An anti wrinkle face cream, used daily over a decade or two will make a marked improvement in the texture of your skin. If you are noticing lines around your eyes, nose and mouth you are definitely in need of immediate measures to hydrate, repair and rejuvenate your skin. Don’t wait another day to begin the new habits of a lifetime and reap long-term visible results.
Start a Diligent Routine
Whether you are 30, 50 or 70 a diligent routine using highly concentrated targeted ingredients to penetrate the 7 layers of human skin is your first imperative. A face wrinkle cream will have additional support for damaged skin over and above the run of the mill products labeled hand and body lotions. Faces are brutally exposed to sunlight, wind and drying frozen air over a lifetime. The facial skin will have particular issues with roughness, age spots and inflammation. Look for products that address these issues specifically.
Specially formulated facial fluids with advanced cell rejuvenation technology as their basis are available to get you started down the road to recovery. Reducing the loss of collagen and elastin will go a long way towards amending the damage done over years of neglect or misguided skin care. An anti-wrinkle face cream with active ingredients such as the antioxidant vitamins A,C and E is superior and effective.
How To De-Age Skin
De-aging of the skin is a life long commitment of time and resources. Don’t think you can occasionally rub on some generic formula with a lovely label and call it a day. No way. The day has come for grownup skincare. You are an adult and it is time to care for your face in an adult fashion. Kid stuff and acne medicines with drying synthetic ingredients such as alcohol and mineral oil are the enemy of supple, moist, radiant skin.
Aging Skin Repair
A face wrinkle cream designed to repair the effects of aging will contain natural oils, beta carotene and emollients clinically proven to penetrate deeply to plump up and nourish the unique cellular structure of our largest organ, our skin. Antioxidants and vitamins from plants are able to reduce oxidation from free radicals produced by our bodies in response to external and internal stressors. Raising the levels of amino acid proteins available to your skin with newly discovered types of keratin also contributes to skin firmness and elasticity.
Recent studies have identified that a Japanese sea kelp, Wakame, is instrumental in blocking enzymatic processes that destroy hyaluronic acid, a needed element for youthful skin. When this sea kelp, or algae, is combined with other concentrated natural vitamins, minerals and oils in anti wrinkle face cream, it can actually increase the levels of hyaluronic acid to levels not reaches for many years.
The time is now and the ingredients you need are available to you in safe natural anti wrinkle face cream.

Hair Replacement: You Get What You Pay For
The mythology of hair has come down to us through the ages – from Sampson, whose hair was his power, to Rapunzel, who lowered her locks down from the tower for the sake of true love. Hair is part of our personal mythology whether we like it or not. We attach much of our sense of self to our hair. That’s why, when Hair Loss occurs, through natural genetics or through some medical crisis, it can have a devastating effect on our self image.
Hair Replacement today is far different from hair replacement of years ago. But memories of bad toupees and wigs are still clear in our memories. Today, leading hair replacement experts have re-engineered hair replacement technology. Replacing lost locks today can be a seamless process with virtually undetectable results. However, as with all things, you get what you pay for. As good as the technology is, there are still many hair replacement companies on the internet that will make cheap imitations of the high end products.
First, it is critical that you know your own needs. There are hair replacement products to fit almost everyone, from those who have only patchy hair loss (there are Hair Extensions) to full medical alopecia (or complete hair loss) which might require a more extensive Hair System.
What are your options?
We’ve all seen the TV infomercials about surgical hair replacement. This all looks good: the idea that you could be done once and for all after a surgery and regrow thick, beautiful hair. But what is the reality? Nearly half of the potential surgical hair replacement clients are turned down because their donor hair follicles are not dense or healthy enough. Those that actually have the procedure are not always happy with the results. Rarely do they wind up looking like those people in the infomercials. Cost is another prohibitive factor for surgical hair replacement. It’s very expensive. And you must ask yourself if you’re willing to spend that kind of money without a guaranteed result? For most of us, the answer is no.
