whole. Coloring your natural hair should also be thought through carefully. Most disturbing is the weaves that come in the color of red, green, yellow, and a few other loud colors; some are even brave enough to wear them. Do not do it! It looks a mess.

Thirdly, do not bald your head; it's not a pretty sight. If your hair is damaged by hair-dye or various applications of perms, find a hairstylist that'll give you some advice on how to restore and treat your hair. Balding your head looks manly rather than womanly, so don't do it. It's not attractive.

Fourthly, short hairdos are also problematic for some women because it does not fit their facial features. A few women can pull it off, that is, if she has the striking face to complement that short hairdo. It's a risk that should not be taken if you will doubt it later.

In all, beauty lacks without the proper hair care. This may be taking it too far because so many women glamour themselves with it, but refrain from hairweave altogether and go for that natural look. If you must have it, keep it simple and desist from any style which is outrageous.

1. FACE ISSUE
The face is the most important feature of a human being because it holds the many features (nose, eyes, eyebrows, lips, chin, etc.); most importantly, it is the highest part of the body that holds the prime beauty. If the facial area is not right, then everything else is ruined, so why do some women make a mockery of their face?

Wearing makeup is not a problem, but applying too much is clearly a problem. You might as well take a stray paint and stray it all over your face, because that's how bad it looks with overused makeup. If you choose to apply makeup to your face, don't turn yourself into a clown with the over-pampering, and the usage of various colors. Stick to one color shade that favors your skin tone.

Your face should not be treated like an artwork; you don't have a full canvas to apply everything that you want. Yes, your face can be worked on like an art, but it should be done artfully and gracefully. So don't overdo the makeup. The excessive glitter-lotion and applying the wrong lip stick/lip gloss are problematic also. It's okay to use a small amount. You will be seen.

Moreover, the degradation of one's eyebrows is one thing that really kills a woman's beauty. Why do women go to such degree and remove something that is natural? It becomes more ridiculous when women use a marker (some women get a permanent tattoo) to draw their eyebrows. In all honesty, it looks nasty and funny, in a bad way. Leave your eyebrows alone; fix and shape it up when need be, but do not ruin it.

If you have committed one of these ten deadly mishaps or disasters, you have sinned. The proper way to combat these issues is to have self-awareness (be aware that you cannot look or be like celebrities you see on television, for you are a unique being), self-discovery (find something that fits you stylistically and go with it rather than conforming to the norms), and self-examination (reflect on your own conditions; you don't need a lot of money to look good, but you do need to be proactive and have the drive - and work with what you have).

If you avoid some of these deadly beauty sins and be yourself, you will enhance your beauty and feel proud of yourself.
