Hair Quickie: Tying your hair back super tight could eventually run you the risk of developing hair loss. Pulling your tresses back tightly can train your locks to grow scarily close to the surface of your scalp. Over time if this continues, your hairs can grow so close to the surface that they lose their grip in the skin and fall out. Don’t get tied down, keep things a little more loose when you can.
We love hair that is creative and fresh! In lieu of Project Runway’s new season debut (yup we can’t wait either!) we decided to flashback to the spring/summer 2014 fashion show. If you have ever wanted to try a bang without all the commitment then this hairstyle is perfection.
The reverse ponytail sent hair greatness chills up our collective spines. To this day we still adore this modern fresh take on a classic hairstyle. A ponytail that doubles as a bang? Argh, we just died and went to hair heaven!
Not since the “Miss Clairol” home hair color kit debuted in 1956, has a company revolutionized the industry like startup eSalon.com – by delivering custom, salon color to a client’s door, for less than they would tip a colorist!
Other brands can use all the adjectives in the world to describe their mass-produced, boxed color. They’re still mass produced. Each bottle of eSalon pigment, unlike pre-mixed box brands, is individually blended for clients based on their personal hair profile. Clients are asked about gray percentage, skin tone, eye color, color history, and more, to create the most flattering shade.
eSalon’s color crew of experts analyse clients’ details and create custom formulations from an unlimited number of color options—which clients are guaranteed to love. Their quality hair color and proprietary mixing technology ensure a perfect match every time. The color is bottled, labeled with the client’s name (because it’s made for them and no one else), and delivered within days.
eSalon was founded in 2010 by Francisco Gimenez, visionary e-commerce entrepreneur, and is backed by Tamim Mourad, Cory Rosenberg and Omar Mourad. They were the team behind PriceGrabber.com, the pioneer price-comparison site acquired by Experian in 2005. The group partnered with Estelle Baumhauer, international master colorist and now eSalon’s Color Director, to develop the line.
Baumhauer, who has over 20 years’ experience at prestige salons around the world, brings an artistic perspective and a superb sense of fashion to her work. “It is exciting for me to make great professional color available to all women, not just to women of means,” Baumhauer adds.
Experiencing phenomenal growth since its creation four years ago, eSalon has shipped nearly one million hair color applications, and expanded into Canada and the United Kingdom. “Until now a woman’s only options were to spend $100 or more in a salon, or face endless aisles of mediocre drugstore color. We’ve turned the color market on its head and are excited about our continued success and confirmation of our vision,” Gimenez said.
eSalon has gained national attention from leading publications, including Entrepreneur, Wall Street Journal, Good Housekeeping and Lucky; won “Best of the Web” by InStyle and Total Beauty’s Readers’ Choice Award for Best Hair Color in 2013 and 2014.
New hair alert ladies! Okay, so she is a new mom and now CiCi has a new hairdo to go along with the next chapter of her life. Ciara has been spotted rocking dreads and even took to her social media to show her tresses off. Ciara made a Facebook post showcasing her beautiful smile and locks with the caption, “So many reasons 2 smile:).”
Ciara is definitely having a great year, so fabulous people the time to weigh-in has come. Do you think this hairstyle is a good look for Ciara or does it need to be changed ASAP? Let us know, we’re always tweeting.
We have been spotting this fab hairstyle a lot lately on the streets. Fashionistas are sporting long, thin French braids that even go beyond waist length. This style is great for protection and perfect for on-the-go ladies looking for an easy to maintain style.
Pretty Keri Hilson rocked her version of the look and even showed it off on the Gram. Hilson’s braids added a little more oomph to this hair trend by incorporating purple tips. We absolutely love it, it’s a very subtle addition that allows you to showcase your wild side.
One common mistake many women make when relaxing their hair is not removing the chemicals from their tresses properly. Letting such harsh elements remain in and on your locks could result in damage. After chemically treating your hair you must neutralize it to stop the process from continuing.
It is very important to remove all of the relaxer from your locks to avoid causing hair breakage. Pay special attention to the neck and nape areas. How often should you wait to perform your next perm treatment? Unless you have a shorter hair length you should wait between 6-12 weeks before receiving your next relaxer.
When most people think of sun damage the first thing that may come to mind is their skin. However, it is not just your skin you need to be worried about when it comes down to the sun’s harmful rays. The sun literally sucks the moisture out of our hair like a straw in a soda pop can.
Therefore, after prolonged exposure your tresses can begin to look like a character straight out of the Wizard of Oz… straw. To help your locks maintain moisture and lustrous shine you need to wear or use materials to shield them. Hats, scarves and umbrellas are great stylish accessories to get this task done. Also, by styling your hair in a braid or bun can help to protect delicate ends from getting damaged.
Summer Hair Inspiration: Rihanna never goes wrong in the hair or personal style department. Whether loose or curly RiRi shows that a chignon can be flirty and fun!
Our girl Kelly has had short hair, long hair, curly hair and even rocked a mean Afro. The gorgeous singer takes the cake this week due to the hairstyle she wore to the event headlined by basketball superstar, Carmelo Anthony Kehinde Wiley Dinner hosted by Grey Goose on Thursday, July 16.
Rowland’s deep waves reminded us of Egyptian queens and goddesses. The style is elegant, chic with a hint of sassy allurement. Kelly was all smiles for the dinner and posed it out with Carmelo as well as Tina Knowles. What do you think of Kelly’s hair look, would you wear it?
