The top hair extension experts
The road to long hair can often feel rocky, not to mention long — hair grows at an average of 1.25cm a month, less if you have hormonal fluctuations. The good news for the impatient among us (or those who may have too hastily committed to a bob) is that there are an array of fantastic extension experts to help you bypass the boring shoulder-length stage.
The use of extensions and long-haired wigs was first recorded in ancient Egypt in 3400 BC. The process has come a long way since then. Gone are the days of lumpy scalps and uneven layers. Today's top extension experts will make the transition so seamless, you won't be able to tell where your natural hair ends and your extensions

Group stranded with Ice in Djibouti shipping container after removal from US
A group of men removed from the US to Djibouti, in east Africa, are stranded in a converted shipping container together with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) officers sent to supervise them after a deportation flight to South Sudan was stopped by an American court. The eight deportees and 13 Ice staff have begun to 'feel ill', the US government said. Eight men, from Latin America, Asia and South Sudan, and the Ice staff have been stuck at a US naval base since late May. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that the Ice officers began to fall ill 'within 72 hours of landing' in Djibouti, and continue to suffer from suspected bacterial upper respiratory infections. The Trump administration had attempted to send the eight detainees, who it said had been convicted of criminal offenses, to South Sudan, but a judge intervened to stop their flight in May, arguing that they were entitled to challenge the deportation in the courts. Mellissa Harper, a top official at the DHS and Ice, said in a court declaration that the detainees are being held in a shipping container that was previously converted into a conference room. The Ice officers are 'sharing very limited sleeping quarters', Harper said, with only six beds between 13 people. In the declaration, Harper said burn pits in Djibouti have led to Ice officials experiencing 'throat irritation'. She said the outside temperature frequently exceeds 100F (38C) in the daytime, and said Ice officials were at risk of malaria because they did not take anti-malaria medication before arriving in Djibouti. 'Within 72 hours of landing in Djibouti, the officers and detainees began to feel ill,' Harper said, but they are unable to obtain proper testing for a diagnosis. Harper added: 'Upon arrival in Djibouti, officers were warned by US Department of Defense officials of imminent danger of rocket attacks from terrorist groups in Yemen. The Ice officers lack body armor or other gear that would be appropriate in the case of an attack.' The declaration detailed the conditions that the detainees face, including only being allowed to shower once a day, and being subjected to 'pat-downs and searches' during trips to the restroom, which is 40 yards from the shipping container where they are being held. Harper said there is limited lighting in the area, 'which makes visibility difficult and creates a significant security risk for both the officers and aliens'. The Trump administration had attempted to send the eight men to their home countries of Myanmar, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Mexico and South Sudan. Those countries declined to accept them, however, and US authorities then arranged to fly them to South Sudan in late May. Brian Murphy, a US district judge in Boston, intervened, ruling that the administration had 'unquestionably' violated his earlier order, issued in April, which ruled that anyone being deported to third-party countries had the right to challenge it legally.

Among the products was the Chanel Les Beiges Sheer Healthy Glow Highlighting Fluid, valued at $91. She also uses the Rhode Glazing Milk, which sells for $80 and the REFY Glow and Sculpt Primer for $65 Tammy expressed her excitement, stating, 'I've wanted to do this for so long and I'm finally doing it. Lipstick is the one thing I wear the most when it comes to makeup.' The process began with Tammy's makeup being removed from her lips. She then chose the perfect pink colour for her new pout from a number of options. 'She had so many colours to choose from, and you can mix whatever ones you want together, which is so good,' she said. Tammy also previously revealed uses Fenty products by Rhianna, along with Nars, favouring the brand's liquid blush and highlighter. 'I love liquid blush and liquid highlighter, especially on days that I am not putting on proper makeup,' she said. 'You put on a tiny bit of liquid blush and a tiny bit of highlighter and it just boots your natural beauty a little bit.' 'I love creams and liquids a lot,' she added, explaining she prefers creams and liquids over powders. When it comes to fitness, Tammy told Daily Mail Australia that no matter if she's 'super busy', she will always 'fit in the gym somewhere'. 'As long as I go at least three times a week, then I'm good. If I don't have time to go at least three times, then it just stresses me out,' she said. 'I work out to keep my sanity, but between three and five workouts is usually what I do.' Tammy follows a routine of HIIT (high-intensity interval training), weights, resistance training involving booty bands, ab circuits and boxing. She revealed that the most common question she's asked about workouts is the amount of weight to use. 'I think the answer is really simple,' she said. 'It's just whatever is to your strength, which should be difficult for you to complete. It's going to be different for everyone.' 'People will get what other people are using and think they should be using that, but just work with whatever works for your strength.'
