Quality hair care keeps fall colors looking great.

After a long summer of caring for your hair and making it look perfect on a daily basis, it can be easy to neglect it when autumn rolls around. However, it’s important to give your hair just as much care during the autumn months. As we begin making the transition to autumn, there are a few things you can do now to make sure your hair doesn’t go into shock when the cooler temperatures set in.

1. Help Your Natural Hair Texture

Knowing how your hair reacts to changes in climate will help you make an easy transition from summer to fall. Your climate may be hot and humid in the summer, but cool and dry in the fall. Don’t try to fight your hair and make it do something it simply can’t do. Sometimes even the highest quality hair care products can’t make your hair look as good as it does naturally.

2. Pay Attention to Color

A great sulfate free shampoo is a necessity.

You may have gone with a lighter color for summer or it may have lightened on its own, depending on how much time you spent outside. Autumn is generally the season for darker colors. To make sure the color stays, don’t wash your hair as much. You may even benefit from finding a great sulfate free shampoo to help protect your natural hair color and keep the protein and moisture levels high in your hair. This will ensure a darker color will look even better!

3. Volumize

As the humidity decreases in the autumn months, you will notice your hair getting flatter with time. Our hair products for remy hair include a great volumizer to help the roots of your hair perk up so you’ll never have the dreaded “flat head.”

4. Invest in a Good Shampoo

During the summer, you may have sprayed sunscreen on yourself when you went to the beach or other places. That could lead to build-up in the roots of your hair as you move into autumn. The best thing you can do to start the new season off right is to invest in a clarifying shampoo. It will help restore any damage and detoxify your scalp. Be sure to only use it once every couple weeks since it is potent and could cause irritation or even change your hair color.

At RemySoft, we have all the great hair care products for kicking off autumn on the right track.  Be sure to contact us for the latest trends and more tips like these!

What could be a more iconic element of summer than getting your hair freshly dyed just in time to hang out with friends and hit the pool or the beach? Before you can get your hair done, however, you have to know just what hair color you’re going for! Luckily, a bundle of hot hair coloring trends have erupted so far for this summer. To help you decide, we’ve put together this list of some of the most popular hair colors to arrive this year.

Ombre

Believe it or not, ombre hasn’t quite faded out of style! Rather, it’s been refurbished into a much subtler look than it was in the past, composed of delicately brushed on highlights at the ends of the hair that fade to darker strands toward the root. In this way, it’s quite similar to the balayage trend that arose last year. If the dip-dyed gradient look still appeals to you, we recommend you give this look a try!

Platinum Blonde

We can’t imagine platinum blonde locks ever being unfashionable! Rather, it’s the exact shade of it that ebbs and flows in and out of the public eye. This summer, you can expect to find much cooler shades of platinum blonde, bordering more on frosty shades. If a whiter blonde isn’t quite the right shade for you, you can always blend your platinum blonde with other shades for a bit of balance and depth. It’s worth noting any shade of blonde hair will require lots of maintenance and quality hair care. However, it’s worth it to have that perfect bleach blonde look, especially if you’re an admirer of it!

“Nude”or Neutral Hair

This hair color is perhaps the most subtle one yet because it plays upon every shade of blonde that’s been popular within recent years and balances them out, while remaining highly pleasing to the eye. Nude hair is basically many shades of blonde layered together to create an even and alluring shade that works with every skin tone. You’ll love the way the summer sun bounces off this smooth hair color and makes your hair look spectacular! Just be sure to invest in some sulfate free shampoo to help maintain this particular color.

Black

Just as blonde will never be outdated, neither will black hair. Again, it’s all about the shade! Jet blacks are what’s popular this summer, despite its lack of association with the summer months. This color is great for brunettes and is quite easy for just about anyone to pull off, no highlighting necessary!

We hope we’ve given you a bit of inspiration for your new summer look! No matter what style you choose to go for, we urge you not to forget about maintenance. To protect your newly colored hair, you want to buy a few products that will preserve its color, such as a nice leave in conditioner.

Summer means several things for everyone: free time, fun, frolicking, trips to the pool or beach and picking out a brand new wardrobe to help you look cute while you’re having so much fun! If you’re going to step up your wardrobe, however, you’ll need an equally adorable hairstyle to match. The only problem is the devastation all the best parts of summer leave in their wake where your hair is concerned. What can be done to guard your hair against pool chemicals and the constant sunshine? We have a few hairstyle suggestions for those interested in sun protection for hair!

Bobs

Bobs have always been an extremely popular look and show no signs of stopping. 2016’s newest variant introduces sleek waves cut into soft layers. The best part is you can maintain this hairstyle fairly easily! All you need is to get your hair cut and layered appropriately, then add in the wavy aspect yourself with the help of a curling iron or another styling tool of choice. Simply curl the middle section of your strands. You don’t want too much curl, after all! All that’s left is to comb your fingers through to separate the curls and give it a stylishly messy look.

