Davines + The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation - Sustainable Beauty Day
Sustainable Beauty Day calls for salons that are closed on Mondays to open their doors on June 20, 2011 and offer their clients cut and styling services free of charge. Each client will be encouraged to make a $15 minimum donation for the service and 100% of the proceeds will benefit The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation. Davines and The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation strive to raise $20,000 to fund a new fruit tree planting initiative called Sustainabilitree in the Sofala Province of Mozambique, Africa. Sustainabilitree stands to alleviate world hunger, combat global warming, strengthen communities, and improve the surrounding air, soil, and water quality.
So on Monday, June 20th, consumers will be able to go into select salons and receive cut and styling services for a minimum donation of at least $15. 100% of the donations will benefit impoverished communities in Africa through the planting of fruit trees.

Hair Record! Most haircuts in 8 hrs
Cricket Company had its cable TV close-up! As the hair sponsor for "Jerseylicious" on My Style Network, Cricket's shears, aprons and hot tools were used by the energetic and eye-catching team of stylists in every scene at Gatsby Salon.
In the season premiere of "Jerseylicious" on Sunday May 15, the Gatsby Salon did a Cut-athon to break the Guinness Book of World Records for most quality haircuts in eight hours. The previous record was 201 and they shattered it by doing 246. The stylists depended on quality tools from Cricket Company including Centrix Q-Zone Dryers, Friction Free Slim and Sleek Irons, Silkombs, Carbon Combs, Technique and Friction Free Brushes, AmpedUp Teasing brushes, Centrix M-Series Shears, and stylish Zebra and Leopard capes to help clients look their best.

Mixed Chicks vs Mixed Silk
Let the hair battle begin! Mixed Chicks is not happy with Sally's brand Mixed Silk. You know how Sally's is always creating their own brands and products based on popular "name brand" stuff? Well, this time they copied Mixed Chicks and they ain't having it!
Mixed Chicks LLC, maker of the well-known MIXED CHICKS® line of high-quality hair care products for individuals of mixed race or with curly hair, filed suit March 22, 2011 against Sally Beauty Supply LLC. In the lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Mixed Chicks claims that Sally Beauty Supply and the other defendants are infringing on the MIXED CHICKS® trademark and the overall distinctive appearance of Mixed Chicks’ hair care products.
In the complaint, Mixed Chicks alleges that “Mixed Silk” products sold in Sally Beauty Supply stores infringe the distinctive trade dress of Mixed Chicks’ products, as well as the MIXED CHICKS® trademark. Mixed Chicks also alleges that Sally Beauty Supply uses the MIXED CHICKS® trademark on its web page search engine to direct consumers to Sally Beauty Supply’s infringing products. Mixed Chicks seeks damages and a permanent injunction from the court preventing Sally Beauty Supply from infringing the MIXED CHICKS® trademark and from using an overall appearance that is confusingly similar to that of Mixed Chicks’ Shampoo, Deep Conditioner, and Leave-In Conditioner. Mixed Chicks also seeks trebling of damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disgorgement of illegal profits from the sale of infringing products, and punitive damages in the complaint.
In connection with the lawsuit, Kim Etheredge, one founder and principal of Mixed Chicks, states: “We’ve worked hard to build the reputation of the Mixed Chicks product as one of high quality. We want our clients to know that the ‘Mixed Silk’ products have no connection with our products, and Mixed Chicks has not endorsed or authorized them. We will protect our brand whenever it’s necessary and appropriate.”
What do you think? Have you tried Mixed Silk?
Work Out Shampoo + Conditioner
Just a quick note to let you guys know that I have been working out lately! At New York Sports Club and the local one I visit has great shampoo and conditioner. Well, okay maybe it's not great by at home standards, but it's great for gym standards. The Lavender shampoo thoroughly cleansed my scalp and hair, leaving a great scent in the tiny shower stall all without stripping the moisture from my hair. The conditioner was in a huge bottle so I just used as much as I wanted to soften up and detangle my hair, it worked great and had a moderate amount of slip. My hair was easily detangled! After that I towel dried my hair a little bit added in my own conditioner from home and hopped in the steam room.
Moral of the story? Try out the supplies at the gym, they might not be as bad as you think. Plus, if you are paying for a membership use everything ... the sauna, steam room, towel service, etc. Oh and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wear flip flops and don't put your bare butt on any surface without laying a clean towel down first. You might think this is common sense but ... trust me - it's not!
Hair Read: Lorraine Massey's Curly Girl
Lorraine Massey's new book, Curly Girl is a great read for anyone who is natural, going natural, has a curly child, or is just curious about curly hair. The book serves as a guide and a support group for ALL curlies, women, children, parents, and men! I was impressed with the wealth of information on not only type 1-3 but type 4 curls as well, from washing and conditioning, to styling, to cutting, and everything else in between. The book also comes with a DVD, which I actually haven't had a chance to check out yet.
Check it out for yourself.
Serena Williams is Dead ... Sort of
I like the idea of the Keep a Child Alive campaign but it's all a bit morbid don't you think? In attempts to raise money for charity a bunch of celebs will be logging off their social media accounts and playing dead "socially", meaning they will not sign back on until $1 million has been raised for Alicia Keys' Keep A Child Alive cause.
Happy Turkey Day
Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family or whatever you choose to do, but take a moment and think of something that you are thankful for! Then eat up!
