What is your favorite shampoo and conditioner and what do you like about it?

 

Let us know!

We just wrapped up the photo shoot for our hairstyles feature (October/November issue), and we got so many cute accessories for the shoot that it was so hard to choose. There was one trend, though, that we couldn't help but notice: Big decorative headbands! Big bows, big flowers, big beads and sequins...and lots of it! Headbands are an easy great way to dress up your 'do in a hurry, which is why we love them. Don't you?! Look for the hairstyles feature when the October/November issue comes out! There will be lots of style ideas for your hair...no matter how long, how short, how curly or straight it is!

Clockwise from left: Beaded rose headband, $12.50; floral bow headband, $5.50; and sequin flower headband, $7.50; all at Claire's stores.

Q: I’m trying to grow my hair out, but it’s taking so long! How fast does my hair actually grow? A: Don’t you wish you could just snap your fingers and instantly change the length of your hair? So do we! The bad news is that’s not an option, and growing hair out can take a long time, especially depending on how long you want your locks. On average, hair grows about half an inch each month, or around six inches total per year. This varies in every person, though, so yours could be faster or slower! Help speed up the process by getting a trim every 6-8 weeks to get rid of dead ends. We know it sounds like cutting your hair would only slow things down, but getting rid of dead, split ends will keep your hair healthy…and healthy hair grows quicker! We promise it will help pick up the pace!
