I am NOW a Believer in the Wet-to-Dry Flat Iron

16 05 2008

I must admit that I was very concerned about putting a flat iron on wet hair. All my life I’ve been told that you shouldn’t apply direct heat to wet hair, but I purchased the H2Pro Ceramic Flat Iron and I LOVE it. It works best on towel dried hair, but it definitely dried and straightened my hair. It left my hair soft and very straight. It had lots of body and eliminated the hassle of blow-drying.
I’ll upload the before and after pics this weekend.

Take It All Off…. Your Hair That Is!

15 05 2008

Short hair is where it’s at. Let’s face it ladies, long hair is great to have, but can be hard and tedious to deal with at times. So, naturally this season – lots of women are opting to cut it all off and start brand new. Many Hollywood starlets have decided to go short or stay short recently – my favorite new cuts being Toccara and Tia Mowry.

What’s Your Favorite Celeb Look?

15 05 2008

Jenny McCarthy.jpg
DH Picks Look #1.
It could possibly be the makeup, but Look #2 makes Jenny look much older.
Also, I love the way Look # frames her face.

Halle Berry
DH Picks Look #2.
For obvious reasons, but if you need one, I’ll give it.
Look #2 is the Halle we know and love.
I can’t really get used to the natural, curly look in #1.

Ashley Tisdale
DH Picks Look #2.
The styles in these two pics are very similar, but the color makes all the difference.
Look #2 leaves Ashley looking very washed out.





Hair restoration treatment gets results

15 05 2008

Charlotte, N.C. — A childhood accident left Vonette Chisholm with balding and white scarred skin.

The incident left her feeling “embarrassed” and “different.” Chisholm recently underwent hair restoration surgery.

Hair restoration surgeon Dr. Jerry Cooley with Carolina Dermatology in Charlotte said hair transplants used to mean hair plugs – clusters of hair follicles pulled from the back of the scalp to fill in bald areas.

“The hair follicles can be easily damaged and you won’t get the kind of growth that you would with the follicular unit technique,” Cooley said.

The follicular unit technique requires a microscope and tedious work to separate up to 4,000 hair units per procedure.

First Chisholm’s scarred skin was removed. After her scalp was closed she was given a transplant to create a new hair line. She is happy with the results, saying she would do it again.

“John,” who did not want to be identified by his real name, also underwent the surgery.

Rogaine is often used to thicken existing hair. The pill Propecia prevents more balding in men by targeting a hair loss hormone. Cooley said John had already lost too much hair to be considered for those treatments, so he had a transplant.

The technique created a natural swirled pattern on his crown. Since the procedure, John said he’s been asked if he has lost weight or started working out.

“It’s my hair. It’s just moved around a little,” John said.

Some patients are given a combination of topical medications with surgery to keep the hair they do have while filling in bare spots. Experts said results are best if the patients start treatment during the earliest signs of hair thinning or balding.

Attention Fantasia!!

14 05 2008

Here Ye! Here Ye! I hereby declare that a full head of hair of the redish origin is forever banned. There will be no exceptions to this ban.

It is written that this law has been amended to include celebrities. You too are ban from wearing any color in your hair that matches a Kool-Aid packet.

Fergie hair
DH picks look #2.
Fergie has GREAT features and she’s hiding them behind her hair in look #1.

Lauren Conrad

Let’s be real, we’ve seen the tape Kim.
But seriously, stick with #2, you have Reggie Bush for pete’s sake.





Nick Cannon & Mariah’s Wedding FINALLY Makes Sense

13 05 2008

Here are some pics of the couple out last night. I’ve been wondering how this wedding went down. It makes a bit more sense to me now. Obviously he drugged the dear old soul and threw the ring on her finger. That or she’s dead and he plays music to get her going like Weekend at Bernie’s, lol.
