I've just bought some america dream hair extensions (real hair) is it ok to cut the strips up?

my hair is quite fine so i want to cut the strips into smaller sections to hide them better. They are real human hair extensions that you can clip in

Yup you can definitely do that. Remember; whatever you can do with you own hair, you can do with them. Best of luck, Princess Lola x

oh yeah, people do that all the time, thats how they streak their weaves... you can do that

Evolution...?

Why is it that when humans evolved women lost most of their hair while men still have hairy arms,chests and beards.



Does this mean that women evolved further than men?



Evolution...?

This is actually a complicated question.



The first thing you have to understand is that in evolution, often times selection for one feature leads to changes in another that are purely a byproduct. That is... the second trait isn't really favored, but it's linked to another trait that is.



Human females have been shaped by sexual selection (as have human males) for a very long time. One of the things that's affected females is that males tend to prefer "juvenile" traits in mates. You know... big eyes (also why mascara was invented), smooth round features, relative hairlessness, etc.



So what this means is that human males are/were more likely to mate with females that appear relatively juvenile. Well... mating with *actual* juveniles doesn't do any good from an evolutionary perspective. After all... pre-pubertal females can't conceive, and grow out of their pre-pubertal appearances. So males have a tendency to prefer females who reach sexual maturity early only because sexual maturity tends to bring about a cesation of growth. So if growth stops early, then the person tends to look more juvenile, which is to say... maintain many of those juvenile traits, like relative hairlessness.



In the real world, you can see this fairly easily. The more petite females around you *generally* exhibit relatively juvenile features (smooth foreheads, big eyes, round noses, etc.), while the larger women (say %26gt; 5'6") tend to exhibit more noticeable brow ridges (not a smooth forehead), more robust noses, and so on.



The last bit I'd like to mention is that none of this matters today. Sexual selection only really acts when there's a shortage of one or the other gender, and thus mate choice becomes a major factor. In today's population, we have just a few more females than males, so while statistically males have the ability to exert some choice and therefore pressure on females, it's a weak pressure at best.



Anyway, I'm sure you were joking, but no... females aren't "more" evolved than males, just more child-like (Note: I did *not* say child-ISH).



P.S. I modified this from an earlier post of mine on hair.



Evolution...?

Some of my research involves similar phenomena. I don't study it in humans, but I've read much of the literature on the subject. For more... Search: paedomorph, neoteny, heterochrony. Report It



Evolution...?

Yep!



Evolution...?

my guess is that less hair shows more flesh, especially fat, which is, for a woman, a good sign of fertility and ability to produce and feed infants.



Evolution...?

It might have something to do with the hormones lol!



just as well women lost their hair, have you seen a hairy woman? its unsightly!!



Evolution...?

It is related to hormones (take them from a bottle and you can change how you look) and probably selective breeding (men liked women with less hair, women liked men with more...)



Evolution...?

In truth women are just as hairy the difference being mens hair is courser and thicker hence more visible it has nothing to do with the evolutionary scale it has more to do with ethnicity ie. african, european etc...



Evolution...?

Humans evolved with the female raising the children and the males doing the hunting and protecting. That allowed females to be selected more for appearance and other fine qualities. With males, it helped to be the baddest around to maintain the ability to protect. It seems only natural that you would get females looking so good relative to the men who are more like jeeps %26lt;Elaine%26gt; in that they are more functional.



Evolution...?

It certainly means women were here first. The evolutionary choice for two sex's was to improve the specie and produce greater variety. Before this, all animals produced by parthenogenesis.



Some years ago, during a hot dry few million years, many animals went into the sea. Some of them stayed there, and the signs of any lengthy aquatic stay are greater intelligence, huge growth - loss of hair and a covering of fat. It's logical to assume the introduction of males came after the planet cooled, so our mate is a throwback to the original pre-oceanic ape. Not as strong, not as long lived and prone to genetic disorders of that gender, and also the highly specialized disorder of autism. It is not discussed in mixed company, that the main complaints women have about men, are identified as mild autism.

How often should i bathe a dog?

I have a yorkshire terrier and he has longer hair but not not very long. I know i shouldn't wash it with human shampoo but i dont know how often i should wash my adorable black and brown puppy. I feed him purina and they say that it makes their hair shiny so i assume... anyway how often should i bathe a dog?



How often should i bathe a dog?

Bathe a dog on average every 4-6 weeks.



You can do it more often if they get filthy, like they roll in mud or manure. You can also do it less often if they are cleaner and don't look dirty or smell.



Once a week is too often though, because it strips the natural oils off the coat and dries out the skin.



---



As far as the dog food goes, I would recommend switching off of Purina. It's not high quality, and your dog will be healthier and have an even nicer looking coat if it's on a better dog food!



