Myth 1: You can't a fashionable hair do and make up in less then 1/2 hour. WRONG!!!!

Myth 2: My hair is awful and nobody knows how to cut it. WRONG!!!

Myth 3: Skin care routines are too time consuming and don't really help any way. WRONG!!!

Myth 4: Good skin care costs too much money. WRONG!!!

Myth 5: Wearing a lot of make up just makes people look fake. WRONG!!!

Hair: First and most important is that a good hair dresser is worth their weight in Gold. Not to be critical but Supercuts, Great Clips, these types of chain stores will not provide a quality hair cut as a rule. There is always the exceptions but don't live by the exceptions live by the rules. Look for a salon that has an established clintel and take recommendations from your friends who have good hair cuts.

Here are some other tips for getting a good hair cut.

• Your hair dresser should be in the age range of 22-40 so that he or she is up to date on the latest hair trends, styles and techniques.



• Look for a hairdresser that has been styling for more then 3 years. This does not include beauty school or assisting time.



• Don't switch hairdressers often, let that hair dresser get to know you and your hair. Even if the first cut is not perfect. Give a hairdresser two chances.



• Your hairdresser is not a mind reader! Bring LOTS of pictures in of the hair cut you want along with pictures of the color you want. This helps the hair dresser visualize what you are visualizing.



• Look for hair styles that fit your lifestyle and personal hair dressing skills.

When looking for a Shampoo remember that not all shampoos are created equal. Expensive salon brand shampoos are more concentrated and have less additives creating softer and shinier hair. I have used Redkin for years and I love it. Bedhead is another good brand. I have found that shampoos like Pantene and Finesse tend to weigh the hair down and build up like soap scum in your hair. My Redkin Shampoo costs $24 for the large bottle and I have to replace it every 9 months, I wash my hair 3 times a week so that shampoo costs me $.22 a wash. 25oz of Pantene usually costs about $8.50, one bottle used to last me 3-4 months which means that it is really the same cost... Always look at COST PER USE not cost.

When you are styling your hair look for details...If you are going to "pony up" with a ponytail then make it a stylish ponytail. If you are going to wear it straight and down why not try an inexpensive head band. I have always found that a 1920's hair style and fashion looks good on me so I take a lot of inspiration from that. I usually wear head bands, barretts and bows that fit that look. You can do the same, look through the decades and look for inspiration from styles of that decade. (Don't pick the 80's though....it was a bad time for hair)
