We listed several benefits of Argan oil and why exactly its great for your tresses. In this part of this little hair mini series we will show you how easy it is to make your own Argan oil hair mask at home. It’s so easy even a cave woman could do it…

First, here is a very short shopping list of ingredients that you will need in order to make the mask:

Argan Oil (4 tsp)
Honey (2 tsp)
Peppermint Essential Oil (3 drops)
Apple Cider Vinegar (2 tsp)
Epsom Salt ( 2 tsp)
Coconut Oil (4 tsp)

Okay, now that you have all the ingredients it is time to create the mask. As you noticed next to each item we listed how much of each ingredient you would need to complete the mask. In a small bottle combine all of the ingredients and then shake vigorously to blend them together. Run hot water from a facet and place bottle under the spout for 20 seconds to encourage the ingredients to blend even more.

When you are ready to apply your homemade product focus placing the bottled oil on your roots as well as ends. Wrap hair in saran wrap or place in a plastic shower cap and allow the oil to sit on the hair for half an hour. Once 30 minutes is up, rinse hair thoroughly and the process is complete.

We are surrounded with imagery of women who walk red carpets, runways or grace our television sets with perfect hair, makeup and physiques. To come as close as possible to this ideal look many women will take part in various fad diets. How safe are such diets when it comes to having healthy tresses?

In this article we will briefly explore the effects of low fat dieting. When it comes to having gorgeous hair eating properly is everything, what you eat will definitely reflect in the health of your locks. Hair is made up of keratin which is protein and being deficient in protein can lead to weaker locks as well as hair thinning. Opt for a protein rich diet including foods such as yogurt, eggs and fish. A diet rich in protein can result in hair becoming longer and thicker.

American Music Awards 2014 Fashion Trend: Shimmery Couture

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 24, 2014November 24, 2014Leave a Comment

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?

Zendaya Coleman came to yesterday’s American Music Awards with her mane as the main attraction! Coleman’s voluminous sassy waves were a very fresh look for the singer. We are used to seeing Zendaya with super sleek locks so this change was differently a transformation which we absolutely loved.

Zendaya’s hair for days waves is our Hair of the Week pick…do you agree?

Garcelle Beauvais Attends American Music Awards 2014

Arianne Suggs November 24, 2014November 24, 2014Leave a Comment

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.
