GREAT HAIR CARE PRODUCT FOR TRAVEL!

TIGI Rockaholic All Access Go Anywhere Shampoo Bar

TIGI Rockaholic All Access Go Anywhere Shampoo Bar 3.53oz. is a big stress reducer for those of you who need to measure out liquids before hopping on a plane. I know most hotels have shampoo and conditioner now, but don’t you always feel you need to carry some anyways? Depending on where you’re staying, it’s not always certain there will be some user friendly products on hand for your hair needs.

Thanks to the folks at TIGI we now have this shampoo + conditioner bar that makes life just a little bit easier. Throw it in your gym or overnight bag and your good to go. The bar is infused with sage leaf, sandlewood and henna . . . of which the first two have a great aroma! (However, my memory of the smell of henna for coloring hair, is not an especially good one.) It will cost about $10.00 to $12.00 if you get it online, including shipping. I haven’t been able to find any reviews on it to pass along to you.  And I haven’t picked one up for myself yet but I’m going to be sure to do that before my next trip!

Good Hair-Bad Hair - a cultural phenomenon

Here is a heads up to Chris Rock fans and fans of ‘good hair!” Chris took on the project this past year of making, what would seem to be an unlikely subject for him, a movie/documentary called “Good Hair.”  The subject interested him after his daughter, Lola, asked him the question, “How come I don’t have good hair Daddy?”

“Good Hair
by Chris Rock”“Good Hair” in the African-American culture is now normally considered to be smooth, straight and often times long.  Role models and celebrities like Michelle Obama, Tyra Banks, Oprah and Beyonce to name just a few, reflect that idea.   And “bad hair” is normally considered to be kinky, nappy, thin, fragile and curly. Unfortunately that myth seems to have passed down since the time of slavery. But, the labeling or categorizing of one type of hair as good and another as bad can result in self-esteem issues. Chris Rock addresses the issues of hair, self-esteem and more in this documentary and does it with his own flair and humor!

Good Hair-Bad Hair - a cultural phenomenon

The quest for ‘good hair’ runs deep for many of us and the billion dollar hair industry is here to prove it.  Chris says he was ‘astonished’ to learn how many people will spend 20% of their income on relaxers and weaves in order to have the ‘good hair.’ (Chris includes a reference to Prince and his possible expenditures on his hair in his trailer .  . . so it’s not just ladies he’s talking about.)

Wednesday September 30th Oprah will be talking to Chris Rock about his new documentary “Good Hair.” The film “Good Hair” will be out on October 9th, so check it out . . . it looks like a good one.

Create a Short Hairstyle with Waves“Short Hairstyle Looks Great on Kim Kardashian”

Kim Kardashian, a maid of honor in sister Khloe Kardashian’s wedding this weekend, wore this short hairstyle recently that I loved. Kim Kardashian has very long hair, so her hair was pinned up to get this faux short hairstyle look. The good news is you can get the same hairstyle whether you have a long or short hairstyle naturally, heres how;

• Step 1: Start with clean, damp hair and run a curl enhancing product like Joico Curl Definer Crème Gel through strands. Comb through with a wide tooth comb.

• Step 2: Use a diffuser attachment on your hair dryer when drying your hair to bring out maximum body and wave. Only dry your hair until it is about 85% dry.

• Step 3: After your hair has completely dried, spray hair with a setting spray and then roll hair onto hot rollers. Try Redken Hot Sets Thermal Setting Mist that helps create a soft hold while protecting hair from heat.

• Step 4: Remove your hair from the rollers after they have cooled (about 20 minutes or so).

• Step 5: If you are trying to achieve this short hairstyle when you have long hair, take the bottom layers of hair out from the rollers first and pin those up toward your nape to create the illusion of shorter hair. Then take out the rest of your hair from the rollers and style around the pinned hair. If you already have a short hairstyle, simply remove your hair from the rollers and finger style into place. Create a deep side part if you want to re-create Kim Kardashian’s same short hairstyle look.

This is a fun and flirty short hairstyle no matter what length your hair is. Try tucking a flower into one side to give this short hairstyle an exotic edge!
