Lipstick Powder N Paint

We have always wanted to see a little curl in our editorial assistant’s hair.  She has worn it pretty much poker straight, or in a ponytail, since we’ve known her - and that’s been quite a few years.  We decided to visit Antonio and his crew at Salon Tocci, in Toronto, and asked them how to create soft bouncy waves in Steph’s fine hair.  Here is the step by step: (more…)

Turkeys aren’t the only things getting stuffed this holiday season and we can’t wait! We’re talking stockings, whether they’re big or small, everyone likes to find a little something hanging over the chimney with love.

Maintaining curly hair can be a challenge. Curly hair tends to be more fragile than straight hair, so harsh styling products can leave hair looking and feeling over dry and damaged. Here are some great tips from Redken for keeping curls under control:

- Wash your hair with cold water to avoid frizz
- Part and comb your hair in the shower while the conditioner is still in to prevent breakage. Use a wide-toothed comb.
- To prevent frizz, do not rub your hair with the towel but gently dry out the access water.
- Use a diffuser on your hairdryer. Only dry your hair until slightly damp to prevent frizz and brittleness. Then apply cool air to hair to seal the cuticle.

Bring your dry, brittle ringlets back to life by nourishing them with products and treatments specifically formulated to enhance curly hair. Here are some you may wish to try:
