Do you sometimes struggle with dull and lifeless hair? If so, you aren’t alone. There are many reasons why your hair may look this way. It could be because of the climate you live in, the hair products you use, the hair care techniques you incorporate or even genetics. However, with a few changes to your quality hair care routine, you can slowly transform your dull and lifeless hair to the shiny and healthy hair you’ve been wanting. Here are four tips to help get you started.

Don’t Wash Your Hair As Often

A common misconception is thinking washing your hair more will make it shinier. The truth is the more you wash it, the more you’re stripping the natural oils from the hair and making it harder for the body to catch up in producing enough. So if you wash your hair every two days, skip a day and wash it every third day instead. And be sure to use a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to further protect the hair. Simply skipping a wash occasionally may slowly give you the results you desire and you’ll notice the shine being restored after a week or two.

Seal Your Cuticles With A Cold Water Rinse

Once you’ve used your sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, rinse it out with cold water instead of warm water. The cold water seals off your cuticles better in order to reduce the amount of frizz you experience. Then be sure to dab your hair dry with a microfiber towel if possible to further protect it. These steps are often overlooked but are critical in maintaining shiny hair.

Use The Right Hair Brush

The wrong hairbrush could be damaging your hair with every stroke. A good brush will have natural bristles that are as gentle on the hair as possible. The natural bristles also help spread out the oils from the roots of the hair all the way through the ends. One of the most common quality hair care questions we get is how to prevent oily roots, and using the right hair brush and brushing technique is often the answer.

Prioritize Hair Protection Products

If you regularly use heat tools, investing in a good protective hair serum is essential. Heat can damage hair quickly and make it virtually impossible to keep sleek and shiny. While it’s always a good practice to minimize the use of these tools as much as possible, using a protective hair serum at the very least is recommended. It will help prevent brittle hair, which can lead to breakage, frizziness and dull hair.

RemySoft can help restore the shine in any hair type. We’ve learned plenty of quality hair care tips and tricks over the years and we are always happy to pass them down to our customers. Having shiny hair that’s full of life can transform your entire mood to an extent, and these four simple tips can help you get there.

Have you ever noticed the hottest hairstyle trends typically originate from the runway? Celebrity hairstyles are always critiqued down to the smallest details, and one of the reasons why this is true is because the average person wants to know how they can accomplish the gorgeous hairstyles themselves at home. You would be surprised at how simple some of the hairstyles are and how much shiny hair extensions plays a role in creating them. Here are some of the most popular hairstyles we’ve seen on the runway over the past several months and how you can incorporate them into your portfolio of hairstyles.

The Sleek Bun

Putting your hair into a bun may not sound like the most glamorous hairstyle, but you can polish it up to the point where it looks amazing. Two secrets for a sleek tight bun are using shiny hair extensions and twisting up the hair in different sections. The more hair extensions you use, the bigger the bun will be. The polished look will match well with any wardrobe type and allows you to highlight your facial features as well.

Long Braids

Whether you prefer tight braids, loose braids, small braids or voluminous braids, one trend on the runway has been braids with length. A combination of shiny hair extensions and sulfate free shampoo can make working with braided hair easy and look slick and polished. A popular hairstyle with long braids starts out being styled at the top of the head like a high ponytail, but then the braids get draped over the front of the body instead of flowing down the back like traditional styles.

Curly Bangs

People with curly hair often struggle with whether to incorporate bangs with their hair or not. But when you see celebrities who have done it, your decision will be made much easier. The main secret to having curly bangs is to use the proper hair products to fit the type of curls you have so they will hold their shape. This could be a good leave in conditioner or other products to maintain the perfect amount of hydration in the hair.

Any Hairstyle With Hair Barrettes

Hair barrettes are making a major comeback and it’s evident when you look at celebrities on the runway. You can use barrettes in virtually any hairstyle and instantly make it look more glamorous. We’ve seen them used in basic ponytails, braids, curls, waves or even straight and sleek hairstyles. Anyone can enhance the appearance of their hair with barrettes and you’re only limited to your own amount of creativity.

