SCORCHEDRREVAMP your swimsuit wardrobe by covering your "fancy" with fluorescent. From ultra-violet purple and electric pink, to acid green and tangerine; neon swimwear is one of those fearless fashion trends that is sure to get you noticed. Mix and match a two-piece to create different looks depending on the cut and coloration. Make a ststatement with a timeless one-piece that is bold and bright. Why not invest in reversible swimwear to get the most out of your money. With so many pool parties and beach trips around the corner, stay fashionably loud throughout the day by alternating looks in between. I mean, you can't go to a pool party and beach house on the same day wwith the SAME SWIMSUIT! Well... technically you can, but why would you want to? This summer is a time of excess, big and loud. If you are afraid to step too far out there, try accessorizing with a bright beach towel or fun colored inflatable. Slip on a playful watch or electric trimmed sunglasses. A dash of neon can change the whole attitude of yyour look. So, play up your Popsicle and dip into color. The sun ain't the only thing that's shining.

STRAIGHTChemical services can be a scary thing especially if you don’t know what you are getting into. Award-winning colorist Mia wants to share color tips for chemically straightened hair!


“I get clients coming in all the time asking if they can color their chemically straightened hair. There are so many new straightening techniques out there that it ccan sometimes get confusing. So I've done my own sleuthing and compiled a list of a varietyof treatments and the do’sand don’ts regarding coloring.”

Thermal reconditioning (also known as TR, Magic Straight, Ionic Perm, Bioionic Straightening, Yuko System, Liscio, Japanese Straightening, Japanese Straight Perm, Straight Perm and Rebonding) is a Hair Straightening procedure uses heat to change the shape of the hair. After tthe cuticle is broken down with chemicals, locks are ironed straight with a hot iron. A neutralization process then closes the cuticle, causing hair to stay straight. For women who spend hours each week blow-drying their hair into submission and dodging raindrops like bullets, thermal reconditioning is worth the ttime and money.

This hair straightening technique will normally last from five months to a year. It all depends on the rate of growth of your hair. Since new hair will grow to its normal characteristics, you will need to only touch up the new hair.

Afterward, you will be able to use standard good qquality shampoos and hair conditioners. The treatment is pretty much permanent, until the hair grows out. You will want to protect your hair from ultraviolet rays, (intense sunshine), so applying hair products with UV protection is recommended. Lastly, you will need to wait at least four to six weeks before coloring your hair.

Whether it is called Brazilian keratin treatment, Coppola keratin straightening, Keratin Complex treatment, Liquid keratin and Global keratin, etc., the primary product used in this conditioning treatment is keratin. Keratin is a tough protein found in skin, hair and, nails. The chemical aaldehyde, a derivative of formaldehyde, assists

Ionic Hair Retexturizing is the latest Japanese hair straightening technique, which locks in moisture and nutrients during the ironing process, to improve the condition as well as straighten the hair. It works best on non-chemically treated hair. Treatment lasts up to 6 months depending on the growth rate of yyour hair.

Always remember the healthiest hair usually has the fewest chemicals applied. Having both straightening and coloring may not be the best option for everyone. Being able to work with healthy, shiny hair will allow Mia to give her clients the very best results.

the keratin infusion into the hair. Unlike the thermal reconditioning system (Japanese straightening) which thermally and chemically restructures the hair bonds to create permanent stick straight hair, the keratin procedures recondition the hair preventing frizz while allowing it to wave, curl, or be flat ironed straight. Hairggradually returns to its original state without the awkward growing out stage inherent to the Brazilian hair straightening. This advantage becomes its dis-advantage; the treatment is not permanent and lasts anywhere from eight weeks to four months. You need to wait two-three weeks before and after yyou do any other chemical treatments including coloring. For best results always do the coloring before Keratin treatment. After treatment the Keratin coat your hair like a thin layer of film and colorants might not penetrate the hair they way it should.

In Most cases, even if you chemically straighten or color your hair, you still have to maintain that hot new do withthe right tools, so why not do it with one of the best tools out there?