That leaves us with non-surgical hair replacement options. On the internet, you can Google many such "Hair by Mail" companies who promise wonderful hair systems that will be undetectable. They instruct you to measure your own scalp – good trick if you can master it – and make a pattern on a piece of paper. This pattern is what they use to fit your hair system to your head. But it’s certainly not an exact science. These particular hair replacement systems look as cheap and do not look natural. Even if they are made of human hair (and some are not) you will be responsible for cutting and styling the hair system to your taste. Not only will you have to attach it alone, but as the hair comes unknotted (and it does!) you will soon be left with thinning hair again and have no option but to toss this hair system and order another one. Even if it’s cheaper to begin with, it is not in the end, either cheap or satisfactory.

How To Cure Acne
hi.. I a ABG. I have some tips about Acne , possibly assists you create. please read
Since the skin is the largest organ on the body and it assists other major organs in the human body with eliminating waste, one of the best acne treatments for some people can simply be the choice of foods they eat. If you are unhealthy inside it will be reflected in your skin.Acne occurs when the natural oils that the skin produces gets clogged in the pores of the skin. Normally, acne is prevalent in the onset of puberty when the body starts to produce hormones, it has also been known to be a problem for women during pregnancy. Since acne is a problem for people world wide, there are many forms of treatment, products and medications on the market.
Many people claim that some simple diet changes can cure acne. When I was a teenager I had severe acne and tried using what were considered the best acne treatments at the time. Retin-A was one of the most popular prescription acne medications on the market at that time. Noxzema skin cream and Clearasil were some of the most popular acne products used among my friends and I. I learnt the hard way that alcohol should not be used as a home remedy for acne and with severe acne cutting back on processed foods replacing them with a healthy diet including lots of fruits and vegetables.
Eating fiber-rich foods like fruit and vegetables, wholegrains and cereals help to clean out your digestive tract. One of the reasons people get acne is because their colons are dirty. Undigested processed food and mucus over the years form really toxic stuff called mucoid plaque.
If you've had for many years a diet with regular servings of some of the following: Fried food, animal food (including dairy), sugar, tea or coffee, white flower, microwaved food, hydrogenated fats and drugs such as alcohol or aspirin then, you more than likely have mucoid plaque in your body. All sorts of nasty bacteria use these pockets of old feces as a breeding ground. One of these bugs, called candida eats sugars that it gets from your food and in return gives off really nasty chemicals in return that can cause all sorts of allergic reactions and skin conditions. Using diet as an natural acne treatment was not as bad as I had thought it would be. There are so many foods that act naturally as a home remedy for acne and are often the best acne treatments. At first I thought that it would be easier to just remember when to use acne medication or other acne products that I was using at the time rather than to give up on junk foods.
One of the best fiber-rich foods is called psyllium. You can buy psyllium husks from your local supermarket or health food store and you can easily mix a tablespoon into a glass of water and drink it. Psyllium husks is also the main ingredient on some popular laxative drinks like Metamucil. Moreover studies have shown that green tea is a very effective herbal treatment for those suffering from acne. Green tea is quite unique as compared to other teas in that it is not fermented. This useful herbal tea is steamed very quickly after it is harvested in order to keep all of its active ingredients in tact. Health care professionals have done many studies comparing the benefits of using green tea to treat acne as apposed to over the counter acne treatments. Those studies showed that green tea was just as effective in treating blemishes as its over the counter counterparts with the bonus of causing little irritation to the skin.
Natural Skin Care
hi.. I am cewek seksi, i have some tips Natural skin car for beautiful Skin
Everyone wants to look young and have great looking skin and in the process of pursuing the beauty that we all crave, would spend money on expensive beauty products that claim to have certain effects on our skin. It's not wrong to do so, but if there's a much better way to achieve the same or even better results on our skin by just using ingredients found right in your own kitchen, it's easy to make and cost just a few dollars, wouldn't it be great?
For instance, common ingredients you can find in the kitchen like an egg white, one package unflavored gelatin, 2 tablespoons of peppermint leaves and 1/2 passion fruit be used to make a firming facial mask. Whip the egg white using a mixer until stiff peaks form, then continue to whip while gradually sprinkling in the unflavored gelatin. Finely mince the peppermint leaves, mash the 1/2 passion fruit and add both ingredients gradually to the egg white, whipping until thoroughly combined. Apply to freshly cleaned face for 20 minutes and rinse well with warm water.
