Unnique Launches Formaldehyde-Free Amino Keratin Hair Treatment

Miami, FL (PRWEB) March 8, 2011 – Unnique today announced the launch of its 100% formaldehyde-free hair treatment, Amino Keratin. A first of its kind in the beauty industry, the non-toxic keratin treatment can be applied on children ages 12 and older as well as pregnant or nursing women. Formulated with nano particles of an exclusive blend of amino-acids, the treatment helps reduce frizz, straightens and heals the hair and is completely safe to use on all hair types.

The formula of Amino Keratin is designed to add shine and manageability to frizzy, curly hair by naturally relaxing and smoothing each strand. Amino Keratin is also non-irritating, does not cause allergic reactions and can be reapplied frequently without modifying the hair structure or causing any damage. The results of Amino Keratin last between six to eight weeks and can be reactivated by heat, compared with other keratin treatments that last 12 to 16 weeks but contain formaldehyde.

“After all the negative press surrounding the infamous formaldehyde-laden versions keratin treatments, we are proud to offer consumers a completely safe, 100% non-toxic yet effective keratin treatment,” said Ricardo Rahme, sales director for Unnique. “Women can now enjoy the smooth, straight and healthy hair they’ve dreamed about without the fear of being exposed to any harsh chemicals, toxins or formaldehyde.” (more…)

The delightful actress Allison Janney plays the wild and crazy Crystal on ABC’s Mr. Sunshine.

Crystal is Ben’s boss.  Of course Ben is played by the fabulous Matthew Perry who is the straight man to Janney’s funny lady.

Although Crystal is always beautifully coiffed with sleek and smooth medium-length tresses.  But appearances are deceiving.  Crystal has naturally curly hair which she wears without texture.

It should be noted that Allison Janney also has naturally curly hair which she usually wear off camera in an array of smoothed and straightened hairstyles.

In the most recent episode titled Hostile Workplace her true natural curls rebel and slowly transcend into a huge ball of frizz when the air conditioning at the auditorium, The Sunshine Center, goes kaput. (more…)

As she progressed towards the finals her hair went through a transition from tightly curled to lightly waved.  The American pop and  R&B singer, songwriter, model and actress from Glendale, Arizona also changed her make-up and fashions.

In the five years since the then 17 year old Jordin won AI, her hair styles have changed dramatically.   She traded in her natural curls for bone straight strands.  She also cycled through a range of different hues and lengths. (more…)

Leona Louise Lewis (born 3 April 1985) is a British singer-songwriter. She was a contestant in the third series of the British television series The X Factor, which she won.

During her appearance on The X Factor she was famous for her long naturally curly hair which cascaded into tight ringlets down around her shoulders and back.  Many fans of curly hair admired her amazing spirals and ringlets which she showcased on The X Factor.

As Leona’s career skyrocketed her image started to change.  Her natural curls, coils and twists were softened into looser ringlets and waves.  Her hair also become lighter and brighter.

The multi-platinum selling artist and three time Grammy Award nominee also started to change her make-up and style of dress.  In a lot of ways Leona Lewis mirrored the transformation of many of the American Idols.

By the time she was proclaimed Top New Artist by Billboards magazine in 2008 and her most successful single, Bleeding Love reach number one in over thirty countries around the world she looked very polished and like the star she had become. (more…)

It may not seem like Spring is only five weeks away, especially if you live in the Midwest or East Coast where Winter storms are raging.  As warmer temperatures and sunny skies approach, we’ll all be craving a fresh new hair look.  Maybe even an updated hair color!

Below are some tips from Pam Kelly, the Senior Director/National Technical Education for Fantastic Sams® Hair Salons to help guide you through the process of deciding what hair color and/or styles might be best based on the latest trends in Spring hair color and care.

Find The Right Shade – The first thing you need to do is make sure the color matches your skin tone. Chestnut brown, blonde and copper shades compliment warm undertone complexions. Burgundy, cinnamon, and mahogany work best for those with cooler complexions. Platinum blondes will be very popular this spring and summer but if your complexion doesn’t allow for the white blonde shades, try a shade in beige or light golden tones that will brighten up the face.

Although I somehow fell through the Oprah cracks as one of her ultimate viewers, I have actually been watching the show since the beginning.  I will admit that many of the shows I focused on were related to hair and beauty topics because afterall, that’s been my focus for a long time.

Recently I found a huge three ring binder stuffed to the brim with clippings and notes I had squirreled away over the past 25 years with all kinds of hair and beauty tips, notes and obscure goodies.  One one of the pages I found a note to myself about New York’s fabulous weave and hair extension expert, Ellin La Var, who has appeared on Oprah.

I popped over to Ellin’s website and sure enough, she has a video clip from one of her visits on Oprah where they discussed the fact Ellin had coiffed Oprah’s hair with a weave.   Yes, we all know that Oprah has Andre Walker as her long time show hairdresser but she obviously worked with Ellin at various points in her career and admitted to wearing weaves.

Is Oprah’s Hair A Weave Or Not A Weave?

When Oprah first joined Twitter she tweeted that her hair was not a weave.  At least at that point it wasn’t and for her trip to Australia she was spotted wearing her hair in a series of perky little ponytails.  Again, definitely not a weave. (more…)
