Hair Shears that are ergonomic and...

Posted at 3:38 AM • No Comments

Hair Shears are an important tool for stylists and barbers. Hair-cutting scissors are used everyday by stylists to give their clients a haircut. Therefore, it is very important that hairdressers use hair shears that are ergonomic and comfortable.

Since stylists use hair shears for most part of the day, it exerts pressure on their wrists and fingers. The repetitive movement and regular strain on hands causes Repetitive Strain Injury. Other hazards which can risk a hairstylist’s health are Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and Occupational Overuse Syndrome (OOS).

Even if you have been in the hairdressing business for a short time, you might have experienced occasional pain in your wrists. This happens either due to holding hair-cutting scissors in the wrong position or due to usage of low quality hair shears. Therefore, investing in good quality hairdressing shears is one way to avoid Repetitive Strain Injury.

If you are a professional hairstylist or a cosmetology student, you should check out ScissorBoy hair shears. These are very comfortable and ergonomic shears. They are available in a full range of sizes – 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5 & 7 inch.

Celebrity Hairstyles: Reba McEntire...

Posted at 4:14 AM • No Comments

Reba McEntire, the Queen of Country Music performed two songs on Dancing with the Stars Season 10. She appeared as a guest performer and presented two songs from her #1 Gold album. Everyone was charmed with Reba McEntire’s hairstyle and her numbers “I Want a Cowboy” and “Consider Me Gone.”

Reba McEntire hairstyles have changed through the years but her glorious flame colored hair still looks charming. Her signature hair color has a glorious shade of red which suits perfectly with her skin tone and makes a great celebrity hairstyle.

For many years, Reba McEntire hair was long and full. She had a makeover a few years ago and used professional hair shears to cut her locks short. Her style on DWS looked trendy and fresh and her performance was appreciated by everyone.

While Reba’s celebrity hairstyle attracted eyeballs, Jake Pavelka and Buzz Aldrin both found themselves in the bottom two positions on DWS season 10. Finally, Buzz Aldrin and Ashly Costa were eliminated.

After watching Reba’s performance last night, I wonder how many people would still love to copy her celebrity hairstyle. Reba McEntire’s hairstyles does work best on hair that has a loose curl or wave. After all these years, she is still looks amazing with her signature hair.

Reba McEntire will host for the 12th time, the 45TH ANNUAL ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS, to be broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 18 on the CBS Television Network. It will be interesting to see which version of Reba McEntire hairstyle she sports that day.
