In a Hairy Situation?

Color by Tina Harrisonis the solution to your situation! One of the best colorist in Texas is right here in Dallas and has just opened her own Color Suite! Tina has been a color specialist for over 15 years and when we say specialist we mean SPECIAList! DISH is soooo used to people not knowing how to do blonde. They over bleach huge chunky streaks then use a "toner" which translates to ..We are breaking the base because we just over bleached these really awful streaks into your head and we have to try to fix it now...

Tina takes the thinnest bits of hair and uses at least 3 colors and never breaks the base! She fits the best color to your skin tone and your natural color so you don't have the same color of blonde that everyone else has as well.

DISH had the wonderful opportunity to grow up with Ms. Harrison since childhood however we went to her for color after our photo showed up in a local glossy with 5 other blondes and we were all the SAME COLOR!!! AWFUL!!!

That has never happened again nor will it because we will never go to anyone but Color by Tina Harrison ever again and neither should you!

Blessings and Beauty to you DISHIES!

Cin's Skin Care Secrets!

Cin's Skin Secrets
 
 
            Moisturizing your skin daily is a myth created by hungry retailers.  If you live in a humid climate, such as Houston, you should exfoliate your skin three times a week, and only moisturize the dry patches. That way your own beautiful moisture can shine through pores that can breathe.  This gives your skin a radiant glow.  Rather than use a highly marketed product found in a department or drug store, you should opt for the "natural, organic" ones.  These would be food-grade without chemicals or preservatives. I moisturize my skin with sweet almond oil, coconut oil, flax-seed, or grape-seed oil. I make sure my products have certified organic seals on them.
  I touch the dry areas such as the sides of my nose, my hands, the top of my eye-brows with a natural oil.  I exfoliate my skin three times a week in the shower with gentle circles from a natural bristle brush, or a mixture of 3 tbsp. of ground oatmeal with a tsp. of fresh grapefruit juice.  Rarely a day does not pass, when someone does not compliment my skin.  I tone it with a mixture of 8 parts spring water, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp. Bragg's apple cider vinegar.  It is also a good idea to avoid synthetic colors and fragrances added to products, these can be carcinogenic and lead to dizziness.
 Here are 5 synthetic cosmetic ingredients to avoid on hair and epidermal products.They are as follows:
1. Methyl, Propyl, Butyl and Ethyl Paraben-- these can be toxic and contribute to skin cancer as well as rashes.
2. Diethanolamine (DEA) and Triethanolamine (TEA).  These chemicals release formaldehyde.
3. Sodium Lauryl and Laureath Sulfate -- this is an inexpensive detergent that causes allergic reactions
4. Petrolatum-- it surface dries your skin and clogs the pores-- it is found in Johnson's Baby oil and Vaseline.
5. PVP/VA Copolymer-a petroleum-derived chemical used in hairsprays, inhaled particles can damage the lungs.
    We all need to do our part to have a safe, healthy body, mind, spirit, and environment

D-Stat

The product above was developed by a Dallas hairdresser Tanya Carpenter and it is one of DISH'S favorite hair products ever created!! Here is Tanya...

Who Is Tanya Carpenter?

Tanya built a successful career in the world of fashion, styling hair for editorial and commercial photo shoots, runway shows, films, and television. But her passion has always been working with clients in the salon. After five years on the road, she decided to focus exclusively on her private clients. Tanya is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, where she has had a fiercely devoted following for more than fifteen years.

“It’s amazing to work gorgeous professionals, creating art with a talented team, but there’s nothing more rewarding than watching a nonprofessional beauty walk out of the salon feeling confident and looking her absolute best,” says Tanya.

Her years of experience inspired Tanya to create DStat, but its her boundless energy and a strong entrepreneurial streak that have taken DStat from bright idea to must-have status. For Tanya, this is only the beginning. She founded Tancar, LLC to create many more innovative products that fill unmet needs in the beauty industry. An entire collection of DStat hair products, containing her proprietary antistatic formula, is in development now.

There’s no telling what Tanya will think of next, but one thing’s for sure. It will be something that makes the world more beautiful.

 

DON'T YOU LOVE HER!! AND her product!

DStat™ Static Relief Hair Spritz. It’s the first and only hairspray that eliminates static electricity – instantly. A little spritz here, a little spritz there, and – voilà – goodbye electric hair! DStat™ turns tresses into a silky smooth halo of luscious shimmer. DISH uses it everyday and our hair is GORGEOUS! Thank you Tanya!

Beauty DISH - DISH Alert!

DISH contributer Fran Drescher islaunching a line of organic, paraben-free skincare products exclusively with HSN this fall. The Delicious actress/cancer survivor's nine-piece collection, dubbed FranBrand, will comprise a cleanser, gel toner (yes that means no more cotton balls!), day lotion, eye gel, night eye cream, night face cream, body moisturizer, face serum, and lip balm. DISH is especially excited about the lip balm, we love our lippies!

Drescher, a uterine cancer survivor and founder of the cancer nonprofit Cancer Schmancer, worked for more than a year with a chemist in California and an organic manufacturing plant in Oregon to develop the products.

"Women are schmearing stuff on their décolleté, wondering why we're all getting breast cancer. Once you wake up and smell the coffee, it's hard to go back to sleep. So I'm sounding the alarm," Drescher told The Cut. "I couldn't possibly sell something that wasn't good for me. I'm still in therapy because I put other people's needs above myself."

Don't think everyone's favorite tv nanny is twiddling her thumbs until Nov. 10, when FranBrand is officially launched! OOOOH NO! Drescher will continue to represent the U.S. State Department as a public-diplomacy envoy for women's health issues.

She's a DISH contributer for a reason! She has style, she has flair and she's HERE!!!!That's why she's called a DISHIE!!!
