essentials of a jetsetter

So I am leaving for a few weeks to Europe, and my ultimate goal is to travel out of a moderate size bag, and that’s it. After much trial and error with trips to the gym and sleep overs, I have found the best travel combo without skimping on having hot babe hair. This is what I have in my travel bag: the mini Marilyn Downtown brush, the BioIonic TravelPro blow dryer, three mini Go Toob containers one with DermaOrganic Shampoo, Conditioner and the Argon Oil, and last, but not least the Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo.

I love the mini Marilyn, because it takes the place of a wide tooth comb and a round brush. Plus, it’s made out of bore bristles so it helps to smooth my hair. The mini blow dryer is simply a must have. It’s half the size of my full size dryer yet just as powerful. This mini gets the job done quickly and is ionic, which means it smoothes the cuticle of your hair making it shinny and hydrated.

Then I love the Go Toob containers. You can put just about anything in them, and if you have never seen them, they collapse down as you use up your product, which ultimately means more room in your bag in the long run. As for the product, I’ll put into my Go Toobs is the DermaOrganic Shampoo, Conditioner, and Argon Oil. The Argon oil is an all around fabulous styling product and leave in conditioner, protecting your ends and smoothing out the hair. Finally, in between shampooing, I’ll touch up my hair with the dry shampoo, which refreshes my hair by absorbing excess oil, while giving it a lift. The results are continuous happy hair!! Give it a try! Enjoy!

buns on the town

Lately, I’ve been loving all these adorable samurai top knots. This ballerina inspired bun is super versatile. It’s an easy go-to style when you’re in a rush, and don’t have time to wash your hair, or better yet when you’re trying to take a break from all your styling tools. It’s super easy: just pull your hair back to a high pony tail, secure with a hair ban, tease the tail, lightly twist into a bun and secure with bobby pins. Then accessorize with some cuty earrings, a dainty necklace, or some hip glasses,and you're out the door!

hair hero vidal sassoon

On May 9, 2012, world class hairdresser and pioneer Vidal Sassoon passed away in his Los Angeles home at the age of 84. Vidal Sassoon liberated women from the 50s era of bouffants and beehives, where previously women had to maintain the up keep with weekly visits to beauty parlors. As a hair architect, Vidal envisioned hair to take on a different form beyond shampoo sets, over teasing and a lacquer finish. Vidal was the first of his kind to step outside the box and create wash-n-wear hair. Here, he was inspired to cut the hair according to body structure best suited to a woman’s face shape. Vidal harnessed the craft of carving geometric shapes into the body of the hair creating angles, layers, gradation and movement. He saw hair at its best and utilized the hair’s natural shine as the finishing touch. By such hair sculpting, Vidal transformed iconic hair styles to become efficient and modern. Today he is known as the originator of “the bob” and the five point cut, familiarly known as the iconic Beatles-do. Beyond his excellence as a haircutter, Vidal was a brilliant business man and writer. While he will be greatly missed, Vidal leaves behind an extraordinary legacy, which continues to pave the way for hairdressers, fashion designers and everyday people around the globe.

a client testimonial

Hi Mishi, Thanks for checking in. I love my hair even more now. The day I got the ombre done I was still getting to know my new hair–now we are the best of friends. And I am having fun with it too!

The whole thing has made me update my look and have also discovered that waves look great on my hair and that it makes me look younger. Without drawing huge conclusions, the whole thing has forced me to take better care of myself and even dress better. I have received tons of compliments and comments since then.

So THANK YOU. I just saw your video on the fior avanti product (that cherry vinegar) so I will swing by soon and get a bottle.

I am definitely talking about MORPHIC!

Stay cool and don't move to NYC.

Cheers,

Flo
