What is the most embarrassing thing your parents did or said to you?

When I was in 4th grade one day we got a chance to look through a microscope. One of the items was a human hair. I hadn't known then that the hair shaft was hollow. So that afternoon when I got home from school I got a pair of scissors and cut a chunk of hair so I could look at it with my magnifying glass. Of course my mom came in and went ballistic. Then for the next several days every time she was on the phone with someone she told them, "Guess what my daughter did now? She cut a big chunk of her hair off so she could look at it with a magnifying glass! Her hair looks horrible!"

I was mortified, and by the end of the week it seemed like everyone in town knew it!

What have your parents done or said to really embarrass you?

What is the most embarrassing thing your parents did or said to you?

I was about 13 and a size 12. my mother brought me into what i call an old lady store, and started to cry to the sales lady. telling her that I was so heavy she couldn't find any thing for me to wear. I walk out of there crying with the most ugly outfit. I brought it home but refused to wear it and every chance my mother got she told everyone how ungrateful i was.

What is the most embarrassing thing your parents did or said to you?

There were too many where my mother was concerned.

What is the most embarrassing thing your parents did or said to you?

Sit around the table with my aunts, and older cousins talking about my boobs,when i started my cycle, you name it she told them.

What is the most embarrassing thing your parents did or said to you?

I had a baby when I was 16 yrs. old and gave it up for adoption (the most terryfiying experience in my whole life) and instead of my parents being supportive, my dad got up in front of the whole church and announced it to everyone. That hurt worse than a slap in the face.

What is the most embarrassing thing your parents did or said to you?

when I was 12 I wanted to pluck my eyebrows so I was doing this , when I accidentally plucked half of my right eyebrow all the way and I was scared to get in trouble so I cut my hair and stuck pieces on my eyebrow with super glue so that it would look like nothing happened, for the first day no one noticed anything until the next morning, the glue dried and my eyebrow looked crusty. My dad got so mad and made me wash it off, then he decided to draw my eyebrow with a liner. I looked like a clown, it was horrible!!!!

Reborning dolls?

I asked this once earlier, but only got one answer... Over the past couple months I have become increasingly interested in roborn dolls, and learning to make them myself. I've found a couple tutorials online, but I would love to know how other artists do it. I admit, I'm slightly confused by the purple wash thing. Do I dye it? Or paint it, and if I paint it do I paint inside or out? Which method works better? If you have any examples of your work, so I can see how the techniques differ, I'd really appreciate it. Please email me, The link thing is in my profile. I'm hoping to avoid the 'dead/bruised' baby look. Also, I like the idea of rooting the hair as opposed to a wig, but I hate the look of mohair. It looks frizzy and just plain odd, in my opinion. Is there some rule about not using human hair? Or is it more a cost thing ?(having gone to cosmetology school I know how pricey a human hair track can be) Any info or tips would be much appreciated! Thanks to all the genuine answers. :)

Reborning dolls?

It's possible they didn't answer because asking for email is a violation. The purpose of yahoo answers is so others can see the answers and be helped by them as well. they can do a search and that way we don't have to read the same question repeatedly. Sorry you only got one answer the first time. Most people who do this are doing it for profit, and not really willing to give away the secrets they had to learn by trial and error.

How can i get this look from at home?

so heres what i want ... http://s229.photobucket.com/albums/ee21/...

i have darker extensions for the bottom can i dye them more brown [human hair ones] and to get the top of her hair colour would I have to dye my entire head that colour my hair now only goes to a bit past my shoulder and how many colours are on the top like what colour lowlights\highlights or\basecolour [my hair is a lightbrownish colour now] thing would i need and can i do it at home?

How can i get this look from at home?

i'd say there owuld be 2 mabe three colors for the tops it seem like some peices are lighter my a little bit, but there are a few darker brown streaks in there but mostly light. You could aslo do this look with diffrent colors if you wanted.

I'd say you could, just get some hair products.

give it a bit of th emessy look. just pretty much practise.

How can i get this look from at home?

Best way to get that look is to not touch, wash or brush your hair for a month.

