Is It Spring Yet?

As we anxiously await the arrival of spring on the west coast, let's get prepared!  There are many changes taking place in the hair and nail world and we need to uncover all of them one by one.
Have you noticed all the retro hairstyles on the runways and red carpets? They haven't gone unnoticed by us and we are in love!  There are quite a few 30's and 40's styles being worn by today's celebs.  Our favorite is the super glamorous style like Bette Davis wore in "All about Eve."  The fabulous brushed out waves have been spotted all over.

To create the soft waves curl your hair using a 1" iron, making sure to protect your hair. Chi Infra Texture would work great for protection and to hold the style without being tacky or hard.  Re-spray the curls and brush out your hair creating a severe part where you prefer. 

Braided headband

Braids and headbands are two of the biggest hair trends right now, so combining them is the next logical step.  If you need a style that keeps your hair back but doesn’t give you a horrible headache, this is the look for you.

Follow the steps below to get this gorgeous boho style

Make two parts, one on each side of the head near the ear.  Comb the remaining hair backwards and put into a ponytail.

Take the right side of the hair and braid, lifting us and around the head.

Wrap a hair tie on the end of the right side.  Repeat on the left side.

Lift both braids and wrap around your head, positioning them towards the front.

Secure both braids along the bottom of the head with a bobby pin. Release the remaining hair in back.

If you are unable to successfully get braids in place, you might consider trying “Braidies” from the Tony Tail Company.

COLORS MAKE A FASHION STATEMENT

WOMEN ARE GENERALLY DRAWN TO THE COLORS THAT FLATTER THEIR FIGURE AND COMPLEXION. YOUR FAVORITE COLOR DOESN’T ALWAYS APPEAR IN YOUR WARDROBE IF IT DOESN’T DO A THING FOR YOU. IF YOU’RE THE MAJORITY, THE COLOR YOU MOST OFTEN CHOOSE TO WEAR IS THE IMAGE YOU WANT TO REFLECT, AND THE COLOR MAKES YOU LOOK AND FEEL GOOD.
LET’S HAVE FUN! FIND OUT WHAT FASHION STATEMENT YOU’RE MAKING WITH THE COLORS YOU WEAR ON AN EVERYDAY BASIS—AND WHAT THE COLOR OF YOUR CLOTHING SAYS ABOUT YOUR PERSONALITY.
BLACK-CONSERVATIVE YET SEXY, YOU KNOW THAT BLACK IS VERSATILE. WEARING BLACK CLOTHING MAKES YOU APPEAR THINNER, GIVING YOUR SELF-ESTEEM A TURBO-BOOST.
PINK- TRADITIONAL AND CHARMING, PINK IS FEMININE ALL THE WAY. A PINK AND BLACK COMBO IS A TRENDY TWOSOME FOR WOMEN WHO LIKE TO ADD MYSTERY TO THEIR OTHERWISE GIRLY IMAGE.
RED-BOLD AND VIBRANT, YOU LIKE TO BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. RED PORTRAYS THE ADVENTUROUS SIDE OF YOU THAT’S UNDENIABLE.
BLUE- FUN LOVING AND FREE, BLUE CLOTHING ATTRACTS INDEPENDENT WOMEN WHO ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THEIR INNER SELVES AND ACHIEVEMENTS.
ORANGE-EXTROVERTED AND GUTSY, ORANGE MEANS YOU LIKE TO STAND OUT IN THE CROWD. NEVER TAKING LIFE FOR GRANTED, YOU ENJOY NEW CHALLENGES AND HAVE A TENDENCY TO COME OUT ON TOP.
YELLOW-ALWAYS THE OPTIMIST, YOU’RE ATHLETIC AND OUTDOORSY. YELLOW REFLECTS A VIBRANT PERSONALITY AND GREAT INTUITION.
WHITE-THOSE WHO FAVOR WHITE PREFER “SAFE” COLORS FOR A PERFECT MATCH. WHITE CAN BE A GREAT ACCENT FOR A DEEP DARK TAN, ADDING SEX-APPEAL TO THE “COLORLESS” COLOR.
GREEN-IF YOU’RE HOT ON GREEN YOU’RE A DOWN-TO-EARTH, NATURAL BEAUTY. WHILE SOMEWHAT STUBBORN, YOU’RE STILL “THE GIRL NEXT DOOR” WHO LIKES TO HAVE FUN.
