Happy New [Y]hair!

Hopefully you plan on ringing in the new year with sparkles, sequins, and friends this time around.  If this is the case, however, you probably have given more thought to your outfit than your hair. Chances are you picked out quite the outfit; maybe its a sparkly top or perhaps you put the focus on

Taming of the Tresses

The holidays are officially upon us. You may not be able to relax, but that doesn’t mean your hair shouldn’t! Perhaps you have seen the magical effects of the relaxation process first hand at salons; if you haven’t, chances are you have seen the after-effects on someone without even knowing it. Relaxing the hair makes

Streak Freak

When I mention dark hair with a dramaticly light highlight, two people should come to mind. Stacy London from TLC’s ‘What Not to Wear’ and 101 Dalmatians’ Cruella De Vil.  Both instances are, perhaps, equally unfortunate if you ask me. However, if we take the inverse of that hair-fiasco-trend, we come up with something pretty and

The Polar XPress

Hear that? Bells are ringing and carolers are singing.  Things are pretty crazy around this time of year.  You may be so caught up in holiday shopping and all the other chaos December brings that you have lost sight of yourself! Don’t let this be the case; there are still those holiday/new year photos you

Go Dye-Hard Bold This Winter

With the new year right around the corner, talk of new years resolutions is as rampant as it is unrealistic (sorry, folks- it’s no secret the gym clears out by January 15th).  A far more conquerable goal, perhaps, is to go bright. Sure; this past year, Rhianna may have found love, but all we want for

Relax with Wax

Sure, it’s a struggle for most of us to remember what we had for dinner last night, but if we take a second to look even further back, say-the ancient times, we can learn a lot about impeccable skin treatments. Forget the men of Athens; don’t worry, we won’t be suggesting that anyone drench themselves

Middle Parts Take Center Stage

What do North Dakota, a freshman girl at a frat party, Lindsay Lohan, and middle parts all have in common? A bad reputation.  Unlike Lindsey Lohan, though, middle parts can be a simple, classy, and trendy choice this winter. Tyra Banks once referred to her forehead as a “five finger” forehead.  Well guess what, my

Up, Down, and In the Middle Dos

Special occasions are-well-special.  They usually involve getting to see plenty of people, and of course getting dressed up!  Equally as fun, however, is dressing up your hair.  More often than not, special occasions are well documented with tons of photos so you have no choice but to look your best.  Whether it’s a formal dance,

Lights Out for Winter

With  surprisingly mild Fall temperatures, some of us Pittsburgh-ers  may be finding ourselves quite adapted to the mid fifties and the sunshine.  Don’t let that fool you, though.  It is officially December! And we know what that means- sweaters, gloves, hats, scarves and most importantly: new seasonal hues for your hair.  It is officially time

No Split Decision Here!

As we near  the end of one year and look optimistically to the next, people tend to start talking about all this “trimming your waist” nonsense.  If you ask me, however, ‘optimism’ and ‘trim your waist’ in the same sentence will never happen.  The only trimming I’m going to promote is the kind you can
