How to Make Your Hair Feel Shiny and New! Reborn

I want to have shiny and new hair for all my holiday parties and I need a little relaxation from all the holiday shopping and decorating, who feels me?
I decided to pamper myself with a Reborn Treatment by TIGI available at Panache and Co Salon. I use the Awakening shampoo and conditioner at home but felt I need a boost, so into the Salon I go for The treatment.

If you haven't had this done well you should. The Reborn treatment starts with an analysis of your hair, which I found interesting, I love that kind of stuff. My stylist then took me to the dimmed lighting shampoo area and massaged/cleansed my locks with the Reborn Shampoo and Conditioner, can I just say WOW! and the smell is heavenly, and I asked for the warmed eye pad to make it more sensational ( be sure to ask for the eye pads).

I then was taken to a small nook in the salon (dimly lit of course)with a great coral like chandelier and given a nice hot cup of tea and honey. My stylist then layered on the Reborn Treatment inch by inch and the wrapped my head in a soft, lush turban. I sat catching up on the latest people magazine gossip until it was time for my rinse. Let me say this if you really love... someone this is the gift you will want to get them. This (treat)ment gave lasting shine and healthy looking hair, perfect for this party season.

Happy Holiday season people

How to achieve the Mara Hoffman Fall 2014: New Upton Hair

Nick Irwin Creative Director for TIGI international gave us the modern Uptown women with the Juxtapositions of Pop for Fall 2014 hair fashion. I can totally see this look being worn to a holiday event, club or a wedding with the right Mara Hoffman outfit. If you’re curious How To: create this lovely hairstyle please read on.

At Panache we love Fast Fixx Style Prep as a great base for any blowdry. This fantastic product protects against heat of 450 degrees F, I would say that makes this Detangle/Hydration product a must have for most of us.

1. Apply the Fast Fixx throughout your locks and blow dry. You’re looking for a smooth textured look. Be sure to make a strong side part as this will give freshness to your Uptown/Boho look.
2. One of my favorite products, the Styling Cream in the Sessions Series by TIGI Catwalk, is then applied chin level down to your ends. The amount of product depends of hair density and texture. Now French Braid, if you want more wave break into medium size braids working into one.

The Styling Cream has the buzz ingredients of the past few years, Aragan Oil, Shea Butters and Keratin. The ingredient combo is amazing, as it gives body, shine and cuts your drying time a scoach.

3. You can diffuse dry the braid or sleep on it, ladies choice.

1. Once you braid is set, gently undo the three individual sections of hair and add Motor Mouth by TIGI Bedhead. A little goes a long way with this cream; the benefit of Motor Mouth by TIGI Bedhead is its Humidity Resistant and on dry hair adds sheen and details to your style.

You’re almost there. Now most of us are home alone attempting these hairstyles and I bet you’re wondering how the hell am I going to make that little braid in the back! And spray it GOLD!

I tested the look using a long wig and the results of this step had only the slightest of variation from Mr. Nick Irwin’s Mara Hoffman Fall 2014 shape.
5.  You take a medium size claw clip and secure the hair just at your bra strap. Now gently move the hair over your shoulder to start your braid. As you will be braiding the underside of the braid make sure to work the strands under not on top.

Now lay your little braid on a solid piece of paper and apply your gold or silver colored hair spray. DONE! Well let it dry or the color gets on your clothing. If this section is a bit overwhelming ask for help or skip this part and add a gold hair accessory

I can see this look being worn to a holiday party, or a paired down version (minus the gold braid for everyday look. I love that more women are using their hair as an extension of fashion and can’t wait to see your look. Post on Facebook with the #PanacheCoBeautySD so we can see your creation. Be sure to add which Panache post is your inspiration 3>

Until Next Time

MBFW Swim at Mara Hoffman:How To

Mara Hoffman Bohemian Rhapsody

TIGI Latest product (Bodifying Spray) was used-

BBSW

For you girls that have more wave to your hair this look is perfect.

1. Just add in TIGI Bodifying Spray product in the evening and sleep on it. Note: If your hair is straight, use the 3 braid method (one on either side and one or two in the back) and start your braids at eye level.
2. In the AM flip you head over and with a large comb or your fingers comb through. I love to use my fingers.
3. Next take your TIGI curl stick, winding forward 1-2 inch section where your hair needs the boost, starting at the check bone. This will add that bohemian textured style Mr. Nick Irwin (link is a Trend Video) and his TIGI Talent Team served up at Mara Hoffman Miami Swim 2015. 

