Which Hairstyling Product Should MEN Use?

Some guys don’t give a ton of extraneous thought to their hair—that is, beyond washing it each day and wondering if/when/where it’s going to start falling out. If that’s you, then updating your hairstyle to sync with the season or to project a new image probably seems like a lot more hassle than it’s worth. Trust us, we feel you on that. But whether you’ve been using the same gel or mousse since you were in high school—or have never put anything in your hair at all—it’s a lot easier than you might think to switch up your look simply by switching up your product
– *Hair Gel: Use it if you have short to medium hair, you can go for a “wet” look with gel
*Pomade: If you want a hold that’s a little bit more pliable It’s great for that “behead” look.
*Mousse: Guys with longer hair should consider using mousse. It’ll give you more control and definition than using nothing at all , but your hair can still move naturally.
* Hair Spray: To max out the hold on longer hair, use hair spray. It will control frizz and flyaway’s without making your hair feel sticky.

Things You Should Be Doing This Winter For Healthy, Beautiful Hair

Now that the winter months are upon us and the days are much colder, it’s time to start thinking about ways to protect our hair from the damage that the winter elements can cause.

One very simple tip is to wear a hat when out as it keeps your hair covered from the wind, rain and snow. But as we all know, no woman wants the “dreaded hat hair.” A great way to avoid this is to wrap your hair in a silk scarf before putting on your cozy, wool beanie. This helps to protect your hair from damage caused by the hat rubbing against your hair and it also cuts down on the static. Another great way to combat static is to use a good heat styling product for blow drying such as the Mitchell  Heat OFF the Press  Protect and Shine Spray. This can also be used on dry hair before using a curling iron or flat iron.

 

During the winter months, it’s a great idea to treat your hair once a week to a deep conditioning treatment. This will help to replenish the moisture, which tends to get depleted from things such as the dry heat in your apartment and the cold winter air. I recommend something like the Awapuhui .KERATRIPLEX Two Step Repair .

What it does
KeraTriplex® Treatment transforms weak, broken and brittle strands into pillars of strength and protects from further damage

How it works Step one of the KeraTriplex® 2-step Repair Treatment, the single-shot vial of isolated proteins is virtually identical to the keratin found in human hair.

  I also find if you can keep washing your hair to a minimum, say two to three times a week, this will prevent your hair from drying out too much. And always make sure you dry your hair before leaving the house. Not only because you will get a cold, but the moisture in your hair combined with the cold air, will add further damage to your hair by making it more brittle and dry.. Regular trims are a great way to keep your hair in good health during the winter months as well — every six to eight weeks, just get a light dusting of the ends to help reduce the chance of dry, splitting ends.

One unexpected secret to keep your hair looking good in the winter is to invest in a humidifier. I know you’re thinking that humidity equals frizzy hair, but when you have the heat on, the air in your apartment/ homes , becomes very dry and I find the humidifier helps stop your hair and skin from feeling dry.

For more information or if you have any questions please give us a call my staff and I will be very happy to help you any time .

Have a great hair Day every Day

Fashion Week

Runways While fashion week is about fantasy and illusion, the most captivating trends from the fall shows emphasized wearable texture, natural ease and feminine approachability. From polished ponytails to unfussy strands left free around the shoulders, hairstylists offered up plenty of inspirational  and achievable  ideas that float from the runway to the real world surprisingly well. Precise Pony The ponytail always plays a part in fashion week and this season it was all about concise, perfectly pulled-back looks. Hair was prepped with styling treatment oil from Awapuhi to prevent frizz and add shine, then flat-ironed into sleek curtains. To secure the base, using simple elastics carefully concealed with a few loose strands.

HOW-TO: Selena Rocks the Retro Glam Trend

The retro glam trend is picking up steam in and around Hollywood…and all over the country! We’ve seen this trend recently on various singers and actresses, most often done with a deep side part and sleek waves, and polished makeup and an uber-glam gown to complete the look. We saw it pop up on a few celebs at the CMAs earlier this month and now, just this week at the American Music Awards, as seen here on Selena Gomez. Want to get Selena’s look?the steps to recreate her style…plus the steps for another version of this hot look as seen on Jenny McCarthy.

SELENA GOMEZ.

1. Apply Volumizing Mousse on wet hair.

2. Blow dry hair in small sections from nape to crown with medium round brush, hold into a curl and apply heat thoroughly.

3. When you remove the brush, spray a bit of volumizing spray, and hold curl in place with a clip until it cools down; continue all over the head.

4. Once hair has cooled, remove clips, and if need be, curl some sections with a medium barrel curling iron. Apply a few drops of a shine serum.

5. Part hair to the side, lightly tease the crown for a bit of hold, and brush hair to the side, tucking a piece behind the ear. Finish with a medium hold spray.
