Holiday Hair Tips!
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
Brittney Powell of OMGhairstyles is an on-going sponsor to the Velvet Kittens, specializing in coloring, styling, and fusion extensions. Here are her Holiday Hair Tips. Enjoy!
1. Have a mini-makeover kit in your purse. It should include bobby pins, hair elastics, a mini-curling or flat iron, your favorite hair brush, and travel size hair spray and root lift. This kit and a little imagination can transform any casual day ‘do into night-time glamour.
2. Don’t worry about what you can’t see. Focus on the front and top layers of your hair when you have the need for speed. Have you ever had a special night scheduled and your boss just won’t let you leave? Often this leaves you with only 15 minutes to get ready for a party that has already started. When your hair looks disheveled from a long day at work, blow dry only the top layers and the hair around your face. This just takes a few minutes and will give you a finished look. I promise no one will notice that your under layers are undone.
3. Romantic and chic curls. This is a perfect hairdo for the holiday season. Use a large barrow curling iron and take 2-inch sections at a 90-degree angle from your head. You can also use electric rollers for a similar effect. Roll the curlers away from your face. Undo the rollers and comb with your fingers.
4. Wear a pony to your party. Pony tails no longer mean you are going to spend the night at home alone eating popcorn while watching an old movie on TV. To be party-ready in moments, pull your hair back with your fingers, secure with an elastic, and spray hair in place. The best pony tails are medium to low in height. For a more finished look, twist a small strand of hair around an elastic and pin in place.
5. Work a messy updo. Ironically, it also the easiest style to do yourself. To achieve this look, use a root lift spray and blow dry your head turned upside down. Pull hair up and back in a loose pony tail. Randomly twist, pin, and secure pony to the hair you tied back. Release a few tendrils of hair to frame your face.
By the way, if you are a salon color client, make your appointment today. This is the time of year when every colorist is booked solid. Nothing is worse than getting dressed up and having your roots show. This usually only works if you are Madonna. If it’s not possible to color your hair, avoid straight hair with a definite part. Cover and disguise your roots sporting a hair style with curls or waves.
Party time is here! Don’t be nervous if you are not picture perfect. Look around the room. No one really is. Have a good time. The season only happens once a year. Happy holidays!

Hair of the Dog that Bit Ya!
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
Austin based funk band Honeybread will be at Lakewood Bar and Grill early Jan. 2009! Here’s the info from the band:
Once you've had a couple of days to recover from the New Year's Eve parties, get-togethers, ball watchings and debaucheries, you're gonna need a "Little Hair of the Dog That Bit Ya". On Saturday, January 3rd, Austin based band Honeybread will be playing at The Lakewood Bar & Grill. This would be a perfect opportunity to hang out, have a couple of drinks (Just A Couple!), chill out and listen to some funky good music! Bring as many people as you want, even that weird uncle of yours who's still in town. There will be a small cover at the door, probably no more than five bucks.
Lakewood Bar and Grill is located at 6340 Gaston Ave in Dallas, Tx. (75214). For more info on Honeybread visit their myspace page at www.myspace.com/honeybreadmusic.
