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!

We understand more than anyone your desire to look as cute as possible this summer. Hair accessories have been on the rise all throughout 2016, making this the perfect chance to experiment if you’re so inclined. Consider trying out these hair accessories in addition to your regular sun protection for hair for a truly unique and head turning summer look!

Going All Natural

This particular accessory style is both balanced and fanciful. You can use anything for this look, such as flowers or crystals, so long as you place two of them in your hair, one on each side of your head. This can be adhered with the help of clip attachments or a transparent band to give the effect you’ve naturally affixed these earthy accessories into your hair for a 21st century flower child look!

Good Old Vintage

Depending on the occasion, you may want to try something a little more classical. Crowns, circlets and headdresses will be what you want in this case! Preferably, they should be plated in gold or some other type of metal sheen, as well as perhaps even studded with gems. No matter what style you go with, you’re sure to look gorgeous!

Flower Crowns

Flower crowns have been on the rise all throughout this decade and appear to show no signs of losing their momentum. The best thing about flower crowns is they are incredibly flexible and can ideally be used for any occasion or outfit. All you’ll need to adjust is the type of flower and you’re set! Smaller flower varieties seem to be what is currently in. However, you can always experiment to see what style suits you the best!

Thorny Crowns

Despite its connotations, you certainly will be joyous with this accessory adorning the top of your head. It is similar to a tiara, both in size and application, and can be made from any material. You may want to try a subtler metallic style, outfitted with sparkling gems. To add a bit of extra shine to your hair in addition to your crown, feel free to invest in sulfate free shampoo and conditioner for the maximum effect!

Floral Pins

This is a more compact version of the flower crown trend and would adhere to one portion of your hair, rather than sitting fully atop your head. This accessory would be styled like a common clip or barrette, with flowers attached to it. This type of accessory is best worn with loose, flowing hair for a woodsy look but can also work just as well with a casual updo. The best part of any accessory is its flexibility after all!

We hope this article will give you some great ideas as far as how to style and decorate your hair for those romantic summer outings. To keep your hair at its full potential, however, it won’t hurt to invest in hair care products, such as leave in conditioner. For more tips on how to care for and style your hair, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!

Summer means several things for everyone: free time, fun, frolicking, trips to the pool or beach and picking out a brand new wardrobe to help you look cute while you’re having so much fun! If you’re going to step up your wardrobe, however, you’ll need an equally adorable hairstyle to match. The only problem is the devastation all the best parts of summer leave in their wake where your hair is concerned. What can be done to guard your hair against pool chemicals and the constant sunshine? We have a few hairstyle suggestions for those interested in sun protection for hair!

Bobs

Bobs have always been an extremely popular look and show no signs of stopping. 2016’s newest variant introduces sleek waves cut into soft layers. The best part is you can maintain this hairstyle fairly easily! All you need is to get your hair cut and layered appropriately, then add in the wavy aspect yourself with the help of a curling iron or another styling tool of choice. Simply curl the middle section of your strands. You don’t want too much curl, after all! All that’s left is to comb your fingers through to separate the curls and give it a stylishly messy look.

Buns

This style is perfect for those who want to keep their hair long and away from their face and neck on those days when it’s unbearably hot. To start with, you’ll have to have freshly washed your hair, spritzed with your favorite protective hair serum. Afterward, you can start tying your hair up high, starting with a ponytail before bundling it up into a stylish topknot! You’re guaranteed to remain comfortable and look unbelievably cute at the same time.

Ponytails

Ponytails are the classic style for every woman on the go, as well as every woman navigating through the summer months, while keeping their hair intact. While you shouldn’t wear your hair in super tight ponies every day, it’s a great way to style your hair comfortably every once in a while. This is another look that works best with freshly washed and dried hair. We recommend doing so with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to help your ponytail retain that sleek and healthy sheen. Simply tie your hair up as normal and you’re done. Just be sure to stay away from metal hair ties!

Loose Waves

There’s no way to look bad with loose hair, especially if a bit of wave and body are involved! While this look is easiest for girls with natural curls and waves, those with straight hair can pull this style off too. Just take your wet hair and style it into a bun overnight. When you’re ready, you can let your hair down and enjoy your brand new, gorgeous waves.

While summer is perhaps one of the most enjoyable seasons for many, thanks to its ample supply of free time and opportunities for outings with friends, it isn’t so good for your hair. The summer sun inflicts a lot of damage on your hair and can easily render it a barely manageable mess. If you’ve dealt with this unfortunate downside of the summer, we are here to the rescue! Here are a few handy tips for sun protection for hair, as well as helpful information and why and how your hair can go wrong.

