Shampoo tips to extend your haircolor – Makeup – Hair Tips & Tricks

Shampoo tips to extend your haircolor – Makeup – Hair Tips & Tricks

Don’t Fade Away: Does Color Extending Shampoo really work and why do I need to use it? Color Extend Shampoos protect hair to extend the life and vibrancy of haircolor. Make sure the product you use is formulated with Anti-Fade properties as well as UV filters. UV filters help lock in color and lock out radicals from the environment (radicals are things like mineral-rich water, frequent washing with harsh shampoo, chorine and environmental pollutants). Color-treated hair is vulnerable and damage can cause color fade, and hair to be dry, and look dull. Exposure to damaging UV rays also contributes to color fading and damaged hair shafts. Dry, damaged, porous hair can resist color, creating uneven results and a very dissatisfying color experience. Specialty shampoos can cost a little more but why not protect the investment you made in a color service. Some hair care product lines also carry a companion conditioner for color treated hair specially formulated to work together with the shampoo or by itself. For a personalized shampoo and conditioner prescription contact Amy at A K Parrish Salon (akparrish@yahoo.com).

Senior Portrait Tip- More is not always better

By admin | Published May 20, 2009

“More is not always better”

blondbullseyesmall Senior Portrait Tip More is not always better

Applying too much conditioner on your hair is wasteful and sending good money down the drain. It is a common misconception that when applying conditioner to your hair it should be oozing and dripping off the ends. Conditioner should be applied starting at the ends and working your way up to the crown of your head. If your hair has a tendency to get oily or is fine, skip the roots and pamper the ends. You should apply just enough conditioner that your hands run smoothly through your hair. If the ends soak up the conditioner it is okay to add a little more. Don’t “lather” the conditioner through your hair but rather run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb in a downward motion to distribute. Conditioner is designed first and foremost to detangle the hair and “lathering” the hair with conditioner will not distribute the product evenly, can cause tangling and leave a residue that weighs the hair down. If you follow these guidelines and your hair still feels dry or oily than chances are you are using the wrong product. For individual hair analysis and product recommendation call Amy at A K Parrish Salon.

Senior Portrait Makeup Tip#2

Makeup Tip#2 “Don’t fade away”

“Don’t fade away”. How do I make my lipstick wear longer? This trick works best when using a matt finished lipstick or lip pencil (matt means no shine or shimmer). First, gently pat your lips with facial powder prior to applying your lipstick. Apply a generous amount of lipstick. Blot your lips with a tissue. Take a clean tissue and hold it over your lips, with the other hand, gently pat facial powder (sparingly) to the tissue over your lipstick. You should not see much if any of the powder. This can take some practice to get the right amount of powder applied before and over your lipstick. I prefer to use a lip pencil or lip crayon for more staying power. They seem to have more concentrated pigments and give a nice “stain” to your lips.

Senior Portrait Makeup Tip #1 – "The Eyes have it"

By admin | Published April 6, 2009

Makeup Tip # 1 – “The eyes have it”

“The eyes have it”. Go ahead, play up those beautiful eyes. Experiment with colors,
eyeliners, shadows and shimmer. Just remember, if you wear strong eye make-up, tone
down the lip color. There is a slim line between sassy and trashy. Keep your lip color
to a soft neutral or even a lightly tinted gloss. The same goes for your blush or
bronzer – too much color on your face can look clownish. Whatever feature you want to
showcase should be in the spotlight, and not competing for attention.
