Summer Cuts

This summer has been HOT. With the heat, the first thing I think of is getting my HAIR off my neck. Haircut anyone? Well that's what I have been doing all summer. My cutting shears haven't seen this much action since I worked in a salon full time. If you haven't heard by now, I cut off Alicia Keys hair into a super sexy nape length bob. She has the flexibility to wear her hair smooth and sleek or super curly (which is my fave).

In addition to cutting her hair, I have been doing some cutting trials on a few other major celebs.....Of course I cant mention until they are ready to reveal, but I promise you will LOVE the finished results.

Oh, BTW, did I mention I cut my hair too. I  have been nursing my HAIR back to health over the last 2 years with HAIR by tippi shorter, of course, and I finally had enough length to cut my hair into a layered bob at the nape. Short hair is so liberating, I absolutely enjoy the shortened time it  takes to do my hair. I got what we call a "chemical cut" in the salon. It was a forced cut due to the Keratin treatment I got a few years back. Now my hair is uber healthy and I have gone back to my good old faithful of texturizing my hair twice a year.
Lesson from all of this, take the risk and try something new with your length whether is from a forced cut or you do it voluntarily. Let your hairstyle have a bit of freedom.

want to get Alicia Keys gorgeous curls....


Have you seen Alicia Keys gorgeous curls lately...
For the press of her directing debut for FIVE on lifetime, we chose to go with a different take on her natural curl. Here is a step by step using HAIR by tippi shorter.
*shampoo and condition with the smoothing line
*spray Dtangle throughout hair to detangle of course.
*mix a cocktail of Glaze and Flex and run it through the hair making sure to saturate each curl.
*using a diffuser, dry hair while stretching out the curl and start creating your center part.
*once hair is dry, use a pinky size curling iron to fix any curl that may need a little more shaping.
*use a couple of drops of Sleek to scrunch shine into the hair.
