It’s that time of the year where your social schedule is packed with events to celebrate!
New dresses, cute shoes, and maybe a little something extra for your hair?
My personal favorite are jeweled hair combs. They are easy to use, simply push hair back (away from the face or tuck behind your ear) and insert a comb; smaller combs work better in pairs. Get creative, express your unique personal style…I’ve seen some FashionNistas create super-funky styles with their hair combs!
I’d love to see your Holiday Hairstyles, so take a minute and post your pictures HERE before the holiday season is gone!

Keratin Hair Treatments
Some hair salons are starting to take precautions against possible formaldehyde in hair straightening products like the Brazilian Blowout.
Concerns that the popular hair smoothing solution, known generically as Brazilian or Keratin treatments, could expose hair stylists to health risks. Investigations into the product in the United States and Canada led to product being pulled from shelves in Canada along with a warning issued to stylists and consumers who used it. In the US, the FDA and Federal Trade Commission are still conducting their investigations.
Stories of those who have suffered ill effects from the Brazilian Blowout started in 2007, including an article in Allure magazine piece titled “Scared Straight”. The magazine collected samples of the treatments and them to an FDA-registered lab for testing where it was determined that they contained ten times more formaldehyde than the .2 percent that is determined to be safe by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, exposure to large amounts of the chemical can cause serious health problems, including cancer.
OSHA, the Agency responsible for workplace safety and health in the US, issued an alert warning September 30, 2010 that samples of the Brazilian Blowout and Acai Professional Smoothing Solution (both sold by the same company) contained between 4.85 and 10.6 percent formaldehyde. When Canada’s health agency tested Brazilian Blowout, it found 12 percent formaldehyde.
BEWARE and do your homework on all new products!!
