winter weather hair tips for curls

2011-01-24T21:06:00.000-08:00

howdy, y'all! just want to give a few winter hair tips for curls and other dry hair types.

- try not to shampoo everyday. y'all know i don't use shampoo and feel that it's overrated. shampoo as needed with a mild or moisturizing shampoo (like giovanni), a cleansing conditioner (with astringents like tea tree, rosemary, mint), or use a baking soda paste, on your scalp only.
*if you have flakes in your hair, chances are it is not dandruff, but dry scalp. be nice to your head and don't strip all your oils. also, sometimes an oily scalp is due to your sebaceous (oil) glands trying to keep your scalp from drying out from overshampooing.

- even though it's chilly out, don't use hot water on your hair. but if you can't stop yourself, give your hair a cooler final rinse.

- deep condition at least once a month (giovanni treatment for critically damaged hair). if your hair needs it once a week, then listen to it. ;-)

- use leave-in conditioner whenever you wet your hair. dry hair types tend to always be dry and usually do well with more and more conditioning. you will be amazed at how well it can reduce frizz. (i love giovanni's direct leave-in conditioner)

also, check out naturallycurly.com for more tips on how to make your curls sing for 2011!

happiness, luck, and love,

no more ponytail makes for sexxy hair....

when growing out curls and waves, layers allow your hair to bounce again!

wow. i seriously can't believe that it's already the 19th of july past 9pm. another day has flown by. my summer has found me trying to get work done outside but only being able to stand a few hours of sweat pouring off me. sometimes i still get burned when i wear sunscreen. (huh?) but i've been swimming at the green belt when it has water, and will be going camping for the second time this year. woohoo! i've also gone thru everything i own and i'm totally organized. and i still have so much to do.

and i'm still doing haircuts! my calendar will let you know when i'm available. email me@charlottebelle.com and tell me when you want.

happy summer y'all!

bad ass curl gurls

2009-11-05T12:32:00.001-08:00

anna needed a fun cut after 2 years of just chopping at her curls. it was her idea to do the awesome bangs in to the hairline!

daniella already had a fun asymmetry going, we just made it look even better. rrawrr!

pamela hadn't cut her hair in two years. if you can imagine us starting out with a one-length blanket of hair, this is a beautiful new shape. so exciting!

ps. will try to get better about taking before pics! xoxox

carrie and nathan (two of my best models) got married last month. it was a beautiful, small gathering at foodheads. (if you haven't been to foodheads, it's delicious!)

here are some pictures of carrie. i did her hair and makeup.

also, i wore this dress to the reception after ryan (the clothing and tailor expert at plumage) cut off the sleeves and made it look much better.
