Have Salon Beautiful Hair Everyday!

If I had a nickel for every time I heard the phrase “I can never get my hair to look as great as you do” I would be a rich woman. While a lot has to do with the fact that I do it on a daily basis it also has a lot to do with the tools I use to do it. So here is some advice so that your hair can look salon beautiful everyday. As always please submit your hair, makeup or skin questions to Heather@StudioImageLLC.com and I will answer them next month.

Hair

I tell my clients in the salon all the time,” do not wash your hair everyday!” It fades your color and it denies your hair the natural oil that your body produces to keep it healthy. If you must do something with it daily, rinse it at the end of your shower and put in a small amount of conditioner. Other than that I only recommend washing your hair 1-2 times a week.

On to styling

Products are the key to anyone’s hair looking amazing. I suggest you have a few key products that you always put in your hair and then a few that you use for different styles.

After washing and conditioning your hair a leave in conditioner is a total must.

Second a UV protection for your hair if you are out in the sun a lot and notice that your color fades fast this will help tremendously with that problem. There is at least one in every line of professional hair products but I use Pureology.

The third product is going to help with how your hair styles.

If you have curly hair I recommend the following products.

Paul Mitchell Round Trip- leaves the hair soft and curls defined.

Paul Mitchell sculpting foam mixed with Paul Mitchell Super Skinny- has a little more hold that the first product but still has the softness.

Moroccan Oil Intense Curl Cream- I love this entire line of products. Great for curls. This would be my top pick for sure.

When going for a more strait and smooth look

Paul Mitchell Strait Works mixed with super skinny- Gives it that smooth strait feeling without being so light that you have a bunch of fly aways. This will help keep that smoothed out hair last for days even in Florida’s moist weather.

Moroccan Oil- this can be used on the hair wet or dry and works wonderfully. (see full review of this product in my next set of reviews coming out soon!)

When using your smoothing iron take smaller sections that you have in the past. Go over the area a little slower as well. While it might seem like this will take more time, but it really saves you time because you don’t have to go over each area 4 times. You get it the first time and it looks amazing.
