Natural Beauty Hair Care Information and Tips




Hair care is and always will be a hot topic, and with so much hype and controversy over the ever so common synthetic ingredients being used in today's products, it is no wonder why more and more people are moving toward more natural beauty hair care products and treatments.

Natural hair care treatments are starting to become more readily available on the market, and with more and more people looking to moving to these more natural treatments, you can be sure that you will soon find all types of products for all your hair care needs.

Natural beauty and hair care haven't always been a high priority for most people. With aisles of shampoo's, conditioners, styling gels, mousses, and other hair care products, many people have had so many choices that its hard to decide what to get and what will actually work. So with new natural and organic products coming onto the market, many consumers are getting confused and frustrated when it comes to picking out which ones to use. Here you will find some simple tips to help you in your quest for a natural beauty hair care product, and hopefully these tips will help you get rid of some of the frustration of picking out hair care products in general.

1. Read the labels - you can easily spot products that contain a lot of synthetic ingredients by looking at the back of the products. The longer the names, and the more un-pronouncable these names are, the more synthetic the product is. Natural products will have a lot of botanical names, and herbal names in their ingredient list. And these botanical names should be as high on the list as they possibly can. If they are the last ingredients listed, that means that there is probably not a lot of that ingredient in the total product.

2. Avoid anything that says "paraben" in the name. Paraben's are preservatives, and while preservatives are necessary in your natural beauty products, paraben's aren't the safest route to go when preserving. Paraben's have a whole list of harmful side effects, and excluding them from your beauty products is best.

3. Check out product reviews online if you have questions. There are so many reviews to find online that there is no reason to be blindly picking out products because they either look or smell nice. Check out the best natural beauty makers, like Origins, or Burt's Bees and see what they have to offer. By simply doing a Google search you can find tons of products for just about any need you are faced with

4. Find natural beauty alternatives to using manufactured products. Ingredients such as carrier oils, and essential oils are often easily available online, and many can be incorporated easily into you beauty routine without the hassle of having to deal with a whole slew of ingredients. This site provides some great natural beauty articles to help with a variety of beauty problems.

As you can see, by simply using some of these above tips, you can easily reduce your risk of adding harmful or potentially harmful products into your life. Its not hard, and it doesn't take a lot of time to go natural with your beauty regimen.

Beautiful Hair




There are many hair products out there today that are meant to give you beautiful hair, some work some do not. Whatever you choose you need to be sure that it is going to work, otherwise you are doing nothing other then wasting time and money. Sometimes you can actually do more harm than good, if you get the wrong product for your hair. It is very important for you to know what works for your hair and what does not. This will help you obtain the most beautiful and healthy hair possible. When you are looking at obtaining new hair care products, it does not hurt to not only shop around but also to do some research over the Internet. This will give you the best shot at finding what is going to work for you best.

Shampoos And Conditioners

When it comes to beautiful hair, one of the first things that people think about is shampoos and conditioners. It is very important to find the right mixes of these items for your hair, as this will keep your hair from drying out or getting too oily. There are hundreds of products on the market, that can be found anywhere from the best of salons all the way down the line to the bargain bin stores and dollar shops that grace the strip malls. You need to understand that many of the finer products are expensive for a reason, and the difference of 5 dollars per bottle between the dollar store and the salon will actually benefit your hair greatly. Knowing where to shop is vital, if you are looking for hair care products that are going to actually help you.

Hot Oil Treatments

If you are looking for beautiful hair, then you may want to consider hot oil treatments for your hair. This is a great product for those that have unmanageable hair and or color treated hair. This product will help those that cannot seem to get a grip on the dryness of their hair, and are looking for something more. The hot oil treatments can be found virtually anywhere today, and it is easy to find these hair products in places like pharmacies and even grocery stores near you. These treatments take very little time to perform, and they do actually leave your hair soft and shiny. This is definitely a great way to get the hair you want, and you will not have to spend a great deal of money to do it.

Regular Hair Cuts

If you are looking for beautiful hair, one of the first places that you should go to is the hair stylist or barber. Having a trim every 6-8 weeks is actually very healthy for your hair, and this will give you the beautiful hair that you desire. The hair trimming is not nearly as expensive as a cut wash and style, so it will not really hurt your pocket book.

