Bangs This Winter

The months of November through March can seem like a
permanent polar vortex that not only wreaks havoc on our
skin, but also our hair. Bangs become a battle. They are

HOW TO bLowDry YOUR BANGS
Drying bangs immediately after showering will help decrease frizz and fly-aways. The best method is to brush them side-to-side with your fingers as you
blow dry, and then straight down. “Finding the right product that works for your

Are expensive hair dryers worth it?

Here's what 20 hours of testing revealed
an excerpt from Today.com
What’s the hardest working tool in your beauty arsenal? Your hair
dryer, of course! With so many factors to consider, how can you be sure
you're buying the best option on the market? Casey Johnston, a lead
editor at The SweetHome broke down the most important points when
CHROME-PLATED
considering what to buy.
DRYER, 1928
1. Marketing buzz words can be deceiving.
The beauty aisle is peppered with odd terms like "tourmaline," "ionic,"
and "ceramic.” But when it came to performance, only two things mattered
in testing: heat and speed. She added “If it’s a popular brand endorsed
by celebrities,people are going to pay more.
2. Yes, weight matters.
Considering that a blow dryer is an entirely handheld device, weight is
key. “You don’t want to be holding up a heavy 2-or 5-pound hair dryer for
20 minutes,” Try a model that weighs 1lb. or less.
MULTI-PRONG
3. Wattage isn’t a deal breaker.
DRYER, 1936
Surprisingly, wattage tends be mostly the same across all hair dryers,
according to research.“(Dryers average) roughly at 1800 to 1875 watts.
This is a measure of basically how powerful the motor is inside the hair
dryer in regards to speed. Not a big factor in any of the tests.
In the 1950s and '60s, lightweight versions of the hand-held
tool became more mainstream,
and allowed women to be their
own hairstylist.

Inspired by brilliant gem stones, the brightest organic colors coming
from the earth, Gem Lights is revolutionary shampoo for your hair.
Available in 10 tones, with three clear products, pick the gem stone
that most closely resembles your haircolor— they are all designed to
keep haircolor fresh, nourished and smooth with high-gloss shine and
in an extra-gentle sulfate-free formula.
GemLites shampoo contains new ColorPosit technology, read:
hair color pigment, to 'match' any brand of hair color. Simple &
easy to choose — just match your hair color with the desired gem
stone on the bottle—you won’t even need your glasses to select.
It tones and blends grey---but dont worry, your hair will continue
to grow and the chasm of re-growth will continue to widen---you will
still have to come in for your color when needed — you'll just look
better in between!
blonds love Flawless Diamond to rid yellowing and brassiness;
reds love the reds because, well...they know the shortcomings of
red hair color AND love to try the accentuating shades; and
browns love the shine and how it camouflages the grey and
can rid the brassy redness that invariably rears its ugly head.
Sulfate-free yet good sudsing and it has great moisture & shine
and is very fragrant.

a hairdressing hair in London, soon became the
standard in salons.

HEAT DRYING LAMP, 1948
One at-home version of the dryer popular in the
late 1940s incorporated heated plates of glass,
which would slowly dry and set the hair.
4. There's no such thing as "express" dry time.
The team tapped experts to test the claim of “express” drying time. No
such luck.The only thing that really influences drying time is how wet
your hair is — if it’s soaked, your drying process will take longer.
5. Drugstore versions really can do the work of
pricier options. All dryers aren’t created equal, but a higher price
point doesn’t necessarily mean better results. “I was most surprised to
learn how that there’s not a major difference in how dryers work,”
said Johnston. “(According to our tests) the air was all moving at the
same speed and roughly at the same temperature.”

EARLY VERSIONS, CIRCA 1880
