Slicker Than a Can of Oil

Salutations style mavens,

It's been a while since I posted a hygiene post.  I mean I do practice good hygiene everyday, I just don't normally find products worth blogging about.  That is until I stumbled across my latest obsession- Oils!

Oils can be extremely beneficial when it comes to hair and skin.  I went to GNC to see what good oils I could find to help me in my journey to great skin and hair...

Grapeseed Oil

Retail: $9.99

Direct Link: http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2446691&kwCatId=

First up is Grapeseed Oil.  Grapeseed oil is lighter compared to other oils and is perfect for sealing in moisture in the hair and scalp and the skin as well.

Jojoba Oil

Retail: $9.99

Direct Link: http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2188173#green

I think Jojoba oil is the best of all the oils offered at my local GNC.  It's the most expensive at least.  It can be used for hair, skin, and all over the body.

Avocado Oil

Retail: $6.49

Direct Link: http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11356454&kwCatId=

Avocado oil is the most familiar to me.  It is commonly used in most hair sprays for it's natural shine enhancing properties.  I have used this for both my hair and skin and love it.

So there you have it folks my latest craze.  I can't wait to the benefits and effects of using these products start kicking in.

Hair Supplements

Greetings fashionable ones,

As you all know, I had Big Chopped (cut all my hair off) back in March to grow my hair naturally.  (That means free of chemicals ie...relaxers, texturizers, etc.. to those who don't know what natural means.)

Of course, I have always been one to be a little impatient when it comes to things concerning myself.  So it comes as no surprise that I want my hair to grow faster.

This called for a bit of research to see first if that was possible, what product will do this the best, and how much does it cost.

My research led me to a supplement known as Biotin.  Biotin aids in the production of hair and nail growth. My first thought was to head to Whole Foods and if not there then try GNC. I discovered it was located at the former...

Biotin

60 capsules

Retail Price: $6.99

Direct Link: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/924

The price actually surprised me a little bit. I was expecting it to be a little more expensive, but I'm not complaining.  I have recently started taking it and can't wait for the results.

One to the Head

Greetings o' ye mavens of style,

So for this spring, I'm all about the boho boy. I definitely want to continue this by embarking upon a quest for the latest accessories that echo this feeling.

With that in mind, I decided to visit a couple of my storage compounds (websites) for some supplies (fashion accessories). I headed over to Forever 21 and found this adorable headband...

This floral cutie retails for only $7.80. Head on over to Forever21.com to check it out.

Next, I headed on over to Asos...

Simply gorgeous. I want this headband so bad! It is a Grecian style gold leaf 3 strand headband. (phew, that was a mouthful). Anywhoo, it only costs $13.79.

Very nice leaf detail. View it up close at ASOS.

This is a winged version and only costs $7.76.

Finally, I saw this beauty. It features a black jewel and a single peacock feather. For only $6.90, this one is a steal. Find this one and the above over at ASOS.com now.

Can't waaaaiiiittttt,
Dismissed!

Organix Shampoo

Greetings style mavens,

Today is about clean hair.  It is very important to have a clean and healthy scalp.  This leads to healthy hair and healthy hair is easy to manage, shiny, and more cooperative when it comes to styling it.  With that being said I was recommended this shampoo from a friend.

Organix Hydrating Teatree Mint Shampoo.  This shampoo left my hair feeling clean and had a very nice minty smell without being too overwhelming.  Price- $6.99 Mmmmm...mint

Remember a hairstyle can make or break an outfit, so it is important to keep your hair healthy and clean.

New Hair, New Job

Greetings style mavens,

A week and some odd days ago I posted about an upcoming job interview that I had later that day. Well needless to say I was able to score the job! Yay me!! Anyway, I decided that such a special occasion calls for a new hair style (that and I had to cut it a little for the job). So I visited my favorite salon and the deed was done, and here it is my new hair style.

The sides are cut very short and the top gradually ascends from the back to the front. Basically, it is similar to the way I had my other just shorter. It sort of has a rockabilly feel to it. However, it is extremely versatile. I can't wait to start my new job...
