About: RemySoft

If you’re like any fashion-focused person, you’ve likely moved on from 2015’s trends and are eager to see what 2016 has in store. Despite how early it is in the year, a number of hot looks have emerged for anyone to try. However, you may be curious as to how 2016’s most recent trends compare to the greatest looks from 2015. We were certainly curious, and so we wrangled a few looks from this year and the last to see what’s changed and what has stayed the same.

Multicolored Dye Jobs

While this look requires oodles of quality hair care, it has gained massive appeal among the young adult crowd. This look has remained popular in both 2015 and 2016, but the execution has changed. Stylists have swapped out streaking your whole head with a rainbow of bright colors with subtle, peekaboo underlights. Underlights involve dyeing only the bottom layer of your hair and is a wonderfully unique way to pull off new hair colors. Best of all, they totally work in professional environments for those of you whose individuality is stifled by your 9 to 5.

Finding Your Roots

A great sulfate free shampoo keeps your hair looking great.

You might fondly remember the ombre trend that swept over the hair styling community back in 2015. However, in 2016, two relative newcomers have arrived to dethrone the ombre look: bronde and balayage. Balayage is quite similar to ombre hair because it gradually transitions from dark to light, from roots to ends. However, balayage is far more gentler-looking in an almost sun-kissed sense. Bronde is a comparable phenomenon, combining brunette roots and blonde ends.

Braids

Leave in conditioner can enhance your braid.

While braids have always been popular, the way people wear them has shifted continuously throughout the decades. 2015’s braids were greatly inspired by popular culture. You would most often find, for example, a single braid blending into free-flowing locks. In 2016, people seem to prefer them in sleek, immaculate styles.

Waves

Quality hair care shows in the way your hair looks.

The wavy look is relaxing this year. Instead of fretting over getting your wave pattern perfectly neat, as was the norm with mermaid hair back during 2015, worry no longer! Now you can simply brush your day-old curls and carry on with your day.

Pastels

A leave in conditioner is required to keep hair beautiful.

Pastel hair is changing drastically as well. You now have the option of either using pastel colors as highlights to ash-colored hair, rather than jumping into brighter shades. Pink is also quickly replacing the grays that enraptured so many people during 2015. Regardless of what dye work you go with, be sure to wash your hair with a great sulfate free shampoo to preserve your hair health and help the color last!

We’re excited to see what else 2016 has to offer, and we hope you’re inspired by these current trends, as well as everything else to come! At RemySoft Solutions, we specialize in helping you look and feel your best by boosting your hair’s health. That’s why we offer only the best products, such as our leave in conditioner.

This may not be your first time hearing about “bronde” hair, the hair coloring trend making waves in 2016. Believe it or not, the latest sun-kissed look actually sprouted back in 2015 and has been most famously sported by actress Blake Lively. If you haven’t seen the picture of her wearing this hair color and have yet to have heard of “bronde” hair, you’ve come to the right place! We can fill you in on exactly what bronde hair is, how stylists create the look and how you can maintain it in the long run!

What Is Bronde Hair Anyway?

Bronde hair seems to be closely related to ombre, which took the last couple of years by storm, and balayage, which is rising in popularity alongside bronde. If you have naturally dark hair but aren’t sure whether blonde hair is for you, stylists commonly recommend adding blonde highlights into your hair and seeing how it looks. This is essentially what bronde is. Think of it as dark roots and lighter tints highlighting toward the tips of the hair, with both colors subtly weaving together. Many like it not just because of its noncommittal nature, but because it adds extra body to the hair in an attractive and organic-looking way.

How Is Bronde Hair Created?

Sulfate free shampoo and conditioner is great for all types of hair.

When you go to a salon, be sure to be specific with your stylist. Bronde hair is also known as “tortoiseshell,” and only refers to brunette hair highlighted with an assortment of lighter tints strewn throughout. Stylists can do this help you achieve this look through any number of ways, but the most common involve foil or the aforementioned balayage technique.

How Can I Take Care of My Bronde Hair?

If you’re the proud wearer of the bronde look, there are several things you can do to keep your color strong and vibrant. One of the first is to invest in sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. It’s easy to cause the coloring of your hair to fade due to excessive washing, as well as the wrong shampoo. Changing your washing technique is a fantastic method of providing sun protection for hair. When you’re looking for a shampoo, be sure to check whether it preserves hair coloring. You can also invest in a protective hair serum. This will serve to not only protect the color, but the overall health of your hair.

