I was perusing sites for a Spring 2009 Fashion Trends post (to be posted Friday, April 3 at Musings -- I'll try to cross post over here), and I came across an article about Spring 2009 Hair and Makeup Trends. Well, I just knew I had to share! 1) Major Liner. Ugh, I'm not a fan of this … [Read more...]
Change Your Hairstyle And Color In Minutes…Virtually
I tried a completely new look - different hairstyle and different color - in just minutes! And it wasn't even permanent. How? I tried out a virtual makeover. I've seen them around, but never checked them out. I always thought they looked a little goofy. They still aren't perfect, but … [Read more...]
Hair! Glorious Hair!
Y'all know I'm always on the lookout for a hair product that will work miracles with my dulling, thinning hair. Between my hair and skin, I tell ya, 36 is beating me. In fact, my next step is to try a hair coloring/glossing treatment. I'll let you know how that goes. In the meantime, I was … [Read more...]
EverPure Color Care System
I used to be able to make the prideful claim that my hair had never been touched with a chemical. Well, except for that one bad perm but I really do try to forget about that. Naturally wavy hair and a spiral perm do not make for good friends. What I meant was that my dark shiny hair was my … [Read more...]
Shine On!
I have this love for hair products. I am a salon owner's dream come true. "Janel, you should try this..." Say no more, I'm sold. Really, I just can't seem to get enough of them and I tend to buy many that I end up not liking. But today, I'm talking about one that I love! One … [Read more...]
Shaper Hairspray – My Old Friend

Pumps, aerosols, extra hold, flexible hold, volumizing, anti-frizz, finishing, freezing - oh so many choices. But my favorite over the last 10 + years has been good old Sebastian Shaper hairspray (though … [Read more...]
Protect your hair from the heat
Do you use heat to style your hair? A hair dryer? Curling iron? Straightening iron? I'm willing to bet the answer is yes. Do you use protection? If you are subjecting your hair to high heat then you need to be using something to protect it. The heat of a dryer or iron can cause major … [Read more...]
I am as close as I will ever get to having hair of spun silk like Rapunzel
Hey all. It’s my inaugural post here at Chic Critique and I would be lying if I told you all I wasn’t even a bit nervous. I’m sort of way nervous. Anyway, I’m Lisa from Take 90 West. I’d love to insert a picture of myself here but I’m right in the middle of moving this week, and I can … [Read more...]
Locked and Loaded. Your Hairdryer Just Got Better.
I want you to go get that catch-all basket from under your bathroom sink. Yes, that one. With the purple eyeshadow you bought a year ago and tried once, only to be told by several people "You look tired - Are you getting enough sleep?" And the rest of the dental whitening strips you had to … [Read more...]
