Is Your Hair Making You Look Older Than You Actually Are?

Having beautiful hair can make you look and feel youthful and vibrant. On the same note, sometimes your hair can actually make you look older than you are. If you’ve noticed this recently when looking in the mirror, there’s no need to worry. Adjusting your quality hair care routine slightly may be all that’s needed to revive your youthful appearance. Here are some of the main reasons why you could look older than you are and what you can do about it.

Using Too Many Hair Products

When you aren’t satisfied with your hair for any reason, the common thing to do is to grab another hair product to try to fix it. While this could work temporarily, you could find yourself with an overload of products. The result may be a lack of volume, greasiness, flat or dull hair and more. Instead, use your sulfate free shampoo and conditioner every other day or so to maintain your hair’s natural shine. And then choose quality over quantity when it comes to hair products to style your hair. Your hairstylist can recommend the best products for your specific hair type.

Consider Your Hair Length

The length of your hair can add years to your appearance. Most people look younger with shorter haircuts like a bob, but everyone’s body profile and facial features are different. Many people choose to go with an intermediate-length with their haircut if they feel like they look older than they are. This will allow them to experience a subtle change at first and then decide whether they want to make a more drastic change later.

Add Some Volume

Flat hair with no volume looks lifeless and boring, not to mention possibly making you look older. There are plenty of volumizing products on the market, but use them cautiously to prevent the opposite effect. Another common way to add volume is to incorporate shiny hair extensions. You don’t have to add a significant amount of length with the extension, but the results from a volumizing standpoint can rejuvenate your appearance.

sulfate free shampoo and conditionerLayer Your Hair To Fit Your Facial Structure

Layers can work wonders when transforming your hair. Your hairstylist should be able to incorporate layers to fit your facial structure perfectly. Layers not only make your hair look wonderful, but they can also hide facial lines and give off the appearance of altering your facial shape. Just be sure to ask your hairstylist how your quality hair care routine needs to be altered so you can maintain the flawless layered hairstyle perfectly.

RemySoft takes pride in helping both men and women achieve the appearances they desire. No one deserves to feel uncomfortable in their own body, especially when it’s something as simple as altering a hairstyle. Whether you want to try shiny hair extensions or just need a better sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, we are here to help. Feel free to contact us at any time for suggestions about your hair.

3 Quick Travel Hairstyles Done in Minutes

Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, extra time generally isn’t available in large amounts. When you’re on a business trip, you may have a full schedule and simply don’t have time to style your hair. If you’re on vacation, you may not want to spend a lot of time on your hair, but know you have to at least style it a little bit. Regardless of the situation, having some hair extensions and various hair products for Remy hair can help you create a quick hairstyle to get your day started with very little effort. Here are the top three travel hairstyles you can accomplish in minutes.

The Twisted Ponytail

Putting a twist on a traditional ponytail will make it look like you’ve spent a while on your hairstyle because of how great it looks. It all starts with creating two French twists with your hair. When you have these twists tied up, pull your remaining hair back into a normal ponytail. Then simply tie each twist around your head and into the ponytail and you’re done in a matter of a few minutes. This is a perfect hairstyle for vacations or if you’re traveling for a casual event.

hair extensionsQuick Loose Curls

Loose curls create the perfect wavy hairstyle that’s perfect for almost any occasion. This is where your hair extensions enter the picture. Once the extensions are clipped in, simply curl the hair in sections for a few seconds each time. When all sections are curled, break up the curls with your fingers to loosen them up and you’re ready to start your day. If needed, you can add some hair products for Remy hair to help the loose curls hold their shape.

Double-Sided Dutch Braid

The double-sided Dutch braid is one of those hairstyles that looks like you’ve spent hours on, but it literally takes minutes to achieve. Use your sulfate free shampoo the night before to ensure your hair is protected, and then the next morning you can create this hairstyle. Start with a deep side part and then Dutch braid the hair. You can make the braids as loose or as tight as you’d like, and adding hair extensions can make the overall hairstyle look even better. Once your braids are complete, simply tie them off and you’re ready to go.

At RemySoft, we believe some of the best hairstyles are the ones that are the quickest to achieve. Sometimes you just need the right hair products for Remy hair, while some people are simply lucky enough to wake up in the morning with perfect hair. We all get too busy to style our hair sometimes, so keep these hairstyles in mind for the next time you find yourself in a similar situation. And if you ever have any questions or need more hair care tips, contact us at any time.

How to Create Beautiful Textured Waves

If you’re looking for a new hairstyle that’s casual, fairly easy to create and can be worn for virtually any occasion, then textured waves may be your new favorite hairstyle. It’s one of the most unique hairstyles and it’s becoming more popular every day. Whether you’ve seen the style worn by your favorite celebrity, seen it in a magazine or anywhere else, you are only a few steps away from achieving it yourself. Here’s a quick guide on how you can pull off this beautiful textured wavy hairstyle with a little help from hair extensions.

Start With A Wash And Blow Dry

Whether your hair is naturally curly, wavy or straight, it’s always important to start with a wash using the best sulfate free shampoo you can find. Then you can use a protective hair serum if you have it and blow dry your hair as you normally would. Once the hair is completely dry and free of tangles, you’re ready to get creative with hair extensions.

hair extensionsSelect The Perfect Hair Extensions

We will start by saying it’s not completely necessary to use hair extensions to pull off this hairstyle, but you will be amazed by the difference it creates from a volume standpoint. Work with your hairstylist to find the right extensions specifically for your hair to create the perfect amount of volume you desire. This is where you can get creative and personalize the look. Just be sure to blend in the hair extensions to create a seamless appearance, and use as many extensions as you need.