Read the ingredients on the food you buy. Go with a high quality dog food. A grain should not be in the first couple ingredients ingredient (corn and such are mainly fillers, dogs don't digest it well). Avoid foods that have a lot of "by products" listed.



Here is an article about byproducts: http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?...



** Some good foods are : Merrick, Solid Gold, Canidae, Timberwolf, Orijen, Wellness, Chicken Soup brand, Innova/EVO, etc.. **



Or check this website for good foods: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_...



(I recommend only feeding foods rated 4, 5, or 6 stars. Anything 3 stars or less, I would stay away from.)



Beware "premium" foods. "Premium" does not mean good nutritionally, and is not a nutritionally high quality food. It has the same types of ingredients as grocery store foods, just a bit better quality of those not-so-good ingredients. Premium foods are those like Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, etc..



Another thing to be wary of: A lot of vets will recommend what they sell in their office. They get profit from the brands they keep on their shelves, that's why they push it. Truth is, vet schools don't focus a lot on nutrition. It's not saying that a vet is a bad vet because he recommends those foods, a lot of vets just are told "this is good food", so they pass the message along without proper nutrition knowledge. Also, some dog food brands (like Hills) support vet schools, so vets have heard of it from the time they start college, which makes them think it's good as well.



It may seem like quality foods cost more, but in the end, it evens out. With a high-quality food, you don't have as many fillers. Also, with a high-quality food, your dog will eat less and poop less. So while that bag of higher-quality dog food looks expensive, your monthly feeding bills won't increase much.



When switching foods, do it slowly. I do this over about a two week timespan:



25% food A, 75% food B



50% food A, 50% food B



75% food A, 25% food B



100% food A



How often should i bathe a dog?

Once a week



How often should i bathe a dog?

we have two jrt's and we bathe them once a month. we normally use baby shampoo. it is super gentle. we use Johnson's detangling formula. it works!



How often should i bathe a dog?

How often does he get dirty? As a rule of thumb about every 6/8 weeks, more often if you keept his coat in show trim. Speak to your breeder for best advice.



How often should i bathe a dog?

I also have an adorable Yorkie. When I first got him as a pup the book said not to bathe them too often as their coat needs the oil that they produce. I keep "Yoda" with a puppy cut except for the winter when it's really cold so his hair doesn't get all matted etc. However, this critter pees walking on his 2 front feet 90% of the time so I have to bathe his under belly at least once a week as he gets it wet while peeing. The extra baths don't seem to have affected him in the least.



Good Luck.



How often should i bathe a dog?

Once a week!!! Anymore than that you can cause their skin to become irritated resulting in dry, flaky skin. Dont wait 3 weeks, do you want your dogs to stink. Dogs love to be clean, even if they dont enjoy the bath part.



How often should i bathe a dog?

Bathing your dog depends on what do you want. If you have it as a pet a twice in a month should be enough. I you want to grow the hair then you'll have to bath it once a week oil it and wrap the hair. The only foods I know improves hair shine is ANF and eukanuba (puppy).



Finnally, You should read this web page: http://jonanyorkies.com/ (Yorkie Coat Care).



These is a great sources of information about this beautiful Breed.

How often should i bathe a dog?

i have the same dog and i bath him once a week

What's the difference between Sleek Yaki and European hair weaves??

just wanted to kno the difference between the two like r they both 100% human hair ...



AND i saw Sleek Luxury 100% Human Hair its abit thinner but is it the same as the European??



x.X.x



What's the difference between Sleek Yaki and European hair weaves??

Ok... yaki hair may say that it is 100% human... it's not. I have been specializing in weaves for a long time. They DO mix other hair in with it.... Think about it this way. How many BLACK women would grow their hair out 20 inches and then cut it to sell? Not many. The ones who would need the money, don't have the hair. Now, most european hair, is not going to blend very well with black hair. So they mix it to make yaki. I would suggest the Bohyme hair also. It is ethnic hair so it is more coarse than european hair, but not quite as coarse as black hair. With a good relaxer or flat iron with smoothing serum to your own hair you should not have problems blending. Hope this helps



What's the difference between Sleek Yaki and European hair weaves??

yaki is more for black folks texture.... get the bohyme remi hair.. its the best!



What's the difference between Sleek Yaki and European hair weaves??

yaki is slightly coarser in texture to resemble relaxed african american or coarser hair types. european is designed to match caucasian or silkyer hair types, its softer and sleeker, however because its softer, it breaks down faster. i cant answer your question about whether the sleek luxury is european or not without analizing the texture.

Styling my hair takes too long: where can I get real-looking wigs?

I know Jessica Simpson wears wigs all the time, but her's look real. I know they might be $$$, but I also don't want real human hair on my head anyway. If anyone knows of a good website or something, I'd appreciate that info~ Thanks!



