Healthy luster and glowing hair isn’t just for the Hollywood crowd. Treat your hair with kindness, boar-bristled or thermal brushes and the right products with proper care…you will shine like a Star!
Hollywood worthy Hair utilizes professionally recommended shampoos and conditioners. After a two-week period of use a noticeable difference is apparent.  Professional products are more cost effective because of the concentration lasting 2-4 months with proper usage.
An amazing thing will happen your hair will be completely manageable. It is soft, supple and has great sheen.
One of the most important things you can do when you treat your hair with care is wash your hair with professionally recommended shampoo twice and try to shampoo every other day.. You don’t need a ton of the shampoo, just a pea to dime-sized amount on wet hair. Rub the product in-between your hands evenly distribute then Lather, lather, lather at the scalp (don’t worry about the ends) using the pads of your fingers. Then rinse fully. Repeat this step as the first shampoo breaks down products and does not lather as well, the second shampoo cleanses your scalp and do not worry about your ends.

Only a pea to dime- sized amount of conditioner (buy liters or ask if refills are available at a discount if you’re trying to be economical) and work this in by taking your hair into a ponytail and then running your hand down, concentrating on the ends. Then take your hands and rake them through from the roots to the tips. Shave your legs, wash your face or scrub your feet with aloof for a bit before rinsing the conditioner out.
When you towel dry, don’t rub… squeeze out the excess water by blotting. Comb through with a wide toothed comb starting at the ends (this prevents breakage).  Let the styling begin

You too will have gorgeous shiny Hollywood hair!

Colors we surround ourselves with play an intricate part in our confidence, which precludes our happiness.  Whether choosing hair color or garment colors, skin tone and personality are the two major considerations before any choices are selected.

The theory of color is based on individual skin tone.  Warm toned or cool toned, with the rare individual being both like a chameleon.  A simple way to test which one you are is to hold a piece of gold cloth then a silver piece. With one your skin will radiate.  The other will make you look sallow.  Gold is warm; silver is cool.  An alternative is to try an orange-red and blue-red fabric. Neutrals in clothing (black, gray, brown and taupe) work for everyone.

Once you have discovered your tone, look at the color wheel. Cool colors are in the blue, green, and purple hues.  Warm colors are in the yellow, orange and red hues.  Typically these families fall in the opposing family if the underlying base is from that color family. An example would be a red-blue tone like magenta. 

You’ll feel much more confident in colors that compliment your skin tone.  Personality is key in your color choices.  If a vivacious outgoing warm skin toned individual wears a subdued color — for example a flat brown hair color or a muted powdery pink blouse — this will be a confidence killer.  But, a flattering sun kissed, golden brown hair color with a hot pink garment will radiate confidence.  Eva Longoria Parker is a great example.

It’s about influencing others, by creating a personal style brand identity that associates certain perceptions and feelings with that identity The new trend is Personal Style Branding. Branding your style is more effective and sustainable than traditional marketing and sales. The most effective way to set yourself apart from competitors or eliminate your competitors. Madonna, Donald Trump and Disney have shown fabulously effective personal style branding.

q          Before you shop, do a closet assessment; see what you have and determine what you really “need”

q          Work with items you love 

q          Don’t buy anything unless you know it will ‘work hard’ for you by mixing and matching to make numerous outfits (A bargain is not a bargain if it hangs in your closet)

q          Consider that you only need to add a few strategically chosen new items to give your wardrobe a significant boost

q          Invest in tailoring for a custom fit (this is an expense that is well worth the investment)

q          Invest in quality verses name brand.

q          Take shoes to the repair shop for a pick me up for about $20 verses $50-$150 new

q          Shop Bargain Rack first for prices that fit everybody’s pocketbook.  Buy only the things that fit your body shape & wardrobe strategy

q          Make a ‘wish list’ and let me figure out how to make your ‘wishes’ come true (birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day)

q          keep the quality in your lifestyle spending wisely

 Most people only utilize 20% of their clothes in their closet.  And having 20% they have barely or never worn.  With the economy being tight learn how to shop savvy.  Sometimes right out of your own closet!

  Investing in an Image consultant saves $$$$ by effectively giving you the tools you need to build a strong wardrobe to send a consistent timeless message.
