a constant source of heat that penetrates the hair follicle, disabling and then destroying it at its root while preserving the surrounding skin.

The procedure of removing unwanted hair is simply targeting the follicle and then directing the laser beam at its root. The hair removal process begins as the laser beam finds the hair follicle that it is targeting by first finding the melanin (the dark color of the hair).

Who can benefit from Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal works best on those people with dark hair and fair skin.

Melanin is also found in skin, so those people with dark skin either from suntans or by birth will not be ideal candidates for laser hair removal. Neither will red headed or light blond haired people — simply because the laser is solely attracted to the darkness of the hair.

Laser hair removal is most successful when the hair is in its anagen phase (the phase when a hair follicle is its active growth). This phase lasts several years — 85% of our hair is in that phase at any given time. During this phase, the hair is easily targeted and more easily destroyed.

Are there any problems with Laser Hair Removal?

Unlike other hair removal methods such as electrolysis, waxing and, of course, shaving, laser hair removal is the most state-of-the-art and high-tech method in removing unwanted hair for longer (and even indefinite) periods of time. It is the only proven method available for easily removing hair from mass areas of the body including back, chest, legs and face. Laser hair removal is effective, precise and cost efficient.

The laser simply and directly pinpoints the root of the hair and removes it from the body. Although the process is precise and beneficial, it can be irritating to the skin — therefore it is important that the surrounding skin be cooled with a gel, a spray or a cooling device throughout the procedure. These cooling systems prevent the laser beam from causing harm or discomfort to the surrounding skin.

Types of Lasers

There are currently four types of lasers used for hair removal:

* Alexandrite – such as the Candela GentleLase Plus

* Ruby – such as the EpiTouch or Epilaser

* Diode – such as the Coherent Light Sheer

* ND and LP ND Yag – such as the Candela GentleYag and the Altus Cool Glide

Each of these techniques is FDA-approved and proven effective, fast and safe methods for successful hair removal and permanent hair reduction.

What to look for

Although it is the work of the laser that removes the hair follicle, successful laser hair removal depends upon the skill and knowledge of the technician who manipulates and maneuvers the laser. That is, once the laser is selected, it is the mastery of the technician that will yield the best results.

Now let’s better understand the technique involved. Words like pulse, fluency and time are imperative to you, the consumer. These techniques will ensure that your experience is comfortable and effective.

For instance, long pulsed lasers are considered to be the safest. Energy and fluency levels of the laser can be specified depending on your personal skin type. The time allowed between pulses of light allows the skin and follicle to cool for longer periods of time, making your experience more pleasant. The size of the area on your skin’s surface affects the speed and penetration of the laser — a larger area allows the technician to go deeper into the root of the hair follicle, which can give you better results per session.

Laser hair removal is not a one-time procedure. But, in just a few sessions, you can feel like a different person. The power of the laser is unchallenged by any other hair removal method available.

I’m wondering how many people here are real blondes cause a lot of the ones that are seen/noticed are usually fake.

I am a blonde and i was wondering if blue eyeliner (not light blue but what is called midnight blue) or black or brown eyeliner would look better. I am wearing midnight blue eyeliner right now (it looks like a normal blue) but I want to make my blue eyes pop with the right color eyeliner. Please help me!
