Youtube University – White Hot Hair

January 14th, 2011 . No Comments »

Some girls go for the “natural” look… you are NOT that girl.

You like a statement. You like to be outside the box. You want to rock a hair style that lives up to your personality.

Going platinum blond is a bold step. While many women change hair color like they change wardrobes from one season to another, if you’ve never colored your own hair before it can be an intimidating step. EVERYONE is going to look, and that’s kind of the point, but you want to get it right. Hair grows back, but it is a physical risk as well as an emotional one. If you go for such an extreme DIY color, there is a lot of chemical processing involved and precautions must be taken. This Youtube video will walk you through the pitfalls and success of extreme at-home color.

Double Duty Beauty

January 4th, 2011 . No Comments »

Your beauty basket runneth over. Some of that stuff you bought because you needed it (or at least you really thought so). Some of it wooed you with great advertising. Some of it was just too gosh darn cute.

The good news is, many products are a lot more than just a one trick pony. They morph into a multi-use affair with the addition of common ingredients found around the house, or even as they are.

Conditioner

A good daily use conditioner is a necessary staple, especially for those who need to wash their hair often. It has to get the job done without being too heavy or creating build up. Paul Mitchell’s The Conditioner is an excellent buy that has stood the test of time. It was part of the original three products that launched the line back in the 80′s and it still garners praise from the industry.

Double Duty: If your hair tends to be dry, or if you are a curly, you could really stand to skip the shampoo step all together and do a conditioner-only wash. These products have enough mild surfactants to cleanse without the stripping and tangling. For a clarifying wash, add a bit of baking soda to your conditioner. This will help get rid of any product build up and freshen the scalp.

Get this – you can also use conditioner in place of shaving cream!

Mild Facial Cleansers

A gentle, emollient, water soluble (easily rinsed) cleanser is a good idea for all skin types. Even if you have oily skin, deep cleansing products aren’t necessary every time you wash your face. You want to retain moisture balance without stripping the skin. At night, when you want to remove your makeup and get rid of impurities from the day, Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleanser is a gel-cream that will sooth the skin and effectively remove cosmetic products and dirt.

Double Duty: A mixture of equal parts baking soda and gentle cleanser make a great exfoliating scrub. As you age, the skin does not slough away dead cells on its own as easily as younger skin. Exfoliating boosts cell turnover, gets rid of flaking skin, and leaves you with a healthy glow.

Moisture-Rich Conditioners

Especially if you are coarse or curly, your hair constantly craves moisture. Thick, rich conditioners are needed to tame your tresses and keep things manageable. Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Conditioner reconstructs the hair with keratin and argan oil. ISH Rescue Ionic Conditioner is an awesome detangler and protects the hair from heat styling.

Double Duty: Turn your conditioner into a luxury hair treatment with hot oil. Take a spoonful each of olive oil and castor oil. Castor oil is an excellent humectant and it’s also great for sealing the hair cuticle. You can also use your other favorite oils like jojoba oil and coconut oil. Heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds and mix them into 1/4 cup of conditioner. Apply to the hair and let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will work best with heat, and Hair Therapy Wrap will keep your hair warm for up to 30 minutes. Your hair will be super hydrated and the oils will give your hair a lovely sheen.

Brand Spotlight – ISH Recue

December 23rd, 2010 . 1 Comment »

What does it take to become the go to hair colorist for the Hollywood A-list? Huh. Let’s think about that one. That A-list is pretty short. There are probably plenty of stylists in L.A. who’d like to be on it. I mean they’ve all got licenses, right? They all learned how to color hair at some point, didn’t they?

Sarah Michelle - post "Buffy"

Clearly, Nelson Chan knows some things about hair color that the rest of us don’t. He’s been the colorist for Heather Graham, Alicia Silverstone, and even taken Sarah Michelle Gellar from “Buffy” blonde to a sultry brunette! He’s been continuously voted “Best Colorist” by both InStyle and Allure magazines.

Chan is born and raised in Hong Kong, trained in Los Angeles, and his star has risen fast. Still in his 20s, he has gone from a prestigious apprenticeship which led to a full-time postion with renowned colorist Stuart Gavert, to owning his own top-rated Nelson J Salon in Beverly Hills, and has now developed his own lines of hair care.

When you are a master at your craft the way Nelson is, you want to work with tools and products that meet your exacting standards, and may decide to create those products yourself. Great color can only be achieved on hair that is supple, healthy, and vibrant. ISH Rescue and Nelson J products were developed by Nelson and are used on his salon clients every day. His breakthrough was the innovative HRC crystals used in his ionic hair treatment. This treatment actually activates the crystals with the heat from a flat iron and leaves the hair silky smooth!
