As an individual obsessed with the latest trends in hair color, cut, and style, I am always looking to the latest products to help give my hair the look that the celebrities like Jessica Simpson have.
And with big hair trends creeping up in the fashion and beauty world lately, I was excited to learn of Cibu International’s latest volumizing line of products– “Shang High.” As a woman with thick but not voluminous hair, I have been searching for a product to lift my locks without making them greasy, and the Shang High collection has seemed to be that product!

I love visiting my hairdresser June for a good ‘ol flat iron run-through. She has always smoothed it out with the greatest of ease, and never fails to be amused by me afterwards. Hello – don’t you like to flip your hair over your shoulders in slow motion like those Pantene commercials? OK, well maybe that’s just me.

( “Me with rocker hair — wild and without the use of my flat iron!”)
Really though, for years I just couldn’t straighten my hair myself, nor would I even dare try to do so in the Southern California summertime heat. My mom and I have different hair texture (my mother is Caucasian), so using her cute curling iron back then barely did the trick. Had I known that having the right type of flat iron actually matters, I could have saved nearly $2,500!!! That is the amount I spent on my hair for two years wearing long braids, which was basically my way out of not having to truly put time into doing my hair. More »

Last Thursday, Beauty Chat contributors Sarah, Stephanie, and me had the pleasure of attending the debut event of The Luxe Life. This was a swanky affair held in Los Angeles, similar to Shecky’s Girls Night Out (which we also blogged about not long ago).

While recently attending the Total Beauty Blog Summit, I was introduced to the Cutler Fly-Away Control Stick. This product, as the title explains, works to control fly-away hairs. And it works magnificently!
According to the company, this stick combats frizziness and static, soothes the cuticles, and provides sleek and shiny hair. And with ingredients such as shea butter and essential oils, what isn’t there to love?
As soon as I saw the product, I had to try it out! Fellow Beauty Chat contributor, Denice, also took advantage of this fantastic fly-away control stick. Here are our thoughts: More »

I recently cut my long hair into a hip, Posh-like bob. With my new do, I find that I am constantly playing with and running my fingers through it. And after piling on the stress of the day — BAM! — greasy hair. This is normally not a huge issue, but it quickly becomes one when I want to go out after work. Rather than going home and redoing my hair, I needed to find a solution.
Enter Pocket Redo wipes by Jonathan. These are a fabulous find! According to Jonathan (yes, the Jonathan), he created these towelettes for convenience purposes. Here’s what he said, “On fashion shoots and runways, I don’t have time to rewash and restyle a model’s hair. So I mixed my own botanical water infusion mist, allowing me to rework and restyle sections of hair without shampooing. A mush have for my models and for you. And it’s great on skin too.”
