10 Fresh Tips for Improving Your Image

1.Spread smile. As Confucius said, a smile is a powerful weapon; you can even break ice with it. This catchy phrase applies to bosses, potential mates, and even your landlady. A smile is cheapest and easiest thing you can wear, and is easy to use. Please, don’t grin like some escaped baboon, rather think about something that makes you genuinely happy, like tax incentives for breast implants.

2.Don’t create a new style. Unless your last name is Klein or Hilfiger, for our sake, please don’t try to create something new. When it comes to fashion, don’t chance it. Go to mall, walk into Banana Republic or one of its generic equivalents, and pick up an outfit. If you are truly fashion illiterate, buy an entire mannequin. Wear your new threads with pride, because what you do with that thing on your own time is your business.

3.Two words- Be Social. In all likelihood, you have friends, and may even venture away from your computer and into real world on a semi regular basis. (Buying new 20 sided dice for your Dungeons and Dragons game doesn’t count.) A fundamental rule of human interaction is “like attracts like.” So if your dream girl is a level 28 Warlock, then by all means bust out some nerdy Elf magic on that ass. Seriously though, your friends are a reflection of yourself, so choose them wisely.

4.Match your belt with your shoes. Frankly, black shoes and a brown belt mix like Jesse Jackson at a KKK rally. Once you decide on one or other, stick to it like a tongue to a flagpole on a cool winter morning. That may be well and good if you like pain or paramedics, but I’d like to hope you follow directions. Final thought here- shoes make man, and will get you woman. Have you ever seen how many pairs of shoes a woman owns? Take a hint and toss your discount store digs for a quality pair that will last you longer than a trip to parking lot.

What materials are in a hairpiece? The best hairpieces are custom-made. They tend to be more expensive than ready-made hairpieces because they are constructed with quality materials and made to fit your scalp perfectly. Quality custom-made hairpieces are created with human hair. The color, texture, and density of client’s hair are matched to make wig completely undetectable on scalp. Ready-made hairpieces are usually constructed with synthetic materials.

The foundation for a hairpiece is made with either a section of netting or silicone. Either of these foundations can be easily shaped around balding area and are simple to attach with adhesives or clips. Men buying hairpieces tend to prefer silicone foundation for its natural look.

How are hairpieces attached? Adhesives, clips or metal snaps can attach hairpieces in place. Each method has its own pros and cons.

Adhesives: Double-sided tape is used to attach hairpiece and makes for easy fastening and removal. The downfall to adhesives, however, is that they tend to leave a sticky residue on scalp and on underside of hairpiece. The tape can also become unglued if you perspire heavily or go swimming.
