We’ve seen it all over. The undercut is coming back into style for girls and guys alike. You may be an undercut veteran yourself or interested in trying the look for the first time. After all, it’s attractive on so many other people, so it may be worth giving a chance. First, we’d like to say kudos to you for either finding a hairstyle that works for you or being willing to try something brand new. Here are a few ways you can rock an undercut and look great doing it!

The Swoop

Sometimes you may want to add a bit more flair to your undercut. Maybe your hair’s already naturally on the unruly side, but you still want to help it look managed. Sometimes a product as simple as a protective hair serum can help. Alternatively, maybe the limp look just isn’t your thing. In any case, you can always muss your hair forward to create a stylish swoop effect. This can take many forms, from a messy and high, slightly spiked look to a new spin on the Caesar cut. Of course, you can always rock a fringe, too! You just want to make sure you get them cut in a way that coordinates well with your facial shape and features.

The Traditional Look

As the old adage says, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” If you’re a newbie to the wide world of undercuts, you may want to start off with its usual interpretation: long on top and slicked back. This look works well for just about any occasion and is easy to care for with regular quality hair care.

The Pompadour

It seems the ‘50s aesthetic is back in full swing, and the pompadour has made a modern resurgence! This look will take gel and maybe some protective hair serum to maintain, but we guarantee it’s easy to pull off! Just make sure to ask your stylist to leave you an ample amount of hair up top. The bigger the pompadour, the better (and sexier, if that’s the look you’re going for)!

Layering

Not all undercuts are made of gel and careful mussing. You may be interested in a more natural look, which is attainable through the help of layering the top portion of your hair. This is great for those with thin hair or who just want their undercut to look a bit more interesting and “bigger” without making it too long or using a ton of product. This look may prove to be a bit experimental for some, however. You may want to ask your stylist to play around a bit with length until you can both agree on what looks best.

The Top Knot

It seems these days it’s all about either the man bun or the undercut—but now guys are combining both for two times the charm! Naturally, you’ll need to keep the top section of your hair long. All that’s left is to bundle it up into a quick bun near the crown of your head. With the right amount of length, you’re guaranteed to look great!

While these aren’t all the ways you can rock an undercut, we hope this list of suggestions will give you some ideas. No matter which style you choose, be sure to invest in some hydrating shampoo to keep your look sleek and healthy. Also, don’t hesitate to contact us for more style suggestions and hair care tips!

It happens even to the best of us. No matter how much effort and TLC we put into styling our hair, or how much we invest in quality hair care, the seasonal humidity can always creep right in and undo all of our hard work. This is just a frustrating fact of life…or is it?

What if we told you there are ways you can easily strike back against the frizziness plaguing your hair throughout the fall months? Skeptical? Well, let us convince you through this list of easy, frizz-fighting tips to unleash this season!

Start Up a Strengthening Regimen

Sometimes a huge factor in how well your hair handles the fall humidity lies in how strong and prepared it is. Oftentimes we don’t give our hair enough of a safeguard against the weather, leading to frizzy disasters and other problems that ruin our perfectly coiffed hairdos.

If your hair is naturally on the thicker side, a sturdy leave in conditioner will become your new best friend! You can use it and related products to deep condition your hair on a regular basis. This will ensure your hair has enough moisture so it has no need to go sucking up moisture from the air around you, thus lowering the chance of a surprise fall frizz.

For those with thin hair, hot oil can work a different, but just as helpful, kind of magic! Prior to starting up your regular washing routine, just apply the hot oil to your hair. This will give your strands extra strength, allowing it to more easily combat frizz and stay in the style you intended.

Use Protectants

Of course, upping your regular washing routine won’t always be enough to protect your hair. It may very well need a little extra help. This can come in the form of a smoothing cream, which is specifically designed to prevent frizz and keep your hair sleek, or other hair products for Remy hair. People with thin hair may find oil treatments and styling sprays work best for keeping their hair manageable in the fall.

Style Your Hair Effectively

Certain hairstyles are far more protective than others. This includes braids and buns, which can create a smoothing effect that will leave your hair looking much neater overall. Say goodbye to those unsightly cowlicks and hello to cute fall hair instead!

