Back by popular demand, cosmetologist Linda Mottishaw will discuss how our hair and scalp change with age, and how to deal with these changes, while promoting healthy hair.  (ie, diet, supplements, everyday shampoos and conditioners, deep conditioning, and restructuring conditioners, what various hair products do for the hair, and how to care for colored hair). 

 

She will discuss various hair color options, how to choose products, when to get touch-ups and when to get hair recolored.  Different options for hair coloring will be discussed (temporary, semi-permanent, permanent, highlights, lowlights, frosting, streaking, etc.).   She will explain how to use products to make our hair appear fuller, hair additions, hair pieces, and haircuts, plus finding a good hair spray.

 

Linda will also discuss normal nail changes with age, and how to deal with these, along with regular cleaning, moisturizing, and trimming/filing/cleaning of the cuticles and nails.  Other topics will include nail polishes, strengtheners, extenders (acrylics/gel/tips).  Linda will discuss benefits of salon manicures and pedicures, vs when to go to a podiatrist for nail services.
