100 years ago in Paris, the world expo showcased a conditioner for mustaches and beards to make them softer. It was soon followed up by conditioners for hair.
Your hair has probably been through a lot over the last few weeks. Lots of party hair, entertaining, and extra stress on the hair can catch up with you... Tonight would be a good night to get your hair back into shape and prepare it for that last night of the year!
Protein conditioners which are often called reconstructors should be used only if suggested by your hairdresser. They are protein based which means if used incorrectly, can cause the hair to be brittle and can cause breakage. They should not be left in for more than 10 minutes and never ever with heat.
To be safe, use a moisture based conditioner. Shampoo your hair tonight, towel dry. Add a deep conditioner, and don't rinse out. Don't be tempted to put a pony tail holder in your hair. Hair is in it's most delicate state when it's wet. You will put stress on the hair when it is in it's most elastic state and when it drys it can break.
The easiest way to give hair a deep conditioning treatment at home is to sleep in it. I put two pillow cases on my pillow, but you could also use a shower cap if that's comfortable for you. Sleep in the conditioner, when you wake up in the morning, just rinse it out in the shower and your hair will feel amazing! Your hair will have more shine, it will hold a style longer due to it's balanced moisture and it's a great way to start the new year!

In keeping with my resolution to laugh more this year, I can't stop watching Karmin's videos. I'm sure all of the youngin's are saying this is so last week and those older than I are saying this isn't exactly their cup of tea. Regardless, I'm obsessed!
Karmin is a music duo made up of Nick Noonan and Amy Heidemann. They are the cutest engaged couple if you've seen them interviewed. They have original music, but I'm loving all of their covers. Amazing voices, they don't take themselves seriously and they have the best sense of humor. Who doesn't like a pretty white girl who can rap??? Oh, and I love her hair!

For years I have signed off on cards and gifts from the "French Hens" as a play on the 3 french hens in the carol 12 days of Christmas.
I read this recently about the carol:
From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. It is said that it may have been written in code to teach the young about their religion... I love that the Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love-
-The partridge in a pear tree was God
-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.
-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.-
-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.
-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.
-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.
-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.
-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.
-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.
-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.
-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.
