Great Elvis Costume Ideas
If you decide to dress up as Elvis this Halloween, there are many sources you can look to for inspiration. While we generally thing of Elvis' career and appearance as being divided into two parts, the earlier and the later, there are many variations of costume that will be recognizable as The King of Rock and Roll.
When Elvis was just beginning his career as a performer, he would often wear a plain black suit. Provided the jacket is roomy enough, and the pant are wide legged enough to show movement, the added hairstyle and attitude will be more than enough for a decent Elvis costume. If you have no hair find a nice costume wig to substitute.
A classic picture and video of Elvis making a name for himself shows him wearing a light colored blazer with dark or black pants and a skinny tie. You'll have to sing a few bars of a song, and show off some dance moves, but this one will work very well.
In one of his first big breakout hits, Jailhouse Rock, Elvis wore a modified jail costume. It combined a black and white striped t-shirt worn underneath a dark work jacket with matching dark work pants. This will be recognizable from miles away provided you create appropriate Elvis hair.
In 1957 Elvis received his draft notice, and while he was able to defer his army service to finish filming "King Creole" he did begin his service in 1958. There are a few variations on this costume and any of them will work. You'll want to find either a standard olive green Army uniform with a wide round hat, or a beige button down with khakis and a forage or garrison cap. Also remember all Elvis costumes NEED a professional quality Elvis wig.
In the time just after his army service and before the jumpsuits of the 70's there is a famous photo of Elvis wearing an all gold suit. The jacket is sleek and well cut and the pants are not fitted too tight. It's worn with a white shirt and a gold skinny tie, and of course you must finish this look with a good head of Elvis hair. Any great Elvis wig(will do if you don't have hair, and keep in mind people are using pink wigs as a new fad for Elvis hair.
One of his most well known and popular outfits is the classic white jumpsuit. This outfit is fitted with the exception of the bell bottomed legs. The shirt has a deep v-neck that shows the chest and a high collar to accentuate his kingly neck and head.
Another of his most popular and well recognized jumpsuits is the royal blue one he wore with a cape. There is a great video of him performing in this outfit showing off his dancing moves. The cape is a great accent if you're going to incorporate some of his kung-fu hand movements and roundhouse kicks.
In his 1968 comeback special, Elvis wore classic head to toe leather. The pants were loosely fitted and flattering, and both the jacket and pants were black. This image of the classic bad boy revived his wilting musical career and kicked up his sex symbol status all the way to the top.

7 Tips How To Grow Black Hair Fast
How to grow black hair fast is the big question on every afro Caribbean's minds especially with so much hair extensions and wigs around these days, no wonder most people just go for the easy option and wear wigs. Well! I am going list 7 tips yo can use to grow black hair fast starting today.
1. The first step to grow black hair fast is to get a trim on a regular basis. You want to get a trim every six to eight weeks to get rid of Fragilitis crinium other wise known as split ends that normally stagnant the hair from flourishing.
2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.This is very important, you need to grow healthy long hair. Taking in more water the better the condition of your hair. Staying hydrated will make your hair grow shiny and replenish.
3. Eat healthy food, avoid junk such as greasy, sugary and fatty food. Grilled or stir fried options are much better.Also having multi vitamins and lots of fruits and vegetable will increase the hair growth rapidly.
4. Apply oil and moisture to your hair and scalp, regularly massaging the scalp. Massage your scalp at least 5 to seven minutes per day using a excellent pomade like Mizani range. This will encourage the follicles to produce new hair and lengthen the existing ones. Mizani butter blend is also excellent on black hair if you have a relaxer.
5. Style your hair loose most of the time, tight hairstyles will stress the hair and cause traction alopecia, try not to pull and tug too much that will damage the hair and slow down the growing process. Loose plaits and cornrows is ok but remove them and replace instead of keeping it for long periods.
6. Shampoo the hair weekly with moisture base products and have deep conditioning treatment every two to four weeks. Avoid using hot irons and hair straighteners on a regular basis, as too much heat will dehydrate the hair and make it very brittle and even cause breakage. If you have a chemically treated hair, then wrap it smooth and cover with a silk scarf for maximum control.
7. Using Mizani butter blend range is one of the best way to grow black hair fast. This is all moisture base which promotes hair growth and helps hair stay healthy and strong. It has all the necessary oils and moisture need to allow afro hair to grow longer and faster.
Follow these simple tips and in no time you too will be telling others how to grow black hair fast. For help and more tips of how to grow your black hair fast visit: http://innovationshairandbeautysalon.co.uk.