Extensions....?

so im planning on getting jet black extensions on the sides of my hair.. and in the back.. just a tad bit.. so my hair resembles a mullet.. does this sound confusing?

also, im only paying $250 plus hourly..

so this chick who always does my hair..

she uses natural human hair..

you can straihten, wash...etc..

and im getting it in platnium black and a tad but of hot pink...

does this deal sound weird..

its her own shop.. she

is more then qualified..

she went to the tigi academy..

my mom is telling me not to.

considering how cheap...

i mean extensions are usally $2500

but im only getting them for $250.

should i?

Extensions....?

um, yeah.

some people do it for cheap considering they don't have that much practice or they're just nice.

i have a friend who's going to beauty school and offered to give me extensions for fifty bucks.

just do it.

Extensions....?

hell yea baby, if you can trust the stylist, get that done! i'd love to see a pic of it when you're finished...i've never seen a chic with that kind of style before. email me:

centcali559@yahoo.com

Extensions....?

Yes, do it. I paid that money too and it turned out fine.

Extensions....?

Jet black sounds so lovely, however the price sounds too good to be true. Your mom probably knows best.

Extensions....?

If you trust her and that's what you want, do it!

I would if I could find someone to do it for that.

Extensions....?

Um-mm, something about fake hair says it all...Its fake and usually if its not uber expensive then you get what you pay for. I'm all about getting a good deal also but when it comes to my hair i don't make decisions unless I am 100% sure of it and confident. Cause confidence is beauty and if you cant wear them and be all about it then I'd say No. Good luck!

Health Physics. Quick help!?

Explanation preferred!

A human hair breaks under a tension force of 1.2 N. If the tensile strength of human hair is about 2.0x108 Pa, what is the diameter of the hair in microns (10-6m)?

I really need to help because im so confused! Thanks!

Health Physics. Quick help!?

Its been awhile for me. But I think a Pa is force per unit area.

soooo:

2.0*10^8 Pa/ (1.2N) = your answer.

Please verify my units.

Physics Diameter Question?

A human hair breaks under a tension force of 1.3 N. If the tensile strength of human hair is about 2.0x10^8 Pa, what is the diameter of the hair in microns (10^-6m)?

I have no clue how to solve this problem! Please Help!

Physics Diameter Question?

From geometry, D = 2閳?A/锜?

From mechanics, Stress = F/A, 閳?A = F/S. Ergo,

D = 2閳?F/S锜? = 9.1E-5 m, or .091 mm

Reborning dolls?

Reborning dolls?

This can't be true...right?

I was researching the ingredient of bread and found this... is it really true?

" l-cysteine, our research indicates that the source of cysteine is human hair. Cysteine is an amino acid needed by humans, which can be produced by the human body. A very small quantity is used in less than 5% of all bread products. Often the hair of third world women is used. "

This can't be true...right?

Dietary Sources

Cysteine can be found in red peppers, garlic, onions, broccoli, brussel sprouts, oats, and wheat germ. However, it is not an essential amino acid, and can be synthesized by the human body if a sufficient quantity of methionine is available.

Production

It is interesting to note that currently the cheapest source of material from which food grade L-cysteine may be purified in high yield is by hydrolysis of molecules in human hair. Other sources include feathers and pig bristles. The companies producing cysteine by hydrolysis are located mainly in China. Some debate whether or not consuming L-cysteine derived from human hair is cannibalism. Although many other amino acids were accessible via fermentation for some years, L-Cysteine was unavailable until 2001 when a German company introduced a production route via fermentation (non-human, non-animal origin.)

A source of bonded cysteine (cystine) is undenatured bovine whey protein; this is the same form as that in human breast milk.

This can't be true...right?

i highly doubt it

what is your source?

This can't be true...right?

WOW....hope not....but I will be trying to check that out...

This can't be true...right?

Sounds to me like a lot of other untrue rumors. I remember when it was being reported that there was asbestos in tampons - not true. Try going to www.truthorfiction.com and see if it's listed there.

This can't be true...right?

ewww. i hope not....

This can't be true...right?

