I spend my whole life growing out my hair, I think. I love to wear it short and I love it long, so I am always transitioning to one style or another. So, I am growing out now, from this, which was my spring ‘do, to - well, I don’t quite know yet. [...]

Keeping my tresses looking their best has always been a priority for me. So I wasn't too quick to convert my conventional hair products over to the healthy alternative kind. I don't know how it happened, but slowly I made the change to gel, conditioner and shampoo without sodium lauryl sulfate, parabens and other chemicals that I can't pronounce.Admittedly, it wasn't easy at first. I tried everything in the body care aisle of Whole Foods. Without any recommendations, but strictly by trial and error, I eventually found myself exclusively buying Giovanni hair products. Why? Because they are salon quality that deliver a nutritional diet to my hair. They are not a pseudo-healthy alternative that has a drop of botanicals and loads of harsh chemicals. They are the real deal that truly make my hair look great.Fortunately, they are easy on the wallet when compared to salon products, too. For example, Giovanni's L.A. Hold Hair Spray costs just over $7. This spray holds great, doesn't flake and

If you consider yourself a thrifty person. Then probably won't go to a professional hair care salon to have your hair dyed, when you could dye it yourself at home. Before you to care for your hair at home there are somethings that you should know about home hair care.About Home Hair CareThe first thing that you need to know before you decide to dye your hair at home, is choose the color that you are going to dye you hair.

I've talked about the wonders of dry shampoo here before. Dry shampoo is a fabulous time and hair saver, particularly for those of us who prefer to keep our hair blown out. If you've never used dry shampoo before the whole concept can sound a little odd.

For those interested in another opinion abut that iron, along with reviews of a bunch more, Michelle Mooney from Folica.com has written a good article: Flat Irons - a Comparison of Ten Top Rated Favorites. It is great reading for anyone who is considering the purchase of a flat iron. I recommend that you check it out!
The back of my hair is really short and is taking forever to grow (you know underneath all the hair where the "kitchen" grows). When I got my split ends clipped about two weeks ago, my hairdresser told me to try this moisturuzer. She told me to apply it everyday because she had the same problem and now her hair looks good in the back. I've been using it everyday and what is so good about this moisturizer is it's actually being absorbed by the scalp, it's not sitting on top of my hair like everything I have used before. It keeps my hair shiny, soft and manageable.I've been using the mascara pictured on the right for years now and I decided to try something new since I do not want to try fake eyelashes (it just seems like a hassle). Maybelline's new mascara Define-A-Lash definitely lives up to all the hype. It makes your lashes miles and miles long-to the point where people will think you have on fake lashes. You should try it!
Curly Hair Care Tipsby Mahisha DellingerShampoo TipsSome curly girls shampoo, and others choose to skip shampooing and opt for conditioning rinses only. Shampooing curly hair weekly isn't a necessity, curly girls can use a conditioner to effectively rinse away excess dirt and oil. However, I recommend that you shampoo curly hair at least once a month, 2-3x is optimal. Avoid using shampoos that strip your curly hair of essential elements, leaving your hair feeling dry and unmanageable.How to Properly Shampoo Curly Hair: Rinse hair and scalp using warm water (never hot water, as it can dry out the hair and scalp). Apply a small amount of shampoo into the palm of your hand, rub together and evenly coat the scalp. Massage gently with your fingertips. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat only if your scalp is oily or if you have a build up of products on the hair.Additional Shampooing Tips: Before shampooing curly hair, comb a coat of conditioner evenly throughout your tresses. Rinse well. This extra s
I have very fine and semi-wavy hair. It is naturally wavy/curly but because it is so thin it doesn't really look good natural (picture limp, frizzy waves/curls), so I relax it (like most black women). I do my own relaxers at home because there is no difference from when I go to the hair salon-it looks exactly the same-people ask me all the time "What shop do you go to?" or "Who does your hair?". I finally decided to use Dr. Miracle's "Feel It" relaxer because they have been featured in a few mags like Allure and InStyle. I figured it had to be a good product since it was featured in predominantly white magazines. I used the relaxer pictured above last night and now I understand why it's called the "Feel It" formula. After shampooing the relaxer out of your hair, there is a "Secret Potion" that you are supposed to apply to your hair and it's a leave in conditioner/moisturizer. When you apply the potion to your scalp and hair, there is this instant tingling feeling. Your scalp and hair
These young ladies sure do know how to switch it up, from dark brown to white-girl blonde. I personally think Ciara looks a mess as a blonde and I hope she keeps her hair dark. We are so used to seeing Eve as a blonde that we forgot how cute she looks with a natural-looking hair color. Beyonce is always going from dark to light, light to dark. In my opinion, she likes the idea of sometimes looking like the around-the-way girl and then looking like a well, umm -white girl. I think Monica looks the best with her blonde weave because of two reasons: the length/cut/style and because it makes her skin glow. Her hair's length and hair style looks realistic which does not make the color look so damn FAKE, it actually looks really good. Wearing a wig down your back is one thing, but wearing a blonde wig that is down your back is just ridiculous and ghetto.

For a long time i was desperate about the way my hair looks. Even though i use to go at the hair dresser quite frequently (approx once a week), and there i receive a good treatment (l'Oreal Professional shampoo, conditioner and mask), i was not happy with the tern, frizzy feeling of my hair. It didn't shine (except the week after colouring it - i am natural brown, but inside i am a red-head, so i prefer dark, rich red) and some weeks ago i decided i really need a major hair repair.That's why i started researching about hair products, comparing reviews, to see whats the best for damaged hair. At Sephora i came across Frederik Fekkai hair products line, and immediately know that's what i was looking for. The fact that I was reading very good reviews of those "state-of-the-art" (as mention on their website) styling products, plus the list of famous clients of Frederik Fekkai himself (including Liv Tyler, Kim Basinger, etc) convince me.For a start, i bought the Texturing Balm, along with a

Awhile back, I wrote about my wonderful experience with Vita Amazonia DMAE and Matrixyl Creams, which I had gotten as sample in my Beauty Buyble book and samples. Since then, I have been trying some of Vita Amazonia's other products, including some hair products. I continue to be impressed with this company!Vita Amazonia Clean Pollution Shampoo is a gentle and moisturizing shampoo that is formulated to remove pollutants from the hair. The shampoo lathers well and rinses clean. I like it quite a bit as a way to remove product buildup. The companion Clean Pollution Conditioner is also a decent product. I have fine, but also thick hair, so I prefer something a bit more detangling than the conditioner provides. But it is a good companion product for coarser hair types or shorter hair.The product that really shined for me, and unfortunately is currently out of stock on Vita Amazonia's website was the Intensive Keratin Moisturizer. This deep conditioning hair treatment contains silk amino ac

Caviar=Indulgence.It is no surprise that Alterna's Caviar hair care line feels like complete indulgence. I was completely taken by surprise when I used their Caviar Anti-aging Shampoo & Conditioner. My hair is long and feels thick and coarse. I've never had a day when I can simply use a pick through my hair without spraying on detangler first. YET---these products made my hair feel so wonderful, so soft, so smooth and literally it felt so much lighter, that I was amazed to watch my pick go through my hair without using any other hair product first.I'm not the only person who was blown away by their products. During the review process was when I was in and out of the hospital (baby, surgery, etc). My mother stayed at my house to help my husband take care of our other children. She called me at the hospital to basically tell me she was taking home the Alterna products. She told me her hair has never felt better or had such a magnificent shine before. It took a lot of arguing, but she fin