Overnight Care

We understand you’re a busy person and may not always have the time or energy to devote to providing quality hair care in the mornings. If this is usually the case for you, letting your hair set overnight may be the better option. This entails going along with your usual washing routine, then adding styling cream to your hair before bed. Bundle your hair into a bun before you drift off to sleep, and you’ll wake up to sleek and smooth waves the fall humidity won’t be able to touch!

We hope these tips will help you better manage your hair in the face of fall. For other tips on how to prep for the season, as well as help your hair thrive all year long, get in touch with us!

While many men have to deal with the hard reality of hair loss, the widespreadness of the issue doesn’t make coping much easier. As your bald spot grows in size, you may find your embarrassment swelling along with it. Some men don’t feel comfortable leaving the house without a hat or wig care products, while others decide to get proactive and shave their heads entirely to avoid having to face their baldness any longer. However, if neither appeals to you, you still have options.

Cosmetic professionals currently regard tattooing as another excellent and viable method for coping with hair loss. Yes, you read right! Tattooing isn’t just for anchor and skull tattoos anymore! For years, professionals have used tattoos to repair any number of cosmetic problems, with scalp tattooing being just one of other options for men with thinning hair. Keep reading to learn more about it.

How Does It Work?

Scalp tattooing is additionally called SMP, or “scalp micropigmentation.” Its process is similar to regular tattooing in theory, but be forewarned: you can’t get this kind of treatment at just any salon in the United States. Rather, you’ll need to go to a specialized center or book with a tattoo artist who knows how to do this work and has all the right tools equipped. Your specialist will have to gauge your hair texture, the way your hair loss is developing and your natural hairline before getting started with the procedure. This part of the process can be lengthy, so be prepared. Afterward, the specialist can get to work pricking small dots along your hairline and scalp, imitating what’s meant to look like natural stubble as the result of a close shave.

What About the Rest of My Hair?

If you still have some hair, no worries! Your specialist will be able to blend your new scalp tattoo into the rest of your natural hair, allowing you to more easily adjust if and when your hair loss spreads, as well as hide any obvious “tells” from your scalp.

Any Other Benefits?

Compared to other hair loss management methods, such as full cap partial cap hair replacement and hair replacement surgery, scalp tattooing is far more natural looking and less invasive. Scalp tattooing is meant to mimic a very common hairstyle among men—the close shave—so it’s ideal for men who already like and would have worn that particular style in the first place. Additionally, scalp tattooing is far easier on one’s budget, costing half as much as the typical fees for hair replacement.

Ultimately, however, the decision to undergo scalp tattooing is entirely up to you. If it isn’t your thing and you want to maintain longer hair, you may consider investing in a toupee and other wig care products instead. All that matters is you’re happy with your decision in the long run.

We at RemySoft are dedicated to quality hair care, no matter the type or length of hair you have! Be sure to get in touch to learn about other hair care options available to you!

Despite its longstanding stigma, gray hair isn’t just for the elderly anymore. Younger people are embracing the color now as an aesthetic choice for themselves—and it’s generating some adorable, positive results for both sides of the age spectrum! Older adults who are going gray or are already gray entirely have expressed a boost of confidence knowing younger people are voluntarily giving themselves the same hair color. Meanwhile, teenagers and young adults choosing this look fully enjoy the color and how it enhances their own image and personal self-esteem.

Are you considering a new hair color? Whether using alternative hair color is your thing or not, you might want to consider trying gray hair this fall just so you can understand what all the hype is about.

For Guys

Guys may hesitate in general when it comes to styling their hair, much less dyeing it. However, celebrities such as Adam Lambert have rocked silver locks, garnering much attention both from news and social media. Additionally, people of all orientations appreciate the “silver fox” look, as evidenced by a handful of celebrities out there who have grayed early or went the dyeing route on their own.

Best of all, it’s easy to obtain this style! All it takes is an appointment at your nearest hair salon for a professional, well done treatment. There you’ll be treated to quality hair care, ensuring your new gray ‘do will last far longer. It’s a recipe for a new you that’s ten times as charming and suave!

For Women

Fashionable women have likely already noticed the sudden popularity of “smokier” hair colors, such as gray and lilac. People are even combining these colors through the use of ombre and balayage, creating a unique and colorful display that styles incredibly well and coordinates with just about any outfit.

