Hair Tinsel November 29, 2011

Hair Tinsel is a great way to add some sparkle to your hair just in time for the holidays!  What makes hair tinsel so great are the variety of colors and the flexibility of taking them in and out of your hair.  Just like this summers hair feather trend; hair tinsel is attached to a few strands of hair with a microbead that holds it in tight for as long as you would like but is also very easy to remove.  Lather now has hair tinsel in a variety of colors and are priced at 5 strands for $10!  You can also style them just like your own hair with blowdryers, flat irons, and curling irons.  They can be personalized for each person, you can make them blend into your hair color or you can make them stand out against your hair color.  They are a great way to add some glam for all of those holiday parties!

Ombre Hair Color November 18, 2011

This two toned hair color tend became popular during the summer months because it gives a sun-kissed look but is still continuing into the fall months.  The ombre trend has easy maintenance with those who color their hair because you are able to color your hair less which, also makes it is less expensive.  Ombre hair is defined as hair color fading from dark to light, or vice-versa but in a gradual sense, you are able to embrace the natrual  lighting of your ends.  We typically see the ombre locks are darker or more natural at the roots and lighter at the bottom.  This look can be very distinctive or a more subtle look.  Its young, fresh and a more care-free look that can be done with any hair color.  If you are intrested in this look you can always talk to your stylist to see what steps you can do to get your ombre hair color.

The Importance of Good Women’s Haircut November 2, 2011

Ladies we all know times are hard and we have to cut back on our expenses but our haircuts are not the area we need to skimp on.  Weather you are trying to get a new style or just maintaining the style you have, a good haircut can really make the difference for the health of your hair.  Even if you are trying to grow your hair out it is important to get haircuts on a regular basis and is especially true if you color your hair or put any other chemicals in it on a regular basis.  Long hair should be trimmed at least every 8 to 12 weeks to maintain strong healthy hair and to get rid of dead or split ends.  For most people with medium length hair they should have their hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks and for short hair every 4-8 weeks.  Every individuals hair is different and will grow at different rates so speaking to your stylist about how oftent to get your hair cut is best.   Another aspect to think about is the quality of the cut, sure in the beginning you may pay a little more up front for a great haircut  but in the long run it will pay off.   Your cut is going to last longer and look much better than if you skimp out and get a cheap cut.  So the quality and the frequency of a haircut is crucial for the health of your hair.

Fall Hair Care for Children October 12, 2011

It’s that time of the year for kids to be jumping in big piles of leaves and going on exciting hay rides.  Although these activities are very enjoyable during these Fall months, we also need to be on the look out for lice which is contagious and spreads very easily.  Lice is a very common parasitic insect that lives among the hairs in the scalp and feeds off  of tiny amounts of blood drawn from the scalp.  Lice is most common in kids 3 years to 12 years and is seen more in girls than boys.  Although lice is very annoying and can cause itchy and inflamed scalp they are not dangerous and do not spread disease and can not fly or jump. 

There are two stages to lice; eggs and adult.  Lice eggs are tiny yellow, tan or brown dots and look like dandruff but can’t be removed by brushing or shaking them off.  Stage two is when the eggs hatch and become adult lice.  Adult lice are no bigger than a sesame seed and are greyish-white or tan.  Although the lice are small and hard to see they are visible to the naked eye.  The best way to see them is by parting your child’s hair into small sections and checking for them with a fine tooth comb on the scalp, behind the ears, and around the nape of the neck.  A bright light and magnifying glass may also help.

If you find that your child is constantly scratching his/her head or complains of any itchy scalp that won’t go away take them to the doctor as soon as possible.  You can also check with the school’s nurse or childcare provider to see if there have been any children treated for lice recently.  If your child does have lice you should let your child’s school/childcare provider know immediately and check to see what there return policy is.  Do not come into any hair salons and limit close contact with other individuals if at all possible because it is extremely contagious.
