Misikko.com – 5 Ways To Add Shine

I think everyone’s secret desire is to look like one of those gorgeous models in the shampoo commercials. They have perfectly flowing shiny hair and make it seem like they just get up and go. In reality, not everyone wakes up with naturally shiny hair.

There are many different ways to achieve shiny hair at home. Whether it comes from a product you can buy in your local drug store, or a product you can find in your own refrigerator, we have the tips to help you out.

Cold Water * The Right Shampoo * Proper Diet * Brush Your Hair * Vinegar

Real Hair: Curly, Frizzy, Unruly Kid’s Hair Tricks

Q: My daughter is 9 years old. She has blonde naturally wavy/curly hair. It is very odd. In the front top layer it looks straight and then as the hair goes back it gets curlier and kinkier. It is very dry and repels moisture. Alos, it has a lot of frizz. She is white, but she almost has the texture of an African American’s hair. Her hair does not ever get oily though. We have tried every product on her hair. (So it seems) I am getting very exasperated and her self esteem is dwindling. The girls at school are not so nice to her no matter how hard she tries to fit in. She thinks it is because she looks unkept all of the time because of her hair. Her hair reminds me of surfer hair or maybe even Janis Joplin hair. Do you have any suggestions on how I can help her? I wouldlove to embrace her waves and curls, but I will straighten it if I have to. Thanks!

A: I’m most excited about this question, because THIS is the essence of Discoveringhair. I just partnered with a company today that might be the answer to your prayers! Check out Curls. They are an ethnic hair care company whose purpose is to deliver quality products that cater to the unique needs of today’s multi-ethnic market. It is the first line of hair care products truly created specifically for biracial/multiracial women and girls with naturally curly hair. Interestingly enough, they have a GREAT article on Biracial Curly Hair Tips. By FAR the most informative information I could find online.

Best of luck!!

TLC’s What Not To Wear Gives Nick Arrojo the Snip?!

This one popped up and I had to spread it fast. Say it isn’t so! According to WWD, Nick Arrojo is being replaced by celebrity hair stylist Ted Gibson in order to keep the show “fresh.”. I agree Nick tends to repeat the same styles, but he’s by far one of the best colorist I’ve seen! He’s just not that much of a “finisher.” I was JUST having a discussion about how I’d love for him to do my hair and then I read that he’s being replaced!

I will definitely miss Nick and I hope that Ted has a personality to match his fresh styles. Nick Arrojo’s personality and honesty are two things I loved most!

I must admit that I’m excited about a new stylist and I hope that he can bring some fresh, fun, and FUNKY styles to the set! Ted Gibson has worked with celebrities such as Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Kiera Knightly and others. Appointments with the hair guru can cost up to $900! I reckon he won’t get his hands on these tresses! Click for more info.

About Ted (Courtesy of http://www.tedgibsonsalon.com/meetted.php):

“Ted Gibson has an intuitive, almost magical way of manipulating hair and his warm, engaging personality trickles down to the salon’s famously down-to earth atmosphere. Through his daily interactions styling celebrities and models for iconic magazines like Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, and Allure, Ted is tuned into what women want. “I really listen to what they have to say,” says Ted. “I cut hair with sensibility and ease so that my clients leave with a refreshed style without necessarily feeling like they’ve had all their hair cut off.”

Ted Gibson is one of the most sought-after celebrity hairstylists in the beauty business today. His multi-faceted career as a fashion, runway, editorial and celebrity stylist continues to take him around the world where he finds great beauty in exploring different cultures. Previously exclusive to just A-list celebrity clientele such as Angelina Jolie, Gabriella Union, Renee Zellweger, Keira Knightly and Anne Hathaway; Ted is now available for appointments at the ted gibson salon in New York City and D.C. Ted has also launched a prestige haircare collection, ted gibson beauty that is available at target.com. Both his haircare and body care collection provide the perfect regimen to help women find their true, individual beauty with the hair they were born with.

Born in Texas and raised in a military family, Ted has moved from one exotic place to the next. His cosmopolitan lifestyle of having lived in places such as Germany, Hawaii and Japan has opened up a new world for Ted. At an early age, he learned to appreciate the beauty and diversity of different cultures. Women around the world inspire him and he wants nothing less than for every woman to experience inspiration for herself. ?Orchids are the MOST beautiful flowers in the world,? says Gibson. “Like the women I encounter, they are inspiring, beautiful and evoke a sexiness which I believe every woman possesses. It is precisely these orchids that are essential ingredients in my beauty products.

Today, Ted divides his time between working with his clients, mentoring the ted gibson salon staff and creating new products to meet the needs of his clientele.”

Apparently, the change-a-roo happens this Friday, July 24th.

Hair Icon: Cyndi Lauper + Lil Kim “Sings” SMH

It dawned on me today that I have neglected to blog about another hair/fashion icon Cyndi Lauper. Cyndi recently performed with Lil Kim and reminded me that we haven’t discussed her yet. I won’t even discuss Kim’s singing – she’s dressed and doing something positive, so I’ll leave her alone. BUT it’s definitely worth watching and I’ll leave it at that.. smh!

Cassie, LaLa, and Rihanna are rocking the shaved style that I originally attributed to Kelis, but Cyndi was clearly rocking it first in her Time After Time video.

Here are a few more shots of Cyndi’s style. Cyndi Lauper’s style has influenced the likes of Gwen Stefani, Pink, and more!

Katherine Heigl Shows Off Her Dark Side

Katherine Heigl is as known for her classic blonde beauty as she is for her outspoken ways, so when she arrived at the premiere of her new film The Ugly Truth last night, we were thoroughly surprised to see her with dark brown hair! The color sets off her chocolate brown eyes and looked lovely with her soft taupe Lanvin dress, but we can’t help but miss the blonde already! Tell us: What do you think of Katherine’s new dark hair? Do you love it or hate it?

Ciara Chops It All Off ?! HMMM

Last night Ciara sent out a few Tweets that she was cutting her hair. Then she graced us with a Twitpic. IDK world, I’m not buying it. I can’t see her making the big chop. Pretty sure this is a wig! To be honest, I’ve gotta see it a few more times before it gets the stamp of approval. We already had some “questions” and this look is NOT helping. Anyhoo, I welcome change, so I’ll give it a try. Stay tuned for more pictures.

Fab Friday: Adrienne Bailon Goes Dark

Adrienne Bailon shows us her dark side and is rocking a FAB dark look and bangs. Already beautiful, but DEFINITE upgrade!
