  Scalp micropigmentation: Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic treatment for thinning hair or hair loss. It’s sometimes also called a hair tattoo. A provider uses thin, small needles to deposit tiny dots of pigment (color) on the scalp. These dots give the appearance of thicker hair. Scalp micropigmentation pigments are cosmetic-grade, permanent inks. When a skilled technician performs scalp micropigmentation, it can hide thinning areas on your scalp. It may also hide birthmarks or scars. The treatment can also give the illusion of having shaved hair or a “buzz cut” on people who are bald. Scalp micropigmentation is noninvasive and doesn’t require surgery or anesthesia. Scalp micropigmentation is a semi-permanent way to hide hair loss by mimicking hair with pigment or ink. “As with all forms of permanent makeup, pigment is being manually deposited into the skin,” says Benvisto. “This can be done with a tattoo machine or hand tool, creating little dots that when spaced close toget...

  Selling your home is a process that can be an uphill task, especially when the time comes to put your house on the market.

  Believe it or not, a mattress that is too firm can also cause sleep and health problems. The mattress needs to support your body in a neutral position, one in which your spine has a nice curvature and your buttocks, heels, shoulders, and head are supported in proper alignment. If your mattress is too firm, it will push on those key pressure points and actually take you out of alignment. Conversely, if the mattress is too soft, those pressure points won’t be properly supported, so your whole body flops back. So it’s important to get the right level of firmness for your body. According to sleep experts, a mattress with less cushioning is more likely to support a neutral-spine position during sleep. When you sleep on a firm mattress with minimal cushioning, your bones bear most of the pressure.  Today, there’s a renewed focus on overall wellbeing and a healthy lifestyle. However, good sleep, which is an important element of good health, is often neglected. Your mattresses and p...

  Rain gutters, which run along the base of a roof, do more than keep downpours from drenching people as they come and go. By channeling water out and away from your home’s foundation, rain gutters reduce the risks of a flooded basement or damaged siding and minimize erosion and harm to your landscaping. What’s more, folks hoping to conserve water can direct runoff from gutters into a rain barrel to serve as a reservoir for the garden. Although rain gutters are simple structures, they come in a variety of configurations and are typically manufactured from five different materials—so whether it’s time to replace old and rusted gutters or you’re installing them for the first time, here’s what you need to know to make the best choice. Rain gutters are more important than you might realize. Though they can add a nice decorative element to your home, their primary purpose is to prevent mold, mildew, and other water damage. Gutters keep your home in place by directing rainwater away from...

  A cash offer on your home means the buyer offers you the amount of money you’ve listed your home for in cash rather than using financing methods. Having a buyer with the money to purchase your home outright allows you to avoid several time-consuming and expensive steps that can leave your home on the market longer than you want. From the owner’s perspective, where the buyer’s money comes from is inconsequential, whether from a financed loan or their bank account. The result is still the same. The difference is the ability to avoid the numerous contingencies that can pose risks to the buyer and seller, which is why many people prefer quick, simple cash sales. Cash offers remove many hurdles that conventional home sales place between the buyers, seller, and their shared goals. You don’t have to wait for the buyer to approve their mortgage loan, and you don’t need an appraisal. Cash offers are growing more popular as a result. Many homeowners want to sell their homes quickly. They d...
