Hair tip of the day: Quickest & Cheapest way to add volume!

If you only have time to do one quick thing to add volume to your hair, then do this: Blow Dry!!! Just dry your hair with your hands! It's quick, it's easy & it makes a HUGE difference! When you let your hair air dry it'll be super flat (which is superb for curly hair). The moment that you add heat it plumps up those hair strands (yes, even without product). So if you can't afford a volumizing spray & you don't have time for a round brush, just blowdry with your hand & go!:)

Hair tip of the day: People's Opinions!

When getting a new hairdo it's best to KNOW that you want to make a change. If you are even a little unsure, people's opinions will matter to you. And then what suddenly was a good change will be a bad change. When I changed my hair to Orange and Green I wanted it that way. So whether people say "That is great!" or "Why did you do that???", it doesn't matter to me. I like what I did to my hair and that is all that matters. So if you are unsure with a change and you do it anyway, if anyone says anything contrary (and they will), you'll end up wanting to change it back. So, when making hair change decisions, do what you want and what you like reguardless of others opinions!:)

Hair tip of the day: Don't choose your cut based on it staying out of your face when you work out!

I hear it all the time... "Make sure that when you cut it, it'll stay out of my face when I work out". "It" meaning the hair. What??? There are sweat bands, head bands, hats, clips, etc. to keep hair out of ones face. Why would you base your haircut on a work out instead of what looks good? I look like crap when I work out and that is the beauty of my work out look. Because when I'm not working out, my hair is fab!!! LOL! Seriously, choose the cut that looks best and worry about a way to keep it out of your face later. That is what sweat bands were made for by the way!:)

Hair tip of the day: Beautiful White Hair!

Hanging out at Filoli every Tuesday has given me a chance to see many heads of all white hair. It looks beautiful but automatically I notice the hair and not the skin attached. I have come to the conclusion that if your skin is showing signs of serious aging, this isn't a bad thing but if one's skin looks young, maybe the white hair isn't the first thing that should be seen. White hair says "I'm of a certain age", even if it's beautiful. If you have all white hair and don't want that to be what it says, a rinse of blonde can be a low maintence and easy way to liven it up a bit. Just a little bit of blonde can keep people guessing as to how "young" you are!:)

Hair tip of the day: Itchy Scalp!

Dry scalp can happen in any type of weather so it's nice to have a shampoo and conditioner on hand that can help! Therma Fuse Thermadan shampoo and conditioner is fantastic! It's got a peppermint tingle that really soothes! All Therma Fuse products are color safe and sulfate free. Nioxin is another brand that stimulates follicles and soothes itchy dry scalp as well. They have a color safe line as well. Nioxin scalp treatment is fantastic for sunburned scalp as well. It soothes and heals!:)

Hair tip of the day: Flea Markets and Street Fairs!

Looking for a fabulous hair clip or accessory? Go to your local summer Flea Markets and Street Fairs! You'll find unique, well priced items made by local artists. Help the community and snag a piece of art for your hair! It's also a great time to buy a Holiday or Birthday gift for a friend or family member with longer locks!:)

Hair tip of the day: Subtle changes make a big difference!

It doesn't take a HUGE adjustment of color or a cut to make a change. Even by staying with the same color but by going chunkier with the weave, it can add a difference that will jazz up your style. Instead of a blunt bang, having it texturized could zing it up for Spring. These small changes will make a difference without the shock of a big, big change!:)
