Another DIY up do, for post workout YUCKY hair!

 Today I'm going to show you another easy Up Do, for yuck 2 day old, post workout hair. This one it a little bit more casual, but still super pretty! Again, no hot tools needed, just 2 elastics, some bobby pins, Dust Its and Freeze!

Back Comb, the same as last time... 

                                                                           Place a deep side part in your hair, and smooth the back combing with a cushion brush. Leave some of the back coming so that you hair doesn't look SLICK. Again, I left some texture for a more organic feel. Using your first elastic, pull the hair to one side and secure it into a low, side pony tail!

With a 2nd elastic I turned the pony into a 'messy bun.' I did this by wrapping the elastic around the original pony once, then a second time without pulling the hair all the way through and then a third time to add even more 'mess!' *This is hard to explain, but if you are a girl and you have long enough hair to make a messy bun, YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THIS! It comes naturally! - Don't complicate things, just do a messy bun! 

Then manipulate the sections of hair, with you hands but pulling them and pinning them to your scalp. You can't make a mistake, keeps pinning pieces until you like the way it looks! So easy!!! Again, practice make's perfect!

What do you think??? 

Try it yourself and let me know how it goes!

DIY Up Do, to cover post workout hair!

As promised, Some easy UP styles for the 'not so freshly washed' hair....

Today's Style, is called: The Shell... 

*My hair is CRAZY long, it works better on shorter locks! 

 Here's what I started with... This is what my hair looks like after 2 days with out shampooing, and one sweaty workout! (After my workout I used the tips I gave you in my previous post to keep it looking as FRESH possible)

Because I already had a little bit of Dust It in my hair, it was VERY easy to get volume with some back-combing.

Using a comb, add volume to the top of your head by teasing. I generally add WAY more height than I would ever need! It's easier to remover volume than ADD more volume!

Using my hands, and a small cushion brush I pulled my hair into a pony tail. *Don't be afraid to really brush threw the top layer of back coming, you will still have height!  

I personally like to leave a bit of texture on the pony, but you can pull it completely smooth if you would like!

Here's what it looked like, from the back!

I could take a strand of hair from the pony, wrap it around the elastic, pin it to stay and be done.... but I thought I would should you something a bit more complex!

 

Okay, So I took ANOTHER elastic and wrapped it around the original pony 2 times, on the 3rd I only pulled the hair, half way through.

*When I was in High School a lot of girls wore their hair like this.... YIKES, let's keep going...

From here take the tail (the hair that isn't forming the loop) and use it to hide the elastic by wrapping it around and pinning!

The 'loop,' or fold over of hair is hollow. Fish a bobby pin through the loop to the lowest point or center of looped hair. Pin that portion of hair down to your scalp. Then play with the rest of the hair, on either side of the first pin to find a shape that you like. Keep fishing pins through the loop and pin to the scalp. Repeat this on the other side of initial pin! Tadaah!! You have a classy and elegant shell!                                               P.S. Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of the back of your head??? YEASH!

  



The Shell can be worn lower on the nape or higher on the crown! You can also flip the shell, by pulling it up and pinning it above the pony, rather than bellow! Remember, practice makes perfect!

Finishing Touches:

Spray with Osis Freeze to Hold in Place and to hold down any fly aways...

Use black liquid liner, lots of highlight and a bold lip to polish it all off!

Hot, sweaty hair! How to avoid having to shampoo SO frequently in the summer!

I've been sucked into the wedding vortex!!! Ack!

I have to apologize, it seems for the past month our posts have been related to NOTHING OTHER THAN WEDDINGS!

'Tis the season right? I'm finding it hard to focus on anything other than bridal simply because everyone around me, friends, family and clients are planning weddings!

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for all of these people and I LOVE doing bridal hair and make-up, in fact it's the Lift Beauty Girls' Specialty... but I feel I should share some thing else with my lovely readers!

So recently I was asked by a fellow blogger, what to do about the dreaded sweaty hair!

In the spring, I helped this lovely lady with going from daily shampooing to a 3-4 day shampooing cycle! Hoorah!

She however has decided to train for a half marathon! WOWZA! If only I could say the same for myself - maybe one day, right?

She mentioned that since she has started to train she's had to go back to daily shampooing because of the heat and perspiration.

Her request?

Some tricks on how to avoid the every day shampoo without having to wear her hair in a pony!

