Hair Myths – Fact or Fiction?

1. Brush your hair 100 strokes each night
2.Trimming frequently allows hair to grow out faster.
3.Sleeping while your hair is wet will blind you.

So many myths, so little time! We’re attempting to get to the facts once and for all, with this compilation from Yahoo’s Shine Network.

Myth: Frequent trims make hair grow faster.
Fact: According to John Barrett, owner of the John Barrett Salon in New York City, "Hair grows a half-inch per month, whether you cut it or not." What a trim will do is eliminate split ends to make your hair look better.

Myth: Stress can make your hair fall out.
Fact: According to Gerome Litt, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, it is possible to lose a few more strands when you're extremely stressed out. He adds, “Other culprits are pregnancy or antibiotics. After a few weeks, it will almost certainly grow back.” But, if you must know, your hair is already falling out all the time (about 50 to 120 strands per day).

Myth: Switching shampoos can make hair look healthier.
Fact: According to hair and scalp expert Philip Kingsley, “Hair can't tell the difference between brands or build up tolerance to any product. Your favorite shampoo will work the same every time you lather up, week after week, month after month.”

Myth: If you pluck out one gray hair, two or three will sprout in its place.
Fact: The truth is, it’s false! However, plucking out those gray strands is a bad habit. You can damage the roots, cause infection or leave a scar.

Myth: You can't make flat, fine hair look full of body.
Fact: You can instantly add life to straight hair with just five minutes with a set of large hot rollers.

Myth: Rinsing with ice-cold water after a shampoo will give you shinier hair.
Fact: Not so. It might help perk you up for the morning, though.

Myth: Coloring your hair causes major damage.
Fact: Today, the market is teeming with hair products that are gentle enough not to weaken your hair. But Kingsley advises, “It can't hurt to consult a professional stylist the first time you do anything permanent to your hair or scalp.”

Myth: You should brush your hair 100 strokes every day.
Fact: According to Kingsley, “Brush it only to style it, because brushing pulls hairs out of their follicles and possibly weakens individual strands.”

Myth: You can mend split ends with the right products.
Fact: Sorry, but once they're split, that's it. You’re left with cutting them off. According to celebrity stylist Jimmy Paul, you can make split ends less noticeable by applying a product containing silicone or beeswax to temporarily seal ends together.

Myth: To get really clean hair, you must lather, rinse, and repeat.
Fact: One thorough washing will do the trick!

Hair Nightmare? Here We Come to Save the Day!

So… you’re having one of those days when your hair decides to rebel? This week, the No Slippy Style Train is ready to share some tricks of the trade for taming your tresses. And you don’t even have to break a sweat or spend a dime!

The first stop: quick fixes for the most common hair nightmares. No Slippy Hair Clippy says: A stylish hair accessory will not only enhance your overall look, it can also start a conversation!


Here are some more tips from Cosmopolitan.com:

When Your Hair Gets Entangled in a Round Brush:

* If you panic and tug; the knots only get tighter.

* Gently remove as much hair as you can with your fingers, and clip up the freed strands.

* Using a rattail comb, knitting needle, or any stick with a thin tip, dislodge the remaining hair bit by bit from the bristles.

When Your Dye Job Goes Awry

* See a professional colorist as soon as possible. This may be more complicated than normal coloring, so be prepared to pay more.

* If you can not set an appointment immediately, wear your hair curly. This will make the botched colors less noticeable.

When You Mess Up Trimming Your Bangs

* If you accidentally chop off too much on one side, it’s time to do a side sweep! Part your hair on the side where your bangs are the longest, then sweep them across your forehead.

* If you trimmed your bangs straight but too short, you can brush them against your forehead and place a scarf or headband at your hairline. This will nudge them down to a normal-looking length.

When You Get a Burn from Your Curling Iron

* Assess the burn. A first degree burn has redness but no blistering. A second degree burn has inflammation and mild blistering.

* If it looks like a first-degree burn, apply an antibiotic ointment twice a day to guard against infection. In the meantime, avoid sun exposure to prevent discoloration. If it looks like a second-degree burn, see a physician for a prescription topical antibiotic.

* Until it heals, don't use makeup on the burn. You can disguise it by leaving your locks loose and tousling them forward.

