I know...where have I been?Well, I was doing some Bridal photoshoots! This was the first time that I actually participated in a "real" photoshoot. LOLAfter all these years of doing hair, now I decide that I need a really strong portfolio, pictures, of my work.

Hollywood's best kept secret has become apart of "everyday" America. The problem is that women are, unnecessarily, losing their hair to the overuse of lace wigs.Lace wigs were not designed for everyday wearing, unless you are suffering from major hair loss due to alopecia or illness.

She looked better in past photos .

To start, give yourself a good hair treatment to condition the hair for relaxing. I prefer protein treatments because they give the hair the extra strength required to sustain after chemicals.Remember: Hair is composed of protein (keratin), and Blushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857071275446209540noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513256225274571026.post-65477623857914634322008-09-19T14:54:00.007-05:002008-09-19T16:15:52.899-05:00You Strip...the Tab is on Me!Lately, every where I go, all I see is women wearing false eyelashes. And..I do mean every where! Now, some of my fellow ladies look great, and some..well..let's just leave it at that.People.. there is an art to putting on falsies. To start, decide if you want to apply strip lashes or individual lashes. What's the difference?...your personal preference for the look, longevity, and your skill Blushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857071275446209540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513256225274571026.post-69758714049073160872008-09-16T22:21:00.013-05:002008-09-16T23:23:59.957-05:00What is the Best Relaxer for My Hair?Well..that is a loaded question!First, let me start by saying that it depends on your hair type, condition, and scalp sensitivities.Yes...scalp sensitivities! Some relaxers are very strong and can do major damage to sensitive scalps. One way to increase scalp protection is to use a base, which is a protective barrier cream. Second, is to use the right product at the correct strength.My favorite Blushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857071275446209540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513256225274571026.post-33017101234745071282008-09-16T01:27:00.007-05:002008-09-16T01:51:43.995-05:00My Obsession for the Full StoryI love Origins mascara, Full Story! Origins, a beauty company that creates natural beauty products, has produced one of the best mascaras.Here is what they had to say about Full Story:Origins unique wax-free, gel-based formula allows you to build lashes without clumping, spiking or looking spider-leg like.

Reason being...the scalp is merely an extension of your face, therefore, the harsh chemicals and hair products may cause the skin of the scalp to become excessively dry.One Blushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857071275446209540noreply@blogger.com3
