Welcome back and for this segment, we
have with us the national beauty adviser
for Sally Beauty Supply,
Beth Baric Hickey is a licensed
cosmetologist and nail technician
who owns her own marketing and training
company for professional beauty products.
Thank you for being with me today, Beth.
Thanks for having me on, Valerie.
I did exactly what you told
me to do.
You have this new book out called 500
Beauty Solutions.
And you sent me the pre edited book
and you said Valerie thumbed through here
and see if there are any questions
that you've wanted answered that I
haven't answered. And, you know, you're
right. You really have done a good job.
How did you come up with such a
comprehensive book, Valerie?
The book was created out of need.
Over the years, I've had so many of my
friends asking me questions that we've
put in the book.
Normally, the reason why they would ask
the questions is because they'd either
forget to ask their stylist or their nail
technician, or they'd ask themselves
the question at the most inopportune
time, and that standing in front of the
mirror in the morning, never having
anyone there to answer the question.
So we compiled all of the information
with the help of beauty editors, with
the merchandizing staff at Sally Beauty
and also a tremendous amount of research
that I've done with the professional
stylist in the nail technician.
Put all the information from the
questions with the answers
and then put it in our book, Five Hundred
Eighty Solutions.
Now, when does this book come out?
Comes out November 1st, Valerie
and where can we get it
at bdelloids Walden bookstores
and also all twelve hundred of the Sally
beauty supply locations.
OK, now you don't know that
I've done this, but ahead of time I ask
our studio audience to give us some
questions that they've always wanted to
ask the beauty expert.
So let me ask you some of these that I
have in my hand here.
The first one says I have
scruffy nails.
How do you like that word?
Scruffy.
Pretty well says it.
What can I do about it?
Scruffy nails really could be two
different things.
Scruffy nails could actually mean scruffy
cuticles, which in that case
you can get a cuticle conditioner and
just apply the critical condition or to
the cuticle area.
And it's normally a cream or an oil
massage it into the cuticle.
And that's what will help take away the
look of scruffy cuticles.
Now, if it's actually a scruffy nail,
then we need to strengthen the nail.
And you would buy a strength her
a strengthen or just looks like a clear
bottle of Polish, but it's a clear bottle
polish that has all the nutrients in
it that's applied to the natural nail.
And it helps to give it the strength that
you need to get rid of the scruffy nail.
Look, OK, I have to ask
what causes them in the first place?
Why why do we get scruffy nails?
Well, one big reason valorize because
we're coming into wintertime and
everything dries out in the wintertime.
Also, secretaries, they're filing
a lot and papers and typing
housewives being in water all day long.
So there's a lot of different things that
can cause scruffy cuticles.
OK, that's a good answer.
Thank you for that.
Here's another one.
This one says, I am a woman of color,
and my little girl, ten years old, wants
me to use a relaxer on her hair.
Should I do it this young and can
I do it myself?
The wonderful thing about the relaxers
today and the improvement in technology
is the manufacturers actually have
special designed relaxers for
younger children, but we still
strongly recommend having the hair
analyzed by professionals.
OK, good. And speaking of professionals,
this this might come into this question.
This woman says, I've colored my hair
at the salon.
Between visits, it fades.
Is there anything I can do to keep my
hair from fading?
Yes, there are color shampoos
available that are very, very simple
to use and economical.
It'll bring back the wonderful highlights
to the hair between the salon visits.
OK,
what about someone like me who does color
their hair now? You know everything.
And is there
a particular product that I should look
at, depending on the color that
I have on my hair?
Valerie, you have darker hair and
you have beautiful, beautiful red
highlights. So between salon
visits, you need to determine which one
of those colors do you wanted it.
And I would suggest in enhancing
the beautiful red highlights.
So you would buy a shampoo that is made
for the red highlights in your
hair, just shampoo it in and
it brings back and enhance the color
until you get into the salon.
Great. OK, thanks for that.
Here's one that says, what do I do with
the phrases?
Phrases are very simple to take care of.
We have hair shiner's available today.
Hair Shiner's are wonderful products.
If you put them on your fingers, they
actually feel like an oil and sometimes
they can feel a little bit sticky.
So only just a little.
And a little dabble, do you, and then you
just run it through the hair, when you
run it through the hair, it gives a lot
of shine and beautiful highlights to the
hair, but it also conceal
split ins. Not only does it temporarily
when you put it on, but it hides the
split ends.
The next one is sort of the opposite
of that. And the last one we have time
for, it says, I have live fine
hair and I want it to be thicker.
What can I do?
Little fine hair can be taken care of
with texture. Reiser's again
texturize or something that you just put
into the hair and the texturize are
actually coats the hair itself and
then it plumps it up.