Styling my hair takes too long: where can I get real-looking wigs?

Call a Beauty Supply store

Illegals and Money?

Is this right?



FYI



A conversation between a Customer and Bank of America Bank:



The Bank: Bank of America, can I help you?



Customer: Yes, I want to cancel my account. I don't want to do business with you any longer.



The Bank: Why?



Customer: You're giving credit to illegal immigrants and I don't think it's right. I'm taking my business elsewhere.



The Bank: Well, Mr. Customer, we don't want to see you do that, but we can't stop you. I'll help you close the account. What is your account number?



Customer: (gives account number)



The Bank: For security purposes and for your protection, can you please give me the last four digits of your social security number?



Customer: No?



The Bank: Mr. Customer, I need to verify your information, but in order to help you, I'll need verification of who you are.



Customer: Why should I give you my social security number? The reason I'm closing my account is that your bank is issuing credit cards to illegal immigrants who don't have social security numbers. You are targeting that audience and want their business. Let's say I'm an illegal immigrant and you've given me a credit card. I have a question about it and call for assistance. You wouldn't be asking me for a Social Security number, would you?



The Bank: No sir, I wouldn't.



Customer: Why not?



The Bank: Because you would have pressed '2' to speak in Spanish. We don't ask for that information when calling in on the Spanish line.

Illegals and Money?

very well done ! !!! Im sooooo sick of whats going on in my town and other towns around here!! They Are Allover the place! 12 midnight you wouldnt dare go up town ! 10 years ago we had a nice town now its over run with these illegals,liveing 10 to 20 people in one apartment!!!and the town does nothing about it because most of these places are owned by bigshot doctors and politicians!!!!! one large town about 20 miles away ,the mayor was rounding these illegals up and arresting and deporting them ! But some group put a stop to that ! Im angry, America is not the same anymore and its going to be the end of what we knew as America ! DRUGS ,PROSTITUTION,RAPES,GANGS,Did not America not long ago do ok without these illegals! lots of people say well at least the illegals take all of the crummy jobs! WHO was doing these crummy jobs BEFORE they were here! WE DID !!There are alot of people angry in America about this! and its going to get alot worse !! I am a peaceful and law abideing CITIZEN ,and DOCUMENTED!!



Illegals and Money?

All I have is %26lt;3 for this!



Illegals and Money?

We're on the same page. This makes me furious and is EXACTLY why I no longer deal with Bank of America.



Illegals and Money?

I'd love to see the libs try to argue these facts. Great job!!!!! I've copied your selections and have emailed them to everyone in my address book. Thanks for putting everything in one convenient place.



Illegals and Money?

You made my day with that thing about BofA. I really needed a chuckle even though this is a really serious subject.



This is why we can't elect a pro-amnesty candidate and not re-elect the weasels in congress that supported the Senate's pile of horse poo!



Did you hear that BofA is raising their ATM fees for non-bank customers to $3? Maybe this is to help make up for all the money they lost on all those bad loans to illegals.



Illegals and Money?

Once again, a slap in the face to the American people. What makes me even MORE pissed is the fact that I have to give them MY social security number so that they can run MY credit to see if I qualify for a mortgage. My credit isn't good enough, so I can't buy a home, yet they give these illegals loans for homes. It's an injust act of disregard for the government to treat it's law abiding citizens with such disrespect!



Thank you for your informative question.



Illegals and Money?

This doesn't surprise me. I have no problem with anyone coming here for a better life, but the same rules need to apply to everyone. If I need to be legal to work in this country, so should an immigrant. If I need a SSN to get a bank account (or anything else for that matter), so should an immigrant. If I need car insurance and a driver's license to drive legally, so should an immigrant. If I am required to pay taxes on a business, so should an immigrant (they get 7 years tax-free). I wouldn't to move to another country and expect their government to give me free benefits at their citizens' expense, have everything written in English for me, and rearrange their culture to accommodate me...



Illegals and Money?

It's even easier than that someone call them said they were me%26lt; tranfered funds tryed to wright checks that wern't mine%26gt; And wouldn't tell me how they did it%26gt; %26amp; would prosicute the guy when caught%26gt;



Illegals and Money?

I actually closed my Bank of America card for this reason only. Should I say Bank of Erica since they are not being the American way. Stop supporting the business's that support illegals.



Illegals and Money?

If the illegal alien influx continues, they will bankrupt the lower and middle economic classes in the US. The super-wealthy will grow richer. Hmmm...that sounds like Mexico.



What will they do then? Move on to Canada? Then Europe?



Don't forget another aspect...disease spread by unscreened illegal aliens.

http://www.jpands.org/vol10no1/cosman.pd...



