What’s A Bad Hair Day?
A few months ago I had my hair titivated with several Original Diva Exclusive Hair Inserts and gosh was that ever fun. When the near OCD-like shaking of the head and the shameless reflection gazing subsided somewhat, it dawned on me that with these nifty, clip-on, Silk Remy human hair inserts, there is really no longer a need for there to be such a thing as a “bad hair day” ever again. I’m liking that notion, absolutely! Original Diva offers you a “great hair day” with their three, Original Diva 100% Human Hair Extensions options:
Single Clip-on Highlights Offers you a burst of colour or a subtle high or low light to complement any hair tone.
Original Diva In a Box This is your full head of hair in multiple clip-on tracks of inserts that can be used as often as desired and inserted and removed in minutes.
Permanent Micro Ring System Original Diva’s Permanent Ring Micro System offers the wearer a keratin tipped end sitting close to the scalp attached with soft teflon coated beads for reduced scalp irritation. As your hair grows, a professional stylist can easily reposition the beads to the roots of the hair for ongoing wear.
Original Diva products are sold throughout Australia’s leading salons, but do be sure to visit the Original Diva Online store for so much more! *still flicking*

C{4U and For Me.
As many of you will know I am a flat iron hound and am always on the lookout for a marvelous shampoo and conditioner to nourish my naturally curly hair that is very often being cajoled (read: shamelessly coerced) straight. Well I have found the most unsuspecting ally in what has seemed a never-ending pursuit to keep my tresses in trim. The proudly Australian PPS Hairwear company has created the C{4u line of shampoos and conditioners of which Beauty Marked! has been absolutely digging the magical C{4u Curl Cure Shampoo and Conditioner. Who would have thunk it? A shampoo and conditioner designed especially for curly hair that works a treat to support the hair of the likes of this serial straightener. C{4u Curl Cure’s moisture intensive curl complex of apricot and olive oils and vitamin E, not only leave my hair protected, but smooth, hydrated, strengthened and criminally supple to boot. *whispers* Not a bad preparative foundation for a flat iron now is it?
C{4u Shampoo and Conditioner sets are also available in Colour Addict, Expand, Frequent Shampoo & Frequent Conditioner, Revamp, and Thermal varieties. With PPS’ C{4u, you are assured of finding a fabulous bit of hair care just for you!
Is There Such A Thing?
I know that there are laws about smoking in public places and that the designated smoking areas are getting fewer and fewer. But this post is not so much a commentary on the lack of places to smoke, as I am a non-smoker, but more to do with the fact that even with the quasi-rigid anti-smoking laws, I still seem to get the uninvited and ultra tenacious smoke smell in my hair when I go out in public. How’s that work? What we really need is a shampoo, conditioner, or styling product that will transcend cigarette smoke. No point in going for the gorgeous hair spritzes that wonderfully scent your tresses as even they don’t seem to be able to keep the upper hand on those wayward wafts, because Lord knows I’ve tried them. What do you reckon Lovelies? Is there such a thing as a super duper cloaking device that will protect our precious hair from passive pong? Do be sure to let me know if you learn of one. In the meantime, off to the shower I go…Again.
How Nifty Is This?
When your running late and have an annoying case of flakeys on your face and haven’t got time for a zippy mechanical exfoliation or did one and missed a few rogue terrors, just grab your tweezers to sort out the rest. Seriously, it’s as easy as tweezing off the offending bits of skin with stealth precision, moisturizing, and away you go. I know…too cool!
