Tip of the day: Product for Your Hair Type

Use the appropriate oil/elixirs according to hair type.  Too much gunk due to too much product will leave the hair limp and without body.  It will also attract more dirt.

Tip of the day: Stop Heat Abuse

Over use of the flat iron especially when hair is full of product is like singeing the hair with heat.  You will notice right after you touch up with the flat iron that there are strands just coming out or popping off.  In addition, you are giving yourself instant split ends which will keep you from retaining length.

Tip of the day: Moisture

Beware of sitting under air conditioning vents, they can dry out your hair.  Stay moisturized (relative to your hair texture).

Tip of the day: Fragile edges

If your edges are fragile and your getting your hair relaxed, have your stylist apply the relaxer to the edges last or have them texturized. Be sure to inform your stylist about your fragile edges, as well.

Transformation Thursday

A naturalista has many options.  One of the options is getting a ceramic press.  First, the hair was shampoo'd and was given a steam treatment.  Secondly, (upper right) the hair was sectioned in six for control and was blown out by a ceramic paddle brush. Then the hair was sectioned in two and sprayed with a anti-humidity spiritz then silked out (bottom right).  Finally she was curled with a flat iron and left with bouncing, behaving hair!

This service usually takes approximately two hours.  If interested, book at www.instylhaircare.com, hit schedule now.

Tip of the day: Hair Goals

When your are visiting a stylist, be as upfront about your hair goals and all the concerns that you have about your hair.  When you and the stylist are clear then you get your desired outcome.

Tip of the day: Being a KITCHETICIAN!

The most important thing you can do for your hair is not to do your own chemical work on your hair, i.e., color, relaxers.  Why get inconsistent results and chance breakage when you can get a professional to do an oustandinf job with consistent results.
