Dawn’s fresh new summer haircut

Dawn is our Salon Manager and desperately wanted a fresh and easy cut that would work with her curly hair. So we decided to shorten it and add some fun and workable layers.

Tips for Summer Curly Hair

Tips for Summer Curly Hair-
 1. Swap out your shampoo.   Most shampoos contain sulfates, harsh detergents that are frequently found in dish-washing liquid and laundry detergent. Sulfates strip hair of its natural oils, which can be disastrou…s for curly hair because it leads to frizz and dryness.
 2. Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize!   Each hair follicle is home to a sebaceous gland, which releases an oily substance that lubricates the hair. Since curly-haired people have fewer hairs on their heads than people with naturally straight hair, they have fewer sebaceous glands to produce oil. The tighter the curls are, the harder it is for the oil to reach their ends. Avoid conditioners with silicones. Many curly girls prefer to have conditioner remain in their hair rather than wash it out.
 3. Don’t over brush! A hairbrush strips hair’s cuticle of its natural moisture and leaves your locks frizzed and frayed – try running your fingers through your hair instead.
4. Use a gel that doesn’t stick.   Gummy gels will dehydrate your tresses. Try before you buy by rubbing a small amount on your palm. If it makes your hands sticky, it will do the same to your curls. No one wants crunchy hair, or sticky hands for that matter; look for a cream-based styling product that will condition your locks.
5. Skip washing for a weekend
If there’s one equation that we curly girls will never forget, it’s that humidity + curls = unmanageable frizz. Skip the shampoo for three days; your scalp naturally adjusts its oil production to compensate within the first week.

Rainy Day hair tips

Rainy weather can really spoil a perfect hair style. So here are some tips for your hair for rainy days,

-Don’t hide hair with hats or scarves -Pull hair up in pony tails or a sleek bun -If you aren’t the type of person who likes to tie your hair up, you can just leave it down but you will need to prevent the frizz by using a hair serum or oil -Avoid using mousses, wax and diffusers as this will make your react to the humidity and will mess up your hairstyle – Frizzy hair from humidity will arise from dry hair.  Rain will penetrate into the dry hair that needs moisture and will pump each hair strand which will result in a big frizzy hair-do.  A deep conditioner or a Redken Shot treatment will do a fantastic job.This will create a protective layer on your hair which can reduce the frizz.
