Usually, coloring your hair does come with some chemical interaction that affects your hair strands, and if proper care is not provided, they may further be prone to damage.

Shampoo and Hair Dye Relation

You may be having other hair related issues and might be using a specialized shampoo for it. But the harsh chemicals in the shampoo not designed for dyed hair may wash out the color. Hence, using proper best shampoo for color-treated hair is the first step to retain the color and the shine of your hair. The hair may look dull or dried out due to the effect of non-compatible shampoo. Also, dry scalp shampoo is a boon for colored hair.

Shampoos to Avoid

Sulfate based shampoos are to be avoided as they are harsh. These shampoos lather well and clean thoroughly due to their harsh detergent ingredients. The rough up the hair cuticle and force the color out of the hair, which was sealed and locked when colored.

A recent article was published about the “Rise of the Asian Male Supermodel,” and all I could think was, “DUH.”

I mean, the cheekbones, exotic eyes, and flawless skin, what’s not to love. Not to mention, in today’s global world, we are seeing some mind-blowing beautiful specimen. Case in point, my new friend Master (pictured left) who is a Laotian and French mix, but mostly just magic in my opinion.

One of my dear friends Andrew Ley, I originally met when he modeled for us at RUFSKIN. I pretty much think Andrew is perfect in every way, and have been so happy to see his success as a model.

Apparently, I’m super on trend too because my amazing boyfriend Patrick is Vietnamese. Even last night over dinner, our waitress wouldn’t stop flirting with him until I told her politely to calm down. I mean, I get it… he’s hot. Only then did she proceed to ask if he had a brother, after apologizing and explaining how she has a “thing for tall Asian guys.”

While the sentiment of recognizing Asian beauty is Western culture shouldn’t be news worthy, it still is. Honestly, maybe that’s a good thing though. At least at this point it’s being recognized and appreciated. To further show my appreciation of our Eastern boys, enjoy a slideshow of the top Asian Male Models right now, including Master and Andrew of course.

So much of current fitness messaging is encouraging “No Breaks,” or “No Days Off.” I instantly cringe, because “no days off,” means very soon…. you might be taking many days off due to a new injury. You see, believe it or not, fitness is just as much about the recovery, as the quality of your work. I don’t train every day. I don’t spend hours in the gym. I dedicate a killer hour, and I take days off (sometimes a couple in a row). Yes, I admit to freaking out sometimes if I don’t get a pump on in two days, but in reality, whenever I do get back in, I always feel stronger, more refreshed, and ready to go. Point is, it’s ok to chill out.

Take a day off, hit the beach, and maybe even eat some french fries. Life is short, and what’s the point of working so hard on that beach body, if you don’t get to enjoy it and show it off because you’re always training in the gym. Just like almost everything in your life, it’s all about quality, not necessarily quantity.

Fitness is about longevity, and the future you want to live.
Looking good today just happens to be a great side effect.
