DO YOU WANT SMOOTH FRIZZ FREE SEXY HAIR! Keep on reading. One of the most popular items on the market right now is the Keratin Treatment.

This new revolutionary smoothing system that infuses Keratin deep into the hair cuticle eliminating up to ninety-five percent of frizz and thirty percent curl from the hair, leaving the hair soft, shiny and luxurious.

The Keratin Treatment will rejuvenate your hair giving it the soft, silky feel that everyone is raving about. Its known as the "skin care for your hair". Unlike other salon services, the more the keratin is infused in the hair. The healthier the hair becomes. With each treatment, the build-up of keratin makes the hair:

SOFTER AND SILKIER

SLIGHTLY STRAIGHTER AND SHINIER

FASTER AND EASIER TO BLOW-DRY

LESS MAINTENANCE- CLOSE TO BEING MAINTENANCE FREE

So now are you wondering what is the actual procedure. The procedure for the keratin treatment takes about two to three hours. The time all depends on the length and density of your hair.

1. The first step in your hair is washed with a clarifying shampoo to remove all the buildup.

2. The hair is blown dry is a soft bristly brush on low heat.

3. The hair is sectioned off four sections.

4. The keratin is applied on 1/8 parting starting at the nape

Hair Extensions

2009-01-20T12:29:00.000-08:00

In the world of fashion and in the beauty industry every where around us there are people with hair e xtensions. Many people use hair extensions for different reasons. In addition, some hair extensions are used for fullness, length, or even color dimension. Hair extensions can make a dramatic difference. Look at all the magizines. The majority of all the models have hair extentions.

There are many types of hair extensions, including different techniques. The most popular type of hair extensions are fusion hair extentions as well as sew-in hair extensions. However, clip in hair extensions have made life a little easier. With clip in extensions all that has to be done is clipped in and out whenever wanted.

Fusion hair extentions are bonded to the hair. The bondage part is similar to a glue. The fusion hair extentions with proper care can last about six months. Generally, its preferred that human hair is used with this type of extension. This will allow the person to style the hair however desired. Moreover, synethetic hair can be used with the fusion hair extensions. Doing so will not allow the person to use heat on the hair.

Sew-in hair extensions is a technique used when the least amout of hair breakage is desired. The first step in this procedure is to cornrow the hair leaving out hair around the hairline and on the top of the head. Once all the hair is braided the next step would be to sew in the hair. Generaly, its preferred that human hair is used with this type of extension. Again, this will allow the person to style the hair as desired. I would not recommend using synthetic hair because when heat is used on synthetic hair, the hair will burn. Honestly, hair extensions are a timely process so why bother with extra worry of a hair delema.

In addition the proper care for hair extentions is importmant as well. Usually there is a kit that can be bought to care for hair extentions. There are certain types of shampoos, conditioner, and hair brush that is used to care for the hair extentions.

In todays society every woman has the opportunity to look good and feel there best. Long, full hair is very attractive. Hair extensions can sometimes be easier to maintain than regular hair. Personaly I love hair extensions they have a way to make a woman feel sexier and confident.

Trendy hairstyles for career women!

2008-10-19T19:28:00.000-07:00

Have you ever visited a hair salon with a picture in hand for your stylist to create the style in that picture? If you looked exactly like the celebrity or supermodel in the picture we would end up with guaranteed results. I had to mention this because at times I am confronted with this situation as a hair stylist. It can be hard to create a style on a client or guest exactly like the picture in hand. However, I will get as close as I can to creating a look that fits the clients needs.

For career women it's extremely important to choose a trendy hairstyle which is age appropriate as well as one that is well suited for the density and hairtype.

Staying up to date with current hair trends is important for women whether they work in corporate america, private business or are stay-at-home moms. Hairstyles are an extension of a person's personality, therefore it's vital to choose a hairstyle that is not only current but one which expresses your personality and reflects current fashion trends. The first step in picking a suitable hairstyle is to determine whether your personality type is very social, conservative or active. You should also take in consideration personal features and facial shape.

For indivuals with round face shapes I suggest a hairstyle that lightly conceals the cheeks. A chin length bob will work for an indivual with a round face shape as well as a long layered hairstyle. The layers should not come above the cheeks. The hair slightly tapered on the side of the face will give the illusiion of smaller cheeks.

Conversly, if your face shape is square, I recommend a shorter layered hairstyle. If your hair is short it should have layers starting about an inch above your chin. This layering affect will soften the sqare jaw line. The same applies with long hair. The hair should be layered a little shorter. A person with a square face shape should also consider a layered bang tapered along the side of the face. This will balance the facial structure and offset the squareness of the face.

Individuals with oblong (oval face shape with longer chin) facial structures should consider an asymetrical bob. A bob slightly longer on one side than the other goes well for this facial type. The longer side hides the length of the chin giving the face balance. This facial shape should stay away from bangs.

Oval face shapes can have any hairstyle. This is the ideal face shape and any hairstyle works well with an oval faceshape. Any style from a pixie haircut to a blunt cut (same length all the way around) as well as bangs straight across the face work well with the oval face shapes.

Wedding Hair

2008-09-21T20:54:00.000-07:00

One of the most important days in a woman's lifetime is the day of her wedding. On your wedding day it's really important for the bride to have that perfect wedding, full of joy, and happiness.

The purpose of this blog is to give some helpful tips on selecting a stylist and makeup artist for your special day. To select your stylist and makeup artist, get referrals, and ask your friends that have previously been married for the name of the stylist and makeup artist they used. The first step is to set up a trial and consultation. In the trial you should bring a picture of some hairstyles and makeup applications that you might like. This will ensure the designers have a precise idea of what you would like done and you don't end up looking like cousin "it" from the Adams family. The stylist should style your hair the way you desire it. If you don't like the style then you will still have time to look for another stylist. The same applies for the makeup artist. The trial allows you to see what you will look like on your special day. Last, if you like the outcome of the trial consultation then book your appointment in advance. Booking your appointment in advance is really important because then you have a secure spot. However, leaving everything to the last minute will not guarantee good results. Your wedding day should refelect beautiful pictures and joyful memories and this can only be achieved by planning in advance. I hope these tips are helpful.

I have done many wedding parties and I have also seen many situations that could have been prevented with better planning.

The pictures above are examples of a wedding "Updos." First, I pulled part of the hair back in a ponytail. The sides and top of the hair were not pulled back with the ponytail. After I secured the ponytail I pinned the sides loosely. This step is important because it gives the updo a loose appearance. The hair from the ponytail is then curled and the curls are pinned in the desired location.

The end result is a beautiful updo perfectly suited for the walk down the aisle or a night out on the town.
