Your Hair’s Forbidden Love- proTENAJ

TENAJ_Style_dry_shine_spray

I have never been one to walk out of the house without having my hair done and when it comes to my hair, hairspray is a MUST!!!! Only bad thing about me is I tend to overload to block out humidity and to add shine. Only overloading does not block out humidity and sure doesn’t add shine. Instead it makes my hair crunchy and feel like glue.

When I first used proTENAJ styleINFLECTION Dry Shine Spray, I threw away all my other hairspray cans (yes, even the full ones). styleINFLECTION Dry Shine Spray is a soft hold, humidity resistant hairspray that leaves added shine and touchable control to even the most unmanageable hair (like mine). I love to use proTENAJ styleINFLECTION Dry Shine Spray right before blow drying to seal in shine and to separate my curls giving them a soft, loose look. I also use it right before I walk outside to shield this Florida humidity. Not only do I love the soft texture to my hair and the shine, I also love the way styleINFLECTION Dry Shine Spray makes my hair smell. Sometimes I will spray the Dry Shine just to smell it. I know I’m crazy!!!! 

One of the greatest features about proTENAJ styleINFLECTION Dry Shine Spray is that it is made with all certified organic ingredients. My sensitive skin is very thankful for that. It is designed with Village Berry Complex which is a blend of berries and fruits from villages all over the world. The fruit extracts add strength and moisture to your hair and keeps your hair free of everyday damage. You will NEVER find them anywhere but in your salon. It is hard to express just how much I love this product line in words. Be sure to visit the TENAJ Beauty Group’s YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/TENAJBeautyTBG for weekly interviews and how-to hairstyles and visit their website at www.tenajbeautygroup.com for more info and products. Your hair will thank you for it!!!

“Once Upon a Time Look” – How to do Meghan Ory’s Hair

tumblr_mivqoomkEu1qhaemso1_1280

See how Richard Kohlen, stylist to Meghan Ory, does her “Once Upon A Time” Luscious Locks:

1. To start I give a healthy spray of White Sands Liquid Texture Thermal Styling Spray, then section her hair into one inch strips.

2. With a one inch curling iron, I do alternating spiral curls. Alternating gives the fullness I’m looking for and the most natural look.

3. Once I am done with one row, I give a light spraying of White Sands Infinity Hairspray to set the curl for a long lasting hold.

4. After all the rows are done, I add in preset extension pieces made and colored to match Meghan’s own natural hair. For this “Red Riding hood” look, I used 24” extensions, for that extra long look!

5. Once all the curling and extensions are in, I added an inverted braid that is once again preset, from ear to ear which gives us that period look.

6. After everything is done I use the White Sand Orchids Oil to smooth out all the little frizzes! And voila! “Red Riding Hood” extra sexy look.

Premiere Orlando Recap: TENAJ Beauty Group

DSC03823 (374x640)

As big as the Premiere Orlando Beauty & Hair Show is you never know what to expect when you round the corner.  Coming from an appointment,I had the biggest surprise of the weekend.  I ran into an old beauty school classmate of mine and he told me that the TENAJ Beauty Group was there showcasing their new line of products called proTENAJ.

If you are wondering what it is about TENAJ Beauty Group that came as a super surprise to me,  it is the sister company, Shear Express Inc., that owns the beauty school I graduated from; “The Salon Professional Academy”  in The Villages, located in Central  Florida. Many of my former educators,  classmates and other stylists from their three sister  salons  were there demonstrating the proTENAJ products while doing a PINLESS UPSTYLE!!!! Yes a pin less upstyle using nothing but a craft wire and their own creativeness.
TENAJ Beauty Group
I got to meet a lot of new people and see some that I have not seen since beauty school.   Everyone asked me all about what I have been doing since graduating beauty school and how I got into blogging for & becoming a Brand Ambassador for ”It’s a Glam Thing”. It was definitely an awesome beauty school reunion for me.I loved seeing everyone and getting reacquainted with them. I also enjoyed trying out the new proTENAJ products (posts coming soon).  I have more for you on TENAJ Beauty Group. Stay Tuned and be sure to check out their website for more info at www.tenajbeautygroup.com

Beauty in Seaweed

If it’s good enough to put in your body, it’s good enough to put on your skin. That is what I have always said and believed. With Repechage Beauty from the Sea skin care, you can experience an all-natural skin routine made with seaweed with results you will not believe.   CEO and Founder of Repechage Lydia Sarfati has created the first line of seaweed- based skincare released in the U.S. She is the developer of the 4 layer facial and opened the first day spa in 1977 in Manhattan.

