Hi Ladies,So, I got a few quick tips from my hair stylist, Stephanie Ames, who works at the IBIS Salon in Richmond. For those of you with thick, curly hair who are currently losing the "humidity hates me" battle or worse, are suffering from the 1991 "I wanna look like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman" syndrome, take Stephanie's advice and try New York's latest "In and Out" cut. I'm not aware of all the techniques involved, but I think it has to do with scoping your hair into a C shape on the sides and trimming the ends with alternating "in and out" cuts (meaning the scissors are directed toward and away from the head).
Although the cut tapers heavy ends and thins out bushy hair, which makes hair easier to straighten, it's really meant for curly hair. I'd show you my hair, but I haven't styled it today and would hate to misrepresent Stephanie's good work. So here's Sarah Jessica Parker. (This is the pic I showed to Stephanie).
And another tip from Stephanie to anyone who wants to add a pop of color to their hair, but wants to avoid the cost of filling in roots every 4 weeks. Add highlights underneath the crown of your hair so it peeks through even with your hair down, but doesn't require ongoing maintenance. Please note, this is NOT the method where you bleach the top half of your hair and dye the bottom half black....Please don't do that:)
And a special congratulations to my friend Catherine Hoose on the delivery of her baby girl, Jane:)
