Baldness Sexy or Not?

So every ten seconds hair commercials cut into your favorite TV show and if that weren?t bad enough, add a few very beautiful people with shiny, long, flowing, luscious locks prancing about with their hair blowing in the wind. All this while you sit in front your TV, not only annoyed because you just want to see the end of the show you were watching, but also because these ads are the absolute last thing you need to see when you are noticeably balding. Talk about rubbing it in. The worse part is that it is not only mind numbing for you to watch but it is promoting the ideal that ?hair is beauty?. And so it is that pop culture continues to encourage long beautiful hair much to the detriment and isolation of the balding community.

Bald heads are often referred to as ?skin head? and associated with bikers, prison inmates and some gangsters, but there are also quite a few Hollywood studs that are often seen donning the bald look and many style critics have given the look a grade A for sex appeal. Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel and the legendary Clint Eastwood embrace the fact that hair is not forever, and they certainly ridicule the ideal that ?hair is beauty?!

Baldness can be very sexy, especially if it goes with your personality, style of dress and overall appearance. But for the most part it can bring out anything and everything that is good about a man's face. If he has nice eyes, they are more handsome if he has no hair to distract attention away from them. If he has a masculine jaw and/or cheekbones, they are undeniably sexy with no hair to mar the view.

But the best part is that you won?t have to waste any more of your money or your time or your angst on worrying whether or not your hair loss detracts from your appearance, because in all fairness, it doesn't. Chances are that insecure feeling you have about being bald will be noticed more than if you didn?t even have a head. Being ashamed of your appearance or insecure about it can significantly detract from your confidence and that will undoubtedly detract from your appearance. So always remember that the absence of hair on the head merely indicates that you have enough testosterone coursing through your body to rock the bald look. And it is just one more thing that makes you masculine, confident and sexy.

Gender Discrimination and Human Decadence

Gender Discrimination and Human Decadence
By: Stephen K. Ainsah-Mensah

It cannot be doubted that production, in whichever form it is visualized, is at its best when human resources are utilized in the most efficient manner free from indefensible biases. Such biases are common with regard to the genders, namely a man and a woman. Whether the issue is mental production or physical production, the moral and logical justification for harnessing human resources should guide the production process, not passionately driven assertions or prejudicial assertions. Preferences for gender-based human resources at the workplace are silly, and they tend to have an unreflective connection to historically based arguments that are untenable in modern times.

Man, compared to woman, has, for a long time, been regarded as better fit for the workplace. The reasons have usually been illogical, yet upheld to promote development.

A study can show that in those days that battles were common to secure the might and survival of societies, men did most of the fighting, not women. Women were limited to home duties and were, as such, induced to undertake household tasks such as husbanding their partners, grooming them in ways that could calm their emotions and sooth their minds after a long stay at the battlefront. The historical genesis of the division of labour between a man and a woman appears to relate largely to this point. Outside activities were so it was established - the natural vocation of a man while a womans vocation was largely held to be domestic, at home. To sustain this argument for present times invokes the spirit of the warmongering past, a past that was soaked in battles, in fistic activities, in activities that exposed the uncivilized characteristics of humans. It, what is more, presupposes that might or physical strength or brute force is preferable to mental acumen in the field of production, an asset that men, it seems, have more of than women.

Yet modern societies are not of this form any more. Humans have settled down to more peaceful endeavours; they have built stable families and yielded their respective consciences to teamwork and innovative ventures that are often supported by the power of reason at all kinds of workplaces. And nothing could be further from the truth than to say that skilled professions in the areas of teaching, law, medicine, management, social studies, research, the entertainment industry, the arts and the sciences, among others, are fistic in nature. To suppose so echoes the unsound arguments of the unhealthy past.

What differences exist between a man and a woman, one may ask? For this question is at the heart of much of the gender discrimination that are observable at the workplace and other places where tasks have to be fulfilled in the best possible way.

The obvious difference lies in the area of biological composition or so it seems. A woman is claimed to be less strong bodily - than a man because it is further claimed that her organic make-up is not sufficiently conditioned to resist some of the external pressures that weigh against the body. Her tender breast (forgive my slippery tongue), her menstrual cycles, the weight of pregnancy and child birth, her tendency to undergo maternal leave (thus, creating a vacuum at the workplace), and so on may be cited. These claims exclude the balancing acts - therefore crucial advantages - that a woman has over a man on the issue of eliciting the finest exercises of the mind to address concerns about the body in order to generate the desired fitness. Naturally, prudence ought to be called into play in addressing such bodily concerns, and this requires an equally discreet organization of thought processes. It follows that a woman generally acts after carefully arranging thought processes and balancing them with foreseeable outcomes that she expects to be sane or purged of needless risks. She listens to her body and fashions thought and actions on the basis of this unceasing engagement.

