Jheri Redding, an Illinois farm boy who founded four hair care products companies, revolutionized the economics of the hair salon industry and changed the way much larger companies market shampoos, died in 1998 at the age of 91. He had retired from active involvement with the company in 1991. Jheri Redding was the first to make “pH balanced” shampoos that match the mild acidity of human skin, to put vitamins in hair are products and to market added minerals, pitching the supposed benefits of these additives with evangelistic fervor at the conventions of hair salon owners, some of who he helped become millionaires by marketing his products.

A bride’s hair should compliment her wedding gown, not compete with it. The formality of your outfit is key and should dictate the direction you go with your hair. For a chic modern ensemble like a pant suit or a simply cut dress, either slick back your hair or wear it in a sleek blow-out. For country wedding type looks - peasant dresses, high-waisted dresses or any other period-influenced cut - either wear your hair loose in curls down or partially put up. Big ball gowns are complimented best with more dramatic updos.

Clients ask stylists what they should do different with their makeup as the aging scale rises. Too much makeup always makes us look older, no matter how proficiently it is applied. When in doubt, always err on the side of “less is more.” Beauty dims when displayed on a poorly maintained canvas, or in this case, dermis. Fortunately, radiant skin is attainable at any age. Weekly facial exfoliators, hydrating moisturizers and UV protectors are the holy trinity of skin care at any age. Do not use heavy powder because it sinks into creases, so opt for a light cream or liquid base then a little powder for a great finished look.

Kate Shapland is a beauty writer for the Telegraph in the UK and I got a kick out of what she wrote for the worst beauty products and trends for 2011. She states: I love creativity in makeup-give me an edgy take on a conventional French manicure with bright dipped tips any day, but magnetic or crackle-finish in drudgey shades of puke colors is a not so cool thing.
