How To: Sleek Braided Ponytail with Extensions

A regular ponytail just isn’t going to cut it for some…but a sleek braided longer than long tail?  YES!  “This look is not only accessible, it a great protective style for those with fragile textures.  And it can be elevated by sleeking it out, sub sectioning it for longevity and refining the hairline,” explains Jada Jenkins, Sam Villa AmbassadorMizani Artist and L’amour de Rose Salon Owner @jadajenkinsco.   Jenkins demonstrates how to achieve the look in just 10 minutes here.

Sleek Braided Ponytail with Extensions

  • Apply a heat protectant and smooth hair with a Sam Villa Signature Series Sleekr Professional Straightening Iron.
  • Create three sections – side, back and side – and leave face framing whisps out.  Sub sectioning helps smooth hair, make the ponytail last longer and prevents it from getting too tight.  Apply edge control around hairline and base.
  • Use a tail comb to make a clean part and comb through hair to remove bumps and lumps.  Secure back section into a ponytail.  Switch to a Sam Villa Artist Series Polishing Paddle Brush (nylon and boar bristles) to polish one side and then secure it to the back ponytail with an elastic.  Repeat on other side.
  • Finish with spray and freeze by applying low heat from a Sam Villa Artist Series Professional Blow Dryer to area.
  • Use Sleekr to add bend to face framing pieces for a softer hairline.
  • Add long extensions (with elastics fastened midway on the strands) by looping through the elastic on the back ponytail.  Leave sub section of attached hair out, place on top of head for later.
  • Create a traditional three-strand plait, weaving extensions and natural hair together.  If ends of natural hair stick out, tuck them under the extensions.  For a longer length, add more extensions while braiding by hooking and splitting a section on pointer finger and adding to braid.  Finish braiding until desired length. Borrow hair from longer lengths to make the ends even.
  • Take two pieces of hair from either side of the end of the braid and tie them in a knot wrap around and tie another knot to lock in the braid.  Add hot water to seal further.
  • Take top section that was set aside and spray generously with hairspray.  Smooth with a paddle brush and wrap around the base of ponytail (around elastic), spraying hair spray every couple of wraps for extra hold.  Tuck ends in with a tail comb, spray again and freeze by applying low heat from a blow dryer to the area.  No pins needed!
  • Embellish with accessories affixed on pins.

The “Retinol Coupling” Skincare Trend

Retinol Coupling results

Gorgeous Retinol Coupling results

The A Method®’s licensed esthetician Madelyn Cusimano shares how Retinol Coupling promotes healthy collagen production while visibly reducing the look of dark spots, uneven texture and signs of aging and discoloration caused by the sun and other factors.

How do I try the Retinol Coupling trend?

Start with clean dry skin and apply The A Method®’s Skin Perfecting Serum first. You do not need to wait long. Skin Perfecting Serum absorbs quickly into the skin, so just wait until it has absorbed into the skin. Then, apply Retinol of Pearls.

What does the Skin Perfecting Serum do?

This serum is a 6-acid blend that is going to target fine/lines, pigmentation, skin texture, decongestion of pores, and it’s also a skin brightener with the 10% tranexamic acid. It also has a pH of 1.5, so we know the product is definitely absorbing into the skin as well as balancing the skin closer to that perfect 4.5-5.5 pH range. Our skin naturally fluctuates in pH from topical agents, free radical damage, acne, taking medications, etc. When our skin is too alkaline, it’s in an agitated state and needs something to help balance its pH out so that it’s not in a constant state of irritation and inflammation. Most acne lies in the 7.5-8.5 pH range making it very difficult for the skin to take in any products without becoming more irritated because the skin is in an already irritated state at that pH. Skin Perfecting Serum is going to be a great product to use before Pearls of Retinol because it sets up the perfect environment for maximum product penetration. Allowing the skin to get the most out of the product.

How does the Pearls of Retinol work?

The pearls hold micro-encapsulated All-Trans retinol stable until mixing with the hydrating serum base when pumped through the dispenser. This also creates the perfect micro-dosing scenario that is supported by hydrating ingredients to avoid dryness, redness and irritation. You’ll see in the retinol world; people’s skin becomes very dry when using retinol alone with no follow up products on the skin. With Pearls of Retinol, you’ll experience the anti-aging, skin balancing benefits of All-Tans Retinol with less irritation, and better moisture balance for improved results after consistent nightly use.

