| Sexy Curly Hair |
Curls, tussles, waves, twists are back bigger than ever! Trend setting Celebrities like Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, and Alicia Keys at the Grammy wore sexy curls. Even Justin Timberlake did - but he can't help it.
It's a matter of convenience, less time doing your hair and more time having fun. Girls just want to have fun!
Prepare and get those curls bouncing, they're in!
For a loose sexy style curl scrunch your hair using LOREAL Natures Therapy Perfect Curls Defining Spray Gel. If you mix a little silk serum to soften, that's fine. Flip your head entirely over when scrunching. Try to bunch the hair in handfuls and keep the heat flowing between your fingers through your hair. After it's dry let it stay and cool for a minute, then flip it up.
To create loose curls, use GOLDWELL Trendline Shine Wax Extreme Shineon the ends, if you want it to hold go in and curl with your finger any piece that did not curl so well, use some hairspray. If you want just a little wave use GOLDWELL Trendline Shine Wax Extreme Shine from root to end.
If you want moving bouncing curls, invest in some hot rollers like Helen of Troy Hot Setter (Model:1321). Take the rollers out and before putting any product on it piece out the curls one by one. If you want a tighter curl, spray a little hairspray before wrapping the the hair on the roller. Spray LOREAL Natures Therapy Perfect Curls Defining Spray Gel on your hair, not the roller itself.
If you already have natural curly or wavy hair, lucky you; just remember to visit your stylist and get some long layers to revamp your curl. The same products apply in your case.

| GiGi Bikini Waxing |
Have you ever wondered what your girlfriend was talking about when she came home from a new salon... you nod as if you knew what she was saying, but to embaressed to ask what in the world she was talikng about. Well here is a brief summary of all those exotic waxing techniques you are too curious about. Technically speaking there are four types of bikini waxes. (1) The Bikini Wax - Hair is removed from outside the panty line. (2) The Brazilian Bikini Wax - Leaves a vertical stripe in front, two to three fingers in width. Hair is not removed from the labia. Hair is removed from the tush. Hair may be removed from the butt crack if woman wishes. (3) The Playboy Bikini Wax - All hair is removed from the labia, all hair is removed from the butt, including the butt crack and only a very narrow strip is left in the front. Named after Playboy magazine because thats what you see on the models in Playboy. (5) The Full Bikini Wax - All hair is removed. Everywhere. Everything. Bald. The Brazilian Bikini Wax method is currently very popular and is offered in many salons and skincare clinics. If you are considering waxing as a do-it-yourself project, a consultation with a professional is advised beforehand. We strongly recommend doing as much research as possible to determine if this method should be attempted at home. We are not suggesting that a "Playboy Bikini Wax" job can be done on ones own body nor are we recommending that one even attempt this procedure.

| Get Hot Hair this Winter |
Winter 2006 is all about accenting your look with color says Kenny Yuen, Creative Director at Westbourne Grove's popular Gina Conway Aveda Lifestyle Salon.
Kenny Yuen said autumn brought a deepening of summer's vibrant hues and winter will usher in colors that are even deeper still.
"Blondes should add ribbons of medium to dark brown to update for the winter season while brunettes can enrich their color by adding pieces of deep mahogany or rich velvet browns."
"The key to winter hair is not to have too much contrast but enough to create drama," Kenny said.
Kenny also said hair styles are becoming more classic this winter so bobs and fringes (whether short or full) will be popular amongst fashion-led females.
"And you can put the straightening irons to the side as volume and curls are here to stay."
For the gents, Kenny recommends staying away from the classic short back and sides and opting for a longer, more groomed style.
"In my opinion, men should be growing their hair longer or opting for the other extreme and choosing a short, shaved style," Kenny said.
