Spring/Summer 2013 Hairstyle Trends: Knotted Buns, Plaited Braids, Textured Waves And Hair Accessories

The new year may have only just begun, but the Spring/Summer 2013 hair trends have already been unveiled! If you want to keep your hair on the cutting edge of fashion, consider trying out some of these brand-new styles.

Choose from the sophisticated ease of the bun with a new addition: intentional knots for dimension; get your low ponytail on with some simple hair accessories to add a new flare to the classic look, or try rocking some flowing waves for a carefree yet on-trend hair look. Read on to find out some of Spring/Summer 2013’s latest hair trends!

The Bun

The bun hairstyle is one of the best for Spring/Summer 2013. This season, it’s all about the intricacy of the bun, with knots added into the style to give it new dimension. Go for a combination of chignon and ballerina bun when creating your style to ensure you get a catwalk-ready look.

The Braid

Braids manage to appear incredibly complex while actually being deceptively simple. Have a go at recreating Jason Wu’s French braid (pictured), or braid sections of hair to create an equally stunning style. At Hershesons, you can buy braided headbands that can give you this look without any effort on your part whatsoever.

The Low Pony

The ponytails seen on the catwalk for the Spring/Summer 2013 season take this style to the next level. With the use of some of the simplest hair accessories available, you can style an ultra-low ponytail just like the ones seen at Michael Kors (pictured).

Waves

Gentle wavy hair conveys a sense of femininity and style. Whether your hair is naturally wavy or you use styling products to achieve this look, make sure the end result produces tumbling curls and gentle waves. You could use a heated curling iron when creating this style.

Accessories

Hair accessories are set to be more important than ever in 2013, and if Chanel’s recent creation (pictured) is anything to go by, your accessories should be as opulent as possible. Of course, you’ll still need your old favorites to do the behind-the-scenes work, so you should keep a good stash of elastics, pins and hairbands at the ready.

You can find all of the accessories and style tips you need to ensure you’re ready for 2013 right here at Hershesons.

E-Salon: New Breakthrough Hair Color

haircolor

Are you tired of those at-home boxed hair coloring systems that leave you frustrated, and running to your hairstylist for help? Well, there’s a BIG secret your stylist doesn’t want you to know about: A new hair care company called eSalon.com that is infuriating hairstylists across the country… with one good hair coloring job at a time!

eSalon has great reviews from InStyle, Total Beauty, Good Housekeeping and a bunch of other blog sites. Their Facebook page seems to have lots of happy customers who rave about them as well. But you’ll also see hairdressers that are upset over eSalon’s service.

In recent press, eSalon’s color director Estelle Baumhauer said the company is fast becoming a target foroutraged stylists: “I’ve had outraged stylists come up to me and say, ‘How could you do this? You’re going toput us out of business!’”

Maybe that’s because eSalon offers professional salon services in your own home. Plus, it’s way more affordable and comes with the guidance of experts – so you get the full salon treatment without paying a fortune.

eSalon actually uses your personal hair details and color preference to blend up your individual dye, just like a salon. They use quality ingredients so you get silky, shiny hair with complete gray coverage.  It even comes with your name on the bottle – that’s how personalized the service is!

Then, they deliver it to you for $20.00. The order also contains a coloring guide from a professional colorist to help you through the process.

Women love going to the salon for a massage and personal treatment, but, these days, everyone needs to save money where they can. For me, that means coloring my own hair. This new idea of boxed, salon color is exactly what many of us were waiting for!

And it sounds like hair salons are feeling the heat. “Sometimes I’m reluctant to tell other colorists what I do,” Estelle says. “But for the most part I’m proud of the service we offer busy, professional women.”

SPECIAL OFFER: If you’re ready to say “buh-bye” to your hairstylist, eSalon gives you your first order of hair dye for just $9.95 (saving you 50%), plus, they’ll refund your whole order if you’re not happy! Click here to give eSalon a try!  —> www.ESalon.com

Unclotting Vitamin K

01

We’re looking at some new multivitamin products at work, and since my last post on Vitamin D, I was wondering what other vitamins I’m missing from my daily diet.  So everyone’s heard of Vitamin A, B, C, D, and E but what’s up with Vitamin K and why did we skip Vitamin F, G, H, and I?  The answer:  a German scientist who discovered this vitamin named it K because of its primary property in blood clotting (or “Koagulation” in German).

Where to Get Vitamin K

Naturally occurring Vitamin K (phylloquinone) comes from foods like green, leafy vegetables and green tea.  Some of my favorite products that are high in Vitamin K are:

  1. Broccoli
  2. Spinach
  3. Kale
  4. Romaine Lettuce
  5. Parsley
  6. Brussel Sprouts (New for me! I just discovered this while at a restaurant last Friday.  I never thought I could like this vegetable.)
  7. Collard Greens (so good!)
  8. Cucumber
  9. Tomato
  10. Blueberry

The other form (menaquinones) comes from bacteria in the gut (yes, healthy bacteria lives in our intestines).  Bacteria in the gut produce a range of vitamin K2 forms, each with side chains composed of a variable number of chemical compounds.  Menaquinones can also be found in food that contains bacteria like cheese and natto, or in animals that also produce the vitamin via their gut bacteria.
