This dual toned hairstyle by @ hairbyduhsavannah is great if you want to combine another color, like silver, with your pink look. If you'd rather skip another color addition, you could also just ask your stylist to add pink to your tips; a bonus by doing this is being able to cut it off whenever you want to go back to a natural colored look.

This makeover by @amburgerofhair is so gorgeous, it reminds me of one of my favorite flowers, the bird of paradise. Doesn't this pink makeover make you want to pair it with a flowy white summer dress and show it off by the poolside restaurant during a summer vacation getaway? I guarantee this hairstyle will strike up conversation with those around you, wherever you decide to go!

If what you're looking for is a dramatic pink haired transformation, then look no more because @samirasjewelry has you covered! The pastel pink color is wonderfully paired with black accessories that rope all around the hair. I'm certain that the attention to detail in this look will make anyone a pink braided fan.

Pink Pixie Bob

Another way you can have fun with your new pink hairstyle is to request a modern and short haircut to go with it! This color melt pixie bob by @spaceytekknicolor is just gorgeous, I'm obsessed with the placement of the yellow tones and how well they frame the face. The purple addition to the roots also make the pink tones stand out more and I am here for it!

Neon Pink Galaxy

A post shared by Winnipeg, Canada Pulp Riot (@hairbymisskellyo) on Jun 4, 2019 at 7:18am PDT

Neon pink hair is another option to choose from; the vivid tone of this look will ensure your friends and family never lose you in a crowd ever again, so that's another perk to this look by @hairbymisskellyo The little hints of rainbow colors throughout the hair is awesome and those waves are giving me mermaid vibes that I can't ignore.

Get More Green: Reduce Your Beauty Carbon Footprint

Help The Environment Through Your Beauty Routine With These Tips

Woman Surrounded By Flowers | ISA Professional

Do you know what your carbon footprint is? It’s not an intriguing new pedicure system, sadly: it's actually the amount of carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) released due to the fossil fuels used to produce the products and services that you use. For those trying to be environmentally conscious, one of the first steps is figuring out ways to minimize your personal carbon footprint. You can do this by carpooling (or taking public transportation), eating locally-sourced foods, and potentially changing up your beauty routine (among other things).

How can you reduce your beauty carbon footprint? I’m glad you asked, because we’ve got five strategies to share with you!

Research Your Brands

The first thing you can do is to educate yourself on the beauty products that you use - and how they’re produced. Look for brands that use sustainably-sourced ingredients and are open about their production cycle. Pay attention to products that are identified as eco-friendly or organic, and look into whether their ingredients match those descriptions - less processing means less manufacturing by-products means a potential improvement to the planet. You may discover that your faves are problematic, but it’s better to know and change your habits: being environmentally conscious is about being a responsible citizen on planet Earth. You know, like Superman. Be like Superman.

Pay Attention to Packaging

We've probably all seen videos of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and felt horrified at all the plastic we're throwing into our oceans. Hopefully, that’s inspired us to find ways to use less plastic (and other items difficult to dispose of) in our homes. Packaging can be one of the worst offenders producing wasted plastics, which makes it important for you to pay attention to how much is used in your beauty products. Look for beauty products that use recyclable materials or are identified as made from 100% post-consumer content. Avoid those brands with a lot of fancy and unnecessary packaging - no matter how Instagrammable it is.

Buy Less Stuff

Be honest: do you really need ALL the beauty products cluttering your cabinets and counter space right now? Make like an Old Spice commercial and look at your beauty products, now back to me - the answer is probably no. Another easy way to reduce your beauty carbon footprint is simply by buying less stuff. Consolidate products - choose those that have multiple applications, like argan oil for a natural skin moisturizer and a styling material to make your hair shiny and more manageable. Also, forego buying multiple products that serve the same purpose and keep your beauty routine simple. Practicing this habit can also help you actually use all the beauty products you buy and save you money.

