Letting it All Grow Out For Fall!

Getting a monthly hair dye can be a pricey chore, but thanks to celeb’s new trend, roots are in!  Who would have thought that having dark roots and lighter sun kissed ends would ever be a sought after style?  This new hairdo is a dream come true for the low maintenance girl and is easy on the pocketbook!  Check out the stars making a statement with their new ombre do...

The Right Way To Root

Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lauren Conrad are just a few examples of blonde bombshells who have given their longer roots a chance!  Growing your roots out more than a few inches will make your worn out locks look more like a new hairstyle, rather than a result of laziness (or lack of cash)!  Plus, spreading out your color treatments will be less damaging to your stresses.





Blondes Don’t Have All The Fun!
These three starlets prove this look isn’t just for blondes!  Brunettes can rock their roots as well adding a nice contrast with the darker and lighter shades of brown.  Ashlee’s style gives her an edgier, rocker image.  If this isn’t the statement you’d like to make, you could try a softer, sweeter look like Jessica Biel or Rachel Bilson!









So maybe you should think twice before scheduling your next hair appointment... or perhaps this is a style stunt that only the rich & famous can pull off!

The Healthy Hair Menu
Next time you start to blame the weather (or your new hairstylist) for your drab hair style, you should know there is another factor that could be bringing down your ‘do.  The same way that diet affects the rest of the body, it also affects the condition of your hair.  Here are some helpful tips on what foods you can add to your diet to improve the health of your hair!

For Damaged Hair
For more luscious locks, add protein and dark green veggies to your diet.  This will improve the condition of the hair and give it an overall healthier look.  Calcium found in low fat dairy products is also vital for healthy hair growth.
Foods to Try:  Beans, Eggs, Yogurt, Cottage Cheese 

For Out of Control Dandruff
To get rid of embarrassing dandruff, eat more Zinc!  Eating foods containing Zinc will help repair damaged hair and also reduce dandruff.
Foods to Try:  Whole Grain Bread, Whole Grain Breakfast Cereal, Oysters (also an aphrodisiac!) 

For a Dry Scalp
If you have a dry scalp, increase your intake of Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin A which both act as a natural conditioner for the scalp. 
Foods to Try: Walnuts, Salmon, Grape Fruit, Carrots

For Dry & Brittle Hair
Brittle hair can be the result of a diet low in Omega-3 fatty acids, Zinc, Vitamins A and E, and Biotin which protects the follicle against dryness, graying, and breakage.
Foods to Try:  Nuts, Green Leafy Vegetables, Cod, Avocado

For Oily Hair
Vitamins A and C help your body to create Sebum - a natural moisturizer that will help regulate natural oils and keep your hair hydrated.  Eliminate foods with saturated oils and be sure to include more raw foods in your diet.
Foods to Try:  Raw Sushi, Oranges, Strawberries, Raw Broccoli

For Preventing Hair Loss
The mineral, Silica, is believed to slow down hair loss and possibly prevent it.  
Foods to Try:  Peppers, Potatoes, and Sprouts

For Dull Hair 
An Omega-6 fatty acid, GLA, promotes healthy hair growth and nourishes hair strands giving your mane a natural shine.  Copper can also help prevent the loss of hair pigmentation.
Foods to Try:  Lean Meats, Cold Water Fish, Wheatgrass and Algae, Sesame Seeds, Nuts, Mushrooms

NOT on the Menu:
Alcohol, Coffee, Black Tea, and Sugar
Stay away from these foods! These substances can prevent the absorption of  vitamins and minerals needed to maintain beautiful, healthy hair!

Keep in mind that dietary changes only affect new hair growth - it will take a few months before you will notice improvements in your hair’s condition! Combining the proper diet with daily moisturizing shampoo and conditioning treatments will lead to optimal results!

Top 5 Summer Beauty Trends for the Office

From the fashion runways of New York City straight to the office, these Top 5 Summer Beauty Trends are HOT off the press and will have you looking your best at work with a FRESH new look for Summer! 

Part of the Crowd
Flaunt this vintage, classic glam look this summer by parting your tresses on the left side.  Add voluminous waves for the proper dose of fun.  Beauty experts say curly-haired women are seen as more carefree and approachable!













Ready, Set…Glow!

Fluorescent office lighting isn’t always the most flattering for our skin tones! However, a natural looking glow can still be possible with a little help from a highlighting concealer along cheekbones and the bridge of the nose to enhance facial structure and make skin shimmer.







Straight Talk

A sleek, polished style is great for the workplace – and it’s definitely “en vogue” in the fashion world too! Just be sure to steer clear of stick straight styles, use a dab of serum to tame any unwanted fly-aways, and incorporate a little volume in order to keep a softer, more feminine look.



                                       
                                          


Warm Summer Shades

To add a little warmth to fair skin tones, use a creamy, honey tone blush or bronzer. Use a touch of shimmering copper shadow on eyelids and rosy bronze gloss on lips and—voila! —say hello to a warm, sun-kissed complexion!





Headband Help

Bad hair day? A black headband is simple yet chic and instantly tames tempestuous strands. Wear over a clean, low pony or bun for instant style and a work-appropriate do.
