Styling Products To Keep or Not Too Keep | February 8, 2010

Let’s be honest here for a moment, I know I have spent a ton of money on every frizz fighting product known to women!  I have Rosanna Danna (Saturday Night Live) hair or if you don’t know her I have Chia Pet Hair.  When the humidity levels rise, I sing the song “Cha Cha Chia”  my hair grows 12 inches wider!  It is beautiful, trust me…NOT!

In my years of searching for the greatest frizz product available I tried this product called Living Proof (and it works, halleluiah!!) from Sephora.  What I love about Sephora is that they give you samples … Read More »

Unlocking A Gift of Love | February 4, 2010

A while back, my daughter was six.  Then, she turned seven.   A while back, my daughter repeatedly asked me to replay her favorite episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants™.  Not much later, she asked to watch an HBO special called “Locks of Love: the Kindest Cut” over and over again.  The documentary chronicles an organization that collects hair donations to make wigs for children who have lost their hair. My daughter’s first viewing was followed by many, many questions.

“Where did their hair go?” she asked.

“The children are not well,” I replied.  “Sometimes sickness makes hair fall out.  Sometimes medicine makes hair fall … Read More »

Going Gray; The Real Deal | October 26, 2009

About 3 years ago I made a decision to stop coloring my hair. It seemed like no big deal at the time.  I mean, it is my hair, right?  People change their hair all of the time without big repercussions, right?  Well, it is NOT SO when you choose to go GRAY!

It so happens that my hair has lots of white and gray in it.  The criticism from family, friends, even strangers, came almost immediately!

Let me tell you why I quit “the bottle”.  First, my hair is (was) brown. Brown hair dye fades almost immediately!  It is not like bleach for … Read More »

Take a Beauty Break and Look your Best! | May 1, 2009

Usually, once a year, I spend about a week at the beach with my family. When I do the beach thing I tend to abandon anything that reminds me of my every day routine, and that includes applying makeup and blow drying my hair.

Natural Hair Color Just Not Natural | January 26, 2009

My hair has been a multitude of lengths and colors.  Most recently I had the longer version of Victoria Beckhams angled bob and the mod color stripes in blonde and brown.  I managed to get into a horrible hair rut these last few months.  You know what I’m talking about.  I’m not happy with the style or color, but I don’t know what I want.

Unfortunately, my hair rut lasted almost 4 months.  I was starting to avoid mirrors, so I decided to book an appointment.  I was thinking it was time to go back to my natural color and start … Read More »
