Cheap Clip Hair Extensions

Thinking about updating your hair style? It can be a difficult decision to make, especially if you have been riding your current do for a few years. We all have huge debates with ourselves about what hair style to go with when we finally decide to make a change; should I go shorter, longer, new color, highlights, who should do the cut, aaahhhhh! It can feel overwhelming at times because so much of the way we feel about how we look is bound up in our hair style – and it makes sense after all your hair frames your face and gives endless hints to others about who you are.

Changing Your Hair Style

Making the big decision takes guts, you have to commit to what you fear may be a terrible mistake and that you will come out the other end – Ugly!

The first thing to remember is that no matter what hairstyle you choose you will look different, not better or worse, and making changes is fun. This is an area to challenge yourself in and potentially a personal growth experience for you.

When to Change Hairstyles

It has been more than 3 years since you really changed the style of your hair

You feel like your life is stagnant whether it is your career, family, relationship, or money. Making one change often leads to others – start with your hair and see what happens.

Your fashion and your hairstyle don’t seem to match

If any one of these criteria match then it’s time to change that hair!

Now you are ready to decide on a new hair style, I admit it’s tricky and you can never be sure. My best advice for this phase of change is take no more than 1 week to decide, preferably no more than 48 hours. Chances are if you are thinking about changing your hair you have been thinking about it for a while. Sit down with a friend, a hair style magazine, your stylist or all three and hash out some ideas; then you’ve got to just do it.

The Best Hair Styles for Your Face Shape

As fun as it is to play around with different hairstyles, it’s important to remember that not every hairstyle that looks great on a friend, co-worker or celebrity will look good on you. The shape of your face can greatly determine whether a hairstyle works for you or works against you.

Determine your face shape?First of all, you need to figure out exactly what your face shape is. There are several ways to come up with this answer, some more scientific than others. Chose the method that appeals most to you:

The Tracing Method: Hold your face up to a mirror and trace around your face onto the mirror with lipstick. Pull your head away, and voila, Your face shape. This method tends to be clumsy and a little inaccurate.

The Towel Method: Cover your face with a thin towel or piece of cloth. This creates a simple blank outline to be viewed without your facial features to distract. Then ask a friend to tell you what shape your face is. This method allows for some interpretation but can still be pretty effective. If your friend’s not up to figuring it out alone, have her/him take a picture of you and then the two of you can discuss it together.

Tomima Edmark had shiny, long, flowing hair- that she could never get to stay in a hair do. But she wasnâ??t worrying about her hair the night in the late 1980â??s when she was sitting in a movie theater, enjoying the show. She was reminded of her problem by the woman sitting in front of her whose hair was elegantly styled in a â??French twistâ?, when suddenly she came up with the idea for the TopsyTail- a hairstyling tool that turned a ponytail inside out to make numerous beautiful hairstyles.. This little brainstorm of an idea went on to become the most successful hair accessory history.

 

Tomima worked on developing her invention; prototyping, production, and packaging, and in 1991, started selling it at a few local boutiques. She used a chance encounter with an editor of ACCESSORIES Magazine to persuade her that TopsyTail tm had the potential to turn the accessories industry on its head and create a sales revolution. The editor, knowing a good thing when she saw it, advised Dallas based Tomima to secure a New York salesrep that would sell it into the major department stores and provided her with several recommendations. Tomima selected a sales representative and marketer that already was focusing on â??out of the boxâ?? accessory items that would get the mediaâ??s attention and drive sales in the then recessionary economy.

 

Meanwhile Tomima, a former marketing person for IBM, was busy at work securing a Direct Response TV (DRTV) deal. TopsyTail tm would become the first fashion accessory to appear on a television commercial. TopsyTail tm had all the makings of a successful DRTV campaign. It catered to  a huge demographic –â??anyone who can ponytail can TopsyTail tm,â??;  was inexpensive to produce, it could be marked up for profit many times and still be offered at less than $20, itâ??s effect made people feel special and more attractive, it was simple to use, and had an element of magic. At about the same time of establishing the TV connection Tomima hired a New York public relations firm with credentials in promoting both fashion accessory and beauty products, to deliver the news on TopsyTail tm into the hands and heads of American girls and women.

 

Even before the TV and PR campaign took hold, the department stores responded and orders started to roll in. Only Bloomingdales buyers turned down the TopsyTail tm, stating it did not fit into their product mix. When the media exposure did hit all hell broke loose. The department stores placed reorders for monthly deliveries for up to a year out.

One morning, the sales representatives received an urgent telephone message from a top executive at Bloomingdales asking them to call their buyers â??As soon as possible!â??

 

Tomima had also hired salesreps in other key markets nationally. She had all targets covered. The orders were coming in so fast and furiously that she could no longer run the operation from her garage. She was running out of funds to produce the goods. A decision had to be made on how to keep up with demand. She formed an alliance with a DRTV company to fund the production of goods (allowing Tomima to retain oversight of quality control), run the TV campaign worldwide and oversee distribution.

In addition, she established an extensive network of outsourced vendors to deal with everything from manufacturing to servicing retail stores; keeping her own company very small (3 full time employees) and creating an economy of scale. By allowing herself to focus on what she did bestâ??which was creating the TopsyTail tm , and effectively managing the business, she was able to capitalize on her whirlwind dream.

 

This tsunami of sales continued for well over a year in the US and reached into international markets as well. A sales representative, vacationing in Barcelona in the Summer of 92â??, was watching TV in her hotel room and lo and behold a TopsyTail tm commercial appeared on CNN! After a year and a half, just as TopsyTail tm had thundered into the marketplace, the storm had run its course.

 

The market was saturated and was ready for the next â??big thingâ?? which was to be the Hairdini tm , (but thatâ??s another story.) By that time, TopsyTail tm had generated

over $100 million in sales to take its place as the best selling hair invention in history.
