If you’re looking for a trendy hairstyle that gives you many different styling options, then shadow roots may be a great choice. Shadow roots simply mean the color of your hair roots is a darker color than the rest of your hair, creating a shadow effect. With the right quality hair care techniques, you can achieve shadow roots with virtually any colors. Most people tend to keep the roots a similar shade as the rest of their hair to create the full shadow effect without causing any harsh contrasts in color. If you’re not sure whether shadow roots are right for you, here are some things to consider about their benefits.

Style While Growing Your Hair Out

Growing out hair can be tough, especially throughout the transition. It’s seemingly impossible to create a great hairstyle when your hair is different lengths and colors. This is all part of the growing out process, but shadow roots may help cover up some of the flaws. Growing out your previous hair color isn’t nearly as awkward with shadow roots. And if you need to, you can always use quality hair care products like hair extensions to help you get through any awkward phases of the growing out process.

Less Dye Is Needed For Shadow Roots

Since having shadow roots doesn’t require as much dye as other techniques, you can keep your hair healthier. It’s still worth using your sulfate free shampoo to ensure the oils from your strands won’t be stripped away and so the colors will be maintained for a longer time. You have so many different options to choose from when it comes to shadow root colors, and you can feel confident about choosing them since you won’t need to use as much dye.

Easy To Maintain

Shadow roots start with your natural hair color, so you won’t necessarily have to maintain it frequently. You can let your hair grow out long without having to dye it as often as you would if you dyed it all. Expect to have to dye it again after three months or so, but using sulfate free shampoo as your primary shampoo and other quality hair products for Remy hair may extend that duration even longer.

Add A Voluminous Effect

Many people say their shadow roots give the illusion of added volume. The shadow effect adds a dimension to your hair that gives it the appearance of being full. So even if it’s not your intention to add this dimension when you create your shadow roots, you can enjoy the benefits of it.

RemySoft likes everything about shadow roots. They are easy to create, simple to maintain and you don’t have to go through as harsh of a transition period if you want to grow your hair out. If you’re thinking about adopting this trendy hair trick, contact us today to see how we can help you get started.

The spring season signifies the time of year when a lot of people start booking travel plans. The first big vacation many people take is during spring break, which will be here before you know it. You’ve got a lot of different things to plan for and pack, but you can’t forget about your hair. Investing in a quality leave-in conditioner may be all you need to survive your upcoming vacation, but here are some other products to consider taking along with you as well.

Use Sulfate Free Shampoo And Conditioner

Whether you plan on washing your hair every night or every couple of days during your trip, always wash with a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. It’s strong enough to clean your hair, yet gentle enough to ensure it doesn’t strip away all of the natural oils produced by your scalp. If you’re going to a humid location for your spring break trip, sulfate free shampoo and conditioner should be the first product you pack in your suitcase.

Heat Protection Products

Assuming you’ll be spending a decent amount of time in the sun during spring break, be sure to pack sun protection for hair. Excessive UV rays can make your hair dry and brittle, so you don’t want to have to be fighting with styling it during your trip and afterward. Heat protection products are also valuable if you plan on using heat tools to style your hair during your trip. Of course, you could also turn down the temperature on those tools to reduce the risk of damaging your hair as well.

Dry Shampoo Is Great When You’re Short On Time

While we don’t necessarily promote dry shampoo as being a product you should use regularly, it’s no secret it can bail you out when you’re in a pinch. Sometimes after a long day of fun-filled activities, the last thing you want to do is wash your hair with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. Dry shampoo can come to the rescue to make your hair look presentable for another day or two until you’re able to wash it thoroughly.

Spray Bottle To Hydrate Your Hair

Keeping your hair hydrated is almost as important as hydrating your body. When you’re outdoors during spring break, remember your hair likely hasn’t been exposed to as many elements in the past few winter months. It can dry out quickly and end up tangled, knotted or brittle. You don’t need anything fancier than a spray bottle that you fill with water and carry along with you. Spritzing your hair with water every few hours when you’re outdoors can go a long way in keeping it healthy and hydrated no matter the weather elements.

RemySoft is excited about the change in seasons since it always brings new inspiration with hairstyles. Protecting your hair should always be the number one concern you have. Then once you have healthy hair, you have many more styling options to consider. If you have any questions or concerns about what hair products you should pack for your upcoming trip, feel free to contact us at any time.

