Grow Long Hair

2010-01-17T13:48:00.000-08:00

Have you been wanting to grow long hair, but feeling short on the patience it requires? I’ve sure been there – I want long hair like nobody’s business, but waiting for my hair to grow feels like waiting in an endless line.

It’s like this: you want the gorgeous long locks that you see on other girls, but it seems almost impossible to get. Will it ever happen? Below, we’ve included a few important things to know as well as some helpful tips to help you learn how to grow long hair more quickly.

First of all, you need to understand that when it comes to growing long hair, every person has an actual genetically determined lifespan for their hair. This means that your body lets each strand of hair grow for a certain number of years. At the end of the lifespan, an individual strand will then simply fall out by shedding naturally or simply falling out during a shampoo or while the hair is being brushed.

In addition to the lifespan of a person’s hair, each person’s hair grows at a different rate. So, both things will influence your individual potential for getting long hair (along with a few additional factors we’ll discuss below). For instance, girls who have an easy time maintaining waist-length locks genetically have a longer lifespan for their hair, and may also naturally have hair that grows faster than girls who struggle to get it past their shoulders.

Just like our bodies, we start off with what we have been given genetically. After that, it’s up to how we treat our bodies that determines how we will look overall. If you want to know how to get long hair, understand that each of us may have an easier or harder time getting our hair to grow long due to genetics, but there are definitely things we can do to make the most of what we’ve got:

How to Make Your Hair Grow Longer:

1. Be gentle with your hair. Treat it as if it were delicate tissue paper. This will result in far less breakage than if you pull, twist and mess with it. Some of you are going to hate me, but this includes not twirling your hair! I, for one, have a horrible habit of twirling my hair non-stop. I’ve tried to quit. Guess I’ve just got to try harder. Playing with your hair is one of the worst things you can do.. your hair breaks off at an alarming rate when you regularly twirl it.

2. Don’t tease your hair. When you tease your hair, you actually comb against the cuticle, roughing it up which makes the hair appear dull. When the cuticle is sealed and remains flat and straight, it reflects light and appears shinier. In addition to diminished shine, teasing your hair also weakens the strand and makes it extra vulnerable to breakage.

3. When brushing or combing your hair, start from the ends first. This minimizes tangles. Be gentle as you begin brushing and any tangles you do come across will come out much easier. If your hair is wet, be extra gentle since your hair can stretch and break when it’s wet. The best thing to use on wet hair is a wide tooth comb instead of a brush.

4. Use a deep conditioner. For most people with normal to dry hair, we recommend deep conditioning once a week or so. But if you have very dry or color-treated hair, and you’re trying to grow it out, you will probably want to use a deep conditioner every time you wash your hair, or at least every few days.

5. Don’t use heat when styling your hair. Yes, this one may be practically impossible for most of you, but experts agree that heat styling (drying, curling or straightening) causes your hair to be much more dry and brittle. If you absolutely must use heated styling tools, use a high quality heat protectant product before styling.

6. De-Stress! Stress inhibits hair growth, causing it to thin. The hair that does grow is typically delicate and brittle, resulting in easy breakage.

7. Eat healthy. This is probably one of the most important things you can do. Good nutrition is the foundation for growing healthy hair. Protein, essential fatty acids (like omega 3) and other nutrients will help tremendously in giving you strong, healthy, shiny hair. Taking a high quality multi-vitamin can really help as well. The stronger and healthier your hair, the more easily and quickly it will grow.

8. Trim your ends regularly. Many people claim that trimming your ends makes your hair grow faster. It doesn’t actually make it grow more quickly because it grows from the root, not the tip. However, regular trims keep the ends even and healthy. When they are irregular, dry and straggly, they break much more easily. Keeping them nicely trimmed will actually help you get the length you want more quickly simply because it will eliminate much of the breakage you would otherwise have. Plus, since growing hair long does take time, your hair will look much better along the way.

Hoop Earrings

So to talk about the new 2010 jewelry trends, we need to start from the top. First of all, hoop earrings are back. That is right, they were in a long time ago, however, they started to come back a little bit in 2007, but now they are back full swing with 2010. Not only that, gold is making a come back.