The serum base features a unique mixture of ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, 24K Gold and several natural extracts that aid in moisture retention all of which are mixed with water. Water is the driver for retinol to absorb properly into the skin.

What makes this magic happen?

The magic happens when the low molecular weight of the Skin Perfecting Serum is able to dive deep within the skin, setting up the perfect environment for the Pearls of Retinol to distribute or as we like to say “micro-dose” the retinol within the deeper layers of the epidermis. At the same time the Pearls of Retinol provides hydration to the skin to avoid that itchy, red skin that happens while using retinol.

How often do you use both? daily?

Begin by using this combo 2-3X a week. On the days you aren’t using the combo, use only the Pearl of Retinol. This will help to build your skin’s tolerance, leading up to using the combo 7X days a week. If you have never used a retinol before, then I would use the combo 1-2X a week and then pick another day of that week to use only the Pearls of Retinol by itself. You can build your skin tolerance from there based on how your skin is responding.

How soon would you see results? 

If you’re using it consistently 6-8 weeks you should start seeing results.

Demystifying Round Brushes

 Most people own a round brush, but how many really understand how to use it?  Those that want polished voluminous styles often get frustrated when maneuvering a round brush at home – tangles, angles and fatigue get in the way of stellar results.  These tips from Karla Valenzuela, Sam Villa Ambassador and Redken Artist  @kolor.me. karlaa will make anyone feel like they are a pro!

“I advise to dry hair 70% and then turn to the round brush to stretch and smooth.  Using a round brush on sopping wet hair can get exhausting and take longer to dry, which gets very frustrating,” says Valenzuela.

Tips for Using a Round Brush

Section: Use sectioning clips to organize hair in the diameter and width of the round brush for better control. Working with sections that are too large can result in a lack of volume, less tension for smoothing and cause the brush to get tangled in hair.

Size: Large brushes are good for smoothing, straightening and creating volume with minimum curve/ flip on the ends for longer hair.  Medium brushes create more bend at the ends and small ones create the most bend.  A medium to small round brush is perfect for shorter length to shoulder length hair – using a larger size will not induce enough bounce.  A small round brush can also be used to create “blow dry curls” as the smaller the barrel, the tighter the curl.

Bristles: Boar bristles are good for textured hair that lacks luster because they distribute natural oils for a smooth shiny finish. Nylon bristles are more flexible which allow the brush to glide easier through hair and dry it faster – good for hair on the finer side or that lacks fullness as nylon bristles build maximum volume. Both types of round brushes can create volume, but the boar bristles give more tension to compress hair while nylon bristles have less tension for an airier effect.

Barrell: Ceramic coated brushes retain heat to help lock in shape and also speed up drying time which guests appreciate as many say their arms get tired.  Brushes with ionic technology are also ideal for guests as they polish the cuticle, reduce frizz and create that salon professional shine.

“My favorite round brush is the Sam Villa Artist Series Spiral Thermal Brush because it has a mix of nylon and boar bristles. It also has a thermal core that retains heat, so it delivers maximum volume and shine all at the same time,” explains Valenzuela.  “And for even more convenience, I recommend using a blow dry hot brush because you can hold just 1 tool instead of both a brush and dryer, it’s also good for those who have difficulty raising their arms,” she adds.

Sam Villa is Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of the Sam Villa Company (Allvus, LLC), a leading education and styling tool company for the professional hair industry. He is also Global Artistic Ambassador for Redken 5th Avenue, a L’Oreal brand. Villa is the 2021 NAHA Educator of the Year, Hair Awards USA Hall of Fame Inductee, 2021 AHP Icon Stylist Influencer of the Year, 2020 International Hairdressing Awards ‘International Hair Influencer of the Year,’ the 2017 NAHA Lifetime Achievement Award Winner, Intercoiffure America/Canada Member, Behind the Chair Stylist Choice Award Winner for Favorite Platform Artist and Educator (2012, 2011 and 2007) and Favorite Overall Educator of the Year (2015). His inspiring education and innovative ergonomic styling tools can be experienced on samvilla.com. The Sam Villa brand brings free digital education to everyone including hot tips and techniques, as well as access to livestreamed educational events. The company also offers professional tools for consumers so they can achieve salon-quality results at home with minimum effort.

