The Hair Whisperer™
Mending Broken Hairs


Does the idea of facing another Valentine’s Day with desperately thirsty and frazzled ends seem daunting to you? The “Love” Day is looming, you have an intriguing evening planned with that special someone or even an enchanting evening alone but when you look in the mirror all you can think of is “how do I entrance with this mop on my head?” Has the mid-winter stress kidnapped your hair and you find that it’s dingy, droopy perhaps even broken; leaving you feeling like you’ll never find the perfect partner to achieve lustrous and luscious hair?

Well here’s a balm for your hair’s aching heart….The Diva Remedy! Just ten minutes to whip up the Diva Remedy and thirty minutes of processing and voila! You’re hair is freer than Patty Hearst after her release. Follow the instructions below to the letter and your hair will enchant your beloved, your date, yourself, your mother! This Valentine’s Day you’ll be Cupid’s own Diva.

The Diva Remedy

Ingredients: Deep Cleansing Shampoo – Try Ion’s Clarifying Shampoo, Crede’s ER Hair Treatment, Vitamin E Capsules (or oil), An Avocado Sliver (without the peel please), Light Mayonnaise (Brand of Choice), Distilled Water, Whisk or Electric Beater, Four Large Hair Clips or Butterfly Clips, Large White Hand Towel, Microwave, Plastic Bag, Inspiring Zumba DVD or Blue Ray Disc, Acid/Cream Rinse Try this Chamovera Cream Rinse

1. Shampoo your hair and scalp twice fully with deep cleansing shampoo (don’t worry if your ends are dried or broken, they’ll survive the shampoo). Try …. Deep cleansing shampoo
2. Squeeze out (do not rub) all of the excess water out of your hair until it stops dripping
3. In a large plastic bowl add four – six tablespoons of Crede’s ER Hair Treatment***
4. Pour in the oil from 3 Vitamin E capsules
5. Add in one sliver of avocado (without the peel please!)
6. Add ½ Teaspoon of Light Mayonnaise (you don’t want a fat head now do you?)
7. Add 4 ounces of distilled water
8. Whip up your Diva Remedy vigorously and thoroughly for at least one minute. You can be hard core and do it with a hand whisk or you can be a real diva and use your electric beater J
9. Separate your hair into four sections holding each section separate with your large/butterfly hair clips: Right Wing, Left Wing (No, this will not affect your political persuasions), Top Back, Bottom Back
10. Beginning on Top (either right or left wing), slather on your Diva Remedy from scalp to ends with your fingers. Wrap the entire section into a bun like circle on top of your head. If your hair is too short for this just leave the section hanging until you finish the entire head.
11. Do the opposite wing and then the two back sections, each time beginning with the top section and plopping each section on top of your head (like any other fabulous diva). Make sure you use the entire batch so that your head feels as if there’s a moist, gooey cap on top of your head.
12. When finished applying make certain all of the hair is either on top of your head or as close to on top of your head as possible.
13. Wet the Hand Towel thoroughly with warm water until it’s sopping wet. Squeeze out thoroughly.
14. Place in the Microwave for 30 seconds
15. Nuke that puppy!
16. After 30 seconds remove it from the microwave carefully.
17. Wrap it around your head like a pre-performance makeup headband
18. Place the Plastic bag on top of the towel and close shut with one of the hair clips.
19. Insert the Zumba DVD or Blue Ray Disc
20. Spend the next thirty minutes working up a sweat and having a ball!!!
21. After the sweatfest, remove the bag and towel, separate the hair until it lays vertical (make certain there’s air getting to the scalp) and let cool for 5 minutes.
22. Jump in the shower, wash your body, and rinse your hair thoroughly.
23. Squeeze out the excess water and run a little Acid (or Finishing Rinse) through your ends (but not on your scalp)
24. Rinse, towel dry your body and hair (squeezing not rubbing)
25. Do not shampoo for 48 hours!
26. Style as usual. Stay away from finishing products with oils and/or silicones until your next shampoo.
***Extra Thick Hair might need up to 8 Tablespoons of ER Hair Treatment


Once you’ve got your locks in perky condition it’s time to strut your stuff and charm your way through winter. Never fear the threat of damage hair again.
Add a dana michele charm ring to add a little more Diva to your Divaness!

Shown here against a white Shoshanna dress (although you can’t see the dress), this BTF is your BFF when it comes to trendy fashion!

Love Me with Love Me Knot® Jewelry

To illustrate the Love Me, Love Me Knot® line, Dana just HAD to have a daisy in the picture. Mother Nature provided this big beautiful (and yes, real!) flower, while the baby pink cashmere tank came from Club Monaco. Both helped Katy connect to the passion generated by wearing a Love Me Knot®. And, by the way, the petals on the daisy came out ‘Love Me Not’ – but we loved Katy anyway.

Love Me Knot® is the perfect jewelry to say “I love you“.

Hip New Mom

Oh, baby, did we have fun shooting Katy in different possibilities for the Hip New Mom theme! Think “playful” and “hot mama” and you’ll know where our heads were at, matching up stunning pieces like Lucky Duck Penny Pendants with this MARTISSE NEW YORK brown cami and cream knit cardigan. We passed on the urge to bring a real baby to the set. We were drooling enough over the jewelry already!

Find that perfect gift for your mom or that special new mom in your life.

Birthday Purr-suit

Katy had all of us wondering which piece of Dana Michele jewelry we’d be purr-ing for on our next birthday. A gold fancy pendant with moonstone and diamonds? Infinity Heart® tear drop earrings? We decided any Dana Michele bling would look good with this Donna Karan cashmere sequined tank – or with an ‘au-natural’ birthday suit!

Unique Bridal Jewelry

The bridal shots made us all misty-eyed. We couldn’t take our eyes off Katy in the white gold Love Me Knot® necklace, wedding band, and diamond-set earrings, along with the thread ruffle Wedding gown and the Brideshead Revisited custom veil (thanks to The Wedding Library). In fact, Katy looked so beautiful we all wanted to drop what we were doing and go get married ….or remarried…so we could dress up, don sparkling jewelry, and have that radiant glow, too!
