Spiky Hair is Back! Here’s How to Style Your Spikes

RemySoft quality hair careGreat news, guys! The spiky hairstyles you’ve long desired since ‘90s are back in style! After taking such a long hiatus, it’s time to re-teach yourself how to style those sharp spikes. However, before you do, you need to make sure you have the right haircut. The ideal hair length is anywhere from ½” to 2”, but you can easily grow it out a little bit longer and still get great results. When you let your stylist know your intention to create some slick spikes, they’ll know exactly what to do to set you up for success.

Gather The Right Products

There’s not a single magical product that can make the best spiky hairstyle. However, some of the best quality hair care products to use includes gels, wax and/or pomade. Using a good leave in conditioner is also ideal prior to spiking your hair, just to make sure it will be in the best shape possible before you start styling.

Don’t Overlook Details

The main consideration with styling spiky hair is the details. Once you use your product of choice to coat your hair thoroughly and lift it up, you just need to use your fingers to define the shape. Take your fingers and start at the base of the hair, then run them up to the tip to ensure the spike is completely coated with gel or wax. Do this one-by-one to ensure uniformity.

Some guys choose to use a protective hair serum to minimize hair damage, but it’s not a complete necessity in most cases. You could use a combination of hair gel and wax to further define each spike and detail them how you wish. If you accidentally coat your locks with too much gel or wax and it won’t dry in place, you can use a blow dryer to harden them more quickly.

Spikes With Long Hair?

While it’s easier to create a spiky hairstyle with short hair, don’t feel like you’re left out if you have long hair. Keep in mind we’re talking about hair no longer than about 3”, in most cases. Just use the same quality hair care routine as described above for short hair. However, you’ll likely need to incorporate some hair spray or protective hair serum due to the extra length. The only difficult part about long spiky hair is it takes a little more time to perfect.

At Remysoft, we have all the products guys need to achieve the spiky hairstyle they desire. Be sure to contact us for styling tips or to get the perfect quality hair care products.

This haircut is similar to the short side part, but instead of parting it, you’ll peak the hair on top to the center. When you use a good protective hair serum, you won’t have to worry about your hair getting messed up too easily. This hairstyle looks best when rendered naturally, so avoid oily hair products if you can.

3. Long and Wavy

Long, wavy hair never really goes out of style. It’s easy to create and, as long as you have the best quality hair care products, it should only take you a couple minutes to look your best. Get creative with your waves and try to run your fingers through them or use a comb to style them the way you desire.

4. Short and Spiky

If you have short hair and don’t want to grow it out for your wedding, consider spiking it up a bit instead of combing it over. The spiky look is a popular style today and will look sharp with your tuxedo!

You’ll be amazed at the amount of volume this simple change creates! If you don’t have long enough hair to flip over, you can make an investment in hair extensions to be able to pull it off.

3. Straight and Sleek

There was once a time when straight hair was considered boring. However, you will see a lot more hairstyles like this in 2017. The only catch is you have to have healthy hair in order for it to look great. Invest in a quality protective hair serum and straighten your hair often for the best results.

Our Tips for Textured Hair

One of the hottest hairstyle trends today is textured hair. It takes some time and effort to create a great-looking textured hairstyle, but just about anyone can accomplish it. Depending on your current hairstyle habits, you may not have to change your routine much. It may be as simple as using sulfate free shampoo and conditioners rather than your normal product. Regardless of your current habits, here are some great tips for getting the perfect textured hairstyle.

1. Ditch the Comb

Your comb may be good enough to make your hair look presentable, but if you truly want a good textured hairstyle, it’s time to invest in some new quality hair care tools. Combs make it difficult to texturize your hair, so opt for a brush with boar bristles instead. Remember, you’re going for a natural look, so a comb is rarely your best option.

2. Don’t Over-Wash

Washing too frequently can lead to dry hair. Reducing the amount of times you wash your hair each week will allow you to add some texture to your hair and you’ll notice an almost immediate difference in the appearance. It will also help to use sulfate free shampoo and conditioners for the few times you do wash your hair.

3. Invest in a Quality Towel

The more you dry and rub your hair, the more friction you cause. Friction will cause hair strands to break and become frizzy, which means less friction will lead to better overall hair quality. Choose a microfiber towel to dab your hair dry, since it has proven to be gentler on hair. If you’ve tried different products and techniques to improve your quality hair care, consider changing your towel and see if it makes a difference.

4. Opt for Conditioner Over Shampoo

The whole purpose of having textured hair is the definition it provides. Shampoo doesn’t usually help in that regard, but conditioner will. Many conditioners provide your hair with the right amount of moisture you need to be able to style your hair how you want. Avoid using shampoo a few times and just use conditioner instead to see how you like the results. If you need to, you can also apply a small amount of protective hair serum to help your hair quality as well.