Jewelry Design Council

2010-01-17T13:44:00.000-08:00

Although the jewelry designers that may come to mind when you think of it may not be American, there are plenty of well known American jewelry designers already out there like Henry Dunay and Jose Hess. In fact, there are thousands more of American jewelry designers who have not yet left their mark on the jewelry design world, and are helped each year by the American Jewelry Design Council (AJDC) founded in 1988 by Dunay and Hess. The AJDC helps introduce new American jewelry designers to the world and gives them a chance to get their work out there and known.

Jose Hess Sapphire and Onyx Pendant

When one thinks of jewelry designers the names that may come to mind are Harry Winston, Cartier, Bulgari, and so on, with very few American names coming to mind. However, there are some major American jewelry designers that are quite well known as well as up and coming. Have you ever heard of Tiffany’s? Tiffany’s is one of the most important and influential of American jewelry companies and has grown to be a household name, even for those households that could never afford a piece of jewelry from the infamous store. Because there are relatively so few American jewelry designers known worldwide, there have been steps taken in recent years to change that.

Susan Helmich Opal and Agate Pin

One way that American jewelry designers are getting a chance to make their names known and their pieces seen by people all over is through the American Jewelry Design Council (AJDC). The American Jewelry Design Council is a nonprofit organization that helps promote the understanding and acceptance of jewelry design as an art rather than just a craft. In doing so, this organization helps American jewelry designers get their name and jewelry out there in the world.

The American Jewelry Design Council was actually founded and established by eight well known American jewelry designers back in 1988. Two of these American designers were Henry Dunay and Jose Hess. The main objectives of the Council are to raise awareness of original jewelry as an art, to educate and encourage an appreciation of original jewelry, to exchange ideas and knowledge, to establish a set of standards for excellence, and to promote an artistic identity of jewelry to the public’s perception. Every year since its inception, the American Jewelry Design Council has offered educational activities ranging from panel discussions, publications, studio visits, lectures, and exhibitions.

Barbara Heinrich 18K Gold Earrings

The American Jewelry Design Council holds a major contest each year that helps introduce new talent in fine jewelry making to the world. The contest winner receives a free booth at the New Designer Gallery at the July JA Show in New York, which is one of the best ways for an up and coming American jewelry designer to get his or her name out there – and their jewelry! The AJDC allows any American jewelry designer to participate in the contest that has never exhibited at the New York JA Show.

For more information on the most influential of American jewelry designers as those who are about to make their debut in the jewelry world, you can log on to the AJDC website to find out more. The American Jewelry Design Council showcases the works of many American jewelry designers as well as provides an educational look at the history of jewelry design. For any jewelry enthusiast, this council is an integral part of the jewelry design world.

Skin Care Tips

2010-01-16T13:14:00.000-08:00

Acne Scar Prevention and Pimple Treatment
Many people suffer with mild to severe acne throughout adolescence and well into their adult lives. While a small zit or blemish can wreck your week, it can turn into something much more bothersome if it leaves an acne scar behind when it fades. With many women worrying about fine lines around their eyes and mouths, others are more worried about the scars caused by acne.

Long Lasting Acne Scars Worse than Wrinkles Some Say

In fact, adults admit acne scars are much more bothersome than wrinkles due to aging. Thus, if you want better skin it’s important to think about how to reduce pimple breakouts and focus on prevention of acne. After all, once the pimples are present it can be difficult to deal with them. But, if you can head them off before they even show up you’ll be one step ahead of the game and on your way to a face without acne and acne scars. Use these tips to help you reduce not only pimples and blackhead breakouts but also the appearance of acne scars.

Try at-home treatments to reduce pimples: You may be tempted to run to the dermatologist to solve your acne problem. However, before you make the doctor’s appointment you may be able to see excellent results with at-home treatments like Proactiv treatment cream systems or those with Retin A. Many people can see great results in reducing their acne and acne scars with this treatment and prevention skin product line. The key to these products is often consistency. If you want to commit to doing an at-home treatment plan, you must be willing to follow the plan completely. Most of these plans fail because the user won’t consistently use the products as recommended and directed.

