Been there done that.

  Yes, the ombre look is more popular this year than last but you've been there and done that.  Up for something new?  Try being a Marilyn Monroe blonde, a blonde from roots to ends!  It's the right amount of fun and such a beautiful and classic look.  Not only is the color in, the over all look is.  Try taking some inches off your length, lighting your color, and throw on some red lipstick to add to the over all look.   If you have dark hair naturally and being platnuim is out of the question, go for the cut.  There is no need to have your hair above your shoulders, but lose some length and break out your curling irons and rollers to get the Marilyn look.   My only warning to this look before you go and start a new hair adventure is make sure you tailor it to your face shape and skin tone.  If you need some help on picking the right length hair or the right shade blonde check out this site

Here are some actresses that are bringing back this classic look, and some with a twist. Enjoy!

The Flakey Truth

A friend asked me a question today about having a flakey scalp.  How to get rid of it with a drug store remedy.  I am a professional hairstylist and I dont usually recommend drug store products but I do tell the truth.  I have had this problem; all of a sudden I notice I have white flakes in my hair.  What did I use to fix this problem?  Head and Shoulders.  I was using it for about two weeks when I noticed that I did not have anymore white flakes.  I continued to use it for about four weeks after that to insure that my dry scalp did not return.  Please remember that having flakes in your hair(dry scalp) and dandruff are two different things.  I found a  great article that will help you to identify which you may have, to check it out please go to http://voices.yahoo.com/dandruff-vs-dry-scalp-recognize-heal-both-1778597.html 
Head and shoulders can't cure everything but I recommend it for seasonal dry scalp.  Its worth a shot.

Roots need a lift?

Have long heavy hair? Roots boosters still not doing the trick?  Try Unite's Expanda Dust.  You can tap in this translucent powder and do a little squeeze for a dusting.  I love this product.  It works really well for those who have long and/or heavy hair that just can't get a lift.  Since the powder is translucent it will work for any hair color even dark hair without leaving a grey looking residue.  Unlike other volumizers you will apply this product dry after you have styled you hair and volume can be increased throughout the day with a little boost from your fingers.  Use your finger tips and lightly rub the area where you have applied Expanda Dust, this will help you revive and lift up tired roots. This product does have a light hold which works out great for keeping long lasting volume, but will not leave hair feeling hard and inflexable. This product has helped my long heavy hair reach new heights.

Wedding hair

  So you big day is near and you are going back and forth on hair designs.  Should you do half up and half down, all up, all down, or to the side?  It's exhausting... Just remember you will be wearing you dress all night, you are in heels, so the last thing you need is a hair style that is stiff and heavy to carry around.  Natural is in take Kate Middleton for examplea,  she wears her  hair down most of the time so on her wedding day she wore it down some curls.  You can also spice up your look with nice pins or a facinator.   If you where it up a lot do something simple and lose.  The most important thing is to be comfortable and not comform to what other people think a bride should look like.  Good Luck on the big day =)

trying to grow out your hair?

For everyone trying to grow out your hair here are a couple things you can do to help the process.
As crazy as it may sound get your ends trimmed every 8-9 weeks.  If you let the ends go for to long they will split and that can cause breakage pretty high up on the hair.  Whats the point in having long flowing locks if they look dry and crunchy?  Next, deep condition once a week.  Keeping your hair moisturized will allow you to grow out long healthy hair, as well as repairing any damage that has been done from hot tools, coloring, and the elements.  Last but not least DO NOT over process your hair. Make sure you are not stretching the limits of your hair to far.  To make sure you aren't doing to much coloring and lightening seek the help of a professional.  These easy steps will help you grow your hair out to your hearts desire.
