Say Goodbye to Hair Breakage

When your hair is constantly breaking, it can seem impossible to style it how you want to. Not only is this frustrating, but it could also be concerning if there’s an underlying issue needing to be addressed. The good news is most of the time hair breakage is just a sign of your hair needing more nutrients. When you have dry hair, it becomes more brittle and prone to breaking. Simple changes are likely all you need to make to your quality hair care routine, but let’s take a look at the proper ways to address hair breakage.

quality hair careUnderstanding Why Your Hair Breaks

Some people are more prone to having weak hair due to genetics, and there’s not much you can do about it. However, some of the other common reasons why your hair could break include:

  • Using heat tools too often
  • Dyeing your hair too much
  • Not washing your hair after exposing it to chemicals, like those found in swimming pools
  • Styling your hair improperly

Heat tools used for styling are convenient and create great results. However, they are the number one culprit in creating weak hair strands. It’s important to take preventative measures when using these tools to better protect the hair.

Steps To Prevent Hair Breakage

Making simple alterations to your quality hair care routine, like applying a protective hair serum before using heat styling tools, will go a long way in maintaining strong hair. Also, scaling back on the frequency of using the heat tools will give your hair a little break and help it stay stronger longer.

Possibly the most common reason why people experience hair breakage is when they brush it while it’s wet. After using your sulfate free shampoo in the shower, allow your hair to air dry as long as you can. If needed, use a blow dryer on the coolest setting to let it dry slowly. Once you have completely dry hair, then you can run a brush through it gently to remove any tangles without breaking the hair.

Give Your Hair The Nutrients Needed To Be Strong

Your hair needs the right nutrients to remain strong and healthy. If you notice your hair breaking more often, try switching up your diet and incorporating more protein into it. And always be sure to stay hydrated, as your hair benefits greatly from a well-hydrated body. You may not notice significant changes in your hair right away, but if you stick with a more well-balanced diet and focus on hydration, your hair will slowly become stronger.

RemySoft not only wants you to have the best looking hair possible, but we also want you to maintain healthy hair in the process. Using a sulfate free shampoo will help prevent dry hair, since it won’t strip away the natural oils from the hair as harshly. If you constantly struggle with dry hair, start by making minor adjustments to your hair care routine over time and you’ll be on your way to having stronger hair. And never hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need advice for your hair.

Heatless Hairstyles to get You Through the Week

There’s no question how effective heat tools can be when styling our hair. On the same hand, we know every time we use them, our hair has to pay the price for it. Heat protectant products can only be so effective, and the only way to truly protect your hair from heat damage is to not use the tools at all. But how are you supposed to style your hair without using the straightener or curling iron? Always start off by washing your hair with a great sulfate free shampoo, apply some leave-in conditioner as needed and check out these heatless hairstyles to try.

Braided Twist

Start by parting your hair to one side, take the large section of your hair in front and make a regular braid. When you’ve got the braid finished, pull the loops a bit to increase the volume. Then simply twist your remaining hair away from your face and fluff it out a bit. Wrap the twist around the braid and secure it and you’ll have a unique and creative hairstyle that looks like you spent a lot of time on it, but really didn’t. And you never have to use heat tools to pull this look off.

Half-Up, Half-Down Bun

The half-up, half-down bun is one of the most popular heatless hairstyles. Depending on how long your hair is, you may need to use some clip-in hair extensions to achieve it. The key to personalizing this hairstyle is pulling out certain hair strands from the bun in order to frame your face. It’s the perfect messy hairstyle that can be worn for many occasions.

Double Dutch Braids

This hairstyle is simple enough, and requires you to part your hair down the middle and create two dutch braids. The creativity is up to you, as you can add hair extensions for volume, incorporate hair accessories and more. With a little practice, you can create nice tight braids without using any heat tools to make the hair stay in place.

leave-in conditionerMessy Bun

Most ladies have worn the messy bun a time or two. In fact, it’s the ultimate go-to hairstyle because it takes mere minutes to achieve and doesn’t require perfection. And the messy bun sometimes even looks best with hair that hasn’t been washed in a day or two. Applying some leave-in conditioner will give it shine, volume and make it easier to work with.

