Sometimes Its Just All About The Hair!

Sometimes a girl wants a change with her hair but doesn't want to have to chop it off to change the look. I have longer hair and I wanted to stay on top of trying to achieve different looks with my length without having to have a massive haircut. Hair can make or break a look... and lets face it, its just as good as any great accessory out there!! My blog today is about how to step out of your hair rut and create fun looks for Spring. Before I continue lets talk about the basics, the first important step to the health of your hair is you must always stay on top of a good trim. I recommend every six weeks. This will get rid of those split ends and overall give a healthier shape and look to you hair. Shampooing and having a great conditioner for your hair type is a must! Any time you are using heated tools to your hair make sure you put on a thermal heat protector. This is important as it will create an invisible protective shield prior to styling. If you can handle not washing your hair everyday I would highly suggest it. When we wash so much we are stripping our natural oils from our hair, these natural oils are our built in conditioners.( For those that dont have to wash a lot good thing "GYM HAIR" is in...picture below.) I always do a day in between and on my off day I will wear my hair up or use dry shampoo. I will list several go to products that I have used and love at the end of my blog. If you can go even longer in between that's great! I have pulled pics from the Spring/Summer fashion runways 2012 that any hair enthusiast can be willing to try. The looks range from the "Top Knot," "Gym Hair," "Wrap It Up," "Center Part," "Side Part," and "The Retro." There are many celebrities that are doing the "HeadBand Braid" as well as the pony tail look, it can be sleek or high and wavy. The options are endless!! The key is finding what best suits you. Remember always have fun in whatever you do with your looks its all about self expression!! Happy hair DO-ing!!!!  XOXOXO  Beauty Brow Maven @ Damone Roberts Beverly Hills

Spring POPS of color!!!

Spring is around the corner....what does that mean?!?! Shedding those layers of clothing, bright fun colors, birds chirping, and sunshine baby!! I wanted to write about how you can incorporate fun pops of color to your Spring wardrobe and makeup without breaking the bank. The look for Spring 2012 ranges from floral, bright neon to the emeralds. Sky is the limit with all the fun colors and patterns! Here are some ideas......
- Experiment with colors on the lids, with shadow or liners. From aquas, greens, to purples. You can place a swipe of shadow on the lid and shadow it a little over the crease or play around with the colored liners and line the top of your lid or wing it out.
-You can also add pops of color on the lips…from red to neon pinks and oranges. This is an easy way to add color in a playful way. When doing this let your lips be the focal point of the face. Keep the rest of the face a little neutral if this is something new for you. If you are an experienced vixen feel free to add light color other places. Whichever you choose be sure to OWN your look!
-Bright colors or pastels on your finger nails can make a statement.
-Shoes, Shoes, Shoes! Add fun with a pair of shoes. If you don't want to invest in a whole Spring wardrobe a bright colored pair of shoes or sandals will keep you on trend. Lets be honest, you can never have too many shoes!!  ;)
-A purse and jewelry accessories are another way to add pizazz.
 What ever you decide always remember to be true to yourself, that alone will make you "SHINE" for  SPRING!   XOXO Beauty Brow Maven @Damone Roberts Beverly Hills
