Tear-Jerking Time-Lapse Video Shows Homeless Veteran's Incredible Transformation

This is incredible. Sometimes we only need someone to believe in us enough to remind us of our own strengths! I see this (on a smaller scale) on a daily basis -- its amazing how a physical transformation can allow us to finally take that step mentally and emotionally. This is what I love about our girls at Josef and Stephen Salon -- they are so passionate about bringing out the best in their clients, inside and out!
--With Laura Laura Romano Wooten, Alma Snodgrass and Angel Blanton!

huffingtonpost.com A simply incredible time-lapse video, released just in time for Veteran's Day, has captured the transformation of a homeless United States Army veteran.

Helpful Hint #10:

When looking for the best products for your hair, keep in mind that companies spend a ton of money on research and development! So when you choose the product you think is best, use the same shampoo, conditioner and styling products, made by the same company for maximum results!

Alma and Laura are doing some beautiful prom hair today! Remember -- don't forget to bring an extra can of Goldwell Big Finish to protect against the humidity!

Helpful Hint #9:

When static electricity gets so heavy in your hair, it's good to control it with a shine serum or smoothing cream.

Helpful Hint #8:

To help minimize the static electricity in your hair, use a fabric softener sheet -- rub it through your hair from root to end, and it should fix the problem!

Helpful Hint #7:

When moving to a new area, the one thing a woman hates to do is look for a new stylist. The best way to find one is to ask someone whose hair you like. Anyone likes a compliment!

Helpful Hint #6:

When you are in your stylist's chair, ask them about your facial shape and bone structure, and why a style would or would not look fabulous on you. If they can't give you a comforting answer... you may want to consider looking for a new stylist.

Helpful Hint #5:

Many people think that using flat irons and curling irons destroy the hair because of the heat. That is partially true. The majority of damage comes from not using styling products. Smoothing creams and mild gels work great for flat ironing, while firmer gels and mousse are better for curling the hair. Mild to strong gels are best for blow drying the hair straight with lots of fullness.

Feel free to comment with any hair challenges or questions!

Helpful Hint #4:

With warm weather approaching... remember, before going into the ocean or pool, to thoroughly saturate your hair under tap water. Hair can only retain so much moisture. After that, the excess remains on the exterior, preventing salt and chlorine damage!

Helpful Hint #3:

Having a bad hair day? Shampoo your hair with your normal shampoo, adding a tablespoon full of baking soda. This is a clarifying treatment and is more gentle to color treated hair.

Helpful Hint #2:

To maximize the effect of your shampoo and conditioner use warm water to shampoo your hair and cool water to rinse out conditioner.

Helpful Hint #1:

When styling your hair, to prevent damage or breakage, do not use a brush until your hair is at least 90%-95% dry.