For Frizziness…

Nearly everyone has dealt with this beast of a hair problem at some point, when a frayed, cloud-like mass takes over the space where your lovely hair used to be. People who treat their hair frequently with chemical products tend to experience this problem the most. In fact, the chemicals are the problem. Perms, dyes and other similar hair styling tools we rely upon on a frequent basis can harm our hair by stripping it of the oils and moisture it needs to thrive. As a result, your hair becomes brittle and dehydrated to the point it will take in moisture wherever it can get. Summer humidity tends to be the perfect source.

To remedy this problem, you want to first invest in sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, which will help restore and lock in moisture within your hair. You may also want to consider relying on anti-frizz products until the next time you wash your hair.

For Dull Hair…

This problem is quite the opposite of what we discussed above. Rather than your hair puffing out, you may experience it weighing down until it becomes a lackluster straggle hanging floppily from your scalp. What’s the deal? Again, it’s the summer humidity! The excess water hanging in the air will easily latch onto your hair and make it far heavier than it should be.

To fix this, you want to try using a leave in conditioner and related products to boost the amount of proteins in your hair, which will make it more resistant to weighty moisture. In the meantime, you can use sprays that fight off moisture to help your hair thrive.

For Chlorine-Damaged Hair…

This problem is especially relevant for pool lovers. The sunlight and chlorine from the pool (and/or simply using far too much product) can combine to create less than desirable effects upon your hair, eliminating the sheen. Either way, your hair suffers from one of two problems: too much residue or too much dryness.

Again, a good sulfate free shampoo and conditioner should do the trick by cleaning your hair of any residue and restoring necessary moisture. You can also flat iron your hair to tide you over until your next wash day.

With the advent of summer comes a whole slew of opportunities, from vacations to outings to splurging on a new wardrobe. Why not change up your hairstyle while you’re at it? Many trends are arising this summer, which you may not want to miss out on. Luckily, we’re here to inform you of what these trends are and how you can join in on them yourself! Read on to learn all about them.

Blue

Blue is a seemingly underutilized hair color, despite its flexibility and ability to look great on just about anyone. Blue comes in such a large variety of shades that, if you are interested in trying out an unnatural hair color, you should be able to find the perfect hue for you. Furthermore, there are many ways to implement it into your locks, such as through a bit of peekaboo highlighting on your ends, covering your entire hair or streaking it through and blending it in with a cool shade of black. Either way, you’re sure to turn heads with hair of this color, as well as love the way it looks on you!

Ronze

You may have heard of bronde hair. Ronze is essentially bronde’s counterpart but tailored toward those with naturally ginger locks. Much like blue hair, ronze is flexible enough to look great on anyone. While the style essentially consists of bronzy and coppery shades blended together, it can be altered, depending upon your skin tone. If you’re darker-skinned, you’ll want a much deeper version of this hair color. Paler people will want to go brighter. Ultimately, the shade of this particular look is up to you and your hairstylist!

Platinum Blonde

This is one hair hue that will never die out in terms of trendiness! While upkeep depends greatly on regular maintenance and a well-fortified supply of sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, you can easily make it work for you! Much like the other colors we’ve listed so far, platinum blonde isn’t limited to the snowy white you’ve most commonly seen. There are all sorts of shades for all types of skin tones, meaning you can experiment with as many hues as you want until you find the right one.

Babylights

Named after their youthful inspiration, the natural highlighting found in children with blonde hair, babylights are a great way to try out highlighting, especially if you don’t have a lot of time to devote to regular maintenance. The best part of this coloring style is it will blend easily with your root color as you allow your hair to grow. Since babylights are more about technique than color, you can apply this look to any hair color imaginable. Just be sure to invest in a leave in conditioner for that small bit of maintenance you need to take care of!

No matter what style you end up going for, you must remember to invest equally in sun protection for hair in order to help your new style flourish. Feel free to contact us for more hair advice!

Here’s How to Pick the Best Hair Color for You!

Experimentation has always been deeply ingrained into human behavior, from the way we live to the way we style ourselves. This includes our clothing, our makeup and especially our hair. It’s entirely natural to look for a change of hair color, but making that decision can be tricky! While your first impulse may be to pick the color you like best, you may also be concerned with choosing one that looks good on you, which is understandable! Selecting any kind of hair styling you like and makes you look great is vital to quality hair care. We’re dedicated to helping people look and feel good, which is why we have put together this guide on how to select the best hair color as well as lend you some suggestions.

Where Do I Start?

This is the first and most common question people ask when they’re considering dyeing their hair. Luckily, the answer to this question is somewhat simple: start with your skin tone! Almost every person on Earth will find their skin tone fits into one of two undertone categories: cool or warm. How can you figure out just what your undertones are? The easiest way is to take a glimpse at your wrists. Study the veins running through them and take note of what color they appear to be through your skin. Blue veins mean your undertones are cool. Green veins mean they are warm. The darkness of your skin matters to some extent. For instance, if you are pale with cool undertones, you may want to try warm, sunny hair colors.

