Sun, Heat and Humidity -
How to protect your hair

As the summer sun heats up you may notice your hair changing and not usually for the better. The sun will dry your hair texture and the the humidity will make it much fuller for thick coarse hair and limper for thin hair. A good summer humidity product is the Sleek.Look set which includes shampoo, conditioner and gel. When you come in and purchase the Sleek.Look set of shampoo, conditioner and gel you will get a Free professional flat iron, all for $33.85.

If you color your hair you have to watch out for fading. You should always use a product with UV protection such as Biolage Daily leave-In Tonic, Amplify Instant Conditioner or Matrix Essentials Instacure.

Know the rules for Chlorine and Color
Either Sink or Swim

Oil and water don't mix and neither does bleached blonde hair and chlorine. The chlorinated water in pools can turn blonde-colored hair greenish - not a pretty sight to say the least. So what can you do to swim carefree? Purchase products that protect your hair from chlorine before heading out to the pool, wet hair under the shower and coat with a special leave-in UV conditioner. This acts as a barrier against both chlorine and the sun's harsh rays. Be sure to rinse hair out in clean water immediately after swimming. Use a shampoo especially formulated to remove chlorine from your hair such as Matrix Essentials Alternate Action Shampoo. This will work to take the chlorine out as well as prevent it from turning green.

Bibo Salon Tips

Q. I am always at a loss to determine what eye shadows to choose. Can you describe the Bibo eye shadow shades to me?

A. It is always easier to look at eye shadows by groups. By looking at shades from these guidelines, you can make combining much easier.

neutrals
Wish - A soft matte ivory with an alabaster finish.
Hope - A warmer cream with a matte finish.
Peek - A touch of shimmer gives this peach tone a rich finish.
Adore - A mauve based pale pink with a slight shimmer finish.
Glimmer - A high shimmer gold with warm peach undertones.

medium/bridge tones
We call these bridge tones because they can be used as your contour shade, or as the blending shade when combining a lighter and deeper tone for a more dramatic look.

Swing - A matte tan with a touch of rosy peach.
Frolic - A khaki tone with olive undertones, this shade really brings out the green in both hazel and green eyes.
Cherish - A true taupe that works as a great basic, and a wonderful eye brow color for all skin tones.
