What hair color best suits a girl with beige skin and green/hazel eyes?

I don’t really like red for me. So would I look best as a blonde or brunette? I have no pictures. Sorry.

Answer

Ive seen thins before, but Chocolate brown hair, or deep coffee will make your eyes so pretty. and to make it better….you could put in dark red lowlights. i think its the most perfect thing for the way you explained your look

What hair color goes best with green eyes and paler skin?

I had been dying my hair black for about 4 years but have recently stopped dying it for probably about a year. I have naturally blonde hair and so about half of my hair is the natural color, but at the tips there is still the black. I did not want to use a hair color remover on my hair because i heard that can be damaging, so i’m just waiting until enough of my hair is blonde that i can cut off the rest of the black. I have pretty light skinned hair and green eyes and my hair does have a reddish tint to it. It’s kind of like this color

but maybe just a little blonder and i also have pretty much the same color skin as the girl in the picture. I don’t really like having blonde hair and would like to dye it something else. I liked the black hair color but i thought it might have been a little harsh for my skin tone. I like burgundy hair color like this

but i dont know how that would look on someone who is paler and also with green eyes.

What kind of hair colors go best with green eyes and paler skin? I am looking for a nice change, maybe a brown but i dont know what to pick and would like some advice, thanks!

Answer

Red and green are complimentary colors, meaning that when they are next to each other they make each other look brighter then if they were next to any other color.

Go with red if you want your eyes to stand out.

The best way to strip hair color?

I have naturally dirty blonde hair. I have it colored black right now and it has been for about a year and a half. My hair is long thick and curly. I want to lighten my color to a light brown.

Answer

What hair color would suit me best? ?

….I feel like i look ugly

my friends call me ugly….well not ugly, but they always tell me to improve…almost everything….

i think i should change my hair….or not?

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t27/t… thats my pic….PS: my hair is longer now….about up to my breast line

Answer

A slightly darker brown would go well in your hair, however don’t go too much darker or lighter as it may be too much change, too fast. I would suggest a chocolate brown, then maybe a few blonde foils in the front over the top of it.

I think you look beautiful, and if you’re friends can’t accept you for who you are then they’re either jealous, stuck up or just plain mean. Be proud of who you are and know you are *not* ugly, but sometimes it is nice to have a change.

Best hair colour for me?

i have naturally light brown hair but over the past couple of years i have put lots of blonde highlights in it. some of my hair is now nearly peroxide blonde and other parts middle blonde, with the underneath my original hair color. I’m thinking about a change. i was thinking of getting it dyed my natural colour, maybe a bit lighter so it is very light brown, and getting some more blonde highlights- but very few, just to give it a lighter feel. i was also thinking about a dark reddish-brown, but I’m not sure if that will suit me. i have natuarly quite pale skin, however at the moment it is tanned. does anybody have any recommendations for what i should do? also i live in the uk, does anybody know any really good hairdressing companies? many thanks.

What hair color looks best with green eyes? Blond or redhead?

Well, this is kinda random…it doesn’t really apply to me, but I just wondered what people thought. I have a friend who is a redhead with green eyes and she says redheads look better than any other color of hair with green eyes, so I thought I’d see if it was true.

Answer

ur friend is right. red hair looks awesome with green eyes.

What hair color looks best with fair skin?

I have green/blue eyes with fair/pale skin. I feel like changing my hair color the next time I hit the salon, but I’m not sure what color would look best.

I was thinking since Fall is around the corner to go darker, which is perfect since my natural color is brunette-ish… but I’m not sure if that would compliment my skin tone. I’ve always stayed between a dark blonde/light golden brown hair color, with blonde highlights.

So what hair color looks best with a “cool” skin tone?

Answer

Go with a strawberry blond.

It would keep your skin from not looking washed out,

and it would give that darker color for fall.

Good luck!

Whats the best hair care products for taming or stopping broken hair due to using straighteners.?

Hi

I have very thick long brown hair with a natural kink. I started using hair straighteners about 5 years ago. It really does make my hair nice and straight but alas the usual damage occured. Broken hair. Also parts of my hair have become very dry at the ends and frizzy even after using the following products. When i straighten it now i can always see little broken hair standing out. When i go out and stand under a spotlight (Usually in pub toilets) i have a heart attack because it stands out so much. I want to know if anyone has the answer to how i can protect more broken hair and also how to tame the ones i’ve got. I do use Tresemme Hair protecting spray and have done for many years but i don’t think this product is working for me. I do try all sorts of straightening balms and I also use VO5 tame & shine as i’m straightening but none of it seems to work. The best person to advise would be an hairdresser i would think but any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks Ann

Answer

i use herbal essences “break’s over.” it helps my hair with the breakage.

my sister uses a CHI iron and CHI protecting spray (or cream, i don’t remember) and her hair always looks awesome and unbroken. (she straightens her hair all the time, too.)

