Oscar Hairstyles the Best and Worst

The Oscar Awards were nothing to write home about when it came to creative Oscar hairstyles. Not much to get excited about. I had a hard time picking a favorite because nothing stood out.

Am I missing something here? If you saw an Oscar hairstyle that was a knockout, please share it with us. I would like to hear what you thought was smashing! Haven’t we all been programmed to look to these shows to see the top fashion styles?

The, what-not-to-do Oscar hairstyle award, was easy . . . it goes to Meryl Streep. Being a nominee for best actress, one of the biggest awards of the evening, you would think would call for a coif of some sort. Her hair looked as if nothing more than a comb had been run through it after getting out of the shower. Nothing, no style, not even the casual looking style applies here, as even the casual look takes a bit of foofing.

The straight hairstyle look showed up again and looked good on Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow. But again, nothing new, kind of boring for the big Oscar night.

So my best Oscar hairstyle award of goes to . . . .

Jodie Foster . . . for these reasons. It’s always fun to see a new hairstyle on someone and it was a breath of fresh air to see hair other than the long, slightly layered look. This hairstyle flatters her square face shape with the soft, long razored layering, giving a light fullness and height on top. An airiness and texture was created also with the right amount of high lights.

Hair Lice Treatment Alert

.

Examine Hair Lice Treatment Labels Just in Case

A Colorado hormone specialist has found three boys between the ages of 4 and 10 suddenly experiencing a hormone imbalance after the boys had been exposed to scented oils which contain lavender and tee tree oils.

“Breast Enlargement
in Boys”

The hormone imbalance caused a temporary condition known as gynecomastia, which causes breast enlargement in boys. Probably not much here to get alarmed about as it’s only a very small study and the symptoms seem to disappear as soon as the hair lice products were no longer being applied to the boys skin.

I don’t imagine too many of you are using scented oils on your boys, some of are very likely to see these ingredients showing up in hair lice treatments, That is something that often gets used in boys hair of this age.

Cheap Travel Hair Dryers May Not be Worth The Risk

This is the 3rd or even maybe the 4th travel hair dryer recall that I’ve passed on to you folks. They all seem to fit a pattern all are in the inexpensive category and they all have been recalled for the same reason . . . Electrocution hazard. This particular model, the Version X Travel’N Baby Mini Hair Dryer comes lacking an electric shock protection immersion device.

Electrocution is pretty serious stuff. My advice is to pass on the low bargain priced travel hair dryer, regardless of where you find them. Just to be on the safe side pay just a few dollars more and look for a brand you can trust. The difference in price will be minimal for the peace of mind.

If you own one of these deadly devices you should unplug it immediately and contact Metropolis Beauty for a full refund.