Some of you might scorn at the idea of using ingredients that you can eat and putting them on your face and body. But since ancient times, women already knew how to make use of natural ingredients to beautify their skins? One famous example is Cleopatra, who was well known for her beautiful skin. She was said to use goat's milk to tone her smooth skin.
There are many benefits of using natural skin care recipes. Apart from the fact that they are just as effective, there is the added comfort of knowing what exactly it is you are putting on your own skin. Beauty products available on the market contain chemicals, additives and preservatives which can have an adverse effect on our skin in the long run. Besides that, you are assured of its freshness if you prepared your own skin care recipes as they are used right after you prepared them. Your skin will obtain optimal benefits from the freshness of the ingredients. Using natural skin care products for your skin care regime is also cheaper as compared to buying off the shelf beauty products, thus imagine the amount of money you can save each year.
Although there are hardly any side effects from using natural ingredients for skin care, do take note that sometimes you may not know which ingredient is suitable for your skin type and can end up using one that causes you to suffer from some skin irritations if used wrongly or you may be allergic to certain ingredients. One way is to test small blobs of the mixture on the inside of your wrist for allergies before using it on your face or any other part of your body.
There are many homemade natural skin care recipes that you can experiment with. If used correctly, these common ingredients from your kitchen could be your key to having healthy and glowing complexion.

Beauty treatments
Massage for the body is a popular beauty treatment with various techniques offering benefits to the skin (with beauty products applied) and for mental wellbeing and relaxation.
Facial stimulate the skin, relax a client and also energize the face back into condition after exposure to daily weather.
Manicure is a treatment for nailcare, incorporating the cuticle.
Pedicure is a treatment for the feet, incorporating the toe-nails.
Beauty salons offer treatments such as waxing and threading for hair removal. Beauty Salons may include also all services, such as : Hair, nail, aesthetics, massage, solarium, etc.
Hairdressing
A hair salon (also called 'Hairdresser' and 'Hair Parlour')is a place where one goes to get their hair cut, as well as styled, highlighted or coloured.
There are many different types of hair salons that one can choose to go to. There are the traditional walk-in salons where you do not have to make an appointment, rather you just walk in and wait for the next available hairdresser. Another option is to call a full-service hair salon and make an appointment with a stylist of your choice. Some hair salons specialize in certain areas such as coloring, up-dos for formal occasions, cutting or styling. Which salon one chooses will determine the level of expertise being performed for the service.
Western cleaning products and methods
A more alkaline rated (meaning a high pH) shampoo is stronger and harsher to one's hair. This can mean that the hair will be left dry and brittle. Shampoos containing citric, lactic or phosphoric acid are most likely balanced. Oily hair might require a more acidic pH shampoo. Anti dandruff shampoos have been implicated in irritation of the scalp, and an increase in the production of dandruff. Anti dandruff shampoos may be available Over the counter or on prescription, based on the strength of the medicine. Dandruff, despite common belief, is more often related to too much, or an issue somehow with, sebum production and not dry scalp skin. Not all flakes are dandruff, and only a qualified physician can determine not only that one indeed does have dandruff; but also, what type of dandruff one may have. If one is experiencing redness of the scalp skin, bumps on the scalp skin, and any weeping from sores and/or bleeding in addition to flakes, professional medical diagnosis should be sought.
Conditioner choice is greatly dependent upon hair type and hair status, such as colored, permed, dry, and the like. Commercial conditioners contain a variety of ingredients such as plant oils, pro-vitamins, acidic compounds, plastics, stabilizers, thickeners, emulsifiers, and fragrances.
Conditioners may sometimes add weight to hair, creating an adverse effect in the shampooing/conditioning process. Some conditioners, especially those containing a silicone compound, may coat the hair and lead to build up on the hair, making it dull, and lead to harsher shampoo use; in a sense, an endless cycle of shampooing and conditioning. When used correctly, however, conditioners are helpful in temporarily coating the hair to increase shine and ease tangles.
Buildup is when the hair has a sticky or gummy feel, the conditioner choice seems to work less well, or the hair may be more prone to tangling. Buildup occurs when the minerals from water and/or products are not rinsed away during shampooing. A clarifying shampoo may be required to remove it. Clarifying removes all things on the surface of the hair strands, essentially leaving the hair without moisture. Failure of conditioning as part of a clarifying hair wash process may lead to excessive drying of hair.