You can pair gray hair with just about any other hair color if you don’t want to go gray entirely. The most popular choices seem to be black, blue, brown and white, though you can choose just about any color you wish! Even straight up gray hair is bound to look amazing with the proper quality hair care. The most important part of picking a new hair color or style is being happy with your choice and knowing you look good with it, after all. Again, picking an excellent salon to take care of your dye job will work wonders and hook you up with just the right look.

Regardless of your gender, you don’t want to forget about maintenance! Like any light hair color, gray hair takes a lot of management to stay just the right shade. A good sulfate free shampoo and conditioner should help the color last longer. In addition, sun protection for hair will help to avoid too much unsightly fading from spreading too quickly. At RemySoft, we can help you take care of your gray hair with our fabulous products! To learn more about this hair trend and many others, as well as the care included, don’t hesitate to contact us!

It’s a well known fact that long hair is gorgeous, no matter the season. But it possesses its own unmatched charm once autumn rolls in. This is the time when you can swap out your ponytails and braids for cozier hairstyles and far more variety. Now that autumn is once again on its way, you’re probably eager to make the switch and start wearing your hair in a cuter myriad of styles. We understand, and we’re here to help! That’s why we’ve put together a list of some adorable long hairstyles for you to try this season, along with some recommendations for hair products for Remy hair.

Undercut Half-Updos, for the Alt Girls

Undercuts have long been in style throughout this year and the last, thanks largely to their edgy look and versatility. However, if you have long hair along with your undercut, you may be at a loss as to how to utilize both looks to their fullest. One of the best ways to do so would be to tie your hair into a half ponytail, letting the rest cascade down your back. People will be able to see your undercut from the sides and admire your one-of-a-kind look twofold!

Simple Straight Hair

This look is perhaps the best for those who don’t want to put a lot of effort into their naturally straight hair, or simply appreciate the slick, straight look. All it takes is parting your hair down the center and letting it hang naturally. It helps to have your hair be as straight as possible, especially if your hair is naturally of a curlier texture. Several hair products for Remy hair exist to help you straighten your hair more adequately and help you achieve the tidy look necessary for this style.

Buns

We hope you didn’t burn out on buns during the summer, because they’re just as cute and applicable for the fall! They’re also the perfect way to keep yourself looking cute, because buns can easily turn to curly hair on girls with naturally very straight hair. You can also adorn your bun with the cutest or most elegant accessories from your arsenal, if you so choose. Style your bun however you want, in fact; it’s a versatile style! Be sure to wash your hair with sulfate free shampoo beforehand for maximum results!

Braids

What could be a more perfect fall hairstyle than a braid? It pairs perfectly with any season, and looks especially cute with a cozy sweater, blue jeans and boots. Best of all, there are multiple variations from fishtail to French to even halfway styles like waterfall and lace. The possibilities are positively endless, but still adorable and flexible enough for any outfit and occasion! Add leave in conditioner to your hair beforehand to really help your braid shine!

We hope this list will give you some ideas on how to style and manage your long locks this autumn. For other tips, hair care suggestions and more, feel free to get in touch with us at any time!

Unfortunately, as we’re all well aware, summer’s just ended. It’s a complete bummer. We certainly miss it already, along with all the cute hairstyles and trends the season inspired this year! However, you don’t have to mourn the end of summer by shelving all those cute hairstyles you used to wear last season. Take beach waves, for instance. While beach waves may not quite match the season, they’ll never truly go out of style! To help you rock this adorable hairstyle all year ‘round, here’s a nifty guide on how to create it for yourself.

Take Advantage of Your Flat Iron

Your flat iron isn’t just for rendering your hair sleek and straight! It can also work miracles in terms of creating the perfect wave in your hair, especially if it’s naturally of the thicker, harder-to-manage variety. Before using your flat iron, be sure to add some protective hair serum to your locks to safeguard it against the heat, and brush through it to ensure your strands are as sleek and tangle-free as possible.

Afterwards, you can get started with sweeping the iron through your hair, pointing it toward the floor and curling each section around the flat iron before pulling down. This method is a great way of styling beach waves in a hurry, as it takes less than 10 minutes, even for long hair. With some gentle guidance, you’ll end up with gorgeous, sleek and shiny waves!

