I don’t know where you are living, but here in the DC Metro area, it is HUMID……so humid that you can barely breathe when you are outside.  The only time I like to be in that much humidity is if I have sand between my toes and a cocktail in my hand.  Along with the insane humidity comes inasnity for curly haired ladies.  If you are having “fluffy issues”, I am right there with you as I have had this issue all my life.

Their Jasmine & Henna Fluff Eaze Treatment is a divine smelling thick cream that calms and tames …read more

Jennifer Connelly at the NYC Premiere of  her latest movie, The Day The Earth Stood Still
Don’t hate Jennifer because her hair is sleek, shiny and beautiful. I’ve got the Insider Secret on how she does it, and it’s easier than you think. It use to be that trying to straighten your hair, especially thick, and/or curly was a big job. Smoothing every last kink and trying to get Jennifer Connelly’s mirror-like shine was too much work and almost impossible.
That was until products like Remington’s Shine Therapy Conditioning Straightener, a celebrity favorite for Red Carpet Ready Hair that makes the task …read more

I received one of the best how-to books ever last week. It left me wondering, where it was a month ago when I was dealing with my own hair coloring disasters. As the book is just officially released today, I realize it was no where to be found, but I am happy to have it in my library now.
The book is titled The Hair Color Mix Book, and it is written by Lorri Goddard-Clark. Lorri is one of the most in-demand hair colorists in the world. Not only does she work at the Neil George Salon in Los Angeles, …read more

If you have an angled bob hairstyle, please forgive me. I just do not find this hairstyle flattering at all. In fact, I hate the angled bob hairstyle.

Starting with Victoria Beckham and now appearing on everyday stay at home Moms, this angled bob is everywhere – and everywhere is too much for me.
Not many people can pull of this look. If your face has a strong jaw line, this look is not for you. If you have a very long face, this angled bob will make your face look longer. And if you have a round or chubby face …read more

“Pluck. Pluck Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Damn…
Pluck. Pluck. Ouch – missed again!”
Well, that would be me trying to pluck my eyebrows on an almost daily basis. Sometimes the light is just not right, and time is of the essence.
Sephora must have read my mind when they decided to launch these Illuminating Tweezers.

You see, these stainless steel slanted tip tweezers not only grasp even the tiniest of eyebrow hairs, the very bright, white light illuminates the small area to be plucked. They even come in a durable case with mirror.
Genius!

Enriched with Caviar? Oh, yes. I am not joking.
Caviar Extract is full of Omega-3’s including Vitamin C and Cytokines, which creates a micro circulatory effect, thus encouraging hair growth.
I had the pleasure of giving some of Alterna’s Caviar products a try. I used the Caviar Moisture Shampoo, perfect for my sun scorched colored (very dry!) hair, and the Caviar Treatment Conditioner, which is a treatment in itself. I love the fact that a small amount of products is needed, especially with the conditioner, and my hairs was instantly soft, not dry, and incredibly smooth.

The line also includes some wonderful styling …read more

Is it me, or is there something wrong with this picture?
This is the soon to be 40 year old, country mega-star Faith Hill. She is stunning.

More than fit for a magazine cover, but Redbook didn’t think so. Jezebel.com got this “before” cover shot of Faith prior to being Photo Shopped to the editor’s liking.
I am appalled. What are we supposed to aspire to? She is beautiful. Why did the editor feel that she needed so much re-touching?