Viable natural ways to condition the hair include rinses with lemon juice, lime juice, or vinegar. The use of acid rinses may assist those who have itchy scalps, depending on the cause for the itchiness. Hair which is lacking sebum may also be softened using plant oils such as olive oil and coconut oil.

Hair cleaning
To combat this appearance of “dirty” hair, and to remove actual dirt and other contaminants and external substances like sweat, the hair may be washed. Often hair is washed as part of a shower or bathing with a specialized soap called shampoo. Those with damaged or curly hair, or sensitive scalps, may benefit from cleansing with a light Hair conditioner, instead. However, this requires that only water-soluble products are applied to the hair and scalp.
Shampoo is helped by warm temperature water, which helps open the cuticle of the hair and release any oils or other substances beneath. Pure water has a pH of 7, and when shampoo has removed the slightly acidic sebum from the hair, the pH on the surface of the scalp is raised. Freshly shampooed hair can feel tangled or rough, and hair which is left to dry after a shampoo only can be excessively dry and coarse. To smooth the hair, Conditioner is often used. Conditioners may employ ingredients of an acidic nature to balance the hair and scalp pH. Many modern conditioners also contain plant oils or synthetic ingredients such as plastics to coat the hair shaft and smooth it out. Acidic rinses or chemical conditioners can help with hair detangling and manageability, which helps prevent damage.
The sebaceous glands increase or reduce their secretions in order to maintain proper skin protection and pH. When the skin is regularly stripped of its natural sebum, the sebaceous glands respond with an overproduction. People observe that they “must” wash their hair, for example, once every other day, otherwise their hair becomes oily; however, their sebaceous glands have simply adapted to their hygienic cycle. Changes to the hygienic cycle result in changes to sebum secretion.
Modern shampoos and conditioners are not necessary to maintain clean and healthy hair, and indeed, many cultures do not have these products at all. Different methods are available for those people who wish to return to this “natural” hair state, where healthy hair can be maintained with scalp massage, water-only washes, or using cleaning agents very rarely. Natural baseline sebum secretion varies by individual, and returning the scalp to this state takes time. This process may often include using cleaning agents, but is generally geared towards leaving the sebum on the scalp and hair for as long as possible to reacclimatize the scalp to producing less sebum. This process may not be for everyone, as some who try this method never reach a point where they feel their hair can be clean for any extended period of time without washing with conventional shampoo.
Using cold water as a final rinse can help close the scales of the cuticle, and can help constrict the openings of the sebaceous glands to help moderate sebum production.

Treatment Trichotillomania
Habit Reversal Training or HRT, has been shown to be a successful adjunct to medication as a way to treat TTM.[10] With Habit Reversal Training, doctors train the individual to learn to recognize their impulse to pull and also teach them to redirect this impulse. As a part of the behavioral record-keeping component of HRT, patients are often instructed to keep a journal of their hair-pulling episodes. They may be asked to record the date, time, location, and number of hairs pulled, as well what they are thinking or feeling at the time. This can help the patient learn to identify situations where they commonly pull out their hair and develop strategies for avoiding episodes.
Treatment with Clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, was shown in a small double-blind study to significantly improve symptoms.[11]
Fluoxetine (Prozac) and other similar SSRI drugs have limited usefulness in treating TTM, and can often have significant side effects.[12] According to F. Penzel, antidepressants can even increase the severity of the TTM

Types of hair
Human beings have three different types of hair:
* Lanugo, the fine hair that covers nearly the entire body of fetuses.
* Vellus hair, the short, fine, "peach fuzz" body hair that grows in most places on the human body in both sexes.
* Terminal hair, the fully developed hair, which is generally longer, coarser, thicker, and darker than vellus hair.
Texture
Hair texture is described as fine, medium, coarse or wiry, depending on the hair diameter. Within the four texture ranges hair can also be thin, medium or thick density and it can be straight, curly, 'kinky' (tightly coiled), or wavy. Hair conditioner also affects hair texture. Hair can be healthy, normal, oily, dry, damaged or a combination. Hair texture can also be affected by hair styling equipment such as straighteners, crimpers, or curlers. Also, a hairdresser can change hair texture with chemicals.
