PRODUCT for Your Purse

Posted on September 22nd, 2008 by Amanda  |  Comments Off

This morning I tried a new product called – The Name Is Product. I washed my hair and styled it last night but I woke up with some unruly strands. Instead of rewashing and restyling 12 hours later, I dabed a little bit of Product in my hands and then gently spread from root to tip.

How do I look?
The Name is Product is an organic pomade that only consists of five natural ingredients – Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and 100% natural Tangerine Oil. (I love things that are good for my hair!) It comes in a 1.5 oz. jar so it’s easy to throw in your purse. In fact, I have dinner plans tonight and will probably apply some Product beforehand to make sure my hair looks tip-top! For more info or to purchase, go to thenameisproduct.com.
Oh yeah, The Name is Product is for men too!

Big Hair Rusty

Posted on September 22nd, 2008 by Amanda  |  2 Comments »

Meet my dog Rusty. He uses special shampoo that his vet gave me. Rusty turns 6 years old tomorrow and is in major need of a trim! But every time I take him to the groomers they shave him and make him look like King Tritan (after he gets his powers stripped by Ursula). I love his big curly hair but apparently his stylist does not. Does anyone have tips on how to stop your groomer from shaving your dog?

Rusty – Hairy and Happy!

Rusty – Not so happy with his haircut.

I’m sure all of you Shear Genius fans, like myself, are wondering what’s next for Dee Adames of Miami. Lucky for us, The Sun-Sentinel got to interview Dee on her big plans. Turns out the famed stylist is now opening her own salon in South Miami and leaving her friends at Peter of London Hair Salon & Spa in Kendall behind. 

What’s Dee’s single most important tip she can offer us? “Moisturizing treatments, intense hydrating moisturizing treatments.” Read the rest of the interview here. And if you ever make an appointment with Dee, let us know how it goes. We’re curious!

I was reading The Cut, catching up on my daily hairtorial (get it? like editorial), when I came across some banging hot pictures of model Karlie Kloss sporting fabulous big hair. These pics are from the September issue of Dazed & Confused. Can you believe she’s only 16 years old?

A Great Site for Hair Ornaments

Posted on September 18th, 2008 by Amanda  |  Comments Off

Last night I was doing some online shopping. Ok, I didn’t buy anything so I guess it was online window shopping. But, I came across this great site called France Luxe. They have every kind of hair accessory you could ever want from headbands, to barrettes to decorative ponytail holders or as I call them hairties. Their stuff isn’t cheap but most of their ornaments are handcrafted. Good news is that they have a buy three, get one free deal and a whole section for products under $15. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Welcome to the Neighborhood

Kohl’s is opening up six stores in South Florida on October 1st, according to the South Florida Business Journal. We checked out their website and not only do they carry hair accessories and styling tools, they also carry hair products.

This cute Vera Wang Split Headband is only $5.
You can also buy a diffuser for less than $25 bucks. I am going to have to remember this the next time my monster blow dryer breaks (fingers crossed this doesn’t happen anytime soon).

Animal Print Hats

Posted on September 17th, 2008 by Amanda  |  Comments Off

I was flipping through the October Elle Magazine when I started to notice a new fall trend – Leopard (or Cheetah, who can tell the difference?) print hats. 
I saw two ads featuring these animal print hats and I hadn’t even reached the first real article. The one on the left is from DKNY and the one on the right is from Ralph Lauren. I went on their websites to find how how much these babies cost and I couldn’t find either one for sale! What’s going on here? Is this something the celebs get to try out first before the public can purchase? I must say though, if I lived in a city which actually had seasons, I’d probably sport one of these.
