Extend Your Hair Color

extend your hair color

Hair Quickie: Besides deep conditioning your hair once a week after coloring your hair you can help extend your color even while you are still at the salon. Tell your hair stylist that you would like them to add a semi-permanent hair glaze or gloss at the time of coloring. This added treatment will seal your hair’s cuticle as well as extend your hair’s color in a safe manner.

Change Parts to Prevent Uneven Hair Color Fading

change parts to prevent uneven hair color fading

Hair Quickie: All this week we have been dishing out tips to help all our girls with the color-treated hair. One simple tip to keep in mind is to change up where you part your hair. Do not keep your locks parted in the same place continuously. By switching things up you help prevent uneven fading since different sections are exposed.

Hair Coloring and Hot Oil Treatments

Hair Coloring and Hot Oil Treatments

Most likely if you have changed your hair color it is your desire to keep your new tint looking rich and luxurious. There are some treatments that will help the color last and others will dull or strip it. Hot oil treatments are something that you will want to limit or use with caution to maintain vibrancy.

Hot oil treatments are known to contain high levels of acidity such as if you perform a treatment with olive oil. The oil will strip the color and there goes your gorgeous new shade. Nevertheless, do not despair you can still perform hot oil treatments even after taking a hair color leap. To do so, you will need to look for a product that has been specifically formulated for color-treated hair in order to maintain your dye job.

curlBOX Makes Holiday Glam a No-Brainer with “Miracle Multitasker” Box

curlBOX Makes Holiday Glam a no brainer

This month, curlBOX makes getting glam for holiday festivities a no-brainer with the “Miracle Multitaskers” Box. December’s gauntlet of office parties, family gatherings, marathon shopping sessions and seasonal travel leave little time for lengthy hairstyling sessions. Yet, harsh winter weather means hair needs more pampering than ever. Stocked with products that are designed to quickly deliver pretty styles while repairing and nurturing the hair, the “Miracle Multitaskers” Box offers options from top brands for fast, festive looks.

“It’s the season of invitations and appearances, and no one has time to lock themselves in the bathroom for hours to style their hair,” says Myleik Teele, CEO of curlBOX. “I’m all about getting fab in a flash and this is the box I’m using to help me make the rounds this holiday season.” In addition to working fast, many of the products in this box are loaded with super-efficient moisturizers which pamper and protect hair from the drier air, frigid winds and friction from winter wraps.

curlBOX subscribers will receive in the December box:

•   Either Ouidad Superfruit Renewal Clarifying Cream Shampoo, a creamy, lush sulfate-free shampoo that hydrates with açaí, blueberry, cranberry, papaya and pomegranate acids plus removes heavy product buildup; or Ouidad Curl Defining Styling Souffle, a styler that instantly melts into the hair and contains natural emollients like avocado, coconut, mafura butter and Kalahari melon seed oil; 

   Straight From Eden Plant Derived Repairing Oil, a lightweight oil ideal for those flat ironing hair that not only adds shine but helps repair hair from damage with its plant-derived fusion of coconut, olive and avocado oils;

•   Straight From Eden Detangling Leave-In Conditioner, a conditioning spray featuring coconut, olive and avocado oils that does double duty by acting as a detangler before shampooing or as a leave-in after shampooing;  

•   Elasta QP Olive Oil and Mango Butter Leave-In Conditioner, a nourishing intensive conditioner that’s thick enough to stand in for a styler when twisting or braiding hair;

•   Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper Original, an innovative serum that’s applied to sopping post-shampoo curls to lock in curls exactly as they appear when wet for quick air drying or diffusing; and

•   Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper Gel, the version of the Original Curl Keeper ideal for kinkier coils.

curlBOX invites its 208, Instagram followers; 9,750 Facebook fans and 17,900 Twitter followers to show off their sparkle while they make the rounds this holiday via #DecembercurlBOX. To request an interview with Myleik Teele or for more information on curlBOX, please contact kendolyn@curlbox.com.

Valentino’s AW14 Hair Inspiration

Valentino’s AW14 collection Hair

Hair went to all time low (in a good way of course) for the Valentino autumn/winter collection for 2014. Hair was gathered into low ponytails then fashioned into a modern plait by using elastics. This simple addition gave the tails a fresh, youthful vibe.
