Soon trained hair specialist!

2

Today was the first day with Hårologi's training that I, Jeanette and Miska will take to become trained hairologists :) Hårologi = the doctrine of hair, and is also a Swedish hair care brand with a large selection of hair care products that are tailored to the customer's needs.

Damn how much I've learned today! Did not bring my camera but took some quick pictures with my mobile.

Here I am sitting at Hårologi's head office and waiting for the course to start :)

You hear so much about hair all the time and everywhere you read differently. You should brush your hair when it is dry, you should brush your hair when it is wet, silicones are good, silicones are very bad, you should not use shampoo, you should wash your hair with shampoo several times per wash, this product repairs the hair, it can not repair damaged hair etc. etc.

Much that is said goes against each other, what should one believe in? But now that you understand how the hair is structured and how many factors come into play, you understand everything in a completely different way. And that all answers are not always black or white :) For example, Miska should brush her hair when it is wet, but I should brush my hair when it is dry.

So I have learned an incredible amount today also around Hårologi's own products, things that you will have use for no matter what you use.

Here you see my hair that I would soon test in the test device!

You can not be completely sure of how a hair feels by just looking / feeling it, you also have to test strength and stretchability to know if the hair needs more moisture, or more protein.

It was so incredibly fascinating how much you can see by studying hair and scalp! And it's totally sick how much diet and lifestyle matters. After the test we had to take the device ourselves, the teacher (who did not know that me and Miska were together, we had not kissed or anything) asked if we lived under the same roof, because she saw that we ate the same diet because she saw it on our values. We eat very good food, but I drink too little water, she said. And that's right on the dot!

I have a very sensitive scalp that itches and is very irritated, which I think is mostly due to dry shampoo as it was a sign that it is not washed properly (if you use as much dry shampoo and products as me, you need a more deep cleansing shampoo between coats for to get rid of everything, otherwise bacteria are formed in it) but above all it is because I drink too little water. If you drink a little water, urea comes out of the neck, and it is above all in the neck that I have itching! Disgusting !!! Here it should be washed and drunk hahaha.

course

Now I'm going to go through today's all millions of notes, I'm a real student and always ask questions when I do not understand, but this was so much to keep track of with vitamins, different fats, amino acids, hair structure and everything to think about on with different hair types etc that it was actually really awkward. Should be really interesting with a full day tomorrow as well, then we will also get to go down to the factory where all products are manufactured! Then it will be to study, so that it fits properly, because all this is not something you learn in a quarter I can say :)

In any case, there will probably be more blog posts about hair and hair care in the future, if there is something specific you are thinking about, shout out and I will ask extra about it!

Hope you have a nice Sunday night ♥

All that glitters is gold

Good morning fine ni!

Miska and I are sitting in the car now, and after a quick stop in Uppsala where we will pick up our colleague Jeanette, it's off to Stockholm and Hårologi's head office for a 2-day training! :)

Have any of you tested / used the hair care products from Hårologi?

Will write more about it in another post, now I thought instead of offering some golden makeup inspiration like this on a gray and cozy Sunday. Hope you are inspired!

Both old and new make-up, which is your favorite? :) ♥

Beneco's Nail Care Pen is not part of the range

I and many of you love Benecos Nail Care Pen - the nail oil that comes in a pencil with a brush and is incredibly easy to lubricate the cuticles with and take with you everywhere. We have several customers who buy it regularly and it is one of the products that sells out of conveyor belts with us.

The other day, however, I was told that it is based on beneco's range, super boring!

I have a bunch left in stock but as I said they will disappear completely soon, so just thought to tell you who love it as much as I do, so you can buy a small stock before it runs out :)

The pen costs SEK 89 and is available Byher.se while supplies last!

This cuticle oil is organic and natural and contains, among other things, jojoba oil, almond oil, coconut oil, shea butter, chamomile and vitamins E and F, which together moisturize, repair, care for, protect and soothe dry and irritated cuticles.

The pen is great if you want to get into the routine of quickly lubricating the cuticles. The consistency is an oily cream (not runny) and it goes quickly into the skin so you can use it even though you have to do things with your hands immediately afterwards.

Leave the pen next to the computer / bed / TV and always have one in your purse too!

Flexible, caring, lovely, natural and both practical and affordable. Will miss it! ♥

Turquoise Makeup

Today's make-up is a turquoise make-up with a big T! Love the turquoise neon color from Paese Neo eyeshadow, so fine!

It was a pretty extreme cut crease look, so much fun to do I think :) Hope you like it too.

Makeup consultation teenager

Last week I had two make-up consultations that came here at the same time - a mother and a daughter who both usually fix their eyebrows and lashes here at the salon :)

Super fun with a mom-daughter course!

This is how we made up our daughter:

make-up course sale

Lots of redness on the cheeks, quite dry lips, and wanted a make-up that works for parties but is very easy to do as she never uses eye shadows.

I chose a golden make-up with a lot of shimmer - festive and yet bright and down to earth so you feel easily comfortable in it even if you never use eye shadows otherwise. In addition, it highlights her blue eyes very nicely!

At the base, we opted for a natural look that conjured away all redness, and a colored lip balm that highlights her beautiful lips while being incredibly caring.

I have used these products:

Face:
Face primer - Paese makeup base (Smoothing)
Foundation - Pixi H2O skintint (1 cream)
Powders that neutralize red areas - gloMinerals redness relief powder
Contouring - Pixi Book of beauty Contour Creator Palette
Rouge - gloMinerals blush (Papaya)
Makeup Fixing mist - Pixi makeup fixing mist

Eyebrows - Pixi Duo Brow (Deep Brunette, but was very light on the hand so it did not get as dark as it can get)
Lips - Pixi shea butter lip balm (Honey Nectar)

Eyes:
Eyeshadow Primer - Pixi eye bright primer
Light eyeliner along the waterline - Benecos White natural kajal
Eyeshadows (White and Gold) - Star White & Rose Gold from Yag Minerals Eyeshadow
Lashliner - Paese cashmere eyeshadow (602)
Mascara - Magnetic lash mascara

On the eyes we put a golden shadow on the eyelid and around the whole eye, and dabbed a white shadow in the middle of the eyelid and in the corner of the eye for an illuminating effect. Incredibly fast and easy make-up, but very nice :)

Shout out if you have any questions! ♥
