Thankfully
there are several things you can do to keep your
mane healthy and shiny all Fall long. Here are
some tips to help reverse any damage Summer may
have done.
1. Shields
Up: Even
though the days are getting shorter, it's
important to protect your hair from
ultraviolet rays that can dry out your hair
and make it more brittle. Many hair products
provide the benefit of UV protection such as Tri
Design Leave-in Reconstructor or Tangle
Me Free by Neuma.
2. Regular
Trims: There
are few certain things in life except death,
taxes and split ends (isn't that how the
saying goes?). Saying sayonara to split ends
every 6-8 weeks will help prevent the hair
from dividing up the entire length of the
shaft. Just 1/8" off from all over will
keep your locks looking wholesome and healthy.
3. Step
Away From The Flat Iron: We're
not saying you have to abandon your hair
tools entirely, but hair dryers, flat irons
and dyes strip your hair of its luster and
vitality. If you insist on employing some or
all of them in your hair regimen, try to use
them sparingly to avoid further damage.
4. Condition,
Condition, Condition (Repeat): There
are several options available to infuse your
hair with the moisture the sun, wind and
salt water stripped away. Professional
in-salon treatments such as a Hydrating
Deep Conditioning Treatment for
a powerful punch. If you're looking for a
DIY option, softer hair (and skin) can
be had for the price of a jar of mayonnaise.
Odd? Perhaps. But, mayonnaise is
"primarily made of eggs, oil, and water
(plus a little lemon). Oil is commonly known
to be good for dry anything. Eggs are also
used to treat dry skin and dry hair. The
water doesn't matter much one way or the
other and lemon juice can add shine to your
hair. If you think about the benefits
mayonnaise provides, you're probably better
off putting it on your head and body than
actually eating it.
Employ
one or all of these tips for flawless
tresses that will see you through apple
picking, raking and any other Fall
activities you have on the horizon.
THANKSGIVING
WINE!
Thanksgiving is right around the corner. There
is no better time to start planning your wines
to compliment the meal.
The
first question is which wines goes with the
variety of tastes unique to the Thanksgiving
feast. Pairing wine for Thanksgiving can be most
difficult due to the variety of foods served.
However, wine pairing wine is really based on
personal preference.
~Sparkling
wines. The ever popular celebratory
wine brings out elegance and a wonderful
food-pairing versatility. Celebrate your friends
and family with a bottle of sparkling wine.
~Red
wines. Some good choices for
Thanksgiving dinner would be Pinot Noir (great
with turkey and stuffing), Zinfandel (great
balance for side dishes with spices and sweet
flavors) and Syrah (good with turkey and
stuffing).
~White
Wine. A great choice for Thanksgiving
would be a Riesling (wonderful with dishes that
are sweet, salty or spicy), Sauvignon Blanc (is
perfect for pairing with turkey and mashed
potatoes), Pinot Grigio (great with high
flavorful dishes, herbs and onions).
" As
we express our gratitude, we must never forget
that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words, but to live by
them."
~John
Fitzgerald Kennedy
ENJOY!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