We can only imagine the nerves and anxious feelings the celebrities have as they await the possibility of their name being called for an Oscar Award. But even before they walk the red carpet, it’s the hairstylists, makeup artists and other professionals who have to deal with nerves of making sure their celebrity looks amazing. In our views, the collective efforts did not disappoint with the celebrities we saw and the quality hair care products and techniques were on full display. Here are some of the most stunning looks that caught our attention at the Oscars.

Saoirse Ronan’s Wispy, Choppy Bangs

Bangs are often hit-or-miss when it comes to hairstyles, but Saoirse Ronan knocked them out of the park at the Oscars. Her wispy front bangs had a bit of choppiness to them that worked perfectly with her outfit and jewelry combination. The quality hair care technique of her stylist was evident as every hair strand was perfectly positioned to frame her face. Photo: Amy Sussman/Getty Images

Platinum Pixie Cut On Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron never fails to impress with her hairstyles. There’s nothing particularly fancy about her platinum pixie cut, but the side-swept deep part to go with it adds a touch of uniqueness. What many viewers of the Oscars may not have noticed are the shiny hair extensions on either side of her head and the black band that brought the look together in the back. The subtle creativeness is something Charlize Theron fans have come to expect over the years, and she delivered again at this event. Photo: Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP/Shutterstock

Florence Pugh’s Twisted Top Knot

It’s hard to say what aspect of Florence Pugh’s hairstyle was the most eye-catching: the twisted top knot or her dark roots. The entire hairstyle all worked together to make us take another look to truly admire the work her hairstylist did. Her hair is proof that patience pays off when you allow your hair to grow out and showcase those roots in different ways. Photo: Robyn Beck/AFP via Getty Images

Natalie Portman’s Textured Bob Cut

We are always going to see a few bob styles at the Oscar Awards, and Natalie Portman stole the show with hers this year. The blunt, textured hairstyle is one that works well at a glamorous event like this or even if you’re just an average person searching for a new look. The perfect middle part and face-framing attributes of this hairstyle took a basic look to the next level. The shininess of her locks also looks like the result of some great quality hair care products, including leave-in conditioner. Photo: Amy Sussman/Getty Images

RemySoft is always amazed at the various hairstyles we are honored to see at shows like the Oscars. While most of the celebrity hairstyles are the result of weeks of planning and hours of execution, the average person at home can pull off some version of their favorite hairstyle with a little planning of their own. See how we can help you transform your hairstyle by contacting us today.

Do you have big plans for this Valentine’s Day, but can’t decide how you want to style your hair for the special occasion? We understand where you’re coming from. Valentine’s Day is always a day where you want to go above and beyond to show your love for your significant other. Selecting the perfect hairstyle is typically the toughest decision, so we’ve helped you out with some inspiring styles that may not force you to alter your quality hair care routine significantly.

Low Bun

It’s amazing how a hairstyle as simple as a low bun can be made to be more glamorous with a few tweaks. Start by smoothing your hair as much as possible with a brush and then tease it slightly at the crown to maximize the volume of your hair. Secure the low bun and take a couple of sections of your straight hair to frame your face. It’s a stunning look that’s quicker to pull off than you’d think.

Loose, Voluminous Curls

If you need a hairstyle that will look great in the morning and last all day through your Valentine’s Day evening, then look no further than this one. Apply some leave-in conditioner the night before after washing with your sulfate free shampoo. Make your curls as big and loose as you can and apply quality hair care products to maximize the hold for the best results.

Long Beach Waves

For people with long hair past the shoulders, beachy waves can be a great attribute of your hairstyle. And even if you don’t have long locks, you can add shiny hair extensions and pull off the look. Simply curl your hair and then loosen the curls into the waves you desire. It’s an effortless look that also provides a certain amount of glamour that will be noticeable by anyone.

Silky, Shiny and Smooth Side Part

A simple and classy hairstyle for any Valentine’s Day date is the silky, shiny and smooth side part. The key to this hairstyle isn’t as much in the quality hair care routine, but rather, the hair products you use. Wash with sulfate free shampoo and apply a leave-in conditioner to provide a natural shine. Then simply part your hair to one side, brush it gently to make it as smooth as possible and apply your favorite products to maximize the shine.

