It happens even to the best of us. No matter how much effort and TLC we put into styling our hair, or how much we invest in quality hair care, the seasonal humidity can always creep right in and undo all of our hard work. This is just a frustrating fact of life…or is it?

What if we told you there are ways you can easily strike back against the frizziness plaguing your hair throughout the fall months? Skeptical? Well, let us convince you through this list of easy, frizz-fighting tips to unleash this season!

Start Up a Strengthening Regimen

Sometimes a huge factor in how well your hair handles the fall humidity lies in how strong and prepared it is. Oftentimes we don’t give our hair enough of a safeguard against the weather, leading to frizzy disasters and other problems that ruin our perfectly coiffed hairdos.

If your hair is naturally on the thicker side, a sturdy leave in conditioner will become your new best friend! You can use it and related products to deep condition your hair on a regular basis. This will ensure your hair has enough moisture so it has no need to go sucking up moisture from the air around you, thus lowering the chance of a surprise fall frizz.

For those with thin hair, hot oil can work a different, but just as helpful, kind of magic! Prior to starting up your regular washing routine, just apply the hot oil to your hair. This will give your strands extra strength, allowing it to more easily combat frizz and stay in the style you intended.

Use Protectants

Of course, upping your regular washing routine won’t always be enough to protect your hair. It may very well need a little extra help. This can come in the form of a smoothing cream, which is specifically designed to prevent frizz and keep your hair sleek, or other hair products for Remy hair. People with thin hair may find oil treatments and styling sprays work best for keeping their hair manageable in the fall.

Style Your Hair Effectively

Certain hairstyles are far more protective than others. This includes braids and buns, which can create a smoothing effect that will leave your hair looking much neater overall. Say goodbye to those unsightly cowlicks and hello to cute fall hair instead!

Overnight Care

We understand you’re a busy person and may not always have the time or energy to devote to providing quality hair care in the mornings. If this is usually the case for you, letting your hair set overnight may be the better option. This entails going along with your usual washing routine, then adding styling cream to your hair before bed. Bundle your hair into a bun before you drift off to sleep, and you’ll wake up to sleek and smooth waves the fall humidity won’t be able to touch!

We hope these tips will help you better manage your hair in the face of fall. For other tips on how to prep for the season, as well as help your hair thrive all year long, get in touch with us!

While many men have to deal with the hard reality of hair loss, the widespreadness of the issue doesn’t make coping much easier. As your bald spot grows in size, you may find your embarrassment swelling along with it. Some men don’t feel comfortable leaving the house without a hat or wig care products, while others decide to get proactive and shave their heads entirely to avoid having to face their baldness any longer. However, if neither appeals to you, you still have options.

Cosmetic professionals currently regard tattooing as another excellent and viable method for coping with hair loss. Yes, you read right! Tattooing isn’t just for anchor and skull tattoos anymore! For years, professionals have used tattoos to repair any number of cosmetic problems, with scalp tattooing being just one of other options for men with thinning hair. Keep reading to learn more about it.

How Does It Work?

Scalp tattooing is additionally called SMP, or “scalp micropigmentation.” Its process is similar to regular tattooing in theory, but be forewarned: you can’t get this kind of treatment at just any salon in the United States. Rather, you’ll need to go to a specialized center or book with a tattoo artist who knows how to do this work and has all the right tools equipped. Your specialist will have to gauge your hair texture, the way your hair loss is developing and your natural hairline before getting started with the procedure. This part of the process can be lengthy, so be prepared. Afterward, the specialist can get to work pricking small dots along your hairline and scalp, imitating what’s meant to look like natural stubble as the result of a close shave.

What About the Rest of My Hair?

If you still have some hair, no worries! Your specialist will be able to blend your new scalp tattoo into the rest of your natural hair, allowing you to more easily adjust if and when your hair loss spreads, as well as hide any obvious “tells” from your scalp.

Any Other Benefits?

Compared to other hair loss management methods, such as full cap partial cap hair replacement and hair replacement surgery, scalp tattooing is far more natural looking and less invasive. Scalp tattooing is meant to mimic a very common hairstyle among men—the close shave—so it’s ideal for men who already like and would have worn that particular style in the first place. Additionally, scalp tattooing is far easier on one’s budget, costing half as much as the typical fees for hair replacement.

Ultimately, however, the decision to undergo scalp tattooing is entirely up to you. If it isn’t your thing and you want to maintain longer hair, you may consider investing in a toupee and other wig care products instead. All that matters is you’re happy with your decision in the long run.

We at RemySoft are dedicated to quality hair care, no matter the type or length of hair you have! Be sure to get in touch to learn about other hair care options available to you!

Despite its longstanding stigma, gray hair isn’t just for the elderly anymore. Younger people are embracing the color now as an aesthetic choice for themselves—and it’s generating some adorable, positive results for both sides of the age spectrum! Older adults who are going gray or are already gray entirely have expressed a boost of confidence knowing younger people are voluntarily giving themselves the same hair color. Meanwhile, teenagers and young adults choosing this look fully enjoy the color and how it enhances their own image and personal self-esteem.

