Miss Jessie's Creme De La Creme daily conditioner


Miss Jessie's has created possibly the best conditioner ever.
It goes on easily, smells like fruity-floral-salon hair should, and leaves my hair soft!
I have been having fried ends and crazy frizz in our lovely weather, this actually helps without making my hair feel like it's encased in crap.

Buy this, and be sure to thank the geniuses who invented it.

Mohawks are back. Where is my safety-pin jewelry?

If you rocked a Mohawk in the 70's/80's, please stop and think before recreating the look. As the saying goes, if you were part of the fad the first time, leave it alone the second...

That said, Mohawks (for the young or the ironic, please) are standing again.

Amanda Lenz from patrick mcivor color studio has tips on how to keep them sky high.

“Feminine Mohawks are empowering and strong. Most are of the pixie variation, piecy and fringy around the perimeter and rather tight around the ears and sides with a longer panel on the top from the crown to the fringe area. The beauty of this haircut is its diversity. It can be worn up for a fresh, rocked out look or down framing the face,” explains Lenz.

Sky High

· Towel dry hair and mix Vavoom Take Me Higher Root Riser and Biolage Volumizing Whipped Mousse through the top center of the hair (the sides and back do not need - the sleeker those areas are, the better.)

· Blow dry top section up and back while pulling through with fingers (for those with more texture, a round brush will help).

· When hair is totally dry, spray all over with an extra-hold shaping spray and set in large barrel curls, rolling away from face. Overdirect the curls forward for maximum volume. Pick curls out with fingers. For extra definition, use a light pomade to lift and separate.

· Freeze fin with Vavoom Freezing Spray for long lasting hold.

H2O+ Sea Salt Replenishing Shampoo


Salt and Shampoo are not normally things I think of as playing nice.
Salt and Pepper, Shampoo and Conditioner--now those are the pairs that pop into my mind.

I don't know what the salt does in the H2O+ Sea Salt Replenishing Shampoo, but it all works.
Hair is clean, but not turned to straw.
Pleasant, light scent.
Good lather.

I let my mom "borrow" it, I now have to go out and buy another bottle.
