-Dry shampoo can be a good temporary solution as long as there is routine for using a professional wet line. (I recommend Pure BioGen Complex by Gina)

-Pull back the hair up or pin back for a quick chic’ look. 

– Add some quick curls to create volume or a new temporary look. (Hair Hack: Make sure to use tools with infrared technology in order to lock in the moisture!)

– Hats can add flair to any look. Tryout a cute one to match your style.

– Go for the wet look and slick back and mold the hair with some firm holding gel.

  • Avoid dead ends by getting regular trims every 6-8 weeks.
  • Avoid using styling tools on high heat.
  • Opt for washing your hair every other day rather than daily.
  • Use deep conditioning treatments weekly.
  • Try sleeping on a silk pillowcase rather than the coarser cotton case that can pull the hair.

November 2020 – Tip of the Week

Tip 1

Want to make sure your hair color last longer? Here are a few steps that I recommend:

  • Make sure to always select a professional wetline. 
  • Check to ensure that the line you select is sulfate free. 
  • Healthy hair absorbs color more easily so make sure to pick a line that promotes hair health. (Hint: Look for the following ingredients: biotin, collagen, and B vitamins).
  • Prior to coloring your hair, make sure to use a clarifying shampoo on the hair to remove excess build up that may reduce the effects of the color application.
  • When discoloration of shampoo takes place and it no longer performs as it once did, it is time to remove it from your shelves.
  • Keep an eye on the expiration dates and know they are there for a reason.
  • If your scalp becomes itchy or irritated after using a shampoo, it has likely gone bad and it’s time to get rid of it.
