Bangs/Fringes

I think one of the biggest trends right now is Bangs/Fringes and I think they are so hot with the right hairstyle. I want to hear more opinions though. SO do you all think Bangs are HOT or NOT?

Kelsey

Today I had the chance to do Kelsey's hair, she is one of my Mom's young women. For Kelsey's birthday My Mom and her friend gave Kelsey a gift certificate to come get her hair colored, cut, styled and some facial waxing. I really had a good time being able to get to know Kelsey and give her a new look that she will really enjoy. She is a very sweet girl and she loved her new look! SO below is her BEFORE... And here is her AFTER! First we added some blonde chunky highlights and then some low-lights to conteract the blonde and we finished by doing an all over medium warm brown. The cut looked so nice on her and it will be an easy maitenance style for her. I hope she likes it and I look forward to seeing her again.

Sunless Tanner

I am always on the look out for a good sunless tanner that doesnt leave me looking like a rotten orange. I found this one last week and I have really enjoyed it. It goes on dark brown and you can see results almost instantly. A good tip I have is when applying sunless tanners first put lotion on all your rough spots ie. heels, knees, elbows, feet, hands. Then when applying the tanner mix in a little bit of your favorite lotion and that helps it to not be too over powering, also wear throw away gloves when applying. (If you happen to get to much sunless tanner on you,you can use rubbing alchol to remove some of it.) I even put this on my face and it worked great. It is called Fake Bake Self-Tanning Lotion. Good Luck!

Make-up

If you are looking for some great make-up look no farther! Bare Minerals is a must have for every girl. I suffered from mild acne after I was pregnant and it was then that I discovered this make-up and let me tell you it has worked wonders for me. I like it because it is all natural with vitmans and minerals in it and it doesn't feel like you have make-up caked on your face. This line of make-up also last a very LONG time so you get your moneys worth for sure. They have everything from face wash to eye shadows. This make-up as made such a difference in my skin that I will never use anything different it is miracle make-up!

Refreshing Products

While my husband and I were on vacation in SLC we stayed in a Bed and Breakfast and I was thrilled when I saw that the tolietries that were left for us were all Aveda products. It was the Rosemary Mint Shampoo and Conditioner, the lotion and natural facial bar. Needless to say I was in Heaven! This products are great for a rejuevenating in the shower and the facial bar was great cause it didn't leave my skin dry it was actually very smooth and fresh feeling. This is my favorite product for a Lift Me Up kind of day! It is the Lemon Sage Body wash by Paul Mitchell. It smells so great and it has little ball capsules in it that lightly exfolilate your skin. Doesn't it sound so Yummy!

Here we have the Tea Tree Body Bar by Paul Mitchell. This Bar is great cause it has many uses. I don't use it all over my body I use it just to cleanse my face and it actually works great for small amounts of acne. My husband uses it for shaving and he loves it cause he usually gets razor burn and this has worked wonders. It smells minty and leaves your skill lightly exfoliated and fresh.

I have this soap in my bathrooms, it is the Tea Tree Hand Soap by Paul Mitchell. It is an antibacterial soap and it smells so clean and fresh. I put it in a different container in my bathroom and I have had so many people ask what is that soap in your bathroom it smells amazing.

All of these products are great when you are in need of some serious refreshing or as a daily use. I use all of these on a regular basis and they smell and work heavenly. I hope everyone can find soem space in there showers and bathrooms for these amazing products, I don't leave home without them!

Flat Iron

If you're looking for a great f;at iron within a reasonable price range this is the one for you! It is a ceramic flat iron by Paul Mitchell and it works great for all hair types. I personally have this flat iron and have had it for over a year and it is still working amazing. I recently purchased the new version of it and I have to say I didn't like it as much has I do this one. It is light-weight extremely easy to use, and heats up in 1 minute! If you are interested in more about this flat iron let me know. I can get it for retail for right arounf $100.00. It might sound like a lot but like I said I use mine almost everyday for the past year and a half or so and it still works like a champ. A good flat iron can make a world of a difference in a hairstyle!

Shampoo and Conditioner

One of the best all around Shampoo and Conditioner that anyone can use comes from the company Nioxin. I personally use this product for multiple reasons. One of the main reasons Nioxin is known for is to help with thinning hair. I love it for this and it helps keep my scalp healthy as well which promotes good hair growth and healthy hair as well. If you are looking for a system for dandruff this is the products you should be using it is amazing! It also has a great minty smell. These next products are the K Pak Shampoo and Conditioner by Joico. These work great for damaged hair that needs a little bit extra help and some added nutrients to give it shine and luster without weighing it down. I love this system and like to use it right after getting my hair colored when it needs a little extra care.

Once again if you have questions about these products please leave a comment and I would be glad to help in anyway I can. I can also help with purchasing if anybody needs help with that.

A few styling products I LOVE!

All of these products are my favorite products for getting the job done and making your hairstyle look sleek, shiny, and complete.

This first product is called Chi Silk Infusion. It's purpose is so add shine to the hair and protect while flat ironing. This is my absolute favorite serum for helping the hair by adding some vibrance to it. Here we have Thicken Up by Paul Mitchell. This too is a light serum with a strong hold. It helps give a thicker over all feel to your style and also adds volume and shine. I like this because it can be used in all types of hair and won't weigh it down.

One of my favorites for volume is this Volumizing Spray by Paul Mitchell. It is easy to apply you just part your hair and spray along the part. One thing that you have to be careful with is that this has a very STRONG hold and if you use to much it can be over bearing. But still one of my favs.

If your looking for a great root booster then here it is, it is the Extra Body Root Booster by Paul Mitchell. This is a great product but use sparingly cause it is also very strong.

Last but not least is Super Skinny by Paul Mitchell. This serum is great for helping with those frizzes that don 't smooth out and also it helps with cutting your drying time down to half when blow drying. This serum is the best for trying to get that silk smooth look and you don't have to use to much of it. Just rub it between your hands and work from the ends up and your on your way.

The reason I like all of these products is because they are very easy to use and they last a really long time. When I look for products one of my favorite things to do it look for a product in an average persons budget and then go from there. All of these products you have to use very little of them which helps with getting your money's worth. I hope some of this info has helped and if anyone would like to purchase please leave a comment and I can help you with that too.