Use Less Water

Hot water can be another significant source for carbon dioxide emissions, which means using less of it can help reduce your carbon footprint. Do the common sense things to use less water in general and less hot water specifically: turn the water off while you're brushing your teeth, and see how many loads of laundry you can do on the cold wash cycle. You can also take showers regularly instead of baths, and make sure that you’re quick about it - you don’t have to be the Flash, but you should be economical. Consider only shampooing your hair a couple of times a week: washing it too often can strip your hair’s natural oils, whereas giving the shampoo a miss once a week can stretch your supply of hair products and reduce hot water usage.

Go Natural

Beauty Product Made With Natural Ingredients | ISA Professional
Sometimes, the answer is less chemicals. Instead of using the same big brand, big lab go-tos, consider searching out eco-friendly brands that embrace natural ingredients - or use everyday items you already have at home. I mentioned argan oil above - it’s not only great for your hair and your skin, but can also be used as a nail treatment and hair conditioner. You can use honey as a conditioner after shampooing your hair as well. Use a beeswax lip balm to lock in moisture on your lips. A little bit of sugar can be used as a lip scrub. Get creative with your research and routine, and you’ll have a smaller carbon footprint in no time.

Skin Care And Hair Care To Go: Tips To Look Your Best While Traveling

Follow These Tips For A Hassle Free Summer Trip To Remember

Woman Enjoying The Sunshine | ISA Professional

Summer vacation is fast upon us, and we can’t wait for colorful swimwear, cocktails with little umbrellas, and wandering through balmy evenings in fresh destinations.

Of course, getting to these relaxing summer destinations involves summer vacation’s evil twin: summer travel. Wondering how to pack all your necessities and keep yourself fresh while traveling? We know it can feel impossible, but it’s not. Just follow our handy tips below.

How to Pack Efficiently

No matter how many beauty products you think you can’t live without, you can’t take the entire bathroom counter with you when traveling. But that’s okay! We have a few simple tips that’ll help you pack the necessities and leave room to pick up new products at your destination—in case you’re traveling somewhere with a great beauty culture, like South Korea.

First, focus on your core beauty routine and a few simple makeup looks that don’t require heavy application or frequent touch-ups. Keep in mind that heavy makeup doesn’t necessarily travel well and worrying about it can make traveling more high-maintenance than it needs to be. Choose solids over aerosols in all your products for the trip and, if you’re traveling in the US, remember the 3-1-1 rule: you’re only allowed to pack a single one-quart transparent plastic bag of liquids and gels in containers measuring three ounces or less.

Instead of taking full-size products with you, choose travel sizes—you can pick up sample sizes of many products at your preferred stores or you can get some miniature plastic bottles and decant your favorite products into them for your trip.

Make sure you put all your essentials in your carry-on so you can freshen up on the go.

How to Pack Your ISA Hair Straightener

Wondering if you can travel with your favorite ISA Professional hair straightener? You can! According to the TSA, flat irons are permissible in both checked and carry-on luggage. Just wrap it securely—you could even roll it up in some of your packed clothing—and make sure it's not in a position to get bashed around when the baggage handlers are less than gentle with your luggage.

You should also check the plug shape (and number of plug prongs) used at your destination: you may need to get a travel adapter in order to use your styling tool if you’re traveling abroad. And don’t forget to allow plenty of time for your hair straightener to cool down before you pack it.

How to Freshen Up in Transit

Are you worried about how you can look your best when you’re going to be traveling by car or plane for hours? Don’t sweat it! With a little planning, you can arrange to have all the essentials ready in your purse or carry-on and have a mini-spa routine right in your seat or the airport bathroom.

Makeup removing and cleansing towelettes are your best friends here. Don’t forget to pack something with solid SPF protection, too. Keep your makeup while traveling super simple, or don’t wear any at all—if traveling stresses out your skin, you want to keep it light, fresh, and appropriately moisturized. Choose versatile products that serve multiple purposes in your beauty routine: for example, you can pack our organic cold-pressed argan oil and use it as a moisturizer for your skin and a hair treatment.

