The Power of Honey

Well I've decided that I would wear my hair straight this month. My goal is to give it a break from the daily wear and tear of shingling. I went back to an old staple, honey pre poo's, I was a little skeptical because I didn't want my hair to retain too much moisture and cause frizz. Honey is a humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the air to your hair. One of the ingredients for healthy hair and easy flat ironing is....Moisture! When your hair has a great balance of protein and moisture you don't have to pass the flat iron over your hair multiple times which can lead to damage.
It's been 3 days and I've been in some very hot places and my hair has yet to revert! I simply applied honey to towel dried hair, let it sit for 40 minutes, rinsed then continued my regular wash regimen. Have fun add oils to it like Coconut oil (hair growth) or Jojoba oil (shine & damage repair). It doesn't weigh your hair down which makes it ideal for most hair types!
Grab a bottle and give it a try!!!!

Let’s talk about the Honey shoot, you coming in and seeing all those crazy clothes that you fell in love with. How was your experience shooting with us?
It was amazing. You guys had the best energy of a shoot to me — I was just talking about it last night on Twitter. I really admire and study and respect the brilliance of fashion. I don’t live, breathe, eat, drink and depend on fashion to be more than what it is. I think when you have that frame of mind you really can go there. You really have no resignations about putting looks together that are just fun and fearless and that’s what you guys provided and allowed me to do so I was really happy.

Good. Who’s closet would you raid if you had the chance to do it?
Probably Björk. It would be a tie between her and Grace [Jones], but I think I’d have to go with Björk because over the years there have been so many different phases and extremes and color. I am a person who loves color and I think it’s the most beautiful backdrop for life.

You talked a little bit about your stages for fashion and philosophy but what would you say this stage is in your style evolution? What are you looking toward for spring 2010?

I think right now, I’m learning how to incorporate completely different extremes as to my last record, it was just like an overstimulation of extremes, which I love. Now, I’m learning how to have one more simple extreme or one more statement extreme, and learning how to blend those together. But you probably will still see me rocking animal print as I did the other day. Someone cracked up laughing and was like ‘Where the hell do you think you’re going with flannel, leopard and stripes?’ I was like ‘I’m going to tackle my day.’
