3 Tips for a Big Body Blowout

Big 90’s blowouts are back and achieving the massive volume and bounce is so much faster now. “Using products that reduce drying time, brushes that heat up and blow dryers with ionic features all help to create a big body blowout in less time,” says Anna Peters, Sam Villa ArTeam Member and owner of re:TREAT Color + Hair Design Studio @annas_hair_retreat. See the technique here.

Here are 3 keys to a big body blowout:

Apply a leave-in treatment and primer for soft long-lasting body, faster drying time and heat protection. Try a leave-in from K18 and/or Redken Quick Dry Primer.
Make sure the air concentrator is attached and angled in a way that makes it easy for arms and body to move. Blow dry hair in the direction it should lay with the concentrator moving down the hair shaft for extra shine. The ionic feature on the Sam Villa Professional Light Ionic Blow Dryer will add extra shine.
Once 80% dry, take large sections, elevate hair with 1.5” round brush for maximum volume and wrap around the barrel of a brush heating hair in that shape for body and movement. Clip hair into place with Sam Villa Dry Sectioning Clips (they won’t leave a mark in the hair) and cool completely. Once cool, remove clips and use hands to style.

Advantages to Fostering a Child

Becoming a foster carer is one of the most important decisions you can make. You will be in a position to truly turn a child’s life around. At the same time, there are benefits that accrue to you as the foster carer. Here we look at the benefits to foster children and their carers that arise from the fostering relationship.

Advantages for Foster Children

Foster children gain many benefits from being placed in a suitable foster home. Here are a few:

A Different Family Dynamic

When a child is placed in foster care, they are coming from a background of trauma, such as being neglected or even abused physically, emotionally, mentally, and/or sexually. This derails the normal developmental milestones of each successive stage of childhood. But you can make the difference between developing mental health issues such as PTSD and depression and the warmth of a stable, loving home.

A Safe Environment

After the challenges of abuse and neglect in the primary home, a foster child gains a safe environment when they are placed with the right family or carer. A child needs to feel safe enough to express their needs and opinions. You give children this chance as a foster carer.

Academic Success

Almost 50% of foster children have been found to have lower reading skills than their peers. Being placed can help the child to focus on their schoolwork in a safe environment. The first eight years of life are crucial to setting down the healthy psyche and developing correctly on the mental and emotional levels. As a foster carer, you can ensure the successful completion of a child’s schooling.

Advantages for Foster Carers

Foster care is not thankless work. As well as financial compensation and other benefits, there are many rewards to be reaped. Here are some benefits you will experience as a foster carer:

A Fostering Allowance

Foster carers enter this career to make a difference in a child’s life. However, they are not expected to do this purely from the goodness of their hearts. Find out more about the fostering allowance and other support that foster carers receive from fosteringpeople.co.uk.

A Great Career

You will find fulfilment in being a foster carer. It is a career choice as you need to be able to focus on the wellbeing of children in your care. Apart from being well-paid, you will be able to grow and develop new skills and feel emotionally rewarded as you take care of these children in need. You will see the results of your efforts and be inspired to continue in this role.

Long-term Foster Care

When you first embark on a fostering role, you will usually be given short-term placements as you find your feet. Later, you may have the opportunity to engage in long-term foster care. This is doubly rewarding. Not only are you helping a child in need, but you also get to include the foster child as a permanent member of your household.

Changing a Child’s Life

The greatest reward of being a foster carer is knowing that you have given a disadvantaged child a new lease on life. Watching a child blossom into a happy and productive person is a wonderful feeling that makes it worthwhile.

Make the decision today to change a child’s life for the better.

The Most Popular Chain Styles

Necklaces have long been an accessory that can signify many things. Although we have more costume and budget options than ever before – there are some styles of chain that have stood the test of time.

Figaro Chains

The Figaro chain is interesting to look at, and unlike some other chain types, it keeps its classic style even when at thinner or thicker weights. The chain is flat, making it very comfortable to wear, and while it originated in Italy – it is popular the world over.