Six Skincare Mistakes That You Are Probably Making Right Now

Gifted are those that have clear and glossy skin in their genes. Unfortunately, the rest of us have to follow long skincare routines to get healthy skin. But following a skincare routine is not enough. You may question why you are still breaking out even after following a seven-step thorough skincare routine day and night. The answer is that you are probably not doing it correctly. 

Most of us are not even aware of these daily routine skincare mistakes we make. To fix a problem, you have to acknowledge it first. Worry not, below are the top six skincare rookie mistakes you are most likely to make.  

Top Six Skin Care Mistakes That Ruin Your Skin. 

  • Over Exfoliating.

Exfoliating your skin gets rid of excess sebum, dirt, dead skin cells and opens clogged pores. This keeps your skin fresh and glowy. But the rule of exfoliation is to do it two or three times a week. Over-exfoliating is extremely harmful to your skin as scrubs or chemically powered serums irritate your baby cells. Get this, your skin cells do not get to live their life cycle and you end up exfoliating healthy skin cells leaving your skin flaky, dry, irritated and reddened. 

  • Sleeping With Your Makeup On Or Not Removing Make Up Correctly. 

One of the most common mistakes we make is sleeping with our makeup on or not removing makeup correctly. These mistakes result in milia, rashes, and puffy and itchy skin. On the other hand, removing makeup with wipes is also a major mistake we make. The correct way to remove makeup is using a good cleansing water makeup remover. Our top favourite is the make-up remover from BioDerma that removes make-up and any dirt or pollution gathered on the face. 

  • Not Using Suitable Skincare Products.

We see influencers using and promoting certain skincare products and automatically assume that these products will fix your skin issues as well. We all have different skin types and each skin type requires different products. Get skincare products according to your skin type and the sensitivity of your skin. 

  • Using Comedogenic Products. 

Products that clog your pores are called comedogenic products. Using comedogenic products is especially harmful to people with oily or acne-prone skin. Some examples of comedogenic ingredients are coconut oil, cocoa butter, and lauric acid. No brand will market its products by displaying that the products are comedogenicc. What you can do is do your research, read the ingredients of the products you are buying, and avoid comedogenic products. 

  • Not Using Sunscreen. 

Skincare gurus have been telling everyone how important sunscreen is for you. Sun rays attack your skin cells and make your skin age faster. This means wrinkles, textured skin, pores, skin burns, etc. We recommend that you regularly use a  mineral-based sunscreen that is at least 30 SPF.

  • Not Sleeping Properly. 

Any Facials & Skin care expert is going to tell you this, above all else! You need to stay hydrated every day, but you also need plenty of sleep for good, healthy, glowing skin. Not sleeping enough has a direct impact on your skin’s health. When you sleep, the blood flow in your skin repairs UV rays damage and increases collagen synthesis. “Beauty sleep” is not a myth, your skin actually needs you to sleep properly to be healthy!

6 Tips to Look And Feel Your Best Lounging By the Pool

https://unsplash.com/photos/GA2sc8nIOsk

If you’ve been looking forward to lazing by the pool, sipping cocktails, and getting lost in a good book, your next adventure could be just around the corner. If you’re partial to the relaxation that can only come from a luxury vacation, you want to make sure you look your best, even if you’re not doing anything but lounging beside the gently disturbed water. If you feel like you haven’t got long before it’s time to treat yourself to a week (or more) of fun and doing everything but stress, here are six tips to look and feel your best.

Choose The Right Outfit

Feeling your best often comes down to what you’re wearing. Whether you’re chilling in or by the pool, you need to match the summer vibes to make sure everyone knows what you’re all about.

You can achieve these summer vibes with your swimsuit or in-between clothes, where you’re not quite ready to dive in, but still want to relax and soak up the sun. Depending on your other plans, you can put together something more versatile, but if you’re only concerned with basking in the sun with the option to take a dip whenever you feel a little warm, a swimsuit is ideal.

