{Honeymoon} Wear

With a short week and our honeymoon getaway looming, there's little else on my mind this week than our trip. Focus on work wear has certainly gone out the window - all I'm doing is mentally packing and repacking my vacation suitcase.

The spring collection from Mara Hoffman is making it a very easy task. 

I'm so excited to rely on dresses while we're in Europe - a total departure from my usual day-to-day look. 

I hope you find the opportunity to dress up this week luvies.

Happy short week!

Below we take a look at some of the hairstyles over 40 women can wear if they want.

One hairstyle that really is flattering for women who are of a certain age is the short layered hairstyles. Through going for a bob length cut that is made up of many different layers can help to create a more elegant look. Plus this particular style is great for adding texture which creates more volume.

With this particular style you can then go for side swept bangs which are proving very popular at the moment. These are not only easy to main but can provide definition to your face and accentuate your good points whilst hiding those that you would rather others did not see.

Edgy Short Hairstyles

Edgy, short hairstyles can be just the thing to get you out of a hair styling rut. There is something about cutting off several inches or more that leaves many women feeling lighter and freer after a funky, short cut. Most short cuts are low-maintenance, freeing you from hours spent in front of the mirror with blow dryers and flat irons. If you're ready to take the plunge into a modern, short hairstyle, here are some tips that will ensure you end up looking and feeling fabulous.

Work with What You've Got
When looking for ideas for your new cut, keep in mind your hair's natural type and texture. For example, light, wispy bangs are probably not a reality for you if you've got course, curly locks. You'll have better luck if you work with nature, rather than try to fight it. Fortunately, a good stylist can help you achieve a funky, fresh look that will work with your hair's texture, so no matter what type of hair you have, you'll be able to find something that will work for you.

Consider Your Face Shape
With any hairstyle, it's important to take the shape of your face into consideration. For example, a few chin-length layers will compliment a heart-shaped face, while a side part and layers at cheekbone length can soften an angular jaw line. If in doubt about what will work with your face shape, talk to your stylist.

Put Your Best Features Forward
Short, edgy cuts can be a great way to draw the eye to your best features. Do you have a long, lovely neck? Show it off by buzzing the nape of the neck extra short. If you have beautiful doe eyes, some long spiky, side-swept bangs can make them stand out. If you're lucky enough to have gorgeous cheekbones, a super short cut can make you look fabulous.

Last but not least, make sure you go to a stylist you trust, particularly for a drastic cut. Ask friends whose hair you love for recommendations, and talk to a few stylists before you choose one.

How To Grow Your Hair Like A Surfer

Josh Holloway surfer hair style
One of the hottest looks going for men right now is the surfer look. The combination of a nice tan, good muscle tone, and surfer hair seem to drive the ladies wild. Fortunately, you do not have be a surfer, or even live near the shore to achieve this look. Here, we will take a look at how to grow your hair like a surfer.

Most surfers have hair that is slightly longer than average for a man. It usually reaches at least to their chin or shoulders, if not a bit longer. Once the hair has grown out just a little longer than the style that is desired, the ends need to be razor cut to provide some texture. The hair should also be cut in a sort of zig zag pattern instead of straight across.

There are several different styles that the hair can be cut to and shaped. The one thing all have in common is that they are extremely low maintenance. If you are attempting to adopt a surfer hair style, it is best to base the style on an example of someone with hair similar to yours. If you have wavy hair, some styles will work better than others. These same styles may not work at all for someone with hair that straight as a string.

The style should make use of a minimum amount of gel or other styling products. It will look a little mussed up at first glance, but this is the idea. There will not be a need to carry a comb around to ensure each hair is in place because the surfer style is free and easy going.

When it comes time to actually cut the hair and style it, it is best to stick to an experienced stylist. Simply show him or her a picture of the style you are trying to achieve and let him/her do the rest.

How Does Hair Dye Damage Your Hair?

Many people, male and female are not particularly happy with the color of their hair. This is especially true of individuals whose hair is beginning to turn gray. Others simply want to change the color of their hair in an effort to stand out or to make themselves feel more attractive. In certain instances, damage to the hair has been known to occur, which raises the question, "How does hair dye damage your hair?"

In the case of semi permanent or permanent hair dyes, hydrogen peroxide is often included to bleach the natural color out of the hair before the pigment is added. Ammonia is used to activate the color and to develop the final shade. These two chemicals have the potential to cause damage to the hair if not used properly.

The most common way that hair dye can damage hair is by drying out the hair shafts, leaving them brittle and prone to breakage. When this happens, extra care must be taken to avoid breaking the hair strands. It is possible to be left with practically no hair or to have patchy hair left behind when the shafts break off.

One thing that can increase this risk is failure to follow the directions on the box that the hair dye came in to the letter. The times listed for leaving the dye on the hair should be followed exactly. Overexposure to the chemicals can result in the hair being dried and damaged.

Mixing hair dye with other chemicals, such as permanents or hair relaxers can also result in chemical damage to the hair.

The next form of damage that can occur is that the hair is left an unnatural shade that is not the desired result. Different chemicals present in tap water and certain compounds found in the hair dye can react in unexpected ways to produce green, orange, or some other color that is not anticipated or desired.