If you don’t want to base your hair color off your undertones, you can also observe your eye color. Certain hair colors look much better with light eye colors, while others look better with dark eyes. For the sake of simplicity, we will be offering suggestions based on your undertones.

For Warm Undertones

Cool hair colors will thrive against warm skin. Consider going with an auburn, ash brown, brunette or dusky blonde color for your next dye work! If you don’t want to go all the way with your hair color, feel free to add cool-toned highlighting instead to give your hair more dimension and still create a pleasant contrast against your skin.

For Cool Undertones

Invert the advice we gave to those with warm undertones and you’ll be set. If you have cool skin, warmer hair color will look best on you! Think rich browns, bright strawberry-like reds and nutty shades of blonde. Again, highlighting is a great option if you don’t want to commit full-on. No matter what you decide to do with your hair color, however, you should be sure to keep it healthy with a regular routine and sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. The dyeing process is strenuous and drying for your hair so leave in conditioner will work wonders to limit any damage.

Are you searching for a brand new look for your hair this summer? If this is the case for you, there’s no better place to look than the stars! We mean celebrities, of course. Since the dawn of Hollywood, we’ve always looked to celebrities to guide us on the path of what’s in style. Indeed, celebrities have already left their mark upon 2016’s hair and fashion trends and what they’ve worn is worth checking out for the sake of seeing what you like and weighing your options!

Balayage

You may remember the ombre hair trend that swept across 2014. Think of balayage as its more subtle relative because the general concept of these two coloring styles are quite similar. Balayage got its initial start last year and is showing no signs of stopping just yet. It is actually the better coloring option for those interested in maintaining quality hair care because the look requires a bit less maintenance than ombre hair does. Balayage is a more natural form of gradual, root to tip highlighting that allows your natural hair to peacefully coexist with the lightened ends. Best of all, this style works with any hair length and your natural hair color will easily blend in with the rest as your roots grow out!

Rainbow Locks

Grey

While grey dye swept the world last year, we can’t leave out the original trendsetters for fantastic grey locks: the middle-aged and aging. Older people are finding all sorts of amazing ways to welcome these silvery wisps, whether it’s through shaping a full head of grey hair into gorgeous and becoming hairstyles or blending them in with their original hair color as a stunning display of color streaking.

Dip Dye

While we mentioned the waves balayage is making this year, the dip dyeing trend that got off the ground years back has yet to fade out entirely and may even make a comeback! This is another great option for fans of unnatural coloring who want to add a small pop of color to their hair. There’s no limit to the colors you can choose but most tend to pick either soft pastel shades or vibrant, bright colors. The next time you go shopping for hair products for remy hair, be sure to browse through hair dyes to see which color would look best on you.

When it comes to the summer months, you can’t beat the “classic” activities, such as going out with friends, getting a tan and heading out for a refreshing swim to escape the heat. Swimming is an especially popular pastime, but it isn’t without its drawbacks. If you have to rely on a pool for your swimming needs, you’ll inevitably be exposed to chlorine, the chemical poured into pool water to keep it sterile and suitable for swimming in the first place. While chlorine works wonders as far as allowing you to enjoy the pool, it isn’t so good for your hair. In this article, we’ll go over how to protect your hair from chlorine or soothe any existing damage you’ve already amassed from taking a dip in the past.

How Does Chlorine Work?

As stated above, the purpose of chlorine is to keep swimming pools sanitary for swimming by purifying it and protecting it against bacterial breeches introduced by the mass of human bodies that enter the pool on a regular basis. The chemicals within chlorine are incredibly strong as a result. One of the jobs of chlorine, in particular, is to eliminate the presence of oil in the water—and guess what our hair produces on a regular and natural basis?

If you’re a frequent swimmer, you want to exercise even more caution when going for a swim. Continually stripping the oils from your hair can cause all kinds of harm, including breakage, dryness and many other issues. If your hair is already bleached, it is even more vulnerable to chlorine’s effects.

Helping Chlorine-Affected Hair

Hydrating shampoo can help you keep chlorine out.

If your hair is constantly tangled, losing color, fried looking and dry, it’s highly likely your hair suffers from damage caused by chlorine. In this case, you’ll need a care regimen to help restore it to its natural glory. Here are some steps you can take:

• Apply a leave in conditioner. This will help to tame the ends of your hair, as well as restore and maintain some level of moisture.
• Invest in protein treatments to restore hair health.
• Use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of any and all chlorine still remaining in your hair.
• Consult a professional to see what else can be done.