Apart from these matters, the physical strength of a man does not necessarily imply physical fitness. Strength of the body is an entirely different issue from fitness of the body. The former connotes might; the latter connotes health. With regard to the latter, a woman could be better off than a man or a man could be better off than a woman, whichever way.

I must, at this point, state that the general arguments proffered so far are flawed by other cases of daring women whose fistic competence far outweigh that of men for the reason that their constant battles to strengthen the body gives a corresponding strength to the mind, hence the pace of production. A large class of women may choose to engage in tough workouts or courageous bodily activities aimed at preparing them for gallant duties. It is the obligation of decision makers to fully support such course of action since it further liberates a woman from the intolerant stereotypes of many a man.

It is also to be noted that sloppiness in the face of tremendous courage is not a commendable act. If a male employee exhibits such trait, he has not proved to be any better than a female counterpart who professes far more prudence with moderate or a lesser amount of courage. Whether a man or a woman is better in dealing with workplace issues has to be connected to the question of courage, prudence, mental preparedness, among others. It is from these human qualities that the overall principle of efficiency in production arises. Here, I am referring to quality and quantity of production in relation to cost benefit and the best possible exertion of human effort in accordance with the principle of reasonable recreation. A woman who avoids risk and uncertain consequences in production in favour of predictable outcomes should be commended far more than a risk-taking man whose bold endeavours generate unpredictable outcomes that equate more with gambling. A manageable business forecast based on a modest production plan is better than an out-of-control business forecast based on an ambitious production plan.

Such are the general nature of both a man and a woman; and we need the services of both to help create a healthy production process. It can, therefore, be safely argued that the generally prudential thinking style of a woman, her far more cautious approach in doing things, and the generally daring endeavours of a man are both desired to generate a healthy production plan and capacity. At the level of top management, middle management, low management, or operating employees, the services of both genders are needed if optimum production is to be expected.

I now want to address some very sensitive yet very important contentions that have been central to the hiring practices of employers.

First, it is claimed that a woman is likely to be pregnant, and being pregnant, her reflexes are, thereby, slowed down, which impedes production. At an advanced stage of her pregnancy then the delivery of her baby, she will go on maternity leave and leave a job vacuum that has to be done by asking for the help of a new or an old inexperienced employee. These issues do not afflict a man, so it is claimed; and on the basis of this viewpoint, it is further claimed that a mans reliability is higher than that of a woman.

Advocates of these contentions are morally reprehensible and socially irresponsible. Besides, they prove to be sexist in their style of reasoning as well as their conduct. A woman who carries a potential or actual baby is not a liability to production. What she has done is to enlarge the future workforce by one person just like any other woman who carries a baby. Suppose women cease to be pregnant and nurture children, then the future of the workforce is bleak. Basic reasoning should inform us that even the issue of a man or a woman becoming a president or holding any commendable post, either in a company or in the government, is a matter of the leader being first born, thanks to a woman who carried him/her in the belly. Thus, a companys profit intentions should take account of this last point; for the concept of profit is not merely to be understood in terms of money-generating human resources in the short run. Profit ought not to be tied to the structure of micro business. More importantly, profit is a macro phenomenon, and an application of this claim to the moral and egalitarian basis of business and the society at large is crucial. Furthermore, why should a man who caused a womans pregnancy escape the bodily pressures of the pregnant woman by enjoying all the privileges and rights at his workplace while the woman is made to suffer? Should not the legal instruments of the state instruct an employer to rather provide every possible support for a female worker who happens to be pregnant? There should be no room for gender discrimination at the workplace. Gender discrimination dislocates the moral and emotional fibre of the two opposing sexes as well as their respective natural inclinations towards having a symbiotic relation that is vital for the advancement of civilization.

I finally come to another area of gender discrimination that is even far more entrenched. It is in the area of spousal relationship.

A man marries a woman, and persuades or coerces the woman to stay home and just perform household chores while the man satisfies himself with working to bring in the family income. He thinks this familial arrangement is naturally desirable, and he is prepared to advance arguments to the effect that a woman is destined to be docile, meek, soft-hearted without which she loses such inherent qualities, her woman-ness. But ask the same man why he argues in this way and no sensible explanation will be forthcoming except to be trapped in further arguments that are nothing but a classic example of a vicious circle.