RemySoft always analyzes the most popular hairstyles we see celebrities have on the runway so we can offer tips to our customers. We get as much inspiration from these hairstyles as you do, and most of the time we can’t wait to clip in our shiny hair extensions and start experimenting ourselves. If you’ve been inspired by any particular hairstyle recently, give us a call to discuss it and see how you can put it in your portfolio of hairstyles.

The spring season has always been the most common time of year for people to experiment with different hairstyles. After being stuck indoors for a good part of the fall and winter months, sometimes it just feels nice to give your appearance a fresh new look. While completely transforming your quality hair care routine is entirely possible, you don’t have to make a drastic change to your hair to create a significant impact. Incorporating hair accessories into your existing hairstyles can make a world of difference. Here are three popular hair accessories you’ll see this spring and may consider trying out for yourself.

Stylish Headbands

You can make as big of a statement as you want with all the different headband options available. A solid black one may be ideal for a casual night out, or you could wear one with a certain mix of designs and colors if you really want to make your hairstyle stand out. Possibly the best thing about headbands is they can make your hair look great, even if you forgot to use your hydrating shampoo and you’re having a bad hair day as a result.

Hair Clips And Barrettes

Hair clips and barrettes can make a simple hairstyle look glamorous, depending on how flashy the accessory is itself. It’s amazing what a shiny barrette can do when you add it to a simple ponytail. And when you create more length with hair extensions, you can incorporate even more of these accessories. Feel free to mix and match different types until you achieve the look you’re going for. With so many different colors, styles, shapes and other options, you’re only limited to how creative you want to be.

Cute Bows

Some cute bows are essential to have in your quality hair care collection. There will always be times when you simply want to pull your hair back into a ponytail and not spend a lot of time on it. Taking a few extra seconds to put in a bow will make your ponytail look extra special, and other people won’t even guess it’s your lazy-day hairstyle. Bows with solid colors are always popular, but you can also get different patterns depending on how bold you’re feeling. It’s always good to have a mix of different colors and styles to fit your mood for any given day.

RemySoft is a big fan of hair accessories that make a simple hairstyle look even better. When you’re looking for different hairstyles to try out, think about adding hair extensions and some accessories and you can experiment without having to make any drastic permanent changes to your hair. You may end up finding the perfect combination you wear for the majority of the spring season. Be sure to contact us at any time for tips and advice on how to mix and match your hair accessories to achieve your desired look.

After just barely getting over the excitement and hype from the Grammy Awards, the Oscars arrived with plenty of anticipation. So many celebrities had amazing hairstyles at the Grammys and would seemingly have a hard time following them up. But of course, they found a way to do so and leave us completely in awe with all the great hairstyles. Their quality hair care techniques were definitely on display, and here are some of the most inspirational styles we saw.

Lady Gaga’s Platinum Sculptured Look

Lady Gaga stole the show at the Grammys and followed it up in a big way at the Oscars. Still rocking the platinum hair color, this time she decided to create an updo that was truly a work of art. Plenty of quality hair care products were used to hold her sculptured hair in place. Having her hair off of her neck also highlighted her stunning diamond necklace and required everyone to do a double-take when they saw her.

Jennifer Lopez’s Side-Swept Waves

The hairstyle Jennifer Lopez went with was perfect for her. She started with a full blow out, created subtle waves and swept them to the side. Paired with beautiful jewelry, her hair definitely stood out and complemented her entire wardrobe flawlessly. Creating this hairstyle yourself may simply only take some hair extensions to make the waves perfect and to sweep them to the side easily. As wonderful as the hairstyle looked, it may be the simplest one we saw that can be created at home. 