What Human Hair Weaves Are Really Made Out Of
Have you ever wondered what weaves and hair extensions are made of? The process is quite fascinating for some and for others; they may never look at hair extensions, weaves and wigs the same again.
When you purchase products made from human hair, the hair is actually made from real humans. Humans in 3rd world countries, mostly from Asia (China and India) will sell their long locks for money. European hair is very popular in today's market but the texture doesn't match most hair texture of African American women which is why most afro weaves are made from real Indian human hair, Brazilian human hair or just plain old synthetic hair.
When women in these third world countries are looking to sell their hair, the buyers will actually recommend that the women do their best to get their hair healthy. The instructions to get their hair healthy are: eat a healthy diet, refrain from using too many products and especially no heat appliances. For most women the heat appliances and products are not the issue, the issue is a healthy diet. The donors are typically very young women and virgin hair is ideal. Virgin hair means that it has never been chemically treated. Virgin is one of the most expensive types on the market.
Often when you are purchasing "human hair blend" a mixture of real and synthetic strands. In the 1960's yak hair was used in weaves and unfortunately yak hair had a horribly musky odor to it that could not be washed away. This type used to be known as "Yaki" weaves and was introduced by the Koreans but today the term "Yaki" has nothing to do with the animal anymore but has more to do with the texture of the hair. Yaki is actually a more relaxed texture of hair but not as relaxed as the "silky" texture which is usually Asian.
Today's' cheap and imported weaves use real human strands but because of its poor quality the price will also be significantly lower. Low quality hair doesn't tolerate much actual wearing, styling and washing. Quality real human hair costs quite a bit more but can be worth a pretty penny.
Marissa has compiled a fantastic list of the most beautiful afro hair extensions that are a must see, available on her site black hair extensions.

Rastafari and Dreadlocks
While we all know that the Rastafari grow their hair into dreadlocks, what is the actual connection and reason?
Rastafari, or more simply Rasta is a monotheistic religion and spiritual/cultural movement that believes that Halie Selasie I, the Ethiopian emperor from 1934 to 1972 is the incarnation of God, also called Jah. They recognize him as the the returning messiah. They believe that Embodiment of God on earth has occured a number of times and will accur again. They generally follow the Christian doctrine with a few adjustments. The movement emerged in 20th century Jamaica predominantly, and became a much needed source of afro-centrism and Black pride.
Since the Rastas base a lot of their teachings in Christianity, they live by a lot of the commandments from the Old Testament. Not only do they follow the dietary laws of not eating shellfish or pork, but many abstain from meat and dairy altogether. Rastas follow a strict vegan or vegetarian diet during a Dreadlock Preisthood, and many maintain this lifestyle because they believe that this cleanses the body to preserve the "Ark of the Covenant". Rastas also generally abstain from alchohol, believing that consuming items that are pickled or fermented is symbolic of turning the body temple into a cemetary.
As for dreadlocks, they have been associated with the Rasta movement sinc the beginning. Since so much of the commandments in the Old Testament are adhered to , it stands to reason that the rules of hair maintenance and personal hygiene look there for guidance. This passage in Levitcus 21:5 "They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in the flesh." is often interpreted as forbidding the cutting of hair. Perhaps a bit clearer is this section of Numbers 6:5 "All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.". There is evidence that the Nazarites, and the Sufis as well as many others wore dreadlocks, or similar styles. James the Just was described as a man who never cut his hair. While in previous eras, the length of a person's dreadlocks can signify wisdom, as they grow longer with time, in our current time, they more often attest to the time one has spent being a Rasta. Today, many people wear who are not Rasta wear dreadlocks as an expression of afro-centric pride, or even simply as a hairstyle. The Rastas that abide very strictly to what is stated in the Bible about hair maintenance, wash thier hair only with water and allow the dreads to lock up on their own. Making the growing and development of dreadlocks an exercise in patience. Those who do not adhere so strictly to the laws of the Old Testament for hair care often wil use dread wax and specifc combs to help the hair dread faster and more smoothly.
Whether you want to learn more about Rastafari or just grow dreadlocks for the style, there is much information to be found about how to encourage them in your own hair. If, however, you'd just like to try them on for a bit, or dress as a Rasta for Halloween, there are many online sources for dreadlock wigs.
If you do want a Rastafari Wig, you'll need to find a costume wig store. The best way to find quality Costume Wigs store is to do a Google Search. You can also find fantastic Dreadlock Wigs the same way.