Are you considering a new hair color? Whether using alternative hair color is your thing or not, you might want to consider trying gray hair this fall just so you can understand what all the hype is about.

For Guys

Guys may hesitate in general when it comes to styling their hair, much less dyeing it. However, celebrities such as Adam Lambert have rocked silver locks, garnering much attention both from news and social media. Additionally, people of all orientations appreciate the “silver fox” look, as evidenced by a handful of celebrities out there who have grayed early or went the dyeing route on their own.

Best of all, it’s easy to obtain this style! All it takes is an appointment at your nearest hair salon for a professional, well done treatment. There you’ll be treated to quality hair care, ensuring your new gray ‘do will last far longer. It’s a recipe for a new you that’s ten times as charming and suave!

For Women

Fashionable women have likely already noticed the sudden popularity of “smokier” hair colors, such as gray and lilac. People are even combining these colors through the use of ombre and balayage, creating a unique and colorful display that styles incredibly well and coordinates with just about any outfit.

You can pair gray hair with just about any other hair color if you don’t want to go gray entirely. The most popular choices seem to be black, blue, brown and white, though you can choose just about any color you wish! Even straight up gray hair is bound to look amazing with the proper quality hair care. The most important part of picking a new hair color or style is being happy with your choice and knowing you look good with it, after all. Again, picking an excellent salon to take care of your dye job will work wonders and hook you up with just the right look.

Regardless of your gender, you don’t want to forget about maintenance! Like any light hair color, gray hair takes a lot of management to stay just the right shade. A good sulfate free shampoo and conditioner should help the color last longer. In addition, sun protection for hair will help to avoid too much unsightly fading from spreading too quickly. At RemySoft, we can help you take care of your gray hair with our fabulous products! To learn more about this hair trend and many others, as well as the care included, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Alas, summer’s drawn to a finite close and the weather is making way for autumn and its wardrobe of many colors. Out goes the days of short shorts, tank tops and suntans; and in comes sweaters, pumpkin spice everything and Halloween. With the change in seasons, you may be feeling it’s time for more change of the personal variety. We’re talking about your hair, of course! You’re already swapping out your wardrobe, so why not make a few changes to your hair to match? If this interests you, but you’re a little stuck on the details, we’ve put together a handy list of cute, but easily maintainable hairstyles you can try this fall!

Bangs: Not Just for Straight Hair Anymore!

Yes, you read it right! Even curly girls can rock a cute fringe this year. Such a luxury is no longer reserved for straight hairstyles. How can this be done? First, you’ll have to invest in some quality hair care. Curly hair is already hard to maintain, so adding bangs to the mix could easily put you at risk of rocking the poodle hair look if you aren’t dedicated.

Luckily, the maintenance for curly bangs is easy! All it takes is some anti-humidity products to ensure your hair is able to handle the fall humidity with more ease, as well as blow drying while your newly cut bangs are still wet to make sure they have enough length on them.

Updos and Accessories

You no longer have to reserve your cute barrettes and combs or your fancy, swooshy updos for special occasions. Thanks to international fashion designers, intricate hair decorates are in, and the best way to show them off is by putting your hair up. Feel free to decorate as much as you please! The sparklier your accessories are, the better. Of course, this look is meant to be dramatic, so it may be best to coordinate this kind of hairstyle with an event or outfit that can accommodate it all. If you’d still like to rock this look in a more casual setting, you can always strategically place your accessories in less noticeable places throughout your hair, or not use quite as many. Be sure to wash your hair with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner first for extra luster!

Sideswept Hair

This vintage look is also making a comeback this year, and just in time. What could be more elegant than all of your hair tucked to one side of your head, not quite as neat as the tightly waved styles we’ve seen for formal events, but more messily waved in a casual look? This style is perfect for those who don’t want to put tons of effort into their hair, but still want to look like they did. Just be sure to use some sort of product to help the style set. This style is easy to pull off with hair extensions as well, so consider looking up how to care for hair extensions if you want to add some length before trying it.

We hope these style suggestions have given you inspiration on how to style yourself this fall! For more tips on quality hair care, hair styling and related subjects, feel free to contact us!

If you struggle with unruly hair every time it’s humid outside, you definitely aren’t alone. It’s no secret humidity can be one of the most frustrating things when it comes to creating a nice hairstyle. You can literally spend hours on a hairstyle, only to walk outside and your hair is flat on your head within 10 minutes. Humidity will always be around to wreck a good hairstyle, but there are a few things you can do to deal with it!

Invest in Good Shampoo and Conditioner

The healthier your hair is, the better chance you will have of dealing with it during the humid weather. Using a quality sulfate free shampoo and conditioner with a lot of vitamins, minerals and oils will help tremendously. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, but you also don’t want to get the cheapest one available. You may also consider a leave in conditioner, depending on your hair type.

