Getting dumped is a terrible feeling as you lose someone you love. However the worst part is dealing with rejection. Once you get dumped you wonder whether any good will ever happen to you again. Later you would realize how much you have learned from your experience and you are definitely strong enough to face any difficult situation in future.

Even if teens sense a break-up they tend to deny it and somehow convince themselves that are wrong; this is the reason why getting dumped comes as such a shock. Following are some important signs that you are about to get dumped:

1. Your Gut Told You - Guts don't talk, you say? Well you're certainly suspicious of something; else you wouldn't be reading this article. Sometimes gut feelings are right.
2. Your guy appears to be busy with his work all the time. He has no time to spare for you. Remember that no matter how busy a guy is he would definitely take out some time for you if he is in love with you.
3. He makes himself seem so engrossed in his own work that he doesn't even have the time to call you up. Only you have to do the calling yourself all the time. He stops calling you up. You are no longer on his priority list. Most of the time he wont receive your call, it's just the answering machine mostly. These signs are not good at all.
4. His family, his friends suddenly become not so friendly. They probably know what the truth is.
5. Awkward Phone Conversations - This is usually a dead give-away. If you're used to prolonged, laughter-filled phone calls that could go on for hours and then suddenly your phone calls are barely lasting 5 minutes, maybe they're trying to avoid you. Don't base this off one phone call. You'll notice it in a series of phone calls. If they aren't talkative and barely add anything to the conversation, they might be losing interest in you.
6. Connection is weakening and love is gone: You guys no longer connect anymore. All his affection for you has suddenly disappeared into the thin air. No hugging, no holding hands.
7. You two don't get along well anymore. There is a lot of quarrelling going on. He makes a big fuss out of small issues. He finds fault with everything you do.
8. Vague Plans - If they're always trying to get out of dates or constantly changing them, this could be a sign that you're becoming less important. If you suggest a future trip or vacation and they only seem vaguely interested, they don't even plan on being with you that long.
9. Stupid Arguments - Another give-away. Are they getting mad at you for no logical reason? Taking all their stress out on you? Arguing over ridiculously silly, small things? This isn't always a sign of a break-up. If you're always giving in, being that "nice guy/girl", and agreeing with them all the time, they may be arguing simply to see if you'll stick up for yourself. Sad, but true.
10. The Dreaded "Excuses" - This may be obvious, but if they start the whole "we should take a break", "maybe we should be open to other people" and so on, don't waste your time. It's their way of ending it like a coward. Chances are you won't be hearing from them again.
    

The bottom line is; if you're not happy and you don't see a long term future with this person, save yourself time and get a head start on the healing process.

Some of you may disagree and say "If I keep working at this relationship it WILL succeed!" Unfortunately, it takes two people to make a relationship work. It isn't like your goal is going to be learning to ride a bike, winning a competition or running a successful business - these goals you have an element of control over.

Trying to make it "work" is setting a goal to change what goes on in someone else's head; which is something you'll always fail to achieve. If you're unhappy with how your partner is behaving, I strongly suggest you take action and change your situation for yourself. Spending all your energy attempting to make them interested and preventing them from dumping you will just make you feel terrible if or when they actually do.

That's not to say you can't keep them interested, or you can't win them back. You can. But you can only do this by changing yourself to become more attractive emotionally and physically, and not by changing your lover.

Pregnancy changes your entire body, and your hair is no exception. Many women experience luxuriant growth and increased thickness, while others find that their once lively locks have become dull or limp.

Increased Estrogen

If you find that your hair is growing fast and thick, you can thank the increased amount of estrogen in your body. Estrogen sends a signal to your hair follicles that they need to get growing and stop shedding. Increased estrogen also revs up your metabolism, which brings nutrients to your scalp as well as to your growing belly. In addition, many women eat better and take vitamins during pregnancy, which leads to healthy hair growth as well as a healthy body.

Texture Changes

If your mane seems to change texture – from straight to curly, full to limp – or won't take a perm, that's because the pregnancy hormones also affect the very structure of your hair. They get to the cortex, which is responsible for giving hair its curl and elasticity. According to one mom of a 17-month old baby boy, "About three months into my pregnancy, my hairdresser pointed out that my hair seemed thicker and curlier than before. And I had always had rather fine, straight hair."

Work With Your Hair - Not Against It

Instead of trying to fight these changes, learn to work with them. Running to the salon every few weeks to trim back your new growth can be expensive and time consuming. Why not revel in your newly lush locks? Invest in some snazzy hair accessories to dress it up or wear it down in all its lustrous glory. If you find yourself suddenly wavy or curly, invest in products that help define the shape and fight frizz. Give limp locks a boost with thickening and volumizing products concentrated at the roots. If you're not sure where to begin, ask your stylist for tips and product recommendations.

Treat Yourself

To keep your hair and scalp in good condition, treat yourself to a soothing aromatherapy scalp massage once every few weeks. Simply add several drops of essential oils to a half-cup of warm vegetable oil. Essential oils considered safe to use during pregnancy include lavender, neroli, patchouli, sandalwood and ylang ylang. Massage into your scalp and ends, then wrap your hair in a warm towel and relax for as long as you like.

Hair and Health

Since hair is one of the first indicators of good health, women suffering from severe morning sickness or poor eating habits should look to their hair for warning signs that they're not getting enough nutrients, especially iron. Even a small iron deficiency can lead to dry, brittle hair that's lighter than your natural color and falls out easily. If you notice any alarming changes in your hair, be sure to tell your doctor.

Post-pregnancy Fallout

After the baby comes, don't be surprised if all that beautiful new growth begins to fall out. Many women notice increased shedding from about 3 to 6 months after delivery, which is simply a sign of the body adjusting as hormone levels return to normal. It may take a couple of hair growth cycles (up to several years) before your texture completely returns to normal, especially if you wear your hair long.