F.Y.I There's nothing wrong with a pony! 

Maybe over the next few post I'll show you some tricks on quick "up" styles to hide post work out hair!

I too have gotten my hair trained to be able to go 3-4 days without washing, it's amazing! However, I've also started working out more frequently, I may not be training for a marathon, but give me some credit! hehe

Fact of the matter is, I CAN NOT GO 3-4 days without shampooing when I'm working out regularly, but I can go 2-3! YAY

The Tricks:
1. When working out, don't pull you hair back TIGHT! Try keeping it as loose as possible!
2. When you get home from the workout blow dry your roots, with a LOW heat. *Don't let the moisture dry on it's own!
3. Brush your hair with a wooden bristle brush.
4. DUST IT!!! If you don't have this product, I suggest your get it!
This should get you an extra day or 2!
5. When you jump into the shower to finally wash those locks, give yourself lots of time!  2 shampoos will be necessary, the first with a DEEP cleansing shampoo and the second with a volume shampoo or moisture shampoo! *My suggestions: BC's "Deep Cleanse Shampoo" - $14.00 + BC's "Volume Boost Shampoo" or "Moisture Kick Shampoo" - both $14.00.


Let me know how it works out for you!

Lauren’s last update on beauty from the fabulous land of France!

After spending 5 days in Paris, we spent the last half of our trip in the French Rivera. Such an amazing trip and what beautiful views we saw. For this half of the trip it was just relaxing and sitting by the pool in the sun most days and going out for dinner at night. Now I definitely wanted to incorporate some of the chic beauty looks I used in Paris but a vacation by the pool requires some modifications.

For sunny vacations I know the beauty drill... SUNSCREEN. In the morning I would make sure to load my hair up with Blonde Me Leave in Conditioner and Buff to protect my hair from the sun then I would just twist it up into a bun. For my face I strict SPF 60 or higher (I am very fair) and then I went with just a little of Lift Cosmetics Flawless finish to make my skin look even, used some of our Waterproof Black Mascara too. But a day of swimming in chlorine and sunning can make for some messy hair so I opted against the messy bun for evening. After a day in the sun I had to struggle just to comb through all my frizz!

 To get a chic evening look after that scary pool hair I would load my hair with Moroccan Oil to get it to smoothed out and brushed through nicely. Then I would pull it into a low pony tail and just pin it up randomly to secure it. I don’t have any pictures of it from the back sadly but just picture the big bun I showed you before but placed lower.

 (This isn't my hair - mine looked a bit messier, this is on a client at Lift done by Emily, but it gives you an idea of how it looked!)

I kept the front really smooth and frizz free to look more elegant. Then I did a subtle version of our Paris makeup look to polish off my evening style. Some Oynx Liner, Flirt Lipstick and a little Flawless Finish and some Waterproof mascara and I was set! 

Well now you know all the hot beauty looks I discovered in Paris! Summer in Toronto is the perfect place to try them out! Any questions on how to perfect your own summer look? Just call Lift at 416-960-5438 and you can come in for a complimentary consultation. Or get the Lift Beauty Girls to come to you to teach you and your friends the new looks at home by planning a beauty party. Call us for details! 416-960-5438

Hair in France... I wanna bring all of their Style HOME!

As promised I am back! (It’s Lauren again is what I mean) I have more French beauty styles to share with you from my honeymoon! I have already told you about the very glam French makeup trends I followed in Paris now let’s move on to hair!

Between strolling along the streets in Paris and boat rides along the Seine I noticed those Parisian Ladies have some gorgeous hair. It just looks effortless and truly chic. 

My goal was to NOT LOOK LIKE A TOURIST, blend in as much as possible obviously I had to try and copy their looks.

There were two looks that stood out to me to be true Parisian trends. The first is so simple, yet so effective. Easy to create but very beautiful and touchable! The ladies with their hair down had it soft and smooth (not frizzy) but very windblown and it didn’t look as though it had been curled or straightened. To get this look I let my hair dry naturally with tons of Moroccan Oil in it to keep it smooth (my hair is naturally quite large and frizzy) and a spraying of Glamour Queen to give volume. Once it was dry (the next morning) I took my Amika Iron with the 3 different sized curling wands (LOVE THIS IRON) and set it up with the largest size Iron. Let’s just say I am so glad I brought a power adapter to make this iron work in Paris cause I would have been a fuzzy mess without it! I touched up the funny looking pieces by wrapping them around the iron to smooth them out and immediately shook my hair out not leaving time for any curl to set. Sprinkled in some Dust it and gave my hair another shake and voila! I had soft windblown hair after just a few minutes!