Textured hair can be difficult to achieve, but it is possible with the right products and mindset. Be sure to contact us if you need any more tips or would like recommendations on the best quality hair care products.

Our New Years Resolutions for Healthier Hair

A new year means it’s time to think about resolutions we want to make to ensure 2017 is the best it can possibly be. Most people want to lose weight, make more money or be more active in the community in the New Year. Those are great resolutions, but maintaining healthier hair generally gets overlooked as a resolution. Whether you’ve got your list of New Year’s resolutions finalized or not, here are some healthy hair resolutions you can make for 2017.

1. Watch Your Diet

This is one of the top New Year’s resolutions people make, and if you take it a step further, it can lead to healthier hair too! When a healthy diet is combined with hair products for Remy hair, you will be able to produce healthier-looking hair this year. If you’re already trying to eat a better diet anyway, simply add some hair care products and you’ll be knocking out two resolutions just that easily!

2. Protect Your Hair

Always keep your hair in mind no matter what’s going on. Don’t wait until your hair gets dry or damaged to use protective hair serum. Use it when you know you’ll be spending a lot of time out in the sun. Try different products as well, like sulfate free shampoo and conditioners, which may be better for your hair than the generic products you are currently using.

3. Use Less Heat

Straighteners and hair dryers are convenient when you’re short on time. However, they can be damaging to your hair by making it dry, rough and frizzy. Instead, try out different hair products from Remy hair as substitutes for these heating tools. Sometimes it may be unavoidable to use those heat tools, but try to at least avoid making it a habit to use them on a daily basis.

RemySoft hair products for remy hair4. Don’t Avoid the Salon

Men generally visit the salon more than women to get their haircut, but everyone can benefit from more frequent trips to a trusted hair care professional. Your hair salon will give you advice on how to properly take care of your hair from visit-to-visit. Sometimes we can’t tell if our hair is showing signs of damage until it’s too late. Make it a point to visit your salon regularly in 2017.

We hope these New Year’s resolutions for your hair will help you have healthier hair in 2017. Be sure to contact us for specific resolutions for your particular hairstyle.

Say “Goodbye” to Hat Hair with These Chic Hairstyles!

Now that autumn’s here, you may be more than ready to dive straight into hat season. It doesn’t help there are so many options to choose from! From beanies to trapper’s hats to cutified newsboy caps, there’s no shortage of ways to accessorize as the cold weather settles in. There’s just one problem with hats you can’t avoid…right? We’re talking about hat hair, one of the most common plagues of any hat-loving individual. RemySoft is here to remedy this problem with our list of hat-friendly hairstyles! When combined with a bit of quality hair care, you’ll never again have to worry about a flat look once your hat is off.

Your Natural Hair

This first suggestion may seem a bit obvious. You likely already wear hats with your natural hair so how is this a huge piece of advice? Sometimes the best solution is to simply go with the flow and not try too hard by doing too much. Anyone, from those with the curliest of locks to pin straight hair, can easily rock a hat by just leaving their hair loose and letting nature take its course where it may. If you’re big on styling, this is a great way to take a break from fiddling with your heat tools and spending some time with your hair as-is. You may be surprised by just how good this style looks!

Keep your hair looking great with hair products for remy hair.

Hair products for remy hair will keep your hair looking great.

Fishtail Braid

If you still want to add a bit of styling, there’s nothing wrong with it! With the right hair products for remy hair and this next style, your hair will still look great. After all, there’s nothing more classic than a cute braid! Simply take your hair and gather it either to one side of your head or in the back. After that, you can start the braiding process. Be sure to make the braid tight, but not so tight you wind up uncomfortable. Once you’re done braiding, secure it with a hair tie, slip your hat on and go about your business!

Up with Side Fringe

This last style is great for those who simply don’t want to fuss too much with their hair. This style gets the majority of your hair out of the way, leaving only an alluring curtain crafted from your bangs. Take your hair and pull it back into a simple ponytail, as high up as you need for it to sit well inside your hat. Bundle it into a loose bun. As you do this, be sure to leave your fringe or a side section of your hair out and loose. This will drape down the side of your face, out from the hat. We guarantee this look is gorgeous and elegant and is great if you want to look especially chic!

We hope these hairstyles will leave you unafraid of rocking your best hats this autumn! For best results, add a bit of protective hair serum to lock in a bit of extra moisture where your hat meets your hair. This will prevent the hat from sucking up too much hydration if it’s lined with cotton or a similar fabric. Contact us with any further questions about quality hair care, no matter the time of year!

How Can You Safeguard Your Hair Against Cold Weather?

Now that autumn has arrived, you’re likely bracing yourself for the incoming cold in all sorts of ways. Now is the season of warm lattes, toasty sweaters and tall boots, spiced apple cider and enjoying the crisp air and gentle, swaying dance of falling leaves before the first snow touches down. However, while you may be enjoying the change of weather, your hair certainly isn’t!