What’s the best hair care products you have ever used?

Whats the best hair care product for my daughters hair?

She is half white and half Jamaican, and her hair is starting to get real curly but frizzy. what can i use to tame the frizz and keep her beautiful curls?

Answer

There is a product called biosilk that I use on my hair and my nieces hair. I am half african american and half caucasian, she is half caucasian and half hatian. When I were my hair curly i just put a dime size in my towel dried hair after i wash it and let it air dry the rest of the way. The real key is to keep the hair moisterized there are lots of good products on the market that you would be able to use, but look for those that seal in the hair cuticle, when they arent sealed, frizziness occurs.

What is the best shampoo and conditioner for african american women with relaxed hair?

I am trying to take better care of my hair. I am washing it once a week with KeraCare shampoo and conditioner. I am no longer using the flat iron and taking a multivitamin because I want my hair to grow and be more full.

Answer

kera care line is great especially the kera care 1st lather, hydrating shampoo, and humecto creme conditioner are great. if you want to change try mizani and add a little of your own remix in there meaning try the chi silk infusion, a leave in conditioner like kera care or aphogee and wrap your hair when its dry to keep from using the flat iron

shampoo/conditioner:

straight hair: john frieda or pantene

wavy: aussie

curly: herbal essences

really curly: sunsilk

African American Hair Care Products?

I am currently using Pantene Relaxed and Natural, but it is not doing anything for my hair. What are some good cheap products that may thicken my hair and help it grow?

Answer

I don’t know if you’re relaxed or natural. Products that were made for all hair types worked best on my hair, so I loved Pantene (not the line for women of color because my hair didn’t respond for it) and Dove products. For my natural hair I use natural oils and butters. You have to experiment with different products to find something that works well for your hair and you might go through a lot of brands/products before you find the right ones.

Positive thinking

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

Homeopathy :

A person once asked god “What surprises you about mankind”. God replied “They loose their health to make money &then loose money to restore their health by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget their present such that they neither live for the present nor for future .They live as if they will never die & they die as if they have never lived.

So very true of todays hectic world . Just running in circles without reaching anyone .No time for one self nor for another .So how to live & let others live depends completely in our own hands .

Do we need medicines like allopathy , homoeopathy ,ayurvedic or others alternative medicines or can we be healthy by positive thinking & healthy life style .

Positive Energy :

A person with a smilling face is always welcomed with open arms . why? Because sunny people always bring positive energy & light in their own and other people s life. With positive thinking nothing is impossible .Negative thoughts should be thrown away & positive energy given way .This can help a person to become a bed ridden invalid to become a marathon runner .

Positive thinking is like the sun, which as we journey towards it, cast the shadow of our burden behind us .When we start thinking in positive way, can happiness be far away.

Another method of living a good healthy life is by laughing. Laughing from deep inside (vibrating laughter or uncontrollable laughter) can keep your from aging as well as from all health problem . So just give it a try .See one comic film daily, or a comedy serial , joke books etc and see your life becoming beautiful…

What is the best homeopathic or natural remedy for anxiety, stress and muscle relaxant?

Have tried the usual route of SSRI’s etc and found them no good, so wondered if Valerian or Aconite was useful or if anything else worked well for people.

Answer

Aconite is good, Rescue Remedy - A Bach flower remedy - is better

What is the best tablet for sleeping and thinking positive?

Answer

I am afraid no tablet is going to help either of these problems. In fact sleeping pills make getting to sleep nearly impossible unless you continue taking them and after a short time add little to the total time you stay asleep.

I suspect it is counselling that you might need rather than medication.

How soon does Bach flower remedies work?

How soon will people notice improvement after taking it?

Answer

I use the rescue sleep without any relief from insomnia. However when I use it and spray twice, I am very groggy when I awaken.

I have tried a Bach flower remedy and did not get any results whatsoever, I tried it daily for a month. yesterday I went to the local health food store and the prices went down from $14.95 a small vial to $1.00 clearance. I have used a similar remedy to the classic Bach rescue remedy (not the sleep kind) during emotional trauma and it helped right away but part of me believes in this case it could have been the placebo effect.

Try it and see if it works for you. Everyone is different. Give it a good 2 weeks before deciding.

Rescue Remedy in Pregnancy?

Hi

Can anyone tell me if it’s safe to take Rescue Remedy during pregnancy? I’m 20 weeks pregnant and going through a particularly stressful time at the moment. A friend recommended Rescue Remedy but she didn’t know if it could be used safely during pregnancy.

Many thanks,

Alison

Answer

Hi

Rescue Remedy is quite harmless at any stage in your life and can help you with stress related symptoms.

There are other Bach Flower essences that can help you even more, depending on the type of stressfull events you’re going through. You should consult a person who is knowledgeable in Bach Remedies.

