Balayage is not just a hair color technique. It’s a hair color that is designed for the woman (or man) sitting in the chair. The client’s hair color, growth pattern, hair texture and personality are taken into consideration when applying Balayage.<br />

Balayage represents freedom from "foil patterns" or "Ombre" which has a distinct look.<br />
<div class="p1">
Balayage helps celebrate the individual woman with subtle highlights or a pop of color. When applied correctly, it’s almost impossible to see where the hair color starts. You can part the hair anywhere and its flawless.</div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Living in New York City for the past 12 years has been a hoot! Now that I have moved, I would like to pay homage to this incredible city by sharing my own "Best Of NYC” guide. This is an honest guide with real people, no kickbacks and no paid advertising. :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Feel Food opened not too long ago and has quickly become a favorite for many. Always consistent, with fresh, clean, simple food and friendly staff, I give them the thumbs up. Because I have a reaction to gluten, it’s very hard or boring to eat at most cafes and coffee shops. Thank you to the management of Feel Food for delivering goodness!</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Juice Press is one of the few juice bars that serves fresh almond milk with their smoothies. Why...when almond milk is so easy to make? Shame on you other juice bars!!! This minor detail alone makes all the difference in a healthy, tasty, easy-to-digest drink. They also offer a variety of fresh ingredients to custom blend a smoothie of your choice. You rock Juice Press!!</span></div>

The best place to get fresh coconut water, where the nut is opened in front of you, is on the corner of 173<sup>rd</sup> Street and Albion in Washington Heights. Take it from me, an island boy who was literally born under a coconut tree! </span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">I have never seen anyone touch hair like Mr. Orlando Pita. His relationship with hair is that of a true visionary. His ability to rocket a client to the 4th dimension through a haircut is something to experience (even if you're just watching.) Backed by his humility and natural instinct to really listen to a client is simply inspiring. Having your hair cut by someone who set's the trends worldwide is simply incredible.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Joe Martino is a friend, mentor and hairstylist whose standards I aspire to. He is the most versatile hairstylist I know in NYC (and I know many.) Brunettes with amazing shine to blond-to-die-for (foils or balayage)....his skills keep him at the top of the NYC fashion pyramid. Over the years I have seen so many colorists become limited by their preference for foils and balayage, which only hurts the client. If you can't get a haircut with Orlando Pita, Joe is as close as you are going to get to the real deal!! Joe's love for cutting hair with every tool available, wet or dry has made him a hard man to get an appointment with. When I started working with Joe over 4 years ago, he shared his vision and passion while nurturing me, the same way he was guided and taught by Mr. Orlando Pita. To all the other hairstylists in NYC I say, bow down bitches!!! LOL!!</span></div>

The first time I sat one, I forgot I was in public and proceed to get "too comfortable." I quickly realized that I was not at home on my big sofa (that I don't own.) But you get the drift! You can also reserve a seat without the hassle of waiting in that long, annoying line or through the ticket machine that spits out a ticket at you. The staff is super friendly too!</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">As a hairstylist I am very fortunate to be part of an on-going, creative team backstage at NYC Fashion Week. There's nothing like watching incredible fashion and hairstyles come to life just before they hit the catwalk….and the rest of the world. It’s a crazy, yet ecstatic environment.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Once Fashion Week ends, people always ask, "<i>So what do you see as the latest hair trends?</i>" My response has become the same as my mentor who always says. "<i>It really depends on how the public is inspired and how they interpret what they see.</i>"</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">I love that response. Because there is actually room for an individual to express themselves while being influenced by the big designers, being inspired from the street and elsewhere. And of course, in the past how could NYC not inspire so many?</span><br />

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">However, are New Yorkers expressing themselves less and less by following so call trends, both for hair and clothing?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">In my opinion, it seems that young people’s individuality is being sucked dry by society's obsession to look like a celebrity or follow so-called trends…trends which are being pimped out by the media daily.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Hmm…come to think of it, there is a Lululemon, Stepford wives syndrome happening in Manhattan. This group likes to consider themselves the privileged ones. During the day, some sport hair extensions, which have been curled with a big curling iron, a fad that died over 5 years ago, (but whose counting) and all cloaked under a baseball cap, with some Lulu Lemon tights.</span><br />

