Youtube University – White Hot Hair

January 14th, 2011

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.

L’Oreal Luo Color Tint in P01 is a luminous, pearlescent color

Matrix Essentials So Silver Shampoo is specially designed for this type of coloring process, to keep the color bright.

Anti-Aging Skin Treatments that Live Up to the Hype

January 11th, 2011

With all the inflated claims of “skin care miracles”, it’s easy to get frustrated. No skin care line is complete without a “breakthrough” product, but they can’t all be breakthroughs, now can they?  Spending $50 on the latest and greatest product is no guarantee of results.

However, plenty of research has gone into figuring out what makes those wrinkles happen for the simple fact that there are plenty of women willing to invest in making sure that they don’t.  Those smarty-pants scientists have figured out a few things!  By now it is common knowledge that taking certain steps will improve your skin and keep it youthful.  A solid anti-aging regimen is really built around three main things:

  • Sun protection
  • Exfoliation
  • Topical Vitamins A,C, and E.

Sun protection is critical, as sun damage is the leading cause of visible skin aging.  Just looking at the body parts that receive the most sun exposure is proof of this.  Ignore all those SPF warnings at your own risk.  Exfoliation is something that young skin does for itself on its own, but aging skin needs a little help turning over its own cells.  Mechanical scrubs, AHAs, and BHAs provide this critical step.

Topical vitamins are where you replace all those wonderful nutrients and antioxidants that Father Time is slowly depleting.  This is where you boost your collagen, defend your skin against free radicals, and firm the skin.

Philessential Antioxidant Serum Capsules are cleverly  designed to stabilize their potent vitamin compound until you are ready to smooth it onto your skin.  These capsules contain complexion-friendly Vitamins A, C, and E oils that smooth the skin and improve elasticity.  The individual packaging ensures that the volatile ingredients remain fresh and protected from oxygen exposure.

If you are beginning to see fine lines, Cellex-C Advanced-C Serum is a topical Vitamin C that reverses the signs, improves elasticity, and smooths the skin.

Optimum Hair Health – Start at the Source

January 7th, 2011

So much attention is paid to our hair.  We baby and fuss over our tresses.  95% of that attention is directed at the ends, the part we see.  This is what gets conditioned and pampered with treatments and oils and all kinds of concoctions.  Many of us are frustrated by the state of our hair after all that attention.

What about the scalp?  Unless it is dry and flaking, causing dandruff to sprinkle through the hair and onto the shoulders of our favorite sweater, many of us ignore it.  Have you ever considered that the full, vibrant hair you are after is being impeded by an unhealthy scalp?

A healthy scalp pays off in countless ways.  With consistent scalp care, your hair will be softer, more manageable.  A stimulated hair follicle is an awesome booster for hair growth and combating thinning hair and breakage.  Having sebum and dead skin cells trapped at the roots is counterproductive to all those masks and conditioners that are used on the ends.

Nioxin brand is devoted to scalp health, and their products are known for helping to restore thinning hair.  Nioxin Scalp Therapy is applied directly to the scalp, energizing, providing moisture, and relieving scalp tension.  Section the hair and apply it to the parts, much the same as a relaxer.

Nioxin Follicle Booster is a specialized treatment for thinning hair, but can be used by anyone wanting to boost the thickness and fullness of their hair.  It is a leave-in treatment that improves scalp condition and protects from free radicals.

Brand Spotlight: Keratin Complex by Coppola

January 5th, 2011

Keratin hair treatments have caught on like wildfire.  Women rave about having smooth hair without the hefty price tag of permanent hair damage, and Keratin Complex by Coppola is one brand that leads the pack in this breakthrough hair treatment.  The ability to choose between frizz free natural curls and straight hair is a breakthrough in the hair care game.  The Smoothing Treatment is a salon treatment that should be applied by a professional.  While many salon keratin treatments contain small amounts of formaldehyde, Keratin Complex Smoothing Treatment does NOT.  The results can last from 3 to a whopping 6 to 8 months, and will gradually fade from the hair without creating demarcation between new growth and treated hair.

It was founded by Peter Coppola, a renowned professional stylist, and the line features many wonderful hair care products.  There are a couple of standouts designed to aid the longevity of the salon treatment.  They contain high amounts of keratin, and some women find that they work so well, they are able to achieve the texture they want at home.

Keratin Complex Intense Rx is a high protein, ionic restructuring serum that is packed with more than 25% pure keratin.  Smooth this into the hair prior to blow out for remarkable improvement in the elasticity and strength of the hair.  It is not loaded with silicones that weigh the hair down – there are only two lightweight “cones”.  Leave the serum in for 15 minutes, preferably with heat from a hooded dryer or Hair Therapy Wrap, and then style.

Keratin Complex Infusion Keratin Replenisher is designed to extend the life of the salon treatment.  It infuses keratin proteins and emollients into the hair, and seals the cuticle with the heat of the blow dryer.  It can be used alone or with Intense Rx.