Remove Imperfections Before You Leave

You should want to get down by the pool as soon as you arrive. You don’t want to waste time plucking and trimming, because that eats into your much-needed relaxation. Getting imperfections, such as long toenails and messy eyebrows, fixed before you leave means you can stride onto the pool deck with all the confidence you need.

You can fix these imperfections yourself, but looking for professional laser hair removal and spa treatment could be a better choice. These services will turn imperfections into straight-up perfection, which makes you feel good no matter where you lounge.

Top Up Your Tan

Although many people will wait until they arrive at their destination to get a tan, the real ones know that a base tan is a must to help you look bronzed and glowing. However, there are different ways to approach your tan. If you want to tan quickly but safely, it’s worth knowing what to avoid and what to rely on.

You don’t want your vacation ruined by being too keen to tan that you end up pink as a flamingo and peeling. Knowing your limits for being in the sun (and wearing sunscreen at all times) will keep you looking your best and still give you the healthy tanned glow you need.

Get Toned

Many people hope to achieve the perfect bikini body before their jet off somewhere warm and exotic, but trying to achieve this in a few weeks or months is not so easy. You don’t need to spend all your time at the gym and cut out everything delicious from your diet, but it’s still worth trying to tone up.

Quick body weight exercises like pushups and sit-ups can build a good foundation to help you look more toned. If nothing else, it helps you establish good fitness habits that you can continue once you return.

Stay Hydrated

If you’re someone who loves to enjoy a cocktail (or several) while relaxing by the pool, you should also make sure that you intersperse these treats with plenty of water throughout the day. This isn’t just to mitigate the power of the hangover, but also to prevent dehydration, which can lead to sunstroke and other issues.

Furthermore, keeping yourself hydrated will prevent early signs of aging that could affect your vacation look in the future. Too much alcohol and not enough sleep lead to wrinkles and baggy eyes, so hydration is a must wherever you go.

Smile

Finally, the best way to look and feel good while you’re on vacation is to smile. You’re supposed to be having fun, and no one wants to hang out with some sour Skittle who looks as approachable as a starving lion.

A smile goes a long way wherever you are. It makes you look friendly; it attracts people to you and makes you seem like someone worth getting to know. What’s more, the sun and relaxed vibes should make anyone smile, so don’t be a grump and show off those teeth.

Chilled

You shouldn’t feel obligated to do anything on your vacation if you don’t want to. After all, you work hard for most of the year, so now’s your chance to do something different. If you want to look and feel your best, these tips will make that possible, and you can make this the most successful and relaxing vacation of your life.

Why You Should Consider Getting Botox Injections In 2022

Botox injections are a highly popular cosmetic procedure. They offer a range of fantastic benefits – and can help you rediscover confidence in your appearance. If you are unsure whether Botox injections are right for you, keep reading this guide. Below – are four reasons why you should consider getting this procedure and the benefits it has for your skin.

Reverses The Signs Of Ageing

Undoubtedly, one of the greatest benefits of Botox injections is their ability to reverse the signs of ageing. As we grow older, our skin starts to lose its firmness. This is because collagen production slows down. Botox injections aim to smooth out any wrinkles and fine lines in your skin – to help restore a youthful-looking appearance. If you are currently struggling to fight the signs of ageing, take a look at some anti-ageing tips online to help you. There are plenty of steps that you can incorporate into your life – to help you regain confidence in your appearance. 

It Is A Safe Procedure If Carried Out By The Right Professionals

The thought of going ahead with a cosmetic procedure can be quite daunting, which is understandable. After all, your appearance is likely to change. You may worry about what can happen if it goes wrong. The good news is Botox injections are a safe procedure if they are carried out by the right professionals. City Skin Clinic are a team of highly experienced and medically qualified aesthetic partitioners who specialise in Botox injections and other cosmetic treatments. You can find out, just from their website alone, that their team are highly experienced. Never be afraid to ask your practitioner about their qualifications to ensure you are in the right hands. 

Very Little Downtime Required

Some people might get put off cosmetic procedures – due to the downtime required. Most people live busy lives and have strict work commitments. So, taking time off for a cosmetic procedure is not feasible. Luckily, with Botox injections, there is very little downtime. In fact, you can return to work pretty much straight away. Follow the aftercare advice from your chosen clinic, and you should expect to see the full effects around two weeks after the procedure. If you are experiencing mild discomfort, you can apply a cool compress to the treatment area. You can learn how to make a DIY cool compress by referring to an online tutorial. 

