HAIR deux

Tonight went well. It wasn't as structured as I had hoped it would be, but a  lot of the girls had good questions and seemed to have fun while we played with hair and nails.  I hope they were able to take something from it tonight.

Some of the things I wanted to share with them we weren't able to get to for one reason or another. So I thought I would post some of them here and hope that they'll check out this page.  I hope to be able to include some fun (safe) websites they can use to help them in their search for fun styles and cuts/colors and maybe even show a few more styles. 

This site is a good one for help determining what your individual face shape is which will allow you to find haircuts and styles that will help bring out your best features.  Nothing like a great cut to make you feel confident!
I aslo had a girl ask me what I thought she could do to really change up her look.  I gave a few suggestions, but mentioned a website where she could upload her own pic and change the look of her hair with celebrity hair styles,etc.   I gave her the wrong site address and the only one I can find that is still free is this one.  It isn't the best and it doesn't have too many styles or options, but at least she could play around a little.  If you're looking for more options and having access to celeb styles and you don't mind paying a membership fee for a few months, then here are a few more options. Try this one.  This is the whole look with makeup and is very fun to play with.  (Just spent a little more than an hour seeing what I should have done with my makeup for our last family photo!  DANG IT!) I should also mention, this COVERGIRL site doesn't charge anything. 


We wanted to cover nail care too, but weren't able to get to it.  Instead they had fun with doing nail paints on eachother.   One of the best things you can do for your hands, especially during the winter months is MOISTURIZE.  Don't forget your cuticles.  For your hands in general you can use a lotion from bath and bodyworks for a lighter coverage. Or if you need more intensive help, consider something like Neutrogena, or Eucerin.  For your cuticles, you don't have to use a fancy oil like what I use while giving manicures.  You can even use olive/cooking oil  or make your own with one of these recipes, or try something like this.


These are just a few tips and I have plenty more. But for now, I'll leave those for another post! 
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!
