Beware the Claw, and Other Advice from Louis Licari

Oh my gosh, Louis Licari is hilarious.

Oh my gosh, Louis Licari is hilarious. He's admitted that he has a "Oh, no, you didn't!" file, in which he has a few pictures of people who could use some help from . This might seem mean-spirited coming from someone else, but it's obvious that he's here to help us avoid common coif catastrophes. Take this photo, for instance. I think we've all used these clips while getting ready, but as Louis says, they're not for public consumption:

These plastic jaw clips were made to hold your hair while you are styling your hair, washing your face, or applying make-up. They were never meant to be worn out of your home. This is not a hair accessory.

Well said! There are four other hair don'ts, so read the whole thing. And if you've committed one of these hair "sins," don't beat yourself up. Louis even admits that he's made a few mistakes in the past, proof that none of us are perfect!

Airplane-Approved Hair Tricks from Louis Licari

Who knew? Hair colorist Louis Licari has a blog!

Who knew? Hair colorist Louis Licari has a blog! Although he has high-profile celebrity clients such as Susan Sarandon, his down-to-earth blog has a lot of surprisingly easy suggestions for low-maintenance women, too. I like his ideas for sporting pretty hair after a long plane ride because they're things you'd actually find time to do while traveling. Take a look:

  • Brush it and leave it alone. I know that you don't change the style of your hair on a plane but don't touch it at all. I don't think women are aware of how much they play with their hair. Touching your hair will make it dirty faster.
  • Ponies work! Long-hair girls can put their hair back in a loose ponytail. This keeps your hair up and off your face, and will look amazingly fresh when you take it down upon landing.