Be Detailed With Texturizing

Once you’ve got your extensions secured, it’s time for the fun part. Spray in your protective hair serum and grab your curling wand to start the texturizing process. Your ultimate goal is to make the curls loose and slightly messy, so they will turn into beautiful textured waves. Detail is key during this step, so work in small sections to ensure every strand of hair gets worked with evenly. And once you release your hair from the wand, give it a scrunch with your hand to create even more definition as it sets. When you’ve curled it all, let it loose, tease it with your fingers and enjoy your textured waves.

At RemySoft, we truly believe anyone can pull off any hairstyle they desire. Sometimes hair extensions may be required, but other times you simply just need to incorporate other hair care products. Textured wavy hairstyles like this are a prime example, as it’s a hairstyle that looks difficult to achieve, but is actually fairly simple. If you need any other tips or tricks on how to pull off this look, never hesitate to contact us at any time.

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.

3 Hairstyles for Lazy Days

There are times when we feel like creating a magnificent hairstyle and have all the patience in the world to do so. Other times all you want to do is stay in bed until the last minute and don’t necessarily care what your hair looks like. When you’re having one of those inevitable lazy days, your hair doesn’t have to suffer tremendously. Sometimes simply clipping in hair extensions will cover up some flaws, and other situations may lead to you simply pulling your hair up into a ponytail. Regardless of how you’re feeling any given day, here are three lazy day hairstyles to consider to help you get through the day when you lack motivation for styling your hair.

hydrating shampooLow Bun

The low bun literally takes a few seconds to do, since it doesn’t require straightening or a significant amount of quality hair care products. In fact, the entire purpose of this hairstyle is to appear messy, but still look like you didn’t just roll out of bed and go to work. You can make the low bun as messy or as clean as you’d like by pulling out hair strands from the bun, or making it tighter or looser as a whole. Throw in some simple jewelry and you’ll be ready to head out the door within minutes upon getting out of bed.

High Ponytail

We aren’t making any breakthrough discoveries here by telling you the high ponytail is the ultimate lazy day hairstyle. This is the go-to hairstyle for any lazy day, but have you ever added in hair extensions to go with it? Hair extensions will add both length and volume to your ponytail, which makes it look like you spent a lot more time on it than you actually did. This is just another good reason why it’s always handy to have hair extensions available, since you never know when they’ll come into good use.

Down With Accessories

If you’re lucky enough to have straight hair without having to spend a lot of time straightening it, then you may not have any issues with finding a lazy day hairstyle. But if you want to spice up your hairstyle while still wearing it down, consider incorporating a hair band or other accessories. Drawing some attention to the accessories you use is a great way to hide any flaws in your hair, especially if your lazy hair day is combined with a bad hair day.

RemySoft understands everyone has to have a lazy hair day every now and then. It’s much easier to still have your hair looking great on a lazy day when you have healthy hair. By using a quality hydrating shampoo often and maintaining an overall good hair care routine, lazy hair days are no big deal. If there’s ever anything we can do to help with your hairstyle by providing tips or the right products for you, don’t hesitate to contact us at any time.

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.

Is Your Hair Color Ready for Fall?

Summer has drawn to a close, which can mean many different things for your hair. You may have gone with a lighter color for the summer and now want to go with a darker tone for the fall. Or you may want to change up the style drastically. Either way, the change in seasons is a perfect time to consider new options. And with the right hair products for Remy hair, you can maintain your new color or style throughout the fall months. Here are the top hair colors you don’t want to miss this fall.

Orange Ombre

If you’re ready to step out of your comfort zone and get into the spirit of fall, then the orange ombre hairstyle may be perfect for you. The great thing about the ombre style is you don’t have to make a drastic change and have completely orange hair. You can play around with the shade of orange you go with, and the faded color down to the tips of the hair can make the change seem less drastic. Just be sure to use the hair products for Remy hair designed to maintain the color so it always looks great.

Strawberry Blonde

The strawberry blonde hair color is one of the most popular fall styles, as almost anyone can pull it off. It’s not too light or dark, and your stylist can tweak the color to customize it to your liking. Since the strawberry blonde isn’t a drastic color, people like to start out with it at the beginning of the fall since it creates more of a subtle transition that fits right in with your usual quality hair care routine.

Brunette With Highlights

The standard brunette color can be a major change if you have a lighter hair color. But if you’re already a brunette and don’t necessarily want to go all blonde, consider incorporating highlights. There are plenty of warm highlight colors to add a subtle change to your hair without drawing a lot of attention to it. Just be sure to use the best sulfate free shampoo you can find to ensure the highlights maintain their color for as long as possible and don’t fade quickly.

best sulfate free shampooCaramel

Not sure whether you want to go more blonde or brunette this fall? Caramel may be the best option for an in-between color for you. You could make your entire hair color caramel, or just add in some caramel highlights. Either way, this color isn’t too light or too dark and often provides the perfect transition for people who aren’t quite ready to make drastic changes to their hair color.

RemySoft is your one-stop shop for all the hair products for Remy hair you will ever need. We know exactly what products to use for any hairstyle or color. Fall is the perfect time to experiment with different options, so take advantage of it. And never hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need some hair care tips.

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. To learn more about both, don’t hesitate to contact us and we will help you achieve the hairstyle that stood out to you the most at the Emmys.
