CURLY VS STRAIGHT

Hair… Curly vs straight?!jonathon powell, hair, fashion, stylist, curly vs straight hair

It’s either too curly or it’s too straight. It has too much volume (and eventually turns to frizz) or its too flat & won’t even stay up.

Truth is, the age-old question remains: What’s better curly or straight hair? And is there such thing as too curly or too straight?

Here is my curly vs straight hair resolution: Love your own crowning glory & find the product that’s right for you!

If there’s one thing I’m known for… It is definitely my hair. You know, I’m the “girl with the curls.” And over the years, I’ve definitely learned to love & tame the mane. That wasn’t always the case, in fact, my middle school years where quite disastrous for my hair-life. (LA Looks was my saving grace. Eeeek, gross! Let’s pretend I never said that. I wouldn’t put that junk in my hair today, even if you paid me!! And don’t worry I wont show you pictures or should I? ;) ) Thank goodness middle school was only 3 years of my life & now, I know better styling products exist.

Even though I eventually learned to style & manage my hair, the question still remains… Curly vs straight? Well, after spending some time observing hair trends at this year’s Mercedes Benz Swim Week. Guess what I found? Both are equally stylish & equally beautiful and with the help of Jonathan Products you can achieve any of the looks with ease! See for yourself:

Powell  was also the lead stylist for the L*Space – Monica Wise show where he created a sexy “wet look” bringing the perfect beach waves to our humid Miami beaches. “The Water is Waiting” theme inspired his hairstyles and the new Hydracurls collection helped bring them to life by adding the perfect blend of flirty & fun.

I don’t know about you, but doesn’t if feel like this year has completely flown by?

Does anyone ever have time for rest and relaxation anymore? Before you know it, it’s Halloween, Thanksgiving, then Christmas… Then hello New Year, yikes!

Well, in the midst of this non-stop, on-the-go life of mine, I’ve had a few people ask me all sorts of beauty questions lately. From: What hair product I use, to what mascara I recommend? Thus, today’s post.

Here are a few of my current beauty favorites…

5 beauty

  1. Smashbox–  Limitless Longwear Lipgloss – boundless: Oh the magic of gloss… It gives that effortless look with just the right amount of color and shine, great for both day and night!
  2. Bobbi Brown – Lash Glamour Lengthening Mascara: Perfectly separated long  lashes are hard to come by, but with this olive-derived, Vitamin B mascara I can be smudge-free all day long!
  3. Deva Curl – Light Defining Gel: This product is probably my best friend, not only does it help me avoid frizz, but it also defines my curls by locking in the good moisture and keeping out the bad. I don’t leave my house without this puppy! It’s part of my curly hair regimen.
  4. essie – blue rhapsody: Regardless of how busy you are, every girl needs a good mani and pedi — and this pop of blue metallic feels like a fun jazz song unveiling before me, shiny yet matte with a mix of cool  and sheen.
  5. Resvology – Age Corrective Eye Cream: Who says we can’t turn back time or at least slow it down? This lightweight, hydrating eye cream minimizes lines and wrinkles, as it firms, tightens and refines your eyes. Oh and did I mention it’s paraben and sulfate free? Yup, I’m a fan!

 

There you have it! Those are my little go-to beauty weapons for long work days. What are some of yours?