Tessa Thompson’s Brushed Back Curls

Tessa Thompson wanted to make a statement with gold, and she did so in a big way. Her gold earrings, gold-trimmed gown and gold eyeshadow were all highlighted because of her brushed back curly hairstyle. It’s clear she used a quality sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to make her hair look so sleek and curly, and she accomplished exactly what she wanted to. 

Kacey Musgraves’ Low And Shiny Ponytail

Kacey Musgraves went with a simple hairstyle to complement her stunning pink dress. Her low ponytail was so sleek and shiny, but it didn’t take away from the highlight of her wardrobe, which was clearly her dress. Her hairstyle proves you don’t have to do anything over-the-top to make an impression. Just some hair extensions and great quality hair care techniques can go a long way in giving you a simple and elegant hairstyle like this one.

RemySoft always gets questions about how the average person can pull off some of their favorite looks from the Oscars. As much glory as the celebrities get with their hairstyles, you may be surprised at how simple some of them are to accomplish from the comfort of your home. It all comes down to knowing the right techniques and having the appropriate products, so contact us today to see what all you need to create the hairstyle that inspired you the most from the Oscars.

Making your hair look voluminous while you’re styling is easy. Maintaining that volume throughout the day is what can be frustrating for anyone. You spend so much time ensuring your hair is exactly how you want it, only to find it looking dull and flat by mid-morning. This can happen to anyone, and particularly people with short hair. Sometimes grabbing your shiny hair extensions is the best route to go when you need to maintain volume. Here are some other tips to maintain your voluminous hairstyle throughout the day.

Part Your Hair Differently

If you are used to parting your hair one way, try parting it the opposite direction. Your hair can get used to laying down a certain way, essentially training the roots to go in one direction. So when you switch up the part, your roots have no choice but to lift up and you’ll maintain the volume throughout the day and for the next several days at least. It’s amazing what this one simple change to your quality hair care routine can do to your appearance.

Give Your Hair A Tease

When you tease your hair, the roots are forced to stand upright and will add instant volume. Be sure to use a quality paddle brush to make sure you don’t damage your roots in the process, and use your favorite hair products for Remy hair to help it hold in place. The more you tease your hair, the more voluminous it will appear.

Use Volumizing Hair Products

Having volumizing hair products for Remy hair in your collection will always help you out when you need them. This could include a volumizing shampoo and conditioner or other products to use after your shower. Dry shampoo can also be a quick fix when you’re in a pinch. The idea behind these types of products is to remove excess moisture from the hair roots so they will stand straight up and not be weighed down by the oils.

Add Hair Extensions

The great thing about shiny hair extensions is they add both length and volume instantly. People with short hair should select hair extensions that are slightly thicker than their natural hair so the strands will blend in easily. And with most shiny hair extensions, you can use the same volumizing hair products you use with your natural hair in order to maximize the volume.

RemySoft believes some of the best hairstyles are the simplest ones. Having an abundance of hair products for Remy hair is fine, but you have to be careful to not use a lot at once. In most situations, the fewer hair products you use, the more voluminous the hair will be. For more hair tips like these, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at any time.

Celebrities and other personalities often dictate what the latest hairstyle trends are for any given year. Sometimes people want to mock the hairstyles they see exactly, while others simply use what they see as inspiration to create their own unique style. And with all the creative options available, this could be the year of the simple hairstyle. With the popularity of hair extensions continuing to increase, people are open to trying more styling options without significantly altering their natural hair. Here are three hairstyles we expect to become popular this year.

Wet Hairstyles

Have you seen someone’s hairstyle that looks like they just got out of the shower, yet it looks wonderful? The wet hairstyle is going to be popular this year because it’s easy to achieve. It can be straight or wavy, always looks sleek and doesn’t require a major change to your quality hair care routine. It begins with using the best sulfate free shampoo and then incorporating moisturizing products to make the hair shine throughout the day.

Center-Part Bangs

Bangs that are center-parted are also called curtain bangs. A hair trend we have been noticing lately is an emphasis on the bangs and trying out different styles. It’s amazing how much a simple alteration to your bangs can transform your entire look. Using the best sulfate free shampoo can make your bangs look healthy and shiny, and center-parting them frames the face to highlight your stunning facial features.

