Did you know that a large percentage of people have no idea how to take care of their hair? Don’t feel bad if you are one of them. I’m not judging you, I promise, this is a safe place.

That’s why I got into the industry. I entered knowing nothing about hair and I wanted to help others who are as clueless as I was. It’s not as hard as you think it is. First, I will begin with shampooing and conditioning. Then, I will discuss the proper hair treatments and best styling leave-ins and I’ll throw in some helpful tips here and there that are great to know. Whether you have time or not, they will help.
Let’s begin with shampoo! Picking the right one can be hard but you have to figure out what your problem is or what you want your hair to do. If you want volume in your hair obviously you would pick a volumizing shampoo. Looking for a product that has pine oil as an ingredient or menthol will give you a cooling feeling but it will also make your hair stand on end, which is excellent for that big hair height you’re looking for. For hair that needs moisture, find a shampoo that is hydrating or one that says moisture in the name. The key ingredient can be any type of oils (nut oils are especially hydrating) or aloe and vitamin E. For breakage, look for things that will strengthen the hair that have proteins such as keratin (which is a key protein that is in our hair) or amino acids. Even fish oil is great for moisture and re-growth. These products can be heavy, so be sure to ask your stylist about them.

A massage Therapist Certified in Neuromuscular Therapy - It will change your body and posture
One of my favorite drinks for the holidays is wassail. Every time I serve this, it is always a hit. People ask me to bring this all the time during the holidays. It is a spicy hot apple cider drink. There are many beneficial properties as well. My wife says “it scares away the flu”. I am not sure I can guarantee that but the drink is flavorful and tasty. I have included the history of wassail and my recipe as well.
The history of the drink hails back to England. The following comes from Wikipedia:
In the cider-producing counties in the South West of England (primarily Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire) or South East England (Kent, Sussex and Essex) wassailing refers to a traditional ceremony that involves singing and drinking the health of trees in the hopes that they might better thrive.

Brette Barber - Our Waxing Queen
The Hairy Truth – A Guide to The Best Charlotte Waxing
“Waxing” is defined by Merriam-Webster as: “to apply wax to (as legs) as a depilatory. ” Well thanks, Webster, for that less than informative explanation on the wonderful world of waxing and how it can benefit YOU. Essentially, waxing is a lot like “mass tweezing. ” The hair is being pulled from the root in mass quantities, in a super quick, relatively painless manner. Notice I said “relatively” when I mentioned the pain factor.
Waxing is not painless. It never will be. However, if it’s done correctly, by a professional waxing can be relatively painless. By “relatively,” I really mean that there is no residual pain. It’s like snatching off that band-aid. As soon as you feel it, it’s over. No big deal.
