Well, I’ve finally found something in Complaint-Free April that’s tested my mettle. I got bad highlights, y’all. But getting upset about my hair has also been a powerful reminder to me to be grateful that my own biggest personal problem this week is just that: My hair. I have many, many things to be thankful for in my life and, essentially, nothing real to complain about. More
Attitudes towards aging are always changing, but it’s no secret that the pressure to stay youthful-looking for as long as possible is deeply pervasive in Western culture. Nevertheless, it’s hard to pinpoint feelings of a society on a large scale, … More
Note to self: Do not bleach hair anymore. Or at least not this much. More
As somebody who has resided the nation’s snowiest city for the majority of her life, I’ve dealt with the trials and tribulations of winter for a huge chunk of each year. Because of this, I’ve managed to pick up some tricks to keeping your skin touchable, lips kissable and hands holdable. More
Olympic athlete Gabby Douglas is 16 years old and has a gold medal in gymnastics under her belt. Oprah is 58, has millions of dollars and a media empire to her name. But today, I’ve read more about their hair than their accomplishments, because apparently, the public is fascinated with black hair, and why it can’t just look like white hair at all times. More
During a recent Blisstree editorial meeting, the staff got to talking about our hair and nails. Chiefly, whether or not we believed that anything that we could purchase) could actually, as rumored, speed our slow hair and nail growth. We’d all heard about the miracles of pre-natal vitamins and an unattainably stress-free existence, but was any of it true? Is there actually anything you can take or eat do to get long, strong nails and hair, or are some of us (like me) doomed to brittle, pathetic nails for life? More
Whether you’re young or old, finding clumps of hair in your brush and the slow thinning of your luscious locks can be traumatic–especially if you’re female. The first step to determining the treatment for hair loss is to identify the cause, of which there are many. Even the pattern of hair loss can help to establish the root source. For example, women may lose hair from the crown of the head-similar to male pattern baldness-with an elevation of testosterone levels whereas nutritional deficiencies may cause generalized hair loss over the whole head. Blood tests can help determine the cause, but I also have some options for proper treatment More
Don’t blow-dry your hair. Ever. Or at least during these summer months. There are enough things, like sun and chlorine, that will damage your hair this time of year without adding this extra insult. Plus, it’ll save you time (also: geez, isn’t it just too hot for it?). If you’re concerned with the way your hair will dry on it’s own (or just can’t head into the office with a mop of dripping-wet hair), try braiding it before work. Braids are, apparently, oh-so-trendy again, and if you skip the more elaborate varieties, they take about two minutes to do. More
Looking good is a painful process, especially when it comes to hair. Luxurious coifs and ‘dos in elaborate styles don’t come without big investments of time, money, and effort. Forget the traditional wash n’ cut, today, most women today have dyed, glued, sewn, braided, rolled, clipped, fried, de-frizzed, flattened, curled, chemically relaxed, or even surgically implanted the hair on their heads. After years of constant abuse, your scalp is now paying the price, and not even celebrities are immune. Lady Gaga revealed today that her lovely locks are falling out prematurely due to a “bad romance” with her hair dye (see what I did there?) and will be forced to cool it with the blond ambition for a while. It’s hard to imagine the fame monster without her platinum hair, but then again, reverting to her natural color is preferable to sampling the bald life (although really, I wouldn’t put a stunt like that past her).
