When it comes to doing our nails, we have many choices and I'm not talking color. We can get gel nails with UV or LED at our salon, or do our nails at home with a semi-gel or traditional nail lacquer. Which is best? Which will last longest? Which one is the best cost? Which is safest? Confused yet? Let's get some answers! Which lasts longer? LED Gel nails (like Gelish by Nail Harmony) claim their polish will last 21 days. Clearly for time, this is the winner. UV Gel nails (like Shellac by CND) claim their polish will last 2 weeks. Part-Gel nails (like MIRACLE GEL™by Sally Henson) also last 2 weeks. Regular nail lacquer will last 4-7 days (longer if you use top coat) Which is the safest? Nail...

“TIPS FOR APPLYING RELAXERS TO REDUCE HAIR LOSS”

Relaxers, both no-lye and lye chemicals, can result in hair loss if not applied properly or abused. The chemicals permanently straighten hair strands by breaking the disulfide bonds resulting in a more loose curl pattern. Once that portion of the hair strand is straightened, it is should not have more chemical applied again to avoid potential hair loss. The most common side effect of relaxers is over-processing in which previously relaxed hair gets more chemical on the hair strands causing them to become extremely fragile and break. With more frequent applications of overlapping the hair strands will eventually completely ‘snap-off’ in various spots causing short and long strands of hair. Hair thinning may result if the chemicals absorb into scalp damaging follicles from the constant...