What the man has done is to follow the bogus traditions of the antiquarian past, a past that I have briefly explicated in the third paragraph. Personal development and social advancement are not the preserve of a man; a woman deserves them too. The oppression of a man against a woman, his inequitable relationship with a woman, becomes manifest as soon as a man accepts and prides in the domesticated lifestyle of his spouse. A woman is, thereafter, robbed of her ability to develop a sophisticated mind as well as a more function-able body if she is unable to develop mature social networks and innovative job skills that are typical of the workplace. A domesticated woman-spouse feels terribly insecure, and she tends to apply unnecessary docility to win the unfading love of her man. Also, she becomes incredibly curious about the daily whereabouts and doings of her man in order to save her marriage. Her development is stunted, so too her refinement. At some point, the man may be fed up with these intrusions in his life whereupon he may seek a mistress and/or begin a series of domestic violence that taint his marriage.

But a woman who opts to stay home and be merely a homemaker when she has the full choice to explore her talents elsewhere has submitted her fine qualities to a condition of decadence. In cases that a woman and her spouse are both employees of, say, a company, it is decent enough for both of them to share, equitably, household chores. In sticking to this arrangement, the couple would have taken the necessary steps to promote love with the spirit of genuineness.

What may outrage mentally and physically liberated women with regard to the oppressive doings of a man against his spouse, as stated above, is that such a man is likely to boast of the docility, the civility of his spouse. The capacity of the spouse to explore her untapped skills, which could, in any case, enhance the intelligence or skills bank of the family is suppressed precisely because a yesterdays man is unable to see the role of egalitarianism in fashioning the equal eligibility of a man and a woman for any conceivable enterprise.

Surely, the good sense of a society cannot be achieved unless gender equality is made the cornerstone of development on all possible fronts.

Sedu Beauty Tips: The Dos and Don'ts of Hair Brushing

Hair brush is one of the most essential tools every person, man or woman, should have. Hair brush helps dealing with tangles and bed hair look; to some extend it even solves the problem of hair styling.

But the greatest thing that can be done with a hair brush is keeping our hair naturally moisturized as you transfer natural skin oil from the roots to the tips of the hair when brushing.

To help your hair grow healthy and shiny, you should brush your hair every day with careful gentle strokes that decrease the friction and smooth the hair scales. Harsh and rough brushing will only increase the damage to your hair. Moreover, such brushing increases the amount of pulled out hairs in two times.

The use of proper hair brush is essential for sedu hairstyles as it helps to avoid unnecessary damage, eliminates static electricity, and adds shine and smoothness to the hair. There are several hair brushes that should be at hand when creating and maintaining your sedu hairstyles:

1. Wide-toothed comb for detangling hair after and before washing. Every time you are preparing to wash your hair you should make a detangling first. This will help you lessen the risk of mechanical damage during washing and make the after-washing detangling easier, thus eliminating more mechanical damage. Such combs should be of antistatic material, so read labels carefully and make sure you won't harm your hair with poor quality product.

2. Fine-toothed tailed comb for styling. You should use this comb when making heat straightening using a flat iron. Just follow the flat iron with fine-toothed comb to make sure that there are no tangles and frizz left in your hair after straightening. The tail of the comb will be handy in creating prom hair styles and dividing hair in separate tresses for straightening;

3. Massaging wooden hair brush that will help you to massage scalp after you detangled the hair and are preparing to sleep. Usage of this brush at least twice a week will help you increase the blood circulation in the scalp and improve the state of the hair cuticle after a couple of months of usage;

4. Boar bristle round brush for styling. This hair brush is a must for short to medium hair styles. It helps to obtain neat and sleek hairstyle. Boar bristles eliminate frizz and add shine to your hair;

5. Ceramic styling hair brush is good for medium to long hair styles because it helps to manage long hair and eliminate static electricity. You will be even able to create soft waves that will frame your face and make it look gorgeous.

The above mentioned hair combs and brushes should be of high quality so that your hair won't suffer from the harmful materials and faulty workmanship. It is also recommended to wash combs with warm water at least once in two months in order to eliminate product built up.

To make correct brushing, follow these simple rules:

1. Before washing the hair, use a wide-toothed comb. If you have a long hair, start from the tips and move gently to the top of the hair. Do not pull the hair or comb too energetically, or you will lose healthy and mature hairs that hold firmly in your scalp. If your hair style is short just move brush through the hair from roots to the tips to eliminate frizz and arrange your hair before washing;

2. After washing DO NOT brush the hair while it is still wet. The hair should be at least dump when you start to detangle it, or you are sure to lose more healthy hairs. Do not be afraid to see hairs on the brush as long as you don't feel any pain from their pulling off. It is a natural process of hair growth when up to 100 hairs are falling out every day to spare the place for new and young hair.

