• Summer is around the corner, and everyone is going hair crazy!

    Summer is around the corner, and everyone is going hair crazy! What’s summer without soft, flowing locks or a sleek and shiny hairstyle?  Here are some featured salon products that’s sure to get you out and about while showing off your new ‘do!

    One of my absolute favorite brands right now is Pureology hair products. Not only do they feature a wide range of products for multiple hair problems and hair styles, but their products are also sulfate free! If you’re not aware of the “no sulfates” movement, here’s a quick lowdown: Sulfates are BAD for your hair. And if you have dry, brittle, damaged hair or curly hair, sulfates are even worse! Sulfates became popular in shampoos because they give your hair that “squeaky clean” feeling. Unfortunately, it also removes too much moisture (which is needed for curly hair) and if your hair has been chemically colored, it strips the shine and color from your hair, resulting in a very dull look.

  • How Do We Restore Our Hair To The Way It Once Was?

    We’ve all been a victim of dry and brittle hair. Whether it was due to lack of moisture or over coloring our precious locks, our hair at some point has been damaged. So how do we restore our hair to the way it once was? The first step in repairing damaged hair starts with two products; shampoo and conditioner. Though it may seem simple, these two important beauty products are often over looked by most women but they are you first defense in returning your hair to a healthy state.

    Shampoos are known to clean the hair and scalp, giving you a clean slate to start with, but did you know that most shampoos are too harsh for your hair, especially if it is already damaged? If you have dry, brittle, colored-treated or curly hair, use a gentle cleanser such as Pureology Hydrate Shampoo. This award winning shampoo is gentle and moisturizing which is great for those of us who have dry, brittle hair. And the best part is that it also contains zero sulfates. Sulfates are one of the leading causes of damaged hair because they contain harmful carcinogens which strip the hair of its color which in return makes your hair look dull and limp. Pureology’s shampoo is also salt-free which means that it promotes color retention and enhances your hair’s color whether its natural or chemically dyed.

    However, if you’re the type of girl that doesn’t like using different products and want to stick to one brand, Matrix beauty products are the most recommended. Matrix has a wide range of products that’s guaranteed to tackle any hair care dilemma or concern. No matter what your hair care problem is; be it color damaged, lifeless hair, or perhaps you just want to give your hair some extra TLC, Matrix has a solution for you. A few of their amazing products include shampoo and conditioners that are made just for color treated hair; an entire rejuvenating line that replenishes essential nutrients that have been lost over time to the hair cuticle and also Matrix has an organic and delicate product line for those of us with sensitive scalps.

    Now that you have some products in your arsenal to take on your damaged hair, say goodbye to dull, unhealthy hair. After using the beauty and hair products listed above, you’re sure to come out victorious with a head full of shiny, healthy hair.

  • Eyebrow Waxing – How To Guide

    Our eyebrows can grow back very fast and it is necessary to shape them regularly. Ideally, it is best to shape it every two weeks. Going to the parlor twice a month may not only be time consuming but also costly on your part. Paying for a professional beautician is quite expensive and can cut into your weekly budget. This is why we need to learn how to shape our eyebrows ourselves. We should know how to tweeze or wax our eyebrows properly. This can help us save money that we should be spending money on like that new pair of shoes hehe.
    .
    Nicely shaped eyebrows can make you look glamorous even in the absence of make-up. It also makes our face look clean and blemish-free. This is also one of the reasons why women love shaping their eyebrows even if the process is quite painful. A little pain is nothing compared with the benefits and beauty enhancement that it provides.

    .

    One of the most popular ways to shape eyebrows is by waxing. Waxing looks easy and fast when done in the parlor but will it give the same ease and speed when done at home by ourselves? The technique is to learn the process thoroughly how it is being done. Here’s a step by step process to guide you.
    .
    Eyebrow waxing should be done properly and carefully. If the instructions on the package kit won’t be followed correctly, it may result to hair follicles irritation or even infection.
    .
    You will need a professional waxing kit which you can buy online or from the nearest department store or drugstore. The kit should contain a complete set of jar, waxing strips or a muslin cloth and spatula. You will also need an eyebrow toothbrush, a good quality astringent, a white eyeliner to help you outline the shape of your eyebrow, tweezers in case a single or two hairs weren’t picked-up by the wax.
    .
    1.) Brush your eyebrows from the middle section of your face then outward in order to stay all in place and to soften them. You can apply a little amount of astringent around your eyebrows to anesthesize the area. You can also use ice cubes in order to numb the area around your eyebrows as this process maybe painful most especially for first timers. Using a white eyeliner, outline the shape you want your eyebrows to have. Be sure to identify which area you want your eyebrows to start and where it will end. Normally, the arch and the peak of your eyebrows is usually right above your pupil but it also depends with every individual.
    .
    2.) Once you are done with the outline, read the instructions at the back of the kit carefully so you can follow it properly. Give extra detail to precautions that are given. After doing the preparation of the wax as stated at the instruction kit, apply the wax thinly to your brow hair. Make sure that the heat of the wax is tolerable. Upon application, just apply the wax around the outline. Then, this is the painful part. Remove the wax with the direction against the hair growth. This maybe painful during your first brow waxing but the pain will become tolerable as you do it again. To make it less painful, only wax a portion of the brow hair at a time. Any hair outside the outline that wasn’t removed by the wax can be removed using tweezer.
    .
    3.) After doing the whole process, it is important not to expose your face under the sun as this will irritate the waxed area. Some parts of the outer layer of the skin is also removed so it is important to give extra care to that part as the inner layer of the skin is quite sensitive to the sun’s UV rays as well as some chemicals.
    .
    It is okay if you won’t make it perfectly the first time. After a few weeks, your brow hair will grow again but this time it will be lesser and thinner. It would be easier for you to do the process again.
    .
    Now, you have a guide to wax your eyebrows at home. Doing it yourself would boost greatly your monthly budget, at the same time, will truly make you beautiful and help you gain self-confidence.