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Then at night, they run to the blow-dry bar and have their hair fluffed, throw on a cute, expensive dress and feel they are ready to rule the fashion world... Yawn.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">My personal feeling is that following a trend is really a thing of the 80's. When a client sits in my chair, I do my best to inspire them and lead them away from the "new normal." Um hello? This is New York City girls!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Three years ago a phone call changed my life. After a painful, soul-searching year in Tobago and Miami, I promised the universe that I would commit to volunteer work. Having just moved back to NYC, a friend reached out and said she had two gallons of shampoo and conditioner from her salon that she needed to give away.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">I saw this as my opportunity to fulfill my promise to the universe. I googled “homeless shelters for women.” The first one that popped up was WIN.org. A call was made.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">When I met with the staff, which included Alyssa Montaya, I was nervous, vulnerable and emotional, but eager to listen to the voice in my head that was saying, "Ask for help…to help others!" I explained to eager ears that my hope was to share tips on beauty, self love and donate gift bags. I also explained a little bit about my own personal history and struggle with feelings of self worth and selfishness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">I explained that I would not be doing makeovers, but an inner beauty makeover. Beauty makeovers are wonderful and give people an incredible lift, but what happens next? Most of the time, our clients can't afford the products, don't have the time or the skill. How about giving them something they can build off of…a feeling of support from a stranger in the beauty industry helping them feel better as a person first.</span><br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">The staff expressed similar values around how we should view our fellow brothers and sisters. It was very clear that I was in safe hands. Someone said, "First, we love the idea and are very open to seeing how it progresses. Our clients are very important to us and their well-being and safety comes first."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Those words were music to my ears and heart, but one word stood out…"clients." They did not say, people, women, or homeless. They said clients.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Since that first encounter, WIN.org has been a pillar in my life. A pillar of support, respect and a prime example of how people should be treated no matter their race, class or sexual orientation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Their commitment to protecting their clients showed itself in many ways. From their willingness to help volunteers, the availability to listen to ideas, the sensitivity to their clients needs and by just being open to me as an individual.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">But most of all, WIN gave me a gift that was priceless. They not only helped me grow as an individual, they helped me heal relationships that I thought I would never mend. They helped me beat my life long depression and have become my family.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="http://winnyc.org/get-involved-with-win/become-a-volunteer-at-win/">WIN - thank you! Thank you for existing. Your commitment to helping women has had a positive impact on the lives of people in NYC…and as a whole is priceless and should be shared with the world.</a></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Why is it that every time there is a new discovery around a fruit or vegetable providing health benefits, it shows up in a shampoo or hair product?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">We've all seen the ad campaigns… </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">"Do you want healthy shiny hair? Well try our new shampoo and conditioner infused with acai to revive damaged hair, leaving it shiny and healthy in just one use." Or "…with this aloe vera-infused shampoo, very dry hair can experience fast hydration!"</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Honestly, as a professional in the beauty industry, when I see these ads, I feel sorry for the consumer. Many unsuspecting victims, who are looking for an answer to their hair problems, honestly believe that if it’s on TV or recommended by a magazine, it’s true. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">Well you may want to rethink and see those ads for what they are…the "reality tv of haircare." But like those shows, it's not all "real."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">With all these food-based hair care products drowning the market, lets take a closer look at their list of ingredients. There’s coconut, green tea, bamboo, strawberries, olive, avocado, wheat, watermelon; the list goes on and on… (I'm starting to feel hungry.) :)</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What about the foods (also with amazing benefits) that you would never in a million years imagine could be added to a shampoo, conditioner or hair color? Here are a few products and ads I made up that you may see soon.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">Hair color with quinoa contains proteins, which strengthen hair, while seeping into your body, preventing the need to actually eat quinoa. (Apparently it can stop hair color from fading so it has been added to shampoos and conditioners.) I almost fainted when I saw the product.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">Cod liver oil has for centuries helped fight cholesterol with its incredible health benefits. It can now be used on your hair, leaving it shiny like the scales of a fish, reflecting moisture in the atmosphere as if you were swimming in the ocean.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">How about my super foods like watermelon? Now available in a hair mask (with or without seeds) it can add never-ending moisture to your hair without the annoying visits to the bathroom.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">But my favorite is a kale and garlic daily conditioner. Not only does this combination have the approval of nutritionists and heart surgeons across America, it can grace your hair regimen, leaving you vampire-free and with hair that will never be constipated because of the high fiber content!! (I'm still giggling because I also stumbled upon a keratin and garlic shampoo!!)</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">Consumers, we need to stop being gullible and believing all these flashy ads. Often that amazing hair was transformed with either a wig or tons of extensions…and it’s often had some help from a computer to give it that incredible liquid flow that’s to die for (or die trying.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Before you grab that new product ask yourself this these questions.</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">1) What am I (or my hairdresser) currently doing to my hair that maybe damaging it?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">2) Who do I trust more, the celebrity on the TV screen whipping her hair back and forth with a fat check in her bank account or the hairdresser that you see regularly? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">3) Is my existing shampoo or conditioner working? Did it live up to its promises? And what were those promises?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">4) Can these foods actually make a difference in my hair? Says who??</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So the next time you see a hair ad telling you that they have revolutionized the use of lettuce in your hairspray, run!!! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">We should consider eating all these ingredients and maybe we will actually have better body and hair…</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The last show this season on our lineup was Michael Kors. I always look forward to the casual, slept-in look we create for him, even though it’s never that easy. ;)</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Yes it was a loose braid, but it had to be the right texture. It had to have a wave, but not an intentional wave. It should not resemble a bridesmaid-style braid!</span></span></div>