We hope you come away from this article with a little more knowledge and interest in bronde coloring and the amazing things it can do for your hair! At RemySoft Solutions, we specialize in formulating hair care tips and products to help your hair flourish. For more information on who we are and what we do, contact us. You deserve to have healthy, voluminous, great-looking hair, and we can help.

It’s difficult to look forward to spring when your hair’s anything but perfectly pin straight. Spring means warming temperatures and the transition from snow and frost to thick downpours of rain. Worst of all, this rain clings to warm, sunny air as moist humidity, a nightmare in the making for anyone with the desire to keep their curly locks manageable. If you’re reading this article, you likely struggle with this problem. We understand your pain, which is why we have suggestions on how to keep your hair tame in the face of spring moisture.

Why Does Humidity Affect My Hair Like This?

Leave in conditioner helps prevent frizz.

It isn’t just the weather! There are a number of reasons that come into play in terms of how your hair reacts to spring moisture.

• It’s just the way your hair is made. All hair is made up of proteins, just like it says on your shampoo bottle. The most important are the Paracortex and the Orthocortex. These proteins are responsible for handling any and all moisture that enters your hair, but they do it in ways that vary from one another. If your hair frizzes up in spring, it’s likely due to one of these proteins absorbing and expanding from the moisture, sending your strands haywire. It’s additionally been proven curly hair is far more prone to puffing out than straight hair due to differing structures.
• Your hairstyle’s influential – in more ways than one! Damaged hair is also prone to frizz. Over styling can quickly lead to split ends and other forms of damage that leave your hair vulnerable to the elements because the proteins your hair is made from end up pulled far longer than they should naturally stretch. This is especially common for people with long hair and a penchant for lots of brushing.

Is There Any Way I Can Tame My Hair?

The short answer is yes! You can easily control the way your hair responds to humidity in a large number of ways. The first involves washing your hair with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. A good shampoo and leave in conditioner can help protect your hair from the moisture by helping your hair absorb moisture better, essentially creating a shield to keep too much humidity from getting in. We also recommend investing in sun protection for hair. This comes in the form of oils, sprays and much more and can calm any frizziness that has already decided to make its entrance.

We hope these tips will help you better brave this spring and get your frizz under control! At RemySoft Solutions, we’ve made it our mission to help everyone have manageable, beautiful hair so they can feel great both outside and in. You’ll find products and other tidbits of advice for helping your hair look its best on our site. Feel free to contact us for more information about who we are and what we do!

If you’re like us, you may be curious and excited for all of the great hair trends destined to manifest over the course of 2016. 2015, as we all know, was full of wonderful and exciting trends, some of which have spilled into 2016 in retooled ways. Sources tell us, however, this spring will feature a multitude of new hairstyles and colors, as well as whatever else begins to bloom. We’ve already gathered a few of the hottest trends that have developed so far.

Last year you may have seen a lot of pastel hues decorating heads through dye or shiny hair extensions. The most popular colors last year were grays and violets, among many others. This year, you’ll be seeing a lot more pastels inspired by the shades you’d more commonly see in nature, such as greens the color of seafoam or turquoise and blues mirroring a warm spring sky. Best of all, you can find high-quality dyes for relatively cheap, if you’re interested in trying out this look for yourself!

Vintage Curls

Wavy hair started getting a little messier than usual toward the end of 2015, spilling into the beginning of 2016, but this seems to be making a change. You may be seeing this look morph into a more classic take with neat, glossy curls and waves much akin to what you’ve seen in photos of old film actresses. You can use any number of hair products for remy hair to achieve this look for a special night out or an especially formal work day.

Balayage

You may have heard of or even worn the older sister of this hair coloring technique: ombre. Balayage has only recently begun making waves among the hair styling crowd, winning favor due to its subtlety. Like ombre hair, balayage starts off dark at the roots and fades to lighter colors at the tips. However, the gradation of balayage coloring is considerably downplayed, creating more of a sun-kissed look your roots will adapt to more easily. It even works for hair colors beyond brunette to blonde!

Loose Waves

Hair products for remy hair keep hair healthy.

Laidback girls will appreciate this toned down version of the tighter, neater waves that overtook last year. This look works splendidly for hair that was curled the night before and retains that lax, loose feel overnight or hair with a natural, slightly curly pattern that can’t quite be tamed. Simply go over your hair with a brush and you’re done!

