Dull, lifeless, damaged, disagreeable hair. Is that your hair right now?

No fear the Hairtamer is here. 

I want to share a few mask and how they can help you bring that hair back to life. 

Rules to Mask:

1. Must be used Once a week Consistently 
2. Must leave- in for at-least 10 min
3. Used after Shampoo
4. Only Apply on damp or towel dried hair not wet
5. Add a shower cap or Plastic bag for heat in order to intensify 

This Verb mask $14 is what I call  Bueno , Bonito,  y  Barato!!! Not only does it work great but it has ingredients like Babassu Oil which nourish and Hydrate your hair.

Who is it for? If your hair is Fine / Med and any texture . I use it on my hair. 
​What does it do? Hydrate your hair without making it oily

Briogeo Mask $26 is an amazing due to its moisture and reconstructive properties.
Who is it for? If your hair is curly or you bleach or dye your hair a lot or go to the beach or pool often. 
What does it do? ingredients like avocado, argan oil, almond oil, keratin protein, rose hip oil, and a bunch of vitamins — B5, D, A, and E, Basically restores your hair back to healthy.

Salerm Wheat Germ Mask $24 is ideal for anyone who has Really really damaged hair or does chemical straighteners.
Who is it for? Anyone with thick hair that is looking to restore Moisture
What does it do? Restores moisture leaving hair hydrated

Please read the rules as no product will create a miracle unless it cost a lot more money or done at a salon by a Stylist. But if you maintain your hair with a mask at least once a week you will have no problems with dry brittle hair. As always if you have questions message me I'm always happy to help.

So you want to be Rubia?
 
Like really really Blonde?
 
Please Read below if Interested in Blonde Ambition:

• Bring a picture, but be smart about it. "Please look for inspiration on people who have similar eye and skin coloring,"


• "Otherwise, that exact color probably won't look good."


• Patience- It takes time to get to the desired blonde of your choice. Be patient with your stylist, when going lighter and understand that you might have to live with a color that is "in between" what you're hoping to achieve for a few weeks. Dark hair is naturally going to lift to warmer tones, especially if it has old box color on it, so you are most likely not going to be an "ash" blonde until you're closer to the lightest blonde shade. However, it should still be a pretty color in the process. Just might not be the color you had in mind.


• What is your blonde budget? Going blonde requires maintenance. If you are going to do it, make sure you can afford the upkeep every four to 12 weeks, depending on the desired blondness and your existing natural color.


• Be Honest- Your stylist will ask you questions about your hair history. We're not doing this for fun, we need to know exactly what was done to your hair previously, as far back as you can remember. Knowing how many times you've put color all over your hair, or how many times you've gone dark to light and then back again, will let us know how easy or difficult it will be to get you light and also tells your stylist which products to use on your hair. Major key in getting what you want.
• Going from brunette to blonde is a long process, so set aside 4-6 hours. And sometimes longer depending on the condition of your hair. So if you don’t like to sit for long periods of time make sure and bring something to do.


• Be sure not to freak out when you see the color in between the steps - the second application of bleach and toner will finish the job.


• Use hair oil, hair masks and deep conditioner a few times a week to restore natural oils to your hair fibers. Also, do not shampoo your hair everyday since this process is dehydrating, cut back and do every third day. Product lines Such as Alterna make specifics color lines with proper treatments.


• If you're auburn or dark red: You'll probably need to schedule three appointments to healthily achieve blonde.




• Still Have questions? Comment below and Hairtamer will make sure and get back to you.

So you woke up and you want a change. Or better yet you went through a life changing experience and are ready to make some changes. Maybe you are just impulsive and enjoy changing it up…whatever the case have no fear the Hairtamer is here!!! Often times I blog about what to do after a color service so I wanted to take the time and blog about what to do before one.

 

1.    Clarifying Shampoo will strip your hair of any color or product you might have. If you plan on going lighter this is a great tool to use to help remove product and build up from the hair. I advise using this in conjunction of a mask or deep condition treatment.

2.    Deep Condition. No matter what type of hair you have deep conditioning leading to your color service will help your hair not only with the actual color service but it will also hold color a lot better.

3.    Please don’t wash your hair on the day of service. Depending on the color service the color will have contact with your skin so having that extra buildup will help you during the service

4.    Be upfront. Your hair history is very important so please share all your hair details during the consultation. That box you used 3 years ago, yes it still there.

5.    Research. Look at photos of what you would like your hair to look like. Oftentimes I tell my clients to find a muse. A celebrity or public figure whose hair they admire. The more photos the better understanding our stylist will have of what you expect.

6.    What if I hate it? If the damage is severe like your hair fell off or its orange or its breaking or it feels like hay you should really ask for a complementary re-do or a portion of the service to be reimbursed. If you just don’t like it because it’s shocking or not your personal style then you should seek another stylist.

 

At the end of the day BRING HEALTHY HAIR..The healthier the hair the more the stylist can do and the better the results. Also keep in mind sometimes it takes more than one booking to get what you want so be patient.

I love Agucaté aka Avocado. I can eat one a day ..its sort of like the same love I have for Platanos. However from time to time they go bad before I can eat them ...when you live alone this tends to happen more often. This is how I have found my passion on making my own organic beauty products at home. Its a fun way to be creative and beautiful and have a snack at the same damn time. 

Step One

Avacado and Extra virgin Olive oil...The more oil the more creamy the consistency. Most people say to measure I say pour as much as you think you need. My hair is really dry so I used a-lot. And notice how the avocado is brown, the more brown the more creamy the mask. I like to cut them and let them sit in my fridge for a day so they get dark but not hard. But you can do as you like just make sure its brown and not green. 

Step Dos

I then took this lemon and squeezed all the juice into my Olive Oil and Avacado Mixture. 

 I then Mixed it up in my Nutri bullet. If you don't have one just mix it like cake batter but make sure to make it as creamy as possible. This BTW it taste so good, but it was for my hair so I did not eat any of it. It kind of looked like newborn baby poop if you have ever seen that.(insert emoji) 

I tried to apply the mask on dry hair just so it could penetrate better. That was no bueno so I had to wet my hair just a bit and it made it easier to apply. I then put on a shower cap and took a hot shower for about 20-30 minutes. You have two options...you can lightly shampoo and condition right after you shower...or you can sleep with the shower cap and wash out the next day. 

If you do this mask once or twice a week for about two months you will see a significant change in your hair. 


Question?????? Please comment and thank you for reading ....