Rounded Bob

The rounded bob could end up being the most popular hairstyle this year. We are seeing more people opt for shorter hair than having long hair, but you can still use hair extensions to pull off the rounded bob. Simply create a deep part to one side and add some texture as desired to the rest of the hair. The idea with this hairstyle is to create a soft and bouncy appearance. Your hairstylist can use different trimming techniques to achieve the result you desire.

The experts at RemySoft pay attention to the latest hairstyle trends all the time. We take a lot of inspiration from celebrity hairstylists and try to figure out how the average person can alter their quality hair care routine to create a similar style. Most of the time it’s surprising to see how simple it is to create an elegant hairstyle, and we all know the simpler it is to create, the better it is overall. Whether you’re looking to make subtle or drastic changes to your hairstyle, we have plenty of ideas to help you depending on your hair type. We are always willing to discuss creative concepts, so contact us at any time.

The 2019 Golden Globe Awards are behind us, but we still can’t stop thinking about some of the stunning hairstyles we saw on the red carpet. Whether it was Lady Gaga’s bold statement matching her hair color to her dress, Chris Messina going with a platinum blonde look or Jamie Lee Curtis going all natural, there were plenty of great hairstyles on display. Here’s a look at some of the top hairstyles we saw, and some of them you may even be able to achieve on your own with the right quality hair care routine.

Lady Gaga’s Bold Look

The only thing more magnificent than Lady Gaga’s lavender-blue dress was her matching hair color. While her hair color isn’t anything out of the ordinary for hair stylists, it’s one of the very few times it’s been paired with a matching dress color. The subtle blue shade in her hair really stood out among the other celebrities and was a talking point of the night. If you want to incorporate a similar shade in your hair, just be sure to wash with your sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to ensure the color stays vibrant. 

Chris Messina Goes Platinum Blonde

Chris Messina may have generated the most buzz with his hairstyle transformation. He typically has dark brown hair, but showed up at the Golden Globes with a drastic platinum blonde hairstyle. With all the discussions about his hairstyle, it wouldn’t be surprising if platinum blonde becomes more popular among men in the near future. 

Jamie Lee Curtis In All White

Jamie Lee Curtis made a statement at the Golden Globes by doing nothing extraordinary at all with her hair. No hair extensions, no dye, no accessories or anything else. Instead, she ditched her usual dye and decided to embrace her natural white hair color. Her snow white hair matched her all-white outfit and may have even provided inspiration for people to embrace their natural hair color.

Stunning Hair Accessories On Display

Many celebrities chose to keep their quality hair care routine simple and dolled up their hair with accessories. Caitriona Balfe’s diamond hair pins were certainly a hit, Nicole Kidman’s large black velvet bow provided a great finishing touch to an elegant hairstyle and Emily Blunt’s jewel pin turned a simple textured hairstyle into a thing of beauty. The various hair accessories on display at the Golden Globes proves you don’t necessarily have to add hair extensions or do anything drastic with your hair to make a statement and look amazing. 

RemySoft enjoys seeing all of the creative hairstyles on display any time celebrities walk the red carpet. However, we truly believe the average person can accomplish similar styles with the right quality hair care routine and advice from a great stylist. If you saw a hairstyle at the Golden Globes you like and want to try to copy, contact us to learn about some of the secret tips to help you achieve it.

You hear many people say they are just trying to get through the winter and will take care of any quality hair care needs when the weather starts warming up again. But just because the weather is cold and dreary outside doesn’t mean your hair has to reflect a similar appearance. There are plenty of winter hairstyles that are easy to create and look fantastic. Here are four different hairstyles we are particularly interested in and you should consider trying out this winter.