Lowering Your Risk of Damage from Chlorine

Use these tricks prior to and following a trip to the pool to limit the effects of chlorine upon your hair:

• Invest in hydrating shampoo and use it following a swim to counteract any drying effects.
• Rinse your hair with fresh, non-chlorinated water after your swim to begin getting rid of the chlorine clinging to it.
• A swimming cap is a perfect way to keep your hair safe, especially if you frequent the swimming pool.
• Soak your hair with regular water prior to your pool trip. This will limit the amount of chlorine that can enter your hair.

No matter the amount of exposure your hair has to chlorine, it will help tremendously to use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair sleek and healthy during the summer months. For any other hair related concerns, contact us! We’re here to help!

Summer is perhaps one of the toughest months for hair. The sun constantly bears its heat down on your scalp, drying it from the roots down and brittling it, sometimes with more than disappointing results. It’s during this time of year you’ll want to be the most invested in maintaining quality hair care because heat damage is one of the easiest and most common ways to harm your hair. We have gathered some tips on how to keep your hair as safe as possible over the summer without having to rely too heavily on hair care products.

Lighten Up Your Brushing Routine!

This tip goes for managing wet hair. Wet hair breaks easily, which can lead to all kinds of damage, especially if you’re using tools that are naturally more rigorous on your hair. If you’re about to detangle, you don’t want to use anything that will tug on your hair too much. Wide toothed combs are the best solution for your detangling routine. They’re less likely to yank on your tangles and cause damage.

Rinse With a Hot Oil Treatment

Plant-based oils, such as avocado and coconut, are the most nourishing for your hair because they’re the easiest for your strands to absorb. After you finish your first shampooing, take some oil and apply it thoroughly to your hair. After rinsing, you can then carry on with the rest of your washing routine and apply conditioner. This method will trap valuable moisture into your hair, which will keep it from becoming too brittle from all the summer heat. This treatment best works in combination with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, which also preserves hair moisture.

There’s a Better Way to Eliminate Chlorine from Your Hair

Quality hair care is an absolute must this summer.

The biggest downside to going to the pool is the havoc it wreaks upon your hair. Anyone with lighter hair colors will find their locks marred with hideous green streaks that are difficult to remove. If this has happened to you, we have a solution! Prior to taking a swim, wet your hair thoroughly. This will prevent so much chlorine from entering the strands. Once you’re done, use two cups’ worth of plain water and one-quarter of a cup of apple cider vinegar to rinse your hair while it’s still wet. Problem solved!

Cut Down on How Often You Wash

While washing your hair makes for great hygienic practices, it harms your hair by removing too much of the natural oils it needs to remain healthy and protected. Rather than washing every time you shower, try dry shampoos and performing a simple shower rinse to take care of any oiliness. Only wash your hair enough to keep it from getting too grungy and be sure to take advantage of leave in conditioner when you do decide to wash. Your hair will thank you!

This may not be your first time hearing about “bronde” hair, the hair coloring trend making waves in 2016. Believe it or not, the latest sun-kissed look actually sprouted back in 2015 and has been most famously sported by actress Blake Lively. If you haven’t seen the picture of her wearing this hair color and have yet to have heard of “bronde” hair, you’ve come to the right place! We can fill you in on exactly what bronde hair is, how stylists create the look and how you can maintain it in the long run!

What Is Bronde Hair Anyway?

Bronde hair seems to be closely related to ombre, which took the last couple of years by storm, and balayage, which is rising in popularity alongside bronde. If you have naturally dark hair but aren’t sure whether blonde hair is for you, stylists commonly recommend adding blonde highlights into your hair and seeing how it looks. This is essentially what bronde is. Think of it as dark roots and lighter tints highlighting toward the tips of the hair, with both colors subtly weaving together. Many like it not just because of its noncommittal nature, but because it adds extra body to the hair in an attractive and organic-looking way.

How Is Bronde Hair Created?

Sulfate free shampoo and conditioner is great for all types of hair.

When you go to a salon, be sure to be specific with your stylist. Bronde hair is also known as “tortoiseshell,” and only refers to brunette hair highlighted with an assortment of lighter tints strewn throughout. Stylists can do this help you achieve this look through any number of ways, but the most common involve foil or the aforementioned balayage technique.

How Can I Take Care of My Bronde Hair?

If you’re the proud wearer of the bronde look, there are several things you can do to keep your color strong and vibrant. One of the first is to invest in sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. It’s easy to cause the coloring of your hair to fade due to excessive washing, as well as the wrong shampoo. Changing your washing technique is a fantastic method of providing sun protection for hair. When you’re looking for a shampoo, be sure to check whether it preserves hair coloring. You can also invest in a protective hair serum. This will serve to not only protect the color, but the overall health of your hair.