Until September 4-14th MBFW

Diamond Shape Face Shapes Like Shailene Woodley's

A great example of a diamond shaped facial shape is Kortney Kardasian. Kortney has narrowness at her forehead and a strong jaw line that pops out at the bottom of her ears; this is part of the characteristics of a Diamond Shape Face. You Diamonds then move into a nice strong tips chin, so how do I style my hair you ask? Hey Kortney Kardashin and our Guest Relations Staff Member Cynthia look like twins! Next time you're in check it out. Sorry totally off the track.

How do you style your hair if you have a diamond facial shape; Layers are a great starting point, any shape that has a bit of width from the corner of your eyes would be a great choice. Some width at the start of your chin is another volume area; do you see where I’m going with this? Great products for this type of style are TIGI Mousse range, Strong mousse for fine to normal hair types and Extra Strong for wavy to curly hair. For a little extra shine try on of Panache & Co Salons Color Directors, Sabrina Mangiavillano,s favorite products TIGI After Party, high shine with a little separation that won’t weigh your hair down.

For you that like a shorter hair style, take a look at Shailene Woodley on the April issue of Marie Claire. This is a fantastic, feminine example of short hair done right on a diamond shape face. This short hair shape can be flattering for any age.

Via Marie Claire

Your styling products for a shape like Shailene Woodley, should have some hold capabilities to them, for example TIGI Session Series Wet Look Gel. This product was a go to gel throughout  the  shows at New York Fashion week this season

Make sure to add TIGI Up Front pomade for the playful texture that make this style a winner for the spring.

How to Make My Keratin Treatment Last

How Can I make my keratin treatment last?

edit BBSW

Be sure to use a shampoo with no sulfates. Sulfates are a lathering agent that swells the surface of the hair to lift the dirt and oil away from the scalp and hair.

We have a few options here:

• Keratin Color Care Shampoo: this is a great product that extends the vibrancy of your color. It has a bit of Keratin mixed with soy and wheat proteins that give your hair the protection it needs.

I would alternate this with

• Mastey Traite sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo. Why you ask- in order for your hair to be its healthiest, a balance of moisture and proteins must be present.

Mastey Traite is so gentle you can use all over your body and it will leave you feeling soft and it combats dry scalp. Wow!

KEY to this softness is a blend of Vitamin A, B5, C, lipids, rice proteins and minerals and

Note: this product contains no polyethoxylated detergents, sulfosuccinate, sarcosinated, glucolsides or polstyrenes, for all you nature lovers.

Be sure to use the conditioners for each of these lines and you should see your Keratin Complex Treatment last and look health.

Bonus Product: Infusion by Keratin Complex

• This beauty repairs and revitalizes you hair during blow drying or ironing.
• Please ask you stylist if this is right for your hair type.

Catwalk Oatmeal & Honey Hair care,

It’s the product of choice for those of you that have tragically dried out, frizz prone hair. The ingredients sound like a comfy winter meal and the smell is sweet, warm sugar cookies; at least that’s what comes to my mind. With Oat kernel extract, Wheat protein Sunflower seed oil and Honey as just a few of the key ingredients it’s no wonder this product is so creamy thick. Other ingredients are synthetic derivatives of green tea (to prevent bacteria) and lactic acid (milk) for scalp conditioning.

Most of us turn up the heat in the shower which robs our lock of the essential moisture needed to keep it shiny and frizz free. I know I’m not ready to temp down in the shower; maybe some of you are willing to go polar bear club style in order to bring out your glossy hair, if not -TIGI Catwalk Oatmeal & Honey Trio is your answer to winter hair

I have a dance to go to and I'm breaking out, how do I get rid of the problem?

Our in house experts at Panache

1. Stress can bring on a rush of hormones that cause our skin to react with a breakout (Zit). My advise is to start with a neutral cleansing product Cetaphil , Target carries this product and it's  recommended by numerous dermatologist nation wide. It should balance the skins PH level. 
2. Next take a warm washcloth and apply it to the problem area for 7-10mins. This should move the bacteria to the surface.
3.  After apply a neutral toner, Witch hazel has long been astringent used to reduce swelling. Bonus: witch hazel helps reduce sweating and has anti-oxidant properties.
4. At night apply a product containing Benzoyl peroxide, Burts Bee makes a great natural solution for acne. I've tried this an love, just don't use the scrub right before your dance.

We hope this solves the problem in a few days. Don't pick it causes more trauma to the skin and you stand the chance of a larger breakout in the surrounding area 

Have a great dance. I'm sure you'll look just as lovely as Ashley Greene

Till next time

How do you know when lash glue has gone bad? And how do I get them off without ripping my own lashes out.

Panache Master Make up Artist

If the lash glue has separated (liquid from the opaque glue) this is an indication of rancid, or if it’s yellowish and has a super funky smell. The smells a bit but funny anyway but if it smell super smelly throw it out.
