Ask Mischo Beauty...

This week's question comes from a reader, who asked the following:

"I have thin hair and when it gets wet it will get VERY curly, is there a product that can loosen my curls? Maybe like a relaxer?"

Well, a relaxer will straighten your hair permanently, so you'll want to stay away from it. But, a texturizer (which is just the mildest form of a relaxer) will loosen your curl pattern - if applied correctly. But, before rushing out for a texturizer, I'd recommend that you try the following curl enhancing products which are recommended for curly hair types:

- Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancer
- Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding
- Frederic Fekkai Luscious Curls Cream
- Moroccanoil Intense Curl Cream
- Redken Ringlet 07

Now I don't have curly hair, so my recommendations are from those I know who do and who basically swear by the products listed above! I hope this helps. Please stop back by and let us know how you decide to move forward! And as always, please feel free to send me any additional questions you might have. Love your skin.

Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Redken & Marc Jacobs Spring 2011

My favorite collection this season is, without a doubt (seriously, this collection is ME!), Marc Jacobs' Spring 2011 collection. The overall look was "70's glam" and I love how Guido Palau for Redken was able to completely capture the decade in the look he created for the hair.

A combination of curling, crimping, brushing and teasing were used along with Redken's Thickening Lotion and Quick Dry Instant Finishing Hairspray. Soooooo are you loving the look as much as I am?

Mischo Beauty + Tuleh @ Mercedes Benz Fashion Week

Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear Tuleh Runway (February 3, 2008)

The second show I attended on Sunday evening was Tuleh. Believe it or not, when designer Bryan Bradley was asked about his inspiration for this collection, he stated "Barack Obama". The collection's colors seemed perfect for ushering in fall/winter with winter whites, mauves, oranges, and various shades of green.

The hair for this collection was loose and free-flowing with a soft wave/curl, reminiscent of 1920's Veronica Lake. The makeup was nude, with dewey accents on the forehead and cheeks, a touch of shimmer/metallic on the eyelids and a soft pink/beige lip. The nails, short and shaped to perfection, were made complete with coats of various shades of metallic nail polish which were perfect accents to each look and perfectly matched a color in each look.