Buns

This style is perfect for those who want to keep their hair long and away from their face and neck on those days when it’s unbearably hot. To start with, you’ll have to have freshly washed your hair, spritzed with your favorite protective hair serum. Afterward, you can start tying your hair up high, starting with a ponytail before bundling it up into a stylish topknot! You’re guaranteed to remain comfortable and look unbelievably cute at the same time.

Ponytails

Ponytails are the classic style for every woman on the go, as well as every woman navigating through the summer months, while keeping their hair intact. While you shouldn’t wear your hair in super tight ponies every day, it’s a great way to style your hair comfortably every once in a while. This is another look that works best with freshly washed and dried hair. We recommend doing so with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to help your ponytail retain that sleek and healthy sheen. Simply tie your hair up as normal and you’re done. Just be sure to stay away from metal hair ties!

Loose Waves

There’s no way to look bad with loose hair, especially if a bit of wave and body are involved! While this look is easiest for girls with natural curls and waves, those with straight hair can pull this style off too. Just take your wet hair and style it into a bun overnight. When you’re ready, you can let your hair down and enjoy your brand new, gorgeous waves.

You want to look good every time of year, but especially during the summer. The problem, however, comes from all of the heat bearing down, persistent and at times overpowering. If you’re a wig owner, this can present a special conundrum altogether. You don’t want to go without your wig for the day during an outing, but you don’t want to sweat it out either. What is there to do?

With these tips from us, you’ll not only know how to care for a wig throughout the summer months, but be able to rock it just as easily as you do during the rest of the year!

Cover Yourself

One easy way to help your wig look its best this summer is to protect it in the same way you would your natural hair, with a shady accessory like a hat! A hat, scarf or similar addition to your outfit is a great way to stay cool and block your wig from those harmful UV rays. Best of all, a well-coordinated piece of head wear will boost your summer wardrobe tenfold! If you’re worried about your wig losing its grip as you take your hat off, you can always invest in a liner. This will take care of any sweat beading up along your hairline and keep your wig nice, dry and tidy.

Ditch the Cap

While this idea may certainly sound unorthodox, you’ll be able to stay that much cooler if you stop relying on a wig cap during the summer. In fact, you can buy wigs that are perfectly wearable without a cap! You won’t have to worry about the quality of the wig, either. Wigs without a cap are just as wearable as wigs with caps. The only differences are breathability and their weight because they’re designed to be worn during warm weather months.

Invest in Protective Products

Because wigs cannot replenish their moisture the way hair attached to the scalp can, a wig is far more prone to heat damage and dryness, which shortens its lifespan tremendously. To fix this, start using wig shampoo and conditioner. This will help keep the wig hydrated and less vulnerable to harmful sun rays, enabling you to wear your wig as much as you want, even when it’s scorching out! There are other products you can invest in as well for the health of your wig. This includes sprays meant to boost the sheen of your wig. Finally, you should give your wig a nice shampoo after wearing it for five times in a row, at the most. While this may seem excessive, taking the time to perform a wig wash will help eliminate damage from your sweat.

There are many other ways to protect your wig from the summer heat, but these few suggestions are some of the most important to follow. We at RemySoft can help you with any dimension of your remy wig care needs, including full cap and partial cap hair replacement and more. Contact us to learn how you can help your wigs stay at their fullest potential!

You always want to look cute, even when you’re on the road. We completely understand! After all, you didn’t pack the best parts of your wardrobe for nothing. However, coordinating a great look while ducking in and out of airports and planes tends not to mesh well. Combine this with jetlag and exhaustion and maintaining your quality hair care routine easily becomes the last thing on your mind. What can you do? We have a few tips or, more accurately, easy hairstyle suggestions to keep your hair at its best while also making the idea of fussing with it the least of your cares while you’re seeing the world!

Fishtail Braids

The classic fishtail braid is not only easy to style your hair into but is extremely cute! Whether you’ve freshly washed your hair and worked in a bit of leave in conditioner or are throwing it up as-is, you’re sure to look great as you board your next flight or stop at the nearest airport Starbucks kiosk for a little pick-me-up. You can simply comb through your hair with your fingers while it’s wet or dry, then twine it into a fishtail braid on the side of your head and secure it with a band. After that, you’re ready to go!

Buns

Buns have to be the ultimate low-effort hairstyle, but they work wonders with any outfit! Best of all, styling your hair this way takes mere minutes and keeps it safely secured while you’re out and about. You won’t have to worry about it tumbling down into your eyes and get all the benefits of looking quite fashionable without investing too much of your time.