Now Mexico has protested that illegal aliens who return there are spreading HIV there. From drug abuse, perhaps?



Sealing the border would benefit both nations from a health standpoint then. It would also force Mexico to resolve it's own problems.



Illegals and Money?

The answer to this thing will be to legalize all of them and make them pay taxes let`s face`it US is big enough for anybody they are so many places that are deserted because people congregate in the surrounding of big cities .Except for native Indians everybody here is a immigrant so stop being so racists. Any Pearson is entitled to a better life



Illegals and Money?

well how do you propose we resolve these issues? hmmm????



the answer is AMNESTY for all illegal immigrants who pay their taxes and have no criminal record.



Alot of Illegals CANT learn English, because they live in large cities like miami, NYC and LA where the communities are open to bilingual speakers.



And alot of English teaching centers require certain documentation, that they can't provide.



I know many illegals from different south american countries, they PAY their taxes. Most of them don't have credit cards. Nor are they able to drive. They work in the hotel and restaurant businesses and work REALLY HARD.



The funniest part is that there are MILLIONS of LEGAL AMERICANS born here, who have TWO ARMS AND TWO LEGS, and are able to work, but prefer to just live off welfare and beg for money. Because they were lucky enough to be born in a country that allows it.



Healthcare needs to change in this country, that is a given.



We cannot deport everyone that is unrealistic, and no matter what you think or say that fact is that they will not leave. period.



The whole press 2 for "spanish" thing is RACIST.



My grandparents came from Cuba and Spain, worked their asses off, for 18 years and created a thriving Design Business. And they never learned English.



They wish they could, but they were too busy working, so that their daughters could go to college and be successful business owners.



Next time you go to a restaurant, while you sit and eat, think about who cooked it for you. asshole.

Someone please show me how skin colour evolved over time.?

i want to see pictures of how skin colour evolved from chimpanzees to curent day humans. Not just skin colour but also hair on skin. the whole works



Someone please show me how skin colour evolved over time.?

I think you are looking at it from the wrong prospective, I wouldnt look at the melanin correlation in chimps or other great apes as to humans. Melanin is the pigment in our skin that helps protect us from the harmful Uv radiation that is present in our everyday lives.



"Dermal melanin is produced by melanocytes, which are found in the stratum basale of the epidermis. Although human beings generally possess a similar concentration of melanocytes in their skin, the melanocytes in some individuals and races more frequently or less frequently express the melanin-producing genes, thereby conferring a greater or lesser concentration of skin melanin. Some individual animals and humans have no or very little melanin in their bodies, which is a condition known as albinism." Wiki.



Therefore, you would see that certain races where melanin was more needed due to their living conditions would have more genes that would express the pigment. If you look at the trend of the globe, enviroments that arent on the poles or on the equator tend to have lighter skinned individuals.Its because they arent getting the direct sunlight/uv radiation that the people on the poles or the equator are getting.



Now there is also the fact that there are different races of human and that these races tend to express pigments very differently from eachother. Such as why chimps are lighter skinned than gorillas... (not exactly a great example, but it will do) over long periods of time natural selection causes fluctuations in these trends, and now that we are seeing increased radiation, those that have stronger forms of melanin and a smaller predisposition to cancer tend to "pass on their genes" or have better reproductive success. Now, this is all relative and I could probably go on for hours about it, but in todays society since we arent nomadic / are particularily sedentary, if you tend to have darker or lighter skin colors it is due to your heratige.



Someone please show me how skin colour evolved over time.?

No! Get it right the first time!



The joke goes...



God! Why is my skin so black?



*To protect you from the sun my child!



God? Why is my hair so kinky and close to the scalp?



*To protect it from the high vines and brambles!



God? Why are my nostrils so big?



*To accept enough oxygen in the thin air!



God? Than what the God Damn Hell an I doing in Washington D.C.?



God! To force a democracy! A Republic would work, and much of those in government say If it works...Change It!



Someone please show me how skin colour evolved over time.?

OK first off we did not evolve from chimps all great apes including man had a common ancestor and proceeded down different evolutionary roads, if your teacher said differently he/she is an idiot and should not be teaching biology. and what you are asking for is impossible, scientists are still looking for fossil records for proof of evolution. how would we have pictures of something that occurred millions of years ago? and human skin variation among humans is a result of different adaptations to climate. dark skinned people with wide nostrils developed in equatorial regions with intense direct sun exposure and high temperature. dark skin for protection from the sun and large nostrils and sinus cavities to cool the brain. light skin evolved when humans spread to climates were the intensity of sunlight was less they had to lose melanin (pigment in skin) in order to get enough energy for vitamin D production and smaller sinus cavities to conserve heat in the colder climate.
