2 questions!
I have two beauty questions.

One is, what are some of your favorite makeup items that are water proof and smudge proof? I mean like you can put this shit on and run a marathon or swim 10 laps and your face will still be perfectly painted...

I am interested in:
foundations
eyeliner (liquid or pencil)
eyebrow pencil (I draw mine in completely and damnit I want them to stay on after an entire night of debauchery!
lipstick
whatever else may come to mind...

My second question is for those of you that know hair extensions:
How long can I expect these type of extensions to last:
http://www.doctoredlocks.com/store/tut_cornrows_crochet.html

This will be my first time with this sort of extension and I want to kind of be able to gauge how long it will be before I can do them again... Also if you have ever done these... about how long did they take from start to finish?

NOTE! I am crossposting this in both makeup and hair communities so if you are in a hair community and know some makeup shit don't hesitate to share the mighty knowledge.

So over the last few days I stripped the color out of my hair twice with Jheri Rrdding Color Fix then I bleached it. I started with Blue and Purple hair and now it's this crappy light lavender color. I gave myself a hot oil treatment to help loosen up the color since oil is supposed to fade hair color... And still not much has washed out. It's definitely a light purple but i want it blonde pronto.

Should I use a blonde permanent color on top? Do you think it will help fade it at all? And if I do should I use one that has a gold base to combat the purple? I had an ashy color I wanted to use but I am afraid it will just make this purple situation even worse.

Any experiences with this?

* Please don't comment telling me how much I am damaging my hair. Trust me I know my hair and have screwed it over more than this and lived to tell the tale, it's fine. I am asking for pure color advice here.

Ok I know this is a weird question considering the fact that I have had a HELLA amount of weaves in my day (as a matter of fact I am putting in some hair as we speak errr type), but I was just watching this silly show called Charm School on VH1 and I saw that one of the “students” was talking about a lace weave? Like from what I understand it looks like the weave is sewn on a net thing so you can sew the hair all the way up on the head instead of just sewing it underneath like to you when you connect the hair to braids.

How does that work?
How long can you wear it?
Could I make this lace/net thing myself?

Also if anyone has any links about this kind of hair extension, please hook me up!

This might be a dumb question…

So I bleached my pre-colored practically black hair to a light blond. But the blond still had quite a bit of yellow in it although if you took a picture of me in black and white it would look white. I.E. It was super light with brassy tones.

I tried to cover it with a natural light shade of blond but I should have gotten an ashy shade to counter act the brassy tones.

So I ordered Shimmer Lights shampoo and conditioner. You know the stuff with the purple color added to it that’s supposed to kill the yellow/orange in blond hair?

I also ordered a light blond permanent hair color that is ashy and is cool toned and lastly I got manic panic’s toner "virgin snow" for blonde hair.

I was positive that with these products I would get the light ashy/whitest blond possible… But I am extremely impulsive and while waiting for these products to arrive I colored my hair blue with some punky professional color I had laying around because I just couldn’t deal with being seen with yellow hair and it looks actually really awesome.

However, I am going to want to try to get the blond I was originally going for eventually and I was wondering I anyone knew how to get vegetable dye (like punky and manic panic) out of pre-bleached hair WITHOUT having to go through the damaging process of bleaching all over again.

Any tips would be highly appreciated.

black to blonde
To all my ladies out there that have gone from dark brown or black dyed hair to the lightest blonde you could muster out, what were some fave ways you did it without totally killing your hair?  I usually use this stuff called color fix to take out hair color but I can't afford it right now so I was thinking of taking a bleach and shampoo mixture and process it as long as i can then color it the color blonde i want it on top of it.  

Tips?  Tricks?  Help?

starightening hair extensions.

I was just wondering if any one has had experience with or knows if you can put the Japanese hair straightening system over Cinderella or great lengths fusion type hair extensions?  Thank you!

Creative Color in NYC
I used to be a demo model for VS Academy in Santa Monica. I have recently moved to NYC and am looking for a place where I could be used as a demo model. Someone told me there's a Wella salon here that uses models. I'm open to anything creative and avant-garde.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!!

One of the top educators/guest artists from Wella is doing a class/presentation at the salon where I work (Kenneth George in Santa Monica) and we are looking for models for him to work on....

The looks will definitely be creative but they don't have to be over the top or extreme.... you will definitely have a say in what happens to your head.

Model call is this Thursday evening at 5:00pm and the actual presentation is this coming Monday from 9am to 6pm.... Let me know if you are interested and I will email/call/comment back to you.

Thanks very much

Help!
I have been dying my hair with a high lift blonde dye for a while now. I was actually using a highlight crème for brunettes on my new growth and then pulling it through to refresh my old color at the end of the dye job.

This last time I used mega Blondes (I think that is what it was called) from sally’s and I got an ash blonde color, however my end result was incredibly yellow.

My problem is that I usually use a toning shampoo called shimmer lights but only the bottom half of my hair absorbs the toner because it is more porous that my newer growth. So I have half a head of very light yellow blond (roots-ish) and the other half is a very light almost platinum ash blonde.

What kind of toner would you suggest to even out my color without adding anymore color?

hair conditioner review and question.
I used the ion treatment from Sally's that everyone has been raving about and in short I have to say that it sucked. If you pay money for that you might as well save a few bucks and get the one-dollar suave conditioner at Wal-Mart. I left it in tem minutes as the package instructed. I rinsed it out and styled my hair as usual, using nothing different and doing nothing different than normal. My hair feels rough, dry and it has no luster/shine.
My hair feels thicker and “stronger” but I think that is just a by-product of the hair cuticle being rough and un-smooth. I would not recommend and I will not buy again.

As for Pantene Pro-V…
I know it doesn’t repair hair it just coats it with a shine product to make it appear healthy, but would it be okay to use a repairing conditioner then a pantene conditioner to coat the hair after it has been repaired?

Vidal Sassoon Show in Kortrijk, Belgium

 

Well I have been gone for some time but my computer had crashed. So what have we been up to the last couple of months? Well after going to London, Uwe (the managing director of the VS Creative School) called me because he still needed a model for the VS shows in Kortrijk, Belgium. Here's the result:

 

I am the one that is being carried :)
