Enhance Your Hair With HAIRMAX

If you are a product junkie like me then you find it extra hard to find a shampoo that can fight through all the build up and excess oils in your hair. I have tried many different shampoos, some have succeeded, but nothing like HAIRMAX Density Shampoo. HAIRMAX Density Shampoo is low pH which will help strengthen the scalps natural barrier and gives gentle exfoliation to the hair and is sulfate free. In one use you will not only feel a difference but notice a difference in how your hair look, feels and will even notice an enhanced color. I also have an extremely oily scalp and the HAIRMAX Density Shampoo helps to balance out the nasty over excess oils.

With 4 great products to choose from, HAIRMAX has been proven to cleanse, revitalize and fortify for thicker, denser looking hair. Lately I have been noticing (due to stress) that the hair around my temples has been thinning just a little. After using the HAIRMAX Density Shampoo it is slowly but surely creeping its way back in. I call this biotin without the pill (LOL). A HairMax independent study has demonstrated that there has been a 93.5% increase in hair counts and 78.9% increase in tensile strength.

Beauty Tips and Tricks-Studio 10

See as I share these great Beauty Tips and Tricks on Studio 10!

On Studio 10

Watch the segment here: http://www.wtsp.com/videos/entertainment/television/studio10/2014/08/18/14242461/

Proper way to comb wet hair (straight or curly) ( I will bring my mannequin head I used in beauty school to demonstrate)- After shampooing and conditioning you want to make sure the hair is damp. Next take a wide toothed comb and section your hair horizontally starting from the bottom up. This will keep your hair from being pulled out and will make it a lot less painful.

Instead of microfiber towels use this- Now we have plenty of these around the house am I right? I am talking about t-shirts. Did you know that using microfiber towels can actually cause hair breakage and hair loss. SO next time you get out of the shower have a cotton fiber t-shirt sitting next to you and use that to wrap your hair.

Best way to shampoo and condition hair (especially if it is color treated)- When shampooing your hair don’t use more than a nickel size amount and only focus on your scalp. Do not ball your hair at the top of your head. Use your fingertips to massage your scalp and work into a lather. rinse hair and let shampoo run down the ends of your hair. Make sure you use a shampoo with low pH balance such as the ones found in your salon. Next to condition only use a nickel size and this time focus on the ends of your hair. RInse with cool water to help lock in moisture and also to help lock in color. If your hair is color treated especially redheads wash hair 2-3 times a week.

At home remedy for red heads- Aside from using shampoo and conditioner that is made specifically for color treated hair, a great at home remedy to help maintain redheads is rinsing your hair with cranberry juice. YES cranberry juice. We have all heard from our parents be careful cranberry juice stains. Its the same idea for your hair. After shampooing and conditioning your hair take a bottle of cranberry juice turn your head upside down in the shower and pour the cranberry juice on your hair and allow the water to run clear before flipping your head back over (tip: do this BEFORE you shave your legs)

Your Hair Will Love The “VERB”

Your hair is your crowning glory and the more you take care of it the better it looks. Is it dry? Or does the color tend to fade too quickly? The answer to your problems is VERB Hair Products.

The number one problem to your hair care problems is improper hair products. When purchasing a product you MUST find a product that is for your hair type. But sometimes that can be hard. VERB products are made for all hair types and will not fade out hair color, It will help to hydrate even the driest hair and will not weigh down fine hair. When you get out of the shower your hair should feel clean and soft, and not greasy. Usually if your hair feels greasy right after you shampoo it then you are not using a product that is made for your hair type.

VERB Hair Products

VERB Hair Products

Unlike products such as Big Sexy Hair and CHI that have competition from retailers such as TJ Maxx and Kohls, you will not find VERB anywhere but in your local salon. VERB products come in an eye catching package that not only shows just what each product is, but will also tell you just what they do. Also, you don’t have to spend time trying to look for a specific shampoo or conditioner for your specific hair type. VERB is just one line and can be used on all type. If you hair is fine, coarse or even curly, VERB will work for you. VERB Product line comes with shampoo, conditioner, leave-in mist, volumnizing spray, sea spray to give off nice beach waves, dry wax, finishing polish, ghost oil serum and dry shampoo.

Each product is specifically designed to help enhance the texture, look and all over health of your hair.

Frizz seems to be the ultimate demon when it comes to our hair. Especially now that it is the summer months and we will be out and about enjoying it, we may go from perfect hair to “I jumped back into the 70s” afro! With the Zero Frizz Keratin Corrective Hair Serum, curly hair can now be tamed.

Since the mid-90s Zero Frizz has offered high quality performance when it comes to taming frizz. The Zero Frizz Keratin Corrective Hair Serum is made specifically for thick, coarse, dry hair to add moisture, and shine. It is great for color treated hair to help lock in color and make it last longer. It is enriched with Keratin, and also has UV protection to keep hair extra strong. Zero Frizz Keratin Corrective Hair Serum is best when applied to wet hair and then styled as usual.  This is a great product to use when you just can’t think of anything else. It smells great, and get this you only have to use it on a daily bases but sparingly.