It doesn't make sense to me. Any human product would be expensive to get. I'd do some more homework. Was that really on the package?

This can't be true...right?

:(((((

This can't be true...right?

While there are some elements of truth to what you found, the human hair in bread is NOT one of those elements.

Cysteine can be found in red peppers, garlic, onions, broccoli, brussel sprouts, oats, and wheat germ. However, it is not an essential amino acid.

Yes, right now the cheapest source to synthesize Cysteine is found in human hair, pig bristles, and feathers. However, per WikiPedia:

L-Cysteine was unavailable until 2001 when a German company introduced a production route via fermentation (non-human, non-animal origin.) So see? No worries that you're consuming human products ;)

This can't be true...right?

I went to 'ask.com' and did some research. I did not find anything that mentioned this, in relation to bread. L-Cysteine is an amino acid that we need and produce in our bodies and it is derived from hair. Foods that produce this acid are beets, alcohol, asparagas, chocolate, milk, and meats.

No where did I find ANYTHING indicating that it is used as mentioned above.

Can i Do this?

Can i go to the hair store and buy Micro Braiding hair (The human hair used for micro braids) And use the Micro Ring/ Micro Link method for extensions?

I just dont have the money to go and buy that remy hair for $100-$300...

Or even do it with the fusion method. Can i apply the glue to this type of hair?

Can i Do this?

you have to buy a special type of weave to do the process and i think they sell the hair and the micro rings in Sally Beauty Supply.

Should I . . .?

Should I buy a wig? I have a large bald spot that's barely covered by my top layer of hair. It's gonna be human hair, but I'm not sure if I should buy it. The doctor said that my hair should grow back in 3 - 6 months. he said @ 3 months, I should have "some fluff." What do you guys think I should do? Oh, also (ignore the avatar) my hair is short, so the top layer could be flipped up a lot more easily than if I had long hair, thanks!

Should I . . .?

閳俱儮娅旈埦锔规珪 As you can see the female above me said has worn them all of her life, My mother's name is Lisa. My aunt, mother and grandmother have worn them all of there life the wigs become addictive, and they have long hair but the wig has enabled them and now they can't leave home without it they don't' know how to style their hair and they will feel uncomfortable out in public with out it. I also tried it because I wanted a short look with out cutting my hair. I wore it for like three weeks and then when I took it off it was looking like my edges was thinning out so I took it off and have never returned. I think that it starts to thin it out because of the cap and the elastic that is around the hair line. I truly feel like their is not enough blood circulation to the scalp because of the wig. So the next best thing would be a full head weave with out any glue and that will give your hair the air and blood circulation that it needs to grow. Don't cover up what needs to spout out like a flower. i hope that I have helped you.閳俱儮娅旈埦锔规珪

Should I . . .?

Why don't you just buy a clip in hair piece for the one spot? That would be much more comfortable.

Should I . . .?

Just let it grow out.

Invest in a fab hat colllection you can use later on in life, you can only wear the wig for a little while.

Should I . . .?

Buy some wigs, then you can have whatever color and kind of hair you want!

Should I . . .?

get the wig. you could always take it off if it doesn't work for you.

Should I . . .?

Hi Lissa,

I have worn wigs all of my life and I enjoy them, change, fun! Anyway, for you since it is only temporary, there are very light skin cap wigs that are very light on the scalp and will cover you entire head until your hair totally grows back and that way you don't have to worry about if it shows or part of it isn't and looks funny. They do carry falls that you can piece in with built in clips that aren't very expensive and you don't need to spend alot of money, nor do you need to spend alot of money to buy a human hair wig. Since your situation is so temporary, I wouldn't spend alot of money on the more expensive wigs. The care of the wig or fall is simple, just swish it around in a mild shampoo, don't twist or wring it, just swish it back and forth in your bathroom or kitchen sink, gently sqeeze out the excess water and hang it up to air dry, then gently brush it back into shape. Don't use a hot blow dryer it will kink the hair and ruin your wig. I've got more ideas but try that first.

To Buzz or Not to Buzz? And what to Buzz with?

