Healthy Hair Habits

Living in Florida has a major impact on your hair, causing color to fade faster and to dry out hair due to harmful UV rays. To prevent this using our Nutri plenish leave in spray, you can use this on damp hair to moisturize, de tangle, and protect from the heat damage or apply before you go to the beach, or pool to protect from chlorine, UV, and you UVB rays.

Many factors in our day to day lives can damage our hair, such as hard water, chemical services, and improper brushing. We can prevent and repair with our botanical repair line with many benefits, including intense bond, building technology, strengthening overnight, serums, and weekly masks in two different formulas to accommodate all textures and lengths. 

Reducing damage can be as simple as trying new styles to reduce heat styling damage. Over using hot tools can give you hair that looks amazing but in reality is brittle, lackluster, and dull to reduce this. Be sure to use heat relief every time you heat style or try alternative styles like a trendy claw clip, a fun braid, or even experiment with heatless curls.

Maintenance is generally every five weeks. The first move up is usually considered a mini move up. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes. You will be asked to come in with clean, dry hair prior to these appointments..:unless you want to treat yourself to a salon blowout! 10 weeks after the initial installation, the wefts are completely removed and freshly reapplied . When the beads are moved up, natural shedding will have taken place and is trapped in the beads. The shedding is combed out and the bead is re-pinched. For example, think of when you wear a ponytail all day … then you take it out, you have all that loose hair? In the like, Imagine five weeks of shedding trapped, it must be removed! This is why the five week maintenance is sooo important. Maintenance is important to avoid any issues with matting. Yuck! Hair over-matting can lead to breakage. Courtney comments, “I mean, we’re trying to add more hair not take it away… right?! Integrity is first and foremost the most important thing to me when doing installs.”

How do you know when THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR A HAIRCUT?

TIME FOR A HAIRCUT?

You may wondering why your friendly neighborhood stylist is so adamant about getting you in for a regular haircut. Truth be told, it’s one of the easiest and best services that goes a long way on your journey — to perfect hair.

Enjoy this small list of key benefits to having that regular haircut appointment.

Longer

As your hair starts to grow out it will naturally be susceptible to damage, weather from styling or brushing, heat damage, or even environmental factors like sun exposure. The ends, or oldest pieces of the hair, will start to split or unravel much like the a piece of yarn or fabric. If left alone these splits will travel far up the hair strand and create breakage and stunt your hair growth right in its tracks.

Fuller

Remember the breakage we mentioned? As this starts to happen you may notice that the fullness of your hair starting to diminish through the ends, leaving them thinner and even scraggly. By having a regular trim you can prevent this and have full, beautiful, healthy hair from root to ends!

Frizz & Detangling

Ever notice your brush getting caught through the ends of your hair? That’s because the frayed cuticle, or outer layer of a hair strand, can start to create a sort of “Velcro affect”, getting hair strands stuck together and making it harder to run a brush through. Not to mention that the same frayed outer layer will cause a dull lifeless look, while a healthy strand will produce a silky shine!

Styling

Key in all the previous factors and you’ll realize that styling will be a breeze when you get regular cuts. From the countless time saved detangling in the morning to the effortless shine and fullness. Keeping your hair healthy will ultimately make anything you do to it look that much better!

How often should you schedule an appointment?

For hair that is thick or often left natural 8-10 weeks is great. For hair that is fine or styled often with with a blow dryer or hot irons, it is recommended to get a haircut every 6-8 weeks. For shorter styles like pixies or above the shoulder bobs, coming in every 2-6 weeks depending on the length and freshness of the style.

Weather it be a chop, a trim, or a dusting off the ends, considering them as a part of your regular routine will have you reaping the benefits of strong healthy hair.