So it gives the image of a thicker,
fuller head of hair.
You have all the questions answered and I
appreciate you being with us today.
But we will look for your book because
all of the questions are answered in
here. It's called Five Hundred Beauty
Solutions. And for those of you watching
at home, you can see on the screen the
one 800 number.
And Beth, thanks again.
And we'll see you next week.
Welcome back and on this part of our
show, we have with us the national
beauty adviser for Sally Beauty Supply,
Beth Baric Hicky.
Beth is a licensed cosmetologist
and nail technician who owns her own
national company that has marketing and
training for beauty products.
So welcome and I appreciate you being
on my show today.
And I want you to know I did exactly what
you told me to do, Beth.
You told me.
And we're kind enough to send me ahead of
time this pre edited copy of your
brand new book, Five Hundred Beauty
Solutions.
And you told me to flip through here and
see if, in fact, there were any questions
that I had and you hadn't answered.
And you're right. You've answered them
all. Now, I want to know how you came
up with such a comprehensive book.
Well, Valerie, the book was really
created out of need to be able
to make available the answer to so
many beauty questions.
We had a tremendous amount of help from
beauty editors, the merchandizing
staff at Sally Beauty and
a great deal of research time that I've
spent with professional stylist and
nail technicians.
I'll bet it took some time to write.
You don't just do this overnight, do you
know?
Yeah, well,
since Beth was the expert, we had fun
going to a beauty supply and I
picked out things that I had no clue
what they were and I brought them.
And we're going to ask Beth to explain
what they are. You see, if you know what
they are before she explains them.
The first thing I picked out was called
Tingo Tips.
Beth, it looks like a glove
that I would wash dishes with.
What is it?
Well, Valerie, this is a shampoo glove
and it has knobs on the end of the
fingers so that when you're shampooing,
it's massaging the scalp and stimulating
the scalp at the same time.
Oh, tingle tips.
Why did they take so long to come up with
something like that?
That makes sense.
All right, let's see.
What is this piece of
foam, I guess, in
the shape of a cone
that is a diffuser.
Let's bring out our trusty blow dryer so
we can show you what this does.
Now, most of the time, Valerie, when
people say diffusers, you think
of the big hard piece of plastic
they would put on the end of the blow
dryer and it's used on the hair and it
helps to support the curl, right?
Well, this is also a diffuser.
What we're going to do is loosen the
Velcro parts, slip this
on the blow dryer,
and this makes available all the features
and benefits of your diffuser.
But in a portable diffuser,
that's great for those of us who
travel, that's a great product.
All right.
Well, now let's see if I were
to guess math, I would say this has
something to do with curling the hair.
But what is it?
Yes, it does, Valerie.
This is called the tongue.
The tongue. Yes.
OK, you have the features and benefits
of a round brush, as well
as the clamp of a curling iron.
Aha. And I can show you in my
hair, when you're blow drying the hair,
you would be taking this brush and you
would pull it into the hair and
then clamp.
So you're holding it tight while you
blow drying.
So you can do both things at once.
Yes. And you get the curl from
the round brush with
the hold of the curling iron.
I need that for my daughter.
OK, that's good.
Well, let's see one more.
I can't imagine what you would use this
for. What is it, Valerie?
When people look at this most of the time
they say it's a piece of foam, right?
It's called a rat.
A rat. Now, we'll tell you what it is.
This is used for people that have
short to medium length hair when
they want to wear the beautiful updo
styles that are so popular today.
But they don't really have enough hair to
be able to put their hair up.
So I'll show you once again in my hair.
Now, my hair is a little too long,
but I can show you that this would lay
almost as a halo around
the head. I'm going to leave this part
out just so you can see where it
would position in the hair.
And then you're going to roll the hair up
around and you would tuck
the hair underneath.
Pins would be secured right down into
these areas.
And also you'd continue wrapping so that
you'd hide this in as well.
And then this, if you continue around
the head, creates a halo effect.
That's really I've seen women with
those with the beautiful, whatever
you said you called it, the curls going
around, the elegance of it.
And I wondered, how in the world did they
get it to stay that way?
Well, if you haven't been to a beauty
supply lately and seen some of the really
unusual products, you're in for a treat,
I want to thank you for being on our
show. And again, mention your brand new
book, Five Hundred Beauty Solutions.
And would you tell us when it comes out
and where we can get it?
The book will be available November 1st.
You can get the book at B, Deltans,
Wilden's or all.
Twelve hundred of the Sally beauty supply
stores and there's even an eight
hundred number available to be able
to call to find out the location nearest
you, and that number is one 800
seven nine eight two four
seven five.
All right, Bill, thanks so much for being
with me today.
And I will see you next week.