Just be courteous to your fellow travelers and don’t apply any scents while on the plane.

How to Refresh Your Hair in Transit

Woman With Braided Hairstyle | ISA Professional
When it comes to keeping your hair looking fresh while you’re traveling, it’s more in how you style than what you use to style: learn how to embrace hairstyles that look good even when they’re a little messy. Teach yourself how to braid your hair, learn how to throw your hair up in a bun, or bring head wraps or a hat. Each of these options can keep your hair out of your face, aren’t uncomfortable for long-term wear, and disguise the fact you haven’t had time to wash your hair on long travel days.

When you really do need that shower but have no time, make sure you pack dry shampoo. This product can really rescue your self-confidence, and is easy to shake into your hair then shake right out in a handy bathroom while you’re traveling.

Take Care of Your Body

Mixed Nuts For Healthy Snacking | ISA Professional
Of course, how you look while traveling will also depend on how you feel—and you won’t feel great if you’re not taking care of your body. Make sure you stay hydrated while traveling, especially if you’re indulging in a couple of cocktails on your flight. Hydration is important to healthy skin, healthy hair, and a healthy you.

Try to avoid eating fast food or unhealthy snacks in transit as well. It may feel easier to grab something cheap and greasy, but it may lead to breakouts or digestive issues. You don’t want to deal with either of those on a long trip! Try to choose fresh fruit, natural energy bars, nuts, and similar snacks.

There—now you’re prepared for all your summer travel plans. Plan the perfect trip and don’t sweat the small stuff. Have a favorite packing trick or tip we haven’t shared here? Drop into the comments and share it with us!

5 Eye Shadow Looks For Adventurous Souls

Stuck In a Makeup Rut? Try These 5 Bold Eye Shadow Looks

Woman Applying Makeup In The Mirror | ISA Professional

I believe we all have our go-to makeup look that we gravitate towards when we don't want to think too much before going out. I know I have my everyday look down perfectly: I confess that neutral shades in my eye shadow inventory are necessity but what if I felt like I wanted to see myself look different? I see so many video makeup tutorials where these extremely talented girls transform themselves with makeup, making my everyday style look good, yes, but safe. I would admire their skills but feel intimidated to try them out on myself, after all, like most people, I'm completely self taught. Then, I realized that I don't need makeup classes if I just put my mind to it and follow these lovely makeup gurus' advice. They record themselves to help girls like us get a clue of where the dark shades go and where to never, ever apply glitter. I got inspired and decided to choose five different makeup artists whose eye shadow looks I could imitate. Even though I'm no pro, I know that practice is the only way to elevate my bolder looks, and try I will! Are you also feeling like you're in a makeup rut? Which of these adventurous looks will you practice perfecting?

Textured Tricolor Eye Look

A post shared by Alexya Mayoral 🌙 (@alexyamayoral) on May 8, 2019 at 12:14pm PDT

Glitter in eye looks are best when they're applied on the lids, blending it into the crease to help it look flawless. This tricolored look by @alexyamayoral is bold thanks to her perfect blending work and I just think it's genius how she used textured glitter exclusively in the middle of the lid; it really gives this look depth.

Pop Of Neon Eye Look

A post shared by Mariz_GMua💋👑🌙 (@mariz_garcia1) on Mar 25, 2019 at 1:39pm PDT

Bright colors can feel a little scary to try out; you've probably seen other girls with colorful eye looks and loved how it looked but trying it on yourself is another matter. I say, forget your fears and just jump into the bold, neon eye trend already; you'll look amazing, too! @mariz_garcia1 used a beautiful neon green on the lids and blended a peacock blue hue on the creases, making this an eye look perfect for stopping others in their tracks!

Soft Sunset Eye Look

A post shared by Lindsey Vonsur (@shadowplay_mua) on Aug 5, 2018 at 8:39am PDT

So you've decided to go with a bold eye shadow look but can't make up your mind on your color palette choice? No worries, @shadowplay_mua has you covered with this beautiful sunset inspired look. It will take practice to get that blending down but just look at it, it will be worth every second.

