Our go to Curls for an Effortless Look!

During your visit at the salon, we love helping you recreate your favorite styles at home! We love creating curls that are quick and easy, look effortless, and don’t need to be touched up for days. DAYS?! Yep, you read it right! We get it, life is busy! And you probably don’t want to be spending a ton of time of your hair in the morning! So we are spilling all of our secrets for effortless curls for you right here!

One important thing that you might not think about is having the right tool! We love using the Bioionic long barrel curling iron! This comes in 2 different barrel sizes based on the length & thickness of your hair and how tight you like your curls! We carry both in the salon. Stop by and we can help choose the curling iron best fit for you!

The products that you use before and after styling are equally important to the tool you use! There are so many different options available when it comes to heat protectants, texture sprays, and hair sprays. We want to share a new of our favorites with you! Redken Thermal Spray 11 is a great heat protectant to use for every day heat styling! 

 

This is a lightweight spray that helps protect the integrity of your hair while using hot tools! After curling, using a few products to finish your look will help lock your curls into place and stay for days! For texture spray, we love using Next Day Hair

from L’Oreal Professional. Spray this all over your hair before brushing out your curls. This will help give your hair volume and hold without feeling crunchy or dry. Finish the look with a hairspray of your choice! We love Redken Triple take or Kerastase Laque Noire! Curious about what styling products are right for you? Stop in the salon today to get expert advise on products, styling, and more!

How often should you wash your Hair?

The question that everyone is asking! What is the magic formula to getting perfect hair? Am I washing my hair too often, not enough, just the right time? The answer is probably not what you’re expecting! Let’s just get it out in the open: it doesn’t matter how often you wash your hair!! Once a week? Great! Twice a week? Awesome! Every other day? Totally fine! The truth is the secret isn’t in the timeline of your wash days, do what works best for you! The secret magic is actually in the PRODUCTS you are using when you wash your hair and how you style it afterward!

Instead of focusing on when you wash your hair, let’s focus on HOW you wash your hair!

One important thing to note – the natural oils your scalp produces help keep your hair moisturized. Washing your hair less often helps preserve these natural oils, but again do what works best for you!

When washing your hair – here are a few things to keep in mind:

#1 Shampoo & Conditioner – use these products as an opportunity to address your biggest hair concern! We know there are so many different types of shampoo and conditioners out there. If you need help choosing the best products for you, ask! We would love to help you reach your hair goals!

#2 Products after the shower! – using a few products when you get out of the shower can help target hair concerns that may help you go longer in between washes. Whether you struggle with adding moisture, shine, volume, or texture to your hair, there are products that can help you achieve these goals!

#3 Blow dry your hair! – Blow drying your hair after shower will help activate your products and lock your style into place! Still using your blow dryer from 7th grade? We get it! If you need an upgrade for any of your hot tools, we’ve got you covered on that too!
