So we are about to head into a much needed and very deserved holiday weekend, one that the government decided a few years ago would be a nice addition to out list of already great holidays! Well, while our minds and bodies need to rest I am sure that for some if not most of our readers hair needs it too. All the styling and primping and prodding can and should come to a rest this weekend. I mean your sitting on the couch and chillin with the fam, do you really need to have that hair all smoothened and flat ironed out? I will venture to guess not!
So, having said that lets take a sec to look at some of the ways to be treating your hair this weekend. For most of us a little moisture slash protein combo never hurts, so why not try using a Moroccan or Macadamia Oil treatment for seven minutes in the shower this weekend. The combination of protein and moisture is seldom found with such great balance as in these two great lines. The key ingredient in both products is the Argan Oil. An oil extracted from the Argan seeds of Morocco, it has a fantastic balance of being high in omegas creating dense and rich protein, while leaving the hair feeling softer and more moist than ever before. The objective here is not to sell product but to let you know that when you are having a hard time finding the ideal moments to treat your hair you MUST take full advantage of stat holidays! You need rest.... ALL of you!
THIS! This shot pretty much sums up the time period and era that we in salons are currently bringing back to life. I know that I included a shot of a pretty Parisien woman smoking a cig, but come on does anything sum up this period better?! I mean the pin curls, the deep skip waves, the chignons, and french rolls, AWW what a time to be a busy little stylist.
The wave of trend right now has taken us into a period that we first saw in the 20`s and then saw repeated in the 60`s. A period where women were whole heartedly "pin ups", in every sense of the word they looked perfect and exuded perfection. The amount of time that was taken to achieve the looks they wore with regularity was very excessive, and therefore for done in salon for the most part. It was very common for a woman of that period to have her hair styled on a Tuesday at a professional salon and leave it until that Saturday night. They would get some serious self life out of there styles because they would absolutely pummel themselves with a chemical shower of spray and setting lotion!
Other styles common of that period were softer and more natural, provided you were a woman who already had that texture of hair. It was easier on those ladies because they were able to avoid the whole step of setting curl into their hair before they styled it. This is a period that most confident stylists are very happy to recreate because it became the basis of our basic education in styling school.
Embrace it ladies, and PLEASE allow me to help you by coming in and having us do the work! It would be our pleasure. If any one has any questions they would like answered on how to create this curl by yourself, or quick ways to achieve these timeless looks drop me a line and I would LOVE to get back to you!
This is a video I found extremely helpful and interesting... This is THE way to create phenomenal and smooth wave and curls without using any heat or damaging your hair in any way. I would recommend some light workable hairspray but that`s it...
