Locks

I have assisted many people in their decision making process when it came to donating  their hair to organizations that use the hair for wigs and hairpieces.  I often have to burst the bubble of someone who has grown their hair for months only to discover that their previously colored or layered hair won't be used by these organizations.  Most argue their way through this realization, not ready to accept this information.  My final advice is to send it in regardless because it is really about the act of kindness and generosity that changes lives.  The recent press on these donations has brought up interesting conversation...

Finger Waves

In honor of The Great Gatsby, I thought I'd give the history of finger waves.  In the 1920's, flappers cut their hair short in a bob style.  A bit of rebellion for the time.  To soften the hard lines of the cropped cut, finger waves became popular.   They became commonplace once the movie stars of the day wore them on film.  Finger waves are reintroduced through the years, but they always bring to mind the distinct time period they were the most popular, the roaring 20's...

Over one year ago, I posted my excitement for the soon to be released The Great Gatsby!  ​I'm looking forward to the movie, the hair, the accessories and clothes.  Tiffany & Co.  jewelry and accessories were worn in the movie, and the collection is Jazz Age Glamour.    This has to be the most extraordinary head piece I have ever seen!

Sunless Tan

It's self tanning season!  Every year I put new self tanners to the test...  I've been using Jergens Natural Glow, which I've tried in the past.  The new formula fortunately has none of that awful self tanner odor!  I would use it for that reason alone, but I like that it dries quickly and the color is great...  I am now searching for the best higher-end self tanners.  Stay tuned!  ​
