Silky Smooth

I love trying new products all the time! My husband is constantly complaining that I have way too much in the shower. He tells me I'm a product hoarder. I like to think of it as research for my career! I mean it really is!! Well two Fridays ago I went to the supply house for hair color and at the check out there were some new It's A Ten products. Now if you haven't tried It's A Ten yet, you are missing out! It started off as a great leave in conditioner product and now they have much more. Every product I have tried from them I have loved so when I saw a new purple bottle, I knew I had to try it! It's called Silk Express and it does just that... It helps make your smooth, silky and soft! It's amazing stuff.

I brought it into the salon on Saturday and had all the other girls use it. They were just as obsessed as I was! There were some ladies I used it on and didn't even use my flat iron! (Side note- I did use a round brush! If you have texture in your hair, you will still have to use a hot iron to get it smooth- it's not magic!) I have been using the miracle silk trio; shampoo, conditioner and the smoothing balm for 2 weeks now and my hair feels amazing! You definitely need to try it! The best part is this trio is on sale for the rest of February for only $40! YES all 3 for $40!! You better come in and get em before they're gone!  =)

Want Long Hair?

I have been getting asked quite a bit lately on how to make your hair grow. There a few things that COULD help but are not guaranteed. One of them is prenatal vitamins. (No, they will not make you get pregnant if you take them!) There is also a vitamin that is designed for hair, skin and nails. It's called Biotin. You can get it from any supermarket in the vitamin aisle. No prescription here. The only thing with Biotin is you have to take one pill, three times a day. I have a hard time remembering to take one, once a day, so three times is pretty hard to remember! If you are serious about growing your hair long, and want to do it faster, try it. It could help!

Another thing that you should know is that getting your hair cut once a month or often, will NOT help it grow. This is a myth! If your ends are horrible, you can trim those up, but getting your hair cut all the time basically does the opposite of growing it. Your hair only grows 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch a month. That's not a lot. So as much as I hate to say it, if you are wanting to grow your hair long, don't come to see me as much! I'll miss you, but we will get you that long hair that you are wanting!!

Now make sure you are using professional products to ensure that your hair will stay in great shape since you won't be coming in to see me as often!

On a side note... Happy happy lovey dovey day to y'all! I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Uphair Twist

I absolutely love doing my hair so it looks like I've spent quite some time on it, but I really haven't. This updo took me maybe 10-15 minutes to do all together. It's a great style that you can wear running errands or going to a formal event.

 
Watch how I did it here:
