Brazilian Keratin Treatment/Brazilian Blow-out-...
Yes! Absolutely. You should be very worried. The Brazilian Blow-out is banned in Brazil and other countries, for a reason.
So many women are using this treatment to make your hair look smoother, and stylists are using it to make good money. So what’s the problem? You love it, your stylist loves it..
There is a big problem. This product has killed a woman (client) in Brazil, and has since...

Bring the best out of your hair, treatments decoded!
Do you ever look around at all the healthy, shiny hair on others that seems to cooperate so well and think, “Why can’t my hair be that nice?”. Or maybe you struggle getting your hair smooth because it feels so unruly. In my experience, I notice that almost half of people are not giving their hair...

Product Review-Lash Blast!
Holy Mascara! I recently bought a drugstore mascara for myself, and believe this is the best mascara I’ve ever used. Ever! There are a few different variations: Length, Luxe(shimmers), and Volume. I purchased volume. There is no doubt the formula is wonderful, but what really makes this mascara is the brush. There are so many little...

Color Gloss- for the hair!
Gooooood afternoon! I have a question for you all: who knows the beauty in a great color gloss for the hair? Some of you, one of you, none of you??!! I shall explain! Think of a color gloss as a tinted piece of cellophane. It ADDS hue and shine. It’s a top layer that deposits something only- does not have the power to remove what it...

I am greatly inspired to write about the power of women tonight. It is no secret that having a social life is part of a healthy, balanced life. Our own social life. But most importantly, from a woman’s standpoint, one with inspiring and strong women. We may have partners that “complete us”, or we may not, but there is no doubt...

Shampoo and Conditioner
Healthy and great looking hair absolutely starts with a high quality shampoo and conditioner that is made for your hair type. Prepping the canvas, if you will. If you want your hair to behave, you simply must give it what it needs. That may be clean moisture, protein, more intense moisture with some natural oils- you get it. First identify what your...

Summer changing your make-up?
Instead of the summer heat melting your face.. fight back with an oil absorbing foundation. It’s very hard to avoid make-up meltage when it’s 100 degrees outside.. but there are some things that you can do if you want to stay fresh. Switch your foundation to a powder, or a mattifying liquid. ColorSciencemakes some really great...

Summer hair care, are you dry??

Is SPF a given? Yet??
A question and a statement really. As it’s over 100 outside, it’s certainly on my brain. We know unprotected sun exposure causes skin cancer and premature skin aging, right? Are we all using protection on at leastour faces everyday?? Of all I’ve tried in my years, 2 great wearing and performing suggestions for every day use: Face- Beauti Control Cell Block...