Help Your Curls Out

Sometimes quality hair care means doing nothing.

Sometimes the best quality hair care you can give yourself involves doing nothing at all. That is especially true when it comes to curly hair. Curls hold better when they aren’t freshly washed so don’t wash your hair in the morning or the night before. This won’t completely protect your hair from the negative effects of humidity, but it will definitely help keep your curls looking how you want them to.

Remove Moisture for Straight Hair

Straight hair and humid weather generally do not mix well. You will have a better chance of keeping your straight and shiny hair if you walk outside with a completely dry head on those hot and humid days. Of course, we understand sometimes it’s not possible to dry your hair completely, but at least spend a few extra minutes with your blow dryer. To help expedite the process, blow dry your hair in sections and run your fingers through it as you go.

Having a good hair day on a humid day is difficult for everyone. Sometimes Mother Nature wins, but at least there are some things we can try to make our hair look as good as possible. Contact us for more tips on how to deal with your hair in humid weather, along with many other style tips to help you be confident with your hairstyle every day!

Almost everyone has to deal with the negative effects of humidity when it comes to their hair. However, most people just go with the flow and never really understand why they have so much trouble styling their hair when it’s humid outside. Understanding why your hair won’t cooperate with you is the first step in learning what you can do to deal with it. Here are some of the reasons you have so much trouble with your hair during the humid days of the year.

Hair Absorbs Moisture

When the air outside is dry, water molecules will move from your hair into the atmosphere. The opposite happens when it’s humid. Your hair can actually swell by as much as 16 percent due to the absorption of moisture. With the added density, it’s no wonder you can’t have the hairstyles you want!

All Hair Strands Don’t Act Alike

A leave in conditioner may help.

Not only do the various hair types react differently to humidity, but your own individual hair strands do sometimes as well. Since the proteins aren’t uniform throughout your hair, some strands may absorb more moisture than others. The result is twisted or frizzy strands. A sulfate free shampoo and conditioner may help with the uniformity, but sometimes it’s tough to fight against Mother Nature and humidity.

Hair Types React Differently

When exposed to humidity, naturally curly hair could curl even more or become frizzy. Fine hair could become thicker. Excessively dry hair could retain the most moisture of any hair types. While a leave in conditioner can help, different hair types are going to have some sort of reaction to humid air.

Even quality hair care products are no match for humidity at times. When it’s humid outside and you’re struggling to have a good hair day, understand you aren’t alone. Sometimes the best thing you can do is let your hair down loosely and naturally. The more you try to work with your hair, the worse it can get.

School is right around the corner, which means a lot of decisions will be made in the next few weeks. In addition to your wardrobe, school supplies and other important matters, you have to choose the perfect hairstyle. Not only do you have to think about the first day of school, but the first week and maybe even the first month!

Don’t stress yourself out when it comes to picking out the cutest hairstyles for going back to school. Our hair products for remy hair will have you looking fly every day! Here are several of our favorite hairstyles you should try out yourself.

Braids

Hair products for remy hair are a must.

As you know, there are a lot of different ways to braid your hair. Since it’s still technically the summer, you may want to go with a side fishtail braid with a cute polka dotted top. It’s a clean and cute look that won’t be too fancy. If you’re not much of a braid person, you can still try a mini braid in a side part to add a little extra to your normally straight hairstyle.

Waves

You’ll probably notice a lot of people going with the wavy hairstyle on the first day of school. It’s pretty easy to do by curling your hair and finger combing it to get some waves with structure. We recommend using a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner the night before to really maximize the waviness the next day!

Ponytails

Sulfate free shampoo and conditioner will keep hair beautiful.

Instead of just going with a simple ponytail, do something a little extra. If you have curly hair, pull apart the curls and get them as high as you can on your head. This will give you an untamed look that is going to be the most unique in your school! If you’re not feeling too extravagant, a simple side ponytail shows your relaxed nature.

With the help of quality hair care products, your back-to-school hairstyle choice will not only be easy, but fun! If you have any ideas or questions about certain hairstyles you want to try, contact us and we can recommend the best hair care product to help you have the cutest hairstyle in your entire school!

Quality hair care keeps fall colors looking great.

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

1. Help Your Natural Hair Texture

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

2. Pay Attention to Color

A great sulfate free shampoo is a necessity.

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

3. Volumize

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

4. Invest in a Good Shampoo

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

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

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

Ombre

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

Platinum Blonde

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

“Nude”or Neutral Hair

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

Black

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

We hope we’ve given you a bit of inspiration for your new summer look! No matter what style you choose to go for, we urge you not to forget about maintenance. To protect your newly colored hair, you want to buy a few products that will preserve its color, such as a nice leave in conditioner. If you need any other suggestions or advice for your hair care or styling, feel free to contact us!

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

Fishtail Braids

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

Buns

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

Chignons

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

Side Ponytails

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

Twists

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