How do i get candle wax extensions out of my hair?

i recently went to bali, and got extensions done over there with cadle wax. i know it sounds bad but for me this is the only way it worked. put 2 paper towels over your hair and then put the iron on where the extensions is glued and they should just come right out. you will need alot of patience though. also after that your gonna find that youll have alot of the wax in your hair, theres two ways that worked. one way was i put olive oil in my hair and massage it for half an hour before i washed my hair, but that only gets out a little bit at a time. the seconed way was i put nail polish remover on the glueie bits of my hair and used a comb and brushed it out. it hurts alot and youll find alot of hair in the sink afterwards but it is worth it in the end:) advise; if you ever want to get extensions again get theclip in ones there cheap adn they last for years. afterall dont ever do it again, unless you like getting it out;)

Why do you make a wish when you blow out a candle?

Since Prometheus first stole fire from Zeus, the allure of a dancing flame and its power to mesmerize us have made it the focal point of countless customs, rites, and ceremonies. We also recognize it as the symbol of passion, desire, and romance.

The origins of the candle remain shrouded in mystery. In Egypt, Greece, China, India, and Japan, the ancients used various forms of candles for the illumination of homes, for night travel, and religious ceremonies. In some cultures it was thought that the smoke from an expired candle carried one's wishes up to the Gods in the heavens.

For many thousands of years, the quest for a safe, affordable, and clean-burning flame remained a technological challenge. This changed only recently with the invention of the electric light bulb in the late 19th century.

Amazingly, though they are no longer a necessity, candles continue to grow in popularity. Their power to soothe the senses, calm the mind, and appeal to the spirit is as important as ever.

It is no surprise that the custom of "making a wish" before blowing-out candles is a time-honored birthday tradition. Mystical, magical, or merely entertaining, it is a moment when we can focus on making our deepest wishes come true.
