Viviscal Hair Loss Treatment & Body Care

The celebrity hairstylist and weave guru Nadia Vassell(who admittedly swears by Mizani products) has worked her magic on the tresses of actress Tika Sumpter and singers Chrisette Michele and Ashanti. The Jamaican-born entrepreneur decided to take her natural skills and foster her craft in the Big Apple, tucked away in her Lower East Side salon. As well, she saw a void in the market for quality extensions. We’ve all seen the tangled and mangled mess of a weave that sheds, so Miss Vassell (with Tika Sumpter in tow) headed to India and created Haven Hair Extensions. Now renamed to NV Hairextensions for brand consistency, the premium line is a guaranteed no shedding, no tangling brand.

Taking a trip to her intimate hair boutique myself, I decided to tap the boss Vixen for a few tips on transitioning from relaxed hair to natural. Although going natural is trendy this days, it’s actually a lot healthier for your hair (especially if you workout all the time)! Nadia shares her top three suggestions to getting the job done:

1. You can be bold and cut it all off, however I rarely go for this choice, most women, even me as a hairstylist , I cringe at the thought of cutting off my hair that took a very long time to grow.

2. Trim the relaxed ends every six weeks, you can also do a soft press, probably once a month, moisturize, deep condition.  Some people feel as if their hair will break off if they don’t go for the cut it all off option.  But that’s not the case, with proper hair care regiments, you can reduce the possibility of breakage.

3. Opt for protective styles, which includes weaves and braiding. Any style that will keep you from doing anything redundant and harsh to your own hair.  A weave, for example, is fun. You can experiment with colors, lengths and a variety of styles.  A weave can last from 2-3 months with proper care and choosing an expert who is experience enough.

Of course with our great tips out the way, we asked the hair goddess which styles are easy for the on-the-go Vixen. She says:

Easy to do hairstyles for the everyday woman can depend on her lifestyle. Big barrel bouncy curls is ideal for work, or pull your hair to your favorite side and create a low pony.  After work, just let loose, be free and sexy.

The National American Hairstylists Association's Hairstylist of the Year Eli Mancha appeared on Better TV today to talk about the honour of winning the award and also to give out some free hairstyling tips. One of the three products Eli spoke about in particular was Viviscal (in fact it was his favorite).

A woman's hair is her crowning glory. It frames her face and completes her appearance. She can talk with her hair, and there are so many ways that a person can tell about her by simply looking at her hair. It is therefore very important for a woman to take care of her hair, to keep it clean, moisturized and trimmed, so that it would remain soft, shiny and neat.

Most women cut their hair to different styles in an attempt to enhance their looks. Some like their hair long and straight, while others like to wear their hair long and with abundant curls and ringlets. There are others who go for the minimum, no-fuss look and always have their hair cut short and simple, while others wish to strike a balance between femininity and practicality and keep their hair at mid-length. And there are still others who like experimenting on color and highlights, not just with the length and cut of their hair.

The most advanced piece of mathematical and scientific knowledge I carry around in my head these days is that your hair is 50 percent of your looks. And when you’ve gained 10 pounds or are worrying over a new wrinkle, that could jump to 75 percent.

The good news is that your hair is totally — okay 97.8 percent — in your control. Here’s how not to act old in terms of what you do with your hair.

DON’T GO GRAY.  I know some of want to stone me for saying this, but as a crusader for not acting older than you need to, I feel bound to tell you that letting your hair go gray makes nearly every woman look instantly years older. True, gray hair can be lovely, and undoubtedly easier and less expensive to maintain. And perhaps you just want to cultivate an up-yours attitude by wearing your hair in a gray crewcut while dressing in an orange thong bikini to which I say, Bravo.

But if you’re looking for simple ways to act and look more youthful, coloring the gray may be Number 1.
