Fairy Tales all natural, organic hair care for children just launched their new “Summer Hair Care” kit.  Fairy Tales Hair Care has created a specialty line of hair care products loaded with fruit enzymes and citrus extracts of lemon, grapefruit, pineapple and orange to help wash away sea salts, minerals and chlorine “green.”  An infusion of aloe, sweet almond oil, jojoba and vitamin A, E and D then deep condition and moisturize the hair leaving it soft and silky even after a day at the beach or pool.

The Fairy Tales Hair Care kit includes

Lifeguard clarifying shampoo

Lemon -Aid Conditioner

Coco Cabana leave-in Sun Spray

In addition to the hair care products they also have created a non toxic bug repellant for the little ones.  The rosemary Repel Spray contains pure, organic oils of citronella, rosemary, tea tree, lavender and geranium.  These great smelling herbs have been shown to repel bugs such as mosquitoes, gnats and head lice!

Fairy Tales Hair Care is known as the leaders of lice prevention products for hair, they launched “Lice Good-Bye” a pesticide free, all natural nit removal system, using yeast enzymes and distilled water, Lice Good-Bye dissolves the “glue” that nits stick to the hair shaft with using a comb and a steady stream of warm water, Lice Good-Bye has been shown to safely and effectively remove nits.

I was pleased to learn about the Fairy Tales Hair Care line at the Premier hair show in Orlando Fl and I can’t wait to try the products on my little one.

 I tend to worry more about what I put into my body than what goes on the outside. When in fact the chemicals found in lotions, makeup and hair dyes are something I need to consider when using these products on my body.     Recently I have been using the eyelash extensions from “Xtreme Lashes” and I began to wonder how safe this new affection with eyelash extensions really was and was it worth any risks involved?  

After researching, I was able to find one of the ingredient’s in the adhesive, “formaldehyde” linked to cancer.     1.     What is formaldehyde?

Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling gas. It is an important industrial chemical used to manufacture building materials and to produce many household products. It is used in pressed wood products such as particleboard, plywood, and fiberboard, glues and adhesives, permanent press fabrics, paper product coatings, and certain insulation materials. In addition, formaldehyde is commonly used as an industrial fungicide, germicide, and disinfectant, and as a preservative in mortuaries and medical laboratories.

  In my research I was able to find that “Xtreme Lashes” adhesive’s carry 0.001% formaldehyde which is an insignificant amount.  Tthe primary ingredient in Extreme lashes adhesives is the same ingredient used by plastic surgeons in the US to close skin wounds without stitches.    In comparison “Nova Lash” http://www.novalash.com/index.html is the only American made pharmaceutical grade extension developed by a team of chemists and physicians. Nova Lash claims that their adhesives are certified and tested, pharmaceutical grade, doctor-formulated and made in the USA. 

   In conclusion it seems both Xtreme lashes and Nova Lash’s adhesive’s are safe to use due to the extreme low levels of   Formaldehyde.

Now that summer is upon us we should start thinking of ways to protect
our hair. Sun and chlorine exposure are your worst Enemies.   With our UV rays becoming more intense year after year we have to be more cautious of our hair and skin.   Sun damage is the # 1 factor leading to aging, dehydration and
discoloring of your hair and skin. Although studies have found that the
sun is good for the body and soul, no more than 15 min per day is
recommended. Second is chlorine, prior to entering a pool or the ocean  dampen your hair and spray a small amount of leave in conditioner with a
sunscreen and a low pH (to close the cuticle) this will help protect the
hair preventing harsh elements from entering it. Once you are out of the water,
rinse your hair with fresh water for 3 to 5 min,  use a demineralizing
shampoo and conditioner and then follow it up with your leave in
conditioner.   This will close the cuticle layer of your hair shaft and
stabilize any free radicals. Demineralizing treatments are recommended
to remove minerals and discoloration such as green in the hair from
pools and orange from well water, they stabilize the hair after being
exposed to harsh elements.  Consult your stylist on demineralizing
products and treatments that are offered at the salon.  Have a happy
Healthy Summer.

Thank you Von Miller photography 985.381.1928 for these wonderful photos! For those of you that have not read any of my recent posts about Xtreme lashes eyelash extensions here are some images to see.  Xtreme lashes are a painless procedure where lashes are individually placed to your existing lashes and last a few months oppose to the falsys  that last maybe two days. There is no mascara needed and they look completely natural.  Our favorite Xtreme gal is Kit Kerwin and she can be reached at 352.978.4400

Hair truly can….    

Hair truly is very important and is always the common denominator among woman.  Everywhere I go I end up having conversations about hair usually because someone else brings it up.  I end up pulling out my hair extensions in the bathroom and giving lessons on how to put them in and where to buy them.  I have cards and numbers of all my favorite stylist and pass them out regularly.  We want Videohairstyles.com to be a place where you can learn something, share ideas and talk all about HAIR.  I posted these pictures of me with all the different colors to show the drastic difference a color and style can do to your look, your attitude and others perceptions.  Each will have their own opinion but will draw a completely different image to my personality from my hair, when in fact I am the same person as a blonde than I am as a brunette with bangs and that is in my opinion the power of hair.       Tiana Griego Creative Director for Videohairstyles.com 

Throughout the first year it was difficult to get the project started with little budget, I asked favors form people I knew, thankfully I had been working as a makeup artists and had many contacts that were glad to help out without charging me.  I saw great visions and possibilities and continually had dreams about the growth of the website and it eventually became my passion.     I decided to bring on more partners with the hopes that they would have the same ambition and pour their heart’s and soul’s into the project just as I did.  Through trials and errors I have learned and grown a lot and my heart has taken the original concept in a different direction.  Inspired by Bono’s project red http://www.joinred.com/ I saw on Oprah the amount of money he brought to helping Aids in Africa by donating the majority of the sale of “Red” products from such companies as “Apple”, “Emporio Armani” and “Gap” and I saw the possibilities of doing the same with videohairstyles.com.  My goal is to work with all different types of stylists throughout the world and eventually build up a huge library of “hairstyle” videos, sell them as pod cast’s and donate all the profits to different organizations.  The consumer will be able to choose which organization he/she wishes to donate to.
