1.START FROM WITHIN

Healthy hair will never happen if your diet isn’t giving you the vitamins you need. If you’re hair is perpetually dry  start drinking more water or add vitamin supplements into your routine in order to kickstart growth, or repair damage. I personally take Biotin and add supplements to my morning smoothie.


2. TURN DOWN THE HEAT AND USE PROTECTION

Turn the temperature setting on your hair dryer, flatiron and curling down or skip them altogether if you can. Also, always use a heat-protectant, in addition to warding off damage from your hot tools, protects your hair from external damage like sun and saltwater.


3.TREAT DAMAGE EARLY AND OFTEN

Develop a treatment plan and stick to it. People who have beautiful hair and skin have a regime of treatments they swear by and am constantly using them.  If you want to prevent or treat heat damage you have to not only try several treatments you also have to stick to them and use them regularly. 


4. DETOX YOUR LOCKS

Removing Build up from you hair is very neccesary when you use everyday products. Products  like   DevaCURL build up buster that gets rid of build up without stripping your color.

5. ADD GLOSS TO THE FINAL LOOK

Finishing Serums and Sprays are like the top coat on your nails. You need them in order to complete your look. I love Kenra Finishing serum . Not only does it work on all hair types but it smells amazing.

5. If none of the above works ........its time for a trim..

​CHAMPU
 
IF you’re like me you have a dilemma of what shampoo to use. In todays overly saturated market it’s really hard to choose. I have tried my best to narrow it down to a few. Please keep in mind you can always change it up. As a matter of fact change is actually really good when it comes to hair products. I like to switch mine out every time I go through a bottle and try something new.
 
Clarifying Shampoo
 
What does it do?
 Literally clarifies your hair of everything including color. This is what stylist use right before any treatment or chemical process to make sure they eliminate any traces of color.
 
When should I use it?
If your trying to go from brunette to blonde or trying to get rid of a color in your hair and if you just want to remove any and all build up from you hair.
 
Purple Shampoo
 
What does it do?
Neutralize the Yellow and Orange pigments in your hair. Helps your blonde stay vibrant and not brassy and go in-between glossing treatments longer.
 
When should I use it?
Once a week or when you’re transitioning from dark to light to keep brassy shades away.
 
Reparative or Restorative Shampoo
 
What does it do?
Usually this contains some type of protein or keratin or B vitamins in the formula. This repairs the hair to its regular state and helps fortify the hair with the nutrients it needs to maintain its integrity and elasticity.
 
When should I use it?
If you are always changing up your hair color you should use this and if you feel that your hair is not growing. If your taking meds or don’t take supplementary vitamins for your diet you should also consider using this. It’s always a good idea to keep it in rotation.
 
 
 
 
 
Hydrating or Moisturizing Anti Frizz
 
 
What does it do?
 
Basically made up of some type of oil and so it coats the hair and soothes it down. Perfect for someone with thicker hair or that deals with frizz.
 
When should I use it?
If you have thicker hair you should use it when you plan to not wash your hair for a long period of time. Using it too often will create build up and can make hair feel heavy and weighed down.
 
Volume  – Oily Hair
 
 
What does it do?
 
Gets rid of build up but doesn’t dry out your hair like a clarifying shampoo. It’s usually a light formula that literally just washes your hair and has no heavy ingredients that will weigh the hair down.
 
When should I use it?
You should use it every time you wash your hair or if you are traveling and washing your hair often it’s a great shampoo to use.
 
 
In the end you can use all these shampoos or switch them out depending on your hair needs at the moment. A bigger price tag translates to better ingredients and organic means long-term results. As usual ask your stylist for suggestions always.

   That moment when you get a glance at your curls and you cringe. Maybe its your scalp flaking or maybe your blonde hair is green. I have a cure for all three. Vinegar Rinse.

Its actually really simple to use ...Wash your hair with  Shampoo, Rinse, Condition or Deep condition Rinse. Towel Dry your hair.
Dilute or right from the bottle and focus on your scalp. Make hair damp with Vinegar Rise and Comb thru and then style as desired. I prefer to air dry.

Repeat once a week or every other week depending on how much product you use. so if you wear curly once a week if not bi- weekly.

1. Dry Shampoo and when your done use more….I love dry shampoo as much as I love ice cream and I really love ice cream. Spray about 2 inches away from the scalp but Directly on the scalp not on your ends. Now shake it off like the song “Pelo Suerto" by Gloria Trevi

​

• Top Bun is the best way to look good and avoid washing your hair. Make sure and use some hairspray medium hold to take care of the fly away’s and your all set.
• Braid …any kind of braid is a great way to look great and avoid actually styling your hair!
• Head Bands are like the girl version of wearing a baseball cap. The possibilities are endless and it a great accessories to any outfit. I love them and make sure you get the ones that double as scarfs so you can use them year round.
• Pony Tail is the most underrated hairstyle and abused hairstyle in the universe. Do you realize how many ways and how fancy a pony tail can make you look? You can do a high one like Beyoncé at the met gala or a low one with a side part like a Kardashian …..Maybe you’re a half up half down like Arianna Grande. Make it your own and make it Polished.

I get this question all the time when someone tells me a stylist promised her highlights on her black hair and no bleach. I say yes ok because pigs can fly......=)
Chemically this is impossible if you have black to dark brown hair. If you are a natural light brown to Blonde than yes this is completely possible.

Are they the same thing?

Yes they are the same thing depending on the formula the stylist is using it can have the same consequences on your hair.

Whats the best way to go blonde and not have damage?

So when I saw the pigs fly I was like No WAY!! I kid …..So going blonde is expensive and high maintience there is no way around it unless your born blonde and stay that way. You must ..MUST keep that hair conditioned and keep up the color. Trying to go in between appointments for long periods of time is not a way to be a healthy blonde. That’s what will make you a unhealthy blonde.

• Book Once a month or once every other month depending on how fast your hair grows
• Once every three months book a deep conditioning treatment
• Trim every three month
• If you can afford clip on’s of a lighter blonde get them to add that pop of dimension you want without damaging your actual hair
• Invest in a hair regime, Shampoo, Mask, Leave – In ext.
• Invest in amazing hot tools they will make all the difference
• Air dry and braid as often as possible
• The beach is your friend…salt water is your friend and so is a mask right after

Thank You for reading I hope you learned something new…as usual if you have a question comment below and I will include it in my next Blog.
