Reduce Blow Dry Time with Healing Oil Treatment

Millie — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:17:11 +0000

We just got some interesting time-saving information from Macadamia Natural Oil on how using the Healing Oil Treatment literally reduces drying time. Since we’re all so busy these days, what woman wouldn’t want to save some time while blowing out her hair?

Macadamia Oil is rich in Omega 7 and therefore mimics our bodies own natural oil. Macadamia Natural Oil uses only the finest ingredients consisting of a superior blend of macadamia nut oil and argan oil which cuts down drying time.

Here’s how:
The hair shaft is made up of three layers, the cuticle, the medulla, and the cortex. The cuticle layer of a single hair shaft is the outermost layer and resembles scales on a fish. More often than not, water gets trapped under these ” scales” and this is what takes hair so long to dry. If you filled this space with a healthy, rich, lightweight and super absorbent oil, the water will avoid the area since we all know water and oil don’t mix. As a result the water being dried is the surface water only and precisely how drying time is cut in half.

Save My Hair…Olive Oil- for Dry Hair

Millie — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:06:08 +0000

I have done multiple posts on using Olive Oil as part of your hair remedy. Overall, there are many different home remedies you can try and most of them do not take long to make.

They are natural and so they are gentle on your hair, and your hair will really appreciate the lack of chemicals!

The Olive Oil hair mask is created by using 5 tablespoons of olive oil with two eggs. Mix them both together and apply them to the hair, wrapping the hair in a plastic wrap or a shower cap. Allow it to stand for 15 minutes before thoroughly rinsing it off.

What is your remedy for dry hair?

Healthy Hair…BioSilk Beach Texture

Millie — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 22:05:27 +0000

Get the sexy, tousled look, with out that dried out look…BioSilk’s Beach Texture is an inexpensive solution. Tousled hair is still HOT, especially in the summer!

Plus, you don’t have to use the hair dryer, so this is a great way to help your hair heal from all of that “sun-kissed” highlighting you have done. I have always liked BioSilk’s scent and light feeling. This product does what it says and doesn’t cost much. Amazon.com has it for $10.80. Enough to last the rest of the summer

BioSilk Beach Texture contains natural silk, vitamins and texturing salts all formulated to give you the look everyone is after. I also love the BioSilk Therapy for a smoother look…

Cool Summer Hair Style… Show off your (Hair) Buns!

Millie — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 19:49:06 +0000

Despite the humid NYC Summers, you still want to look hot, right? I love the Summer, but my hair doesn’t. This Summer go and get yourself some good pony tails, some hair spray, some bobby pins and throw that mop up in a high bun!

For some extra glamour add a black headband. Jessica Alba looks beautiful with this high bun/black headband combo.

Easy, breazy, fabulous… Really you will look hot, while keeping cool. Clever you say… Here’s an extra tip:

Add deep conditioner to your locks and leave it in all day. So long as your hair is piled up in that bun, you might as well be getting your shine on!

Mucho Gusto Rodolfo Valentin!

Millie — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:35:01 +0000

Located next to Hermès on Madison Avenue in New York City, the Rodolfo Valentin Salon is a hidden gem, exclusive to the elite, or so I thought. I was invited to the salon for a hair cut with the master himself and couldn’t wait!
Walking in you realize you are entering his world, one of beauty and glamour. He and his staff offer the crème de la crème in customer service, talent and they are all calienté (hot)!
After I get my hair washed by an El Salvadorian import, I finally get to meet Rodolfo Valentin…in the flesh!
Rodolfo is not only regarded as one of the most talented hair stylists in the world, he also wins multiple awards each year to further prove his talent. He loves his salon in NYC & Long Island (which is 10,000 sq. ft.) and is passionate about his charity.
Named after his mother, Sofia’a Hair for Health is a project he holds near and dear.
I saw women of all ages with Cancer, thanking him for hair extensions and wigs that made them look amazing and feel healthy and beautiful again!
I had so much fun getting my own hair cut (as you can see from the picture my hair looked fabulous)! I fell in love with Rodolfo who even shared his secret to a tight stomach with me (“suck it in…always”).

Check out the website for the full menu Rodolfo Valentin Salon and Spa offers. You will be happy you did… As a New Yorker I felt like I discovered yet another reason to love New York. Thank you Rodolfo!

Now go visit the salon…tell them SocialButterflySalon sent you!
