Katie Price-Botox & Hair extensions
By · CommentsKatie Price and Botox & Hair Extensions! Botox and more botox! Botox is one of the popular non-surgical treatments for treating lines and wrinkles caused by smiling, laughing and frowning. It is used to prevent the muscle contractions that cause furrows and fine lines when the face is in motion. At her age why should she thinks she needs it or is it I can afford so I can do it! It does nothing to enhance her expressionless image! Watching her on the Alan Carr show she complained about the crease it had left in her nose, why would you want botox in your nose?
Hair extensions are great whilst growing your hair long but are a short term measure which I have used. Long term it is not the answer and can damage your hair.
It is a well known fact that hair extensions can do damage to your natural hair. The glue that is attached to your natural hair can burn and split the ends of your hair. This means that you will almost always be required to have the ends of your hair cut after the extensions are removed.
Also, if a lot of long or heavy extensions are added, this applies additional pressure to your scalp. One of the dangers of extra pressure to your scalp can be a thinning of your natural hair. In some cases there have been reports of headaches from the added weight of the hair or allergies to the bonding glue that is used. Everyone is different and will react to hair extensions in a different way. They are not necessarily good or bad. It depends on a number of factors that you have to consider.
If you are trying to grow your hair long, you might want to think seriously of the potential damage the hair extensions could do to your long hair quest. However, if you only would like a new look for a few months and are prepared to lose some inches along with the extensions, they can be a great solution.

CBB-Stephanie Beacham
By · Comments
Stephanie is the beauty of CBB by far, she is a lady and is absolutely stunning! she brings style, class and elegance to everything she touches she is my role model and I cannot believe she is 60 she looks 40 and she has never touched botox or plastic surgery which is amazing.. and? she is so cheery and nice and plays everything to perfection. Stephanie is in CBB to help her daughter Phoebe who has a addiction problem. Phoebe who said: “My mother saved my life. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be here today.
“I owe her so much, I was a total wild child, but mum has always been there. She has spent literally thousands of pounds of her hard-earned money getting me out of all kinds of scrapes.”
Stephanie you so deserve to win!