Hair loss during pregnancy is usually temporary and you will soon have your lovely locks back again. It can be very upsetting, but it's a small price to pay for holding your brand new baby in your arms!!

A hair style chosen without your face shape in mind can distort your features by changing the balance of your face. A simple rule is that hair should be wide where your face is narrow vice versa and hair should have length where your face is square and vice versa.

Hair Style for Round Face

Round faces are, well, round. If creating a slimmer look is important to you, try to keep fullness away from the sides (no feathers or curly bobs) and create length at the top or bottom (or both) of the style.

If you don't want long hair, part your hair on the side or add fullness on top.

The top of the head should be given a 'long' look with a layered, curly style,

If you have got a round or square face, avoid centre partings, which can emphasize the face's fullness. Instead, try parting your hair over on the side to slim the face.

Hair Styles to make a round face look longer include short or long cuts wilh an ultra sides, and a side-swept fringe.

  A severe, tied back style also makes the face look rounder. Avoid it.

Hair Style for oval Face

Oval is considered the perfectly balanced face, If you have an oval face, you are lucky, as any style will suit you.

 Making it a beauty ideal. Featuring a softly rounded hairline and a jaw line that is a little narrower than the temples, it can handle any hairstyle that works with your hair type.

If you would like to show off your lucky shape, avoid on-the-face looks that hide your features.

Choosing a hair style to complement an oval face is relatively easy. Even short styles work well as they accentuate the features.

Hair Style for Square Face

A wide forehead and square jawbone means you have a square face.

A style with the hair 2.5 cm or so, below the chin sits pretty on a square face.

Square faces are generally full and feature equal or near equal width at both the jaw also have a squared line. The objective with a square face is to thin it a bit and soften the shapes blunt lines - easy to do with face-framing layers , soft waves, or large curls.

Most hairdressers will advise you to keep locks well below the jaw to create the illusion of length. Stay away from blunt hair cuts, geometric lines, linear fringes or anything severe.

Hair Style for Rectangular Face

The oblong, or rectangular, face is long and slender. To flatter an oblong face, a hair style must do two things: de-emphasize length and create width.

Therefore, long, straight hair is a no-no, while short and medium-length cuts with curls or plenty of fullness are ideal.

Layered bobs are good and choppy cuts can work if the hair is directed off all the face. If it falls on the face it will only make the face appear slimmer.

Hair Style for Diamond Face

A diamond-shaped face features a narrow forehead, a narrow chin, and width through the cheeks. To normalize this shape, you should choose a hair style with width at the top and bottom and sleekness where the face is wide.

A good option is a chin-length hairstyle. You can experiment with looks that are cut to fall onto the cheeks or try styles that are created to move off the face - I have heard various hairdressers claim one or the other is the best option for diamond-shaped faces.

Hair Style for Heart Face

Heart shaped faces are characterized by wide foreheads and small, delicate chins. The right hair style can create a feeling of balance by making the forehead appear narrower and the chin seems wider.

Looks with width at the jaw - such as chin-length bobs - are perfect for this. When swept to the side, longer fringes break up a wide forehead without adding too much width to the top portion of the face.

Is your face heart shaped? Looking for something a bit different to give your hair style some oomph? Try sweeping hair to one side. It's an ideal way to de-emphasize the chin and make the forehead look narrower.

Choppy, chin length hair style adds width to a heart shaped face.

avoid ,a heavy slab of fringe that will make your face into a triangle.

Hair Style for Triangular Face

The triangular face is most narrow at the temples, slightly wider at the cheeks, and widest at the jaw line. Create balance with plenty of fullness in the fringe area and at the temples, moderate width at the cheeks, and sleekness at the jaw.

Does such a cut sound impossible? It isn't actually. Simply ask your hair stylist for a layered look with volume up top and tapering through the bottom. Plenty of short and medium-length hair cuts fit the bill.

Hair Style for Pear Face

The pear-shaped face is narrow at the forehead and flares out to great width at the cheeks and jaw line. Think symmetry by creating plenty of fullness at the temples and in the fringe area, and sleekness at the cheeks and jaw.

Full, layered looks that feature height at the crown are good for pear shaped face. Many hairdressers prescribe looks that fall well past the jaw.

Use your hairstyle to make close-set eyes look further apart: add width at and below the temples and keep the top flat.

• Use moisturizers because this is one of the most common problems with curly hairstyles. Check the shampoo and conditioner and ensure that the ingredients are will help moisturize your hair. Gently rub the moisturizing conditioner into your hair. Wait for a couple minutes before you wash it out. This would help you get best possible conditioning from your conditioner. Try a deep conditioner once a month.
• Always remember to avoid the use of hair dryers. Letting the hair dry naturally would prevent it from being frizzy. Avoid brushing or rubbing it harshly with a towel. Pat or dab your hair with the towel if required.
• Look at the leading brands that will give help you find special texture serums and creams. These would allow you to have curly hair sans any frizz in it!
• Brushing for curly hair should include wide toothed combs But avoid their usage for wet hair. Jumbled curly hair can be managed by using your fingers or a wide toothed comb.
• Try to highlight the curls that fall gently around your face. This would also bring prominence to your features.
• Always eat right and have a reasonable amount of proteins in your diet. This will add to the natural sheen of your hair.
• Choose the best haircut. The key to successful LONG CURLY HAIR CARE lies in the cut. Make sure your stylist knows how to cut curly hair because it requires different cutting techniques than straight hair. Getting the wrong cut can result in an excess amount of frizz and can damage your hair. Also, go for regular trims to cut off any damaged ends.