These are only a few hair trends that have come onto the spring 2016 scene. A wider array of styles lie on the horizon, both currently and beyond. To help you keep your hair at its best, we stock a wide array of products, including a great sulfate free shampoo. To learn more about our products and what we do, contact us!

Everyone can join in on the hair rejuvenation movement unfolding this spring, especially style-conscious men. In fact, we encourage men to consider this! Even the most subtle of style changes can leave you feeling great. The Spring 2016 collection showcased earlier in the year proves more than ever that men are paying closer attention to trends. If you’re a guy who’s interested in how you can up your style this spring, check out a list of some of the hottest men’s hair trends below. You may find your new favorite look!

Curls

What could be more attractive than a full head of thick, curly hair? If you have this particular hair texture, you’ve probably invested to some degree in quality hair care to keep your hair in great shape. Texturing happens to be in this season, and it can be done in any number of ways, depending on your particular hair texture. If your hair is extremely curly, we recommend running a pomade gel through your locks. For wavy-haired men, try hair mousse of the matte variety. Either way, your hair will be full of luxurious body and perfectly tousled!

Slicked Back

This hairstyle proves retro is still chic! To nail this hairstyle, all you need is mousse or gel and a comb. The gel is for creating a nice, glossy sheen, while the comb is perfect for taming every wayward strand or to create some texture to prevent your hair from looking more like a helmet. You can create this hairstyle in any number of ways, whether you choose to part it to one side or gel it all back completely. This look is a favorite of fashion designers, making it especially appealing for those of you who are especially trend-conscious.

Bangs

Women aren’t the only ones who can rock bangs. Men can pull them off too, albeit in different styles. If you’re partial to letting your hair grow out or have naturally straight hair, this look may be perfect for you. Just as with the other styles, you’ll need pomade or a gel of some sort. Use your fingers to work it through your hair after washing it with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner.

A Side Part

Quality hair care will help keep your new cut fresh.

While the side part has never quite gone out of style, we encourage those who haven’t tried this style out to give it a whirl. It is compatible with all hair textures and just takes a bit of mousse to accomplish. It’s also flexible. Part your hair however you want and experiment to see which look you like best. There’s no wrong way to pull off this style!

We hope you’ll come away from this article inspired to try a whole new style this spring. If you explore our site, you’ll find a large variety of other ways to prepare your hair for the new season, such as tips for sun protection for hair. If you have any concerns or are interested in our products, feel free to contact us!

As the winter cold dissipates and makes way for spring warmth and blossoming new life, you’re probably looking for a change as well. It’s far from uncommon to see people who want to freshen themselves up after dragging through the winter months. Why not start off the new season by livening up your locks? There are a number of things you can do to renew your hair as spring rolls in, and we can tell you all about them! Read on to find out what you can do to rejuvenate your hair this spring.

Add Some Cute Accessories

While accessories certainly work all year round, different accessories work best for different seasons. Spring is the perfect time to bust out bright colors and big, beautiful flowers to adorn your hair. However, it’s frustratingly easy to do this and wind up looking like a kindergartener. You want to look innocent but still like a mature adult. To remedy this, we recommend sticking to subtlety. Pick more muted colors and designs, such as smaller hair clips, to add a bit of sparkle to your hair or more washed out pastel shades.

Get a Seasonal Cut

Hydrating shampoo is a must in the summer.

Nature isn’t the only thing that dies off when winter rolls around. Your hair suffers from the cold temperatures and winter frost as well. You can remedy this by going to your salon of choice and requesting a stylist clip away the ends, which have likely lost a great deal of moisture thanks to the weather. Your hair will thank you for it by continuing to flourish!

Prepare for Spring Drizzles

Making sure your ‘do is ready to brave the rain is just as important as sun protection for hair. The extra moisture in the air makes your hair prone to frizz, which can ruin a great hairstyle in seconds. We recommend bypassing a hair disaster by bundling your hair into an updo. You’ll still look prim and stylish and any ill effects on your hair from the rain will be virtually unnoticeable!

Change Up Your Products

Because of the change in air quality, your hair no longer needs the extra boost in moisture it did during spring. This means you can stow away your hydrating shampoo and stick to something with a normal formula. Now is the perfect time to hunt for a great new leave in conditioner and shampoo, perhaps in that perfect springtime scent to leave your hair feeling especially fresh!

This isn’t all you can do to liven up your hair for spring, but we certainly hope it helps!

