You Don't Have to Weather a Bad Hair Day!

Avoid having to weather a bad hair day by getting a bull semen mask. Yes, I said it a Bull Semen Hair Mask, straight from the haute salons in Europe.  I did some research on Bull Semen and unlike any other of it's kind, it is potent, high in protein and penetrates the hair follicle and hair cuticle.  A Bull Semen Mask promises shiny, healthy and strong hair.  The jury is still out on that, but some clients have asked for it.  In the Northeast we have weather beaten, dry hair and dry heat that wreaks havoc on our tresses.  

This bull can cure weather beaten hair? 


I was compelled to research further and was led to www.forangus.com a website dedicated to the bovine sires.  You are able to purchase 1/2 milliliter  "straws" of bull semen which is approximately 1 teaspoon. The average straw ranges in price from $15 to $30 - depending on the lifestyle of the sire.  The bull semen is shipped refrigerated and must be refrigerated until used.   You could try this mask at home!

How far would you go for healthy hair?


The bull semen mask can be mixed with argan oil, applied to freshly washed hair and works best under a heated dryer for 45 minutes.  This concoction promises to be odorless - I hope! 

There is no real way to know if this exotic hair mask works unless it is tested and that is what we intend to do.  If this mask renders gorgeous hair, many will not care what is in it.  It sounds gross, but I will update and post pictures of the end result. 

How far would you go to have gorgeous and healthy hair?  We'd love to hear your opinion.

Give Your Hair A Work Out And Get Healthy Hair

We workout our body - so why not workout our hair?  How does one do that?  A scalp massage either with or without oil.  You can do it yourself or ask a friend to assist.  The key is to massage the scalp and promote circulation to the hair follicles which will then aid in producing healthy hair.

I find that women with hair loss tend to avoid touching their scalp in fear of loosing more hair, but this will only lead to more hair loss. Scalp massage works for all hair textures from fine, thinning to ethnic hair.  I can not stress enough how important a scalp massage is for everyone!

The above video explains the process and benefit.  You can massage your head with essential oils or salon brand oil.   If the oil is too heavy and your hair is oily, massage without oil.  A scalp that moves is the best environment for hair growth vs. one that is hard to manipulate.  An added benefit is the release of tension so many of us hold in our heads.

Remember consistency is key and you should massage your scalp at least 2 to 3 times per week and overtime your hair and scalp will benefit. An average of between 1/4" to 1/2" hair growth can occur per month and you could possibly double the growth.  

Don't forget to give a good massage to your hair when shampooing - every bit helps.  We welcome your comments and feedback.

No Heat Hairstyling - Hair Extensions and Natural Hair

Heating tools such as flat irons and curl irons do the most damage to hair extensions and natural hair - throw them away.  For decades women relied on simple techniques for hair styling such as pin curls, velcro rollers, roller sets, hair wraps and twisting hair to create glamorous looks.  

Throw away your flat irons which strip your hair cuticle leaving hair dry and void of shine.  Below are simple techniques to get the same hairstyles and keep your hair and/or hair extensions healthy.  Your hair is intended to last you a lifetime - so here it goes.

THE ROLLER SETwill keep moisture in your hair and your hair will thank you for it.  Especially if you have invested in hair extensions which can damage easier than your own hair.

1) For fine and less frizzy hair; set hair dry in velcro rollers.  Velcro rollers will  add volume to your hair, promote shine and smooth the hair.  

2) For more dense hair textures and curly hair; wet set in hair rollers and set under an overhead dryer until the hair is 100% dry. Invest in an affordable overhead dryer that can be set on a table.   I find a wet roller set under a dryer the best for newly relaxed hair.  Avoid pulling and flat ironing after a hair relaxer.

Dry Set On Fine Hair


Wet Set on Thick, Curly or Relaxed Hair


IT'S A WRAP - THE HAIR WRAP
Wise women have used this technique for centuries because it works.  Hair is wrapped around the head in one direction (switch directions every so often) and this technique uses the shape of the head to add some volume and keep the hair smooth and shiny!  Widely used on relaxed hair, but great for all hair textures.

Hair is pinned in placed and covered with a scarf or paper mesh.  The longer the hair wrap sets - the smoother the hair.



PIN UP GIRL - PIN CURLS

Pin curls have been used for ages and were very popular in the 1930's and 1940's.  Glamorous vintage styles have made a comeback and pin curls are so simple to create.  Gather sections of hair, the smaller the section the tighter the curl, and spiral the hair around your fingers pin in place.  You can get very creative with this one - a long stem pin curl emphasizes the curl at the end of the hair which achieves a looser curl.  

Let set while your getting ready and zap with a blow dryer to set.



PUT A SOCK IN IT
I have used this technique at my salon for years and am so happy it has returned.  Place a ponytail at the top of your head and roll a tube sock into your hair (cut toe portion off the sock).  This technique is best done on damp hair - it does have to set overnight or at least 3 to 4 hours depending on the thickness of your hair.  The end result is a loose beachy wave.  Use a bit of light hair gel for setting, but not a thick gel.




Try these old school techniques instead of hot tools for healthy hair and hair extensions and you will not regret you did.  What is better than sexy, shiny and healthy hair?

Real Housewives - Hair Extension Addicts

It is amazing to see that nearly every Real Housewife of every city wear hair extensions - they are hair extension addicts!

Hair Extensions are the "new normal" and the Real Housewives were not born with all that gorgeous hair.  Twenty years ago, many never heard of hair extensions and today they are not just worn by celebrities, but all of us.  

Lisa Real Housewives of Miami

Hair Extensions can be applied with keratin protein bonding called fusion hair extensions or with tiny links called Micro Links.  Twenty strands of hair is separated and a hair extension is applied to the strand.  Tons of hair extensions are placed through out the head to create a glam style.

Alexis Bellino  both styles have hair extensions

 

 

 

The advent of hair extensions allows most of us to have the dream hair we were not born with.  Alexis Bellino is wearing hair extensions in both of the above styles verifying that hair extensions are not just for long locks.

Kyle Richards of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was born with gorgeous hair, but she is known to wear hair extensions on occasion.  The extra hair added with hair extensions gives Kyle Richard's mane a more dramatic look.

It has been said that celebrities such as the women of the Real Housewives spend in access of $10k per year on their hair extensions.  Human hair extensions should never be that costly ~ an average full set of human hair extensions range in price from $450 to $750 for everything; hair cost, application, cutting and styling.  If you are charged more - do your due diligence to seek an expert that is experienced and offers reasonable pricing.

Hair extensions are not just for Real Housewives, but for real women as well.  Go for it - you will not be disappointed, but possibly addicted!