Wheat Chain

The Wheat chain isn’t seen as often as a standard link chain, but it has one of the most complex and intricate details of any chain around. The way the link is shaped means they interlock – and look similar to the wheat grain head – hence the name. For this chain, the thicker the chain, the better it looks – as you can see, the design and intricacy are much better.

Paperclip Chain

The Paperclip chain is seeing another rise in popularity. The name of the chain is named after the shape of a paperclip; the chains are elongated and dainty. The paperclip chain is ideal for stacking, and that is what has made it so popular with influencers!

The design isn’t too thick or thin, and because of that, it is easy to dress up or down and will always stay on trend.

Cuban Chain

Cuban links are chunky and have one of the longest histories in the shape and design of chains. The chains are created from interlinking links, and that is what gives them such an unusual look. Often the best Cuban links will be on the heavier side – and made even more eye-catching with diamonds and other engravings.

Just like the paperclip chain, the Cuban chain works well dressed up or down – however, they are usually on the heavier side in terms of weight.

Rope Chain

Rope chains are excellent at catching light; as they move around, the ropes twist and sit in different positions. Rope chains sound just like the name suggests; they are chains that interlink to give the look of rope. One of the popular trends is to have them in different colors so that they have even more dimension to them.

While some of the chains on the list will lay quite flat to the skin, this one doesn’t – so it can be great as a statement piece.

Box Chain

Square and stunning, the box chain had been seen more often in the last few years. It is square, so it gives an interesting shape, and with small gaps between the boxes, they aren’t too heavy – so they can compliment a more delicate outfit.

Due to the design, this chain does feel heavy when held in hand – but less so when it is being worn on the next.

A chain can be one of the best ways to add some spice to your outfit, and if you struggle with getting accessories right, here are some great tips and brands to check out: Fashion & Accessory, Two Of Our Favorite Brands – It’s A Glam Thing.

Making a Difference: The Impact of Fostering Children

Fostering children can be an incredible opportunity to make a huge, positive difference in a child’s life. It may be challenging at times, just like raising any child, but it is overall a very rewarding experience that can have a lasting impact on both you and them. Keep reading to explore the impact of fostering children and the various ways in which it can change lives.

Providing a Safe and Loving Home

One of the most significant benefits of working with agencies such as fcascotland.co.uk to foster a child is that it gives you the opportunity to provide a safe, loving home for a child – sometimes for the first time. Children in foster care may have been through a lot in their short lives, and many have experienced trauma, abuse, neglect, and other difficult situations. As a foster carer, you can offer a stable, caring environment where the child can feel supported and safe. This is especially important for children who have been through traumatic experiences, as they need that sense of safety and stability to help them heal and move forward with their lives.

Improve Mental Health

Fostering can help improve the mental health and wellbeing of the child by offering a sense of connection and belonging that may have been missing from their life beforehand. Children who are in the foster care system often experience feelings of isolation and disconnection, and many struggle with forming healthy attachments. By becoming a foster carer, you can provide a caring, supportive environment that acts as a foundation for healing for the child. The sense of belonging, family and connection they get from living with a loving and stable foster family can have a profound impact on them and their mental wellbeing now and for the rest of their lives.

Build Self-Esteem and Resilience

Fostering can help children build better self-esteem and resilience, especially if they come from difficult backgrounds or have experienced traumatic circumstances. Foster children may have gone through a lot of traumatic experiences including rejection, loss, and abuse, which can have a seriously negative effect on their confidence and self-esteem. Fostering gives you the chance to offer these kids the opportunity to build their self-confidence and self-esteem in a supportive environment. With the right foster home, kids can develop a more positive self-image and become more confident in themselves and their abilities.

Support Growth and Development

Being in a supportive and loving foster home can also have a positive impact on the child’s growth and development. Children in foster care will often experience gaps in their education, and many struggle with emotions due to past trauma. By providing the nurturing environment that they need, you can help a foster child catch up on their education and overcome past trauma while developing new skills. You can provide them with a strong foundation to help them develop into a well-adjusted, well-rounded individual.

If you are considering doing something meaningful with your life, becoming a foster carer might be for you. In this role, you’ll play a hugely important part in a child’s life, providing them with the environment they need to thrive, grow, and overcome.

