Eye Lashes Making a Comeback



Eye Lashes.

Eye Lashes Are Back

As false eye lashes gradually shed their tarty image, cosmetics companies such as MAC, Shu Uemura and Vincent Longo have begun offering false eye lashes at Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys New York or their own tony boutiques, training the sales staff in application techniques.

Scan the celebrity tabloids, flip on daytime TV or even the national news and you’ll see them. Amid the amazingly ample breasts, the unlined foreheads and the full lips are sets of long, dense, fluttery eyelashes.

You may cynically, and rightly, assume that implants, Botox and collagen have worked their magic on more than a few of these body parts. Guess what? The eye lashes are fake, too.

Look closely at Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey, Eva Longoria, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and a long list of cable news anchors, and you’ll spot the telltale signs: thick eyeliner (to hide the false-eye lash strip edges); eye lashes that nearly touch the brows (only freaks of nature grow them so long); a spidery pattern of spikes that would make Liza Minnelli proud.

The old obsession over big lips has given way to a new fetish for big eye lashesEye Lashes
are Back. It started with the troupes of thick-eye lashed lasses walking the runways for lofty fashion houses. Fashion magazines and celebrity hairdresser picked up on the notion, and now the rest of us are buying record numbers of “fortified” mascaras and flocking to salons offering the latest beauty fad: eye lash extensions.

And at last, top makeup artists are coming clean about how they make the stars’ eyes shine so bright. “False eye lashes are the best-kept secret in makeup,” said Vincent Longo. “I’ve been doing eye lashes for 22 years, and I don’t think false eye lashes have ever left my kit.”

Eye lash extensions are creating the most buzz. In the painstaking, two-hour process, a technician glues about two dozen individual, artificial eye lashes onto each eyelid’s natural eye lashes, one by one by one. The service is becoming popular nationwide. It can cost anywhere from $45 in a makeup boutique to $250 in a Beverly Hills hair salon. Some practitioners say the single eye lashes are an aesthetic improvement over the three-lash, semi-permanent eye lashes that have been around for 30 years or more and cost less than $10 at a drugstore.

Hair Straighteners



Hair Straighteners

Hair Straighteners . . . Here is the Inside Scoop

Looks like hairdressers are starting to see some downsides to the Japanese hair straightening and the Thermal Hair Straighteners frenzy I’ve been seeing in the industry. This article is a must read for any of you who might be thinking of going for these expensive options to tame down your curly, frizzy, kinky hair. The article interviews several hairdressers and is a good review of all of your options in hair straighteners.

Hair Straighteners

THE JOURNAL NEWS

The battle for sleek, straight hair is one that’s waged daily in bathrooms across the country.

Don’t snicker. A good hair day is important. Even Sen. Hillary Clinton thinks so: “The most important thing I have to say today is ‘hair matters’. … Pay attention to your hair,” she advised the graduating class at Yale University. “Because everyone else will.”

Beauty companies are more than happy to come to the rescue, promoting their wares as miracle hair care products that tame frizz and fly-aways.

Price-wise, they’re all over the place — from serums that are just a few dollars to hair dryers and flat irons that hit the $200 mark. That’s not even counting the Japanese hair straightening treatments available at hair salons that go for hundreds of dollars.

The most effective way to get the straight hair you want is with a little help from your hairdresser combined with finding the tools that work right with your hair. But do you need to spend a fortune for Hair Straighteners?

“You have to be careful,” says Stephan Fornino, owner of Salon Premiere in White Plains, who has served as a consultant to several hair care product companies. “Never mix the price with quality or effectiveness. There’s too much dishonesty in the hair care product world. Does buying a Steinway (piano) for $250,000 enable you to learn to play the piano better than if you bought a used one for $1,000?”

A few years ago, the Rolls-Royce of in-salon straightening procedures was the Japanese hair straightening method. The procedure takes about five hours but the result is nothing short of a miracle: silky, smooth, pin-straight hair that lasts until new growth comes in. It comes with a hefty price tag of about $500 because the hairdresser is tied up for so long.

Japanese hair straightening went out of style because practitioners found that after a few applications, the hair was devastatedHair Straighteners.

Now many hair salons use various gel straighteners such as Rusk’s Anti-Curl. Basil Konstantinidis, owner New York Jungle Salon in Tappan, says it works like a conditioning treatment with a chemical that straightens the hair without damaging it.

“You should have it done if you’re looking to eliminate frizz,” Konstantinidis says.

It costs between $150 and $175, and lasts until new growth comes in.

Karen Ricciardelli, a 46-year-old with wavy, thick hair, had Konstantinidis apply the Rusk treatment several years ago but wasn’t thrilled with the results.

“I felt like it took a little too much body out of my hair,” says Ricciardelli, of Norwood, N.J. “I don’t like it when it’s stick straight.”
