Maui Moisture Hair Care Thumbs Up.

~ Joseph Kellner ~ Leave a comment

Doing a lot of hair color in the salon I like to give a good cleaning to the hair. That’s why I chose to try a product called Maui Hair Care Line.  On my model she has thick and fine hair. She also likes a subtle balayage hair coloring technique.  When it is time to complete the process I have teased the hair and placed a lot of foils also in her hair. So by that time I am dealing with a lot of tangles and chemically processed hair.

I went ahead and took out all of my foils and combed out all of my teasing to complete the hair color and now the shampoo. The Maui line has a wonderful fragrance to it. And since I am dealing with chemically treated hair I decided to use the weightless coconut milk which infuses this light and creamy shampoo along with sheer guava oil and mango butter. Which I recommend for colored treated hair and bleached hair. Apply shampoo generously to wet hair, massage into a lather through to ends, then rinse the hair thoroughly. After shampooing, follow with conditioner. Warning: Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs rinse immediately. For best results use in conjunction with other Maui Moisture products. I was concerned about the amounts of alcohol in the ingredients and emailed the company. This was there response. “Some alcohols can cause dry, frizzy hair while other types of alcohol can act to help condition hair. One of the types of alcohol we choose to use in our Maui Moisture formulas are Cetyl alcohol and Cetearyl alcohol. These are known as fatty alcohols, they help give a smooth, soft feeling to the hair shaft by helping the cuticle to lie flat on the surface of the hair. They also function as thickeners, nonionic surfactants, and emulsion stabilizers. Some of our products also contain isopropyl alcohol or denatured alcohol as well”.

I finished the process and the hair came out beautiful, the fragrance is wonderful and I really did not need a conditioner. Give it a try everyone. Its also gluten free.

For the Right Look, Choose the Left

Beyond keeping hair out of your eyes or providing easy access to your brain’s escape hatch, the way you part your hair can reflect how the world perceives you—and how you perceive yourself. How to part it depends largely on the shape of your face. Here are a few basic guidelines to finding the right method:

Heart: With their wider cheekbones and glowing foreheads, heart-shaped faces radiate with either a side or diagonal part. However, if you have longer hair, a middle part may help to balance out your prominent cheeks.

Square: The trick with a square-shaped face is to soften its features. A deep-side part or diagonal part allows hair to fall gently over any sharp angles, rounding them out. In this case, it’s best to begin the part right above the arch of one eyebrow.

Circle: A slightly diagonal part that stretches from the middle of the forehead to the back of the hair lends a dramatic curtain effect to circle-shaped faces, enhancing and elongating the features on the side with the greater exposure.

Oval: Oval-shaped faces have it toughest of all, since they’re doomed to be able to pull off any look they want. The choices are virtually infinite. Part it down the middle or down either side. Don’t part it at all. Part it six times—the world is your oyster cracker. However, many stylists would recommend a middle part, since side parts already suit the shapes above.

The decision of where to part the hair, however, isn’t completely cosmetic. Some people theorize, for example, that a left part indicates someone with strong leadership skills. This theory earned some cred during the 2000 US presidential election, when left-parting George W. Bush defeated right-parting Al Gore. Even comic books lend it some credence, as the unassuming Clark Kent switches his part from the right to the left when he becomes the all-powerful Superman. Still, it could be just a coincidence—many successful leaders part their hair on the right or not at all, and either way, the decision is not always up for debate; a cowlick, for instance, is nearly impossible to tame, often forcing you to adapt your style to suit it. Our perception of ourselves is inherently flawed. Therefore, if you like the way your hair looks parted to the left, you may want to actually part it to the right, even—and perhaps especially—if it looks strange in the mirror.