Emerging Beauty Brand Coco & Eve Expands Retail Distribution at Ulta Beauty

Coco & Eve, an award-winning, hair, skin and bodycare company is expanding its availability at Ulta Beauty. Beginning February 26^th, the Sunny Honey tan collection will be launching at select Ulta Beauty stores nationwide, making it the first brick-and-mortar partnership for the brand. Since its debut in 2018, Coco & Eve products have been exclusively sold online, and now, the expansion to stores brings greater access and discovery.

“We are delighted to bring our Sunny Honey range to Ulta Beauty stores,” says Emily Hamilton, Co-Founder of Coco & Eve. “This is our first brick-and-mortar presence in the U.S., and we couldn’t think of a better partner. Not only is retail expansion a driving goal for the brand, but product innovation is key as well. This line has been well received since its launch. The infusion of skincare ingredients in sunless at-home tanning products have proven to be a staple year-round.”

The six-piece collection is a current guest favorite and will be available in 452 Ulta Beauty stores in key markets such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The in-store launch follows the collection’s online success on Ulta.com and lands in time for spring as guests prepare for warm weather occasions.

The Coco & Eve community loves the Sunny Honey range. In 2020, one Sunny Honey product was sold every 20 seconds. The Sunny Honey collection is anchored by the cult-favorite Bronzing Foam, a first of its kind product utilizing Cellushape^™technology, which contains antioxidants to smooth skin, fight cellulite, and blur pigmentation. This was followed by the launch of the Bronzing Face Drops, offering a glow with 100% natural DHA while boosting the skin with hydration through nourishing ingredients such as dragonfruit and hyaluronic acid, and most recently introduced was the Antioxidant Face Tanning Micromist, a self-tanner for skincare lovers. The micromist technology allows for a fast absorbing, lightweight application for a streak-free glow.

The collection is vegan, cruelty-free and does not contain ingredients such as parabens, silicone, phthalates, and sulfates.

All About the Shag – the inside scoop on why it’s so hot

“Shags are fun, they embrace natural textures, are good for any gender, they’re low maintenance, versatile and easy to personalize…that’s why they will continue to be on trend in 2023,” explains Teresa Romero, Creative Director for Sam Villa and Artistic/Education Director for Jose Luis Salon @_teresa_romero.

They beauty is anyone can wear a shag.

Texture: Finer hair types need strategic point cutting for lift and texture, whereas coarse curly types usually need some strategic weight assessment to prevent expanding the shape too much.
Face Shape: All face shapes can wear a shag. Fringe lengths determine what parts of the face are complemented or minimized. Shorter fringe brings attention to the top half of the face and longer fringe brings attention to the lower half.
Layers: It’s all about the layers. The more layers and texturizing, the more the hair can freely move for that lived-in shaggy appearance.
Maintenance: A good shag should last a few months or more before needing a full reshaping. Shorter fringe may need a trim in between visits. Good home care that compliments hair texture and color is a must. Coarse hair needs more moisture and finer/chemically processed hair needs moisture and protein.

Model 1 (Kaitlyn Covington): This wolf cut is a hybrid of shags of the past with longer layers on top and a shorter modern fringe around the face. Depending on hair texture, styling is shake and go or shaped into place with a Sam Villa Signature Series Oval Brush.

Model 2 (Sophia Bachand): This brunette pixie shag is inspired from the Twiggy style pixie. To style, apply a mousse or styling cream and then use a Sam Villa Professional Light Ionic Blow Dryer with diffuser to set in place.

Mielle Launches Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz System for Textured Hair with Proprietary Refrigerate-to-Activate Cold Application Technology™

Put frizz, humidity, and reversion on ice! As “The Textured Hair Care Authority,” Mielle – the fastest growing Black-founded and women-led beauty brand – is launching its brand-new Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz System for textured hair – the first curated, step-by-step collection from Mielle specially formulated to target frizz triggered by damage, dryness, and humidity. Also introducing the brand’s proprietary Cold Application Technology™, this versatile, easy-to-follow 4-step system features products that work in conjunction with one another ($12.99 each; a system bundle will be 30% off to celebrate the launch until Feb. 13) to achieve both curly and straight frizz-free styles. For intended results, it is recommended to use the entire collection as a system since the products build upon and enhance one another.