RemySoft understands the need for using heat tools for certain occasions, but there are plenty of heatless hairstyles you can incorporate as well. Every great hairstyle starts by using a quality sulfate free shampoo. From there, you can combine a mix of accessories, hair extensions and creativity to pull off simple hairstyles without damaging the hair. For more tips and ideas like these, contact us at any time.

Is There a Right and Wrong Way to Part Your Hair?

Too many people underestimate how they part their hair. The manner in which your hair is parted has a significant impact on how your overall appearance looks. For example, have you always defaulted to a middle part, but are never completely satisfied with it? Changing it up and going with a side part instead may be exactly what you need to experience a breakthrough in your hairstyle. Here are some tips to help you part your hair the right way without having to make significant alterations to your quality hair care routine.

Subtle Side Part

This is arguably the most common part ladies like to go with. It’s easy to do and almost anyone can pull it off with very little effort. The key features of the subtle side part is showing off the different angles of your face, so it’s perfect for people who have more of a square face shape. You can pull this style off by parting your hair starting around the center of your eyebrow. And the best part is it doesn’t have to be perfect, since it’s more of a casual look. As long as you’ve been using a great sulfate free shampoo and have shiny hair because of it, you’ll be able to easily hide any blemishes.

Major Side Part

When you feel like taking your side part to another level, consider starting it at the very end of your eyebrow and parting it the other way. If you’ve never parted your hair this much before, it will naturally try to fold back over. Some quality hair care products can usually hold the strands in place, though. This major side part requires a little longer hair, so you can always grab your shiny hair extensions when you’re ready to accomplish it.

quality hair careMiddle Part

If you’re looking for a quick fix and a neutral hairstyle, the middle part is the way to go. The middle part is as easy to pull off as it sounds, which is just putting the comb in the middle of your head and parting it to either side. It’s a simple and casual look that can be worn for almost any occasion.

RemySoft is here to help you when you can’t seem to accomplish what you’re striving for with your hair. Our quality hair care products are designed to keep your hair healthy to make styling it a breeze. Parting your hair can sometimes be trickier than you expect, but once you get the hang of how to do it properly for your particular hair type, it will be your go-to style.

Make a Statement with Bangs this Fall

Your options are endless when it comes to fall hairstyles. However, most people choose to just make subtle changes rather than drastically altering their appearance. These subtle changes can come in the form of changing up the bangs slightly. One of the biggest keys to having great looking bangs is to ensure they hold in place. The perfect combination of sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, protective hair serum and other quality products can help you pull off any style. Here are some great options to consider to make a statement with your bangs this fall.

Textured And Uneven

Who said bangs have to be perfectly straight across your forehead? Sometimes the uneven, messy and textured look can be more stylish than a clean-cut look. Using the right hair products for Remy hair is the secret to pulling off these bangs, since they will make the texture appear to be intentional rather than looking like you’re having a lazy hair day.

Side-Swept

Side-swept bangs are getting more popular every day for good reasons. Not only do the sweeping bangs look amazing, but it also highlights more of your facial features. And the great part about having side-swept bangs is you can virtually incorporate any hairstyle you’d like. Wavy hair, straight hair, long hair, short hair or even ponytails and buns will look great with side-swept bangs.

Curly

If you have naturally curly hair, then you owe it to yourself to give bangs a try if you haven’t already. Make sure to use a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner before styling your hair in order to keep the curls tight and prevent frizziness. And if needed, incorporate moisturizing hair products for Remy hair to ensure the curls maintain their hold throughout the day.

