Review of the Week: Hair Care (May 13-19)

You may remember that not too long ago I chopped off my long, curly (and very damaged hair) and got a shorter and far healthier 'do. Since then, I've been trying very hard to be nice to my hair and give it a little TLC to prevent it from getting to that previous, icky straw-like state. 

Obviously, I need some help. Which is why this week's Review of the Week category...

Wedding Wednesday: 3 Simple DIY Hair and Makeup Tutorials for Brides

For those brides who are looking to stay on budget, skipping the pro makeup application and hair styling can be a great idea. Well, at first. Until the big day comes and you've suddenly remembered that when it comes to doing hair, you have the motor skills of a toddler.  

Well, never fear. We found three deceptively simple hair styles and beauty looks that you can totally DIY without...

5 Surprising Beauty Myths Busted

Not too long ago, we discussed a few common beauty mistakes. I will shamefully admit that I was guilty of committing more than one of them. This got me thinking about what else I might be doing wrong when it comes to beauty. 

Perhaps the beauty advice my mother gave me as a young teen wasn't actually as accurate as I thought? With this in mind, I set out to do some beauty detective...

Would You Stop Washing Your Hair... Forever?

I've mentioned in the past that my hair has been less than healthy. After years of a salon boycott and DIY experiments with ombre and numerous shades, my ends were left with a rough, straw like appearance. With my recent haircut and shorter style, I've been trying hard to keep it healthy and in good shape. Part of this has been laying off the hair dye (seriously, I have a problem) and...

20 Hair Accessories For Easy Glamour

Though it may not feel like it here at CA HQ, spring has graced us with her presence. This means that the wedding season is creeping up on us and prom is also right around the corner. With that in mind, there will probably be quite a few chicks getting prepped for a formal event. 

One of the simplest ways to take a look to the next level, is with the addition of a hair accessory. Just ask...

Making the Cut: Going Long to Short with Curly Hair

5 years ago, in an act of what I can only hope was #YOLO inspired mania, I decided to let my friend Emily chop my long locks off into a chin length bob. I'm not sure what I was trying to prove. I'd like to plead temporary insanity, though I think it was more like a late teenage rebellion. A failed one at that. My mother and father couldn't have cared less. 

In any case, I...

Yay or Nay: Who Had The Best Celeb Hair Makeover This Week?

I love a good makeover and I love a good celeb hair makeover even more. I think it's because a new hairstyle can drastically change someone's look. Take Katy Perry's switch from her signature dark locks to her momentary ginger phase. Or, think of Miley's dramatic move from feminine and pretty to edgy punk with her major chop! 

There were three major celeb hair makeovers this...

Review of the Week: Shampoo (March 25-31)

I'm a lazy beauty junkie. So, I enjoy the lazy man's shower of dry shampoo and body spray. Plus, I'm a huge fan of trying to get away with unwashed hair for as long as possible. Hey, it's good for your hair and you can wake up 10 minutes later in the morning! It is necessary to wash your hair at least once in a while, though. Which is why I though it perfect to have a shampoo...

Yay or Nay: January Jones Does a Bouffant

The great thing about January Jones is that she's not afraid to play around with fashion and experiment with new styles. However as experiments may do, sometimes one goes awry. Hence January (and her hair) is the topic for this week's Yay or Nay. 

January Jones has done a bouffant-esque style before (see here), but she's gone a bit overboard with this one. 


We love the...

10 Wearable Hairstyle Trends: Spring 2013

Remember the other day when I challenged you chicks to shake up your beauty routine with one of the new beauty trends from the spring 2013 runway? 

Well, I'm about to up the ante. This time, we're talking hair. 

For the most part, I tend to only cut or dye my hair when my life has incurred some drastic change. Suddenly I think that it would be an amazing idea if I got bangs or...
