Spring into Great Hair

Now that Spring is upon us, we must pump up the volume and fight the split ends… because blonding season is among us!

Chelsea, Master Artist, at Salon Norrell Aveda and nationally award winning artist shares her must haves for post winter hair care.

First is my baby, Daily Hair Repair. As soon as I towel dry my hair I like to put a dime size of this into my hands, and run it through the ends of my hair. Daily Hair Repair reduces breakage by 90% in just 1 week! It also helps protect the hair against breakage and thermal damage up to 450 degrees. You know I LOVE heat styling, so this is a must. This product aids in smoothing the hair surface and soy helps to nourish the hair. A win-win in my book!

Phomollient is my second choice! This styling agent includes certified organic honey, burdock and marshmallow root. It gives a medium hold with weightless body for that voluptuous blowout. Another thing I love about Phomollient is that it adds volume without build up or weight. Ain’t nobody got time for buildup. Pairing this with the daily hair repair, guuuuurl, you’re gonna be a show stopper.

All hail the thickening tonic! This is a styling spray that works to instantly thicken hair. It instantly expands strands from roots to ends and helps to protect hair against environmental damage. This babe of a product thickens hair instantly with just one use! It is powered by botanicals- including certified organic amla fruit. The wheat is what helps boost thickening while the corn helps hold your fuller style. All you have to do is shake, shake, shake and spray the root area. But, not too close. A little goes a long way!

Say “HELLO” to spring and let’s all join the fight against humidity and split ends together!

Last Minute Hairstyles

Tis the season to see family and friends! Do you have last minute plans tonight? We have a cure for last minute hair stress. Here are a few styles to get you last minute ready in no time…

Head Band Twist

Pace the headband over the top part of your head leaving the bottom out. Next, take each area and tuck into the back bottom of the elastic. Use a rolling technique for a cute sass.

A bow on top!

Pull your hair into a high, looped pony tail on top of your head. Split the bun in half to create 2 loops. Find the middle of the bun, then divide it in half to create 2 loops. Pull the end of ponytail up and over the top of the bow. Pull the ends right between the two loops and secure with a bobby pin underneath. You may want to wrap it if you have a lot of hair left to hide some length. This will create the center part of the bow.

Low Side Braid

Pull the hair to the side of the head and separate into two sections. Braid both of the sections, pulling lightly on the outer sides of each braided piece to make the braid look puffy and full. If you are feeling like you want a challenge, make a small braid and include it like a headband/halo.

Now that is quick and easy..so go on hurry along and put your hairstyle together real fast so you have plenty of time to prep that outfit and do your winged eyeliner!