Hair is genetically programmed to be straight, curly, 'kinky' or wavy, and it can change over time.
For many years, it was believed that the shape of a person’s hair was determined by the individual hair shafts, and that curly and 'kinky' hair get their shape because the cross-section of the hair shaft was flatter and had more intertwined layers than straight hair, which was round. But scientists have determined that whether your hair is curly, 'kinky', or straight is determined by the shape of the follicle itself and the direction in which each strand grows out of its follicle. Curly and/or 'kinky' hair is shaped like an elongated oval and grows at a sharp angle to the scalp. This growth pattern, in turn, determines the cross-section of the shafts.
Curly and/or 'kinky' hair has a different biological structure from straight hair. It tends to be much drier than straight hair because the oils secreted into the hair shaft by the sebaceous glands can more easily travel down the shaft of straight hair. People with very curly hair may find that this hair type can be dry and often frizzy.
Hair, whether it is curly or straight, is affected by the amount of humidity in the air. It serves as a restoring force for the hair, forcing water back into the hair fiber and forcing hair shaft to return to its original structure. This may be more noticeable in somebody with curly hair because it tends to get frizzy when the humidity rises.
Context in which human head (and auxiliary) hair texture variation may have arisen
Evolutionary biologists suggest that the genus Homo arose in East Africa approximately 2.5 million years ago (Jablonski, 2006). During this time new hunting techniques were innovated (Jablonski, 2006). The higher protein diet led to the evolution of larger body and brain sizes (Jablonski, 2006). Jablonski (2006) postulates that increasing body size, in conjunction with intensified hunting during the day at the equator, gave rise to a greater need to rapidly expel heat. As a result, humans developed the ability to sweat and thus lost body hair to facilitate this process (Jablonski, 2006). Notably, Pagel et al (2003) argue against this hypothesis, stating that hominids without fur would not have been able to warm themselves as efficiently at night, nor protect themselves well enough from the sun during the day. However, it is likely that increased intelligence, combined with sophisticated hunting techniques, enabled humans to warm themselves at night using animal skins. Furthermore, assuming that hair loss evolved gradually, dark skin color likely developed to protect the skin during the day (Rogers et al 2004). Hence the former hypothesis concerning loss of hair via the evolution of sweat glands is still quite viable.
The evolution of 'Afro' hair texture
Jablonski (2006) agrees that it was evolutionarily advantageous for pre-humans (Homo erectus) to retain the hair on their heads in order to protect the skin there as they walked upright in the intense African (equatorial) UV light (Jablonski, 2006). In addition, axilliary hair (in the underarms) was likely retained as a sign of sexual maturity. During the process of going from fur to naked skin, hair texture putatively changed gradually from straight (the condition of most mammals, including humanity's closest cousins--chimpanzees), to Afro-like or 'kinky' (i.e. tightly coiled). This is supported by Iyengar's (1998) findings that the roots of straight human hair may act as fiber optic tubes that allow UV light to pass into the skin. However, it is notable that 'kinks' in fiber optic tubes are known to prevent UV light from passing through. In this sense, during the period in which humans were gradually losing their straight body hair and thereby exposing the pale skin underneath their fur to the sun, straight hair would have been an evolutionary liability. Hence, tightly coiled or 'kinky' natural afro-hair may have evolved to prevent the entry of UV light into the body during the gradual transition period towards the evolution of dark skin.
