Brr, baby it’s getting cold, and we have to give that consideration when planning our hair care. I consulted Patrick Wellington of Wellington Hair Spa, he had some great tips on little ways we can begin to make a big difference. Sxc.hu Conditioning During the dry winter months, there is little moisture in the air and the hair and scalp tend to dry out more easily. After every shampoo, put a deep conditioner in your hair and leave it in for a minimum of 3-5 minutes. Roller Setting If you have medium to long length hair, instead of using a flat or curling iron, set your hair with rollers. The heat from any hair appliance, if used on a consistent basis will leave your hair dry and brittle and more likely to break off and get damaged. Silk... [Read more]

It’s ridiculously cold out today – I am wearing over-the-knee boots, knee socks, jeans, and a long coat and am still freezing my butt off. Sxc.hu Rumor has it though, if we keep our head warm, the rest of us will follow, and for that reason, hats are the must have accessory for the fall and winter months. But, we all have been there: Hats may keep our heads warm, but they can be very unflattering to our hair. And, as people may see us in our hats – or when we take the hats off, and in that case, we’d like it look, well, good. We consulted with celebrity hairstylist, Philip Pelusi, and he gave me some great tips on how to make your hair look fab in some of the most popular hats of the season. Fedora Contrast the angles... [Read more]

We survived Halloween, and it’s time to start to think about the next batch of holidays! I’m always looking for Christmas season styles, mostly because it seems from November through December, there’s parties every single night. Lona Vigi We consulted Lona Vigi, the celebrity stylist for LiQWD hair products, and she said two looks she’s all about this season are the messy take on the classic chignon, and the modern pony. Here’s her tips on how to make them happen: Classic Chignon (Messy Version) This chic and sultry look is a modern take on the classic, a somewhat disheveled, looser version. To give hair just the right amount of movement and keep it from being too close to the head, mix LiQWD SLiQWD and Professional... [Read more]

At the 11th hour, I have decided to be Glenda the Good for Halloween – pretty much entirely because: 1 – I was invited to a Wizard-of-Oz themed party 2 – I was in a Halloween store and saw a pink marabou witches hat TedGibsonBeauty.com Now, I realize this is imperfect because Glenda did not actually WEAR a witches hat..but rather a crown. And didn’t wear pink, but gold..but whatever. Pink is my signature color, and…the hat was cute. She does, however, have long bouncy hair. I, alas, do not. I do not want to wear a wig though – I experienced last year, as Mary Anne, that wigs tend to MOVE throughout the night..and become way way less believable. Or sexy. As I was looking for that final touch, I remembered that... [Read more]