See a dermatologist about skin care options: If you’ve tried everything on the shelves to eliminate your acne or acne scars, it may be time to see a dermatologist. A skin care specialist can help you determine the cause of your acne and help you seek therapy for acne scars. Dermabrasion and laser treatments are often great choices for those who want to reduce or improve the look of their acne scars. In addition, skin doctors can prescribe medication if necessary. Another great reason to see a dermatologist on a yearly basis is for a skin check, to eliminate your risk of having skin cancer and not being aware of it.

Use sunblock everyday to protect skin: Many people think the sun helps their acne but it often only masks the problem. When the tan fades, the skin will still show inflammation or rosacea because acne vulgaris doesn’t go away fully when exposed to the sun. While you may feel your best when your complexion is tan, sun exposure can lead to cancer which is obviously much worse than dealing with your acne in other ways. Thus, it makes more sense to use a sunblock which will not clog your pores.

Acne and acne scars can be embarrassing. If you suffer from cyst acne and deal with an eruption daily, you may also be suffering with acne pain. Thus, finding a way to get rid of your acne and acne scars might be high priority in your life. The great news is there are many ways to reduce the appearance of acne and acne scars. Try the at-home treatments and if they don’t work head to your dermatologist for more intense treatment options.

Wedding Makeup Ideas

2010-01-16T13:06:00.000-08:00

Every woman wants to look and feel beautiful on her wedding day. From wedding makeup to the wedding gown, each process is often planned far in advance. However, when the big day comes, many last minute things can occur and brides should be prepared for wedding makeup meltdowns with these helpful preparation tips.

See a Makeup Professional

About three weeks before your wedding date, it’s important to focus a great deal on your skin. Chances are you’ll be getting nervous and your skin is going to get fussy. Be sure you’re getting enough rest, drinking enough water and cleansing regularly. It’s also a great time to see a professional makeup artist. While most brides can’t afford to hire a professional makeup artist to apply the makeup and touch up before the wedding photographer takes pictures, you can often get a free bridal consultation at Sephora or other makeup counters in your local mall. These consultations can help you better understand what types of foundation will last through your wedding day sweat and tears.

Simple Wedding Makeup Beauty

While your wedding day is a time you can choose to glamour-up your look, it’s not a great day to take on a huge risk. The basics are really all you did for your big day. Look for a foundation which will give you a dewy glow, without leading to shine. Choose waterproof mascara for your lashes, in case you get a bit emotional throughout the ceremony. Choose a colored gloss for your lips and forgo heavy lip liners and lipsticks. Make your eyes the focus of your face, by applying a rich hue of brown, gray or lavender to your lids. Smudge darker colored eyeliner onto the top of your upper lash line for a smoky look. Remember, you want to look like yourself, just with a more beauty forward wedding style added into the mix.

Ideas for Covering Up Blemishes Or A Tattoo

If you’re getting married in the snowy winter, you’ll not likely need to worry so much. But, if your wedding is taking place at a beach where you’ll be showing off your body in a summer wedding gown, you may want to think about covering up any tattoos showing. Many brides choose to purchase specialized makeup to cover up their body tattoos for their wedding day. Just be sure to test the makeup beforehand to ensure it not only covers but also won’t come off on your dress. Of course, other brides choose to be themselves on their wedding day, tattoos and all!

Keep in mind, your wedding makeup should be something you experiment with in the month before your wedding. Don’t wait until your wedding day to try something new, or you could be in for a bad surprise. Not only could your makeup look bad but it could also cause an allergic reaction if not tried before. Keep wedding day makeup simple and elegant. Do what you normally do when going out, but jazz it up a bit with a rosier color on the cheeks and lips. Don’t overdo it or you’ll end up with makeup that outshines you!

Vitamin C Gives Cosmetic and Skin Benefits; Find Natural Sources For Best Protection From Wrinkles and Photodamage

2010-01-16T13:03:00.000-08:00

While you’ve likely been focusing on getting all of your vitamins via your nutrition, the good news is vitamins are also beneficial to your skin through skin care products! One of the most popular vitamin additions to skin care products is Vitamin C. This anti aging vitamin has been studied and confirmed as being an extremely effective addition to skin care routines. When antioxidant Vitamin C is added to your skin, it helps your skin get rid of free radicals. Since free radicals can greatly damage your skin, the use of Vitamin C is vital to your skin health! In addition, Vitamin C can help your body rev up its production of collagen.

