+ Hair Tip: Heat Protecting Products For Hair

+ Protecting your hair from heat damage is a very important step in hair care. It is also one thing that most stylists will tell you people don't do enough of at home. Most of the popular hair companies make some kind of heat damage protector for use when flat ironing, curling, or blow drying hair. Here are three that I like:

+ Carol's Daughter Macadamia Heat Protection Serum: $18

+ Silk Element's Heat Protection Spray: $9

+ Tresemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray: $5

Not only does it prevent damage and breakage on your natural hair, but it also increases the lifespan of your Sweet Locks! Do you use heat protectors? If so, what kind?

STAY SWEET,

+ Want Her Look? : Kerry Washington's Sleek Style

+ Is anybody else addicted to the hit TV show "Scandal"? I'm addicted! As well as equally addicted to the show's star, Kerry Washington, aka  Olivia Pope. I've always thought that Kerry was gorgeous, but last year we saw her out more and on red carpets looking more stunning than ever!

+ I love these sleek looks by Kerry, which show off her lovely strong facial features. You can get this look by using our "Sweet and Straight" Sweet Locks Hair. We'd recommend getting what is called a versatile sew-in, which is a method that leaves portions of your hair out to cover the sewn wefts, so that you can wear it down, or pull it into a lovely updo like Ms. Washington!

P.S.  Scandal returns on January 10th! Can't Wait! 

STAY SWEET,