To start, cleanse, condition and seal with the Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-In, and then style with the Curl Perfector for curly looks or Stay Straight Serum for straight styles. To up the cool factor, the Avocado & Tamanu Leave-In, Curl Perfector, and Stay Straight Serum feature Mielle’s proprietary refrigerate-to-activate Cold Application Technology™ which naturally closes hair cuticles tightly in place to block out humidity. Borrowed from popular skin care trends, this cold science allows consumers, whether curly or straight, to say goodbye to frizz and hello to long-lasting smoothness.

For the longest time, the power of cool in hair care has been relegated to the cool rinse at the hair salon, or the cold shot button on your blow dryer – an underestimated feature that helps to smooth down the hair cuticle to create maximum shine and help your style last longer. Now, Mielle’s Avocado & Tamanu Leave-In, Curl Perfector, and Stay Straight Serum harness the power of cool in unique and innovative formulas that you refrigerate to activate.

“Finding new, innovative and effective ingredients for textured hair has always been a passion of mine,” shares Monique Rodriguez, co-founder and CEO of Mielle Organics. “We have been researching the combination of avocado and tamanu for some time now, considering their incredible benefits for beauty use. With the launch of Mielle’s brand-new Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz System, we are not only bringing them to the forefront of hair care but also fusing avocado and tamanu with our proprietary refrigerate-to-activate Cold Application Technology™. It’s the perfect marriage of science and nature.”

Key Ingredients:

Avocado – Studies have shown that the minerals contained in Avocados help seal the hair cuticle cells. The combined potassium and magnesium present in avocados will give a smooth and shiny frizz-free appearance to the hair
Tamanu Oil – It is often used as a skin care ingredient for anti-aging and wound healing, and has been revered in Polynesian countries for centuries because of its incredible healing and nourishing properties. It is the perfect additive for beauty and hair treatments because of its deep-penetrating and lightweight absorption, healing, and shine-inducing abilities. Rich in nutrients like alpha-linoleic, oleic, palmitic and stearic acids, Tamanu Oil deeply nourishes the hair follicles.

For best results, use the entire collection as a system:

Step 1 – Gently cleanse with the sulfate-free Anti-Frizz Shampoo.
Step 2 – Follow with the Conditioner, rinse in cool water for 5 seconds to seal cuticles.
Step 3 – After rinsing the Conditioner, spray the Anti-Frizz Slip & Seal Leave-In Conditioner on damp hair. Section hair and gently detangle with a wide tooth comb from ends to root for even distribution. Do not rinse.
Step 4 – Select your style system. Pick the Curl Perfector for curly looks OR Stay Straight Serum for straight looks. Both provide an additional layer of protection against frizz.
- For Curly Looks: apply Leave-In Conditioner, apply Anti-Frizz Curl Perfector on wet detangled hair, section by section. Style as desired. For Wash-n Go styles, define curls layer by layer, using a 9 or 7 row brush or use 2 fingers to smooth product on the hair to clump curls and maintain curl pattern while preventing frizz. Use a diffuser or air dry.
- For Straight Looks: apply Leave-In Conditioner, blow dry hair. Apply a dime size amount of Anti-Frizz Stay Straight Serum, gently rub through hair from root to end and comb. Adjust amounts according to hair type, texture, length, density, and straightening needs. Do not overuse. Proceed to straighten with flat iron.

Usage Tip:

Refrigerate to chill for 1 hour minimum. Apply cold before styling. Refrigeration recommended for the Avocado & Tamanu Leave-In, Curl Perfector, and Stay Straight Serum, but is NOT required. Shake well before use. Do not freeze.

System Breakdown – $12.99 each

Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Shampoo – This shampoo replenishes moisture and gives the hair a clean slate as it gently removes residue from the hair and scalp. It leaves hair feeling soft, smooth and prepped for frizz-free styling.
Avocado & Tamanu Anti-Frizz Conditioner – This conditioner nourishes and smooths the surface of the hair for increased manageability and easier detangling. It leaves hair feeling softer, shinier, and prepped for frizz-free styling.
