How should i stretch my ear?
Alright so i got my ears pierced about 2 months back. They told me i should wait 2 months before stretching. It's been 2 months and about an extra week. So i went into my piercing shop today and grabbed some 8g earrings, but I didn't ask them to help me put them in because i was in a bit of a hurry. Anyway, i heard jojoba oil is good for your ears. Should i use it before i stretch, or after?
Also i know it's good to put them in while you're in the shower. However i don't want to take a shower just for that. I was thinking i would soak them in my sea-salt solution (from when i was cleaning them for the initial piercing, still have half a gallon left). One time to clean them, with the earrings in, and then when i'm ready to do the stretch, just take my earring out, soak each ear a little in the warm/hot salt water. Then put a little bit of anti-bacterial hand soap (non-scented and all that of course) on the earring. Then just pop em in.
I assume i'll know if they weren't ready and i get a blowout. Also, are there any other tips you can give me? My ear seems clean. They don't hurt like they use to. They're not oozing anything.
Also as an end note, i got them pierced at a 10g. The professional piercers at the parlor (they ONLY do piercings at this place, no tattoos) said 2 months and i should be good to stretch, they even said yeah i should be fine when i went back in to get the earrings today. I got vitamin e oil instead of jojoba (the store i went to was out of jojoba).
OK since the only answer i got was "Don't do it."
Let me state a few things. I have thought twice, more than twice actually about it. I don't care if certain people don't like them, i like them and plenty of girls like them. I don't feel the need to revolve my life around what will get me a girlfriend. It's how i want to look. I got my ears pierced at a 10g SPECIFICALLY for this. Also, i know the long term implications. I expect to have them forever (i treat piercings like tattoos, if you get them, they're a life-long commitment, even the small ones that can close up).
Also the whole "how do you think it'll look when you're 80!?!" argument is the stupidest thing ever. How good do you think you'll look without them when you're 80?
@sasha and the person under her. I wasn't yelling, i was just saying :o
sorry if i came off a bit angry. That's just how i feel about the "when you're 80" argument, and i was just explaining that so people don't keep giving me answers that say "Don't do it." I respect your opinion, in fact one of my best friends thinks that they're dumb. I apologize if it seemed like i was getting really mad. I'm not that temperamental ;)
What can having low blood pressure do to the body?
Someone i know ( in their 30's) had a headache the other day and then their ears blocked which they could not hear anything, then they fell and fainted, does this sound like low blood pressure? or something else? today they have a headache again and feel a little weak. What could this be?
I have told them to go the doctors but hopefully i will get some answers here to explain to them what could have happened in order for them to finally agree on going to the doctors.
Thanks in Advance...
Is it normal to go blind because of low blood pressure?
I know that dizziness when getting up is because of low blood pressure. But along with this i go completely blind in both eyes for about a minute, like black, and when it comes back there's bright flashing lights. Also a loud ringing in both ears, and pressure around my temples. It's all gone within a few minutes, i just want to know if that's normal, as i don't want to waste the doctors time if it is.
Thanks.
Is body butter with Vitamin B, E and Shea Butter good to use while stretching your ears?
I just used some, because I know Vitamin E is good to use while stretching your ears, is all that together good though?
I need Vitamin E oil for stretching my ears. Where do I get it?
I'm currently stretching my ears, and I'm at a size 2. I don't think I'll go any bigger than a 0, but getting the 0 in the 2 hole is a huge beeeotch (DANG YOU, YAHOO SENSORS!)! So I've heard that Vitamin E oil works well and is good for your ears, but I've got no idea where to get it! Can I get it at a local drugstore, or do I have to go to one of those fancy-schmancy health stores? Also, and tips on stretching your ears would be appreciated. :]
what are the symtons of high blood pressure?
i have been getting real red in the face from my collar down. i thought it was because i ran out of roscea cream. mom said it isn't,my face is more red than normal and all over. even people at work have commented,and i wear make-up. it's less red when i'm lying down. mom wants me to check for high blood pressure since her and dad are both on medication for it. i thought high- blood pressure caused other symptons like dizziness and light headedness, symptons i don't have.
so what are the symtons? i'm 22, female, about 5ft4, and 170 lbs. am i at risk? should i be checking?
i feel fine, i felt a liitle feverish and my ears felt like they wre on fire but i work in fast food, around heat lamps all day. i don't feel sick..
How to nourish dehydrated, frizzy, fried hair?
I've dyed my hair a bit too much, and though it's been 3 months since I last dyed it, I still shed like a cat.
And when I DON'T use a straightener, it's a wavy, curly, frizzy, coarse feeling, MESS.
When I do it's super soft...but I'd rather not keep losing my hair please.
I also try not to straighten my hair much. (not more than 1 or 2x a week.)
And I wash It every 2-3 days.
I use two conditioners, one of which is supposedly a 'deep' conditioner..It's by Garnier Fructis....
Would taking vitamins help?
Or do I need to go get a professional Protein and deep conditioning treatment performed at a salon?
Homemade remedies, or store bought remedies would be useful.
I have thick hair, original light brown, dyed black. Cut about 5-6 inches below my shoulder, and in too many layers to count, starting at the top of my ears.
My hair went from light brown, to dark brown, to black, back to dark brown, to red/blonde, back to black, and then the roots re-dyed black again. All since late October, 2008.
I also went most of late june, early july without straightening it but once.
(it was for about 3 weeks, but no matter what I do, almost enough hair to clog the drain comes out every time i take a shower and run my fingers through my hair. :/ )
OH, I'm also looking to get my hair to grow out..
It was down to my waist early 2008, and i cut it off to my shoulders in march, 2008. :( I miss my long hair.
Treating guinea pig baldspots?
I just got my guinea pig from a pet store and realized she has bald spots and the skin is very flaky in those two spots. Is there a reason for her bald spots? Would Vitamin C help? I also noticed her ears are a bit chewed up. Anything will help.

ear stretching help.?
(i know its long sorry but just readdd please. ;)
so last week i started stretching my ears, i started with a 16. went in totally fine, no pain at all so i decided to go bigger sooner. i felt like my ears could handle it so i skipped 14 which i know it's really bad to skip sizes, but i was eager to be at a bigger size. so this afternoon i went to hot topic and bought acrylic tapers. ---> hi, let me add i know nothing about ear stretching and im stupid and just decided to do it. aanyywaaay i didnt know this until now when i was reading online that i dead stretched. i just pushed the round topped acrylic 12 into my right ear, went in okay and my left ear went in half way and wouldnt go through. so i put my 16s back in and later tried it again and i struggled a little now theyre both in. butt they are still kind of sore and like uncomfortable if i touch them. (i put them in like 4 hours ago and have been playing with them all day) is this normal?
and if i let them heal for about a month before i go to a 10 and do sea salt soaks and put vitamin e oil on them will i be okay? i dont want a blowout or anything.
haha yeaah im nervous i gave myself a blowout. but if i had one would i know for sure i had one? or is it just sore from skipping a size and dead stretching?