No Slippy Hair Clippy's Road to Success

No Slippy Hair Clippy's very own Annie Salyer was featured recently by The Giggle Guide. According to her, she has had several interviews over the years but this one has captured the spirit of No Slippy Hair Clippy as a company, from where it began to where it is going. Here's an excerpt from the insightful write-up:

No Slippy Hair Clippy Has a Firm Grip on Success
By Shannon Allen

As the owner of No Slippy Hair Clippy ®, Annie Salyer is immersed in all things girly — bows, ribbons, flowers, barrettes, and fabric. But this mother of two boys isn’t complaining. “Honestly, I think most girls love hair accessories,” she says. “I grew up with four sisters, and we were always putting clips, ribbons and bows in our hair. I definitely have more of a passion now, especially after serving as the sole Hair Clippy designer the past six years.”

It's a Girl!
The company’s first and signature “no-slip hair clip” was invented out of sheer frustration 10 years ago when a mom with a nearly bald baby girl fashioned a cute hair clip that would stay securely in place. “For generations, baby girls have been mistaken for boys,” Salyer says. “That is until No Slippy Hair Clippy came along! Before we opened in 2001, you couldn’t find a hair accessory created specifically to stay in baby-fine hair. Today, there’s no reason a baby girl need be mistaken for a boy — our beautiful and versatile products definitely solve this problem!”

Fashion that Attracts, Minus the Magnet
No Slippy’s unique hair clips were originally designed with a magnet that enhanced the hold. Today, the product incorporates Swiss velvet, wrapped completely around 1 3/4-inch pinch alligator clips, 2 1/4-inch French barrettes and 1 1/4-inch mini baby clips to provide as snug and secure a grip as a magnet.

All of the hair accessories are handcrafted in the United States, using non-toxic glues and adhesives and CPSIA-certified trims that are sourced from all over the world. “Today’s clip version is sleek, lighter weight and so soft, you hardly know it’s there,” Salyer notes. The bows are made with grosgrain, organza and velvet ribbon, and the novelty clips feature adorable appliqués. An organic cotton head wrap, with big flowers and butterflies, adds a “go green” touch to the product line. “It’s a wonderful band that is super soft and stretchy, and I have not seen anything like it in the marketplace,” Salyer reports.

No Slippy Hair Clippy Thanks You!

No Slippy Hair Clippy has been receiving so much press lately, in magazine features and blogs. As our way of saying thanks for the overwhelming support, we have decided to give away gift certificates and discounts so you can continue to enjoy the first and finest non-slip hair accessories in the market.

We have another one hosted by Debbie of MomShopaholic: get a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to splurge on all your favorite No Slippy Hair Clippy accessories. Or, if you want to shop right now, get the discount code to get 15% off your purchase!

Along with these, Debbie also wrote a lovely review of our products, in case you were wondering what it is that sets No Slippy Hair Clippy apart from the rest. Here's an excerpt of her review:

"Their hair clips are quite unique and beautiful, with a patent pending. Originally designed with a magnet to enhance the hold, they now use a more expensive Plush Swiss Velvet wrapped completely around the metal clip, to provide an identical snug, secure grip. It’s now lighter weight, and so soft that she won’t even know it’s there! Their clips won’t hurt if she pulls them out, either, and because they use the highest quality clips available, they don’t bend easily, like others do."

Bye Bye Clippy

But don't worry, we are not going anywhere and our non-slip hair clips are here to stay. We just had to let go of a few designs to make room for new adorable ones that we hope you will love as well.

Haiti Still Needs You

It’s been several months since the tragic earthquake, and Haiti still needs our help. Particularly the children, who have lost their parents and their homes and are now facing more danger as a result of hurricane season. Haiti is still a very long way from getting back on their feet and they need help rebuilding not just their country, but also their lives.

Here's an excerpt of what Caryl Stern, President and CEO of US Fund for UNICEF, wrote to me:

Dear Annie,

They lost their mothers and fathers. Their schools were destroyed. Now countless children languish in over-crowded, disease-prone camps.

Haiti's children still need your help. And with the hurricane season ahead, they now face increased risk of disease.

These child survivors represent an entire generation of Haitians. Their future is literally in your hands.

Donate before June 30th and you will be ensuring that UNICEF's efforts in Haiti continue. Here are the projects you will be funding:

* Nutrition supplies for 495,000 children and 200,000 pregnant or breast-feeding women;
* Millions of gallons of potable water;
* School-in-a-box kits and tents to serve as temporary classrooms;
* 8 new garbage disposal sites to serve 5 million people while sanitation facilities are rebuilt; and
* Additional field staff on border points where children are at risk of trafficking.

Reconstruction in Haiti means nothing if these children don't make it. This is a massive undertaking. It will take an unprecedented level of support. But failure to act now only sentences Haiti's children to more suffering.