Our website is full of advice and products to keep your hair manageable and in enviable condition. Feel free to browse. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us.

As spring rolls in this year, you’ll likely be inspired by the burst of color sprouting all over and want to join in on all the fresh renewal unfolding before your eyes. You can do this the traditional way and update your wardrobe for the warmer months with bright colors or you can be a little different and apply these colors to your hair instead! New spring hair colors are in bloom like lovely flowers in 2016. Check them out for yourself and maybe you’ll find something you’ll love!

Dip Dyeing

Believe it or not, dip dyeing has yet to fall out of style. While this hair coloring technique may remind you more of your high school days, you’re never too old to join in on trends! It’s also the perfect solution for people who want a bit of new color in their hair but don’t want to apply it from root to tip. It’s also much easier to maintain because you won’t have to worry as much about touch-ups or those pesky roots beginning to show. You can get this done in any color you like, but unnatural colors seem the most popular.

Bright & Blonde

Quality hair care will keep your blondes bright.

Blonde hair will always remain a classic. However, this spring you’ll probably be seeing the return of sunnier shades of blonde in comparison to the pale, near-white blondes that have been more popular as of late. Strawberry and yellow blondes are especially in season, creating a great sense of vibrance and warmth that can work with all skin tones. Why not join in on this trend and brighten up your locks?

Burgundy

The best sulfate free shampoo is required for colored hair.

This color has enjoyed increasing popularity since the start of this year, mainly due to its ability to straddle the line between an unnatural Little Mermaid red and more commonplace hair colors. Stylists predict this color and other shades in the same family will be 2016’s defining hair color option.

A Touch of Cinnamon

This color choice is similar to the “bronde” trend in that it’s brunette combined with blonde. The difference, however, is in the shades. Stylists will apply warm, nutty browns to your hair and brush in sunny blonde highlights to help boost your hair’s body. Your hair will look gorgeously sunkissed!

Peekaboo Pigments

Shiny hair extensions can help you achieve these looks.

Much like blonde hair, unnaturally dyed hair will always be a staple. It’s only the shades that change, and darker, subtler shades are coming into style these days, often applied to only a portion of the hair for a bit of extra color. You can emulate the peekaboo look with shiny hair extensions if you don’t want to commit to any actual dyeing and still look great!

No matter what coloring technique you choose for your hair, you’ll have to treat it to quality hair care to keep it healthy and glowing. On our site, we have an ample selection of the best sulfate free shampoo. For more information on what we do and what we offer, contact us!

Spring is perhaps the most popular time for people to get haircuts and new styles altogether. We get why. With nature in full bloom and recovering from the dormancy of winter, it’s easy to get in the mindset of renewing yourself as well. Hairstylists have long caught onto this trend and are spilling all of the best news on this spring’s hottest new ‘dos, and we’ve gathered some of the best looks just for you! Read on for more details and maybe you’ll find a fresh look for yourself!

Babylights

Most appreciated for their subtlety, this look primarily encompasses a natural, gingery color with natural-looking bleached tips. The roots are left darker in a way that will blend easily with your hair as it grows out later. There is, however, an art to upkeep for hair in any shade of red, and once you dye it this color, you’ll be stuck with it for a while. We recommend using a sulfate free shampoo for your wash days. With proper care, this coloring technique should stay with you for six months, with professional touch-ups once every two months.

Bobs

Considered a traditional and much-loved look by many, a bob is a great spring haircut for those who’ve either let their hair grow or are looking for a neat trim. This spring, you should be on the lookout for a layered, wavy look, complete with long bangs in a blunt, neat cut. It should be easy to request, as well as for your natural hair texture to adapt to. You can even add subtle waves for a unique twist. For maintenance, we suggest trimming your bangs every so often and going in to the salon at least in two month intervals and get it cut.

Red

Hair products for remy hair will keep your hair bright

Everyone seems to be seeing red this spring! The best part is you can pick the perfect red for you from a large assortment of shades or even mix them together. We actually recommend mixing shades to help give your hair body, but just as with baby lights, you’ll need to wash your hair with sulfate free shampoo and get touch-ups to the color in at least four week intervals. Also, go easy on the water temperature and how frequently you wash. This can cause your red locks dwindle faster.

Bangs

Sulfate free shampoo is needed for beautiful hair.

