Website: www.hair-dallas.comI don't know if I'm qualified to talk about relationships in general, but I know one thing for sure… at my age, I've had my share of relationships with men.
I used to pride myself in knowing that when my girlfriends or clients came to me to vent about their relationships, I could give them an answer straight up.
I have been on my own for a long time and the thing that separates my opinions from my American girlfriends is that I come from a Middle Eastern culture where women are suppressed and kept away from choices-- whether in picking their mate or any other aspect of their life.
By leaving my home country and breaking away from the cultural net that is very dominate in Iran, I considered myself free and liberated. I adapted a lot of ways that men use to date, just so I wouldn't come up short!

Website: www.hair-dallas.comI was asked to share what I know about women's hair loss in this blog but I'm going to take it one step further and talk about the importance of hair for women overall.
At the beginning of my career I started getting interested in extra hair….specifically hair extensions. I found it very mesmerizing watching people use hair pieces, wigs and anything to change or accessorize their looks and pay the big bucks for anything that led to changing their looks even if it was going to be temporary. What I realized later was that the older we get, on top of wanting more hair.. you need more hair due to hair loss!
I never thought I would be one of those women who I used to research!

Website: www.hair-dallas.comHello to my sisters around the world! I am honored to have been asked to be a blogger for Platforms.tv and the Women's Broadcast Network. Women must connect and help one another now more than ever. I look forward to being a part of our "global sisterhood".
My name is Zoya Ghamari. Zoya means "life" in Russian. I was named after a female partisan Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. She joined the partisan movement at the age of 17, and carried out acts of sabotage behind enemy lines. She was captured in 1941 in German territory, and tortured in the village of Petrischevo. She gave away no information, and was executed by hanging. She was left hanging there as a warning to the Russians, her body mutilated by German soldiers.
Her last words were:
"Here comrades! Why do you look so gloomy? Fight on, fight on!"
...and to her captors, she leveled a warning:
"There are two hundred million of us! You can't hang us all!"
Months later, her body was taken and buried, and even later it was exhumed and buried in Moscow. On February 16, 1942, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya was posthumously awarded the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union." She was the first woman to receive this distinction.

Website: www.hair-dallas.comMy first blog was about my journey from Tehran to the United States. Now I would like to share my experiences being a woman in the US.
This is the country we love. I have had lots of opportunities to travel around the world. This is as good as it is going to get! Believe it, this is heaven! The answer is subjective but my personal answer is yes.
I own a salon, I am a hairstylist and as all of us know, we don't just do hair! I see people all day. You have to have some social skills to do what I do. I love what I do so this makes it 100 times better. The majority of my clients are women. Different ages, different styles but we all have got one thing in common. We all belong to this sisterhood that doesn’t end at the border of the United States.
I have spent most of my adult life in this land and I still think all women are the same in a lot of ways regardless of their race, color, ethnicity or even social status. There are parts of this world that women don't even have a social status. Have you ever felt sorry for them?