As the holidays start closing in and winter begins to replace autumn, you may find yourself dealing with especially dry hair. While you may chalk this up to simply being one of the less enjoyable parts of winter, you can also do something to lend your hair a helping hand. Here are some tips!

Make Your Humidifier Your Best Friend

Simply staying in the warm indoors isn’t enough to keep your hair properly moisturized! It’s often just as dry as the air outside but with an unwanted bonus of static electricity that can cling to your hair. A common humidifier can help assuage this problem by providing a bit of extra moisture for your hair to absorb. No longer will you have to worry about frizz since the harmful excess humidity you’ve felt in autumn will be long gone!

Try to Limit Your Shampooing

Hydrating shampoo can be a great option.

Use hydrating shampoo sparingly this winter.

When it comes to dry hair, you may consider hydrating shampoo to be your ultimate savior. However, using it too often can bring its own poor results. It’s worth mentioning, first off, chilly air and soaked hair do not mix. The cold weather will immediately dry your hair out. Try to cut back on washing your hair by doing so every other day or up to three times per week.

Bundle Up

All the warnings Mom gave you about bundling up before leaving the house really do hold true! Wearing a hat is a great way to shield your hair from the frosty air outside. This will help to retain moisture. Of course, you also want to avoid your hat ruining your perfectly styled hairdo! To keep your hair as sleek as it was when you first left the house, pair your hat with a scarf made from moisture-protecting materials, such as silk.

Invest in Extra Protection

There’s no such thing as being too careful! If you’ve followed every step and find your hair is still a little on the dry side, it may be worth your while to invest in some protective hair serum to really lock in your hair’s moisture. Even a little bit worked into your follicles can help stave off cold air and its unwanted effects.

While autumn and winter have plenty of wonderful benefits, you don’t want to enjoy them at your hair’s expense! RemySoft is here to help you protect your hair no matter the time of year, which is why we offer the best products to ensure your hair remains constantly healthy and sleek. Contact us to learn how else you can help your hair thrive in cold weather or to pick up some of our top-notch hair care products!

Go Wild! A Quick, No-Fuss Guide to Unnatural Hair Colors

Hair dye has always been popular, but it seems recent years have brought particular focus on unnatural colors—pinks, blues, purples, greens and everything in between. No longer are these hair colors solely restricted to the alt crowd! However, no matter how vibrant the color you choose, you’ll have to invest special attention in its maintenance. Unnatural hair colors can require even more maintenance than more natural dyes. To help you make the most of your vibrant locks, we’ve put together a list of tips and tricks to follow.

Brands Aren’t One Size Fits All

Just because one brand works amazingly for one person doesn’t mean it’ll unleash the same magic on your hair. Everyone’s scalp is different. You may have to shop around for several brands until you find one that gives you just the right amount of pigmentation. It all depends on what you’re looking for!

No matter how vibrant you want your hair to look, you’ll want to let the dye set for as long as possible, around 60 minutes. This will give the pigment time to really absorb and create a stronger color. The deeper the color, the longer the dye will last!

Beware of Blue Hair

Your color lasts longer with hair products for remy hair.

Hair products for remy hair will keep your color lasting longer.

Don’t think we’re trying to discourage you from going blue entirely! It’s a lovely color. If you do decide to go blue, however, be prepared to undergo a lot of maintenance to keep your hair fresh-looking. If you can, consider buying multiple boxes of the same dye so you can recolor your hair more easily. Be sure to also use plenty of sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to help preserve your color!

Seek Professional Assistance

The vast majority of people won’t be able to dive into their dyeing tools straight away. Instead, they’ll have to bleach their hair first, then apply the color. It’s best, however, to let a professional handle the task of bleaching. The bleaching process is the most damaging part of dyeing your hair. You don’t want to risk frying your hair beyond repair, especially if this is your first time using dye. A professional will know just how to render your hair as white as possible with minimal damage. You can also ask your stylist questions on how to best approach the dyeing process. They can then provide you with useful hair products for remy hair to keep your hair healthy.

Consider Your Natural Hair Color

The darker your hair color is, the harder it will be to render it just the right color. At the same time, hair of other tones, such as golden, tend to blend with your dye and make unexpected colors. Try to picture it like you’re mixing paint. Unless you’re going for a totally different color than depicted on the box, you’ll want to invest in some toning to even out the pigmentation.

We hope these tips will help you as you navigate your hair dyeing journey. Don’t forget your protective hair serum to really help your new color thrive! For more tips on how to approach and maintain dyed hair, contact us.

