What are your thoughts on the Brazilian Blowout controversy?

You all know that my undergraduate degree is in Chemistry- and yes, I analyzed the chemical composition of "Lye" and " No-Lye" relaxers as a project for my Analytical Chemistry course. What we found was that the chemicals listed in the ingredients were definitely in the product! And yes, I got an "A"!

So when WWD broke the news about the Brazilian Blowout controversy, I had to know your thoughts! Just in case you haven't heard- "Brazilian Blowout" a professional hair smoothing treatment claimed to be formaldehyde-free, was exposed after an Oregon hairstylist, with the help of Oregon Health & Science University, found between 4.85 percent and 10.6 percent formaldehyde in samples. Not cool - at all!

Let me know your thoughts. Have you had the treatment? If so, how was the process and what were your results? Has your salon now pulled the treatment from their service menu? Do you rely on your hairstylist's product knowledge/expertise before considering a salon treatment? Or, do you do your own research?

What are your "hair plans" for the summer?

With summer quickly approaching (of course, not fast enough), I'd love to know what your plans are for your hair! Are you planning to cut, color or add extensions? Will you be wearing it curly or rocking a "no-fuss" style (if so, tell us what it is!). Whatever your plans might be, please share!

My new beauty editor, Ayanna, recently colored her hair (inspired by Queen Latifah's haircolor in the new CoverGirl Queen Collection ads! Click to see the before and after (click on her profile pic)!

Mischo Beauty: Armani Prive Fall 2008 Couture

As you all know, the Christian Dior Fall 2008 Couture show was my absolute favorite of all the shows, but with hair being my first love- I would have loved to have been the Creative Director for hair for this show! When I saw the overall look, my first thought was GLAMOUR! The hair definitely speaks for itself! Feel free to check out my Lookbook to see more looks from the show. Enjoy.

Of all the fall 2008 couture shows that took place in Paris a few weeks ago, my favorite was definitely the Christian Dior show. I'd love to order a custom look from this runway show, along with the hairstyles, makeup and nail art that complimented each look. Feel free to check out my Lookbook to see more looks from the show. Enjoy.