The other trend I saw with hair over in Paris was a very high, very messy bun. I loved this look. It took two minutes in the morning and it reminded me of a messy, day version of my glamorous wedding hair!

I knew how to create this look from tips I had gotten from Emily over our time working together. Got to love having a Best Friend who can teach you amazing hair tricks! What I would do was spray my hair with Glamour Queen and sprinkle Dust It on the roots for volume! Then I would pull my hair up into I high ponytail on the top of my head. I would tease the hair in the ponytail and then just throw bobby pins in it randomly to secure it. It was fool proof, I couldn’t mess it up and I felt like I fit right in with those chic Parisian girls!

We were off to the French Rivera next! So make sure to read our blog next time to hear about the easy summer looks I created abroad!

The Bride Herself!

The Bride!

 

Here is how to get the Disney Princess bridal look.

Emily has gone over all over the amazing looks she created for all my favourite girls (herself included ) but who better to describe the bridal look than the bride herself!?!

I told Emily she could do whatever she wanted and I knew I would love it, and that most certainly came true. No matter what she did with my hair if she likes it I KNOW I will; I have complete trust. So I wasn’t worried at all about showing her pictures of what I wanted or trying to explain my look because she just knows me! I am a lover of all things Disney (especially Cinderella) and had the castle venue and the ball gown -- what next but the PERFECT princess bun.

Here is what Emily did... She asked me to smooth out my hair with a blow dryer the night before so it wasn’t frizzy. No prob! I loaded up my strands with Moroccan Oil and Osis Buff to condition my hair and help hold the smooth style. I used a round brush to get my locks frizz free. On the day of... the first thing Em did was spray my hair with some Glamour Queen and sprinkled in some Dust-it to get volume! Then she pulled my hair up into a high pony tail and use her hands to soften it at the scalp so there was some shape (I don't like a SLEEK pony). She knew I wanted the bun to look FLAWLESS, and it needed to have height and DRAMA! Thought my hair is long and THICK, Emily thought she would garuntee perfection by using the aid of STUFFING! Using some magical doughnuts (as I call them) she placed them around the pony tail stacked to create lots of volume. Yay! Then she took my hair and smoothed it over and around the doughnuts to create this flawless magic bun with tons of height! It was time to seal with lots of Sessions Hairspray. Did I love it? OF COURSE! I knew I would, it was the perfect ‘do for me! Then I felt just like a real princess as she placed my Tiara on the top of my head around the bun.

To complete my look I had to have those big Disney princess eyes and Joy was up to the task! Using Lift Cosmetics she evened out my skin with Flawless Finish Lite-n-Sweet and then brightened my cheeks with Temptress blush. Adding lots of glow with Stardust shimmer powder to highlight my skin and eyes she then smoked them out with Taupe and Black Magic eye shadows and some Onyx Eyeliner.  We went big with a full set of lashes and finished my princess look off with Flirt Mineral Vanilla Bean Lipstick and a touch of Mint Sugar Plum Gloss.

My look was perfect for me, and of course Emily knows me so well she would have no problem at all creating a look that made me feel my best on such a big day. A BIG THANKS to Joy and Emily for making us all look and feel so beautiful that day!

Wanna try my look? We carry all the products used in our store! Mention this post and you can get 15% any of the products we used for my big day! Call Lift Beauty Boutique to book us for your special day at 416-960-5438.

My "Look" for the wedding!

I don't think I mentioned to all of you, the disaster that I had with my dress for Lauren's Wedding... but oh was it a disaster!

I had purchased this amazing dress (that I felt great in) at BCBG in Florida, while I was there in December.

It was a simple, but romantic, black gown. Being the 5 foot little person that I am, I knew I would have to have it hemmed. As the date started to creep closer and closer, I realized how nervous I was about having the dress hemmed because I don't know a reliable place here in Toronto. 

So I figured I would called the closest BCBG to me (Young and Bloor) and ask where they refer their clients to, for alterations. 

