Get the Oscar look of Gwyneth Paltrow

GWYNETH PALTROW: GET THE LOOK WITH JOHN FRIEDA HAIR CARE

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow

THE LOOK: Elegant, polished and refined

INSPIRATION: Inspired by Penelope Tree’s pre-fringe look, celebrity hairstylist Blake Erik gave Gwyneth Paltrow a simple, chic, and beautifully sleek look.

Here is his step-by-step breakdown:
•To begin, Blake washed the hair with John Frieda Frizz Ease Beyond Smooth Frizz Immunity Shampoo and Conditioner.
•Next, he prepped the hair by applying John Frieda Frizz Ease Beyond Smooth Frizz Immunity Primer.
•Then, Blake blowdried her hair straight using a round brush.
•For added sleekness, he flat-ironed hair from the chin down, keeping the lift at the roots from her blowout.
•Next, he created a deep side part and sectioned off the front side of the hair on both sides. The remaining back side of the hair was parted at ear level and pinned up.
•Blake then brushed the front sections back and under the pinned hair. He tied both sections together using a clear elastic band and let the remaining hair fall over the secured sections.
•For a touchable finish, he spritzed John Frieda Frizz Ease Keraflex Flexible Hold Hairspray all over her hair.

Video coming soon.

Dental disease in pets can lead to life-threatening conditions if left untreated. When severe, it can lead to bacterial infections. We have also seen a correlation between dental disease and chronic diseases of the heart, kidneys and liver, and even organ failure.

Dental disease is the most common disease affecting pets: According to Banfield Pet Hospital’s State of Pet Health Report, more than 90 percent of dogs over the age of 3 suffer from dental disease.

Symptoms of dental disease may be hard to notice, so it’s important for pet parents to become familiar with the signs to avoid major health problems.

Early Symptoms of Dental Disease Include:
• Bad breath
• Yellow, brown, loose or missing teeth
• Red or swollen gums
• Discoloration or tartar on the teeth
• Difficulty chewing or decreased appetite

In this video Veterinarian Dr. Andrea Sanchez discusses the problem of dog dental disease and what pet owners can do to help prevent it. She outline’s what to include in a dental care program, including demonstrating the “Flip, Check, Treat” regimen to protect against dental disease, and a daily home treatment that will help maintain healthier teeth and gums for your precious pooch.