RemySoft is here to help take some stress out of your Valentine’s Day plans. Your hairstyle might be a big part of your evening, but it doesn’t have to take all day to create the perfect look. These simple hairstyles will make you look and feel great no matter how you choose to celebrate the special occasion. If you have any questions or need any advice about your hair, reach out to us at any time.

In addition to hairstyles themselves, different hair colors also become trendy from time-to-time. If you’ve been thinking about changing up the color of your hair this year, you’ve got plenty of options and may not even have to change it permanently. Adding in hair extensions that are a different color from your natural hair can give it some highlights and can be removed at any time. But if you’re ready to go bold with a brand new hair color completely, then we’ve got you covered as well with some of the trendy colors for this year.

Brown Hair With Caramel Highlights

One of the trendiest styles today for people with brown hair is incorporating caramel highlights into it. You can choose to simply highlight the tips, start from the roots or even blend it in halfway. It’s such a subtle change, yet makes a big impact on your overall appearance. Keep the highlights looking great by washing with a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner so they won’t fade.

Vibrant Red

Red hair is becoming a trend that looks like it’s going to stick around for a while. It’s perfect if you already have warm undertones since the red color naturally warms up the appearance of your skin. You can choose to go as bright and vibrant as you want, or go with more of a darker red. Regardless of which level you choose, be sure to maintain a good quality hair care routine and only wash with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to ensure the color remains vibrant.

Dark Roots

One of the challenges of coloring your hair is keeping the color looking uniform for several months. Once your natural hair roots start growing out, you can either go back to the salon to color them or let them grow out. One of the trends we are seeing is to intentionally create the dark roots look by coloring the roots a darker color than the rest of your hair. Of course, you can accomplish this naturally if you have already dyed your hair a light color, but have dark roots and let them grow out. 

Silver Blonde

Completely silver hair was once a trend, but faded away pretty quickly. A popular trend today is more of a silver blonde look. Basically, you take a blonde hair color with silver undertones to achieve this style, which makes it almost have a dipped appearance. Your quality hair care routine is critical for this color to maintain the subtle contrast between the two colors.

RemySoft loves inspiring people who want to make a change to their hair. While it’s fun to change up your hair color occasionally, it can also be intimidating if you have any uncertainties. We are here to help ease your mind and talk you through what to expect, how to adjust your quality hair care routine and other things to look out for. If you have any questions at all, never hesitate to contact us.

The Golden Globes kicked off the awards season for 2020 with a lot of flair and amazing hairstyles. In addition to enjoying the pageantry of the awards themselves, we can’t help but notice the different hairstyles celebrities choose to honor the event. This year we noticed a combination of short hairstyles, tricks with hair extensions, creative use of accessories and much more. Here are some of the surprising hairstyles that stood out to us at the 2020 Golden Globes.

Zoey Deutch’s Sleek Cut

Zoey’s deep side part and clean, sculpted finish was one of the sleekest hairstyles we noticed on the red carpet. There’s nothing particularly fancy about the hairstyle that requires a detailed quality hair care routine, but the key to her look was ensuring every strand of hair was in place. And if you looked closely enough, you may have noticed a slight flip upward at the bottom that added a little something extra to the overall look. Image source: Getty / Daniele Venturelli

Glitter and Sparkle From Lucy Boynton

Lucy rocked one of the boldest hairstyles of the night in our opinion. Her metallic outfit matched her silver eyes, which both went perfectly with her platinum hair and glitter to finish the look. The short haircut with a center part looked even better with a touch of glitter on one side. Everything about Lucy Boynton was dazzling at the Golden Globes. Image source: Getty Images

Jennifer Aniston’s Long and Loose Locks

There’s not much to say about Jennifer Aniston’s hair because it looks gorgeous every time she walks the red carpet. Her effortless quality hair care regimen leads to effortless-looking hairstyles that are the envy of many. The caramel-toned strands and subtle waves offer a laid-back look that’s universal for any occasion. Image source: Steve Granitz/WireImage

Jennifer Lopez’s Multiple Braids

Jennifer Lopez may have rocked the hairstyle that people had to stop and truly admire the most. At first glance, it looks like a simple top knot or bun. But when you take a closer look, you will notice the bun consists of several rows of braids all wrapped together. You’re not alone if her hairstyle inspired you to do the same, so be sure to protect your hair with the best sulfate free shampoo and quality hair care products as you experiment.