The manager of BCBG gave me the name and address to a place that she highly recommends and sends ALL of her clients to. So I felt like I couldn't go wrong...

You see where this is going, don't you?

Long story short, I had the dress pinned, and it looked amazing, but when I went to pick it up a week later...

I was shocked to find a butchered dress! 

With 2 weeks until the wedding, and me being the pickiest shopper EVER, I started to panic and it took EVERYTHING in my power not to cry, scream, and yell!

The guy at the alterations place told me there was nothing he could do to fix it and then stared at me blankly!

Luckily Lauren was there and spoke up! She asked "So, are you going to pay to replace the dress?"

He chuckled and said, "No!"

It was then that I ponied up and asked to speak with his manager. I got her on the phone and was told by her to go back to BCBG and buy a new dress, once I had the new dress I was supposed to bring the receipt back to them and they would send it off to head office, and she says "MAYBE, you MIGHT, be reimbursed for the new dress." 

MAYBE and MIGHT weren't good enough for me, these dresses are PRICEY!

So Lauren and I went over to BCBG to look at the dresses and see if there was even anything I liked! Lauren suggested that the first thing we do, is speak to the BCBG manager and tell her what the situation was!

She was SOOOOOOOO sweet and apologetic! In the end she decided to let me scavenge the store with 2 sales associates at my disposal to find a NEW dress with LITTLE time to spare - she told me "Not to worry about a thing" and that she would deal with ALL of it!

At the time I didn't know what this meant, but I let the sales people walk me around the store, and help me with sizes. Unfortunately there wasn't much left! It was prom season, as well as bridal season. There were only 4 floor length dresses for me to choose from and sizing was definitely and issue! 

The one I liked MOST was only available in a size 0 or a size 14, Eeeeks!

I got the size 0 on, *with the help of Lauren and 2 sales ladies, but it was on, and decided I would take it and just loose a little bit of weight (in 2 weeks!)

I went to the check out to see what the manager really meant by "NOT TO WORRY ABOUT A THING," and was pleasantly surprised to find that she REALLY meant that!

I walked out of BCBG with a new dress, and didn't even spend a penny!!!

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

I have to say, I wasn't in love with the new dress the way I was with my origonal, but it would do and I was thankful for the amazing staff of BCBG!

I was careful with what I ate from that point until the wedding and was sure to work out as much as I could, because I didn't want to look like a sausage in my dress!

Of course the night before the wedding, I lost all of my will-power because of stress and ate a tub of ice-cream! Oh silly me!

Okay, so the focus of the day was obviously the BRIDE and her family, I was at their home in Newmarket, early in the morning to make them pretty and knew that there would probably be NO time for me to Doll up!

The night before I curled my hair, and the morning of, before heading to Newmarket I did my make-up!

Here's how it turned out!

Oh Amika and Osis, How I love you - I can do my hair the night before - sleep - and still look half decent! What would I do without you?

And the 3rd Look.... Amanda!

Amanda

The Last of The Brides Maids...

Not a blood relative, but she may as well be! 

Their Mom's are BFF's (they even look alike), grew up in each others homes and they share all of the same childhood memories!! 

She's known as the honourary sister!

She's a beautiful girl with a flawless smile, who general goes simple - less is more kind of girl!

... but her make-up for the day screamed GLAMOUR and her jewelry did too! 

So I figured, WHY NOT - let's to a Hollywood inspired Oscar-esque style!

I was warned that Amanda's hair doesn't hold a curl so well, so I figured lets play it safe and pin it ALL back, while still keeping it romantic and feminine.

My inspiration:

I put a DEEP side part in Amanda's hair and curled with my 1" barrel (Medium in the Amika Set). Used my infamous concoction of Osis products to produce volume, texture and HOLD. 

Glamour Queen . Dust It . Elastic . Freeze . Sessions

Here's how it turned out!

The Trick:

Make a LOOSE pony tail with all of the curled hair from the ears back - leaving the front sections of your hair loose! 

With bobby pins, secure the pony tail into a loose and messy bun! 

Starting on one side pull small sections of the loose hair from the front - towards the bun and secure into place with bobby pins!

Continue pinning on both sides... there's no RIGHT or WRONG here, just pin in a visually pleasing way!

Check in Next week to see how we achieved the Bride's Princess inspired "Look!"

Lauren's Little Sister - Her "LOOK" for the big day!