More than ever, Haiti depends on external aid. After years of political strife and consecutive hurricanes, the January 12 earthquake plunged Haiti into one of the worst humanitarian crises the world has seen.

Please, help give them a brighter, more secure future.

With much gratitude,

Caryl M. Stern
President & CEO
U.S. Fund for UNICEF

No Slippy Hair Clippy has pledged a portion of our sales to UNICEF. This plea reminds us to continue our support. I hope it has reminded you as well.

All the Single Dads...

All you single fathers out there, we salute you! Parenting has got to be one of the toughest jobs on the planet and doing it alone requires near-superhuman powers. This Father's Month (yes, we have declared it!) we give you this little tribute to hopefully make your lives a little easier.

This week will be all about parenting tips that has helped us moms through the years and which we hope will be helpful to you as well. I found an insightful rundown of tips from BabyZone on how to calm a crying baby:


22 Ways to Calm a Crying Baby

Stay Calm
The best thing parents can do when their infant is crying is to stay calm. An increase in your stress level will increase your baby's. Remain calm and your baby might follow suit.

Check Baby's Diaper
A wet or soiled diaper is one of the most common reasons for a baby's tears. Even if you have recently changed your baby's diaper, it's still a good idea to check again. Check Baby's diaper first before trying other calming methods, and change as needed.

Check Baby's Temperature
Feel the back of your baby's neck to see if she is too hot or too cold. Add or remove layers accordingly. If you're not sure whether the skin temperature feels normal, take your baby's temperature with a thermometer. If your baby has a fever—any temperature above 100.4°F or 38°C—you should call your child's doctor.

Feed Baby
Most babies cry when they are hungry. Try offering the breast or bottle to soothe your little one. Sometimes breastfeeding mothers worry that they will overfeed their babies because their babies seem to want to eat so often. Experts say it is normal for breastfeeding babies to eat often, as breast milk is quickly absorbed.

Ease Gas Pain
If Baby starts crying after a feeding, he may have a gas bubble. Try patting his back, bending his knees toward his chest, or rubbing his back while he lies on your lap to release the gas. Successful burping is a skill most parents come to pride themselves on, but it's also one of the oddest things a person could have imagined doing before becoming a parent.

Distract Baby
It's surprising how often this method works. Parents who've tried this suggest making faces or blowing raspberries as surefire ways to make Baby laugh, and to take her mind off of the reason for her tears.

Snuggle
Sometimes, all a baby needs is love. Take a few moments to snuggle with your little one. Give him kisses and hugs, hold him close, and tell him how much you love him.

Change the Way You Hold Baby
Some little ones like to be held over the shoulder, some prefer the football hold, and still others like to be held facing out. Experiment to learn what your infant likes best.

Sing or Hum
Soft, gentle songs sung by a familiar voice will often calm Baby's cries. Even if the singer is not particularly gifted, give this tip a try. Humming also offers a soothing vibratory sensation.

Dance
A slow, repetitive motion can lull Baby into a peaceful state. The warmth of a loved one's body and the snuggling that goes along with the dance are added benefits.

Some More for Daddy

Father's Day has come and gone, but the dads in our lives are too special to celebrate in just one day, right? Surprise him with post-Father's Day gifts that you and your kids can easily make at home.

Here are great ideas from LilSugar:

* Bake a Father’s Day cake (or cupcakes). Snatch up some glitz in the baking aisle to frou-frou it up. You can write out your own “Happy Father’s Day Daddy!” with a tube of blue frosting. If your little one is old enough to enjoy a song and a good clap, grab the opening to sing “Happy Father’s Day to you” in the tune of “Happy Birthday” and you will have your munchkin involved in no time. Not to mention, they’ll love a couple bites of that cake!

* Have them “make” Daddy a card. Washable finger-paint, markers, and crayons are wonderful for this kind of occasion. If your little one is a bit too young to be introduced to the world of finger-painting artistry, you can make “baby’s signature” handprints by using washable finger-paint on a piece of construction paper.

* Use photos! Take the adorable stash of photos you undoubtedly have of your little one and Daddy to form a photo album or a collage.

And here's one from us!

* Dress up for Dad. Let your little girl greet him with a sunny smile, a pretty dress and precious hair accessories. Make him feel extra special by looking extra special and maybe taking him on an all-dressed-up lunch or dinner at home. Why not roll out a red carpet for him, too? Any red-colored rug would do! It's a whole new experience that we're sure he'll remember fondly. Of course, if we're talking about hair accessories, there's nothing more special out there than *ahem* No Slippy Hair Clippy!


