Hair Extensions
You may think that models and celebrities are born with a full luscious head of long hair. The truth may be a little difficult to accept, but many use hair extensions to pull off that illusion of beauty. Hair extensions are a viable way to increase the length of your hair, but you have to be a little knowledgeable before you go out and do it. Choosing a poor hair extension product or procedure can cause loss of hair (your own and the extension), loss of money, and loss of time.

Propecia and Hair Loss: Yes or No?
If you are losing your hair, you may be wondering whether to use Propecia or not. Propecia is a drug used to treat hair loss, but it can have some serious side effects, particularly for pregnant women. Propecia will cause birth defects in unborn fetuses and women are told not even to handle the tables so that it does not become absorbed through the skin when they are pregnant. There also appears to be some evidence that it is not effective on post-menopausal women. However, for men it is still a tool in the arsenal against hair loss. The product has been shown to work approximately for half of the men, who use it, but use must be continued long-term or the hair loss comes back.

Laser Hair Removal
It may be a well-kept secret but as women age sometimes they get a few stray hairs, not always on their hairline. Whether the hair is on your chin, your bikini area, or just a mustache that appears to have grown thicker, you can get it removed permanently using laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is the state-of-the-art way to remove hair and it is somewhat painless. The procedure takes multiple sessions and can be more expensive than depilatories and shaving, but it is supposed to make the hair sparser each time, until it is finally gone. There is no guarantee that it is a permanent hair removal procedure, and the FDA only approves it as a hair reduction procedure.

How To Choose The Right Hair Brush
You may have heard that a boar bristle brush is the best brush to get and use on your hair. This doesn’t really take into account the type of hair you have. The hairbrush you select should match the type of hair you have, whether it’s curly or straight.
