Hair Care Product Salon Selectives

Hair Care Product Brand “Salon Selectives” is Back

A popular hair care product brand is back on the market as of March 1st. It is unclear from the press releases how soon it will be available on shelves at your local drug stores. My calls to their media department went unanswered but check www.salonselectives.com which will more than likely list where you can find their products.  

Quite frankly I didn’t notice that Salon Selectives was missing from the hair care product scene since 2004. I remember this product from back in the 80’s and it was a popular over-the-counter hair care product.  It had a signature pleasent apple scent aroma, was widely available and was priced right. The Salon Selectives hair care product was the first salon-inspired brand, now of course the market is flooded with competitors.

It seems that the original owners of the brand were Helene Curtis, Inc. The consumer product giant Unilever acquired Helene Curtis in 1996, then in a move that baffles me they took the Salon Selectives brand off the market. It seems the hair care product has a very favorable brand awareness factor that exists to this day.

So a couple of 3 piece suits from Helene Curtis, Inc. got the bright idea to re-launch the hair care product as of March 1st. Their PR claims that they will have a new formula. Lets hope they don’t mess too much with a good thing.

Emo Scene Hair on Ramiele Malubay

American Idol breaks into Emo Hair Styles

If you’re a wanna-be when it comes to wearing an emo hair style, but haven’t quite been able to take the plunge into committing to the cut yet . . . do what American Idol Ramiele Malubay did . . . just style it that way!

I imagine it was the American Idol hair stylists, behind the scenes, that gave Ramiele her new emo hair style look for last weeks show. It caught me by surprise and not having seen her before, I didn’t know if the hair style was cut that way or was simply styled into an emo hair style look. They styled in a dramatic swept fringe with lift at the crown and swept the back up and to the side, pinning it leaving some piecey edges falling out. The asymmetrical look was complete with one side left down and styled pointy.

Ramiele’s normal hair style

Ramiele is a beauty and whoever created her emo hair style for this episode, my hat’s off to you! Are you looking for a new hair style or look? Don’t underestimate the power of learning new styling techniques. Learn how to use a tool you don’t use now, or more on styling products and what they do. The range of possibilities for changing your look is more than what you probably get stuck into day to day. It just takes a bit of creativity, know-how and guts to try something new.

The Short Hair Prom Styles This Season . . . Short & Sweet

This year’s prom season is sure to turn up more short hair prom styles, than we’ve seen in years past.  Who ever invented the myth that you have to have long hair in order to finish off a high glamour night? I mean hair can be fabulous at any length providing you have the right tools and advice.  Well, I am here to tell you that prom 2008 can be remarkable at any length.

“This season it’s
short hair prom
styles”If you have already found your dream gown, than the hard part is done, you can relax.  Hairstyles; however, are a little more tricky.  There are so many options to choose from it is next to impossible to tell what look is right for you.  It is best to go back to the dress.  You basically have a mood you are going to portray, a feeling that will come from your head to your feet.

If your dress is sweet, soft, and long it is best to choose something classical.  You want the hair to be more polished and sleek.  When you are wearing a strapless dress it is best to opt for a more romantic look.  You should try something with a flexible curl or lightly pinned up. Don’t be shy of the pin up, just because you do not have the length doesn’t mean you cannot work with the short hair you do have.  And when you have a dress that is a little flirty and fun, make sure your short hairstyle is mimicking the same sassiness.

Short Hair—Classical

1. Wash and towel dry hair. Apply a coin size amount of smoothing or straightening balm into hair from back to front.  Lightly sprits a volumizing mousse at the roots only.
2. Blow dry hair upside down using your fingers to pick through the hair gently.
3. When the hair is almost dry, mist a setting spray thoroughly through the hair. Wrap one inch sections of hair around large Velcro rollers. Finish the pattern through to the front of the head.
4. Mist the rolled hair generously with setting spray.  Blow-dry the rest of the dampness out of the hair on medium heat. Let the rollers cool down.
5. Remove all the rollers and toss the hair upside down and finger pick the hair with a shine pomade. Using a vent or flat brush, brush the hair lightly. Create a dramatic parting and smooth the ends under.

Short Hair — Romantic

1. Spray a setting spray all over previously blow-dried hair. Using a medium barrel curling iron, wrap one inch sections of hair around the barrel.  Spray and wind each curl back to the root and fasten with a pin.
2. After the entire head is finished start removing all the pins.  Toss the hair lightly and then form through the curls with a light pomade.
3. Create your desired parting and lightly back comb your fringe area to give it a slight bit of volume.
4. Twist and pin the sides back behind the ears.  Allow the curls to form naturally through the nape of the head.
 

Short & Sassy

1. Wash hair with a curl enhancing shampoo. Lightly towel dry the hair and  gently comb through hair with a wide toothed comb to get rid of snarls.  To remove excess water scrunch the hair lightly towards the roots using a paper towel, this will absorb the moisture.
2. Blow-dry your hair using a diffuser.  If your diffuser is the type with picks, delicately pick the hair up into the diffuser, try not to touch it too much with your hands, this adds frizz. While you are blow-drying, mist the hair with a curl activating spray or sea salt spray, this will give the hair a more tossed beach look.
3. Mist a shine spray and style as desired. If you find the ends a little too frizzy, massage a wax gel in the palm of your hands and scrunch the ends of the hair.
There are always ways of spicing things up, so please don’t hesitate to try something new. The luxury of short hair is that you can try several styles easily and quickly. Take the time before prom and fool around with different partings, adding some jeweled pins, or pinning one side back and adding some flower power to your style.
But for all you cute shorties, don’t think you have to change and grow your locks for prom; be yourself, just add a dash of flare to the mixture.