This darling little lady is wearing our Shayla Ribbed Organza Baby Bow in light blue! The lovely bow is available in nine colors, so you have something to match all your daughter's favorite dresses.

Best Summer Hairstyles

I love summer (next to spring, though, but I love it nonetheless). First of all, and I won't deny it, I love it because school's out: back when I was still in school and even until now! There's just that fantastic feeling of slowing down, taking things a wee bit easy, more opportunities to sleep in, and of course, all the activities you can do now that you and your kids aren't swamped with schoolwork.

Second, summer always opens so many opportunities to go out and have some fun sun time. Of course, if you're going out there to strut your stuff, you'll have to be at your best. Well, for all things hairstyle, you know you can count on me *wink*

This season, to see the trendiest hairstyles, just look at the stars. Hollywood, that is. Being public figures, celebrities know that staying in the public eye is either looking horrific or looking fabulous. Like us, normal human beings, most of them thankfully choose the latter. So here's an excerpt of Elle.com's top celebrity hair trends for summer:

BEST SUMMER HAIRSTYLES FOR 2010

Wavy Bob
For a carefree summer do, above-the-shoulder waves are the way to go. Both Zoe Saldana and Jessica Alba have recently trimmed their tresses to sport this tousled style.


Messy Side Braid
Boho-chic fashionista Nicole Richie rocks a messy side-braid effortlessly.

Ballerina Bun
As Rachel McAdams demonstrates, a ballerina bun is ideal for showing off shoulders and statement earrings.



Straight Hair
Beach waves are always fun for summer, but as the spring and fall catwalks proved, straight strands like Reese Witherspoon's are back.

Pixie Cut
It Girl Carey Mulligan and her Twiggy-esque do have been ruling the red carpet.


Side Pony
Showcasing this sideswept look just right: reality TV star turned author Lauren Conrad.
And here's one from us!

Accessorize!
No matter what type of hair you have, summery hair accessories will always give you that extra oomph! Just like this fun and playful Tonya headband!


Or this dainty and delicate Ryan hairclip!

A Clippy Salute

Happy Memorial Day! Today, we salute the noble men and women who have given their all in the service of our nation.

So hats off to all our heroes. Here's a little Clippy salute that we wholeheartedly give to you: our Liberty Clippy!


Some fun facts about Memorial Day:

Memorial Day was formerly known as Decoration Day. It commemorates American men and women who died while in the military service. Traditionally, people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials to pay homage to our country's heroes. There are also national celebrations, where people gather together with flags of the United States of America in a parade to honor fallen heroes.

Apart from these, some people also love to go on picnics and have barbecues among family and close friends. So for this week, I'll be posting great ideas for gatherings and fun activities that you can share with the kiddos! Plus, let's not forget that with this holiday, we officially mark the beginning of summer!

Ponder, ponder, ponder...
How do you celebrate Memorial Day? Any special traditions that you observe in your family?

Cheerios!
Rach

The Best Swimsuits for Your Body Part 2 (Oh and Accessories to Match!)

To finish off our week of prepping you for summer, here's the second part of our guide to the best swimsuits for your body type! All thanks to our friends at StyleBakery.com :o)

FOR LARGE BUSTS AND PLUS SIZES
Best Swimsuits for Large Busts Look For:
* Underwire tops, formed cups and wider bands under the bustline that provide the extra support you need.

* One-piece swimsuits with some structure in the bust, such as soft foam cups or a shelf bra.

* Halter-top bikinis offer support while providing some great cleavage too. Look for styles that are banded under the bustline and can be tied in back and around the neck to allow you to make adjustments.

Avoid
* Strapless bandeau tops and those tiny, triangle tops that offer minimal coverage.

Best Swim Suits for Plus Sizes
Look For:
* Deep v-necks, well-placed cutouts, lace or mesh inserts - showing a little skin in the right places can be a sexy and flattering visual.

* Lengthen your thigh with swimsuits that have a high cut leg or adjustable ruching detail at the hip.

* Don't be afraid of prints and patterns, these can help camouflage lumps and bumps.

Avoid
* Too much fabric and boy short styles. Stay away from white, as well as bright fabrics.

More info here!

Of course, you MUST top all this off with the right hair accessories! And we have just the thing for you. You can never go wrong with a little touch of flowers. They celebrate your femininity and gives your look just the right "Oomph!"
