Most people think of big, bouncy curls when they hear the word "perm," but there are actually different types of perms. Not only can you get different types of curls, from loose curls to tiny tight ones, but you can also straighten curly hair or perm just a single section of your hair. A "root perm" is when only the roots are permed to give volume and bounce to flat, lifeless, hair. You can perm your roots at home as easily as a stylist could at a salon.
Instructions
1. Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Use a towel to gently blot it dry--rubbing hair vigorously actually causes breakage, particularly in curly hair.
2. Comb your hair until it is free of tangles. If your style has a part, make sure it is exactly where you want it.
3. Separate your hair into four sections. Wrap the roots (the 2 to 4 inches closest to the scalp) tightly around the rods included in the home perm kit.
4. Mix the ingredients in the perm kit, following the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Apply the perming lotion to the roots wrapped around the rods. Make sure it is applied evenly.
6. Put on the cap and wait the indicated amount of time. A kitchen timer is helpful.
7. Remove the cap and rinse your hair with warm water, leaving the rods in place.
8. Apply the neutralizer to the roots. Let it sit for 8 minutes.
9. Rinse your hair, this time with cool water. Unwrap your roots from the rods and dry your hair with the towel.

Whether you're going to a luau or feel like dressing up in costume, a Hawaiian costume can help you look and feel like you're there. Women and men each have different looks when it comes to Hawaiian costume ideas. Women can arrive as a traditional Tahitian dancer, Hawaiian pin-up, or local girl. Men can go as a fierce Tahitian dancing warrior or a laid back tourist or surfer.
Women
There are three distinct looks that a woman can wear as a Hawaiian costume.
A woman can wear a Tahitian-inspired hula dancing costume. This iconic look includes a grass skirt, coconut bra or Hawaiian print midriff top, and bare feet or clear sandals. Accessorize with a lei and a flower in your hair. Remember, that a flower behind the left ear means taken or married, whereas a flower behind the right ear symbolizes single. Tahitian dancers are also known to wear flower lei bracelets, anklets and crowns. Complete the look by getting a tan and a long black wig, if you do not already have these features.
Another look is the glamorous vintage Hawaiian pin-up girl. Find a figure hugging halter with a cinched waist in Hawaiian print. Wear a lei around your neck and a flower behind your ear. Apply a vintage makeup look that includes bright red lipstick and slip into vampy stilettos.
A simple and easy look is the local girl. Find a Hawaiian print sarong and wear a lei and a flower behind your ear. You can wear a sarong as a skirt or a dress. Should you decide to wear your sarong as a skirt, wear a matching halter or bikini top and flip flops.
Men
Men can have two Hawaiian looks.
A man can dress as a hula dancer. Unlike the graceful and feminine Tahitian dancer, male Tahitian dancers are depicted as strong warriors with clearly defined masculine movement. Men wear grass skirts and are shirtless. They can also wear a lei. Find fake tribal tattoos to place on your bicep and back. Also, get a tan.
The Hawaiian tourist or surfer dude is an easy look to create. Wear a Hawaiian print T-shirt and khakis. Have a straw hat, lei, sunglasses and flip flops to accessorize.
Use hair rollers to create curls on relaxed hair safely.
If you've chosen to relax the naturally curly patterns of your hair, you will find that there are many styling options that are available for you to choose from. Naturally, wearing your hair in a straight style is one of the reasons that prompted you to relax your hair in the first place, but that doesn't mean that you can't wear your hair curly from time to time. Curls can be worn soft and loose or tight and defined; any of which can easily be accomplished on relaxed hair regardless of your experience styling it. Because of the fragile nature of relaxed hair, however, the main point of consideration when curling your hair is to choose a method that achieves the curls that you want without damaging your hair.
Instructions
1. Start with clean hair. Before trying to curl your hair, use a moisturizing shampoo to thoroughly wash away any dirt or styling products that could potentially weigh relaxed hair down and prevent it from curling properly. Shampoo and rinse twice using warm water before applying a moisturizing conditioner. Comb the conditioner through your hair and wait a minimum of five minutes before rinsing with cool water.