Ok, my Red Heeler (aka Australian Cattle Dog) sheds profusely and always seems to be panting. I was thinking of using the clippers I have to buzz some of her hair off (not balk, just down to like an inch thick) .... BUT I'm not sure if human clippers will work well on dog fur!? Also, someone recently told me that their hair actually helps to keep them cool which I didn't think made sense since she sheds much worse in the Summer. So does anyone know FOR SURE?

1) Can I use human hair clippers on a dog successfully?

2) Does buzzing their fur a bit actually help to cool them down or not?

3) Will buzzing them help with shedding?

(Any groomers or vet techs answers would be greatly appreciated!!!)

To Buzz or Not to Buzz? And what to Buzz with?

1. you can, but they don't last as long or work as well. animal ones are much better for animals. (the blades reach different lengths than human ones.)

2. no, it won't help cool her down. she isn't a breed with a double coat like a sheltie or chow. most dog hair has hollow parts in it where it holds in heat or cold (whichever is needed), acting like insulation in a sleeping bag.

3. not really. daily brushing with a shedding blade will do that though. (it's a curved comb that's looped around like a big "O" with a handle - it works GREAT on breeds like this.)

i'd go against shaving %26amp; just do a quick thorough brush once a day. and if the dog keeps up with heavy panting, you may want to take it to a vet just to make sure everything's okay. some breeds are prone to heart issues which can show up as panting. it's probably not the case, but it's better to know for sure.

To Buzz or Not to Buzz? And what to Buzz with?

1. No you can use human clippers take her to a groomers.

2. No buzzing them does not help cool them down. Their fur helps insulate them from the hot as well as the cold weather.

3. No it doesn't help. She will just shed shorter hair. The shedding will not slow down.

You need to just keep brushing your dog and keep it up. Getting all the loose hair will help more than anything else too with shedding.

To Buzz or Not to Buzz? And what to Buzz with?

The vet will buzz your dos hair FOR you. They have a special kind of clippers for dogs. Not human hair clippers/. Buzzing eases the shedding a little, but not completely. I would reccomend buzzing only for summer and any other hot time of the year.

To Buzz or Not to Buzz? And what to Buzz with?

Yes human clippers will work.

To Buzz or Not to Buzz? And what to Buzz with?

I used to have a Shetland sheepdog who had a VERY thick coat. Every summer we would shave her down to about an inch thick. She seemed much happier, there was less shedding, and by leaving the inch or so she didn't get sun burnt or anything.

We bought a special set of clippers. You can actually buy dog grooming kits with the right clippers.

To Buzz or Not to Buzz? And what to Buzz with?

No. buzz cutting will not help shedding..Short coated dogs shed more because hair is constatntly dying and falling out--i.e shedding. Long coated dogs have longe shank hair which does not shed--they just shed their undercoat twice a year--thus they are sometimes refered to as "non-shedding" dogs--which isn't exactly true.

cutting the hair will not help stop shedding.

A good brushing with a pin brush will help pull out the dead hair. If the skin is scaley and dry--try spraying with Listerine--it helps stop the dry skin and smells.

To Buzz or Not to Buzz? And what to Buzz with?

What will keep you warm in the winter, (dog fur), will keep you cool in the summer. INSULATION!!! the dog has been suplied by nature with INSULATION to protect if from the elimates.

How do I do a silk wrap?

I am african american. I can pretty much do anything to hair. I learned to do different things experimenting. My co-worker came to work with a hair wrap. She always has a hair wrap, but this time it was silky. In other words it looked like the human hair that you buy. I asked her how did her beautician do it and she said she don't know. I know she is not lying because she doesn't know how to do anything to her own hair but wash it. Can someone please help me out and let me know how I can do a silk wrap in my hair to give it that silky look. What do I need to buy, along with the process.

