The next wave in hair care....NATURAL INGREDIENTS!


The one scary thing about looking good is that practically all the products we use today are packed with chemicals like sulfate and other synthetic properties. Shampoos, conditioners and styling solutions have so much of these mixed into them that it actually  seems they do us more harm than good. In fact, it was just discovered that "paraben," a preservative used in beauty products like shampoo and make-up, is a carcinogen! That is insane: we've been exposed to so much damaging chemicals that we may need to start asking ourselves if being beautiful is worth it.

But of course it is. We just need to avoid products that have too much of these chemicals, and start using products that recognize the importance of being beautiful and healthy. We don't need all these ingredients. Let's go back to the basics. Being beautiful doesn't need to be so complicated!  

I've always believed in keeping things simple and natural. Right now, I am using a fabulous new product called BISH, which is an all-natural, moisturizing shampoo minus all the synthetic, hair-deadening agents. The shampoo contains only lush and proven effective ingredients like sea kelp and alginates. This shampoo is excellent for hair and scalp health---the difference is obvious in just a couple of months. Unfortunately, the store does not carry this shampoo or anything like it yet. It's a brand new product and I am privileged to be able to use it at my studio. (And it comes in a beautiful glass bottle, which I love).

It's all about taking a step back and rediscovering the natural.

Today's Beauty Tip: how to deal with all the rain, get smooth frizz free hair


Today's beauty tip: in the rainy weeks to come, remember to use a smoothing creme in your hair to keep the moisture out and the shine in. i love ALFAPARF's Diamonti smoothing creme because its light and works beautifully to keep frizz down and your hair smooth.
use a small amount on your damp hair, work it thru from your scalp right down to to your ends. blow dry on high heat for just a few minutes focusing on the root area ONLY, then switch to medium heat to finish your blow dry remembering to always work down the cuticle layer {blowing the air down the hair shaft} to keep it smooth. finishing your blow dry with a shot of cool air will seal your cuticle and give your hair a smooth shinny look.
