This is a Thing

Lately I've been seeing ladies wearing headbands a little differently. At first I saw them on a couple of women at a Paul Mitchel class. Then I started seeing them for sale at the supply house. Now one of the gals at the salon has started wearing the style.
It looks cool!
 
 
Some girls are wearing them across their foreheads and some wear them above the hairline.
 

 
 
The style can be casual or glamorous!
 
 
 
Some would say that it's a throwback to the 70s. The style does have kind of a flower child feel to it.
 

Cher rocked it.
 
 
When I first saw the style it reminded me of the 20s.

 
 
Whatever your take on it, give it a try. Add your own spark to a new-old style.
Rock it.
Own it.
Fearlessly.

Brazillian Blowout! OMG!!!

Hello, all! Let me begin by sending you my sincerest apologies for neglecting my blog for OVER A YEAR. Sometimes life just steam rolls over you and you just go on. I want to keep up with this blog and give you all fun things to read and think about so I promise you I will work on keeping my posts current and regular from now on.

Now on to the good stuff....

Who has problems with frizz? Most of us, really, especially if you have curly hair. Brazilian Blowout is a smoothing treatment for frizzy or curly hair.

It is NOT a relaxer, though on some people it does reduce the curl. The product works by creating a protective protein layer around each hair, smoothing the cuticle and eliminating the frizz.  the treatment not only doesn't damage the hair, it actually leave the hair healthier.  The treatment only takes 90 minutes to 2 hours time and the results last for 12 weeks. Another great thing about this treatment is that it gradually fades off rather than creating a root line like a relaxer would.  I've had clients tell me that getting a Brazilian Blowout has changed their lives. It is awesome to not have to spend an hour to make your hair look presentable. All the time saved is priceless!
To maintain your Brazilian Blowout there is a line of shampoos and styling products designed specifically to keep your Blowout looking beautiful for as long as possible. Its super important to take home at least the shampoo and conditioner. These products are sulfate free and contain a blend of natural antioxidants that conditions your hair cuticle, ensuring that every time you wash and condition your hair, you'll give it a healthy boost of nutrients that compliment and extend the life of your smoothing treatment while adding shine and flexibility.

Yesterday I did a Brazilian Blowout on Bekah. She has naturally curly hair that has damage from color and heat styling. Frizz and damage have been big issues for her.


It was a mess. She complained about always having to spend up to two hours to blow it out and straighten it. She would end up using her flat iron a lot which then caused more damage and led to even more frizz. This created a vicious cycle for her in the care and management of her hair. 
After I did the Brazilian Blowout treatment, I began to blowdry her hair without using a brush. It was amazing how smooth her hair was just rough drying! When her hair was dry, I only needed to flat iron a little through the top to achieve the silky straight look she likes to wear.

Another cool thing about the Brazilian Blowout is that after the service is done there is no waiting period. You can do whatever you want with your hair after its done and it won't affect the result. So we put her hair up in a nifty bun with the back french braided up.
It's a really great way to keep the hair off the neck.

You can get color and a Brazilian Blowout in the same day and the Brazilian will actually seal in your color and prevent fading, making it last longer. It's such a cool treatment!

Call or email me (see appointments page) if you are interested in learning more about this unique service.
