Hair Sticks – Cool accessories for your style.

Hair Sticks seem to be a traditional Asian method for holding hair out of the way. Probably stemming from the use of chopsticks…  Anyway, hair sticks are now more of an accessory than anything else. Even though they don’t seem to be a super ‘in’ thing at the moment there are many occasions where hair sticks would be the perfect touch. Weddings, prom and other very formal events usually bring out most of the hair sticks we see, but why not look glamorous every day!

Check out some of these great hairsticks I found online:

The Garnet and Sterling Silver hair stick above is one of the nicest looking sticks I have seen anywhere! The hammered sterling silver is just so rich and textured and is in perfect contrast with the deep red garnet stone accents. Simply beautiful!

Another beautiful example of hand-crafted silver hair sticks. Although the rose is nice, I think I prefer the daisy. It just seems like it would go flow much better..  maybe it’s just my imagination.

These aren’t my my personal style, but I could see how they could look great at a black tie event or a night out on the town wearing that new little black dress.

I remember a girl sitting in front of me in high school used to use a pencil every day to put her hair up, after flipping me in the face with it(I think she liked me, and wanted attention, lol). About half way through sophomore year she finally got some real hairsticks and stopped loosing her pencil in math class every day. Not to mention I only got hit by her hair once per class period.

Don’t feel like being glamorous? No time for a great do? Throw on one of these trendy hats and look HOT anyway!

Eyebrow Threading Hair Removal

Threading is ideal for removing facial hair. The hair removal process begins with a cotton thread that is wrapped around a row of hairs, then twisted and pulls out the hair from the root.

Threading is considered a very quick and painless form of hair removal.

Threading started in the Middle East and has just recently become a popular form of hair removal in America.

Laser Hair Removal Basics

Laser hair removal is a permanent hair removal process. It is more costly and takes several treatments, usually between 4-6 treatments.

Treatments will be between 6-10 weeks apart from one another. Depending on the area you are getting lasered it can take anywhere from 15 – 60 min per area. Laser hair removal is a treatment that uses a constant heat source and light beam to target the hair follicle. As the laser goes over the skin the light is attracted to the dark root. The laser will penetrate the hair and kill it at the root.

Do not wax while getting laser treatments as the laser needs the hair to stay in it’s normal growth cycle to permanently get all the hairs, however you may shave in between your treatments.

You will first need to have a consultation with the doctor before you start your treatments. At the consultation they will go over with you how many treatments you will need and how much time in between treatments.

After your series of treatments you may need to go back for a touch-up once or twice. Ask your physician before you start your treatments if they offer free touch-ups after your series is over.

Since the laser is attracted to the dark root of the hair follicle you may not be a good client if you have dark/tanned skin or light hair, some lasers though are able to work with any skin type and hair color.
