The Obsession

Can you spend an hour or more in beauty supply stores?  Do you have multiple subscriptions to or can't help but pick up the latest hair magazine?  Is your 'under the sink' storage area so full that you have a special product area for your impulse purchases?  It's offiicial - you're obsessed.

The Attitude

All Tressed Up is more than the name of a website, it's an attitude.  Ask anyone - when you look good you do for the most part, feel good.  This website gives the everyday woman and/or man the opportunity to share just how wonderful you are!  Are you All Tressed Up today?

Target is Doing the Daggone Thang!

E-mail Print PDF

I remember when I used to consider Target to be a Walmart for snobs, but oh no, no, no...Either I am now a snob or Target is doing something right.  Today is a good day, so I'll go with the latter. I frequent the store so much that my eyes are trained to locate the bright clearance stickers. My, my, my!  Target continues to impress me by the week.

I'm sure you're aware of the partnerships they've made with major designers like Isaac Mizrahi and Jean Paul Gualtier (most recent).  Well now they are tapping into the natural haircare market, yall!  I'm not only talking about caring for natural hair.  I'm talking about an entire aisle dedicated to products that contain primarily natural ingredients!  March 28th will be a wonderful day at Target for two reasons - Jane Carter and Miss Jessie!

 

Jane Carter SolutionsJane Carter  Solutions

This woman's story is amazing.  She is a stylist, educator, herbalist and chemist - now business owner.  Her products are natural and are designed for all hair types (relaxed or natural).  I have actually sat in on a few of her calls and let me tell you - this woman knows her stuff!

Her focus is on the overall health of the hair. Her extensive background and experience make her a very credible resource.  This woman's business has grown by using the Internet - no fancy marketing campaigns - the Internet and word of mouth alone.  Now with products featured in a host of magazines, Jane Carter Solutions is definitely a product to try.  It will be available in Target Stores on March 28th. Reviews forthcoming.

Miss Jessie's

Miss Jessie'sNow, if you haven't heard of this product - my oh my where have you been?  Set to arrive in Target stores on March 28th, Miss Jessie's is a product line dedicated to the curly girls out there.  The website contains tutorials on how to use the product, before and after shots and more.

I have actually seen a few queens who swear by this stuff and their hair actually looks fabulous! Needless to say, we'll be testing it out to let you know what we think about it.

So, mark your calendars for March 28th and be sure to check out a Target Store near you!  Kudos Target!

Featured Product

Beautiful Textures: Moisture Butter - Whipped Curl Creme

It was a typical day at the salon and in walks my gorgeous client with a little shopping bag.  I paid it no mind until she spoke.

Client: "Okay, I don't know if this is okay, but I got a new product and wanted your to try it to see what you think."

Me: "Okay, let me take a look." *Flipping over to read label immediately* "Eh, for the most part the ingredients appear to be okay, but there are a few things that are questionable."

Client: "Yeahhhhh..." (She knows me.)

Me: "Let's go for it!"

Packaging

It is really nice.  I've seen the Beautiful Textures line in Sally's and saw the product being used in action at the World Natural Hair Show.  The bright color really makes it stand out and causes a bit on interest.

Fragrance

The product smells heavenly!  It filled my salon with a lovely fragrance.  My mentor stopped in and was taken aback by the amazing fragrance and said that it reminded her of bananas.  It really does smell great!

Jojoba Oil

Deriving from the seed of the jojoba plant, jojoba oil can be found in a number of natural skin and hair care products.  While it is called jojoba oil, it is actually a wax extracted from the seed of the jojoba plant.  The primary reason why it can be found in many hair and skin products is because of its uncanny molecular resemblance to human sebum.

In order to break down the benefits of jojoba oil, it is important to first define a few key terms:

Sebum: Sebum is the ‘natural oil’ that many in the natural hair community fight long and hard to preserve through the use of sulfate-free shampoo and a host or other hair care practices.  Produced by the sebaceous glands, this natural oil (or wax) is designed to coat and protect the hair (and skin) from damage or drying out.  Because of the natural twists and curves of natural hair, the sebum cannot travel the entire length of the hair shaft resulting in dryer hair and a less brilliant sheen.
