Great Hair Products Make for Great Hair!

Many of my clients (and readers) ask,“What hair product favorites do we recommend at our salon?” So, I have put together a short list of some of our favorites for you to consider.

Favorite Hair Products: Shampoo & Conditioner

Pureology Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner

“Hair Products Favorites”My hair products favorite right now, as far as shampoo and conditioner goes, is the Pureology line. Specifically, I love Pureology’s Pure Volume line because it gives hair a volume boost, which is big now and protects color better than anything else I’ve used.
Pureology hair products are known for sealing in hair color. Their Pure Volume shampoo and conditioner takes it one step further and adds thickness, volume, body and shine. I prefer to use this line on my clients, as do the other hair stylists in my salon and I have become  a faithful user myself.

Favorite Hair Product Favorites: Styling Product

Kenra Platinum Silkening Gloss

The one styling hair product I cannot live without right now is Kenra Platinum Silkening Gloss. I use this on almost every head of hair I style (including my own). Kenra Platinum Silkening Gloss gives shine to hair and works great with heated hair styling tools to protect hair. I highly suggest everyone who uses heat for hair styling, to also use a hair product that helps to protect the hair. Use Kenra Platinum Silkening Gloss if you want a product that works like a shine serum, leaves your hair feeling silky and protects against heat.

Hair Product Favorites: Deep Conditioner/Hair Treatment

Redken Extreme Deep Fuel Hair Treatment

Hair products that are formulated to repair damaged hair and are in demand because of all the chemical processes we all seem to be unable to do without. Hair color, highlights, perms, straightening treatments and use of heated styling tools all contribute to damage hair. Luckily hair products like Redken Extreme Deep Fuel can rescue and help rejuvenate your hair.

I like this hair product because my clients can use it at home and Redken promises that after 5 treatments, hair is 3 times stronger. I see what a difference Redken Extreme Deep Fuel makes on my clients’ damaged hair and it’s measurable. Try this hair product if your hair is dry, damaged, dull and weakened because of coloring, highlighting, straightening or any other chemical services.

Hair Product Favorites: Men’s Product

Redken for Men Bulk Up Thickening Spray

The number one concern that my male clientele have is hair thinning or hair loss. There are many hair products for hair loss on the market, but Redken for Men Bulk Up Thickening Spray works well and works immediately to literally ‘bulk up’ hair and create a fuller appearance. It  adds volume and texture to hair and gives it a light hold.

Want to know a little secret? I don’t just use this product on men . . . I use it on my women clientele too! Anyone can benefit from thicker, fuller, more volumized looking hair.

Fall Hair Care Tips

The season of sun-kissed curls may over, but that doesn’t mean you have to hide under a hat till next summer. Adapt your hair to the fall hair season with these Cold-weather tips.

“Fall Hair Tips”Forecast: Cold, Windy & Dry

• Keep your hair moisturized.

• Don’t shampoo more than three times a week . . . Over washing will strip you hair’s natural oils giving you limp, dried-out hair.

• When heading outside, protect your hair from harsh winds with silk-lined scarves and hats.

Forecast: Rain or Snow

• Don’t try to fight your naturall hair type—Mother Nature will make it too much of a hassle! Instead, slick straight hair back into a ponytail or let natural waves hang loose.

• Seal out moisture with hotstyling tools and finish with a mist-shielding spray.

• Avoid mousses, waxes and other heavy products—they can get messy when mixed with moisture.

Frizzy Hair? Try a Hair Diffuser in Winter Months!
By Guest Blogger Meleesa Salcedo
“How to use a hair diffuser 101″

Have you ever had a diffuser attachment come with your new blow dryer but not know what to do with it? I’m often surprised how many girlfriends of mine aren’t really sure what a hair diffuser does and what benefits it has to offer. I’ve had very long, thick, and wavy hair all my life and love the benefits of my tourmaline professional ionic hair diffuser!

So, how to use a hair diffuser and what exactly does a hair diffuser do? While a blow dryer pushes hot air out a high speeds through a single hole, a hair diffuser (which is attached to the end of the blow dryer) reduces the speed and creates a more even distribution of heat over a larger area. Although a hair diffuser can be used by all hair types, the biggest benefit is reduced frizz for those of us with curly or wavy hair.

Some easy steps to reduce frizzy hair:

• Attach the diffuser device to the end of your blow dryer.
• Apply your favorite frizz-free styling product.
• Turn your blow dryer on, keeping it on a low setting to reduce friction.
• Place the diffuser at the roots of your hair moving in circular motions working your way to the end of your locks.  The best way to add lift to your curls is by doing this with your head turned upside down.

For best results never completely dry your hair. This can cause more unwanted frizz. Leave your hair slightly damp, drying till it’s about 80% dry.

As I know, quite a few women prefer to allow their hair to air dry naturally during the summer months (the best way to dry curly or wavy hair) however, if you know how to use a hair diffuser, it might be something to consider during coming winter months to help keep your locks frizz free and full of shine!
