Of course it is better if you are interested in hair that is if you are a user of hair extensions yourself. You should be your own brand ambassador that is the fastest way to sell.
Hair Extensions

Step 1: Learn the basics/ Upgrade your knowledge
Study the differences between natural human hair and synthetic hair weaves. This way, you can understand which hair is best for different types of extensions braids, and weaves. Also it will save you from been cheated by your suppliers because we have very close synthetics these days.
Step 2: Conduct feasibility study and write a business plan
This is very important as you wouldn’t want to import the human hairs only to find out that there’s no demand for it in your region. Before investing a dime into this business, you must conduct feasibility study to ascertain there people are willing to buy human hair.
You must also figure out how big that demand is, the exact type of human hair your potential customers prefer and how much they are willing to pay for it. You must also try to figure out how much it will cost you to buy and deliver the human hair, the challenges you are likely to face and how to surmount them.
Step 3: Find Suppliers
Set up wholesale accounts with brands and manufacturers of human hair. To get the lowest prices, connect directly with manufacturers in India or China because most human hair for weaving is gathered and produced in Asia. An example of a good place to connect with manufacturers and suppliers is Alibaba.com and Aliexpress.com.
Step 4: Choose a sales medium
You have to plan how you would sell. It is advisable that you sell online or on the social media platforms. It would save you rent money. You also may not need to tie down your money in stock. You can simply get an order, receive payment, place an order with your supplier, make delivery and keep your profit.
Step 5: Attract customers
Always look good as a walking billboard for your business.
Nobody gets to know about a business that is not promoted. So, adopt various marketing strategies in order to spread word about your hair selling business.
Offer incentives for customers to shop with you. Give discounts, do bundle sales, partner with salons to offer free installation for those who buy from you. Be creative.

As joyous as seeing your little one begin to crawl is, one thing certainly must come to mind – baby-proofing! Crawling is a worthy developmental milestone for babies and now that your child is crawling, ensuring her safety within the house is vital.
Sometimes, we tend to overlook the importance of baby-proofing. Over the years, the act of baby-proofing has often been contested as some mothers see it as small frets. One can never be too careful when it comes to child safety. There’s surely more to only watchful eyes.
Home safety measures may seem overwhelming but guided by a checklist, and knowing what to do makes it a lot easy. From crawling to toddling, you’re covered with these useful hints in keeping your home safe.
There’s never a time too early to start with safety measures. Where to start? Try to take a child’s view around the house. What looks inviting but dangerous?
Tiny objects pose potential choking hazards. Don’t leave coins, marbles, beads, paper clips, etc. lying around. Don’t leave them on low tables, in drawers or cupboards where your child can reach them.
Carefully lock away cleaning agents or any poisonous liquid. Keep them well out of reach especially away from flat cabinets.
Do you know that children are excellent imitators? They love imitating adults. Bearing this in mind, try not to take medicine while your child is present. Store all medicines in a childproof container, well locked in a high cabinet. Never take medicine out of its original childproof container. And when trashing, ensure they are adequately disposed of.
Window blinds and drapes? Keep them well tied up, high and away from reach to avoid strangulation.
Never leave your kid unattended to in the bathroom. And for toilet safety, install a toilet lock so your child’s little fingers don’t get wandering into it. Doing this will prevent accidental drowning and unsanitary exposure. To forestall slipping on bathroom tiles, use non-slip mats.
Sockets can be real fascinating and irresistible to kids. To avoid electrical hazards, use child-proof outlet covers for outlets within your home. Got long cords around the house? Use cable holders to keep them fastened against walls. Trunking is also advised to keep your little one’s eyes away from electrical wires.

Baby gates and pens come in handy when thinking of how to secure your child in a safe arena especially when cooking, working or if you don’t want her/him tumbling down the stairs.
Always keep sharp objects locked up after use. And while cooking in the kitchen, use the back burners so your child can’t reach the hot pot. Always keep trashcans covered.
As babies learn to climb and walk, they try to pull themselves up by grabbing on furniture. Ensure to keep shelves, drawers, appliances well fastened. Screw shelves to the wall where possible so they don’t tumble on your little crawler.
Guards and child-locks should be installed on doors and windows to keep your child from opening them. Keep furniture away from windows to prevent easy climbing.
Got lots of breakable decors in your living-room area? Now is the best time to move them out of reach!
 