Results Are Not Permanent 

Deciding to go ahead with a cosmetic procedure is not a decision that should be taken lightly. After all, the treatment will likely alter your appearance, even if that is only slightly. You must be prepared to undergo a minor change at least. For some, that can be a daunting thought. This is why Botox injections can be a happy in-between. You can enjoy the effects of the treatment, but they are temporary. So, you don’t have to commit to a permanent change in your appearance. If you go through with the procedure – and decide the results are not what you wanted, you can wait for them to wear off.

Beautiful Ways to Honor Deceased Loved Ones on Your Wedding Day

All couples want their nearest and dearest by their side when celebrating their wedding day. Unfortunately, life is fragile, and this may not always be possible. If you’ve had your big day set in stone for a number of years, there is a chance you may lose a loved one along the way.

While your wedding should be full of celebration and joy, the loss of a close friend or family member can mean feelings of sadness play a role in your big day too. There is no reason why you cannot highlight the part they have played in shaping the person you have become, especially on your wedding day. With that in mind, here are some special ways you can honor a deceased loved one on your wedding day.

Establish How Much Attention to Bring to the Loss

Firstly, the fact that a loved one isn’t present at your wedding may affect you, or some of your family members deeply. Although, there is a delicate balance between remembering the purpose of your special day and allowing your nearest and dearest to celebrate the joy of your marriage. Remember, this is a wedding after all – not a wake!

 If your loved one has passed recently, you may decide to separate the two by organizing a celebration of life. This can take place separately from your wedding. If you decide on this option, Greenvelope have great celebration of life invitations you can choose from. Their invitations will set the scene for proceedings, and you can look into wedding invites too.

Wear Something That Reminds You of Them

When your wedding day looms, the number one factor of all is what you’re going to wear. Deciding on the perfect dress will take time and patience. However, if you’ve recently lost a loved one, wearing something that reminds you of them can be a great way for them to feel present on your special day.

You can work with a seamstress to sew in a ‘memory’. This can be facing outwardly so guests can see it. Alternatively, you may want to have it hidden so only you and your partner know it’s there. If you’re wearing a veil, why not consider sewing in your loved one’s name? This can be displayed in a frame once your big day ends and serve as a long-lasting nod to the fact that they in a sense, walked you down the aisle. 

Mention Them During the Wedding

Throughout your wedding day, you can mention your loved one to keep them firmly in everyone’s memory. For example, if you have an order of service, you can attach a tag with a dedication, or simply print a mention of those who you miss. This is a simple and effective way of acknowledging important people who are not present at the wedding.

During the ceremony, a simple poem or reading from a favorite book, or a piece of music that they cherished is another meaningful gesture to mark your loved one’s presence. Thanks to technology, you may even have voice recordings of your loved one that you can play during the ceremony. 

Light a Candle

Lighting a candle in memory of a deceased loved one is a spiritual, reflective act that can simply involve you and your partner, or other close family members to signal the opening and closing of your wedding ceremony. You can also light a candle as you get ready or in the days leading up to your wedding day.

Another popular way of honoring those who are not with us is by creating a candle table. This is normally set with a photo and message of remembrance that symbolizes their presence. Your wedding guests can engage with it as they feel comfortable. 

Incorporate Flower Arrangements

Flowers are a huge part of any wedding. Whether you take a minimalistic approach and stick to a bouquet or two or go extravagant and have every kind of flower under the sun on your big day, you can create a meaningful flower arrangement that can be a physical presence of anyone you have lost and unable to be at your special day.

Some couples decide on one bloom for each person who they wish were present to share their day. The great thing about flower arrangements is they can be as private or public as you like. You may decide on flowers that spell out your loved one’s name. The choice is entirely up to you.

If a loved one has sadly passed before you had the chance to walk down the alter, that doesn’t mean they can’t be at your special day in spirit. There are lots of beautiful tributes you can play throughout your wedding which will not only honor their passing and how much they mean to you but show to others the impact they had on your life.