RemySoft loves getting inspiration from celebrities who walk the red carpet at ceremonies like the Golden Globes.

Nothing looks and feels better than a fresh haircut. If you’ve been looking for a different haircut to start your New Year and rock for the remainder of the year, we’ve got some trendy styles to consider. Whether you have long hair, short hair, naturally straight or wavy hair, there’s certainly a style you can find that works well for you. Often times simple adjustments like switching to a great sulfate free shampoo or a leave-in conditioner can make a world of difference as well. Here are some of the top trendy haircuts for men we expect to see in 2020.

Natural and Messy Texture

Hairstyling with texture has been big in recent years, but having every strand of hair in place was also important. This year, the natural and messy textured hairstyles will be popular for many reasons. One is because it’s easy to do and you don’t need a lot of quality hair care products to achieve it. Another reason is because it doesn’t have to be precise and perfect to look great. Simply run your fingers through your hair for a tousled look and add some hair products to maintain the messy finish.

French Crop

The French crop is just a fancy term for a cropped fade or a textured crop. The combination of textured hair, a fade, fringe, shaved lines and even color makes this a trendy hairstyle selection this year. The French crop is versatile, so you can try it out whether you have long hair, short hair, wavy or curly hair and thick or thin hair. For men with thin hair, adding a little texture and fades gives it a thicker appearance.

Creative Necklines

Do you like the idea of changing up your appearance, but don’t necessarily want to change your hair drastically? Changing the way your neckline looks is a good compromise. Consider having your stylist make a straight cut, a v-shape, faded, half-straight or any other pattern you desire. You don’t have to change your quality hair care routine at all and the changes are so subtle that you may even forget you made the change.

New Twists To Classic Haircuts

Classic men’s hairstyles like slicked back hair, wavy side parts and high fades never truly go out of style. However, consider changing yours up this year by adding some texture or even parting your hair the opposite way of what you’re used to. Be creative with how you style this year and you may be the person who begins a new trend.

At RemySoft, we believe every perfect hairstyle starts with a great sulfate free shampoo. Having healthy hair is where good hairstyles begin, so consider switching out some of your products to ensure you’re using the best ones for your hair. Talk to your hairstylist about the best products available for your hair and what styles you could consider this year. And as always, contact us if you have any questions or need some hair care advice.

Many people like to make New Year’s resolutions to change or improve some aspect of their life. It’s a perfect time to reflect on how the past year went and take steps to make changes for the better, although most people don’t focus on their hair as they’re thinking about these things. This year, make your temptation of altering your hairstyle a reality. Add in hair extensions, make tweaks to your hair care habits and more. Here are some ideas to help you think about what may work for you.

Update Your Bangs

People often have a love-hate relationship with bangs. If you’ve never been a fan of bangs for whatever reason, consider giving them a try again this new year. But don’t go back to what didn’t work in the past. Side-swept bangs are trendy, easy to style and have a much different appearance than the blunt bangs you may be used to. With the right quality hair care products, bangs could be your new love this new year!

Try Some Highlights

If you’ve ever thought about getting highlights in your hair, now is a great time to strongly consider it. Start with a subtle change and work your way up if you like how they look. And if you’re not ready to commit to highlights, hair extensions are a great choice. You can invest in hair extensions that are a different color from your hair to make it look like you have highlights. Then if you don’t like the look, simply take them out and you can go back to having only your natural hair color.

Get A Short Cut

One of the biggest commitments and changes you can make is chopping your hair off shorter than ever before. If you’ve been thinking about rocking a bob, lob or pixie cut, make the New Year the time you take the plunge. You never know how much you’ll like it until you try, so if you’re feeling bold and want to make a drastic change, go with a short cut.

Color Your Hair Completely

Another option for making a drastic change is to color your hair completely. Whichever color you choose, be sure to use a good sulfate free shampoo and conditioner so the color remains vibrant for as long as possible. Coloring your hair is a great way to make a drastic change without having to change the length of your hair this New Year.

RemySoft has all the quality hair care products you need to make any type of change to your hair this New Year. Many people opt for hair extensions so they can make changes without making permanent commitments. Whatever your inspiration is for the New Year, we are here to help you with all of your hair care needs. Don’t hesitate to contact us at any time for advice or tips this New Year and beyond.

