Fall 2014 Hair Trend: High Voluminous Chignon

Carolina-Herrera-Fall-2014-hair-buns

This season when it comes to tresses you need to go big or go home! Voluminous, dramatic hairstyles were seen flying down catwalks during various autumn/winter runway shows. The lovely chignon that was created for the Carolina Herrera runway show was bar none. The hair was smoothly pulled back which flowed into a high modern bee-hive up-do. It was a very elegant hairstyle for a beautiful and sophisticated collection. Who knew that simplicity could look so grand?

Fall 2014 Accessories: Wide Brim Hat

Christian-Siriano-AW-2014-hat

If you ever find yourself having a bad hair day usually a hat is the way to go. Not only can they hide the unruly strands beneath, but can make a strong style statement in the process. We loved the wide brim hats that were seen during the Christain Siriano fashion show for his fall/winter 2014 collection. The models looked sleek, modern and oh so demure! If you do not mind bringing straight drama to your ensemble then this style of hat should definitely be added to this season’s wardrobe.

What to Look For in a Dandruff Shampoo

what to look for in a dandruff shampoo

Did you know that your skin renews itself about every 28 days? That’s a lot of skin shedding going on that you probably do not notice very often. Nonetheless, flakes on the scalp can be caused for a number of reasons besides this natural occurrence. Therefore, what can be done to eliminate dandruff?

For one, you will need a shampoo that is well equipped as well as formulated to handle the job. When doing your haircare shopping be sure to include an anti-dandruff shampoo. Before buying flip the bottle over and look for these ingredients:

  • Salicylic Acid
  • Zinc Pyrithione
  • Ketoconazole
  • Selenium Sulfide

Hair Tip Bonus: If you continue to use the same hair products over and over again your hair can develop an immunity to the product’s ingredients and the product will lose it’s effectiveness. To prevent this from happening rotate the brands you use at least once a month.
