3 Hair Tips Every Girl Should Know

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 3, 2015Leave a Comment

Have you ever heard someone say, “I wish I knew then, what I know now.” Knowledge is truly everything and should not be taken for granted, especially when it comes to taking care of yourself. Keep hair healthy and gorgeous with these 3 tips!

1. Sulfate Free Shampoo- Not only are sulfate free shampoos more gentle on your tresses but they can possibly even clean your hair and scalp better. Some shampoos that cause tons of lather often contain a large amount of moisturizing products that can leave nasty build-up on your hair, the very opposite of what you are trying to accomplish. Gross!

2. Cool It Down- Once the shampoo and conditioning steps have been taken always, always, always rinse your hair with cold water. Cool water will seal the cuticle which add sleeker finish to your locks.

3. 10 Minute Rule- Before you blow dry, curl, roll, twist, braid or straighten your hair, you should aim to apply any protection or styling products 10 minutes before you begin your hair process. Doing so will give the products time to penetrate and absorb into strands so that you can derive the most benefits from said products.

This year achieve no fuss hair by styling your tresses with a head band. Models that walked for French designer Pascal Millet for his Spring/Summer 2015 women’s ready-to-wear collection during Paris Fashion Week sported them super close to the hairline. Straight, curly or wavy hair would all look great with this hair accessory.

Fashion Notes: We love the twisted bandeau top, helps to break up the bold color (showing skin) and adds even more spice to the design.

Hair Quickie: Besides deep conditioning your hair once a week after coloring your hair you can help extend your color even while you are still at the salon. Tell your hair stylist that you would like them to add a semi-permanent hair glaze or gloss at the time of coloring. This added treatment will seal your hair’s cuticle as well as extend your hair’s color in a safe manner.

Hair Coloring and Hot Oil Treatments

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 18, 2022January 21, 2015Leave a Comment

Most likely if you have changed your hair color it is your desire to keep your new tint looking rich and luxurious. There are some treatments that will help the color last and others will dull or strip it. Hot oil treatments are something that you will want to limit or use with caution to maintain vibrancy.

Hot oil treatments are known to contain high levels of acidity such as if you perform a treatment with olive oil. The oil will strip the color and there goes your gorgeous new shade. Nevertheless, do not despair you can still perform hot oil treatments even after taking a hair color leap. To do so, you will need to look for a product that has been specifically formulated for color-treated hair in order to maintain your dye job.
