Cosmetic Innovations / Nano Technology

Cosmetic Innovation was all the rage in the 20th century and continue's to be a driving force in the 21st. Today's technology is turning beauty salons into spa's and our everyday salon products (shampoo's, conditioners, styling aids) into "Spa-Like-Treatments " and Nano-Technology is leading the way.

In Principle Nano-technology Can:

• Maximize color retention 
• Dramatically improves hair condition
• Provides thermal and color protection
• Dramatically rebuilds and repairs damaged hair
• Repair, restore moisturize and strengthen
• Speeds up drying time up to 75% faster

 Watch for ..."Nano On The Label".

 

Nanotechnology - Nanotechnology has been used in cosmetics since the early 1990s but it was only during the last decade that marketers caught on and started using it to improve personal care products. The technology is promising but questions about safety have led to a backlash that could short circuit widespread use.

Today Nanotechnology is currently used mostly in sunscreen however I think shampoo, hair color and conditioning treatments will all benefit from this budding technology in the near future.Nano Beauty a trend to watch

Reese Witherspoon / Star Hair Style

Drawing inspiration from the hair style trends of our favorite stars and celebrities has become a national pass time. One such star whose hair style is emulated by young women around the globe is Hollywood sweet heart Reese Witherspoon. This Southern Bell knows how to “walk the style line” in a stylish grown up way. Her million dollar smile, adorable dimples and “legally blonde” hair color is irresistible to men attracted to the feminine Southern Bell type and quiet the catch for those dudes that go for all things blond.

TO GET THE LOOK:  Are you up for a colorful ultra feminine color and style?  If that’s the case, take a hair styling lesson from Reese Witherspoon. Her blonde sometimes straight and wavy locks with side-swept bangs frame her heart shaped face perfectly. This Southern Bell hairdo’ is a “show stopper”. So be prepared to stop men dead in their tracks when you strut by with your “legally blonde” hair style. To get the look, let’s take it one step at a time; starting with a style cut and shaping. 

LET'S SHAPE IT:  To get the look, start with a shoulder length or longer silhouette with full or side swept brow bangs and face framing layer’s starting just below the chin. This versatile style gives you both a dressy or casual look and complements most face shapes, especially those with angular features like Reese’s. With a few adjustments (trims & tweaks) as it grows you can find the ideal length for your face shape, features and style.

LET'S STYLE IT:  For style support, start with a puff of your favorite styling mousse or spray gel or nothing at all.  Comb either through damp hair, tip your head forward and give it a quick tousle with your blow dry for shape and volume. After, if your locks look a bit dry or frizzy, a dab of styling cream will tame it. For a dressy look, a quick turn around a large barrel styling iron or a handful of jumbo rollers and a light brushing or finger comb and your good to go. To turn up the glam, add earrings, glossy lip stick, eye liner and shadow, a square tip French manicure and you’ve got Reese Witherspoon’s star style. 

NOW, LETS COLOR IT: Actress’s change their hair color often for the many roles they play and Reese’s is no exception. Her colorful locks are given a warm pale golden blonde hue with a high lift tint to define the shape. For a bit more pizzazz, Flaxen blonde highlights and contrasting Nutmeg low lights are sprinkled around the face with a foil weaving technique. After a clear glaze seals-in the color and turns up the shine. To keep the blonde hue fresh and vibrant a "color enhancing blonde shampoo" is used weekly. This colorful work of art will cost a few extra Paso’s but it’s a small price to pay for all the attention you’ll get. And after all, aren’t you worth it? 

Reese Witherspoon’s colorful style is a work of art and a thing of beauty to behold. This versatile ultra-feminine do’ is perfect for your “time challenged” life style. All it takes is a quick tousle with your blow dry, a few turns around your styling iron for a causal look or a handful of jumbo rollers and you’re ready for any occasion. The warm golden blonde hue and face framing highlights let’s everyone know this stunning blonde is not one of those “home color job”.  So be prepared for your girl friends to scream OMG your so glam and that special someone’s heart to skip a beat when you show up with this “legally blonde Southern Bell” style.