Using his own personal line of hair products, Plump and Lift, Straight 72, Revive Dry Shampoo and the Absolute Anti-Frizzing Shine Serum, we sent each model down the runway with hair that was flawless!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">“It’s about prepping the hair first by blowdrying…and then designing your ponytail with hair spray only,” reminded Orlando. So no gels or waxes to create that sleek look…it has to look like hair you want to touch.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">This hairstyle was about being messy, loopy and hitting the back of the neck. Most importantly, it should NOT look like a bun. To prep the hair, we use a variety of products from “Beauty’s Most Wanted List” from Orlando’s hair care line…Lift and Plump, Straight 72 and Revive Dry Shampoo which were all amazing to work with!</span><br />

Yassss!<br /><br /><br />Only Orlando Pita can bring realness to the mainstream catwalk. Today's hair style for Derek Lam was a head turner! First we applied </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 32px;">Phyto Phytovolume Actif spray</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> throughout the hair and blow-dried it with a paddle brush. It was mainly dried </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">to remove the waves (not to create perfect smoothness.) </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We then sprayed the crown of the head with Phyto Spray De Coiffage and tied the do-rag in place. </span></span><br />

With the goal to create textured hair, we either added product if the hair was too straight or if it was too wavy we removed it with a little heat then added product to give it texture.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">I’m tired of magazines that recommend both the high-end product and then a sub-standard version that’s cheaper or more “affordable.” This product appeals to every budget and is used across the board both professionally and for at-home use. What can I say…Lift & Plump is all-inclusive!</span></div>

However, if you have lots of hair you can spray this mist throughout instead of just applying as you go.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">For a more textured look for long to medium-length hair (that’s also thick), here's my recommendation. Once I’ve finished blow drying everything, I lightly mist the product on each section. Then I twist those sections using the heat from my fingers. It roughs up the finish a bit. For added volume after drying, I sometimes turn a client’s head upside down and rough dry. But only if it's appropriate for the finish I'm aiming for.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">It's important to remember when you are using any volume-enhancing product, to apply the product at the root and spend enough time drying the root area. Don't spend all your time drying the ends…drying the root area is vital to getting volume.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">Do you have dry, frizzy hair that's color treated? How about thick hair? By that I mean hair so thick, it takes a few minutes before water hits your scalp. And let's not forget double processed hair. If you fit any of these descriptions, then I have a hair mask that will work wonders.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">This hair mask delivers fast nourishment, tames frizzing and makes it easier to blow dry hair. What else do we need in life? ;)</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">If you use a lot of silicones, Moroccan oils or any other oils in your hair, I recommend getting a clarifying shampoo. Why?</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">Most women who use oils and silicones have buildup on their hair and scalp. It can be caused by excessive product use, a shampoo that's too moisturizing (not enough cleaning action), or not rinsing out shampoos and conditioners enough.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">In other words everyone should have two shampoos, one recommended by your stylist and a clarifying one. I recommend the Phyto Phytoneutre Clarifying Shampoo. It's not over-priced and yet contains loads of natural ingredients. If you want your new hair mask to work, then give it a chance by starting with a clean head of hair.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">For thick hair, use a clarifying shampoo every 3 – 4 days. For color-treated hair, mix with a little bit of regular shampoo to dilute. This is to avoid color fading.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">If you have hair that's dry, fine and brittle, only use a clarifying shampoo every 6-8 weeks. Mix your clarifying shampoo with your regular shampoo to weaken the clarifying shampoo a bit. This little tip will make all the difference before applying a great hair mask.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">Shampoo and rinse your hair, squeezing out as much water as possible. For thick hair apply generously throughout. It's a big jar and a little goes a long way so lather that hair baby! (The thickness of the hair will determine how much product you should use.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"></span></span></div>

