Last month, for the first time, I colored my own hair….It came out great and I was like…Wow! I can do this! Coincidently a week later, I was introduced to Roots Only. Now, I can’t wait to do my hair again and give it a try. It’s a coloring applicator that gets the job done with no mess in under 5 minutes. Yes…that’s what I hear! It’s only $7.99, is reusable and can be purchased online. Visit the Roots Only site and watch the video…you gotta’ love this! www.rootsonly.com
This is a brand new addition to the Creative Professional Hair Tools brush line and I am so glad that I got to be one of the first to try it. The Wet/Dry Brush works great on both wet & dry hair and can be used every day. It’s a perfect brush for detangling extensions, weaves, wigs and all types of hair. I immediately put one in my gym bag and it’s great for spa days too. The bristles have coated tips that glide through hair easily. It will not rip hair or irritate your scalp. www.creativehairtools.com .

Not all combs are created equally! You may not realize how damaging combs can be to your hair. Burrs and jagged seams, improper positioning of teeth and other inadequacies can break and damage healthy hair causing split ends, dullness and all around hair havoc!
I especially love the hand-made Tortoise combs from Creative Professional Hair Tools! Each is hand made from a single sheet of Italian cellulose acetate. They are comfortable in your hand, there are no burrs and the teeth are gently rounded. The prices range from $10.90 – $13.90. Stylist can enter promo code “creativepro” at checkout for a professional discount. www.creativehairtools.com
One of the most famous brands in the clothing industry, Ed Hardy, is now in the beauty industry! Inspired by tattoo art designs, there are brushes, combs, blow dryers, flat irons, hair accessories & more. The Rose Teasing Brush is one of my “Fave” Ed Hardy styling tool products. It’s got 3 rows of bristles and a sectioning tail for a perfect tease every time. I love that it is easy to grip and I feel so cool when I use it! www.folica.com
Everyone knows that I am a fan of Celebrity stylist, Teddy Charles (check out my Face Book page
pictures for a photo of me & Teddy from a hair show that we judged!)
Teddy used the new Remington T-Studio Pearl Ceramic Styling Wand to create the nautical-inspired “Yacht Knot” hair look that accompanied the breezy, ethereal runway collection for Luca Luca S/S 2011. www.ulta.com
The hottest hairstyle this season is the braid! Today’s braid is an updated version of the classic that’s perfect for a long day at the office or even a night out on the town.
Women’s Health magazine July/August issue (on newsstands now) shows a version that’s perfect for keeping hair off your face or for that dreaded “growing out your bangs” period.
Headband Braid
1) Make a horizontal line two inches back from your hairline and separate that front section of hair. Leave the rest loose.
2) Starting at the left side of the head, just above your ear, French braid until you reach your right ear.
3) Secure the braid with an elastic and tuck the ends behind your right ear. Curl the rest of your hair with a curling iron.
The Chronic Tonic. I love that name! It’s a plant infused shampoo and conditioning system that cleanses and fortifies nasty weather beaten hair. It’s lightweight and adds shine and volume. The Tonic line also includes Luster Tonic & Threesome Tonic. And guys…check out the gorgeous bikini clad gals on the website. You can meet the Tonic team and place an order there too! You’ll get free shipping if you spend over $25. tonicshop.com
For hair threading at home you have got to try the Twist-n-Roll Tweezers by Lindo®. You just bend it into an n shape, place the coil against your skin and twist the handles outwards. The coils will roll slowly upward against your skin and the hair will gently be removed. Really … its that simple! You can use it on your upper lip, chin, cheeks, neck, forehead and other places that need it. This was a highlight of the Premiere Orlando show this week! Grace Zhoul had fun demonstrating it and the attendees were buying them up like crazy! You will be seeing and hearing more about this and other fab products from Lindo. I am checking out their SwirliDo Hair Ties that I picked up at the show also so stay tuned for a report on these fun hair ties.
The Silence HP hair dryers grabbed my attention earlier this week at the Premiere Beauty Show in Florida. This dryer is fab! I snatched one up. I got the Ionic model. I used it this morning. It operates silently. I actually listened to the morning news while drying my hair! It has a concentrated air flow which is great for styling. The cord is extra long at 10 feet. It’s energy efficient with a lifetime motor warranty. I learned that it is made in the US and is the only professional hair dryer made here. I am taking it to my salon next week to turn the stylists there on to it. They NEED to have these. How great it would be to visit the salon without hearing the stylist talking over the numerous hair dryers! The Silence HP was recently featured on the Discovery Channel!
