Q: I have curly, sometimes frizzy hair. How do I control my curls and enhance them at the same time?

A: First off, curls are beautiful! Taming them is usually the biggest issue. To control and beautify your curly locks, try the Tigi line of curl-enhancing products. Gals from MakeupAlley agree that Tigi products are supreme yet inexpensive.If frizz control and taming flyaways are your primary concerns, Tigi Bedhead Frizz Control Serum may be just the solution.

Q: Should Vitamin E for scars be ingested or applied topically?A: Because pure Vitamin E is an antioxidant, applying it directly to the skin has NO benefit (it may even damage your skin). It is better ingested in a capsule form. The results, when taken internally, are amazing!

—–Q: How do I contour my round face shape?A: Use bronzer, or a shade darker than your normal blush, to contour the hollows of your cheeks. Also, you could style your hair to frame your face (versus wearing it up or behind your ears).

—–Q: How often should I relax my hair?A: I use deep conditioning treatments and wrap my hair at night to maintain relaxed, straight hair for as long as possible. Read this article for more details on that. This way, I usually will not need a new relaxer for up to 12 weeks (although touch-ups for new growth is sometimes necessary).

Q: How can I create a glamourous eye look without looking like a clown or having raccoon eyes (eyeshadow dust under eyes)?A: Choose eyeshadow colors that work well together. Combinations such as gold and olive green, navy and silver, or shimmery black and cranberry are great examples. To avoid “raccoon eyes”, tap your eyeshadow brush or applicator before applying color to rid excess fallout. If you have dark skin, remember to apply eyeliner and mascara to complete your glamourous eye look (otherwise, you will look like a clown).

—–Q: What vitamins or supplements promote healthy hair growth and clear skin?A: You will want to take a supplement with plenty Vitamin B for faster hair and nail growth. For glowing hair and skin, load up on Omega 3, 6, and/or 9. A fish oil or flaxseed supplement will suffice.

My favorite supplement for skin and hair has been fish oil capsules. This makes your hair shiny, makes your skin glow, uplifts your mood, and helps to shed body fat. All that in one supplement? Yep!
