Healthy Hair Tips: Should Conditioner Only Be Used On the Ends?

Arianne Suggs January 26, 2017January 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Hair Quickie: Should Conditioner Only Be Used On the Ends Of Strands? That is a common hair question because for many years hair experts have heralded that opinion far and wide. However, is that truly the best method for keeping tresses well-nourished? Ignore the roots and focus on mainly the tips? There are plenty of healthy hair tips out there and we hope that you will keep this particular one in this feature in mind. Conditioner was made to be applied from roots to tips. See short and sweet.

Healthy Hair Tips: Should Conditioner Only Be Used On the Ends?

The origin of the whole conditioner only being worked into the ends theory came about due to developing a method for those with thinner hair. Conditioner tends to weigh strands down. As a result those with strands that are thin can experience limp looking tresses. If you have ever over greased your hair you probably have experienced this look.

Nevertheless, we are all blessed with various textures and that’s what makes the world go round. Therefore, there are some healthy hair tips that will do marvelous things for some and prove to be disastrous for others.

Yet, here is the kicker, rather you have thin or thicker hair this conditioner method does not work. By only applying conditioner mainly at the ends you are not giving your hair the strength it needs. When hair is wet it is at its weakest point. Science has shown that strands can even stretch up to 30% more which can make them susceptible to breakage.

Therefore, this means hair is fragile and requires extra support that conditioner can provide. Make sure to work your conditioner in from the roots to the tips. If you have thinner hair opt for a light formula conditioner. By ensuring the entire strand is well-conditioned your overall head of hair will be stronger and healthier.

High Ponytail Hairstyles: Blac Chyna ‘Raises’ The Bar

Arianne Suggs January 19, 2017January 19, 2017Leave a Comment

This season strands are going to new heights! Want to be on trend? Then learn to aim higher darling. Go for the hair gold by rocking high ponytail hairstyles. We spied Blac Chyna taking things up a bit and the result was absolutely stunning.

High Ponytail Hairstyles: Blac Chyna ‘Raises’ The Bar

Hair shouldn’t be a headache. High Ponytail Hairstyles are easy hair looks that can command attention effortlessly. Raise a hand if you remember Queen Bey‘s high ponytail Met Gala hairstyle. Her fierce tail turned heads even though in essence it was a simplistic and incomplex hairdo.

Blac Chyna’s ponytail was created using virgin hair from Kendras Boutique. The boutique sells not only extensions but also hair products and styling tools such as flat irons too. Nevertheless, Blac Chyna switched things up from her signature raven tone locks and opted for a fab platinum blonde shade. Moreover, Chyna added texture to her look by incorporating loose waves. Furthermore, the tail received an extra dose of chic by wrapping a few strands around all elastics so that they are hidden.

Beauty Notes: Blac Chyna’s makeup is a perfect look for spring. Makeup artist Jolisa Jackson aka Jo, created a look that incorporated delicious peachy as well as pink hues. The color peach is a subtle tone that denotes demureness, innocence and purity. Moreover, pink is romantic, feminine, playful and considered the tint of love due to being associated with red and white. Nevertheless, since most think of spring as being a time of renewal, vitality, pureness, hope and love such a beauty look is very fitting.

Latest Hair Trends: Balmain Spring 2017 Slick Wet Hairstyle

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 18, 2017January 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Having your spring wardrobe together is one thing, but ensuring your hair is just as on point is quite another. The 2017 spring designer runway shows hair looks were full of innovation as well as reincarnated classics. What is one of the latest hair trends for 2017? Think getting out of a pool while looking all sorts of fabulous. That is very much the vibe of the Balmain Spring 2017 Slick Wet Hairstyle.

Latest Hair Trends: Balmain Spring 2017 Slick Wet Hairstyle

Yes, slick hair can be chic and more importantly very alluring. C’mon don’t you want onlookers to be obsessed with you from head-to-toe? The Balmain Spring 2017 Slick Wet Hairstyle is sexy without looking like you are trying to hard. Moreover, it is universally pleasing because it can be created on various hair lengths. Besides the catwalk several celebrities have already given the wet hairstyle a spin. We immediately think of Teyana Taylor (long hair) at the Soul Train awards as well as actress Ruth Negga (short hair) when she attended the Golden Globes.

Nevertheless, this look is nothing new even though it has a very modern feel. Hairstylist Sam McKnight says that the look is actually inspired by the 80’s. Eighties photography by Helmut Newton and Peter Linbergh provided the inspiration for the swimming pool-esqe style.

How was the hairstyle created? If you are natural then most likely you already have all the items you need in your hair arsenal. Stylists used an almost mad hair scientist mixture of gels, hair oils, mousse and creams in order to make hair obey as well as create the “wet” look.

Balmain never disappoints in its fashions or in the hair department. Therefore, take a page out of Balmain’s stylish book and rock one of the latest hair trends!

Makeup Application Tip: Keep Things Less Messy With Plastic Spoon

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 16, 2017January 16, 2017Leave a Comment

Nowadays it seems like everyone is an expert makeup artist. We see videos of these gifted individuals on Youtube as well as all over SM. Even eight year olds have mastered contouring and the ultimate beat face. However, what about the rest of us? How can someone who hasn’t been blessed with steady hands beat the system? Well, there are several unconventional beauty methods that can be utilized in order to make your makeup application look just like Bey, flawless! Today, we are sharing the first of many, the plastic spoon.

Makeup Application Tip: Keep Things Less Messy With Plastic Spoon

Mascara can do wonders for your eyes but can get a little messy. Ever tried applying mascara to your bottom row of hairs? One issue that girls always talk about is the raccoon effect. Sometimes in an attempt to get those tiny hairs to submit and curl, application can lead to mascara transferring to skin under your eyes.

To prevent this beauty issue try using a plastic spoon during your next makeup application. Turn the spoon over so that the concave part will be facing your skin. Next, gently slide the spoon under your bottom lashes. Use the spoon as a shield then apply your mascara to your bottom lashes without getting on your face. Be careful not to go so high with the spoon that you risk poking an eye.

Nevertheless, with this simple trick you will be able to achieve a very clean, professional look. Moreover, you will also create lower lashes with more volume and fullness due to being able to apply a thicker coat of formula. Have fun ladies and here’s to cleaner makeup!