Twist It Up

This style utilizes your flat iron yet again, alongside a hair spray specially designed to maximize the waviness of your hair. The latter should be applied to your hair first in a light drizzle. Afterwards, you can twist sections of your hair before braiding them together for better hold. The next step involves your flat iron, which you’ll sweep over the twist from top to ends. Be sure to be gentle as you pass over your hair and don’t lose patience if you come across a snag! Heat is already hard enough on your hair, so you don’t want to increase the risk of breakage by forcing the iron through. Once your hair has cooled off sufficiently, you can undo the twist and enjoy your beautiful new waves!

If All Else Fails…

If you have short hair or simply don’t want to fuss with a lot of heat, you can always rely on hair extensions pre-styled into the perfect beach waves! We find this is a much easier alternative and far more flexible if you only want to rock this look for a day or so. Hair extensions require less maintenance than the hair naturally growing from your head, though there are still a few things you can and should do to keep them presentable. If you want to go the extension route, make sure to research and invest in the best shampoo and conditioner for extensions for maximum longevity!

We hope these tips will help you create your most beautiful beach waves yet! For other hair styling and care tips, feel free to get in touch with us at RemySoft. We care about helping you look your absolute best!

Alas, summer’s drawn to a finite close and the weather is making way for autumn and its wardrobe of many colors. Out goes the days of short shorts, tank tops and suntans; and in comes sweaters, pumpkin spice everything and Halloween. With the change in seasons, you may be feeling it’s time for more change of the personal variety. We’re talking about your hair, of course! You’re already swapping out your wardrobe, so why not make a few changes to your hair to match? If this interests you, but you’re a little stuck on the details, we’ve put together a handy list of cute, but easily maintainable hairstyles you can try this fall!

Bangs: Not Just for Straight Hair Anymore!

Yes, you read it right! Even curly girls can rock a cute fringe this year. Such a luxury is no longer reserved for straight hairstyles. How can this be done? First, you’ll have to invest in some quality hair care. Curly hair is already hard to maintain, so adding bangs to the mix could easily put you at risk of rocking the poodle hair look if you aren’t dedicated.

Luckily, the maintenance for curly bangs is easy! All it takes is some anti-humidity products to ensure your hair is able to handle the fall humidity with more ease, as well as blow drying while your newly cut bangs are still wet to make sure they have enough length on them.

Updos and Accessories

You no longer have to reserve your cute barrettes and combs or your fancy, swooshy updos for special occasions. Thanks to international fashion designers, intricate hair decorates are in, and the best way to show them off is by putting your hair up. Feel free to decorate as much as you please! The sparklier your accessories are, the better. Of course, this look is meant to be dramatic, so it may be best to coordinate this kind of hairstyle with an event or outfit that can accommodate it all. If you’d still like to rock this look in a more casual setting, you can always strategically place your accessories in less noticeable places throughout your hair, or not use quite as many. Be sure to wash your hair with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner first for extra luster!

Sideswept Hair

This vintage look is also making a comeback this year, and just in time. What could be more elegant than all of your hair tucked to one side of your head, not quite as neat as the tightly waved styles we’ve seen for formal events, but more messily waved in a casual look? This style is perfect for those who don’t want to put tons of effort into their hair, but still want to look like they did. Just be sure to use some sort of product to help the style set. This style is easy to pull off with hair extensions as well, so consider looking up how to care for hair extensions if you want to add some length before trying it.

We hope these style suggestions have given you inspiration on how to style yourself this fall! For more tips on quality hair care, hair styling and related subjects, feel free to contact us!

If you struggle with unruly hair every time it’s humid outside, you definitely aren’t alone. It’s no secret humidity can be one of the most frustrating things when it comes to creating a nice hairstyle. You can literally spend hours on a hairstyle, only to walk outside and your hair is flat on your head within 10 minutes. Humidity will always be around to wreck a good hairstyle, but there are a few things you can do to deal with it!

Invest in Good Shampoo and Conditioner

The healthier your hair is, the better chance you will have of dealing with it during the humid weather. Using a quality sulfate free shampoo and conditioner with a lot of vitamins, minerals and oils will help tremendously. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, but you also don’t want to get the cheapest one available. You may also consider a leave in conditioner, depending on your hair type.

Help Your Curls Out

Sometimes quality hair care means doing nothing.

