What should I wear to a beach bon fire tomorrow night?

Q. I'm visiting my brother and sister in law in northern Cali and we are having a bon fire tomorrow night at 6 pm. The weather is gonna be a little cool, 62 degrees and most likely cloudy. I'm going to meet a lot of my brother's friends and I am seeing some old friends of mine that I haven't seen in a while so I want to look nice. I'm planning on a wavy beach look with a front french braid for my hair like this http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.coveringsmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/wavy-hair-with-braid-beach-hairstyle.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.coveringsmagazine.com/waves-braids-coverings-favorite-summer-hairstyles/3289/2011/05/02/&usg=__MG0658BCMemwmiPzTaEX9XKL0_A=&h=501&w=729&sz=287&hl=en&start=14&zoom=1&tbnid=ENT2iw0qBtfsoM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=199&ei=e_4oTpTCLIWWsgPar4nmCg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dwavy%2Bbeach%2Bhair%2Bwith%2Bbraid%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1024%26bih%3D667%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=148&vpy=289&dur=1592&hovh=186&hovw=271&tx=204&ty=130&page=2&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:14&biw=1024&bih=667

A. Nothing show the beauty of your body


How can I style my hair like this?
Q. I had cut my hair over a year and a half ago to a bob-length style that hit just above my shoulder. I let it grow out a bit and by that upcoming summer it was just about at my collar bone. Now, my hair has grown about 5 inches since then. Is that fast hair growth? How can I help my hair grow another 5 inches by summer 2011? And also, how can I style my hair to look like this? http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.taaz.com/beauty/images/stories/megan_fox_hairstyles_how_to_get_sexy_megan_fox_hair.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.taaz.com/beauty/celebrity/hair-and-makeup/megan-fox-hairstyle.html&usg=__StST02I9r_Dh1WrpXDBWh4cU5h4=&h=400&w=300&sz=24&hl=en&start=27&zoom=1&tbnid=rIIm4D3mSzX9sM:&tbnh=131&tbnw=95&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmegan%2Bfox%2Bhairstyles%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D591%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C684&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=452&vpy=200&dur=629&hovh=259&hovw=194&tx=106&ty=148&ei=MaSGTPGBD4KC8gbPkuGHCg&oei=-qOGTMvEK4KC8gbM_Jhi&esq=6&page=2&ndsp=27&ved=1t:429,r:21,s:27&biw=1280&bih=591 Or is it not long enough yet?

I also have layers in my hair that are at they're shortest at shoulder length. I Have natural wavy-curly hair too.

A. To style your hair like Megan's, just apply a sea salt spray to your hair when damp and blow dry with a large round brush to make your hair straight, but texturized/beachy.


What are hairstyles for black women in the summer heat?
Q. Ok so I don't want to wear weave and I don't have a perm so my hair doesn't stay straight in the summertime. I want cute hairstyles that I can manage myself wit my shoulder length hair. Any suggestions?

A. Google: "Why Viola Davis Ditched the Wig at the Oscars"

I do not recommend weaves or perms which causes cancer.
HAIR WEAVES & BRAIDS: Some hairstyles, including tight braids and weaves, may increase the risk of developing an irreversible form of scarring hair loss, according to a new study in the Archives of Dermatology.
Seen predominately in African-American women, this type of hair loss, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, centers on the vertex (crown) of the scalp and spreads peripherally.
�Any style that causes too much tension and traction on the hair, such as braiding with artificial hair weaved in, can possibly lead to scarring hair loss,� says study author Angela Kyei, MD, a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.
In the study, 326 African-American women answered questionnaires about their hair-grooming methods, health status, and other demographic information. Dermatologists then performed a scalp examination to grade hair loss.
Nearly 60% of the women showed signs of advanced central hair loss with scarring. The women were also more likely to have type 2 diabetes and bacterial scalp infections, and sport hair styles associated with traction, including braids and weaves, the study showed.
�But hair loss is permanent, meaning that we can inject steroids or creams but it won't bring your hair back, so it�s very important to seek help with dermatologists early on,� she says.