2. Prepare your setting lotion. There are two types of setting lotion that you can use to set your relaxed hair and create curls that hold: concentrated and ready-to-use. If you are using a ready-to-use solution, you can spray it onto your hair directly with no mixing involved. For concentrated setting lotions, prepare the solution by mixing with water according to the specific brands directions for the level of hold that you desire. When mixing your setting solution, use a spray bottle for easy application.
3. Part your hair. Spray your hair with the setting lotion and comb it through with a wide-toothed comb to work out any tangles. Starting at the bottom back of your head, part out a section of hair that is slightly shorter in width than the width of your hair roller. The thickness of your section will vary depending on what type of curl you are trying to achieve. For example, using a large roller on a thick section of hair will create looser curls, while using small rollers on a thinner section of hair will create a tighter curl.
4. Place the roller underneath the section of hair, so ends of your hair are smooth against the roller. Because relaxed hair still has a certain amount of texture you will need to pull your hair taunt to remove any waves and to ultimately create a smooth curl. Begin to roll your hair onto the roller, while maintaining tension as you go, until you reach your scalp. Secure the roller using the metal duckbill clip or a metal roller clip. Continue parting and rolling up the center of your head until you have created a row of hair in curlers that resembles a Mohawk from front to back. Curl the sides of your hair, starting from the bottom and working your way up to the center Mohawk of rollers. Continue rolling your hair until your entire head of hair has been placed in curlers.
5. Turn on your hooded hair dryer to a medium high setting. Sit under the dryer for approximately one hour. Test your hair for dryness by slightly unwinding one of the rollers. If the section feels damp, sit under the dryer for another half an hour before retesting; if the section feels dry, unwind it completely to check that it is dry at the ends. If it is wet, sit under the dryer for another 20 to 30 minutes and retest.
6. Allow your hair to cool down before unwinding your rollers. For better control, begin at the back of your head and work your way up when freeing your curls. Gently separate your curls with your fingers or with the tail of your rat-tail comb. To maintain your curls, tie a scarf around your curls or put on a satin sleeping cap before going to bed at night. If properly maintained curls should last from three to five days.

Let's face it-prom night isn't a night for boring dresses. You want to look glamorous and you want to look sexy. This season there are tons of sexy prom dresses to choose from. Here is a guide to finding one that's perfect for you.
Instructions
1. Consider your body type. The trick to finding a sexy prom dress isn't just grabbing the first low cut gown you find. It's about finding a dress that shows off your body in a flattering way. Take your body's shape into consideration and find a dress that best suits your body.
2. Find inspiration. Magazines, television and the internet are packed full of prom dress ideas. Find out what prom dress types are in style this season and take note of what you like for future reference.
3. Decide on "haves and "don't haves". As you do your research it helps if you decide what attributes your sexy prom dress should and shouldn't have. Do you want a strapless dress? Do you love full length skirts with a slit? How do you feel about sequins? The more you narrow down your likes and dislikes the less time you will waste trying on dresses you hate.
4. Go shopping. Now that you have at least a general idea of what you're looking for take those notes with you and head for the stores. Let the sales assistant know what types of dresses you're looking for and she should be able to help you find a suitable sexy prom dress.
5. Take a friend. You can't always count on a sales person to be impartial when giving advice. Instead take a trusted friend prom dress shopping with you and you'll be sure to get honest opinions on what looks best.
6. Be just a little practical. Yes, being sexy isn't always as comfortable as a pair of track pants, but you don't want your dress to torture you all night either. If that strapless dress needs to be pulled up every couple of minutes it's going to be driving you nuts all night. Aim for a dress that feels as good (or close to) as it looks.
Ask woman and they will tell you to trim the rain forest. Manscaping keeps you from looking like a gorilla and really cuts down on odor. If you're newly divorced and haven't been in the dating scene for the last decade, Manscape probably isn't even in your vocabulary. Learn it, Love it, Live it
Instructions
1. A manscape should be done in privacy and behind closed doors. You will need a blanket or large towel to sit on while the manscaping is in progress.
