Oh to be 5 Again...

For a fun hair tip of the day, if you have a day off (or on a Sunday) take some time to wear pink PJ's and two high pig-tails. Candy is optional but a few cupcakes are mandatory!

Nostalgia is a great thing, and if you're ever just tired of the daily grind and hair to match, take a little time to remember what it was like in a few decades past...then you might like your own style after all!

Oh So Pretty!

And the Winner Is...Rihanna

Last night's Grammy awards was all about glitz and glam but the best look was short and unfussy. Rihanna's short cut with stark edges suited her and it might just suit you...

Angelina Jolie's Hair Tip of the Day

CLICK TO TRY ANGELINA'S LOOK
Angelina Jolie has taught us a lot of things...that if you're hot you can have any man you want, that you can go from unusual to useful and bring attention to some causes along the way, and now she's teaching us that volume is OK.

Today's tip of the day is brought to you by Angie and its not just her who can pull off this sky-high look!

If you have the length (or the extensions!) you too can look super glam. Just remember to down-play your wardrobe and accessories, otherwise you end up looking like you were frozen in the 80's.

They say that pregnancy hair is the most beautiful, and that's certainly been true for Jennifer Lopez.

With her lustrous locks it's no surprise that there's actually TWO on the way!

To celebrate the big announcement that JLo is having twins - her father confirmed it on Spanish television yesterday - we can all try the hairstyle and not worry about the double trouble. If only everything were that easy, congrats JLo!

Snow Style

For all those in the middle of winter, here is a great snow day style (it also works in rainy climates!) that can be both formal and fun, here's today's tip of the day:

For medium to long hair, gather hair in a low poneytail, twisting your hair once and up towards your scalp in an up do. Fasten a hair clip around the twist, adjusting for height based on how much hair you want to leave out.

Here is what the quick style looks like...



And here's the more formal, complete look...

The Dream Hair Tickets

If you're reeling from last night's political results, turn that frown upside down because any of the runner ups could be in the coveted VP spot.

To help you imagine what that might look like, here's some hair-play...

The much hyped Clinton-Obama ticket:



The unlikely but fun-to-play-with McCain-Romney ticket:



Hmmm that actually looks pretty good, see, hair can be as unpredictable as politics!

Bringing "Sexy" Back - To You Hair!

If only Justin Timberlake could bring sexy hair back, but really he doesn't have to.



I recently tried and now swear by Ojon's Restorative Hair Treatment which in recent weeks has taken my bleached, ironed, curled and dried out tresses and turned them into a high-shine commodity.

The clay-like texture turns into a rich oil (just warm it with your hands) that you just comb through your hair. The best part is the spring woods meets new furniture smell (just try it yourself to see what I mean).

Bonus: Oprah is a fan, having named it as one of her "Best Products for Summer" who wouldn't want Oprah's dreamy curls...

I think I'll get my next treatment started right now!

Don't Try This At Home

Tip of the day: work with what you have instead of trying to fight it. Sometimes its fun to wrestle with our natural look and blow-dry the hell out of those unruly curls or super flat hair but generally its a good idea to embrace what you have and use the right products to bring out your best look.

Working against what you've got is about as silly as a puppy with a wig...

Pretty is the New Black

I don't want to be judgemental but there are some hairstyles that don't suit anyone, including the grunge meets haven't-showered-in-months look.



Please let's all agree never to try so hard to be different that we end up with a bad hair day.


TRY THIS ON YOURSELF USING HAIRMIXER

Ahhhh that's more refressing.

A Hair Lesson From Britney Spears

To make my point that your hair is the best indicator of health, wellbeing, and the first sign of fashion savvy I show you exhibit A:

This is not just another jab at Britney, we've ALL been there, roots showing, locks in a mess, maybe we just didn't have it there for the whole world to see. But there's no damage that can't be undone and no hair story that can't be re-written, here's hoping for a turnaround:

Welcome Hair Divas!

This is the inaugural post for what I hope to be the latest hot spot for hair!

That's right, I said HAIR, not fashion (so last year), not diets, not even shoes, but that one lustrous common accessory that we all love to hate.

This blog is dedicated to turning your unloved tresses into the dreamy locks you want with trusted pro (and home grown) tips, tricks and trendiest styles.

I'll hunt the online world to help you (and me!) get the styles we want, the warnings we need, the haircare product info. no one tells you and maybe we might just be the envy of everyone else!

P.S. That's me with all the Hairmixer hairstyles what do you think?
