hair used to be once classified as a mode of beautifying one-self, but after coming across these pictures, i decided hair could also be a way of expressing ones personality indirectly.as illustrated.
such pictures could be examples of EXTROVERTS. 

THERE COULD ALSO BE FUN HAIRSTYLES.
On some other level. your hair could also make your personality fun and interesting. take a look at these examples;

unique colours

trying a new look every time will definitely make one a fun personality, so step out of your comfort zone and try something risky.
add a twist to your braids, ribbons beads just anything colorful.
lady gaga's unique styles.
   
HAIRCUTS DON'T HAVE TO BE SAD STORY ANYMORE!
 
Having a haircut done doesn't have to be as sad as people think it might be for the ladies, I'll present some really interesting yet beautiful cuts done by some celebrities and models due time. Which will bring out some CONFIDENCE in you.

 
you're the one who chooses how to express your own self, and keep note on that most of the time, people judge your personality based on your appearance, could be a positive or negative thing. so be wise on how you'd want to be perceived.

6 Reasons Science Says You Should Go Ahead and Have Some Coffee

  • It might help cut your risk of Type 2 diabetes. Researchers from Qingdao University in China explored 26 different studies (involving more than 1 million participants) and discovered that those who drank the most coffee were up to 30 percent less likely to develop diabetes than those who drank the least amount of coffee—so long as the java isn't overloaded in sugar. The researchers think that coffee may help because caffeine has been linked to lower weight and faster metabolism—two factors in diabetes risk.
  •  There are nutritional benefits to coffee. Not only are there antioxidants in coffee—and was even named the No. 1 source of antioxidants by a study from the University of Scranton—it also contains vitamins B2 and B5, manganese, potassium, magnesium, and niacin, all of which are essential nutrients.
  •  It may help ward off liver disease. Several studies have shown that people who drink four or more cups of coffee a day can help reduce their risk of cirrhosis (where parts of the liver are replaced by scar tissue)—by as much as 80 percent!
  •  Drinking coffee may help reduce your risk of some kinds of cancer. Rutgers University researchers found that caffeine may play a role in protecting you against skin cancer by blocking a protein enzyme in the skin. It may also provide protection against endometrial and colorectal cancers, and, in more good news for your liver, coffee consumption could cut liver risk by about 40 percent.
  • It may help your blood vessels work better. Some research has shown that coffee could have cardiovascular benefits, and a new study presented at the American Association meeting revealed that people who drank a cup of caffeinated coffee had a 30 percent increase in vascular function (compared with those who drank decaf) over a 75-minute period.
  • Coffee might make you happier. A study by Harvard School of Public Health found that the risk of developing depression was decreased with the more coffee consumed. Women who drank four or more cups a day had a 20 percent lower risk than those who drank little to none.

All of which reminds me...I skipped my morning cup this morning! Do you drink coffee regularly?

MAKE UP

EYES MAKE UP

Your eyes are what people usually first notice about your appearance.

The Different Types of Liner

You can use an eyeliner pencil, a liquid liner or an eyeliner brush dipped into a deep shadow to line eyes. If you use a pencil, set the line with eyeshadow because penciled lines tend to melt and won't stay put all day.

How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner

To apply liquid eyeliner, line the eye from the inside of the lashes outward in one big sweep. You can also line the eye from the middle of the lash line outward, then finish the line from the inner corner of the eye to the middle. Another liquid eyeliner trick requires a steady hand and will make eyes appear wider.
  • Start with a completely bare eye.
  • On the upper lashes, dot the liquid liner into the spaces between the lashes, wiggling the liner into the lashes. The result is not supposed to be a line. It's supposed to look as if the lashes themselves are super thick at the root.
  • Apply mascara.
  • Compare eye to other naked eye.

The Basic "I'm Off to Work or the Weekend" Eye

This is the perfect work or weekend look for women who want their eyes to "pop" without giving off the appearance of a woman who's really, really into makeup, so into makeup she has this site bookmarked in her Web favorites. The key to the basic eye is to apply with a light hand. The basic eye is all about appearing natural so consider a deep brown (versus black) eyeliner if you have light hair.

The Smoky Eye

Ahhh, the smoky eye. Perhaps there is no longer-running eye makeup trend than the smoky eye, which is in no danger of going out of style. The key here is to blend well. Also, make sure to keep all other makeup light or you risk looking overdone. You don't want the rest of your makeup to compete with your eyes.
