VOLUME! 😎 . We all want it! No one likes lookin

VOLUME! 😎
.
We all want it! No one likes looking like a drowning rat! 🐀
.
Solution- proper product application, tools, and techniques!
.
My favorite products for volume are the @hairphixhaircare volume/styling gel , the @schwarzkopfusa dust it, and the @kenraprofessional dry texture spray! These all add a little grit to the hair shaft which aids in creating volume when back combed or blown dry with a round brush. ✨
.
My favorite round brush line is @oliviagardenint . So many size/ shape options! 🙌🏼
.
When you combine products to pump up your cuticle with round brushing hair when wet you truly achieve the best results! The dust it from @schwarzkopfpro can be applied before back combing, after blown dry for best results!
.
Next how to video... proper back combing techniques. How many of you struggle with that!?! I’ll help a sister out! 😘

Quickly reminding you that you are enough just how you are. 🏆

It’s taken me 35 years, 2 babies, a 15 year marriage, and a 16 year career to really understand my worth. 😅
.
It’s not perfect by any means but man.. did you read those stats above?!👆🏼 I’m beyond grateful. So much learning and growing in those years but the one thing that has stayed the same has been my love. Love for my people, my job, my life. You truly get what you give pals. ♥️
.
So a quick thank you to say.. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE BEST! 😘
.
Im heading to bed tonight.. feet throbbing.. after a full 12 hour day behind the chair will THE FULLEST HEART!

Texture 🙌🏼 in all the right places!
.
This texture/layering was precisely chosen... because her hair is fine and if layered too heavily would deplete her length leaving her feeling stringy and sad. So! Solution- set a strong foundational length, and layer ONLY at an inversion from her crown making sure to NOT grab any hair from the ear forward to maintain her side foundation length. You have half the hair on your sides (from your ear forward) and when your client has fine hair you have to use ever hair as a delicacy! Hand carve the side texture to again maintain that strong length line and BAM! 💥
.
Soft texture with a solid foundation for the win! 🏆
.
What is your hair type/texture?! 🤔

Caramel drizzle 🍫 This combo gets me every time! 🖤

Did you know that as a good rule of thumb for hair health and ideal coloring for skin tone you should only go 2 above or 2 below your natural hair level!? 🤔
.
Now do you HAVE to stick to that rule... NO. But for ideal hair health it’s a good one to follow. 🙌🏼 This color right here is a perfect example of adding some beautiful pops of dimension without over processing the hair. It looks soft and natural and oh so yummy! 🥰
.
Do you know what your natural hair level is?! Throw down a guess below and if you are my client I’ll let ya know if you are close! Ps... it’s a scale from 1-10. 1 is darkest brown/black and 10 is pale yellow/white. GUESS AWAY! This should be fun! 🥳

Let’s talk hair WASHING 🧖🏼‍♀️ . One

Let’s talk hair WASHING 🧖🏼‍♀️
.
One question on my styling survey was- “ teen scalp build up/dandruff” 🤓 HELP!!!
.
Who has experience this! Your cute little angel gets out of the shower looking fresh and then their hair stays looking wet even after it’s dry! 😫 I know even after my few days of no washing and all the dry shampoo spray my scalp can tend to be a little extra oily. 😬
.
Solution!!! DRY SHAMPOOING! No no not the product/spray... actually taking shampoo when your hair is dry before you enter the shower and working it through as much as you can. If it’s too hard to work in sprits lightly with a spray bottle and continue to work the shampoo through your dry hair! 🧼
.
This technique ensures EVERY OUNCH of grime and dry/dandruff scalp gets saturated with shampoo as opposed to shampooing just in the shower where oil and water resist each other and shampoo can tend to miss some of that pesky build up! 🛁
.
So! Give it a whirl! Step 1- Dry shampoo comb through outside of the shower. Step 2- Shampoo again IN THE SHOWER. Step 3-
Light conditioner. Whaaalaaa! Repeat as often as needed! 🚿
.
A few of my favorite shampoos are @schwarzkopfusa deep cleansing shampoo or @hairphixhaircare moisture maintain shampoo! 🙏🏼
Hope this tip helpful love bugs! ♥️

The salon experience.... 💓
.
What does that mean to you as a stylist or a client?? 🤔
.
To me as the stylist, my goal is to make the world of that pal of mine, taking time out of their life, to come see me, leave feeling like a better/happier version of themselves. 🙌🏼
.
Not every appointment is a huge transformation... sometimes it’s the conversation that matters more than the curls... lately it’s mostly been the physical touch of another human that you know cares about you! ♥️
.
Now let’s not forget the foundation of what you are doing either... hair architecture to my core! Creating haircuts and color based off of head shape, solving problem areas, or switching gears all together with a new look. THAT gets me very excited as well! 🤓
.
All in all each person that I see in the salon, truly, I just want them to feel SEEN, HEARD, and CARED FOR. 🤟🏼
.
This photo portrays that exact thing to me. 🥰
.
Im curious.. as a client, what is your favorite part the salon experience!? 👂🏼💋

Anyone have a client with the most beautiful natural level blonde hair!?! That’s this babe right here!! She waited a LONG time to ever add any color to her locks in fear of damaging her already stunning color.
.
SOLUTION- gently placed painted in pieces to add the perfect amount of highs and lows to accent the beauty of her natural color! 🥰
.
Every time I see her I stare at her amazing locks! 😍 AND her soul is just as beautiful as she’s one of my very best gals. 💓
.
What techniques do you use when trying to softly accents a beautiful natural color?!!
.
Products used- @wellahairusa blondor and @schwarzkopfusa vibrants for toning in 9-1 and 9,5-1,9.🙌🏼

• Dim the lights 🕯
• Cue the spa 🧖🏼‍♀️ music 🎶
• Awaken the senses with all the essential oils ⚗️
• Breath and relax as we finish your shampoo with a tension releasing hand massage 🤟🏼

I could fall asleep just reading those things! 😴 THIS 👆🏼 is what we implement now in our space. If this year has taught us anything, it’s to invest in OUR PEOPLE and in the things we do to make us feel grounded and cozy! 🤍

Every single shampoo, the client, @aluralynne, and I all get a second to re-aline and it’s truly been such an amazing implementation to each service. ♥️

My people have cried in these moments, had a second in this crazy world to feel safe and breath, and has taken each service to a whole higher level. 🙌🏼

What positive habits have you implemented in these wild time pals?! I would love to hear! 🤗
