Should I Color My Hair at Home?
Hair Quickie: Should I color my hair at home? If, you are looking to do a major color change to your tresses it is always best to get it done professionally.
You will want to seek a hair stylist for color if:
1. Your hair is damaged- You never want to inflict more hair pain.
2. Hair is relaxed- Applying chemicals upon chemicals should not be taken lightly. Let a professional do it right so that your hair stays healthy.
3. Plan on going lighter/darker by 3 shades- This is a drastic change and you may not successfully get the look you want out of a store bought bottle.
Therefore, little color changes such as covering gray hairs to blend with your natural hair tint may be done at home, but bigger jobs should always be done by a professional colorist.
How Often Should I Relax My Hair?
Hair Quickie: How often should I relax my hair? That is an excellent question, but one rule of thumb is to go by hair length. If locks are fashioned in a shorter style, relaxing more often may be necessary to keep your look in place. However, for longer lengths it is recommended to allow 6-12 weeks in-between relaxer treatments.
Beauty Foods: Strawberries
Beauty Quickie: While scientists continue to search for the fountain of youth, for now eating right can do wonders for your beauty health. Eating strawberries will help protect the collagen structure of your skin. Collagen is very important since that is what helps keep skin tight and firm. Therefore, eat healthy and your skin shall stay youthful!
Spring Clean Makeup Brushes
Beauty Quickie: Spring clean makeup brushes by using a combination of olive oil as well as your favorite shampoo.
Step 1: Coat brushes in olive oil to help break down the various cosmetic components attached to the brushes.
Step 2: Next, apply a small amount of shampoo to the coated brushes, lathering well then rinse.
It is recommended that you cleanse your makeup tools at least once a week.
