Social scientists like Barry Schwartz, Dorwin Cartwright Professor of Social Theory and Social Action at Swarthmore College are currently studying the effects of information overload on the Web.

Scientists are looking into how the media has heightened the expectations of hair consumers to believe it’s relatively easy to achieve the same high fashion glam hairstyles that all of their celebrity idols are wearing.

As a result of the hairstyling info overload combined with heightened hairstyle expectations, hair consumers are literally exhausted and unhappier than ever with their hair choices.

The sheer volume of information along with the breadth of choices available to consumers, have only served to heighten their expectations to an unreasonable level. As a result of choice overload and unreasonable expectations it’s becoming even more impossible to be delighted any more.

Nowadays, the best consumer hair clients can even hope for is that a minimum level of expectations be reached. Continue reading “Hairstyle Happiness Ruined By High Expectations” »

ntrary to popular opinion a person can actually work out too much.

I freely admit to anyone that I have an addictive personality. If you know me you already know of my famous workaholic habits. Luckily for me, my family and friends, I have addressed my “challenging” addictions (over 20 years ago) and channelled them into “appropriate” addictions as well as striving for balance.

And yes, I am a long term recovering work-out addict who has learned to step away from the machines.

How did I do it? A combination of long term talk therapy, twelve step programs, meditation and lots of body work. Continue reading “Workout Addiction” »

Back in 1999 some of the hottest fashion trends revolved around “the big frill” as they referred to ruffles.

With fashions we all know that what goes around eventually comes around.

Therefore it was no surprise when the ruffle appeared again for Fall 2008 as one of the most sizzling features around.

Designer Alberta Ferretti told Allure Magazine ,in the past, that “ruffles are a means to communicate lightness and transparency”.

Ferretti said ruffles “add a touch of poetry, a tad of sweetness to the sharpness of a dress” or any other fashion design such as hair accessories, shoes or handbags.

Alberta again embraced ruffles for her Fall 2008 collection showing them as accent ruffles on some of her designs. The designer knows what she is talking about when it comes to ruffles since she is widely known and loved for her soft and beautiful fashions.

One of the best investments you can make for your hair right now is to go to the salon for a professional shampoo and blow-out.  Not only will you save money on shampoo, conditioner and related styling products, you will save your precious time on daily hair styling chores.

Cost of Shampoo And Blowout

What does a shampoo and blowout cost?  It depends on the part of the country where you live and whether you go to a high end salon, neighborhood salon, a drive-in style national chain like Cost Cutters or you go to a cosmetology school.

Some hair salons will allow you to wash your hair at home and come in for a blowout only.  When possible you should try to have both the shampoo and blowout done at the same time.

A shampoo and blowout can range in cost, depending on the location of the salon and the length of your hair from a lot (at a cosmo school) from $10-15 to a high of $50-60.  Of course people with special hair needs such as super long hair or extra curly may be charged more.  Continue reading “Hair Blowout – Maintaining It For A Week” »