The re-evolution of straight hair texture among modern humans
According to the recent single origin hypothesis (the one most supported by the empirical data), anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) arose in East Africa approximately 200,000 years ago (Tishkoff, 1996). Anatomically modern behavior in terms of innovation in hunting instruments and artistic expression arose within the past 65,000-70,000 years in Africa. It was during this time that modern humans began to expand their range to regions outside of (and within) Africa (Tishkoff, 1996). Among those in the group who left the African continent, some migrated to northern regions such as central and northeast Asia. These groups initially faced a special dilemma. Their dark African skin and 'kinky' African hair, both of which had evolved to minimize entry of UV light into the body, were ill-suited to the weak sunlight of these regions. This is because, some time during the period in which humanity was in Africa, their skin had developed the ability to manufacture vitamin D (which was essential for bone development) upon exposure to UV light (Jablonski, 2006). However the UV light of northern regions was too weak to penetrate the highly pigmented skin of the initial migrants in order to provide enough vitamin D for healthy bone development. Malformed bones in the pelvic area were especially deadly for women in that they interfered with the successful delivery of babies. Hence, lighter skin gradually evolved to allow UV light into the skin (Jablonski, 2006). It is probable that, during the transition period from dark to light skin, the need for vitamin D grew so intense that the hair of these northerners simultaneously straightened so that UV light could pass into the body. This, again, is in accord with Iyengar's (1998) findings that UV light can pass through straight human hair roots in a manner similar to the way that light passes through fiber optic tubes. Furthermore, the need for the change from 'kinky' to straight hair is consistent with the fact that UV light cannot as easily pass through 'kinked' fiber optic tubes.
Aging
Older people tend to develop grey hair because their hair follicles produce less pigment and the hair becomes colourless. Grey hair is considered to be a characteristic of normal aging. The age at which this occurs varies from person to person, but in general nearly everyone 75 years or older has grey hair, and in general men tend to become grey at younger ages than women.
It should be noted however, that grey hair in itself is not actually grey; the grey head of hair is a result of a combination of the dark and white/colourless hair forming an overall 'grey' appearance to the observer. As such, people starting out with very pale blond hair usually develop white hair instead of grey hair when aging. Red hair usually doesn't turn grey with age; rather it becomes a sandy colour and afterward turns white. Some degree of scalp hair loss or thinning generally accompanies ageing in both males and females, and it's estimated that half of all men are affected by male pattern baldness by the time they are 50[5]. The tendency toward baldness is a trait shared by a number of other primate species, and is thought to have evolutionary roots.
Human scalp hair normally grows at a rate of 0.4 mm /day (incidentally human scalp hair grow at a rate four times that of human nails. Human nails grow at a rate of 0.1 mm/day). It is commonly claimed that hair and nails will continue growing for several days after death. This is a myth; the appearance of growth is actually caused by the retraction of skin as the surrounding tissue dehydrates, making nails and hair more prominent.
Pathological impacts on hair
Drugs used in cancer chemotherapy frequently cause a temporary loss of hair, noticeable on the head and eyebrows, because they kill all rapidly dividing cells, not just the cancerous ones. Other diseases and traumas can cause temporary or permanent loss of hair, either generally or in patches. Patients with Hyperthyroidism or Hypothyroidism can experience hair loss until their hormone levels are regulated.
The hair shafts may also store certain poisons for years, even decades, after death. In the case of Col. Lafayette Baker, who died July 3, 1868, use of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer showed the man was killed by white arsenic. The prime suspect was Wally Pollack, Baker's brother-in-law. According to Dr. Ray A. Neff, Pollack had laced Baker's beer with it over a period of months, and a century or so later minute traces of arsenic showed up in the dead man's hair. Mrs. Baker's diary seems to confirm that it was indeed arsenic, as she writes of how she found some vials of it inside her brother's suitcoat one day.
* Lanugo, the fine hair that covers nearly the entire body of fetuses.
* Vellus hair, the short, fine, "peach fuzz" body hair that grows in most places on the human body in both sexes.
* Terminal hair, the fully developed hair, which is generally longer, coarser, thicker, and darker than vellus hair.
Texture
Hair texture is described as fine, medium, coarse or wiry, depending on the hair diameter. Within the four texture ranges hair can also be thin, medium or thick density and it can be straight, curly, 'kinky' (tightly coiled), or wavy. Hair conditioner also affects hair texture. Hair can be healthy, normal, oily, dry, damaged or a combination. Hair texture can also be affected by hair styling equipment such as straighteners, crimpers, or curlers. Also, a hairdresser can change hair texture with chemicals.
Hair is genetically programmed to be straight, curly, 'kinky' or wavy, and it can change over time.
