My Pick: Shampoo & Conditioner

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Most shampoos and conditioners strip your hair of natural oils, or weigh down your do with too many additives. That is why there has been the new trend of sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. However, my girlfriends complain about not getting enough suds to really feel clean with most of the products in this catagory. White Sands Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner holds up on all accounts. I have been using it all month, and it gets my hair clean, has lots of suds, and smells nice. What more could a girl ask for? Well, it’s also sulfate-free, vegan-friendly, and a better deal, at around $12 each bottle, then their competitors.

The Best Hairspray.

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

elnett-hairsprayI have asked several hairstylists what hairspray they prefer because from time to time as a makeup artist I need hairspray. What do they all seem to prefer? Loreal’s Elnett hairspray. And, I’ll admit, after using it once or twice I realized exactly why everyone loves it so much - it is FANTASTIC. The hairspray holds your hair without leaving a sticky, unpleasant residue. Even better, one can lasts forever!

Star Trek, still in style

Friday, May 8th, 2009

As Star Trek opens across theaters nationwide, fans are flocking to the movies to see whether or not creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision has been maintained.

Basing Star Trek on the theory that technology is good when used properly, Roddenberry’s futuristic technology was the inspiration for a variety of medical and technical devices used today including jet propulsion, cell phones and home computers.

It looks as if Roddenberry also had an eye on fashion trends. Often people associate Star Trek fashion with one piece spandex suits; however, after watching the original Star Trek episodes, we found some of spring’s trends on Star Trek’s women of the past, especially when it comes to hair.

Characters are seen with blunt bangs, headbands and flowers. Even a few alien lifeforms can be seen in floral prints.

To see more Star Trek fashion, check out your nearest movie theater, but only if you can make it through the crowds.

Urban Headbands

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Feathered and flower headbands ready for Spring 2009

As spring emerges, headbands seem to be sticking around. Since January, shows have been previewing headbands of all varieties, but two styles are sticking out at Urban Outfitters: feathers and flowers.

The feather band is often seen decorated with a peacock feather, ranging from a thin band with some feathers hanging off, to a band that covers one side of the head.

The other trend includes bands that place a large object on the side of one’s head. Decorated with flowers or sometimes a knot, these headbands are usually worn horizontally around the forehead, but can be seen worn vertically as well.

What do you think? Would you wear one?

The Bigger The Hair, The Smaller The Hips

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

I’ve been traveling across the U.S. for the past few days, and being that I am in South Carolina for the next week, an homage to voluminous sassy hair just seemed appropriate. Bumpits are plastic inserts that create an instant “bump” of volume. So for all of you ladies that have been wanting to recreate a fantastic beehive like Joan Halloway’s in a matter of minutes, these are definitely worth a gander.

Bumpits retail for $19.99 and are available in four shades (light blonde, dark blonde/light brown, brunette & black) and two sizes (regular and “hollywood”).