Chignons

Chignons are the siblings of the top-heavy bun and provide a more elegant touch to your travel style. While chignons take a little more effort, they hold up well no matter how far you’re traveling. Just be sure to bring plenty of hair pins to keep it in place.

Side Ponytails

If chignons are the siblings of buns, side ponytails are the cousins of fishtail braids. They have the same orientation, but a side ponytail isn’t bound up the way fishtail braids are—literally! This hairstyle combines easily with a hat to help you maintain some sun protection for hair if you’re anticipating going anywhere with lots of sunshine. Simply push all your hair to one side of your head and over your shoulder, then secure it with a good hair tie. Now you’re ready for adventure!

Twists

This hairstyle is a great solution for those with long hair who aren’t interested in fussing with it whatsoever in between flights. Again, this will require a bit of time and some pinning and pulling, but you’ll be able to glide through customs with ease, grace and the state of your hair being the farthest from your mind!

While summer is perhaps one of the most enjoyable seasons for many, thanks to its ample supply of free time and opportunities for outings with friends, it isn’t so good for your hair. The summer sun inflicts a lot of damage on your hair and can easily render it a barely manageable mess. If you’ve dealt with this unfortunate downside of the summer, we are here to the rescue! Here are a few handy tips for sun protection for hair, as well as helpful information and why and how your hair can go wrong.

For Frizziness…

Nearly everyone has dealt with this beast of a hair problem at some point, when a frayed, cloud-like mass takes over the space where your lovely hair used to be. People who treat their hair frequently with chemical products tend to experience this problem the most. In fact, the chemicals are the problem. Perms, dyes and other similar hair styling tools we rely upon on a frequent basis can harm our hair by stripping it of the oils and moisture it needs to thrive. As a result, your hair becomes brittle and dehydrated to the point it will take in moisture wherever it can get. Summer humidity tends to be the perfect source.

To remedy this problem, you want to first invest in sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, which will help restore and lock in moisture within your hair. You may also want to consider relying on anti-frizz products until the next time you wash your hair.

For Dull Hair…

This problem is quite the opposite of what we discussed above. Rather than your hair puffing out, you may experience it weighing down until it becomes a lackluster straggle hanging floppily from your scalp. What’s the deal? Again, it’s the summer humidity! The excess water hanging in the air will easily latch onto your hair and make it far heavier than it should be.

To fix this, you want to try using a leave in conditioner and related products to boost the amount of proteins in your hair, which will make it more resistant to weighty moisture. In the meantime, you can use sprays that fight off moisture to help your hair thrive.

For Chlorine-Damaged Hair…

This problem is especially relevant for pool lovers. The sunlight and chlorine from the pool (and/or simply using far too much product) can combine to create less than desirable effects upon your hair, eliminating the sheen. Either way, your hair suffers from one of two problems: too much residue or too much dryness.

Again, a good sulfate free shampoo and conditioner should do the trick by cleaning your hair of any residue and restoring necessary moisture. You can also flat iron your hair to tide you over until your next wash day.

With the advent of summer comes a whole slew of opportunities, from vacations to outings to splurging on a new wardrobe. Why not change up your hairstyle while you’re at it? Many trends are arising this summer, which you may not want to miss out on. Luckily, we’re here to inform you of what these trends are and how you can join in on them yourself! Read on to learn all about them.

Blue

Blue is a seemingly underutilized hair color, despite its flexibility and ability to look great on just about anyone. Blue comes in such a large variety of shades that, if you are interested in trying out an unnatural hair color, you should be able to find the perfect hue for you. Furthermore, there are many ways to implement it into your locks, such as through a bit of peekaboo highlighting on your ends, covering your entire hair or streaking it through and blending it in with a cool shade of black. Either way, you’re sure to turn heads with hair of this color, as well as love the way it looks on you!

Ronze

You may have heard of bronde hair. Ronze is essentially bronde’s counterpart but tailored toward those with naturally ginger locks. Much like blue hair, ronze is flexible enough to look great on anyone. While the style essentially consists of bronzy and coppery shades blended together, it can be altered, depending upon your skin tone. If you’re darker-skinned, you’ll want a much deeper version of this hair color. Paler people will want to go brighter. Ultimately, the shade of this particular look is up to you and your hairstylist!

Platinum Blonde

This is one hair hue that will never die out in terms of trendiness! While upkeep depends greatly on regular maintenance and a well-fortified supply of sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, you can easily make it work for you! Much like the other colors we’ve listed so far, platinum blonde isn’t limited to the snowy white you’ve most commonly seen. There are all sorts of shades for all types of skin tones, meaning you can experiment with as many hues as you want until you find the right one.

