HALO | ENSEMBLE | LIVED IN COLOR | PRODUCT
It’s summer time and we can all relate that its the season that we just don’t got the time for ourselves like we do when the kids are in school or the patience we have when its not 105 degrees outside! I am always looking for ways to make my hair look good without committing to the regiment I normally do. Here are my top 4 recommendations to get some of that time back so you just don’t have to worry about your hair until you want to do something different!
#1. LIVED-IN-COLOR
It’s ironic that this trend came from wanting our hair to look like we had let it go for the summer but actually did it on purpose? Haha! Nonetheless if it is done well, it truly is the most flattering coloring style you can get done! I think of it as the concept of less is more and bringing our hair closer to the colors of its natural state. Lived in Color began a few years ago and is only becoming more and more refined as an art that it will be here for a very long time! Most clients can go 3-6 months in between appointments with this style and their hair is in the healthiest state it can be because we are leaving it alone!
#2. BLOW DRY STYLING INSTEAD OF HEAT STYLING
In the summer our hair barely holds a curl or a pin straight style for longer than a day, so why do we feel the need to touch up our hair with our irons on the daily! Instead use this practice to give your hair a break from all the heat and even better, let you go 3-4 days at a minimum in between washes!
Use a BOAR BRUSH with your hairdryer to blow dry your hair when you wash it. Here are a few benefits you’ll see:
- Volume at your root which will let you go longer without it feeling greasy
- Smoother locks without the frizz for longer than if you used a flat iron
- Promote healthier hair instead of the major damage that comes from using irons
- Your color will last MUCH LONGER without having your toner fade too fast
Are you someone that after 2 days you think your hair can’t revived because it feels too greasy, your waves are getting out of control, your hair isn’t perfectly straight anymore, or the tangles are just too much to manage? Well I have you covered because even I fall victim to those thoughts until I remember what to do about it!
- Greasy Hair – Use a super light but absorbent Dry Shampoo at the root and through your mid strand to “lighten it up”. Here is my favorite
- Crazy Waves – Use my DeTangler and brush out your hair , then flip your hair upside down and back… ,THEN use this Texture Spray throughout your mid strand and ends and embrace the tousled look you’ve always tried to create on your clean hair days but couldn’t!
- Not Pin Straight Anymore – Use a Styling Balm and put some through your fingertips and rub them together to warm up the cream. Then grab some front and top pieces throughout and “bend” them to look intentionally waved. Once you’ve done that to your heart’s content, then finish off with some light texture spray.
- Too Much Tangles – This means that your hair is dry and needs some hydration! My two go-to’s are putting an oil through your ends or applying Dry Conditioner from mid strand to ends! Both are amazing and you’ll be shocked how quickly it works on those tangles.
#4. ADD IN A HALO
You know there is always a need that a Halo Extension will suffice! Adding a Halo to your hair will give you instant Volume, Fullness, and Length which lets us go longer in between washes and between color appointments. The Halo is not damaging whatsoever to your hair because it is not attached to the hair! The Halo is also the Best replacement for your permanent extensions and better yet, you can just take it out when you are wanting to get in the water or just not have all that hair that day!
