It seems we're never quite happy with the head of hair we were given. Those of us with curly hair envy the sleek Cool Base Kole Calhoun Jersey , flowing look of straight hair, and those with straight hair wish their hair had our sassy ringlets. Our straight-haired counterparts do not take into account, however, the practicality of curly hair: ? Endless mornings spent removing tangled knots ? Fear of humidity and wind ? The longing to run fingers through your hair ? Days of uncontrollable frizz
Thanks to a new hair straightening technique imported from Japan Cool Base Matt Harvey Jersey , it is now possible to permanently escape the curly-hair blues. Known as thermal reconditioning, this process actually penetrates the hair shaft and chemically changes the structure of the hair by introducing amino acids into the hair cortex, where they are heated.
The treated hair remains straight until new hair grows in its place. Depending on how fast your hair grows, the treatment may need to be repeated once every six to eight months. Unlike other harsh hair straightening procedures Cool Base Mike Trout Jersey , these repeated treatments should actually leave the hair in a better, healthier condition over time than it was prior to your first treatment. This is because the Japanese hair straightening system infuses your hair with protein and collagen, leaving it with a sleek, shiny look and a relaxed feel.

Ok, I know that's six, but who's counting? These methods produce the best return on investment overall.
(c) Some notes on Migration
So you have followed my advice and built a totally new site. However Cool Base Nolan Ryan Jersey , your old site is not totally without merit, right? Some sites link to it and some customers have bookmarked it. You might even have a modest Pagerank on one or two pages. So how do you migrate to your new site without losing these hard-won benefits?
Meet 301 and 302 Redirects. When a browseragentspider requests a page or URL, the web server where the page is hosted checks a file called '.htaccess'. The '.htaccess' file can be modified to tell spiders that the page has either temporarily moved (302 redirect) or permanently moved (301 redirect).
It is usually possible to implement redirects without messing with the '.htaccess' file directly, using your web host's control panel instead. From a search engine perspective Authentic J. C. Ramirez Jersey , 301 redirects are the only acceptable way to redirect URLs. Although Google can handle 302s, the other engines struggle with it.
In the case of moved pages, search engines will index only the new URL, but will transfer link popularity from the old URL to the new one so that search engine rankings are not affected.
So where you have pages with decent PageRank Authentic Kole Calhoun Jersey , use your control panel to place a 301 redirect to the equivalent new page. I would let this run for 6 months or so, then delete or archive the old pages altogether.