Babylights

Named after their youthful inspiration, the natural highlighting found in children with blonde hair, babylights are a great way to try out highlighting, especially if you don’t have a lot of time to devote to regular maintenance. The best part of this coloring style is it will blend easily with your root color as you allow your hair to grow. Since babylights are more about technique than color, you can apply this look to any hair color imaginable. Just be sure to invest in a leave in conditioner for that small bit of maintenance you need to take care of!

No matter what style you end up going for, you must remember to invest equally in sun protection for hair in order to help your new style flourish. Feel free to contact us for more hair advice!

This may sound vain, but you cannot have a truly great bridal ensemble without the perfect hairstyle. Think of your hair as the pièce de résistance of your wedding attire, the cherry on top of the world’s most artful sundae. You can’t just pick a hairstyle haphazardly for this special occasion! You want something that meshes well with your dress and helps you feel even more beautiful than you already are. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself before heading off to see your wedding stylist.

Don’t Forget Your Hair Accessories

When you went dress shopping, you likely already decided on which accessory you wanted to go with it. For many people, this would be either a veil or a tiara, though plenty of other options exist and complement a well-made and becoming dress just as beautifully. You will have to consider the accessory you want to wear as part of your bridal ensemble while you’re deciding on a hairstyle because it will have to incorporate this accessory in some way.

Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment!

You definitely want to research all types of styles before you decide which one is right for you. The best time to do this would be several weeks before your actual wedding date for the sake of allowing yourself ample time to really think about this. Do a bit of googling. Sift through bridal style blogs. Hop onto Pinterest and flip through all the bridal images, saving the ones you really like. If you’d like, you can even consult your hairstylist with a few references you’re considering in tow. They can help you decide which hairstyle would be the most fitting.

Your Natural Hair Texture Matters

Think about the natural attributes of your hair, as well as what you personally like to wear or what styles you have never tried before. You may surprise yourself by picking something you would have never worn otherwise but still looks splendid on you! Be sure to take other elements into account alongside your hair texture, including the venue and theme of your wedding. If you’re going for a traditional wedding, a classic hairstyle, such as an updo, would probably be more fitting than loose hair with a unique adornment. Be sure to stick to your quality hair care regimen for maximum results too!

Match Your Hairstyle to Your Dress.

This last point goes back to what we said in the paragraph before this: think about the theme of your wedding and what style of dress you’ve chosen. You want to pick a hairstyle that matches this, if only for the sake of consistency.

No matter what hairstyle you choose, there are many ways to create a stunning bridal look for yourself with the help of hair products for remy hair. This will prove especially useful for those planning outdoor weddings because sun protection for hair will matter just as much as the right style.

Here’s How to Pick the Best Hair Color for You!

Experimentation has always been deeply ingrained into human behavior, from the way we live to the way we style ourselves. This includes our clothing, our makeup and especially our hair. It’s entirely natural to look for a change of hair color, but making that decision can be tricky! While your first impulse may be to pick the color you like best, you may also be concerned with choosing one that looks good on you, which is understandable! Selecting any kind of hair styling you like and makes you look great is vital to quality hair care. We’re dedicated to helping people look and feel good, which is why we have put together this guide on how to select the best hair color as well as lend you some suggestions.

Where Do I Start?

This is the first and most common question people ask when they’re considering dyeing their hair. Luckily, the answer to this question is somewhat simple: start with your skin tone! Almost every person on Earth will find their skin tone fits into one of two undertone categories: cool or warm. How can you figure out just what your undertones are? The easiest way is to take a glimpse at your wrists. Study the veins running through them and take note of what color they appear to be through your skin. Blue veins mean your undertones are cool. Green veins mean they are warm. The darkness of your skin matters to some extent. For instance, if you are pale with cool undertones, you may want to try warm, sunny hair colors.

If you don’t want to base your hair color off your undertones, you can also observe your eye color. Certain hair colors look much better with light eye colors, while others look better with dark eyes. For the sake of simplicity, we will be offering suggestions based on your undertones.

For Warm Undertones

Cool hair colors will thrive against warm skin. Consider going with an auburn, ash brown, brunette or dusky blonde color for your next dye work! If you don’t want to go all the way with your hair color, feel free to add cool-toned highlighting instead to give your hair more dimension and still create a pleasant contrast against your skin.

For Cool Undertones

Invert the advice we gave to those with warm undertones and you’ll be set. If you have cool skin, warmer hair color will look best on you! Think rich browns, bright strawberry-like reds and nutty shades of blonde. Again, highlighting is a great option if you don’t want to commit full-on. No matter what you decide to do with your hair color, however, you should be sure to keep it healthy with a regular routine and sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. The dyeing process is strenuous and drying for your hair so leave in conditioner will work wonders to limit any damage.
