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.

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.    Photo: Getty Images

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.      Photo: Getty Images

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

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

Fine Hair Doesn’t Require As Much Heat

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

hair products for remy hairHigher Quality Blow Dryers Protect The Hair

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

Hair Products Are Just As Important

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

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

All Your Hair Extension Questions Answered

One of the first things some people do when they want to change up their hairstyle is reach for shiny hair extensions. While it’s true that hair extensions can quickly transform a hairstyle, it’s also completely understandable when people have questions about them. We’ve done our best to answer some of the most common questions about shiny hair extensions so you can decide whether or not they are right for you.

how to care for hair extensionsWill Hair Extensions Harm My Hair?

Hair extensions alone will not typically damage your natural hair. However, you have to know how to care for hair extensions and maintain your quality hair care routine. The things to look out for are extensions that are too heavy, too tight or create too much tension on the hair. These signs can’t be ignored, since you could be damaging your natural hair. When in doubt, visit a hairstylist to help you.

What’s The Best Way To Wash Hair Extensions?

Washing hair extensions with a great sulfate free shampoo, as you would with your natural hair, is ideal. If you use clip-in extensions, you can remove them and wash them gently in a sink full of cool water. For permanent hair extensions, wash your hair as you normally would and be as gentle as possible. Hair extensions are meant to last a long time, and proper washing techniques will maximize their lifespan.

Will Hair Extensions Make My Hair Grow Faster?

Hair extensions can indirectly make your hair grow faster to an extent. The reason is because people typically don’t apply as much heat or try to manipulate the hair as much when shiny hair extensions are installed. The results would be the same even if you didn’t have extensions in, but provided the same amount of care. The added layer of protection given by hair extensions can promote natural hair growth.

Can I Apply Hair Extensions On My Own?

Some shiny hair extensions can be applied on your own, such as clip-ins. However, if you’re looking for more of a permanent solution, then it’s best to leave the installation in the hands of an experienced stylist. We recommend working with a professional to ensure the extensions are installed properly, as well as ensuring your natural hair doesn’t get damaged in the process. Applying hair extensions can be a little more difficult than it seems, so it’s always better to take the safest route.

RemySoft is here to answer all of your burning questions about hair extensions. Whether you need advice on how to care for hair extensions, which ones are best for your hair or anything else, we are the experts you can rely on to help you out. Hair extensions can provide an added element you’ve never had with your hair before, so contact us today to see if they are right for you.

The low braid is going to be one of the most popular hairstyles you see over the next few months.

Short Bob

If you’re ready to cut your hair shorter this fall, consider going with the short bob look. Cutting your hair straight across at neck length provides a simple look that can be used for any occasion.

Getting a perm may require you to add some quality hair care products to your collection to maintain the volume and keep your hair looking great as long as possible.

Tangled Hair? Here’s How to Fix It

Figuring out why your hair tangles so often is only half the battle in fixing it. The other half is taking action to try to maintain your straight and untangled hair as much as possible. Tangled hair is not only annoying to deal with, but it can also be damaging to the hair as you try to brush it out constantly. Whether you have hair extensions or not, here are some tips on how to effectively fix your tangled hair.

Use The Right Shampoo And Conditioner

The best sulfate free shampoo and conditioner can go a long way in reducing the amount of tangles you get in your hair. Products that have sulfates can dry out and damage the hair, both of which make the hair more prone to getting tangled. Keeping the hair properly moisturized is one of the most basic tips for maintaining silky smooth hair, and it starts with using the best sulfate free shampoo possible.

Reduce The Use Of Hot Tools

The tools available to us today are very convenient and can be hard to put down. However, using heated tools too much can lead to dry, dull and brittle hair, which can mean more tangles. You can still use these tools to style your hair, but try turning down the temperature to the lowest setting possible. You should still be able to get the results you desire, and will be protecting your hair from tangles in the process.

hair extensionsKeep A Brush Handy

Depending on your hair type, it may get tangled throughout the day no matter what hair products for Remy hair you use to prevent it. This is especially true if you’re outside often on humid or windy days. Instead of coming home with a tangled mess of hair, keep a brush with you and use it throughout the day. Running the brush gently through the hair in the morning, around lunchtime and then again in the afternoon will reduce serious tangles that are hard to get out in the evening.

Be Conscious Of The Hair Products You Use

The best hair products for Remy hair won’t contain sulfates or other ingredients that can lead to dry hair. If you’ve done everything possible to reduce your tangles and still aren’t getting the results you desire, take a good look at every product you’re using. It may be beneficial to switch to other products depending on your hair type if you can’t seem to minimize the tangles in your hair.

RemySoft understands the challenges of eliminating tangles from your hair. Our hair products for Remy hair are designed to help you maintain healthy and straight hair when combined with a great hair care routine. If you’ve been dealing with tangles for too long and are ready to fix them for good, give us a call and see how we can help.
