Oscar-Worthy Hair
I tuned into the 91st Annual Academy Awards. I was paying close attention to the hair, of course. I was glued to the TV for the red carpet pre-show. What stood out for me the most was the range of styles and textures. The mood was all about diversity and individuality. This also reflects what’s happening in film making right now. Powerful stories are being told, casting defies stereotypes, and basically our intelligence as viewers is no longer being insulted with a rehashing of predictable plots and themes.

Breaking News
Unkempt. Wild. Kinky. Messy. Unmanageable. Unprofessional. Electrocuted. The back of a sheep’s ass. These are some of the loaded words and messages used to describe my hair. I’m sure many people can relate. Depending on how curly your hair is, where you grew up, and where you work, there are even more negative words and attitudes flying around about it. I’m opening up and sharing my story because I want everyone out there who currently hates their curly hair to develop the confidence to wear it curly whenever they feel like it. I want to share what I’ve learned about how to take good care of those curls. I want to geek out a little bit about the science behind curly hair. I also want EVERYONE, regardless of their hair texture, to understand that there’s more than one way to be beautiful. My curly hair journey has taken me from a painfully shy kid, to a kid who had traumatic experiences in salons, to a young woman who found the right hairdresser, and finally to becoming a hairdresser myself—with the self image and self esteem of my clients in my hands.

How to Get Age-Defying Air
Who says you have to look your age? You could be 40 and look as if you’re still in your 20s, if you really tried. People guess age depending on how youthful your skin and hair look. Keeping your skin young depends on how often you’re using moisturizers and your diet looks. Your hair, on the other hand, is different. As a person’s body ages, some of the hair follicles on the head stop working. This is what you might be experiencing if you notice that you can see the vague outline of your scalp through what’s left of your hair. And as you age, the pigment cells in your hair start to die and become gray, silver, or white. The hair itself might appear limp and thinner than it was. The good news is that there are ways to reduce the damage that your hair takes as your body ages. If you take the right steps, you can have age-defying hair that makes you look 20 years younger.

The Beautifying Benefits of Green Tea
We all try our best to stay healthy—to varying degrees. Some of us do the bare minimum, drinking water and exercising (semi) regularly. Others of us go the Gwyneth Paltrow route and never miss an opportunity to toss “quinoa” and “antioxidants” into any conversation. But wherever you fall on the healthful spectrum, you have probably heard of the benefits of green tea. But chances are, you probably can’t remember them off-hand. No matter, you can use some ginkgo biloba for that.