Since this type of remedy like homeopathic remedies also reaches the foetus, you baby will also benefit from it’s calming effects since he or she also picks up on your emotional state and probably needs as much help as you do.

You can take any Bach remedies without fear of doing harm to your baby.

Wishing you all the best.

Whats is teh best work of Bach? and please someone upload for me some music from bach, i can’t download

please, upload some Bach for me (the best of his music, the most famous of his music)

I beg you, upoad some bach for me

Answer

Any discussion upon Bach would be way too lengthy and unavoidably generic. Try and search amongst the thousands of answer given here and you’ll just begin you route to the comprehension of this never-repeatable phenomenon.

The greatest monuments he wrote are, in generally accepted principles, the two Passions (St. Matthew and St. John), the two-book Well Tempered Harpsichord, the 6 Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Musical Offering, the Art of Fugue.

Herebelow find some things you should preliminarily listen to. Good luck.

Does anyone know anything about “bachs rescue remedy” liquid/pastilles?

is this safe for children to take ?

Answer

Hi- Its fine for adults, children and animals. I use it for nerves, and it works so quickly for me, that i forget why i took it in the first place-honestly. I give it to my dogs[a few drops in their water]if they are stressed. AND, When we had to box,my daughters horse[first time] to take him 20 miles to be schooled, i put some in her mouth, and she was no trouble at all and very calm. I think its great stuff, and if you give your child about 5 drops on the tongue,or in some cold drink,it should help a treat. There is nothingthat can hurt them in it, just essences of flowers in grape juice. good Luck

Homeopathic/Herbal Remedy for Anxiety?

I have occasional bouts of anxiety that can be triggered by situations that are unfamiliar to me, pms, & insomnia. I’ve tried prescriptions (ativan, xanax) but I’ve just moved, & understandably, my new doc (psychiatrist) isn’t real gung-ho on just dosing a controlled substance. My insomnia (it’s a circle - I’m thinking too much, can’t fall asleep, brain goes into over-drive, still can’t sleep, then I start getting anxious & around 3am I’m crabby & tired & unable to sleep) I’ve tried Lunesta, Rozerem, & Ambien to no avail. Stronger drugs work; but I wake up so tired/hung-over. Melatonin gives me nightmares. Searching on the internet, I read about 2 homeopathic remedies… arsenicum album & lycopodium. Does anyone know anything about these guys? Can they be taken together? How should they be dosed? Etc? I *don’t* want to get high, I don’t want to “escape”… I just want something
 that works & not something to take every day/several times a day — only when needed & a few doses are ok.

Answer

if i have an anxiety attack i usually take something called Dr Bach. it’s a natural flower remedy that will for sure calm you down. my father passed away when i was little and to cope with everything we all took the stuff and it REALLY calms you down. you can only get it at healthfood stores not chemists (i don’t think) and it comes in a spray or drop form. it actually tastes really good lol. you don’t have to take it all the time, just as you need it but unfortunately there isn’t some magical cure that you can take once a week!! i actually have the same sort of thing as you. i never get to sleep and i over think way to much!!!! maybe see a counsellor about your problems and i REALLY hope you feel much better!!!!! good luck!!!!

Does anyone have a dachshund dog that has seizures?

I have a mini and he has had 3 seizures. Should I worry about it?

Answer

So far I have had a couple of dashunds, but non of them had seizures, but my Lab/Border Collie, does get them. I do have to agree with the other people who suggested that it would be a good idea to take him to the vet. But I found something else that helps a lot. Our dog gets seizures when he gets very stressed. I found that Rescue remedy, from the Bach Flower remedy range helps our dog get over his seizures very quickly. The other thing that you can do for him when he gets the seizures is talk to him and stroke him while he is having the seizure that will help him calm down. Good luck for your both.

I was born on the same date as BACH!!!!?

After all the theory and history I had to do on him and his music, I noticed it NOW. I was born on March 21. So was he!

That’s a real sign from God. I hope he pooped on me or something if he really touched Bach.

Answer

I went and looked up my birthday (dec 11). Hector Berlioz was also born on this day. Wow!

Over the counter Anxiety medicine?

is there any over the counter anti-anxiety medicine…that really works? If so, how long does it take to notice a difference?

Answer

Hello! There were some good answers already posted, but since I work in the therapy field, and with anxiety a lot, I thought I’d round out some recommendations for you. Here they are:

1) L-Theaninne - a great and scientifically proven natural muscle relaxer used for anxiety and sleep

2) Bach Flower remedy - “Rescue Remedy” Drops to be taken under tongue

3) Lavender tonic

4) Brain Entrainment CDs - Help bring the vibrational rate of the brain to a more relaxed level. A site called www.hemi-sync.com have the best.

5) Be careful with Benadryl. Most folks feel quite dopey taking this for anxiety or sleep.

I hope you find this helpful. These are just a few things you can do to fully recover from the anxiety struggle.

Peace,
