Split Ends

A haircut can be an emotional experience. For myself it is usually a monthly clean up to get rid of split ends because I am too chicken to part with my long layers and I am deathly afraid of blunt cuts. My dear friend, Stefannie Flannigan is fearless when it comes to her hair choices. Blonde, red, brown, long and short Stef has done it all. For the past two weeks, we have been filming a short film entitled, Split Ends. It showcases a woman's attempt to remove memories of her reckless past, regrets and a bad breakup with a drastic new haircut. In this short film, Stef goes from shoulder length hair to a Carey Mulligan inspired pixie cut.

This film is as low budget as they come, so rather than getting a pro to do it she trusted me with a pair of kitchen scissors--and I must say it turned out pretty sweet.

Fresh haircut hair without the haircut?

HerCut is a new product line being carried at Sephora stores and online. It promises specialized care for different types of haircuts. It also promises to enhance the longevity of your haircut and keep your hair feeling clean for up to 3 days after washing and using their products. If any of you have tried any thing from the HerCut line let me know.


I hope this does what it says it does.  I can't wait to try this out once I've finished with my never ending litres of Aveda's Clove Shampoo and Color Conserve Conditioner.

Split ends? Get a haircut.

The criteria for a healthy head of hair is shine, lack of frizz and no split ends. Split ends can be caused by excess brushing, heat styling and touching. If you thought the home airbrush machine was ridiculous then get a load of the newest "must have" hair tool, The Split Ender. It claims to take the split ends off and not cut length off from your tresses. This product is marketed to girls with long hair who think that if you cut off their hair, you cut off your overall attractiveness. Don't fill your bathroom cabinet with another tool you won't need. Get a haircut. Don't worry, it will grow back.
