Hmm... as far as foods go, Jell-O will help your hair and nails grow longer and stronger, but you have to eat a LOT of it ;)

One thing that works well is pre-natal vitamins. You can get them over the counter at most pharmacies. After taking them for a month or so, you will be suprised at how much shinier your hair is and how much it's grown. Same for your finger nails.

Another trick I learned from a hairdresser is getting plenty of sunlight. Apparently UV-B rays make your hair grow faster. A tanning bed will work too. Personally, I don't recommend the UV-B method because of the damage to your skin - but it's your call.

Hope That Helps!

If it says MADE IN THE U.S.A. it's knock off. The real one's say "Louis Vuitton Paris, MADE IN FRANCE"

So you are correct. They are made in Paris (Which, by the way, is IN France.)

I would wear the pantyhose. As you recall, Tom did NOT wear fishnets in the movie, and I think it would throw the costume off.
One idea is to wear some tight flesh colored leg warmers over the pantyhose. This will both help you to appear less naked and help keep you warmer.
(Check Target for the legwarmers!)

BTW: That's a really cute costume idea!

Happy Halloween!

Use plastic wrap and section out the pieces of hair you want to be pink. Spray the sections pink and leave the plastic wrap on them until they are dry. I would shy away from aluminum foil because sometimes the alumninum reacts with hair products and alters the color. Professional colorists use 'foil' for highlights, but it's not made from aluminum. You can get professional foil at Sally's Beauty Supply if you want, but I think plastic wrap will be more cost effective.

Happy Halloween!

I have really thick hair, and sometimes have that problem when I work-out, or use an elastic that has lost it's elasticity.
I recommend replacing your hair bands once you've used them for about a month.
I use elastics called 'stay put' and they work REALLY well to keep your hair-up for a long time. You can get them at Target or Wal-Mart.

I don't think it's a cyst. It's possible the bump is just a little scar tissue (scar tissue will form any time you get a piercing, but it's more noticable on parts where the tissue is naturally thicker like your cartilage or your nose. It will go down and become less noticable when you've had the piercing for longer.) It could also be an infection. Make sure to keep it clean, and if it is a minor infection it should clear itself up.
If it doesn't go down in a couple weeks I would make an appointment to see your doctor and have them look at it just to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary.
Also - did the piercer tell you it was okay to change the jewelry so soon? It's been a long time since I've gotten a piercing, but two weeks sounds like a pretty short time to have the starter jewelry in.

I recommend Paul Mitchell Springing Curls. It's a fabulous curling mousse! When I want to make my hair curlier, I use Springing Curls - when I get out of the shower I put the mousse in my palms, flip my head over, and then scrunch the mousse into the hair paying special attention to the front and the top. The top because that's the hardest part to make curlier (since all the other hair is pulling it down.)
If your hair frizzes easily, I would try putting Frizzease serum in it before the mousse.

Hope that helps!

To make your hair look fuller I recommend Pantine Volumizing shampoo and conditioner. VO5 weekly hot oil treatments will do wonders for dry hair, as well not shampooing too often (try to keep it down to 3-4 times a week!)

As far as the split ends go, nothing will 'heal' them back together. You are going to have to cut them off to prevent further damage. Once the hair splits, the break will only travel farther and farther up the strand.

You should have you hair trimmed every 6 weeks. Not only will it get rid of split ends (and prevent more damage,) but having your hair trimmed regularly makes it grow faster - strange but true!

Good Luck!

Eeek! I hope you read this before you dye your hair!!

non permanent dyes do NOT always come completely out of your hair!! The color may fade a lot, but often people with light hair (like you) find that once they put any sort of color on it, the hair is tinted forever!!!

Because your hair is so light, I would stay away from black. No, I take that back, I would tell anyone to stay away from black, and here's why:

-black dye (permanent or no) is going to grab your hair and hang on. I once (okay, this happened twice) used semi-permanent black dye on my naturally light brown hair, and ended up having to have my hair stripped (a fate I wouldn't wish on anyone!) Very rarely does it come out on it's own! If you want very dark hair, stylists almost always recommend going with the darkest brown.


-Unless your hair naturally very dark (which yours isn't,) black hair WILL make you look creepy and sickly because of your naturally light skin tone, and eyebrows. (Both times I attempted to dye my hair black I was sure I would leave the bathroom looking like Jennifer Connelly - No such luck!)

If you are still bent on dying your hair here's a little trick I learned through years of color experimentation: if you want to fade the color use Head and Shoulders (or another dandruff control shampoo) and wash your hair until the water runs through it clear. The sooner used after dying, the better this will work!

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Having your hair trimmed every 6 weeks will help it grow faster (I know this sounds crazy, but it's true!)
Sunlight, and heat also help. Tanning beds are a suitable subsistute for natural sunlight.
Lastly, for your hair to grow you need to make sure you are getting plently of vitamins. Taking pre-natal vitamins will help your hair and nails grow longer and stronger faster. They will also make your hair super shiney. You can get them over the counter at most grocery stores, or vitamin stores.

Hope That Helps!

Eeeek! Don't put Tide in your hair... unless you want it all to fall out! Head and Shoulders, or other dandruff control shampoos will fade the color quickly, especially if used soon after dying.
One way to change your color without commitment, is to use a semi-perminant dye, or a glaze. Neither of these will change it the color drasticly, they will just tint your hair in the direction you want to go, and will wash out in about 30 shampoos.
By 'wash-out' I mean fade. Sometimes the color does not come-out completely... but it won't be as bad as if you use perminant dye.

Good Luck!