7 Celebrity-Inspired Goals to Help You Achieve Your Dreams

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? This is a question that many people ask themselves, and the answer usually lies within their dreams. Achieving your dreams may seem impossible, but with the right mindset and goals, anything is possible. In this blog post, we will discuss seven celebrity-inspired goals that will help you achieve your dreams. These goals are attainable and inspirational, and they will help get you one step closer to reaching your ultimate goal!

https://unsplash.com/photos/rWZc6-vK1ec

Be Fearless

One of the most common things that holds people back from achieving their dreams is fear. Fear of failure, fear of the unknown, and fear of not being good enough are all roadblocks on the path to success. If you want to achieve your dreams, you have to be willing to take risks and face your fears head-on. Be fearless in the pursuit of your goals, and don’t let anything stand in your way! Oprah Winfrey is a prime example of someone who has overcome her fears to achieve great things. Oprah was born into poverty and faced many challenges throughout her life, but she never gave up on her dreams. She is now one of the most successful women in the world, and she is an inspiration to millions of people. If Oprah can do it, you can too!

Believe in Yourself

In order to achieve your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of doing it. Too often, people give up on their dreams because they don’t think they can do it. They doubt themselves and their abilities, and they let their negative thoughts hold them back. If you want to achieve your dreams, you have to believe in yourself and your ability to make them happen. One person who knows the power of believing in oneself is J.K. Rowling. Before she became a world-famous author, Rowling was living in poverty and struggling to make ends meet. She was told by multiple publishers that her Harry Potter books would never be successful, but she didn’t let that stop her from believing in herself. We all know how that story ended! If Rowling can achieve her dreams against all odds, you can too.

Set Your Priorities

When you’re chasing your dreams, it’s important to set your priorities. There will be times when you have to make sacrifices in order to achieve your goals. You may have to give up your social life, or you may have to work long hours. Whatever the case may be, setting your priorities will help you stay focused on what’s important – achieving your dreams. One person who knows the importance of setting priorities is Bill Gates. When he was starting Microsoft, Gates knew that he had to put all of his focus into making it a success. So he dropped out of college and devoted himself entirely to his new company. His hard work paid off, and Microsoft is now one of the most successful companies in the world. If Gates can set his priorities and achieve his dreams, you can too!

Stay Humble

When you’re chasing your dreams, it’s important to stay humble. Just because you’re striving for something great doesn’t mean you should start acting like you’ve already achieved it. Stay humble and grounded throughout your journey, and never forget where you came from. One person who knows the importance of staying humble is LeBron James. James is one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but he has never let his success go to his head. Instead, he remains humble and thankful for everything he has accomplished, and he uses his platform to help others. If James can stay humble despite his incredible success, you can too!

Be Persistent

If you want to achieve your dreams, you have to be persistent. There will be times when you feel like giving up, but you have to keep going. Remember why you’re chasing your dreams in the first place, and don’t let anything stand in your way. One person who knows the importance of being persistent is Thomas Edison. Edison is one of the most famous inventors in history, but he didn’t achieve success overnight. He faced many failures throughout his career, but he never gave up on his dreams. If Edison can be persistent in the pursuit of his goals, you can too!

Don’t Compare Yourself to Others

When you’re chasing your dreams, it’s important to remember that everyone is on their own journey. You shouldn’t compare yourself to others and try to keep up with them. Everyone moves at their own pace, and you will get to where you want to be in your own time. One person who knows the importance of not comparing oneself to others is Serena Williams. Williams is one of the greatest tennis players of all time, but she didn’t start playing until she was nine years old. She was always behind her peers, but she never let that stop her from chasing her dreams. If Williams can achieve success despite being a late starter, you can too!

Body like a Celebrity

When you’re chasing your dreams, it is essential to have a body like a celebrity. A toned and fit physique will not only help you look great but feel great as well. It will give you the energy and confidence you need to achieve your goals. One person who knows the importance of having a celebrity body is Kim Kardashian. Kardashian is one of the most famous celebrities in the world, and she is known for her incredible body. She has worked hard to maintain her physique, and it has paid off. If you aspire to obtain the same thick body goals as Kim Kardashian, you can too with the right diet and workout routine!

Now that you know some of the celebrity-inspired goals you should strive for, it’s time to start working towards them. Remember, if these celebrities can achieve their dreams, you can too! So what are you waiting for? Start chasing your dreams today!
