Three Hair Myths Exposed by Nick Arrojo

three hair myths nick arrojo Don’t be mid-led, readers! There are a lot of beauty myths floating around, and we’ve all fallen for at least one of them in our lifetime! Today Nick Arrojo, of Arrojo Studio and author of Great Hair: Secrets to Looking Fabulous and Feeling Beautiful Every Day helps to set the record straight when it comes to three common hair myths.

There’s a new trend that says you should get your hair cut every four weeks, instead of the traditional six to eight weeks. I don’t believe this for one second and neither should you. Unless your hair is super short, and you like to keep it that way, getting your hair cut within four weeks is a waste of money. A good haircut should last a minimum of six weeks before needing another trim.

The fuller-figured woman often brings her hair forward over her face, mistakenly believing this will hide her fuller shape. It doesn’t. Bringing hair forward to the cheeks actually draws attention to the fullest part of anybody’s face: chubby cheeks! Instead of trying to disguise your shape and size, be brave, style your hair back away from your face, expose your eyes, and get the twinkle back.

Calling out fashion faux pas is all the rage. Never wear white before Memorial Day or after Labor Day is a common one that makes me giggle. It’s just not true. If you look great who cares what date it is?! It’s the same with hair: Don’t wear long hair over forty, people say. I disagree. As long as your hair is healthy, the style is modern, and it suits you, then wear any length you want, regardless of your age.

Biker Blue Swatch

Feeling the need to embrace an edgier color for Spring? Biker Blue–from MAC’s Jeanius collection–was actually quite a surprise. In the bottle, it appears to be a deep midnight blue with shimmer. Once applied, the color was actually a softer cornflower blue with shimmer. Much less edgy than I imagined, and positively enchanting!

Retail price is $14.

Want to know how to use it? While running your bathwater, crumble the “frosting” portion of the cupcake under the running water. While soaking, add the “cake” portion to your bath, for a fragrant and moisturizing treat! The Hawaiian Lei fragrance is floral (but not in an overpowering way). Close your eyes, and enjoy a vacation right from the comfort of your bathroom!

Yardley London Pomegranate Rose Soap Review

yardley london pomegranate rose soap review

Personally, I never would have guessed that the scents of tangy Pomegranate and romantic Rose would work well together, but Yardley London surprised me with this new scent concoction!

Yardley London is more than just soap. The formula keeps skin soft. This particular bar features the antioxidant properties of Pomegranate mixed with oatmeal to exfoliate the skin while you cleanse. It’s the ultimate multi-tasker, and a bargain as well!