A friend recently asked a question about a quote I said. "Remember it's about giving not giving-back."</div>
<div class="p2">
I thought it deserved an answer.</div>
<div class="p1">
After researching the definitions of both words, I found that there was not much difference. However the literal meaning of words, can sometimes have a very different meaning when expressed verbally.<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>To me the words "giving back" in a sentence goes like this: "I really should do volunteer work and give back for what I have received in life."<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>Personally I feel this means "Since I've received something, I should take the action to return it." I'm not sure when the term "giving back" originated, but it's not very helpful. Saying it can sound like an action, when the action really is the word giving. Don't get me wrong, overall it's a noble gesture, but maybe a different approach can be taken? For example..<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>"I really should GIVE to my fellow man in need of help," or "Although I have a roof over my head and my life is miserable, maybe I really should focus less on my troubles and GIVE to those who have less."</div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s2"><br />
<br />
</span>What's the "back" part about? And when we say it do we actually do it? Or do we wait to receive something else to remind us once more that we should be "giving back?"</div>
<div class="p1">
I believe if we start saying, I want to GIVE, we will be faced with a huge question. The first is, do I honestly want to give? The second, do I fully understand the meaning of giving? I know I don't...<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>And what it is that stops us from giving? From my own experience the biggest problem was myself.<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>In my heart I wanted to do what was best but I was afraid of where to begin. Which charity should I donate to? Who should I help? I pondered that question for years without actually lifting a finger.<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span> And if I started and couldn't handle it emotionally, I will feel like a failure!<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>Another favorite was, "I actually have nothing to give."<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>Eventually the pattern was obvious. Fear was standing in my way (and some judgement).</div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s2"><br />
<br />
</span>So how did get over my fears? Desperation is the answer.</div>
<br />
<div class="p3">
Have you ever felt like your life has no meaning no matter how much so-call fun you have or no matter how much stuff you accumulate?</div>

<div class="p1">
Have you ever felt suicidal, tired of being depressed and wanting a way out, not even strong or brave enough to do it? (Whatever "it" is...)<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>I definitely have! For most of my life I was crippled with depression, often thinking "I can't take this anymore." No one really knew but the few people I shared my secret with.<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>After being desperate enough, I walked into a hospice to volunteer, a recommendation by my late friend Dale from Miami. His words actually were, "Dude, even in the midst of your depression all you can do is think about yourself. Try thinking about someone else!"<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>I was pissed. How the hell could he be so insensitive??<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>He was right.</div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s2"><br />
</span>I realized I was blinded by self-pity and blaming others for my troubles. From the minute I walked into the hospice, I forgot about myself. I had no idea what lay ahead but I knew it was better than my present state of mind.<span class="s2"><br />
<br />
</span>The appreciation I received for being there, by the staff and patients, I had never felt before.</div>
<div class="p1">
While I thought it was a one-way street, (me helping them) it actually worked both ways. They were healing my depression.<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>Three years later my depression has vanished! The combination of giving and thinking less of myself lead to a spiritual awakening. <span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>Over the years I realized it would take more than therapy to beat my depression. (10 years later I still see and love my therapist.) Anti- depressants was another help. I'm not advocating them. However I will advocate volunteer work. Being in recovery from addiction, was another key for me. It opened the door to being available to show up for volunteer work.<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>What can I say...if you're desperate enough you'll do what is suggested, it may change your life. It changed mine.<span class="s1"><br />
<br />
</span>Today I'm a happy man. I love helping others, I love my family, I love my job and I look forward to living.<span class="s1"><br />
<br />

to eat mucho humble pie. You see everyone doing hair and making major money,
but because you have not put in your 2 years (at least) you have to be patient.
It’s common practice to assist a busy hairstylist till <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_612634518" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">midnight</span></span> and get a $1 as

