As Seasons Change, So Does Your Hair: The Advantages of "Going Pro"

Capricio — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 02:27:37 +0100

Let's face it- we've all experimented with box colors and over-the-counter hair dye. More than likely, it didn't turn out as you'd expect...in fact, it was probably more of a mess than before you colored it!

As we approach Spring (and hopefully a warm Summer!), many men and women choose to update their haircolor to relect the season. Brunettes get warm, caramel highlights, blondes go from Read More...

Slimming a Full Face

Capricio — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 01:59:57 +0100

The first rule for slimming down a fuller face is to style the hair away from the face. This will open up your face, cheekbones and eyes, and will expose the jawline instead of hiding it (as hair hanging down at the sides might do). For example, if you have bangs, break them up in pieces or strands rather than wearing them straight across.

When it comes to length, I generally prefer styles that go to theRead More...

Hair Myths

Myth No. 1: Cutting Hair Makes It Grow Faster and/or Thicker

False. Shorter hair often looks and feels thicker but cutting your hair won’t alter its normal biologically determined growth rate or overall texture. Thin, limp or fine hair will not ever grow thicker in response to a haircut. Plump up your hair by using volume enhancing hair care products, experimenting with a hair fattening blunt cut or gettRead More...

What causes color fading, and how do you prevent it?

Capricio — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 01:28:30 +0100

There are two common causes for color fading: using a shampoo that contains harsh sulfates and a high concentration of salt or exposure to environmental elements like the sun's UVA and UVB rays. Some of the most popular drug store products-even those designated for colored hair- may cause color fading, and even when you're indoors the sun can cause color to oxidize, thus resulting in a faded, dull look.