You’ve finally made it to the end of the year, and the end of the decade for that matter! New Year’s Eve is a perfect time to celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of the next. No matter how you choose to celebrate, picking the perfect hairstyle is often an afterthought. If you’re planning on having an eventful New Year’s Eve night, gather your hair products for Remy hair and check out these rocking hairstyles to consider.

Voluminous Waves

Do you have naturally straight hair? Spice things up this New Year’s Eve by incorporating some waves. And if you really want to take it up a notch, add in some shiny hair extensions to maximize the volume of those waves. It’s a perfect hairstyle for people with medium-to-long hair length. Massage in some hair products for Remy hair to hold the waves in place and you’ll be ready to party all night long with beautiful hair.

Twisted Ponytail With Glitter Hairspray

Take your basic high ponytail to the next level by twisting a section of it around the elastic band and pinning it underneath. And since this is New Year’s Eve, add some sparkle to your appearance with glitter hairspray. Spraying the hair just above the ponytail and some of the ponytail itself is enough to brighten up every room you walk into. Sparkle and shine this New Year’s Eve with this hairstyle.

Smooth and Shiny

There’s never anything wrong with a sleek, smooth and shiny hairstyle. Washing your hair with a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner is the first step. If you want to add some length, incorporate shiny hair extensions. Otherwise, simply brush through it gently until it’s sleek and straight and you’ll have a classy appearance all night.

Wavy Ponytail

A subtle change to the basic high ponytail is adding some waves to it. Simply curl your ponytail, apply some hair products for Remy hair and it’s ready to go. This is the perfect hairstyle if you’re in a rush, but don’t want to leave the house with a basic everyday hairstyle.

Enhance Any Hairstyle With Accessories

This is New Year’s Eve, so you’re allowed to be as creative as you want to be. Hair accessories can spice up even the most basic hairstyles when used the right way. Everything from pearls to scarves, pins to bows and everything in between can make your hairstyle more memorable for this special occasion. Get creative until you find the perfect combination that works for you.

RemySoft loves seeing all the wonderful hairstyles people choose for their New Year’s Eve parties. It’s such a great time to make a statement with your hair or try something new with no regrets.

Holiday parties provide the perfect opportunities to go all-out with your hair. No matter what texture or length your hair is, there’s likely a hairstyle you’ve thought about trying before but never have for any given reason. And if you haven’t thought about what hairstyles you’ll rock this holiday season, we’ve got some inspiration for you that may only require adding some hair products for Remy hair to your collection. 

Tucked Back Clean Part

This hairstyle is best suited for people with mid-length hair that goes down to around the shoulders or a little longer. Create a straight part right down the middle of your head and then put some small barrettes right above each ear to keep it tucked back. You don’t need many hair products for Remy hair to achieve this hairstyle and it looks great whether you have straight hair or slightly wavy hair.

Wet and Wavy

It’s possible to create a wet hair look to last all evening when you have the right hair products for Remy hair. Start by washing with a quality sulfate free shampoo so your hair won’t look oily. Then when you apply the hair product, which is usually a styling gel, you can create the perfect amount of waviness you’re aiming for.

Double-Twisted Bun

The double-twisted bun is much simpler to put together than it looks. The first part of the hairstyle is making two separate ponytails. Then simply twist them together and pin them when you get the look you want. The more twists you do, the more it will look like a traditional bun. But with just a couple of twists, it will look more like a knot with some hair strands hanging down from the ponytails.

Long Rapunzel Braid

If you have long hair, you have to consider going with a long Rapunzel braid just because you can. The one thing to caution you about is long braided hair like this can cause breakage if you have dry hair. The best way to combat this is to use sulfate free shampoo regularly to strengthen the hair so you won’t have anything to worry about. Nothing is more impressive than a lengthy braid that extends down the majority of your back.

Pinned Back Short Hair

People with short hair tend to wear it one way since they believe they have limited styling options. This is true to an extent, but there’s always a good accessory to incorporate to add some glamour. Style it how you desire with some hair products for Remy hair and then pin part of it back with classy barrettes or other accessories to take your holiday hairstyle to the next level.

RemySoft loves the holiday season for many reasons, and one of them is to see all of the creative hairstyles people choose. If you’re feeling creative and have an event you want to impress at, contact us for some more tips and techniques to help you regardless of the texture and length of your hair.