I would not suggest this product if your hair is straight, and fine because then it will cause your hair to be weighed down and look greasy.

Loved Doing the Makeup & Hair for the Cynthia Rose 2014 Spring Line

Cynthia Rose Collection

Here I am creating a hair and make up look on set at the Cynthia Rose 2014 Spring Line shoot “Fountain Bleu!”

Temptu publication jpeg 2

I worked with an amazing and talented crew. Exquisite Fashion Designer Cynthia Rose, International High Fashion Photographer Jonathan Bookallil and the beautiful and gracious model Dominyka Gajauskaite.

From Paris flea markets to couture houses around the world, Cynthia rose continues her passionate search for the most exquisite vintage fabrics and decadent trims defining her “elegance with an edge” philosophy.

The art of collage is the true inspiration behind the Cynthia rose collection of luxurious ready-to-wear and accessories.

The inspiration for the Spring 2014 collection entitled “FOUNTAINBLEU” evokes Palm Beach with a hint of the 20’s. The hand painted “Monet” inspired watercolor rose print is evident in the streamlined dresses and blouses and the intricately beaded bodices. The colors of goldenrod, aquamarine and blushed coral highlight the tweeds, suedes, laces, silks and cashmeres. Cynthia’s “signature sweaters” are breathtaking and essential for the Spring season.

Her signature limited edition works of art are collected by those who are true individuals.

Miracles Do Happen

TENAJ_Style_miracle_leave_in_potion

I never thought miracles could be captured in a bottle until a few months ago. Before proTENAJ styleINFLECTION Miracle Leave-In Potion, I had given up on trying to control this crazy lion’s mane I call hair. It was unmanageable, dull, crunchy and lacked any shine. I hated my hair. When I started using the proTENAJ styleINFLECTION Miracle Leave-In Potion, I gained a love for my hair again!

Carolina now

This wonderful product is lightweight and leaves your hair smoothed, conditioned and frizz free. Not only is the proTENAJ styleINFLECTION Miracle Leave-In Potion great to define your curls, but is great for all girls and guys hair types too!!! (Yes, guys have frizz too!!!). Since this product will not weigh your hair down, hair that is fine or straight will not feel like you put glue in your hair. Just run a few drops through your hair when it is wet, blow dry or let air dry and see for yourself the difference in just ONE use.

proTENAJ was created here in the sunshine state and has changed the way many people look at their hair. Even our very own beauty and lifestyle expert Enya Flack agrees. Being a professional actress, Enya is always on and off the camera, so great hair is a must for her. She tried the proTENAJ styleINFLECTION Miracle Leave-In Potion before its debut on the “ Carolina Now Morning Show” and said she loves this product.

2659189_G

Sold only in your salon, proTENAJ styleINFLECTION Miracle Leave-In Potion is made with certified organic ingredients holding true to their commitment to the environment. Even if you have sensitive skin, proTENAJ products will not break out your skin or make you start itching. When I was on the “big white couch” at the TENAJ Beauty Group , I told Erica that with my sensitive skin I have been afraid to use many products because of my sensitivity towards them. With proTENAJ products I have no worries and now have red carpet worthy hair.

Wella Professionals Transform Anne Hathaway for the 2013 Met Ball

Anne Hathaway goes Platinum Blonde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RED CARPET HAIR BY SASCHA BREUER USING WELLA PROFESSIONALS

 

Hair Look:

Celebrity Stylist Sascha Breuergave Anne Hathaway a strong punk yet glam hair look for the 2013 MET Ball that was held in New York City tonight. 

 

“Drawing inspiration from unforgettable punk icons like Poly Styrene from X-ray Spex and Joan Jett, I decided to go for a look that’s glam, edgy and yet very youthful and fun. We kept the style much shorter for Anne and had a lot of fun playing around with it. To enhance her punk look further we decided to take her hair to the next level: A new cool Platinum blonde color and the sharp slightly boyish finish with loads of texture were the perfect match,” says Sascha Breuer.

 

Step-By-Step Styling

1.       Start by applying a golf ball sized amount of Wella Professionals Extra Volume Mousse to damp hair for the perfect foundation and to provide hold and volume.

2.       Blow dry the hair into shape using your fingers or a skeleton brush. Dry the longer hair on top back and upwards by gently pulling the hair away from the scalp to boost the volume and some lift to it. 

3.      Push brush and dry the sides flat to the head backwards allowing them to set narrow to the head.

4.       Once the hair is completely dry use a small amount of Wella Professionals Bold Move styling paste. Spread the paste evenly between the palm of your hands and work the product through the mid length and ends to create a deep, slightly messy texture.

5.       Mist hair with Wella Professionals Stay Firm Finishing Spray to ensure that your style will last all night.
