Bring in the New Year with Gorgeous Hair



Healthy hair is key to beautiful hair and the key to healthy hair is maintenance.  Regular hair cuts every 3 to 4 months at least are a must, even if your growing your hair long. Without regular haircuts or trims hair will become dry, brittle and eventually split from the bottom up. The longer a good trim is put off the higher up the hair strand the split goes. There is no miracle treatment that will repair split ends or damaged hair. The purpose of hair treatments is to maintain the health of your hair so it never gets to that point. There are many different types of hair treatments such as hot oil treatment for generally healthy hair to replenish moisture and shine. Hair masques are for hair needing a bit more moisture along with reconstructing properties. Protein treatments are for hair that has been over processed. A simple strand test done will help tell which treatment is best to start with and often rotating between protein and moisture treatments is a nice balance for hair. Hair treatments on normal hair is best done monthly, for more dry/damaged hair it is best done on a weekly basis. While there are many types of hair treatments sold in beauty supply stores and retail stores there is no comparison to products sold only to liscenced professionals paired with a hair dryer or steamer to help open the hair shaft for better absorption of particular treatments.
As far as hair color goes, stripy all over highlights, flat brunettes, and dull reds are to be a thing of the past. If your someone who is new to hair color a few strategically placed foils will enhance your color and add dimension to your hair. Blonds are going full array, with subtle hints of icy cool and warm golden blonde tones blended seamlessly for an unparalleled blonde. Think rich velvety browns with a few carmel highlights just around the face for brunettes. Wether its deep or bright, reds need to be vivid!
