Fingerwaves

Mallory's makeup was inspired by Twiggy, the face of '66. http://www.twiggylawson.co.uk/biography.html Her hair was fingerwaved. I set the wave in while her hair was wet with some styling gel. Once the hair was dry I used a mason pierson to brush it out for a softer look.

Thinking of putting some fashion colors in your hair? If you're worried about fading try using extensions instead! They won't fade and they'll last 3-6 months!

Let's go Retro

Just messing around with some new makeup and hair ideas. Chelsey's look is simple and elegant. The flower adds a more modern look to her hair. I used warm natural Bobbi Brown foundation on her skin. The smokey eye palate by MAC on her eyes. Gentle mineralized blush by MAC on her cheeks. Her lips are a combination of MAC Red lipstick and Grace by beauty addicts lip gloss. The look achieved is somewhat of a 1920's Flapper style.

More Hair

Recently when asking around to see what people are interested in reading in my blog I received a response I had never thought to blog about, MORE HAIR.

There are so many different product options out there for people with thinning, fine hair. First and foremost you need to figure out why your hair is thinning. Is it genetics, stress, hormonal, vitamin deficiency, iron deficiency, thyroid, or an illness? Once you have that part figured out it's on to the next step, figuring out which products work best for you.

One of the very best vitamins on the market to help hair growth I have found with my clients is BIOTIN http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotin. It's a source of vitamin B. Biotin is available in both pill form and also found in some shampoos. There are several other vitamins on the market such as Densi-Recharge by Kerastase http://www.kerastase-usa.com/_en/_us/shop_products/specifique/index-specifique.htm. If simple vitamin supplementation isn't working it may be time to see your Dermatologist. The Dr. can provide both steroid injections to the thinning areas and also provide topical creams if needed.

If the issue is genetics we're fighting an uphill battle. There has been some promising progress with the development of Latisse http://www.latisse.com/?cid=ppc_gg_latisse. Woman are not recommended to use Propecia but it is safe to use Rogaine.

On a less scientific note we can have some fun with extensions to give you the thick hair you want. Here are some of the options when it comes to faux hair, starting on the inexpensive end.

Claire's and similar accessory shops sell extensions on combshttp://www.claires.com/store/goods/Teens/cat310184/Faux-Hair/p1000777/Dark-Blonde-Pony-Tail/?productId=p1000777&size=&color=BRUNETTE&quantity=1

Salley's Beauty Supply sells a variety of brands both synthetic and natural human hair extensions.

http://www.hairuwear.com/ offers higher end extensions including Great Lengths. Great Lengths are by far the best extensions I've worked with. They are Keratin bonds so they don't damage the hair you already have, excellent quality hair and they look natural http://www.greatlengths.net/.
