Time to Rewind

We all know, I hope, that we shouldn't be washing our hair every single day. If you have been reading my blog  you hear me talk about this a few times. It's not good for your hair or scalp to be washing it every day, because what happens is you start messing with your natural oils your scalp produces.

 Washing all the time confuses your oil glands and they will start to work more making your hair more oily. If you have been washing your hair everyday and have tried to switch to every other day or a couple of days you might have experienced your hair being oily. That's just because that's what your scalp is use to. It's use to over working itself, so after the you have done it a couple times you will be fine. Your glands will start to slow down and go to the normal rate.

There are still days, like your second day or third, when your hair part and/or bang area will become separated and a little oily. That's when this new product that I love comes in handy. It's a dry shampoo from the AG product line, it's name is Fast Forward. With dry shampoos you just spray them right where their needed, like for those areas we just talked about. Just be careful to not spray to much or too close. You simply just part your hair a few sections and spray a bit, then brush your hair and it will do it's magic.

 What the magic is it absorbs oils from unwanted areas, so that way you don't have to full on wash your hair.

 It's quick and easy! You can get this product at Me Salon, tell them that you heard it from me. If any of you have questions for me don't be afraid to ask, then I can write a post on your question :) 

Shades of Color

Lately I have had people asking me about what hair color they should do. A lot of them are wanting a change from what they have had, and they just want to feel fresh and new. When it comes to hair color on highlights or just one color you want to do whats going to look the most flattering on you. Something that will compliment you.

What you want to think of when deciding on a new hair color is what will look good with your skin tone. Just because the dark chocolate brown hair color looks good on your friend doesn't mean that it will be the same for you. If you have red in your skin tone it's probably not a good idea to get the Nicole Kidman red in your hair. Instead what you could do is do a pretty brown with a red tone to it. That way the red isn't the dominant color.

A lot of it goes with how dark or fair your skin color is too. I can say from personal experience that someone with fair skin should not go platinum blond. I had platinum blond for a couple of years, and I wish my hair dresser would have told me that is washes me out. I have fair skin and with the blond it did nothing for my completion. It made me look even paler than I was. Once I got into Taylor Andrews and learned about skin tones I learned that I should stay at a medium blond; like a champagne color of blond. It has a little bit of what I like to call "mocha" color in it. It compliments my skin color and doesn't make me look fairer than I am. I have changed my hair color here and there, but I have never gone anymore than three shades darker than my natural which is a medium blond.

If your looking for a change you don't have to do drastic change. Stay with what flatters you and play around with different tones. What I mean by that is a brown with red in it or a softer look of a brown. A blond that doesn't have so much yellow in it and more of a gold. For reds play around with a deeper red or more of a copper. You can still have fun! You just need to find out who makes you "you" and embrace it!!

Flawless Glow

We all see that beautiful glow some of our favorite stars have. We wonder where they get it and how when we're sure they have very busy lives. How do they not have dark circles under their eyes from running around all the time?

Some of it does have to do what they eat. Eating green leafy vegetables and drinking enough water can help with those dark circles, but it is also how they wear their make up. There are actually a lot of tricks to the trade that help you look flawless and glowing. The glowing look you want that is around your eyes all starts with your concealer. When picking out a concealer you want a shade or two lighter than your foundation is. I personally like the cream stick concealers. They are easy to apply where you want it and don't create a mess.

To start you will do this before you apply your foundation. Apply your concealer right underneath your eye, right where you get those dark circles, and to the corners of your eyes as well. This area where your applying should be about the size of a quarter. You can also apply a little bit to the tops of your cheek bones and the outer part of your eye a little for an quick face lift. Next use a face sponge or your fingers also work great to blend it in. When you apply your foundation be careful not to apply to much around these areas since their already covered. Just focus on blending it all in around the edges of where you applied it. Just dab with your fingers.

I hope you like this easy make up tip to help you look glowing to your next event. Have a happy Friday everyone :)
