Color Me Happy with Hair Chalk

how to hair chalk and DIY hair chalkBright colors have been sweeping the country with colored jeans, shoes, and accessories. Now, you can take your hair to a total bright, bold look from head-to-toe! Try hair chalking. It’s exactly what it sounds like, colorful chalk for the hair!

With hair chalking, you can complement any outfit with streaks of color. The best part about hair chalking is that there is no commitment. It’s not permanent and comes out with a simple shampoo, which means your hair’s color can change at the same pace as your outfit.

How to Apply Hair Chalk:
When applying the chalk, you always want to use pre-styled hair. Dampen the hair with water or styling spray, apply the chalk, shake the hair to remove any loose chalk, and seal with hairspray. The more you apply, the more vibrant the color.

Chalking can easily be done at home and Mane Attraction sells do-it-yourself chalk. Mane Attraction also offers a shampoo, blow-dry and chalking as part of a special package.

Beauty Trend Report: What’s Hot for Fall 2012

beauty trends for fall 2012
Fall is nearing and we are falling in love with the newest trends in hair, brought to us this week by Scissors Rox Paper salon in Paradise Valley. The salon, which recently participated in a Phoenix Fashion Week runway event, is a local leader in beauty and style. Here are tips from the salon on how to get your tresses on trend for fall…First, we have been OBSESSED with braiding. Braids were big in the spring and are especially ideal for our hot climate here in Phoenix. A braided style can work at a family gathering or a Scottsdale pool party AND can transition into evening by adding a few curls or a fun accessory.
smoky eye makeup trendSecond, we are loving contrasting texture for the fall. Combining smooth, sleek sides and front with a highly textured pony or bun are favorites of ours. Even the ever-popular down-styled curls that every celeb rocks (a la Kim Kardashian, etc.) are getting a dose of texture this fall. Our stylists have even had a sneak peek at what the stylists at Bumble and bumble are loving right now and this look will no doubt be gracing the runways in New York soon!
Finally, we can’t forget makeup to pull a total look together! Everyone loves a smoky eye, but it is sometimes a bit “much” for daytime. Our makeup team (lead by Amanda Szarmach and Veronica Chavarria) created a “soft smoky” eye for our recent runway show which combines the drama of a traditional night-out eye with the softness necessary for daytime. By using browns and beiges instead of blacks and grays, the look seamlessly transitions from day to night-every woman’s dream!Try these at home or make your appointment with Scissors Rox Paper for your own style consultation.