How do I do a silk wrap?

i wear a medium length wrap i do my own hair and mines come out silky too and very bouncy. well i shampoo it then i deep condition it and i leave my conditioner in about 15 to 20 mins while i sit under my hooded dryer then i comb it out and put some "got2b hair , root to tip hair silkener" on it i spray alot on mines and i comb thru it and then i blow dry it and then i flat iron it and wrap it with bobby pins(u dont have to use pins if u don wan dents) but i press mines out in the mornings.. or if u want a full effect u can use rollers and sit under the dryer still using the silkener n conditioner etc..and a nother good thing is to use a SILK scarf or smthin of that nature it helps keep ur hair soft n moisturized u should always sleep with a silk scarf. : ]

How do I do a silk wrap?

all you have to do is i dont know ***** i want points

How do I do a silk wrap?

If I am even half right, you wash and set your hair in a wrap. Sit under the dryer and get dry. Comb out the wrap, flat iron it and wrap i back upwith a silkening product. The key, from what I was told is to wrap the hair with plastic wrap and then get back under the dryer. The wrap should be silky when it is combed out again.

Whats the difference between...?

human hair and synthetic hair,

Can I curl human hair, and what are some ways to keep it from getting nappy?

Whats the difference between...?

human hair is real and can be curled and have heat on it and even colored. while synthetic sometimes looks fake and sheds easily. you can't do anything to it so it is better to get it already styled. to keep real hair from getting nappy you need to wrap it and sleep in a silk scarf. and use a natural bristle brush. Hope I helped

Whats the difference between...?

brush it, and yes you can curl it.

Whats the difference between...?

well... take ur hair in small sections.. put mouse on it.. then curl with a hot curler.. the curls stay 4 a much longer time that way... but if u want to curl ur hair permenatly go to a salon! they'll do it really nice.. then the curls will last a hundred times longer.. and u can get like 10000 different styles with it curled

Whats the difference between...?

human hair is real

synthetic hair is fake

call ur local hair salon and ask them that

Whats the difference between...?

Human hair means hair that can be treated as if it were your own e.g. curl it, straighten it, style it with mousse, gel, hairspray, etc. ANd Synthetic hair is fake. YOu cant do anything to it cause you can damage it.

Whats the difference between...?

Human hair well is made from human hair. This type of hair can be curled flat iron and etc. This type of hair is more expensisive. You can do anything with this hair.

Synthetic hair is cheap. You cannot flat iron it or put any type of chemicals in it. It also looks very fake. You cannot do alot of stuff with this..

I would go for the human hair

Whats the difference between...?

Human hair is from a human head. Synthetic Hair is NOT!

Whats the difference between...?

Human hair is real human hair and synthetic hair is fake hair. You can curl human hair and if you take good care of it and brush it the way you would brush yours, it shouldn't get nappy.

Whats the difference between...?

Human hair is real hair from humans that you can style as your own. Wash it, brush it, straighten it, curl it, etc. It's also A LOT more expensive but it looks the most natural.

Synthetic hair is fake hair made by man that looks really shiny and unnatural. It gets tangled and nappy super fast. It's cheap and I don't recommend it.

Will this work?

Im dying my hair blonder

and my clip in hair extentions (which are real human hair)

they match my hair colour but i was just wondering if they will dye to the same colour that my natural hair will dye to?

thankyou

Will this work?

i dont think that they will let u dye ur hair w/ extensions. u will have to take them out in which case they no they wont! sry

Will this work?

i think this will work

Will this work?

Human hair extensions do dye but they might not match the colour of you hair so I would do a test on one of them first and see what the result is first before doing the whole lot.

Can i Do this?

Can i go to the hair store and buy Micro Braiding hair (The human hair used for micro braids) And use the Micro Ring/ Micro Link method for extensions?

I just dont have the money to go and buy that remy hair for $100-$300...

you have to buy a special type of weave to do the process and i think they sell the hair and the micro rings in Sally Beauty Supply.

Can you be allergic to a yorkie puppy?

I just got a yorkie puppy, and I'm not allergic to it yet. (I don't know if I want to keep it yet.) I heard that since yorkie hair is like human hair, you can't be allergic to it. I am allergic to cats sometimes, but I dont know if I am allergic to it yet. Also, what types of human foods can I feed to her, and what types of human food shouldn't I feed to her? For example, carrots, yogurt, cucumber, and stuff that you would usually find at someone's house. Thanks.