Beauty Benefits of Vitamin C

On a beauty note, adding Vitamin C to your skin care routine can help you look great on many levels. The topical use of Vitamin C revitalizes your skin, allowing for improvement in the tone and texture! You will instantly look younger with smooth and silky skin on your face and body. It works to protect you against UVB rays and can help you combat sun damage, wrinkles and photodamage. These are some of the most common skin worries of women today.

Effective Topical Products with Vitamin C For Skin Care

Cosmetic gurus and their sources are taking note of the power behind Vitamin C and are adding it and its derivatives to many products on the market. Derivatives like ascorbyl palmitate and ascorbic acid are commonly used, because they are less irritating than Vitamin C itself. Those with sensitive skin can still reap the protection and natural benefits of Vitamin C, without any irritation.

Beneficial Vitamin C in Cosmetics

When you start your venture for Vitamin C induced skin care products, there are a few things to remember. First, remember there are many claims being made from various companies on their skin care products. To find the best products with Vitamin C, be sure to look at the color of the product. Those products with a yellow or brown tint should be avoided. Vitamin C often turns these colors when exposed to air and thus becomes ineffective in creating collagen and elastic.

Vitamin C Offers Cosmetic Benefits

Many women would rather sit through a chemical peel or a microdermabrasion session for skin care repair and conditioning. However, using a daily Vitamin C product can help you repair and prep your skin everyday. You can get products which include Vitamin C derivatives (L-ascorbic acid and others) for use at home. Therefore, you can continuously reap the benefits of Vitamin C, without heading to the spa.

