Benefits of Argan Oil Part One

benefits of argan oil part one

Hair is often referred to as being a woman’s crown of beauty. However, as many can testify, growing hair is not always as simple as clicking your red ruby shoes together. There is no magical Wiz waiting at the end of a golden road that can grant you a great head of hair. Only excellent maintenance and attention to haircare will give you longer and voluminous hair that you crave.

In recent years Argan oil has been praised for its many benefits, especially when it comes to hair growth. Here are just a few to consider:

  • Contains properties that can help repair split ends
  • Rich with Vitamin E which encourages hair growth
  • Has fatty acids and nutrients that can strengthen and nourish hair as well as skin

Hair growth results when the scalp as well as ends of locks are well taken of and protected. Perform this powerful combination on your strands by incorporating the use of argan and you will see results. Are you a fan of all natural products when it comes to haircare? Excellent, so are we! Be sure to check out our following post on how to create your very own argan oil hair mask in the comfort of your home.

American Music Awards 2014 Fashion Trend: Shimmery Couture

Zendaya Coleman American Music Awards

We noticed a few trends on the red carpet for this year’s American Music Awards, but one trend stood out and seemed to match the event’s glitzy vibe. The AMAs red carpet at Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles, was raided with shimmery couture looks that were full of Hollywood razzle dazzle. Singer/actresses Zendaya Coleman and Jordin Sparks both showed off daring, sparkling attire as well as extra skin.

Spark’s bronzed gown included a plunging neckline while Zendaya’s over-sized gold ensemble (pants and trench are Georgine Spring 2015) revealed a blue midriff baring top. The looks definitely grabbed the attention of onlookers and the event’s television viewers. What do you think of shimmery couture, is it a “Do” or a “Don’t?

Garcelle Beauvais Attends American Music Awards 2014

Garcelle Beauvais American Music Awards 2014

The ageless and forever stunningly gorgeous Garcelle Beauvais shut down the red carpet in a snug red-hot gown accompanied with metallic heels. We also peeped a cool super dark manicure being worn by the stylish actress. Guess it’s time to bring out the goth in the nail department!

Hair Notes: We are fanatics for wavy locks and Beauvais’ shoulder-length tresses looked beautiful. Get the look by fashioning braids on damp hair after shampooing and conditioning. Once completely dry, carefully undo the braids and finger comb to style your wavy look. Add shine by spritzing your strands with a light hair oil.
