Is it time for a haircut? Are you not quite sure? Well, Riccardo Maggiore, renowned hairstylists and owner of Maggiore Salon in New York City has all the telltale signs on whether or not it’s time to redo your ’do.
Sign #1: Your hair has no volume. If your hair is beginning to look flat, dull, boring—it’s time to take action! Hair without volume doesn’t frame the face or enhance your natural, gorgeous features.
Sign #2: Hair color matches your skin tone. You’ve probably over-processed your hair color. You never want hair to match your skin tone exactly—it will completely wash you out! A quick makeover fix would be to add lowlights to give hair dimension and contrast.
Sign #3: You’re starting to resemble a broom due to split ends! If you’re having a major split end problem, your hair is probably very dry and brittle. To bring hair back to life, you’ll need a deep conditioning treatment and haircut!
Sign #4: You pull your hair into a ponytail all the time. An occasional ponytail is fine, but if you find yourself pulling it back all the time, that’s no fun! You should want to show off your gorgeous locks, if you don’t, you’re probably in a hair rut. A fresh haircut, layers or bangs—something to add movement and bounce—will have you more eager to wear it down.
Sign #5: You’re not receiving compliments on your hair anymore! If your closest friends and family don’t even have anything to say, it’s definitely time for a hair makeover.
Sign #6: You’re in a cookie-cutter crisis! Have you been treating your tresses at home with the same products since middle school? Is your hair looking blah versus ooh la la? Seek professional help! Have an expert stylist examine your tresses, create a customized treatment, and create a list of “must have” products, perfect for your hair.
The easiest way to keep current? Start with a precise, versatile haircut, then adjust your texture and color as often as you like!
If you are in need of a new haircut, contact Rizzieri Aveda School at 856-988-8600 x0 to get great hair services at affordable prices! You can check out the full selection of services through our website at www.rizzierischools.com.

Hair extensions can completely transform your look in just a few hours. Are you considering getting extensions? Want to know the differences between human and synthetic extensions? Read on.
Human Hair
One-hundred-percent human hair extensions are as close as you can get to natural hair. “There are different levels available depending on the processing it goes through,” says hair-extension expert Shelia Stotts. Non-remy hair is the cheapest and is processed with products to make it shiny. “By the sixth wash or so, the coating has washed away, and they look stringy,” she says. Remy hair, on the other hand, still has the cuticle intact, which gives a more natural look. Remy hair extensions are usually sourced from virgin hair from India or China. Human hair extensions look more realistic and can be cut, colored and styled as desired but they can also be expensive and heavy.
Synthetic Hair
Cheaper than human hair, artificial hair doesn’t look nearly as natural because of the bulky quality “and because it lacks the fluid motion of real hair. Although technologies have evolved, and some synthetic hair can be heated to retain styles, “they still don’t breath like human hair and can get hard and crunchy from styling products and tools,” says Stotts. Synthetic hair is less costly than human hair and good for testing out what you would look like with extensions. However, this option doesn’t look as natural as human hair and doesn’t blend as well. Additionally, these extensions tangle easily and will break if they are cut or burn if colored or styled with heat.

Dealing with persistently oily skin can be a nuisance. These insider tips can help keep your skin shine-free.
• Mattifying lotions and anti-shine powders and gels can keep skin less oily, but they only address surface oil and don’t reach far enough into the skin to work directly on the sebaceous glands.
• The most effective way of keeping oil production under control is with betahydroxy acids, like salicylic acid, and oral doses of vitamin A, which slow down activity in the oil glands. “Vitamin A, also known as isotretinoin, cuts oil by decreasing the size of the oil gland,” says Miami dermatologist Janice Lima-Maribona, MD.
• The worst thing to do to an oily complexion is over dry it, which forces the skin to make more oil to compensate what it’s lacking.
• Some doctors are injecting the pores with Botox to temporarily decrease oil production.
• As of now, there’s no proven way to permanently reduce oil production or shrink the size of the sebaceous glands although antioxidants can help prevent oxidation of the skin and its cells.

Yesterday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced new requirements for over-the-counter sunscreens. These new policies will likely change how consumers buy and use non-prescription sunscreens.
Why the new regulations? Under the prior rules, sunscreens almost exclusively addressed protection against the sun’s UVB rays, not skin-cancer-causing UVA rays. Today, there is enough data and information to establish a standard broad-spectrum test procedure that measures protection from both UVA and UVB radiation. Under these new requirements, consumers will have more information on which sunscreens offer the most protection from sun exposure that can increase one’s risk of skin cancer.
While you may see changes earlier, these new regulations won’t completely take effect until next summer (2012). In the mean time, remember that spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early aging. The FDA wants to remind you in order to reduce these risks, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 and reapply every two hours.

Rarely is the phrase “good news” associated with the deadly form of cancer known as melanoma, but recent research, indicating two new drugs that have been found to prolong survival in advanced cases of melanoma, definitely qualifies. Yervoy, an immune suppressant gained FDA-approval in March, while the other drug, vemurafenib, which inhibits gene mutation, is still awaiting approval although clinical trials are showing unprecedented promise.
In the clinical trial, 675 patients with advanced melanoma were randomly assigned to treatments of the traditional chemotherapy treatment, dicarbazine, or vemurafenib. After only three months, it was discovered that patients receiving vemurafenib were 63 percent less likely to die and 74 percent less likely to die or see their cancer return. While they may not be cures, researchers are hopeful they may bring us one step closer to finding one.
