Instant Hairclips!


Do you have a favorite charm, bead, button or ribbon? Grab an inexpensive glue gun, some glue sticks, and bobby pins and you are ready to rock an roll! Just add a dab of glue to the back of the charm and place the bobby pin (in the correct position) in it. Once it sets place another dollop of glue on top and let dry. Voila! Now you've got an awesome hair adornment!:)

Bling String!

Bling String are pieces of tinsel like string that are tied into one single strand of hair. They come in an assortment of colors and can be washed, blown dry, curled and flat-ironed. They last until that one piece of hair sheds. A sparkly brown strand in brown hair can add a subtle pizzaz to ones locks, while bright blue, green or red in brown hair can really add a punch. It generally costs $2-$5 a strand and is a great way to spice up hair for an event!:)

Hair Feather Extensions!

Hair Feather Extensions are the new thing in hair decor! They come in a variety of colors and in solid or grizzly textures. The feathers can be worn as one single feather, many grouped together or a few throughout the head. They are locked into place with a metal ring that is clamped into a section of hair using a special tool. They are removed using the same tool. You can wash, blow dry and style with them in and they may be curled and flat ironed on a medium setting. I offer this service starting at $10. Give it a try!:)

Hair tip of the day: Q: How do I clean my flat-iron?

A: When the flat-iron is hot use a damp wash cloth to wipe down the appliance. If the build up is more resistant, let the iron cool down and use rubbing alcohol to completely wipe it down. Usually just a damp cloth on the hot iron will do the trick. You can do the same for curling irons. :)

Hair tip of the week: Choose a color that is appropriate for the season!

The hair color that we wear in the winter wears a lot different than the hair color that we wear in the summer. There will be more color fadeage due to the sun, so redheads may want to go a more natural shade and save the vibrant shades when the sun won't be beating down on it as hard. Also, if you like to swim in the ocean, lake or swimming pool lay off of the fashion colors like orange, red, green, blue, etc. or you will leave a trail of dye behind you and running down on your face and body. If you are a blonde watch the swimming in the pool also because you may end up with green hair and not by choice! Getting regular semi-glosses will put a protective barrier on the hair. At the end of summer lo-lites will most likely be in order to give depth to sun-bleached hair. With the right decisions you will spend you summer having fun in the sun and water without any embarrasing repurcussions!:)