Kathleen

A.K.A. 

Beanie

This Natural Beauty brightens every room she enters with her vibrant smile and kind heart!

She very well, might be the sweetest person I've ever met!

Her only 2 requests on this big day were:

1. "Make me Look Pretty!"

2. Incorporate a gorgeous hair comb which she had purchased for the wedding!

I wanted to make sure that Kathleen looked young and fresh, to be true to her age! 

After all she is the baby sister! 

Kathleen was the first to get her make-up done by the TALENTED Joy, 

One of our Fav' Lift Beauty Girls!

She had chosen a FULL false lash that made her already BIG beautiful eyes POP! 

I figured, she had DRAMA on the eyes, so let's keep her hair down and sweet!

That's just what we did! 

Again using a smaller iron than I would normally (Smallest barrel in the Amika set), I curled 1 inch sections of her hair.

Using the same formula of Dust it, Glamour Queen, Elastic, Freeze and Sessions.

(We should ALL have these 5 products in our hair styling cavalry!!!)

I wanted Kathleen's hair to be fun and flirty, so instead of setting the curls into a PERFECT "set", I let each curl fall as I pulled the iron away from the head! 

I added texture to the curls by back combing the roots and separating the curls by running my fingers threw each one.

This lovely lady LOVES volume!

So after her whole head was curled I applied more Dust it and had her toss her head upside down and SHAKE HER HAIR ALL ABOUT!

WOAH Volume and texture, looked super hot and sexy, but we were looking for something a little sweeter!

I tamed it down a little by pulling one side back but still leaving some volume! 

I used her beautiful embellished hair comb so secure it!

I don't seem to have a picture that shows off the amazing hair piece! Sorry

Remember to get the look you have to wrap the curls AWAY from your face on the iron!

The Lift Beauty Girls can be a part of you special day too...

Wedding, Prom, Birthday, Sweet 16, Bat Mitzvah, you name it!

Lauren's Maid of Honour - How to get her Look!

Alicia

Amazingly styled, confident, funny and naturally beautiful!

Alicia, Lauren's sister and Maid of Honour is a Fashion Stylist with one of the Top agencies in Toronto. She is constantly surrounded by fashion, glamour and the top make-up and hair artists in the city, at magazine shoots, runways shows and more...

I have had the pleasure of being Alicia's hair stylist for the past 3 years... but the pressure was on for this event! I had the challenge of working with 2 different hair textures on ONE head - Alicia's natural hair is collar bone length, but for the wedding, she wanted a little more length and fullness so we brought in some extensions! I was able to match the colour PERFECTLY, but it is next to impossible to mimic hair textures!

Alicia's natural hair holds a curl beautifully - but the extensions definitely didn't!

I have to say, it was pretty nerve wracking - knowing that Casa Loma didn't have air conditioning and the weather was calling for CRAZY humidity! My fear was the Alicia's natural hair would hold the style we chose but that the extensions would fall straight! Imagine how silly that would look! My anxiety got the best of me, through nightmares the week before! I wasn't just the stylist at this wedding, but also the BFF, reader, and guest -  the entire family/all attendees KNEW it was ME who did the hair! *I had to find a way to make this work while still giving Alicia the "Look" she desired!

Here's how I did it:

I set Alicia's hair in a VERY neat and tidy, traditional "curling iron set." 

I worked from the nape up,clipping the extensions in as I reached the desired locations. 

I was sure to use Glamour Queen and Dust It at the roots, Elastic at the mid-shafts and ends, and Freeze after the hair was curled.

Because I knew the extensions were less likely to hold a curl, I used a smaller curling barrel than I would normally to achieve the *LOOK we were going for!

On the extensions I used my 3/4" Iron and on Alicia's natural hair, I used my 1" Iron.

(Small and Medium Sized Barrels in the Amika Set)

When her entire head was in the SET, I sprayed all over with Freeze and the Sessions (Sessions = Osis' Hardest hold hair spray - AMAZING stuff) 

I kicked Alicia out of my chair and moved on to the other ladies. 

A couple of hours later and I had Alicia sitting in my chair again - it was time to take the set down and see how the curls looked!

Once all of the pins where out I brushed her hair heavily with a cushion brush.

The curls were still VERY strong, but we knew they would drop as soon as we stepped outside!