Jagged

Jagged bangs work great with both long and short hair. This style takes a little time and effort since each hair strand needs to be in the perfect position to pull off the look. The bangs will appear asymmetrical due to the nature of the jaggedness, but it’s the organized chaos that makes this style unique.

protective hair serumParted

Parted bangs are also known as curtain bangs, since there’s a gap right in the middle of them. If you have straight and sleek hair and can’t figure out what you want to do differently with your bangs, then parting them is a great option to try. It’s easy to pull off and if you don’t like them for any reason, you don’t have to spend a lot of time fixing it.

RemySoft offers only the best hair products for Remy hair, so you won’t have to search very long for your next great hairstyle. And along with our products, we also offer helpful tips and tricks to make your hairstyling experience better than you ever imagined.

3 Mistakes Your Hair Stylist Wishes You Would Stop Doing

There’s nothing better than a visit to your hair stylist to get your hair in tip-top shape. Whether you’re visiting them prior to a big event or if you just need to rejuvenate your hair, a good stylist will be able to meet your needs. However, neglecting your hair up until that point isn’t doing your stylist or you any favors. A good quality hair care routine at home is more important than routine visits to the salon. Stylists can easily identify when you’ve neglected your hair. Here are the most common mistakes you could be making with your hair that your hair stylist may bring to your attention.

Not Using Quality Hair Products

If you spend a lot of time and money at the salon, you owe it to yourself to invest in quality hair care products rather than just buying the cheapest products at the supermarket. The ingredients in these products are potentially damaging, and the average person doesn’t even realize it. Most shampoos have sulfates, so one of the most basic tips is to find a sulfate free shampoo to keep your hair as healthy as possible on a daily basis.

Brushing Wet Hair

There’s no better way to break your hair strands than brushing it when it’s wet. Not only is it easier to brush dry hair, it’s also stronger when it’s dry so you can prevent breakage. When you have tangled hair, your stylist may recommend brushing it prior to getting in the shower while it’s still dry. Then when you get out of the shower, you can use a brush specially designed for wet hair and run through it seamlessly without having to struggle with knots or tangles.

sulfate free shampooAlways Defaulting To Ponytails

It’s too easy to just pull your hair up in a ponytail when you’re in a rush or having a lazy day. But doing this too often could be damaging your hair more than you think. Pulling your hair back into a tight ponytail puts a lot of stress on it, and can lead to breakage. Most of the time the breakage will occur around the crown and can sometimes even create damage at the follicle. You don’t have to follow a strict quality hair care routine every day, but try not to make it a habit to default to wearing a ponytail multiple times every week.

RemySoft is here to give you all the tips and tricks the average hair stylist may not give you. Knowing what mistakes you’re making and how to correct them can help you maintain your shiny and healthy hair for longer periods of time. Plus, you’ll always have great-looking hair that looks like you just came from the salon. For more tips like this and what quality hair care products you can be incorporating into your hair, contact us today.

5 of the Most Shocking Emmys Hairstyles

The Emmy Awards never disappoints when it comes to seeing unique hairstyles, and the 2018 edition was no different. Every time a different celebrity walked down the red carpet, you couldn’t help but notice the tight curls, the beach waves, the creative textures, the accessories and more. Some celebrities chose to go with hair extensions to create length and volume, but others were rightfully satisfied with going with a shorter look. It was difficult to narrow them down, but here are five of the most impressive hairstyles we saw at the Emmys this year.

Mandy Moore’s Beachy Texture

You may have heard about air-drying your hair being an important step in your quality hair care routine. That’s evidenced by Mandy Moore’s beautiful textured hairstyle, which began with using a sulfate free shampoo. Once completely dried, she used a texturizing product before curling it. The secret to her flawless waves involved using a large curling iron to crimp, while using a smaller curling iron to create perfect beach waves.    

Regina King’s Unique Texture Mix

Regina King may have won an Emmy award, but we were most impressed with her gorgeous, creative and unique hairstyle. She incorporated a mix of twists, crimps and curls and included both a chignon and a ponytail. Regina definitely won the night by making a bold statement with her hair and making a creative mix look flawless. 

