Hello Ladies! Jeanasina here! I’m going to get some dark brown chunks of color in my hair tomorrow after seeing how cute it was on a stylist at the hair salon where I get my hair done. I recently had some subtle golden lowlights put in my light blonde hair and while I was there I kept staring at this stylist who had light blonde hair like mine with huge dark chunks of dark brown randomly scattered in her hair. I told my stylist “I LOVE that woman’s hair!” and she said, “Well, do you want to do that today?” but I didn’t have the courage (yet) to try it so I just went with my usual subtle lowlights.
MissRo here! Most of the brands or products we review here on Megsmakeup are all for the Ladies and rightly so, as there are thousands upon thousands of products for us. However, in the last few years some great brands have extended their lines to include mens' products. Also, new brands have popped up on the scene designed specifically for men, like Anthony, Jack Black, and Zirh.
So, it's no surprise that Mixed Chicks has included a couple of products in their line for the men in our lives' that have naturally curly hair or just want a great shampoo and conditioner outside of the classic Head & Shoulders.
MissRo here! I have shared with you my technique on the perfect blow dry and what products to use. But, there's one product that you absolutely must have for your hair whether it's curly or straight.
It's usually a thick, clear gel that you can use on wet or dry hair. For curly hair, it really helps to form your curls if you use it on your wet hair. If you use it when your hair is dry, it gives your curls a smooth, silky look, and tames the frizz. For straight hair, when you apply it wet it helps with your blow dry to tame the frizz while it dries. Once your hair is dry, you take a drop of it, warm it up in your hands and smooth out the fly-aways. Have you figured it out yet? It's a finishing gel! And that's the latest product I tried from the Mixed Chicks line, their Hair Silk.
Goddess Granny here with an ax to grind and a mission to accomplish: FTC: it's not a good week to mess with my Meg...have had yet another stray virus come to call at the ranch and am finally feeling like I can do some virtual a**-whooping from here in Texas! I am feeling a bit beat-up from travel, the change of seasons,the flippin' daylight savings time change thing, (whose idea IS this???) and the fact that it's been one hell of a year so far in many ways. My skin is protesting via a perfect pimple on my chin (Apotek mask to the rescue!) my body is weak, my eyes are tight and dry and damn it: even my usual nothing to worry about hair is FREAKING out !
It's just a case of Aunty Ugly coming to call I guess,the bi**h doesn't realize Halloween is over? Seriously I could haunt more than a house right now and starting this week, have kicked my own butt into high-gear in hopes of getting my self back looking and feeling like the Goddess I am!!!
MissRo here! For those that have naturally curly hair, you may be upset to hear that I usually only where my hair curly when I go swimming or I'm at the beach. Every other time, I like to blow dry it straight, because it's just easier for me to take care of and I end up washing my hair only a couple of times a week. However, the other day I wore my hair curly only because I had the help of Mixed Chicks Leave-In Conditioner.
I washed and conditioned my hair as usual. Towel-dried my hair just to squeeze out the excess water. Combed my hair, parted my hair on the side, and massaged through the Leave-In Conditioner. So far, so good! It was light-weight, non-sticky, and as my hair started to dry and my curls started to form, I had no frizz and my hair was super shiny.
Punkeydew sent in this hair question for Mr. Marco Pelusi this morning and as usual, Marco answered lickety split!... Q: I have this flat spot in the back of my hair and the way it lays it looks like a bald patch sometimes if I don't style it right. I imagine it's from where I sleep every night, with the added help of a few cowlicks.
Any advice on styling that section to make it come out?
MissRo here! My Mixed Chicks experience continues. Last time I told you about their amazing Deep Conditioner. Well now, it's all about their Shampoo.
I'm pretty picky about hair care products. When you have naturally curly hair, you can't just use any product. Most of the time I'm looking for anything that tames the frizz. Everything from Shampoo, to Conditioner, to styling products, everything has to smooth out my hair. So, when it comes to shampoo, it has to be conditioning, light weight, and easily washes out of my hair with no residue.
The Mixed Chicks Shampoo is rich and luxurious with a very pleasant smell. It also lathers up nicely and when you wash it out, your hair is squeaky clean and feels very light weight. With a combination of borage seed and avocado oils it provides the perfect amount of conditioning elements so your hair is smooth like silk.
MissRo here! When it comes to my hair, I am constantly on the search for products that will help keep my curly locks frizz-free. It doesn't matter if I'm keeping my hair curly or blowing it out straight, I need products that are going to tame the frizz.
When I was doing some research online, I came across the Mixed Chicks brand. I instantly perked up, because I am a mixed chick! My Mother is Jamaican, Scottish and my Father is Polish, Jewish. I thought, wow, a brand specifically for me! I immediately got in touch with them and asked them if I could try their product.
So on Monday (which is my wash-the-hair day, because I only wash my hair twice a week. I'm telling you, it's the way to go. It makes your hair super healthy), I decided to try their Deep Conditioner. It comes in a healthy-sized tub for only...$10.99! I shampooed my hair and grabbed about the size of a large grape of the conditioner. I massaged it through my hair and then combed it through. (Tip - Ladies to get the most out of any conditioner, always comb it through. It helps to get the product through every inch of your hair, but also helps with styling).
Meg here! We have a great question for Mr. Marco Pelusi-our hair guru, it's a good one and one I'm sure a lot you want the answer to! Q: "I am going out for my birthday and I want my hair to look amazing. I have long wavy hair. What is a style that looks hip, trendy, yet sexy?" A: "You're in luck, my dear. Long wavy hair is BACK! It first of all would be nice to get a quick trim, along with adding a few longer, well-blended layers to tame and shape and help control those waves. Go to someone who knows curly wavy hair. It can be a nice solid line at the bottom, and if it's short enough (closer to the shoulder), it can lean forward. Or it could be cut into a 'V' in the back bottom.
Meg hair! Can we all do a pay it forward? You see our hair contributor Marco Pelusi that always takes time out of his very busy schedule to help answer our questions in a thoughtful and caring manner could use a favor.
We have to help Marco Pelusi regain his title as best hair colorist in the entire world..Or Um...Los Angeles actually. He claimed the title in 2007 so he hasn't exactly been Susan Lucci...But he needs his crown back!
It is our duty to help a fellow Meg Head! It is our duty to spread the word of the best colorist in California to women searching for a fabulous color! More then that, and this line should motivate all you guilty Jewish and Catholics "Marco would do it for you!" Here is the info...