For many years, it was believed that the shape of a person’s hair was determined by the individual hair shafts, and that curly and 'kinky' hair get their shape because the cross-section of the hair shaft was flatter and had more intertwined layers than straight hair, which was round. But scientists have determined that whether your hair is curly, 'kinky', or straight is determined by the shape of the follicle itself and the direction in which each strand grows out of its follicle. Curly and/or 'kinky' hair is shaped like an elongated oval and grows at a sharp angle to the scalp. This growth pattern, in turn, determines the cross-section of the shafts.
Curly and/or 'kinky' hair has a different biological structure from straight hair. It tends to be much drier than straight hair because the oils secreted into the hair shaft by the sebaceous glands can more easily travel down the shaft of straight hair. People with very curly hair may find that this hair type can be dry and often frizzy.
Hair, whether it is curly or straight, is affected by the amount of humidity in the air. It serves as a restoring force for the hair, forcing water back into the hair fiber and forcing hair shaft to return to its original structure. This may be more noticeable in somebody with curly hair because it tends to get frizzy when the humidity rises.
Context in which human head (and auxiliary) hair texture variation may have arisen
Evolutionary biologists suggest that the genus Homo arose in East Africa approximately 2.5 million years ago (Jablonski, 2006). During this time new hunting techniques were innovated (Jablonski, 2006). The higher protein diet led to the evolution of larger body and brain sizes (Jablonski, 2006). Jablonski (2006) postulates that increasing body size, in conjunction with intensified hunting during the day at the equator, gave rise to a greater need to rapidly expel heat. As a result, humans developed the ability to sweat and thus lost body hair to facilitate this process (Jablonski, 2006). Notably, Pagel et al (2003) argue against this hypothesis, stating that hominids without fur would not have been able to warm themselves as efficiently at night, nor protect themselves well enough from the sun during the day. However, it is likely that increased intelligence, combined with sophisticated hunting techniques, enabled humans to warm themselves at night using animal skins. Furthermore, assuming that hair loss evolved gradually, dark skin color likely developed to protect the skin during the day (Rogers et al 2004). Hence the former hypothesis concerning loss of hair via the evolution of sweat glands is still quite viable.
The evolution of 'Afro' hair texture
Jablonski (2006) agrees that it was evolutionarily advantageous for pre-humans (Homo erectus) to retain the hair on their heads in order to protect the skin there as they walked upright in the intense African (equatorial) UV light (Jablonski, 2006). In addition, axilliary hair (in the underarms) was likely retained as a sign of sexual maturity.

Removal Methods
While many home remedies exist to attempt to remove the stains from skin, there are very few products distributed in traditional drugstore or discount channels for this purpose. The home remedies vary in effectiveness and carry the risk of skin irritation and abrasion as a result of excessive scrubbing, plus eye irritation if allowed to drip or run into the eye. Some of the more common home remedies include: bleach, ammonia, acetone, and rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is one of the active ingredients in one commercially-available product in drugstores, Fanci-Full™ Haircolor Stain Remover Towlettes [5].
The following are risks and warnings of the common removal methods:
Bleach
Traditional bleach contains chlorine and/or hydroquinone. Chlorine can irritate and burn skin, as can skin-bleaching products [6]. The FDA has proposed a ruling to remove all skin bleaching products from being available over the counter.
Ammonia
(ammonia is also contained in many hair dyes [7]): Hair colors containing ammonia have been safely used for years. However, it is not advisable to use cleaning ammonia to remove hair color stains, as the CDC reports that ammonia exposure can cause conjunctiva irritation of the eyes [8].
Acetone
Similarly, some people use acetone to remove hair color stains, or to remove petrolatum from the skin when it’s been used as a barrier to prevent stains (see below). However, the CDC reports that repeated and prolonged exposure of the eyes to acetone has the potential to cause permanent vision problems resulting from corneal clouding [9].
Rubbing Alcohol (Isopropyl Alcohol)
Concentrated isopropyl alcohol has been shown to irritate skin, and prolonged inhalation of the vapors can impair coordination and cause headaches [10]. A sensible alternative would be Fanci-Full™ Haircolor Remover Towlettes report, which was formulated specifically for removing hair color stains and contains water, consumer-acceptable levels of isopropyl alcohol, and other cleaning ingredients as a solvent or solubilizer of the dye. Directions warn to keep away from eyes [5]. While it may be an effective stain remover, it must be used gently to avoid abrasion of skin.

