White Clay

Pre Shampoo White Clay Hair Pack

This pre shampoo clay conditioning pack is designed to deep clean and hydrate hair.  It will work on most types, textures and conditions of hair with special benefits for dry, damaged or brittle strands.

The clay will cling to dirt and product residue from the hair shaft while providing enrichment for the scalp.

Although there are many types of clay used for a variety of beauty treatments, white clay known as kaolin (kaolinite) is the most gentle.  Black, green or red clay can be too harsh for tresses.

When white clay is combined with rich nourishing oils like coconut and jojoba the result is a perfect pre-shampoo hair mask which deep cleans while moisturizing the cuticles and the scalp.

While the white clays pulls dirt, debris and product build-up from the hair the coconut and jojoba oil creates a thin layer on top of the hair sealing in needed moisture. Read the rest of this post »

Beavis And Butt-Head Pompadour Hairstyles

Best Hair – Beavis Or Butt-head?

Are you a fan of Bevis and Butt-head?  If so you know that they are famous for a wide range of antics as well as their trademark big hair.  Bevis has brunette hair which is sometimes not coiffed as big as Butt-head’s blonde helmet.

It’s unlikely, based on their characters, that either of the teens spend any time creating their hairstyles and they just form based on their natural texture.  Either they have very thick hair which naturally billows up and out or they don’t wash their hair.

Ultimately the teens either have bad bed head or consciously work hair dryers to get their big pompadour style hairstyles.

If you had to choose which hair would you vote as the best?  Personally I would select Butt-head because of his vibrant blonde hair which seems to fit his personality best.

What Is Beavis & Butt-head

Beavis and Butt-head is a famous animated television series created by Mike Judge and co-starring two unique teens from Highland, Texas.  It has a cult following around the world.

The series originated from Frog Baseball, a 1992 short film by Judge. After seeing the short, MTV signed Judge to develop the concept. Beavis and Butt-head originally aired from March 8, 1993 to November 28, 1997.  It was revived in 2011 and began airing on MTV on October 27th.  The popular show has been a source of controversy as the show has been claimed to promote dangerous behavior.

Long Blonde Wurly Hair

Waves + Curls = Wurly Hair

When natural curls and waves merge on one head of hair the result can range from loose ribbons of curls intermingling with lush bouncy waves or random sinuous snakelike waves dotting a head full of curls.

Sometimes the curls stay hidden at the nape of the neck, like my own hair.  Other times they pop up around the hairline, along the top of the head or at random points.

Wurly hair can be fine/thin, medium or thick.  Wurly hair can be straight on top, wavy throughout the middle and curly underneath or vice versa.

When someone has hair which is neither straight, strictly curly or wavy, it is often referred to as wurly.  Sometimes curl embellished waves are known as wurls.

Just as every type and texture of hair have their own care and styling needs, the same can be said for wurly hair.

When the ideal hair care and styling techniques are applied to wurls, the results if beautiful pops of spirals, well placed kinks and coils and loose fat waves. Read the rest of this post »

Emma Watson Iconic Pixie Haircut

Emma Watson Crop Is New Iconic Hairstyle

In a Modern Salon Blog dated 06/08/10 writer Melissa Hill discussed the The Death of the Iconic Hairstyle.  Hill interviewed famed colorist and Matrix Artistic Color Director Patrick McIvor and L’Oreal Professional Portfolio Artist Amit Abraham to uncover who was next in line to claim the title of iconic hairstyle.

Although Farrah Fawcett Major was known for “The Farrah” followed by Jennifer Aniston’s “The Rachel”, McIvor and Abraham told Hill they believed the era of the iconic hairstyles which have graces thousands of heads over the last hundred years was over.  Finished.  Done.

Why?  McIvor and Abraham pointed out that with the current trend towards complete individualism in hair, fashion and lifestyle, the climate isn’t right for the rise of a new iconic hairstyle.

No More “Rachels”

Patrick McIvor told Hill “In the past, you could always go, ‘that’s the trend.’ Or you go, ‘no, it’s the wrong color.’ Now today, the trends are always customizable. You’ll never see them in their purity. Kids don’t want their MySpace pages to look the same, they don’t want their cars to look the same, they don’t want their phones to look the same.”

He continued “So why do we think they’re all going to walk in with a picture of Rachel’s haircut? It’s never going to happen again, because culturally they never participated in it. We did. So that’s the thing that’s really cool about right now.” Read the rest of this post »

Zoe Saldana At Hollywood Palladium - December 4, 2011 - Los Angeles, California

Zoe Saldana Volume Updo Hairstyle How To

Actress Zoë Saldaña (born June 19, 1978) had her breakthrough role in the 2000 film Center Stage and later gained prominence for her roles as Anamaria in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Uhura in the 2009 film Star Trek.

She was spectacular in her demanding starring role as Neytiri in James Cameron’s Avatar.   The beautiful actress raised in The Dominican Republic and New York also had a lead role in the action film Colombiana.

In 2002 she co-starred in the film Crossroads with none other than Britney Spears.  In that film Zoe was asked to do the unthinkable.  She had to act like she was prettier and cooler than Britney Spears.  As Kit, Saldana played a high-school prima donna (who eventually gains humility) on a coming-of-age road trip.

The film was Brit’s Hollywood debut and the role required Zoe to be mean to just about everyone on set.  The beautiful actress confessed to Allure Magazine in February of 2002 that she “fun playing bad”, but left her attitude in front of the camera.

Once the camera stopped rolling Zoe told Allure “I would always say ‘I’m so sorry’ to everyone I’d be mean to” and luckily there were no hard feelings.

The film was directed by Tamra Davis, produced by David Gale, written by Shonda Rhines (Grey’s Anatomy) and starred Britney Spears.  Co-stars included Dan Aykroyd, Kim Cattrall, Anson Mount, Taryn Manning, Justin Long, Beverly Johnson and Jamie Lynn Spears. Read the rest of this post »
