BEAUTY
I have been inspired by recent images of Prince William’s new wife, Catherine. Her hair always looks so conditioned and well behaved. So it should, considering that she does get a blow dry once a week and exactly every six weeks has a trim. I have decided that I can also have Catherine’s good hair. I just need to learn to make some time in my busy schedule to do some basics and I can start by trying to protect my hair this Summer from sun damage.
Hair can often look and feel like straw during the Summer. What does not help is the build up of salt, sand and chlorine as a result of fun in the sun on holidays. At Eliegante we carre a line of products by Phyto Plage that will help care for my hair this Summer. I am already a fan of the Phyto hair relaxing balm. I am hoping that the Hair and Body Wash as well as the Protective Sun Veil will also have me impressed and wanting to see how our guestes will trat there hair this summer rather than attempting to hide it in shame.
The moisturising Hair and Body Wash gently washes the skin and hair (extract of bamboo marrow, oil of candlenut, wood cellulose). It eliminates the build-up of salt, chlorine, sand and sun products. The hydrolipidic film is reconstructed and the hair’s fibers are moisturised.
– Facilitates detangling
– Leaves hair supple and shiny
– Leaves skin satiny soft
The Protective Sun Veil forms an invisible screen that protects the hair from the damaging drying effects of the sun, salt and chlorine. Provides a UV filter.
– Spray on dry or wet hair before and during sun exposure
– Invisible protective screen
– Does not leave hair greasy
– May be used as a hair styling product, both at the beach and in the city.
These Phyto Plage products are priced at a very reasonable prices and can be purchased @ Eliegante Hair Design & Spa 5288 Upper James Strret Hamilton ontario or visite or web site @ www.eliegante.com or call us 905-575-9835
Bridal Beauty Trends 2011 What bridal beauty trends do you think you’ll want to do for your big day? How did you do your hair and makeup on your wedding day? Forget Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter – wedding season is my favourite season of the year! It’s April but most Stylist like me are gearing up for another busy year of bridal beauty. There is just something about brides – the wedding dress, the hair, the makeup, the excitement – no matter what your physical attributes brides all look stunning on their big day!
If you’re walking the aisle this year and you’re not sure how you should do your hair or if a Smokey eye is appropriate, you’ll want to read up on the latest bridal beauty trends for 2011. Here are some of my favourite and inspiring looks of the season!
Retro-Modern ElieganteCarolina HerraraThe Carolina Herrara show was full of inspiration! I love the Elieganteand simplicity of the hair and makeup. It’s simple but with the gorgeous us we say in frensh LA SIMPLICITÉ FAIS LA BEAUTE, calla lilies (one of my favourite flowers) the look has a modern feel to it. The hair is pulled low and slightly to the side with volume at the top. I love how the calla lilies peek through on the side. This would be gorgeous with an asymmetrical or off-the-should gown. I LOVE IT Carolina HerraraBlack liner will be a huge trend for this wedding season. It’s just so Eliegante, polished, and finishes the eye without adding a lot of colour. The skin isn’t dewy but luminous with a flawless finish. The lips have a nice creamy coral finish. I like the coral shade because it’s so fresh for Spring/Summer weddings. The brows are also prominent and a must for this polished look. Carolina HerreraI love the flapper ’20’s feel of this faux bob look. The waves and the finish of the hair is loose making it look more modern. The freshness of the makeup also gives it a more modern twist. If you have long hair and don’t want to have it completely off your face then this is a great alternative.
Earthy and All-Natural If you love boho-chic then this is a look for you. Everything about it is so ethereal. I love this look for brides doing a destination wedding on a beach. If you’re also not a tiara or veil type of gal, this is a great choice. Loose waves are a must for this look. The makeup is gorgeous! For the most part, the overall look is very sheer but the smoky definition along the bottom of the eyes gives this soft look a bit of edge. But even though the eyes are given definition, remember to smudge the liner to compliment the overall softness. This is a classic look that would be stunning on just about anyone. I love the glowing skin and effortless hair. This is another look perfect for a beach wedding. The waves are loose and flowing. I love that one side is pulled back while the other side has some waves framing the face. I always thought that a flower or hair clip should only be placed on the side that is pulled back, but the flower on the other side totally works.
. I love a Smokey look but am delighted when a bride wants to try it in a colour. This season you’ll be seeing it in gorgeous violet and steely-blue tones like on the bride pictured above.
Red lips will never go out of style and are back for this wedding season. It’s a classic. This Spring the red is more vibrant, but for your wedding day you’ll want to skip the trends and go with a shade of red that suits your skin tone. Those with fair to medium skin should choose a true red with blue undertones. Those with medium-dark and olive skin tones should go with a warm red like brick or red-orange. Tan to dark skin should stick to deeper shades of red in wine or burgundy.
No matter what the trends are, in the end always choose to look like YOU! Use the trends to enhance your natural beauty and never let the hair or makeup wear you. 😉
When you treat your hair well, it usually returns the favor. This means, make sure your hair gets the nourishment needed according to demands of each season.
Now that we’re in the in the winter zone, and in preparation for the spring weather, it’s a good idea to get started on upping the hair’s moisture levels.
I’d love to tell you that shampooing and using regular conditioner will do the trick but it’s simply not enough.
There are different solutions for different types of hair but in most cases, it pays to take a more aggressive stance when it comes to hair hydration.
It’s a must to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
I’ve in our Salon the right hydration solutions to combat dryness, flakes, frizz and static. They’re available at my salon Eliegante Hair Design in Hamilton on Canada
The treatment was inspired by professional hair dresser and it is been used by many actress, . It involves deep conditioning with the use of Treatment product that reverses the symptoms of damaged hair. The treatment particularly addresses problems with tangles, dryness, frizz, chemical over processing, breakage or unmanageable curls. Further, it utilizes thermal heat produced by a flat iron which will subsequently activate vital ingredients on the hair and seal the cuticles. It should not to be confused with hair rebounding.
This treatment, despite being a similarly tedious process, will not straighten your hair. It’s geared towards repair and hair regeneration.
Another treatment that might perk up your fall is Awapuhi Wild Ginger, and Phyto Paris which was inspired by the award-winning actress.
Our Passion involves enriching the shade and shine of hair that has been color-treated. Otherwise known as The manageable and Shine Treatment, it will provides unparalleled shine and conditioning with the use of Paulmitchell Professional products. This treatment will provide the ultimate lip-gloss for your hair!
It will specifically targeted for those who have had color treatments
Awapuhi Wild Ginger and Phyto Paris hair maintenance which aims to revive and restore your hair’s health and natural shine. It’s used to rejuvenate hair that has undergone a lot of processing, but unlike Shimmer and Shine, this process takes a shorter time and is recommended every time you get your monthly haircut.
But for extremely dry damage, wavy, frizzy hair I highly recommend, Awapuhi Wild Ginger the Keratin Treatment. It will instantly bring back lost shine and your hair will feel and looks healthy… works better than hair re bonding.
We also recommend an after hair care shampoo, conditioner and treatment so it will have a long lasting shine and brilliance.
Services for Awapuhi Wild Ginger and Phyto Paris start at $25.00 short hair and extra dollars for long hair.
