Hair Nets, Not just For Lunch Ladys.

When you hear the words hair net what is the first thing you think of? For me it's the stereotypical lunch lady. Not exactly what one would associate with beauty or stylish. But after playing around I think I have found a new appreciation for the hair net

Review, Precision Foam Color from John Frieda. (I'm a Red Head)

I like to shake things up every now and then so I decided to go red. Even though I have done it before and the upkeep for red hair is notoriously a pain. There is just something about being a red head that makes me feel saucy. They say blonds have more fun but I’m convinced it’s red heads. You defiantly get noticed more as a red head. It's funny friends and even my mother said that I should of 
been born a red head.

This hair color was really easy to use. All you needed to do was squeeze the foam into your hand and apply to the hair, there was no fiddling with special applicators. The foam formula does a great job at saturating all the hair unlike cream formulas that don’t soak through to all the hair leaving splotches. I loved the provided gloves, which were black latex or vinyl gloves that fit well and were sturdy. Sometimes I find that with hair the provided gloves feel like plastic sandwich bags and are always way to big.

The only problem that occurred was that I started off with bleached blond hair which did not absorb the color well and let my hair with a pink tint. I ended up applying another bottle, and with the second bottle my hair finally absorbed the color.  So note if you’re starting as a light blond going for the 6R light red brown you may need to do it twice. Blonds, especially bleached blonds have very little pigment in the hair for the color to grab onto.

I would also do this in a well ventilated place the color has a lot of fumes to it and can be pretty strong.

French twist Up-do with spin pin

French twist Up-do with spin pin

I have been waiting to try theses for a while and was excited to see them in my local store so I picked them up.  I was not disappointed with the pins. They come in colors for both blonds and brunets. The pins hold hair well for everyday wear. I would not suggest them to hold your hair up with vigorous activity like running, but for everything else they are great. They make a French twist supper easy; where with regular bobby pins it may take 20 bobby pins to hold, a French twist only needs 2 Spin Pins. They are also really nice for regular or even messy buns.  

      The Spin Pins corkscrew shape works much like a screw, righty tighty lefty losey. With any hairdo using them I like to face them pointing in towards my head and twist then turn them and twisting into the hairdo. I find this leaves the hairdo very secure.The pins hide in the hair well and are basically invisible.

1. Gather your hair at the nape of your neck (no ponytail holder needed).
2. Twist your hair into a tight bun and tuck in the ends.
3. Spin one pin in from the top and the other up from the base, taking care not to interlock pins.    (Directions given by the Spin Pin packaging)
