Healthy Hair and Styling Tips

You see the covers of magazines or watch TV and you notice that all the women have beautiful hair. There is no frizz, it shines, and it seems to stay in place. I have had many people sit in my chair and show me a picture and say, “I want to look like that!”. Let’s be realistic unless you have a stylist, lighting expert, and a makeup artist, it’s not going to happen. However, you can have beautiful hair if you take care of it and know the tricks of styling. You can also have glowing skin that will have you looking like you should be on a cover of a magazine.

Let’s Talk Hair:

These are some of my favorite tips that I give everyone. You are training yourself so be patient and do not expect perfection the first time. Practice makes perfect and 21 days of practice makes a habit!

1. Make sure your shampoo and conditioner is made for your hair type.
2. When shampooing your hair, massage your scalp with the pads of your fingers (NOT your nails). This stimulates the scalp and gets the blood flowing creating better hair growth, plus it feels wonderful!
3. Keep up with your trims. You should be trimming your hair every 6-8 weeks even if you are growing it out.
4. Use a wide toothed comb to comb out tangles in wet hair. Always start at the bottom and work your way up to the roots to prevent breakage.
5. Do not rub the towel through your hair to get the wet out, instead squeeze the towel around hair multiple times.
6. Use the proper product. You will always hear me say product, product, product! The product should be able to help you create your desired look. Example: If your hair is very fine a mousse is light and won’t weigh it down and give you the lift you need.
7. Use product correctly, a product like mousse should be emulsified in your hands and then applied.
8. Looking for lift? Be sure to get your product on the roots
9. Use the right tools. Your styling tools can make a world of difference. One of the most important tools is a blow dryer, like the Infiniti Pro by Conair 3Q Styling Tool. You can get your entire look with a blow dryer if you take the time.

Let’s Talk Blow Drying

I was sent the Infiniti Pro by Conair 3Q Styling Tool and I was impressed. I normally buy a professional blow dryer in order to achieve the look wanted by my clients. Looking for lift? Blow dry your hair as your head is upside down. Get the wet out and then start at the roots guiding the hair in the direction you want it to go. If you have curly hair use a diffuser to eliminate frizz.

Face tips that are a must!

I was more than happy to try the True Glow Sonic Skincare Solution brush because although I take care of my skin, I feel my pores are larger than I’d like. After just one use, pores are 30% less visible. Sonic technology powers this high-performance cleansing brush at 300 oscillations per second. Without irritation, it unclogs pores and washes away the embedded dirt and oil that can cause breakouts and dull, patchy, tired-looking skin. This phenomenal sonic brush prepares skin to absorb moisturizers better–and fully moisturized skin is radiant skin. Regular use of the Sonic Skincare Solution leaves skin feeling healthier and looking its best.