Waxing
Waxing is a method of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hair from the rootcause. It hurts. New hairs will not grow back in the previously waxed area for two to eight weeks. Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including eyebrows, face, bikini area, legs, arms, back, abdomen and feet. There are many types of waxing suitable for removing unwanted hair. If waxing is done regularly for several years, permanent hair reduction may be achieved.
Waxing is accomplished by spreading a wax combination thinly over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth[1] . This removes the wax along with the hair. Another method utilizes hard wax (as opposed to strip wax). In this case, the wax is applied somewhat thickly and with no cloth or paper strips. The wax then hardens when it cools, thus allowing the easy removal by a therapist without the aid of cloths. This waxing method is very beneficial to people who have sensitive skin.
Types
Various types of waxing are available. Some must be performed by a licensed cosmetologist or esthetician. The different types of waxing that can be performed are:
* Eyebrow waxing
* Bikini, Male genital, & Hollywood/Brazilian waxing
* Leg waxing
* Arm/underarm waxing
* Back waxing
* Foot waxing
* Chest waxing
* Entire body wax
Most parts of the body can be waxed, but other parts, not listed above are not given special consideration. Areas individuals should never wax include inside the ears and nose as well as eyelashes, eyelids, the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet. These areas are of particular concern due to sensitive skin that can be severely damaged if waxed. Areas of the body that should only be waxed by a licensed professional include the genitals and the nipples.

Bikini waxing
Bikini waxing refers to the removal of unwanted hair at the top of the leg, below the navel, and in the bikini area,[1] otherwise known as the bikini line, a euphemistic term generally understood to describe any pubic hair that is visible beyond the boundaries of a typical bikini swimsuit, sometimes including the forearms.[2] Other methods of hair removal, such as shaving, sugaring or using chemical depilatories creams are often used in place of waxing.
It is suggested that women started removing this hair when bathing suit styles became abbreviated enough to keep these areas uncovered, especially the term bikini line indicates a date later than the nuclear explosion at the Bikini Islands in 1946 and the introduction of swimsuits that followed.[2] Changes in lingerie styles and their popularity have encouraged year round waxing of the bikini area.[1] In Middle Eastern societies, removal of the female body hair is considered a proper form of hygiene, necessitated by ancient local customs
Types
Bikini waxing can be classified into three types[1][4][5] that has variable names depending on the salon visited.[6] It has been claimed that Brazilian waxing, the most renowned form, was named after the Brazilian sisters who delivered the service in New York, USA.[7]
American waxing refers to a removal of hair exposed at the top of the thighs and just under the navel when wearing a regular bikini bottom. It is also known as a basic bikini wax.[1][4][5]
French waxing leaves a vertical strip in front (a landing strip), two to three finger-widths in length just above the vulva. It is also known as a partial Brazilian wax.[1][4][6] Hair of the peri-anal area and labia may be removed. Removal of hair from these areas are also known as the Playboy wax[5] or G-waxing.
Brazilian waxing refers to a removal of almost everything, front to back except for a thin strip of hair on the pubis.[1][4][5][6][8] An extreme form of bikini waxing, it involves a complete removal of hair from the buttocks and adjacent to the anus, perineum and vulva (labia majora and mons pubis).[9][10] Waxes that completely remove the pubic hair are known as a full Brazilian wax, full Bikini wax, Hollywood wax or the Sphinx.[1][5][6] While mainly associated with females, genital waxing also has a male clientèle.[11]
The so called 'Full Brazilian waxing' is not particularly popular in Brazil, where it is sometimes considered extreme. For obvious reasons, there is no name or nickname for 'Brazilian waxing' in Brazil, since the English neologism was coined as a reference to the style or waxing technique used in the country. In Brazil 'waxing' is simply referred to as "depilação", and has different names to distinguish both the area of the body where the waxing is performed as well as the amount of hair to be removed. The full Brazilian Wax is sometimes just referred as "complete groin".[9][12] The waxing style which leaves a small strip of hair is known in Brazil as cavado, a word that means "to miss peripheral material" and is also applied to small bikinis. In Portuguese, "to wax" is depilar, which means "to remove hair" regardless of the method
