Save your hair from summer pool & sun

One of the best things you can do to save your tresses from chlorine and sun damage, would be to 'Malibu Shampoo' your hair right after swimming in a pool. It is preferable to shampoo before your hair dries with the pool water in it. I like to reconstruct my hair once a week in the summer. The wind and sun create tangles I can barely remove. My favorite product to hydrate and reconstruct is K-pak by Joico. At Luxe, you can find both Malibu and K-pak products. Mention you read my blog and receive 25%off either products!........Colleen

Clare's before & after

Clare has been coloring her hair at home for years. With the help of Rusk's color line, the goal was to cover grey and darken it to her natural level. Without stripping her hair first,(which is less damaging) this color line deposited great from scalp to ends. She says she "loves it!".......Colleen

What is "in" in hair color......

For a long time we would see bolder, contrasting hair color. Some color was even referred to as "stripes, or tiger stripes". Currently in the trade magazines, is the complete opposite! Tone on tone, shiny, healthy, natural looking hair color. Hydrated and shiny, look around at our celebrities. Reds are in the copper tones, not purple as seen long ago. Blondes are buttery, not white and dry. Personally, these are my favorite colors to create! I'm Colleen, have fun looking around......