Hair straighteners are known as hair relaxers, keratin treatments and hair-smoothing products. They work by breaking and reforming the chemical bonds in keratin, which is the main protein that gives shape to each hair.

> > > > BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT HAD BEEN BANNED by the Food & Drug Adm. Sept. 12, 2011.

Google: keratin treatment warnings. About 1,980,000 results (0.17 seconds) 1-23-12. and Google: Lawsuits Brazilian Blowouts. About 1,010,000 results (0.24 seconds) 
Five months ago, the federal government put out a hazard alert about the hair-smoothing treatment, Brazilian Blowout etc. warning that it contains liquid formaldehyde that can turn into formaldehyde gas when heated during a treatment. Now, the company's bottles of solution carry a warning label to alert stylists to the potential formaldehyde risk and the need to perform the treatment in a well-ventilated area. The manufacturer said Monday (3-6-12) that it had agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit for about $4.5 million.

Hair-straightening products are allowed to contain small concentrations of formaldehyde (0.2 percent). But several hair-straightening solutions have been found to contain well above the allowable limit. For example, one popular hair-straightening product that advertised itself as �formaldehyde-free� actually contained 6.8 percent to 11.8 percent formaldehyde.

BTW: A variety of hair-straightening products used in professional salons can expose both hairdressers and their customers to formaldehyde. The results show that three professional hair-smoothing treatments labeled "formaldehyde free" can produce the cancer-causing chemical at concentrations above the occupational exposure limits set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. They tested four products: Coppola Keratin Complex Blonde Formula, Global Keratin Juvexin Optimized Functional Keratin, La Brasiliana Escluso Keratin Treatment with Collagen, and Brazilian Blowout Acai Professional Smoothing Solution. While ChemRisk tested four popular brands of hair straighteners, there are hundreds on the market. Nov. 11-11

By contrast, beauty salon owners and stylists generally lack a scientific background and don't have a keen awareness of the danger of working with products that contain formaldehyde, experts say.

Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.

Can everyday damage make curly hair curlier and kinkier?
Q. It seems to have happened to me. I was wondering because I am planning on shaving my head this summer to start fresh, but the amount of curl in my hair is making me think that maybe I shouldn't do it in case it grows out really curly. So when my healthy hair grows out, will it likely be less curly?

A. Using heat damaging tools will definatley make hair frizzy, kinky and look pretty bad. Instead of shaving your head, you can use large to jumbo sized rollers, which will make your hair look much nicer. User the plastic type of rollers. Roll your hair when it is wet with hair gel.


The best and popular method for today�s modern styles, especially with hard to curl or really curly, straight, fine, thick or frizzy hair, is to use rollers. Young gals are now using rollers to achieve the modern styles that you see around now. Heat tools are terrible for your hair and cause damage. The big companies that manufacture their hair appliances want to convince you that their heat generating hair appliances are better, because they make lots of money from them. There are different types of rollers, depending on what you want to achieve and your hair type. The popular roller types are Velcro, plastic, and brush. You can also use sponge rollers for sleeping. For volume or straightening, use large to jumbo sized. For some curl, try using medium sized rollers. If you want volume on the top and curl below, use large rollers on the crown and medium sized rollers on the sides. Roll your hair wet with some styling get and secure the rollers with clips.
. To dry your hair quickly, use a bonnet type of hair dryer, or just let them air dry. Many gals roll their hair at bedtime and take them out in the morning, which makes styling really fast.
.
Take a look at my profile picture. It only took me 15 minutes to set my hair in rollers at night, then 20 minutes in the morning to remove the rollers and style it out. You can do the same thing for any hairstyle you would like. Have some fun and try different styles!! Don�t get discouraged. It takes some patience at first with putting the rollers in neatly.

You can get rollers at store like walmart, but they sell out quickly because they are so popular now. You can also buy them online.
