Tabatha’s Salon Takeover 2 Premieres Tonight!

“Tabatha’s Salon Premiers Tonight”Tabatha’s Salon Takeover 2 premiers tonight on Bravo TV 10/9c and it sounds like this Aussie has her work cut-out for her! With the struggling economy, small salon businesses find themselves more and more in need of good outside advice to stay afloat. Clients have tightened their belts when it comes to how often they have their hair cut and colored, not to mention extra added services and professional hair care products.

Tabatha comes to the rescue with her own demands on how things need to change in the hair salon for business to survive. From salon cleanliness to rotten hair stylists attitudes, Tabatha’s Salon Takeover gives an inside peek at what the hair salon business entails. For one week, she is queen mum and does what it takes to whip the hairdressers and hair salon managers into shape. Never mincing words, her abrupt approach has tumultuous results with independent hairdresser types she’s required to manage . . . you know who you are.

Tonight Tabatha starts out the season at a Chicago hair salon which has been in business for 23 years and is “going down the drain.” When Tabatha starts into constructive criticism, all hell breaks out . . . let the ego bashing begin!  You can fill in the !$#@*?* bleeps for yourself.

If you’ve watched Tabatha in her element before, you know she is able to get results more often than not . . . but not without a few tears, foot stomping, door slamming and good ole drama!

Do you dye gray hair now and want to go natural?

As baby boomers age, the questions come in more and more . . . “once I’ve started do I need to dye gray hair forever, or, how do I stop?”

“Do I Dye Gray
Hair Forever”

Judy asks;

“I have been using the lightest color of blonde on my hair for the last 10 years waiting for my hair to go white. I am now ready to go white but don’t know how to stop using the coloring and just let it grow out without looking freaky. Is it just a dream that I have that I can strip out the blond and it would be naturally beautifully white? I am 67 and have been coloring forever and don’t know what is under it all, naturally it was dark brown. Some of that is still peeking through (roots) in the back.”

Naturally dark brown hair has a tendency to turn to beautiful gray hair or white hair however, genetics play a role here too! If you were fortunate enough to see your parents through the process of going gray, it will give you the best road map to how you may gray naturally. I’ve found that most women turn gray or white in the same way their Mother’s and Grandmother’s evolved.

You are not in a ‘dream’ world believing that a beautiful white is an attainable goal, however you may need a little help to get it there. It sounds like you are not seeing ‘roots’ in the front, and if that’s the case, you should be able to get to white more easily. You’ve already seen that some of your natural dark brown hair color is still coming in the back and that can make for a gorgeous natural contrast.

Here are a couple of suggestions to consider for transitioning your blonde hair to white or gray hair.

• Shorten your hair as much as possible where it is still comfortable for you. Shorter hair will make for a quicker transition and keep your hair healthier in the process.

• Start a process to lift the blonde out by gently bleaching in many foils with fine sections.

• Repeat foils in 4 to 6 weeks and tone with a violet based gloss or color shampoo to reduce any yellow
• Cut hair and repeat foils till hair is white.

If you have any dark roots in the front and on top it means your hair has not turned completely gray or white yet. You could bring your hair to it’s natural color by following these steps.

• Cut hair short for a quicker blending of old hair to regrowth
• Foil in low-lights with semi-permanent hair color that matches your regrowth. A semi-permanent hair color will stain the gray and the foils will reduce lines of demarcation as your natural hair color grows in.

An experienced professional hair colorist will see the natural hair color you have coming in now and be able to determine your best options. If your hair colorist is unsure of how to get you through this, do some due-diligence and find one who is knowledgeable and confident. Don’t assume everyone who colors hair has the knowledge to do this. If you suspect hesitation on their part . . . look elsewhere.

Whether you dye gray hair now or, you are thinking to dye your gray hair in the future, here is an article on going gray with some more ideas of how to survive the transitioning.

Maria Bello Celebrity Stylist Gives Step by Steps for Classic Updo

Celebrity stylist Sean James chose this simple but very appropriately elegant look for actress Maria Bello for a recent awards show. Maria accepted “The Spirit Award for Style and Elegance,” at Los Angeles Fashion Week.

“Celebrity Stylist Gives Maria Bello a Classic Updo Hairstyle”An oval face shape such as Maria Bello’s can hardly go wrong with a hairstyle, but this look is a classic and it was perfect for the women who received this award!

How to Get the Hairstyle:

• Step One: Use RUSK Thick to give hair volume and blow dry the hair back away from the face to create more fullness.
• Step Two: Curl the ends with a 1″ barrel curling iron
• Step Three: Take a triangular section of hair at the front of the head from eye to eye to center of crown and clip it out of the way. Pull the rest of the hair in a low ponytail at the nape of the head then twist and pin into a bun this is where the pre-curling will make it easier to create a nice shape.
• Step Four: Back-comb/tease the pinned fringe and then smooth it bringing it back and twisting it. Pin it back into the bun leaving a little volume on the top section. Spray for hold with good hairspray like RUSK Radical Extreme Hold and you are ready to go!