Evan Rachel Wood’s Spring Look

Evan Rachel Wood proved you can still pull off a spring look in the late summer/early autumn months. All it took was pulling her hair back in a bun, letting some hair hang loose in the front and clipping in a fresh arrangement of flowers to give this year’s Emmys a spring vibe. This is a hairstyle almost anyone can pull off with the right quality hair care routine, and maybe adding in some hair extensions if needed.     

Ryan Michelle Bathe’s Faux-Hawk

Ryan Michelle Bathe had her hair braided starting at the neck and positioned on the top of her head all the way to her forehead. You almost had to have a double-take when you first saw her, as the faux-hawk style was definitely one of the most creative hairstyles of the night. Not many people could pull this hairstyle off, but Ryan Michelle Bathe did so to perfection. 

Kristen Bell’s Classic Bun

There’s never anything wrong with spending a little extra time on your hair and just putting it back in a classic bun. That’s exactly what Kristen Bell went with, and she didn’t disappoint. The key to making a flawless bun like this is ensuring every strand of hair is in the proper position, and her quality hair care stylist did exactly that.  

RemySoft gets a lot of inspiration for hairstyles from events like the Emmy Awards. As a result, we’ve collected numerous notable hairstyles and help people pull them off every day. The great thing about most of the celebrity hairstyles you see at the Emmys is the average person can recreate the look with the right quality hair care routine and using the best products for their hair.

Our Step-by-Step Guide to Perfectly Straighten Hair at Home

We’ve all struggled with finding the perfect technique to achieve the straightest hair possible. One thing many people don’t realize is your straightening technique sometimes needs to be altered depending on whether you have curly hair, straight hair or slightly wavy hair. Minor alterations to your quality hair care routine may be needed, but the results will be well worth it. Here are simple tips to ensure you’re on the right track to achieving perfectly straight hair from the comfort of your home.

Dry Your Hair Thoroughly

To have the healthiest hair possible, you should wash it with a great sulfate free shampoo at least 2-3 times per week. And when you get out of the shower, the most important step in the hair straightening process is working with completely dry hair. Even having slightly damp hair won’t give you the results you desire. If your hair is naturally curly, you should use a quality blow dryer to get as many knots out as you can while it’s drying. If you have naturally straight hair, you may be able to get away with allowing your hair to air dry, depending on the amount of time you have.

great sulfate free shampooProtect Your Hair From The Heat

Hair can get damaged over time if you use a straightening iron often. Using hair products for Remy hair designed to protect your hair from heat damage is ideal. You can apply these products after you’ve dried your hair completely in order to prevent damage to your hair and ensure long-lasting results.

Combine A Fine-Tooth Comb With Your Straightener

Many people run a fine-tooth comb through their hair first and let the straightener follow behind it. This helps to ensure every strand of hair gets touched, and could also reduce the amount of times you have to run the straightening iron over it. Incorporating a fine-tooth comb with your straightener is a secret quality hair care step many people overlook, but should always do for best results.

Be Consistent When Straightening

As with anything related to your hair, it’s important to have a consistent quality hair care routine when you’re trying to have perfectly straight hair. That means being consistent with every pass with the straightener, every hair washing session with your great sulfate free shampoo and more. Of course, you may have to experiment for a little while to see what works best for your hair. But once you find it, stick with it.

RemySoft loves talking to people who love their hair. We all envy people with naturally straight hair who rarely have to do any work to achieve it. But when you follow these steps and use the right hair products for Remy hair, you will wow everyone around you with your straight hair. Be sure to contact us for more tips and tricks like this to help you achieve the appearance you’ve always longed for with your hair.

How to Achieve the Ultimate Shiny Hair

One of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to get shiny hair is using too many products. Some people are lucky enough to have naturally healthy hair that has a natural glow to it, but other people have to use the right amount of hair products for Remy hair to achieve the same results. The good news is you don’t have to change up your routine much to add some shine to your hair. Here are some of the most effective tips to instantly have shiny hair.

sulfate free shampooAlways Protect Your Hair

Protecting your hair from the outdoors and other elements is an underrated aspect of achieving shiny hair. Moisture is one of the harshest elements for hair and can strip the shine right out of it. To combat this, a quality leave in conditioner may do the trick. Using hair products like this to provide the hair with the moisture it needs to remain shiny will prevent it from drying out and getting frizzy.