Colorful Smokey Eye Look

A post shared by Joanna Hejnat Makeup 💫💕 (@_joanh) on Mar 8, 2019 at 8:40am PST

If you're feeling like rocking a cat eye without the need of eyeliner, then this look by @_joanh is perfect! The eye shadow placement and shimmer are completely on point and those lovely, long lashes can only be rocked by the boldest.

Minimalist Rainbow Eye Look

A post shared by E L L A G R A Y (@el_makeupxx) on May 21, 2019 at 11:28am PDT

Are you more of a minimalist kind of girl that wants an eye look that's different but doesn't require large amounts of time blending? This eye look by @el_makeupxx doesn't require eye shadow but does require some skill with eyeliner. It's awesome how the rainbow colors come together into a winged effect and using the same technique on the brows is a fun touch

5 Bridal Updos Perfect For Your Special Day

Keep Your Hair Off Your Face With These Gorgeous Updos

Beautiful Bride On Her Wedding Day | ISA Professional

May is one of the most popular months to get married in, thanks to its warmer weather and the gorgeous flowers that grow during the season. Seeing so many online posts on wedding seasons and outdoor venue options made me think of all the excitement and planning that goes into making your special day one to truly remember. Even though the location is very important, I think most of us can agree that the wedding dress and the hair are tied for the top spot of the to-do checklist. You may prefer a simple dress or maybe you're going with a intricate gown but what should you do with your hair? Picking a wedding dress is much easier than finding the perfect hairstyle (believe me, I know from experience.) But no worries, I have your back! I think you'll be pleased with these gorgeous updos I've found that'll keep your hair off your face as you dance and enjoy your wedding from beginning to end.

Curled Updo

A post shared by ※ BRIDAL HAIR ※ by SARA (@hairspray_studio) on Apr 16, 2019 at 6:00am PDT

This pink hairstyle is perfect for anyone that wants movement in their look and I have to say, @hairspray_studio nailed it with those rose shaped curls coming together in at the nape of the neck. I can see this bride going to a beach wedding, with all eyes on her as she makes her entrance.

Twisted Updo

A post shared by Sarah YEG (@sugarskullsbysarah) on Mar 24, 2019 at 8:52am PDT

It's incredible how twisting sections of the hair can come together so perfectly and @sugarskullsbysarah just makes it look so effortless (even though it is anything but!). I love how she used a beaded hairpiece to add an extra touch to this bride's look and that purple hair color really makes it pop.

Laced Up Updo

A post shared by Anastasia Pavlova (@hair_pavlova) on May 12, 2019 at 9:34am PDT

Feeling the heat from trying to find a hairpiece that won't break the bank but that will still look pretty and chic? Check out how @hair_pavlova used a simple ribbon to create a braided updo any bride would be proud to show off. I especially love how she added a high bun to the whole look; this hairstyle just keeps on giving!

Sky High Ponytail

A post shared by ☀️Татьяна Михайлова☀️ (@tatistylespb) on Apr 13, 2019 at 7:48am PDT

If you're looking for a hairstyle that will show off your hard earned long hair, there's no better choice than a ponytail. But not just any ponytail, I'm talking a pony fit for a bride and this voluminous one by @tatistylespd is perfection. By braiding the hair on the sides, she ensures the teased ponytail stays the main attraction. I'm seriously in love.

Messy But Well-Planned Updo

A post shared by Стилист 🔝Марина Мачихина 🔝 (@vip_stylist_32) on Aug 28, 2018 at 1:51am PDT

This is a soft and romantic look, ideal for brides that want to look flawless without having to sit in a chair for hours. With talented hands like @vip_stylist_32, you have nothing to worry about; she knows exactly how to create and secure it, so you don't have to worry about your hair getting in the way of your new spouse's kisses.
