5 Quick Tips for Summer Ready Skin

2012-05-15T20:39:08Z

Your skin’s health is extremely important. Bottom line: healthy skin makes beautiful skin. So The Last Tangle Salo n wanted to share 5 key tips that will help get your skin summer ready for cute bikinis and flirty sundresses.

1. Drink lots of Water.

Before the facials, creams, lotions and etc. Drinking lots of water will help to keep your skin from drying out and flush out toxins that can cause unsightly blemishes.

2. Wear sunscreen.

From the makeup to the sunscreen lotions that include SPF, there should be some sort of sunscreen on your face to protect your skin. The longer you know you will be outside, the higher number SPF you want protecting your skin.

3. Exfoliate Regularly.

Getting facials and peels really helps to make your skin look instantly polished.

4. Go for the Bronzer.

Bronzer can make your skin look healthy as soon as you apply it. Great for enhancing your skin tone and strengthening your tan.

5. Always carry Lip Gloss.

Don’t forget, your lips need protection from the sun and moisture too! There are plenty of lip products that offer SPF and better ingredients like aloe to help moisturize your lips.

Skin is important to us here at Last Tangle Salon, that’s why we carry Dermalogica products. So please feel free to talk to Oneita or one of our staff about your skincare needs.

Four Advantages of Demi-Permanent Hair Color

2012-05-15T20:51:29Z

If you want great hair color to cover your grays that lasts longer than semi-permanent color, but is not as final as permanent color, a happy medium for you just might be demi-permanent hair color. Lasting up to 28 shampoos, demi-permanent color could take anywhere from a month to a month and a half to fade out.

Take a look at four advantages to demi-permanent hair color featured on Yahoo!Shine:

1. It can cover up to 70% of your gray hair. Just starting to go gray? Try experimenting with demi-permanent color.

2. Your hair will look healthy and shiny. Demi-permanent color is much gentler on the hair than permanent color.

3. It can enhance and add dimension to your natural hair color. Since there is no peroxide in demi-permanent color it is gentler on the hair and will not dramatically alter the color.

4. You don’t have to make a big commitment. If you need an introduction to hair color, demi-permenant is the way to go.

Demi permanant color can also be applied as a clear gloss. The Last Tangle Salon uses Redken’s Shades EQ creams and liquids for the look that fits you the best. If you are ready to venture into color, stop by Last Tangle in Overland Park, or call to setup an appointment at 913-648-8923.
