Beautiful hair needs an expert: Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave In Conditioner

So I'm posting about another product from the Sexy Hair line because a few of you asked me about the Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave In Conditioner after reading the comments section from my post last week. This was one product I loved using while in cosmetology school. We used to fight over it- believe it or not- because my school never seemed to keep it stocked! Anyway, I loved it because it has so many uses. Not only is it a great leave-in conditioner and detangler, but I was able to use it for roller sets (depending on the type of hold my client wanted) and for cutting, as opposed to spraying the hair with water to keep it hydrated. It contains a soy protein that strengthens the hair, while conditioning and moisturizing all at the same time. I highly recommend it for someone like Nicole Ritchie, who colors their hair and wears hair extensions because her hair definitely needs constant conditioning. Finally, this product isn't a heavy leave-in conditioner, so there's no need to worry about hair being weighed down- just style as usual!

Has anyone used it?

Mischo Beauty School: Haircuts 101

I’ve recently received the same question with regards to how to go about achieving a great haircut. And, just last week, a friend of mine decided to have her hair cut at the little shop she goes to for eyebrow threading in Manhattan. She asked the stylist for a trim and then changed her mind and asked for a few layers. There was no consultation, no discussion of haircut photos and to top it off- there was a language barrier! Let's just say that she wasn't very pleased with the results, so this post is dedicated to her as well.

Every haircut is made up of a combination of basic techniques used to create varying shapes and effects on the hair. Before having your haircut, I recommend the following:

- Consultation with stylist (discuss face shape, hair texture and lifestyle)

- Review haircut/style photos with stylist

- Consider home maintenance requirements

- Be realistic

Taking the above into consideration will ensure that you and the stylist agree on the best direction and that the stylist has adequate information to achieve the desired end result.

Love your hair.