is extremely difficult. You think you are talented only to realize you have two
left hands and eight fingers. Although training on actual clients is an amazing
learning experience, you can ruin a client’s hair and still have to pretend it
looks fabulous. "It's hair, it grows!" Well tell that to the person
who is missing a piece of hair that's now on the floor...(Constipation!!!)</span></span></div>

you're sitting, waiting for clients, with your mouth wide open catching flies,
with no money to pay your rent. Sounds little stressful right? This can go on
for a full year depending on how much walk-in traffic the salon has.</span></span></span>

desk and getting all the new clients, can be very distressing. But it happens
all the time.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">Now for most, building up a clientele is rewarding. At this
point you realize you're not only a creative being, you're a sales person.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">In many salons (not all) your creative skills are also measured
by how you can convince women to get services "they don't need" and
selling a certain amount of products per client (3-6 items.) Some may believe
this is perfectly normal (I once did.) However it is possible to build a
clientele by being honest; the problem is the salon may not think so. Major upselling
as opposed to being creative can be incredibly stressful when the security of
your job depends on it. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 10pt;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">Upselling is a term used in the industry to sell products or
services to clients that they don't need. If they need one product, you have to
sell them three or more. That way they will at least buy one. Years ago during a
coloring class an educator said, "If you get every client to want
highlights, you'll be a rich man." Translation - offer it to as many
people as you can, even if their hair is at risk. (This part is so sad and
stressful....)</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;"></span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">Now here's the really hard part. Cultivating people-pleasing skills.
When you're new on "the floor" it’s frustrating when you don't have
the knowledge that comes with time. If you're a plastic surgeon, I'm assuming
you will not operate on someone till the government, your supervisors and peers
think you're ready. With hair it's not so strict, even after getting your
license. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">Then there's the myth that as a hairstylist, I'm a therapist. I
have a therapist, so I always recommend to clients that they find their own.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">In today's world with the media, press and the beauty industry
putting pressure on women to look like anyone but themselves; it all adds more stress
to your chair. You have to talk clients off the cliff of "I'm not
beautiful," or "I want to look like her." (Generally a
celebrity)</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">You must possess the gift of "being honest" while
being respectful and encouraging. Not as easy as it sounds, especially if you
work in a salon where you need to sell, sell, sell. Getting a client to
see her own individual beauty takes time and patience.</span></span></div>

and overall appearance. They want their hair to remove all of life's
insecurities, solve all of life's problems and save them from the inevitable. (Pressure!)</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma;">They may be genuinely nice people, but their dependence on their

know I've been asking friends to donate one book in particular for my workshops with teenage girls in the NYC shelter system. That book is <b><i>I Am Malala, The Girl That Was Shot In Her Head By The Taliban</i></b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pNG8flBpHi0/U0NNHuPP9WI/AAAAAAAAHds/0OU_QA3sV7g/s1600/IamMalala-school.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pNG8flBpHi0/U0NNHuPP9WI/AAAAAAAAHds/0OU_QA3sV7g/s1600/IamMalala-school.jpg" height="193" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">One day, while doing my standard workshop, I decided to change the flow and
read a few paragraphs from this book. While reading, I noticed some of the
girls were in shock, some had tears in their eyes, but I had their full
attention. They were in awe that a 16 year-old girl would stand up to the
Taliban because she believed in education for all.<br />
<br />
When I was done there was a silence. The girls were inspired that someone their
own age could be so brave. Words cannot describe their faces in that moment. <br />
<br />
I then asked, “Is there anything they would like to see changed in their
communities?” Before I could finish, one girl shouted "Gun violence!"
"More support for teen moms raising a child," said another.
Then one tiny 12 year-old girl said, "…bullying against children who live
in homeless shelters." My heart literally broke.<br />
<br />
Next I asked them, "Do you think you have the power to change these
things?” I could see the frustration in their faces as they thought about the
question.<br />
<br />
We discussed ways each girl could inspire friends and their families to help
create ideas to make a change. We discussed the power of organizing within the
shelter to create a stronger, unified voice. <br />
<br />
In the end I gave each girl a copy of the book. They were ecstatic!<br />
<br />
So far I have done two workshops using this book to inspire girls at two<br />
different shelters. I hope to get more copies and spread her message to even
more<br />
girls.<br />
<br />
Want to know more about Malala? Here's a video of Malala’s interview on John
Stewart’s, <i>The Daily Show</i>. It’s
pretty incredible.</span><br />

