Straight vs Curly!!

Feb
08
2011

With all of the hype of the Brazilian and Japanese straighteners on the market, you have to wonder…. where are the people who want curly/wavy hair.  Clients have donned masks and undergone lengthy treatments to remove any traces of their curly hair.  Giselle made the ‘bed head’ look very popular and sought after.  Where is that client? Well, it seems she is resurfacing.  Clients are once again headed to the salon to not straighten but get beachy, sexy waves.

With the 80′s stigma of the ‘Perm” being removed, clients are trading their curling irons in for chemicals.  Perms are so much gentler than their previous versions, with shorter processing times and larger rods.

At Style New York, clients can get full head weaves with curly hair that can also be straightened.  Both looks can be very sexy, depending on your mood.  This option gives clients the best of both worlds…..

There has always been a straight vs curly battle.  It seems everyone always wants what they don’t have.  In 2011, there is something for everyone!

HAIRDRESSERS AGAINST AIDS

Use your voice! Use your power! For a beautiful world without Aids!!!

There are many myths about HIV, make sure you know the facts to help protect yourself and your loved ones.

While Americans ages 13 to 29 bear a disproportionate HIV burden, accounting for 34% of all new HIV infections in the U.S., HIV and AIDS affect Americans at every life stage. For example, 24% of people living with HIV/AIDS are 50 and older, and 10% of new HIV infections occur among people 50-plus.

The number of new HIV infections in the U.S. has remained high, and unchanged, for nearly a decade. Every year, there are approximately 56,000 new HIV infections in the U.S.

U.S. HIV infection rates are on the rise among men who have sex with men – who account for 53% of new HIV infections. Black Americans account for 46% of new HIV infections.

While abstinence is the best way to reduce the sexual transmission of HIV, you can dramatically reduce your risk of HIV infection by using condoms during sexual activity, knowing your HIV status and your partner’s, and reducing your number of partners.

AIDS is the leading cause of death for Black women ages 18 to 34.

It’s almost Fall fashion time — from the runways of New York’s Mercedes – Benz Fashion Week to the cover of September’s Vogue magazine — where Halle Berry is one of the few African-American to grace the cover.
Berry graces Vogue’s September issue, which is the biggest issue of the year, becoming only the second black woman to be in a September issue since 1989 when Naomi Campbell became the first.
Where is fashion going next for black models — and black women in general?

Who’s doing it right — inside and outside of the fashion world? With all eyes on the first lady’s fashions — has there been an “Obama Effect” on the industry?

Beyond first lady Michelle Obama — which non- fashionista has the best fashion sense in your view?

And what about you? What inspires the way you dress every day?