Sometimes the best quality hair care you can give yourself involves doing nothing at all. That is especially true when it comes to curly hair. Curls hold better when they aren’t freshly washed so don’t wash your hair in the morning or the night before. This won’t completely protect your hair from the negative effects of humidity, but it will definitely help keep your curls looking how you want them to.

Remove Moisture for Straight Hair

Straight hair and humid weather generally do not mix well. You will have a better chance of keeping your straight and shiny hair if you walk outside with a completely dry head on those hot and humid days. Of course, we understand sometimes it’s not possible to dry your hair completely, but at least spend a few extra minutes with your blow dryer. To help expedite the process, blow dry your hair in sections and run your fingers through it as you go.

Having a good hair day on a humid day is difficult for everyone. Sometimes Mother Nature wins, but at least there are some things we can try to make our hair look as good as possible. Contact us for more tips on how to deal with your hair in humid weather, along with many other style tips to help you be confident with your hairstyle every day!

Almost everyone has to deal with the negative effects of humidity when it comes to their hair. However, most people just go with the flow and never really understand why they have so much trouble styling their hair when it’s humid outside. Understanding why your hair won’t cooperate with you is the first step in learning what you can do to deal with it. Here are some of the reasons you have so much trouble with your hair during the humid days of the year.

Hair Absorbs Moisture

When the air outside is dry, water molecules will move from your hair into the atmosphere. The opposite happens when it’s humid. Your hair can actually swell by as much as 16 percent due to the absorption of moisture. With the added density, it’s no wonder you can’t have the hairstyles you want!

All Hair Strands Don’t Act Alike

A leave in conditioner may help.

Not only do the various hair types react differently to humidity, but your own individual hair strands do sometimes as well. Since the proteins aren’t uniform throughout your hair, some strands may absorb more moisture than others. The result is twisted or frizzy strands. A sulfate free shampoo and conditioner may help with the uniformity, but sometimes it’s tough to fight against Mother Nature and humidity.

Hair Types React Differently

When exposed to humidity, naturally curly hair could curl even more or become frizzy. Fine hair could become thicker. Excessively dry hair could retain the most moisture of any hair types. While a leave in conditioner can help, different hair types are going to have some sort of reaction to humid air.

Even quality hair care products are no match for humidity at times. When it’s humid outside and you’re struggling to have a good hair day, understand you aren’t alone. Sometimes the best thing you can do is let your hair down loosely and naturally. The more you try to work with your hair, the worse it can get.

If you have any questions about your specific hair type and how humidity affects it, contact us. We can provide you with more information and recommend certain products you can try to manage your hairstyle despite the difficulties you will face!

School is right around the corner, which means a lot of decisions will be made in the next few weeks. In addition to your wardrobe, school supplies and other important matters, you have to choose the perfect hairstyle. Not only do you have to think about the first day of school, but the first week and maybe even the first month!

Don’t stress yourself out when it comes to picking out the cutest hairstyles for going back to school. Our hair products for remy hair will have you looking fly every day! Here are several of our favorite hairstyles you should try out yourself.

Braids

Hair products for remy hair are a must.

As you know, there are a lot of different ways to braid your hair. Since it’s still technically the summer, you may want to go with a side fishtail braid with a cute polka dotted top. It’s a clean and cute look that won’t be too fancy. If you’re not much of a braid person, you can still try a mini braid in a side part to add a little extra to your normally straight hairstyle.

Waves

You’ll probably notice a lot of people going with the wavy hairstyle on the first day of school. It’s pretty easy to do by curling your hair and finger combing it to get some waves with structure. We recommend using a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner the night before to really maximize the waviness the next day!

Ponytails

Sulfate free shampoo and conditioner will keep hair beautiful.

Instead of just going with a simple ponytail, do something a little extra. If you have curly hair, pull apart the curls and get them as high as you can on your head. This will give you an untamed look that is going to be the most unique in your school! If you’re not feeling too extravagant, a simple side ponytail shows your relaxed nature.

With the help of quality hair care products, your back-to-school hairstyle choice will not only be easy, but fun! If you have any ideas or questions about certain hairstyles you want to try, contact us and we can recommend the best hair care product to help you have the cutest hairstyle in your entire school!