Shag cuts are making a return this spring as well, paired with equally choppy bangs that are oh so chic! It’s the perfect look for those with curly hair because it tames your tresses, but maintains your volume in a gorgeous way. Your blow drying process is the key to maintaining great bangs. Simply keep a forward angle as you do so. Additionally, get your ends clipped within the space of three months to keep your hair healthy and looking great.

Throughout the 2010’s, both ombre and balayage have maintained sizable popularity—at least, for those who frequently color their hair. People who aren’t quite so hair-savvy or don’t have many fashion-oriented friends may not have heard of these coloring techniques. If they have, they may not know the differences between them and consider both styles interchangeable. However, there are a few key differences between these styles, which are important to know if you want to request one of them at your next salon appointment.

What Is Ombre?

“Ombre” comes from the French language and means “two-toned.” Ombre is a dyeing technique that creates a gradient effect on your hair, which is usually a gradual transition from dark to light and extends from roots to ends. This look is popular because it lends the effect the wearer has had a bleaching treatment performed upon their hair and let it fade over time, letting their dark roots gradually overtake the lightened parts. Some stylists only recommend this look for people with naturally dark hair. However, there are many variations for a wide variety of hair colors, even unnatural ones

The most important thing to keep in mind with respect to ombre hair is it is intense, both in look and the amount of maintenance it requires. You will have to spend a considerable amount of time in the salon to keep ombre hair fresh, which may not work for people who are already constantly on the go.

What Is Balayage?

Hydrating shampoo is needed when coloring your hair.

“Balayage” also comes from the French language and means “sweep.” The meaning of the word is quite literal because your stylist will apply this coloring technique to your hair by performing one large sweep over your hair, starting from the roots and pulling down toward your ends. Balayage looks similar to ombre because it’s usually a subtle shift from dark coloring to light. However, balayage is meant to look more natural, as if the sun’s rays have bleached your hair, rather than a hair stylist’s brush.

Stylists recommend you have at least shoulder-length hair for this look to take full effect. Compared to ombre, balayage is more subtle on all accounts. It looks more natural and requires less maintenance. You can let your hair grow out over time, and because there will be lighter streaks farther up your hair, the coloring will still look fairly unchanged.

As stated above, the difference between balayage and ombre is the severity involved. Balayage is more subtle and natural-looking than ombre hair and requires far less upkeep, which is good for busy people. At RemySoft Solutions, we carry an assortment of products to help your hair flourish, whether its colored or kept natural! Try our hydrating shampoo and leave in conditioner to nourish your hair. For further protection, you can rely on our protective hair serum.

Whether you’re in the market for a new salon because you’re dissatisfied with your old one or have relocated, finding just the right salon for your hair needs can be a difficult task. Depending on where you live, the number of salons to choose from alone can be overwhelming, leaving you with no idea where to start. Regardless of your situation, you no longer have to worry. We’ve gathered these tips on how to find quality hair care in a snap.

Keep Your Options Open

There’s no rush in terms of committing to one particular salon. If you go to one and don’t like the results, you always have the option of trying out another salon. However, if you decide to give them another shot, that’s also just fine. Be sure to tell the salon what you liked about their service and what you didn’t like. Feedback is never a bad thing.

Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Advice

If you have any friends in town, try asking them where they go to get their hair done. You may receive some great suggestions!

Shop Around

Find a salon that uses a great sulfate free shampoo.

Once you’ve managed to find a few great options, schedule an appointment with them for your next hair-related need. You can use this visit to evaluate how well they work for you and your hair! It’s a good idea to inform the salon of your search so they’ll give you the best service they can.

The Internet Can Help Your Search

Chances are the salons you come across will either have a social media account you can browse or a full-fledged official website. This can be a good chance to scope out what the salon has to offer because you’ll likely be able to find feedback from the salon’s clients, as well as a portfolio of the salon’s best work.

Be Sure to Do Your Research

You can use the Internet, as well as other resources, to get an idea of just what types of services the salon can perform. Some of them handle far more than just hair, while others are more simplistic. Depending on what you find, you may be able to take care of more than one need, which means you get that much more convenience!

Scope Out the Salon Personally

Doing this will give you a good idea of the salon’s atmosphere, something you can’t necessarily detect online. You want to be sure what type of clientele the salon caters to and the amount of business the salon receives on a regular basis, as well as how clean the salon is.

At RemySoft Solutions, we make quality hair care our top priority. This is why we sell great sulfate free shampoo and the highest quality hydrating shampoo. For more information on how you can best tend to your hair care needs, contact us.