Don’t Overuse Products

It’s tempting to continue piling on products in hopes that your hair will retain some moisture and restore its shine. However, once it reaches a certain point, your hair could turn into a greasy mess. A good quality sulfate free shampoo and leave in conditioner combination is often all you need to have the best shine. But if that doesn’t do the trick, then there are plenty of other hair products for Remy hair to experiment with. Just don’t use too many at once.

Skip A Hair Wash Occasionally

Washing your hair too often will strip the natural oils from it. You may be thinking your hair will look greasy if you don’t wash it with a sulfate free shampoo every day, but you’re actually keeping it healthy by skipping a wash. Your glands will work to produce more oils immediately after the oils are stripped, so the more you wash, the harder the glands will work. Skipping a day or two every now and then is good for your hair, and you may be surprised at the shiny results.

Manage Your Diet

We’ve all heard the phrase, “you are what you eat.” The same is true when talking about your hair. For the healthiest and shiniest hair, your body needs a balanced diet with the right amount of protein. So if you’ve struggled with getting your hair to look like you want it despite using numerous combinations of products, consider altering your diet for a few weeks and you may notice positive changes in your hair.

RemySoft thinks everyone deserves to have sleek and shiny hair if it’s something they want to achieve. Too many people give up trying to get their hair to look a certain way, and we are here to help. We understand how frustrating it can be sometimes, but we have the right hair products for Remy hair, along with years of expertise, to help you have the locks you’ve always wanted. Don’t hesitate to give us a call and we will offer some guidance to transform your hair to the shiniest hair you’ve ever had.

Does Your Hair Type Matter When You Blow Dry Your Hair?

We’ve all just grabbed the blow dryer before after getting out of the shower and put it on the hottest setting to dry our hair as quickly as possible. When you’re in a rush, sometimes this is the only option. However, making this action a habit can be one of the worst things you can do for your hair. Everyone has a different hair type, and believe it or not, the manner in which you blow dry your hair should be taken into consideration. The combination of the proper drying technique with incorporating the best hair products for Remy hair can make your hair look fabulous every day. Here are some important points to consider.

Fine Hair Doesn’t Require As Much Heat

Using a hot setting on your blow dryer can actually damage fine hair. On the same hand, it’s not advisable to use a hot setting if you have hair extensions either, since it could shorten their lifespan considerably. One reason why many people with fine hair use a blow dryer is to add volume. This can still be effective on a lower heat setting, but you can also find the right hair products for Remy hair to achieve the same results with a lower risk of damaging the hair.

hair products for remy hairHigher Quality Blow Dryers Protect The Hair

There’s a big difference between a cheap hair dryer and one that costs a little more. The higher quality blow dryers will heat more evenly and maintain the temperature much better so each strand of hair gets the same amount of care. Some hair dryers even have different settings you can adjust depending on the style you’re looking to achieve. Be sure to do your research when making an investment in a hair dryer, and consider your hair type when researching.

Hair Products Are Just As Important

As important as it is to select the proper hair dryer for your hair type, the products you use are equally as important. Using a high quality hydrating shampoo is a good place to start, and then other hair products for Remy hair can be incorporated as needed. Talk to your stylist about what you want to achieve with your hair, and they can make the best recommendations based on your specific hair type.

RemySoft believes every person’s hair is unique and should be treated that way. Because of this belief, we will never recommend any hair products for Remy hair unless we know what your hair type is, what your current hair care routine is and what you want to achieve with your hair. We look at all details when it comes to your hair in order to provide the best suggestions for you. We are always available when you have any questions about your hair, so feel free to contact us at any time.
