Amazing Hair  

Here you will find the best tips for all hair types, plus a summer hair care special!

If you have…

Fine, Straight Hair

You should always have a few long layers, this will suit your hair best and give it some shape.  As fine hair tends to just “hang,” try a shorter cut.  Be sure to ask about styling tips from your hair stylist, they will tell you how to recreate the salon look they just gave you.  Don’t be shy about asking questions.

Keep product to a minimum as it weighs down the hair, especially avoid heavy serums and oily products.  Look for “volumizing” products, or ones that will add body.  Buy products specifically made for fine hair, they tend to have lighter weight ingredients.

Shampoo and Conditioner – use light weight shampoos and conditioner that promise body or volume.  You still need conditioner just use the light weight formulas.  Skipping conditioner leads to breakage, split ends and super dryness, which hinders styling.

How To – use a volumizer on the roots and blow dry with a medium round natural bristle brush.  To add a few curls for definition finish off with a medium barrel curling iron.

Oily Hair

If you have oily hair, you need to cleanse with a clarifying shampoo or one made specially fir oily hair.  You still need to condition but only do the ends, keep conditioner away from the scalp.

Curly Hair

You want very few long layers.  Short layers create “Poof” (think poodle).  Stick to blunt ends.  You will definitely benefit from serums.  If your curls have some weight to them, they tend to be less frizzy.

How to: let hair air dry with serum as often as possible, this is the best method.  If you absolutely have to blow dry, use low heat and the diffuser attachment.  Always use a wide tooth comb.

Always use a curl shampoo and conditioner.  They have moisturizers perfect for curls and aren’t super heavy. 

Medium Wavy hair

Keep it long with some long layers that angle the face.  You are blessed with amazing hair genes, you can use pretty much anything on your hair.  Try to use anything that is moisturizing, especially if your hair is color treated.

Your curling iron is your best friend.  Define waves with a large barrel curling iron.

Ethnic Hair Types

Most likely your hair is dry and prone to breakage, but your scalp may be oily.  You may also have it chemically relaxed and colored.  If this is the case you need hydration but not necessarily extra oil. There are such a wide range of products specifically designed for your hair type. Your stylist will be able to show you your options.  Just remember to take good care of your hair, try to avoid relaxing and coloring in the same day and don't over wash hair.

Whether you straighten, color or braid you need to take good care of your hair.  Always follow your hair stylists recommendations, and keep up with your regular trims.

The newest buzz in hair care right now is Moroccan oil.  I'm totally in love with this product.  The brand Moroccan Oil also has a wide range of products such as curl creams that have the oil in them.  Try it!  You'll love it!