I sprayed her again with Sessions and her hair looked FABULOUS all night long! Here's the final look!

Classic, Timeless, and Elegant - Just Like Alicia herself!

Going back on my word... Sorry! Lauren's Bachlorette!

I know I said I would go over each of the 4 characters from Sex In the City 2, but it seems that absolutely every blog out there is doing that! So I'm stopping half way threw and moving on to something else....

Hope you don't mind!

Let's talk about
Lauren's Bachlorette Party!

Yikes, What a night...

I have to admit that it has been years since I've gone to the club district for a girls night out and I actually felt nervous about it...

I had worked the entire day and then styled the Bride herself, the last thing I wanted to do was go home and get dolled up myself!

I know I'm a boring old hag - I just love my pj's, couch & pasta after a long week of work!

But I had to SUCK it up and get gorgeous for my BFF! I would totally expect her to do the same for me!

Why talk about what I looked like when we can talk about LAUREN!
HOLY Victoria's Secret RunWay look! Smoken HOT!
Here's how we did it...
1. I curled large sections of her hair with my Amika medium size barrel (from the Amika 3pc Iron set - On sale right now at Lift for $200.00, normally $250.00 )
2. As each section was curled I rolled the curl back up to her scalp and pinned them into a "roller set" minus the rollers - you can use bobby pins to hold the curls in place.
I used Glamour Queen and Dust it on the roots, and Elastic on the Mid-shafts/ends.

3. Once I had her entire head of hair pinned up, I made her wear this old fashion looking set ALL day at work - our clients thought it was Hilarious! It isn't necessary to let your hair set for a full 8hr work day, but if you can, WHY NOT?? (The shortest amount of time for setting would be a a suggested 10min.)
*Here's Lauren working on a client with our new Summer Collection - Pretty!

 4. When all of the clients left, I sat Lauren in my chair and pulled all of the setting pins out!
5. I sprayed with Freeze and ran my hands through the curls to encourage LARGE, expanded, messy curls! I did a little bit of teasing at the roots and then pinned the sides back to make it appear "half up."

So Sexy!!!

Add some drama to the eyes, a killer dress and some pink champagne!


What do you think???

Try it at home and let me know how it works out!

Day 3 of Hair Science

Continued from yesterday....

So, I had succeeded in training my hair to produce less oil and therefore was able to go a day or 2 between Shampooing! Hurray!

I knew that my PH balance had leveled out because I my scalp wasn't producing as much oil and grease! BUT my bottle of Shampoo was empty...

NEXT STEP:

I chose to switch shampoos to Schwarzkopf's BlondMe Reflective Luminosity Shampoo!

*Most professional shampoos do have a balanced PH level, so once your scalp is balanced you should be safe to switch to ANY of Schwarzkopf's Shampoos! I'm going to try their NEW VOLUME Shampoo and Conditioner next. 

 Here's my hair schedule and how I make one Shampoo last 4 days!

Day 1: Shampoo and condition hair in the shower - towel dry hair - Apply BUFF to the mid shafts and ends and spray all over with GLAMOUR QUEEN - Go to bed with hair wet! *By NOT blow drying your hair from WET to DRY you are saving it the stress of direct heat!

Day 2: Wake up with hair a MESS! Blow dry the roots (whether they are wet or dry) to fluff up the hair - add another light spray of GLAMOUR QUEEN! Then I enhance my natural shape. Ex. If my hair is mostly straight that day I touch up the few strands that have a wave with a flat iron. If my hair has a nice wave to it, I enhance it by curling a few locks with a similar sized curling iron. If it's a complete mess, I brush it out and curl the entire head!

Day 3: Brush out my hair, weather it is straight or curly - add DUST IT (Dust It helps me go the exta couple of days by mattifying my hair! The texture feels weird but it definitely does the trick and looks wicked - it adds volume too) and another spray of GLAMOUR QUEEN - touch up any funny pieces from your slumber with a curling iron or flat iron, shake it out and go.

Day 4: Brush threw, toss head upside down - shake with your hands, flip over and smooth out. Add a small amount of MOROCCAN OIL to the ends - pin a few pieces back and go!

Day 5: WASH! I do 2 shampoo's and conditioner and start over again!

I hope you try training your hair! Let me know how it works out!

All of the products that I use are available at LIFT and are relatively low in $$$,  call 416-960-5438 to get them!