Curly And Voluminous

There’s a difference between voluminous curls and beachy waves, although the technique for creating them is similar. What you’ll need to achieve this hairstyle is a great sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, a quality hair dryer and some hair extensions if you need some added length or volume. Simply curl your hair as tightly as you’d like, let them loose and run your fingers through the curls and you’ll have a bouncy hairstyle that is perfect for any occasion.

Textured Ponytail

Spice up your traditional ponytail this winter with a little texture. Again, if you need hair extensions for length or volume, then feel free to incorporate them for this hairstyle as well. The goal with this hairstyle is to create flat and sleek hair on the top of your head and then texturize the ponytail how you want to, whether it’s curls, waves or anything else.

Tied Up

There’s nothing wrong with tying up your hair with an attractive accessory. And the great thing about tying up your hair is you have so many different options to consider. You could tie up your bangs or let them hang down. You can make the hair on the top of the head flat and sleek or pull some out of the tie to give it a messy appearance. No matter which option you choose, you can spruce it up even more by incorporating a ribbon or bow of your choice.

Flipped Out

The flipped out hairstyle may seem old school, but it’s beginning to trend again for good reasons. You can flip it out by parting it down the middle or doing a deep part from one side to the other. Be sure to wash your hair with a good sulfate free shampoo and conditioner so it will be easier to work with and look nice and shiny. This hairstyle is perfect for people who have medium-length hair that goes down to around the shoulders.

RemySoft has all of the latest tips, tricks and trends when it comes to winter hairstyles. With holiday parties, family gatherings and other events just around the corner, you need to have a few hairstyles ready to go. Give these simple winter hairstyles a try for your next event, and never hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about how to create them or anything specific to your hair.

We all have those days where we sleep in a little later, wake up with dreadful-looking hair or just simply don’t feel like styling your hair. Ladies will often just opt for a ponytail, while men usually rub in some hair products to cover up their bad hair day. While there’s nothing wrong with these strategies, there are plenty of other everyday hair fixes and hacks you can incorporate when you are having one of these days. It’s ok to skip out on your quality hair care routine occasionally, and here are some options you have when the time comes.

Change Your Shampoo

Did you know your shampoo could be the reason why you have so many bad hair days? The wrong shampoo can lead to dry hair, which causes it to break and potentially create frizziness. Instead, switch your shampoo to the best sulfate free shampoo you can find. You’ll likely notice fewer bad hair days when you wake up in the morning as a result. But at the very least, your hair will look nice and shiny even on a lazy hair day.

Create Waves Instead of Curls

Instead of curling your hair, go with a wavy hairstyle. Not only is it quicker, but it looks just as good most of the time. A quick fix for wavy hair is to braid the hair into several separate braids, then heat them up with your hair straightener. Let down each braid individually, fluff them with your fingers a bit and you’ll have a quick wavy hairstyle that looks like you spent hours styling.

Add Volume With Hair Extensions

There’s no shame in reaching for your hair extensions when you aren’t in the mood to style your hair. Hair extensions can add a significant amount of volume to your hair when it’s looking flat and dull. Of course, this usually isn’t a problem when you use the best sulfate free shampoo, but you never know when your hair will need a little pick-me-up. And even if you decide to simply wrap your hair up in a ponytail, using hair extensions will increase the volume of it and make it look even better.

Braid Wet Hair For Easy Curls

If you want curly hair one day, but know you aren’t going to have time in the morning to curl it, then consider an alternative method. Many ladies will get out of the shower and braid their hair while it’s still wet and then go to sleep. Then when they get up in the morning, they let out the braids, scrunch up the hair a bit and head out of the house with bouncy curls. Of course, the results can vary among the different hair types, but this quick hack is definitely worth a shot.

At RemySoft, we truly believe the simplest hairstyles can also be the most effective. Many of the best hairstyles you see on the red carpet or anywhere else don’t necessarily incorporate a ton of products. Rather, it’s the quality hair care routine they have every day. For more tips and tricks like this, don’t hesitate to contact us at any time.

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.

Layer 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.