Shampooing

2010-01-16T12:45:00.000-08:00

First, thoroughly saturate scalp and hair using warm or cool water (hot water tends to dry out hair and scalp). Apply a small amount of shampoo (about the size of a quarter) to palm and rub hands together to evenly distribute. Now apply shampoo to scalp with the balls of your fingers. The primary objective of shampooing is to clean your scalp, not wrestle your hair, so concentrate on massaging gently and allow suds to be distributed throughout hair while rinsing. It’s not necessary to do the “rinse and repeat” routine unless you have an oily scalp.
The right way to condition -
After rinsing shampoo, apply some conditioner in one hand and rub palms together to evenly distribute. Apply conditioner from the middle of the hair shaft down to ends; do not massage conditioner onto scalp unless scalp is dry. Comb through hair to distribute product evenly. Leave conditioner on hair long to help smooth the cuticle—it only takes a few seconds. Rinse thoroughly - It’s important to rinse shampoo and conditioner from your scalp. Stand under the shower and gently lift hair to permit the water to reach the scalp. Hair will be thoroughly rinsed when it feels consistently clean as you run your fingers from scalp to ends. Some people believe a cold water rinse is best.
To wash or not to wash? -
Shampooing frequency for normal hair depends on whether hair is curly or straight. Shampoo and condition straight hair every day for a sleek, radiant look. Curly hair, however, becomes too fluffy if it’s washed too often, so it’s okay to shampoo and condition every other day.
Should you occasionally switch shampoos? -
Most Salon shampoos do not build up on hair; they continue to work effectively as long as you use them, so there’s no need to switch products (another myth debunked). However, shampooing occasionally without using any conditioner or styling products to give hair a rest. Choosing the right products for your hair - Fine or thin hair can sometimes be more delicate and could benefit from a protein enriched shampoo and conditioner formula with a light level of conditioner. Curly hair may look dry, and therefore can benefit from a regimen which includes moisturizing ingredients.
Chemistry of shampoos
People expect a lot from shampoos. Unfortunately, it is not easy to tell a good shampoo from a poor one. Cost, fragrance, and lots of foam is what most people look for in shampoo products. Lather and foam is of little importance , but they often get the most attention.
Foaming occurs when surfactant molecules gather around air instead of oil. The result is millions of tiny bubbles. Obviously, the air bubbles are using the surfactants that should be removing dirt and oil. We have all seen shampoo advertisements showing happy, beautiful people taking showers with their heads heaped high with mounds of lather. These images have taught the public to associate lather with cleansing ability.
The truth is, lots of foamy lather only means too much shampoo was used. Excess foam equals waste. Sebum and other oils quickly destroy foam. Ideally, the head should have just enough lather to lubricate the scalp and hair. This will help your fingers massage the shampoo more effectively into the hair.
Fragrances and foaming qualities are not good ways to evaluate shampoos. Examine the hair's condition after several uses. Is it flyaway, is it hard to comb, does it seem limp, do colors fade, is the hair dry or the scalp itchy?
Carefully choose the shampoo to use and recommend. The quality of your services and the success of your repeat business may depend on the decision of product choice
The major types of surfactants are:
Anionic (an-eye-ON-ick)
Cationic (kat-eye-ON-ick)
Nonionic (non-eye-ON-ick)
Amphoteric (am-fo-TERR-ick)
Identification and names are important in all professions but for chemists, they are especially useful. Chemists try to choose names that provide information about the chemical. For example, anionic and cationic surfactants both end with "ionic" for a reason. These surfactants are a special type of chemical called an ion (EYE-on). Salt bonds are important type of chemical bonds in the hair. Salt bonds give hair many important properties and affect most chemical treatments. Although the term salt bond is used frequently in cosmetology, it is incorrect. These chemical bonds are actually called ionic bonds, and they occur between ions. Ions and ionic bonds are really quite simple to understand. Ions are molecules that have small electrical charges. These charges are positive or negative. They repel or attract each other. Opposite charges attract and similar charges repel.
Table salt, sodium chloride, is an excellent example. Sodium forms positive ions and chlorine makes negative ions. The opposite charges attract each other and make table salt. These charges are identical to those found in batteries or static electricity, but on a much smaller scale. Individual ionic bonds are very weak, but millions of them in combination are quite strong. Surfactants with a negative charge are called anionic (an-eye-ON-ick). A surfactant with a positive charge is cationic.
Anionic Surfactants (Negatively charged ion) Anionic surfactants are the most widely used detergents in the cosmetology profession. They are inexpensive, simple to prepare, and excellent cleaners. They also rinse easily from the hair. A major disadvantage is that they can be harsh and irritating to the scalp Frequently, other surfactants and ingredients are added to reduce skin irritation.
Cationic Surfactants (Positively charged ion) Cationic surfactants are rarely used in high concentrations in the cosmetology profession. Many types are dangerous to the eyes but are safe and useful in low amounts. Until recently, their positive charges prevented them from being mixed with negatively charged anionic surfactants. Newer types, however, eliminate this incompatibility.
Look at the label!!! Here is a guide to how gentle your shampoo is according to the surfactant used:
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate - very, very, harsh
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate- very harsh but better than the above
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate- better than the above, but still a little harsh
Sodium Laureth Sulfate-gentle, great pick!
TEA lauryl Sulfate-good pick
TEA Laureth Sulfate-good pick

ON HAIR STYLING

2010-01-16T12:32:00.000-08:00

Calming Bang Cowlicks
One of the most effective techniques for dealing with cowlicks at the bang area is to try drying the bangs forward with a vent or round brush so that the cowlick will be weighted down. Another technique is to have a hairstyle that incorporates the cowlick into the style thereby creating lift at the cowlick. Use styling tools to support either styling technique.

Curling Iron Styling
If you want a longer hold when you style with a curling iron try spraying hairspray BEFORE curling hair.

Styling With Hot Rollers
When using hot rollers spray dry hair first with a "working" hairspray. Take your first section and comb it smooth, spray with hairspray and then twist the section before wrapping on the roller. This will give a spiral look to your curls. After rollers have cooled take out rollers and spray with a "working" hairspray. Finally turn head upside down and run your fingers through your hair.

Hair Splits At Crown Area
This problem can be treated by utilizing the correct styling tools and drying the problem area in the opposite direction to redirect the hair and give it more lift. Don't dry the hair flat to your head as it magnifies the split in the crown area. Instead use a vent brush to lift the hair at the scalp. If the hair is sticking up in the crown area and you have a short cut, try growing the hair longer. You should find that the weight of the hair will weigh down the crown cowlick.

