Hair Care in Humid climate


Hair Care in Humid climate
Whatever your hair type, your hair swells and expands when it's wet and behaves in the same way in a humid climate, where the air is full of moisture. Humidity will make hair fluffy and, if it's prone to curling, it will cause frizziness. All hair types will benefit from a pre-holiday conditioning treatment in the salon to nourish the hair shafts and seal the cuticles. Preventing excess moisture from entering the hair shaft in a humid climate is key.
Hair Care for Fine hair in Humid climate
This tends to get weighed down by the moisture in the air and looks flat and limp. Just as with other hair types, you need to block out the humidity if you can. A pre-holiday salon treatment will help to reduce split ends and close the cuticles that allow water to enter the hair shaft. Use a light leave-in conditioner on your hair while you are away (apply it from mid-way down the length of your hair to the ends) and seal the ends of the hair after blow-drying with a serum.
Be careful not to use too much serum on fine hair - a blob the size of your thumbnail is more than enough, hairsprays are a great SOS option for a bad-hair day in humidity - they instantly hold down the cuticle of the hair and prevent moisture from entering the hair shaft.
Care for Curly and frizzy hair in Humid climate
Sealing the outside of your hair - the cuticle - is the only way you will minimize the candyfloss look while you are away. A pre-holiday deep-conditioning treatment is a must. Make sure you pack a creamy leave-in conditioner for your trip and use it religiously every morning. Using an anti-frizz serum will help bring unruly curls to heel. It coats the hair shaft with silicone, not only sealing the cuticle but also weighing the hair down a little.
If your hair is really frizzy, try working some serum through it while it is still wet before blow-drying. This should add some weight to the curls and seal the cuticles so that your hair does not absorb water, swell and frizz again as it dries. If you decide to go with the flow and make the most of your curls while you're away, mix gel and serum together in the palm of your hand and apply it throughout the hair to give the curls extra definition and shape.

How to Style Poofy Hair


How to Style Poofy Hair


Put down that flat iron! It's only making your poofy hair worse!


Steps


1. If your hair naturally curly, you should stop washing it with shampoos that contain sodium laureth/lauryl & ammonium laureth/lauryl sulfate, they dry out the hair terribly, making your hair puffier, and bigger.
2. Use a wide toothed comb to detangle hair when wet.
3. Use a good moisturzing conditioner.
4. If you can, try not to use silicones, they build up on the hair, and you need sulfates to remove them, which dry out your hair. Any ingredient that ends in -cone or -xane is a silicone. (Some common ones are dimethicone, cylmethicone, and amodimethicone. Amodimethicone is a lot easier to remove)
5. Use a a diffuser if you blowdry your hair.
6. If you do shampoo, use ones with ingredients like these: Apricotamidopropyl Betaine and Cocoamidapropyl Betaine. Activate makes a good one.
7. DON'T TOUCH YOUR HAIR WHILE IT'S DRYING! Touching it will make it frizzy. Plus, it will make your hair expand.


Tips* Don't flat iron your hair, it's one of the worst things you can do!* If you want your curls to look a little looser, try putting a clip at then end of it while it dries, it weighs it down.* Try getting the book, "Curly Girl" by Lorriane Massey, it's excellent.Warnings * Don't put the blow dryer on high because sometimes the diffuser will pop off and could hit your head. Always use the warm or cool setting.

I continue the relaxed feeling in our hair salon by getting to know my clients and opening up a dialogue about their vision for their hair by getting to know who they really are. I always strive to create an environment in which my clients are at ease to express themselves and their ideas. It is my goal to help every hair client find a style that is a true fit for their hair type, and one that the client can easily replicate at home. I also believe you can never stop learning in this industry so I stay current with the lastest hair trends so I am able to cater to my wide range of clientele. I have experience with styling for photos or wedding updos, up to date haircut and styles for our youth, grandma's weekly shampoo set, and coming up with that versatile yet easy hair style for the mother on the go.

Hairstyles For Men and Women


Hairstyles For Men and Women

Every decade brings new hair styles and trends and someone has got to stay on top of it all. Who keeps tabs on the latest looks, learning to cut, style and even create them? Look no further than hairstylists and hairdressers. Regardless of what’s in--long or short, feathered fringes or shags--hairstylists are the people who snip, clip, and flip our hair into the newest styles and shapes.

Trained to handle a variety of hair types, a good stylist can transform a client’s drab, shapeless, and unflattering hair into a shiny beautiful and flattering style. Hair stylists must have a flair for design and an understanding of fashion, but they must also be able to run a tight ship on the business side of things, since there are many practical tasks associated with this work--keeping client records, making appointments, and marketing to new customers. Hairstylists who run their own salons also have to hire, supervise, and fire staff, as well as keep business records, order supplies, and arrange advertising. In the course of a day, a hairstylist’s duties can involve not only shampooing, cutting, perming, and blow-drying hair, but performing corrective coloring, straightening curly or kinky hair, or perming and crimping straight hair. Stylists must also clean up before and after each service is performed. Many stylists also sell hair products and other cosmetic supplies. Traditionally, hair stylists worked with women, while men went to barbers. Increasingly, however, stylists work with men as well as women and must be expert in both kinds of cutting and styling.
How they spend their time:
Talking to clients to find out what kind of style they want
Deciding how to achieve a look that will be both flattering and what the client wants
Shampooing, cutting, styling, perming, and coloring hair
Advising clients on hair care
Selling hair care products
Attending ongoing training classes in fashion, technique, and product use

Choosing the Hair Style that best suits your face shape.
Before you browse any further we recommend that you read through this advice on choosing a hairstyle that will compliment your face shape.
Firstly you need to determine what shape your face actually is. It may not be one exact type, in fact it will more than likely be a mixture of two or maybe even more but it should resemble one more the others
In front of a mirror, pull your hair off your face by wetting it and combing it back or tying it at the back
Take a pace away from the mirror or, use a photograph of yourself facing straight into the camera with your hair off your face.
Draw an outline of your face with lipstick on the mirror, on transparent paper or on the photo itself.
Have your stylist take a look at the photo or outline and offer suggestions that will be right for you.