3. If you are using blow dryer quite often, you should use round brushes of 100 per cent boar bristle for styling of the short hair, and ceramic round brushes for styling of the long hair. Such brushes will make it easier for you to style the hair, add shine to your hair, and help you to arrange the hair into any style from spikes to soft sedu waves.

4. If you are using a flat iron, you should start straightening from the bottom of the hair. Separate the bottom layer of the hair from the top layers, and pin up the top layers using tail of the fine-toothed comb. Straighten the bottom layer of the hair, and proceed with the upper layers until you are finished. Every time you apply flat iron to the separate tresses follow the flat iron with the comb to make sure that there are no tangles left.

5. Before going to bed, apply massaging brush. Detangle the hair first, and then gently brush the hair, especially the root area to improve blood circulation and allow your head to relax after the long day of styled hair. You will see positive results of such technique just after a couple of months. Your hair will look healthier and shinier, your scalp will receive more nourishment through improved blood circulation, and if you have problems with hair falling out, they will be diminished.

So, hair brushing is the separate science, and knowledge of its rules will help you decrease the amount of money you spend on hair care products. Moreover, the state of your hair health will improve dramatically and your hairstyle will receive the status of the Sedu hairstyle because of the natural shine and smoothness of your hair.

10 Definite Don?ts Of Great Hair Care

Hair care is science and an art, but most of us approach it in a very haphazard way.  This article lists 10 common mistakes you should avoid in a good hair care routine.

If the amount of money consumers spend on hair care products annually is any indication, most people are concerned about the appearance of their hair and strive to attain beautiful, healthy and stylish locks.  In fact, most will go to any lengths to achieve their desired look. From professional salon treatments to over-the-counter serums, hair care is a big business.

The only problem is that while many people are buying the right hair care products for their hair, they forget to follow basic hair care regimens that will guarantee the health and beauty of their tresses. Additionally, many are also causing needless damage to their hair by participating in unhealthy hair care behavior.

So, what should you do to make sure that your hair stays healthy, shiny and strong?
To avoid all hair care disasters, follow these 10 absolute don'ts of great hair care.

Hair care don'ts

1. Avoid unprofessional and over-the-counter hair care products whenever you can. Many of these only offer false hopes and promises.

2. Do not cut your own bangs. Leave all of your cutting needs, even bangs, to your hair care professional.

3. Avoid excessive sun, chlorine and salt water during the summer months. Excessive exposure can cause severe damage that is irreversible even if you use the best hair care products.

4. Do not use clarifying hair care products on your tresses more than one time per week. They can strip hair of moisture and essential oils.

5. Do not visit a hair care salon without first getting a referral from someone you can trust. Choosing a salon based on an advertisement or sale alone is very risky.

6. Do not purchase hair color that comes in a box.

7. Never stick with an outdated look because you are afraid of looking different. Styles change for a reason. Ask your hair care professional to bring you into this decade with a new style.

8. Do not straighten your hair with a clothes iron. C'mon, this was so over in the 70s. We have straightening irons that won't damage your hair for this now. Look in the hair care isle.

9. Don't brush your hair or put too much tension on it while it is still wet. This will cause breakage. Also, do not wear tight styles such as corn rows for extended periods of time unless you have ethnic hair.

10. Never use sun-lightening products such as lemon juice or over-the-counter hair care products designed to lighten hair with the sun unless you want a very short hair cut in the future.

In the end, hair care is a very individualized and personal thing. Feel free to add your own flair and style to your hair care routine, but remember to include hair care principles that will benefit your hair and avoid those that damage it.

Our advice would be to go and find out everything you can about 'sedu hairstyles', and whether Jennifer Aniston has been using Sedu products, and write a feature centering around the hairstyle and a ringing celebrity endorsement, if you can find it.



If hair styling equipment is not your bag, then a feature on Zac Efron, or how to dress for a prom might have some mileage. Remember, though, that these are new entries in the meta search list, and so might not hold longevity.



Top 10

The following is the continuing Top 10, along with their sample key phrases, and KEI data calculated for them. Picking from this list will guarantee the choice of a subject that has substantial logevity prospects.

We would point out that a high KEI does not necessarily guarantee a good keyword choice, and that the only keywords worth targeting in the Top 10 are those with a good ratio of Sites per Search. The standout favorite is 'myspace', with Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, and Carmen Electra also giving a good ratio; also research in these areas should be easy, and they could feasibly sell to almost anyone.



Global Statistics

The median number of places climbed by search terms for the period was 9.00, with 104 terms moving up, 69 moving down, and 11 staying put.



The median percentage of searches per term climbed from 0.58% to 0.60%, while the mean percentage also rose from 0.71% to 0.73% for the same period.