Using a Blowdryer and Brush To Turn One Length Hair Under
After drying hair 70% dry use a round brush or rounded vent brush begin drying hair under. Use a working spray and spray on the ends of your hair while the brush is in a turned under postion in your hair. Aim the blow dryer at the hair that is in the brush for 15 seconds then let the hair cool for 5-10 seconds and then remove brush. You may have to turn the dryer off and put it on the counter until you get used to applying the technique. The key factor is spraying the hair, then using a blowdryer set to "hot" to act like a curling iron then allowing the hair to cool before removing the brush. Repeat until all the hair is dryed under. If you have a lot of hair try pinning the top layer up and working first on the underneath layer.

There a few words that best describe the styles for Winter'97-'98: Disco, Sleek, Poetic & Bedroom Disco: Updated versions of the look of the 70's looks more undone than the originals. You can scrunch your hair while blow-drying to add texture using a round brush and oversize curlers. The tools:For a wet look use gel. For a dry tousled texture use a thickener before drying. Sleek: Every strand may be perfectly in place, but what makes this season's smooth styles so modern is stiffness. Blow-dry your hair away from your face. The tools: for maximum smoothness apply a light finishing product to wet hair. Poetic: It doesn't get any prettier than this. Soft, tousled, tendriled styles that bring to mind lovesick heroines. How to is all about teasing the classic way from the root, for super volume and texture. The tools: Use thickening lotion or volumizer on wet hair. Scrunch as you blow dry, then tease. Bedroom: "I just woke up" is the sexy message in these styles. How achieve that sexy look, tease your hair along the shaft (not at the root). You can apply this technique to either your entire head or a random section for a more laid back look. The tools: Apply a root lifting lotion to hair before you style it.

The number one complaint of clients is they can not get their hair to style the same way as when they left the salon. Hair designers use foams, gels, spray gels, liquid gels, etc. for a reason. Each product is used as a tool the same way they use scissors, rollers, irons, or a blow dryer. To Create Volume...On clean towel dried hair: Apply a product designed to create volume . Apply it at the roots of your hair and comb through to the ends(you want more product at toward the scalp than at the ends- this makes the hair "lift") When blow drying, use the high heat setting when the hair is damp. When the hair is almost dry, use your brush to hold your hair in place and use the cool setting to "set" the hair. After the hair is completely dry and your style is set, use a stronger holding hair spray to keep the hair in place.

If you use curling irons... On clean towel dried hair: Apply a product designed to create volume . Apply it at the roots of your hair and comb through to the ends(you want more product at toward the scalp than at the ends- this makes the hair "lift") Let hair cool before brushing out. After the hair is completely dry and your style is set, use a stronger holding hair spray to keep the hair in place.

If you use rollers (cold or hot)... On clean towel dried hair: Apply a product designed to create volume . Apply it at the roots of your hair and comb through to the ends(you want more product at toward the scalp than at the ends- this makes the hair "lift") Roll your hair. Mist lightly with a light to medium hair spray (do not use a strong one) When hair is dry, brush out, and finish with a stronger finishing spray.

eye makeup tips

2010-01-16T12:14:00.000-08:00

Deep Set Eyes
Deep set eyes can be given more prominence by applying a pale shade of eye shadow over the lid and darker shadow under the brow. Apply lots of mascara to both top and bottom lashes.

Prominent Eyes
Prominent eyes can be made less obvious by applying a dark shade of eye shadow over the entire lid and using a highlighter under the brow. Eyeliner can help minimize the lid and plenty of mascara will emphasize top lashes.

Wide Set Eyes
Wide set eyes can be brought closer by accentuating the inner corner, using dark eye shadow between the eyes and the bridge of the nose as well as on the inner half of the eye. Applying a lighter tone to outer half, stopping at the corner of the eye. Increase the thickness of the mascara towards the centre of the eye.

Close Set Eyes
Close set eyes can be extended by applying highlighter to the inner half of the eye. Start a darker shade of the eye shadow from the centre of the eye working out and beyond the corner. Increase the application of the mascara at the outer corners of the lashes. Pluck eye brows well
