Highlight Your Hair At Home

Highlight Your Hair At Home

Bring out the beauty of your hair without a trip to the salon

Most women love the look of highlights in their hair, but several factors, including time and money, may be keeping them from booking that salon appointment. Great strides have been made in at-home highlighting kits. You can achieve subtle or bold highlights in a variety of colors, and you can do it in the privacy of your own home. Check out these products and tips for DIY highlighting:

At-Home Hair Highlighting Products:

	Clairol Herbal Essences Highlights – Contains a highlighting comb allowing you to place highlights exactly where you want them. This low ammonia formula is gentle on hair.
	Garnier Multi-Lights – Garnier claims to have the fastest highlight kit on the market – the products stays on for just 20 minutes. The non-drip formula makes for easy application.
	Sun-in with Lemon – This is an old school highlighter that is obviously still going strong today. Spray it on, sit in the sun or apply heat from your blow dyer and you’ll get lighter hair!
	Revlon Custom Effects Highlights – I love that this kit comes with a toner to cancel any brassiness and give you beautiful, shiny color. From a trusted name in beauty – Revlon.

New Beauty Hairstyles Trend

If you have a beauty contest soon and want to win first research your facial shape, and find a style and color that will naturally look good with your facial features, eye color, and skin tone.Straight hair can be cut and styled to easily create small waves at least. All of that being said, look at the five highest ranking Miss America contestants in 2009. Kristen Dalton of North Carolina ultimately won, but Carrie Prejean of California, Alicia-Monique Blanco from Arizona, Laura Chukanov from Utah, and Maria Montgomery from Kentucky all had the same hairstyle – long, down, and wavy! You do the math.

Jennifer Hudson's Classic Beauty

One of my favorite singers/actresses on her way up has got to be Jennifer Hudson. I thought she was absolutely beautiful when she was a plus-sized girl, and I think she's still stunning, after having lost some 50 pounds or so, and going from a size 16 dress size to a 6. While I might have my own issues with the fact that she chose to lose the weight immediately after giving birth, thus buying into the Hollywood Postpartum Race to be skinny the "fastest". I think that women have enough pressure on them to be thin. The last thing you need after having a baby is to be bombarded by images of how quickly JLo, Posh, Britney, Nicole and crew have dropped back down to a barely attainable size 0. But I digress...good for you Jennifer...I ain't mad at ya.

I chose Jennifer for today's blog entry, because quite simply, I rarely see a picture where she isn't looking fabulous. She reminds me of the starlets of yesteryear; of a time when beauty was about being beautiful and feminine, not garish and outlandish like some of the celebutants we see so much in the media. I love when a woman is in touch with her feminine side and embraces it as well as Jennifer does. Her makeup is always on point (and I'm not even going to TOUCH those paparazzi pics of her jogging sans makeup - puhleeeez...you wanna see me in the morning??) Her hairstyle is always evolving; whether she's wearing it short, or super long with a wig or extensions like those pictured here. Girl, is that Miss MyMy's 20' Malaysian straight you're wearing??? Jennifer Hudson, for epitomizing classic beauty, Miss MyMy gives you a well deserved and very rare 5 MyMy's out of 5!

Spent two final grueling hot days digging for shop goods last week and managed to pick up a few things for me!

Our time away from home is drawing to an end and I am most excited to get back into familiar routine. Once home I promise more substantial updates, for now I'll leave you with an excellent update from Always the Forest on cooking up your own natural blush! I gave it a shot last night and was surprisingly pleased with the results! If you have any more natural make-up secrets up your sleeve I'd love to hear them!
