You’re better off not washing your hair than cleansing with inferior products.

You’re better off not washing your hair than cleansing with inferior products.  Sometimes in the salon when I talk about products, I get the sense that people think they aren’t as important as they truly are. are.  When I color someone’s hair,  taking the time to make sure it’s shiny, natural, and blended and my client tells me that they are using cut rate cleansers, it breaks my heart.  There is a big difference between products, and to me using the cheap stuff is the equivalent washing a shiny, new ferrari with comet. It’s not the right product for the job and it can actually do harm.   The right products protect and preserve color, and prevent breakage.  The wrong products coat your hair, yet simultaneously dry it out, and fade color.  My two favorite product lines , and yes, we sell them , are Minardi Luxury Color Care and Kerastase.   Minardi products take  parched, dried out and fragile hair and infuse incredible softness and lustre by using only top quality ingredients that mimic the lipids naturally present in hair.  Instead of simply coating, they nourish and heal.   Healthy hair equals a gorgeous color result.

 

P.S. You don’t have to throw away your old shampoo, you can use it to clean your makeup brushes.

Golden Globe trends 2012

I think I get more excited to see how the celebrities will look, what they’ll be wearing….than who will win what. Here are some of the looks you’ll see for the Golden Globes

Full, glamorous blowouts with a bit of a boho wave. Glamourous, and natural at the same time.

Gorgeous embellishments through the use of delicate accessories to finish off a romantic updo. Chanel used beautiful pearl accented hairpins to anchor their looks.

Braids and twist that look ever so slightly undone, as if a woman pinned up her own hair. Not as polished and perfect as you might expect, more of an easy, confident sexy look.