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">These two looks are inspired by the hair from Carolina Herrera Fall 2014 RTW and </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"><span class="userContent">Elie Saab</span> from his haute couture show in Paris 2014.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">The first look is a high chignon. I decided to alter the
shape and technique a bit for everyday.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">First I made a tight, clean ponytail. Using a packet of hair, I purchased at the <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/wigs-and-plus-new-york" target="_blank">Wig Shop on 14thstreet</a>, I cut it in half without unraveling all the hair</span>. </div>
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">I pinned one half above the ponytail and one half below.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9trQTD3zuSs/Uxk1bF7CTQI/AAAAAAAAHb4/hjIQqZ74CIk/s1600/DSC_3966.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9trQTD3zuSs/Uxk1bF7CTQI/AAAAAAAAHb4/hjIQqZ74CIk/s1600/DSC_3966.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">I then curled the hair with the <a href="http://www.t3micro.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=285&zenid=fe616311a28c73c435fb746d31f7cc89" target="_blank">T3 Body Waver</a> to seal the cuticle adding shine and bounce to the ponytail.

<br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Next I wrapped
the three pieces into a bun. It's very important to use hair pins as you work, as
it's the only way you’ll have control.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">After pinning the bun in place, you can literally squeeze the
entire chignon into a shape that flatters you.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">I removed the bun, brushed the hair out and sprayed some Revive

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">I started by taking a section from ear to ear (above the top of
the head).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Next I flat-ironed the back section of her hair using my new <a href="http://www.shopt3micro.com/product/46573" target="_blank">SinglePass Flatiron from T3</a> and back-combed the crown for volume.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">I made a short, clean center part. Then I rolled the two front
sections about 2 inches above the ear. To get rid of the two pieces (or tails)
of hair you're left with after rolling, simply pin them underneath the back
section (at the back if the head.)</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">A recent hair fad that was embraced by women of all ages and
races has finally come to an end. Long "pretty hair", with perfect waves (created
by a curling iron) has been replaced by a more natural, fresh modern approach (amen)...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Yes it was fun when it started…however it seemed to suck the
population dry of all individuality and personal style. With that fad behind
us, I welcome the much needed change!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Now we’re seeing on the runways the use of extensions to create thickness
at any length instead of adding hair to create an obvious unnatural length. Another fad is wearing your hair in a
fabulous updo's which were also on the runways for Spring/summer 2014.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">My model who beautiful as she is sweet was new to the industry, she had very long but fine hair, but the last 5 inches
were fine. For her first look I purchased hair from <a href="http://helenacollectionwigs.com/" target="_blank">Helena's in NYC</a> and Glued in tracks to add thickness and density at the ends.</span></div>
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Look 1</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">The first look I kept very natural. I curled her hair using the <a href="http://www.t3micro.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=285&zenid=ddda4f21a03115cf0f9b7e752b32ef6d" target="_blank">T3 BodyWaver Iron</a> and then brushed it out. Notice softer without all
the tight waves and tendrils. For the women that can't wear their hair messy, this is
a good option.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">For the second look I used a tiny bit of Phyto Texturizing Cream
and ran it through her hair with my fingers. It helped her hair regain some of
it's texture and added a messier look. Then I lightly sprayed it with Elevate by Orlando Pita and T3. I’m
sorry to say, it's been discontinued so you won’t find it anywhere online. :(</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Below are some quick tips on how to achieve this look:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">1) If you have fine, straight hair I recommend adding volumizing
spray to the roots & ends. Dry your hair with your fingers and make a
center part to complete the look.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">2) For curly hair that's fine, blow dry the middle part and the
nape (the hair just above your neck line.) This will allows the areas that show
to look clean, but then the natural texture will give you some fullness when
the look is done.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">3) For women with thick, coarse hair, first blow dry your hair and
then apply a flat iron to achieve the final look.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">These are great instructions to give to your hairstylist as
well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Stay
tuned for more runway styles that you can transform into an everyday look!</span><br />

<br />
The hair was messy. textured and chunky, (not frizzy, wispy or flat).
Then a loose braid was done at the back and tucked at the nape. What I
loved about this style and technique is it can be used on all hair
types.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
Now remember, it's a "hairstyle" so it will take some
"hairstyling" to achieve this look. In other words don't think because
it's messy you can just tool out of bed and do a braid and voila! No
honey boo boo child, if your hairs curly blow-dry it and flatiron if
necessary. If your hair is clean and silky, dirty it-up a bit.<br />