Cocktail parties are a chance for you to experiment with colourful evening makeup looks that brings out the best side in you and they are the best excuse to try something new.
Perfect Look for Cocktail Parties
Come sunset, and you can never go wrong with liquid shimmer.  Mix a dab of your foundation for radiant, party-perfect skin. Create a base for the eyes by applying concealer with a slim concealer brush, which is a must for getting into the corners of the eye to cover up the dark circles. Dab the colour where your skin is most discoloured, then use a finger to pat it in lightly.
For an eyeshadow base, you can use the same concealer brush to pat powder onto the eyelids to make your shadow stay.
To create a dramatic cocktail party eye makeup, create smokiness by smudging pewter or gunmetal eyeshadow all the in your crease. This Smokey look is less harsh than black but equally dramatic.

For a different eye look, apply light gold eye shade only to the inner corner of your eyes. Once, you are done, line your upper lashline with a black eyeliner.
Trace your waterline with a nude coloured eyeliner/pencil.
For a lush party fringe, apply your mascara with a fan brush, which works especially well on hard-to- catch lower lashes, then wipe your mascara wand with the fan brush to transfer the colour and use it to paint your lashes for an extra fluttery effect. You can wear false lashes for a more enhanced look.
Apply a little foundation on your face to create a dewy effect, then finish it off with a blush on your cheekbones. Highlight your cheekbones and the T area of your face with a concealer and blend.
Create a simply defined brow with your favourite pencil. 
Complete the look with a nude lip colour, preferably with a hint of pink in it. You can apply gloss for a glossy and shiny lip.

The gym isn’t a fashion show or a club but the world is your runway. The appropriate kind of clothes to work out in can help you feel more comfortable and motivated when you’re putting in work. Women’s workout wear no longer consists of your husband’s old shirts and shorts. Today, a variety of designers offer gym wear that is comfortable and functional, yet still feminine and fashionable. The gym is now also one of the top rated places to find a beau, so bring your game on!
The Clothing For Gym
A supportive sports bra:

Get a well-fitting sports bra. It can make or break your workout. Go to a store where you can be well measured for a sports bra and try on a variety of bra styles before you choose the one that’s right for you and your particular fitness needs. Try out the bra by moving around in it, jumping up and down and bend over to ensure that it stays in place.
Fitted top:
 Modern gyms call for better-fitting tops. In certain types of gyms, such as a yoga studio, tighter clothes are required, since it gives instructors a better idea of your posture and form. Choose clothes made from performance materials that wick away sweat to help keep you fresh and dry.
Bottoms:
Choose your bottoms based on the type of exercise you’ll be doing once you’re at the gym. There are a variety of gym bottoms to choose from, including shorts for cycling classes, cropped leggings for yoga and stretched pants for Pilates and general exercise. The adjustable waistline is important for a personalised fit.
Footwear:

Choose the right shoe for your activities. Running shoes aren’t suited for aerobics classes and cross trainers usually aren’t suitable for running. Consider the shape of your foot also. For extra support you may require padding in the arches, depending on how high or low your foot arch is. Go to a sports shop and get help from the attendants.
Gym Hair
Your hair needs to be out of your face when you exercise. Try these styles;
Ponytail: this is when you pack your hair up in a bunch and tie it behind your head.

 
Box braids: this is like regular cornrows, but these are bigger than regular ones hence the name.
The Bun: This tight and sleek look will keep your hair out of your face while you’re working out, and is sweat-friendly.
Gym Make-Up
You can put on makeup to the gym to look attractive and presentable. If you must wear makeup, choose sheer, light foundation so you don’t clog your pores. If you’re exercising outdoors, use a tinted sunscreen instead of foundation. Use waterproof mascara and then a nice lip balm or lip gloss. Less is more.