Work it Out: Installment Dix

Last night I was heading straight from the office for drinks to celebrate a few of my work girlies' Birthdays. What a night it was... and what an awful day it has been today.
Dress: Zara (later worn with black cardigan). I also wore black patent heels from New Look. I really don't like NL very much because most of the clothes are such poor quality. Personally I would rather save and buy one nice item, that will last, than ten that are going to disintegrate in the wash. However, the shoes in NL are nothing to be sniffed at. They have some nice designs, are super affordable, comfortable and give me peace of mind as so often expensive shoes get ruined (after one outing in the lovely London rain).
I hope you all had a good Friday night my lovelies!  I'm going back to bed to nurse my poor head. My own fault really.. why did I ever think it would be a good idea to mix about 14 different types of cocktails and shots in one night??? :( xxx

Hair Highlight Styles




Colour adds life to any element. Hair cuts and hairstyles are now back with retro styles. Hair colouring is a evolved business and many properties regarding allergies and longevity of the colour are taken into consideration. Colour additions are presented in the market interestingly. It is always advisable to check for allergies prior to the application of hair colour. Again if you are doing the colouring yourself use tight fitting gloves so as to avoid direct contact with the colouring agent.

Highlighted styles for wavy hair look elegant. Colouring hair is not about painting but involves lot of hard work and skill. There is low lighting for darkening hair. Chunky painting of hair colour should be done with care or will result in patchy application. There are simple ways to highlight a hair. If you visit a salon, the experience though expensive will yield better results. Colour of the hair says a lot about personality and style. Streaking hair in yellow and white is a good idea. Here the idea is minimalising the hair colour yet maintaining a style about the hair.

For party events updo hair styles on highlighted hair adds a lot of character. Gowns, jewelry, stilettos and accessories add up to the magic of a updo hairstyles. Hair colour also cuts age if used brilliantly. Loud colours like red should not be tried for corporate employees. Temporary hair colours need to be checked for quality and usually experimented by teenagers. Foil method of hair coloring is a great skill and is time consuming. But there is a distinct kind of sectionized coloring in this case.

Touching up the hair colour is also important. Use darker shades towards the roots and colour the hair from back to front. There is a lot of consideration to be given to the colour of the eyes and skin tone before you venture into highlighting your hair. If you have brown or chestnut kind of colour then the right kind of lipstick has to be worked out. Eye shadows and earrings too add style to the entire look.

It is natural for you to appreciate a personality featuring in the glamour magazine. You may also take the picture to suggest the same to your stylist. But there are aspects of lifestyle demands, celebrity status and other hair care techniques which need to be adhered after colouring the hair. The stylist may suggest mixing two colours to get the correct look that will flatter your skin and features.

Processing the hair immediately after colouring is not recommended. Conditioning with a deep moisturizer is important as hair colours are potent with their chemicals and cause dry and damaged hair. Use a scarf if you need to step in the sun or avoid catching a rain shower. Short, long, bob or wavy hair looks great with the range of colours for highlighting.

Hair highlights look great on all kinds of haircuts and hairstyles be it Bob haircuts, layered hairstyles, short haircut.

Work it Out: Installment Neuf

I assure you no zebras were harmed in the making of this outfit ;). This shirt is definitely not for everyone, but my love of Cougar Town knows no bounds and when I saw it I had to have it. During the day I wore it with a plain black cardigan so only the collar and cuffs were on show, which toned it down and made it much less 'flashy'.
Shirt: Hawes & Curtis. Pearl cufflinks: Hawes &Curtis. Fishtale skirt: M&S.

 Since it was raining (and excrutiatingly windy to the point where I had to cling on to a wall for support in my stilettos) I decided to braid my hair into a simple side swept fishtail braid. I was inspired by the numerous gorgeous, thick, tousled braids on the catwalk recently, though you definitely need quite a few wefts of clip ins to recreate the look! I made mine sleek and trapped the flyaways with lashings of Andrew Collinge serum (akin to Frizz Ease).

So tell me.. did I scare you with the satin zebra ;)? xxx

All about hair :)

So many of you have requested a video showing what products I use in my hair, that I finally succumbed. To tell you the truth, my hair is not in great shape atm. I hated my last haircut and since then have been curling it pretty much every day in an attempt to hide the horrible disjointed, choppy layers. So now, I have ended up with very dry and split ends, but am still very wary of getting it cut again as the top layers are far too short.

I have been using the products mentioned below to try and combat the dry frizz and hopefully let my hair grow.