While at Premiere Orlando, in the midst of my hectic schedule, I got to stop and experience a relaxing facial from Repechage Skin Care.  While there I learned all about how their seaweed is found by professional divers in the oceans of France and brought back to Repechage headquarters in New Jersey.  After my facial was over (I didn’t want it to end) I also got to experience their line of mineral makeup and bring home samples of their new line of hair care as well. 

Everything I tried from Repechage I LOVE. With me having extremely sensitive skin, there are only a few lines of cosmetics, and hair care that I can use. Repechage is one I can. 

When I got home I gave myself a head to toe treatment with the Hair Spa Seaweed Mask, Hair Spa Serum,  Hydra Medic  7 Step skin care and topped it all off with Perfect Skin Liquid Foundation.  It was my own home spa day from the sea J

Every product is formulated with select seaweed plants.  Little did I know there are various kinds of seaweed and each product as its own special blend.  The only kind of seaweed I thought there was is the kind on sushi lol.

Next time you are looking for a relaxing spa day, a clean and natural way to cleanse your face, or give yourself an at home hair treatment, go for Repechage Beauty from the Sea products. To see where you too can find a Repechage salon, and get your own at home treatments visit www.repechage.com

The Sea Awaits!!!!

Love Your Lashes with Mink

  

Eyelashes are BACK!!!!!  Since their first appearance in 1916, false eyelashes have come a long way.  While at Premiere Orlando, I got to try out the newest trend in false eyelashes.  Lash Love’s 100% Siberian Mink Fur Eyelashes come in an assortment of styles to match everyone’s personality. Co-Founders, April and Kristyl Nelson, create their lashes with love and care. Lash Love’s mink fur eyelashes are only made with fur collected during the mink’s shedding season. 

Until I met Lash Love I had only worn false eyelashes one other time.  I was a little nervous about how they would look on me.  When Kristyl slipped me into a pair, I had no idea I was even wearing them.  They were very light weight, soft and natural looking.  I felt like a movie star (also it could have been the crystals on them as well 🙂 lol).  

With Lash Love eyelashes you can skip a big part of your daily makeup routine.  When in a hurry (like most women today) you can put on a pair of your Mink Lashes and not even have to worry about eyeliner, mascara or eye shadow.  They really open your eyes and give the illusion that you had spent hours getting ready. 

So next time you are in search of false eyelashes, I strongly suggest Lash Love.  You too can pick up a pair of Mink fur lashes at www.shoplashlove.com Beauty is in the eyes.

Be Devious with White Sands Hair Care

How to Make Curls Last 15 Hours: Hair Secrets from Lifetime’s Devious Maids

“The 15 Hour Products” department head hairstylist Richard Boggs uses for the cast’s sexy tousled waves

  Created by Desperate Housewives’ mastermind Marc Cherry with executive producer Eva Longoria, Lifetime’s new TV series Devious Maids stars Susan Lucci, Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramirez, Roselyn Sánchez, Edy Ganem, and Judy Reyes. With the show featuring a simply beautiful cast with gorgeous tresses to match, department head hairstylist Richard Boggs shares his secrets for how he makes the cast’s sexy tousled waves last for hours on end with his special mix of White Sands Hair Care to create “The 15 Hour Products”.

DM

“We are so excited for the debut of Devious Maids! The show has a large cast, 15 actors. Sometimes, all working on the same day,” reveals hair department head stylist Richard Boggs.

“So, we love working with White Sands Hair Care Products because it’s reliable and there are no surprises. With as large of cast as Devious Maids, I work with two assistants, who assist me in creating and maintaining the looks of all our lovely actors which range from Susan Lucci to Anna Ortiz and Roselyn Sanchez. At any given point, you will see White Sands in our hands assisting in creating their desired looks.”

dm

“The 15 Hour Products” for a flawless waves after a 15 hour day of shooting:

White Sands is a staple back bar item as well. When an actor steps into the trailer for a 4am call time, we shampoo and condition with White Sands Vegan Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner to thoroughly cleanse, while infusing a vital moisture balance back into each strand.

This is followed up with a generous amount of White Sands Curl Up in Silk Mousse from the scalp to the ends of the hair shaft. This is a must for a 15 hour shooting day!

I always stress to my staff to start from the ground up and section off one-inch partings starting at the nape area, and spray the entire head with White Sands Liquid Texture Firm Hold Thermal Styling Spray. This thermal protectant is our secret to keep styles in place on set even after a long day of shooting. Plus, the hair has an amazing glass-like sheen!

With these one-inch sections prepped for hold and shine, use a large barrel curling iron, utilizing the Marcel styling technique from roots to end. www.whitesandsproducts.com