Guys, Let’s Talk About the Undercut

We’ve seen it all over. The undercut is coming back into style for girls and guys alike. You may be an undercut veteran yourself or interested in trying the look for the first time. After all, it’s attractive on so many other people, so it may be worth giving a chance. First, we’d like to say kudos to you for either finding a hairstyle that works for you or being willing to try something brand new. Here are a few ways you can rock an undercut and look great doing it!

The Swoop

Sometimes you may want to add a bit more flair to your undercut. Maybe your hair’s already naturally on the unruly side, but you still want to help it look managed. Sometimes a product as simple as a protective hair serum can help. Alternatively, maybe the limp look just isn’t your thing. In any case, you can always muss your hair forward to create a stylish swoop effect. This can take many forms, from a messy and high, slightly spiked look to a new spin on the Caesar cut. Of course, you can always rock a fringe, too! You just want to make sure you get them cut in a way that coordinates well with your facial shape and features.

The Traditional Look

RemySoft protective hair serumAs the old adage says, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” If you’re a newbie to the wide world of undercuts, you may want to start off with its usual interpretation: long on top and slicked back. This look works well for just about any occasion and is easy to care for with regular quality hair care.

The Pompadour

It seems the ‘50s aesthetic is back in full swing, and the pompadour has made a modern resurgence! This look will take gel and maybe some protective hair serum to maintain, but we guarantee it’s easy to pull off! Just make sure to ask your stylist to leave you an ample amount of hair up top. The bigger the pompadour, the better (and sexier, if that’s the look you’re going for)!

Layering

Not all undercuts are made of gel and careful mussing. You may be interested in a more natural look, which is attainable through the help of layering the top portion of your hair. This is great for those with thin hair or who just want their undercut to look a bit more interesting and “bigger” without making it too long or using a ton of product. This look may prove to be a bit experimental for some, however. You may want to ask your stylist to play around a bit with length until you can both agree on what looks best.

The Top Knot

It seems these days it’s all about either the man bun or the undercut—but now guys are combining both for two times the charm! Naturally, you’ll need to keep the top section of your hair long. All that’s left is to bundle it up into a quick bun near the crown of your head. With the right amount of length, you’re guaranteed to look great!

While these aren’t all the ways you can rock an undercut, we hope this list of suggestions will give you some ideas. No matter which style you choose, be sure to invest in some hydrating shampoo to keep your look sleek and healthy. Also, don’t hesitate to contact us for more style suggestions and hair care tips!

Our Ultimate Guide to Beach Waves

Unfortunately, as we’re all well aware, summer’s just ended. It’s a complete bummer. We certainly miss it already, along with all the cute hairstyles and trends the season inspired this year! However, you don’t have to mourn the end of summer by shelving all those cute hairstyles you used to wear last season. Take beach waves, for instance. While beach waves may not quite match the season, they’ll never truly go out of style! To help you rock this adorable hairstyle all year ‘round, here’s a nifty guide on how to create it for yourself.

Take Advantage of Your Flat Iron

Your flat iron isn’t just for rendering your hair sleek and straight! It can also work miracles in terms of creating the perfect wave in your hair, especially if it’s naturally of the thicker, harder-to-manage variety. Before using your flat iron, be sure to add some protective hair serum to your locks to safeguard it against the heat, and brush through it to ensure your strands are as sleek and tangle-free as possible.

Afterwards, you can get started with sweeping the iron through your hair, pointing it toward the floor and curling each section around the flat iron before pulling down. This method is a great way of styling beach waves in a hurry, as it takes less than 10 minutes, even for long hair. With some gentle guidance, you’ll end up with gorgeous, sleek and shiny waves!

Twist It Up

This style utilizes your flat iron yet again, alongside a hair spray specially designed to maximize the waviness of your hair. The latter should be applied to your hair first in a light drizzle. Afterwards, you can twist sections of your hair before braiding them together for better hold. The next step involves your flat iron, which you’ll sweep over the twist from top to ends. Be sure to be gentle as you pass over your hair and don’t lose patience if you come across a snag! Heat is already hard enough on your hair, so you don’t want to increase the risk of breakage by forcing the iron through. Once your hair has cooled off sufficiently, you can undo the twist and enjoy your beautiful new waves!

If All Else Fails…

RemySoft hair extensionsIf you have short hair or simply don’t want to fuss with a lot of heat, you can always rely on hair extensions pre-styled into the perfect beach waves! We find this is a much easier alternative and far more flexible if you only want to rock this look for a day or so. Hair extensions require less maintenance than the hair naturally growing from your head, though there are still a few things you can and should do to keep them presentable. If you want to go the extension route, make sure to research and invest in the best shampoo and conditioner for extensions for maximum longevity!

We hope these tips will help you create your most beautiful beach waves yet! For other hair styling and care tips, feel free to get in touch with us at RemySoft. We care about helping you look your absolute best!