2. Once behind closed doors and your towel or blanket is laid out, it's time to prep the clippers for work. Depending on how long you want the pubic hair will depend on the clipper guard you will use. Of course if you want the bare look then a guard will not be necessary. Note though that many women are turned off by the "bare" look so be sure and check with your lady before you go extreme. A more conservative approach would be a 9mm guard.
3. Don't let the clippers get jammed with hair so brush it out every minute.
4. Protect the assets at all time, using the "cup" method. This well prevent any nicks or cuts to the assets.
5. Once all pubic hair is cleared and cut evenly, go straight to the shower.
If you are in the transition from having permed or relaxed hair to growing out your natural hair, you can cut off the treated parts and opt for a hairstyle such as comb twists. The same can be done if you have treated hair and just want a new hairdo. You do not need a lot of hair for twists; this style actually works better for shorter hair as it stays twisted more easily.
Doing the Twist
You can do this style with damp or dry hair. Damp hair is better because you can easily detangle it with a comb. If your hair hasn't been cut and you're just twisting it for a new style, be prepared for any type of hair breakage at the point where your natural hair is joined by the treated hair. It may look like you're shedding, as hair might come out in strands when you pull a comb through it. You will need a rattail comb and a hair gel such as Black Earth's Lock It Up Gel, which will help your twists last.
Separate your damp hair into small sections with your comb. You can section your hair in the shape of a diamond, square, circle or triangle. Parting your hair in a circle section may take more time than the others. Apply a dime-size amount of hair gel to the first section and put a rattail comb at the root. Slide the comb up from the root while gently turning the comb clockwise. Continue this until your comb is out of its section.This should make a coil. Repeat these steps for your entire head.
This hairstyle can be worn for several days before having to restyle it. It will last longer if you sleep with a stocking cap over your head at night. Be cautious: Hair that is left twisted for too long can begin to lock, so if you do not want this to happen, untwist your hair and start the process over again.

Pretty bows have a way of multiplying when you have a little girl.
Little girls look so precious decked out in hair bows. They can acquire quite a collection of them over time, something to go with every possible outfit. Instead of stuffing all those pretty bows and barrettes in a jumbled drawer that is difficult to dig through every time a little girl needs something pretty for her hair, display them in a fun and organized way that makes access and choice easy .
Braided Yarn Hair
Braid long strands of yarn to look like a human braid in the color of the little girl's hair. Hang it from a bathroom or bedroom wall or door with a strong stick on a hook or a screw-in hook. Decorate the long braid with all the bows and hair gear. They will be simple to find hanging in plain view, without having to hunt through piles to find the one she wants.
Ribbon Strands
Cut a long piece of fabric ribbon one-half to one inch wide and at least three feet long. Use the same technique as the yarn hair for hanging. Attach all the bows and clips to the hanging ribbon. They are very easy to attach and detach from the ribbon. Tie a large knot on the bottom of the hanging ribbon to keep pieces from sliding off.
To make a more secure version that does not move around, use a piece of wood or cardboard and place different widths and colors of ribbon next to each other vertically across the board. Fasten each piece of ribbon at the back of the board with a stapler, small nails, or craft glue at the top and bottom of each piece of ribbon. The bows and barrettes will clip easily on the rows of ribbons.
Doll
Use a doll or doll's head to display the bows. Make sure the doll is a large doll with enough hair to fasten the bows and clips to. Set it on a bathroom counter or dresser for your little girl to reach easily. She will have fun making her doll's hair pretty with all her bows.
Bulletin Board
Buy or make a bulletin board or wood board. Paint or cover it with fabric to give it more warmth and character. Attach rows of simple screw-type, open-end cup hooks to the board with the open part of the hook facing up towards the top of the board. Hang it in a bedroom or bathroom. Anyone can easily hook each bow over and a cup hook and remove it to use.
