Third: The right brush will make your end results easy to achieve
and fourth and final tip in this series: The Importance Of Styling Products
What we love about styling product is that they instantly make your life so much easier when it comes to styling. For a fine haired gal a root booster will instantly add texture to her roots to create exciting volume and fullness. What I must share with you is with the changing seasons and the changing trends our hair tends to pay a price. As we fight with it to stay straight through all the humidity, static electricity, and bump up the volume, we seem to torture our strands with more heat tools. The importance of utilizing products is not only to assist us when creating lushes long lasting curls or silky smooth hair, but its to protect our hair from our curling irons, blow dryers and flat irons. Constant heat from our styling tools and even sun exposure and chlorine can cause major damage to the structure of our hair....making it dry, brittle, frizzy and possibly even breakage. Here is the dish on what you should be using.
Products don't cause damage -- misuse does. Especially with heat styling tools! Apply mousse, sprays and creams to well hydrated and wet hair and remember that less is more! People often use to much product, which can cause hair to get weighed down. Moisturizing products are great for the health of hair and can help repair and prevent damage from heat styling. When using, gently comb the product through your hair to insure that each strand is coated. Also don't forget that when you are blow drying your hair...remove most of the moisture prior to styling. If you are using a flat iron or curling iron...remove all moisture or you will burn your hair!My favorite styling products are from Bumble and Bumble and Kerastase. If your looking for soft touchable smooth hair, I would suggest using Kerastase. They have creams and serums for smoothing rough hair textures to create soft silky straight hair. Even there volumizing mouse and sprays are great for adding volume leaving a no product feel to the hair. Best of all, while all the products help protect your hair from heat damage, they have creams and sprays specifically for protecting and strengthening your hair against hot tools, pool water and sun exposure.
Volumizing products work! They provide the guts that are needed to build the style without weight, for volume and longevity.Bumble and Bumble styling aids are perfect for those looking to create texture in their hair. I believe that you get the best root boosting and volumizing results from using these products. While Kerastase results are soft...it can be to soft and sometimes you really want that extra help to give you the lift and lasting style that you need. You will get that and more with Bumble and Bumble. I like to start with the products Prep and Tonic Lotion because they protect and enhance the performance of styling products. Then if your going for volume, My favorite is Styling Creme. I Love Love Love it for its versatility and simple strength - slick back, add body, lift roots or define curl. You can use it on wet or dry hair and it holds like crazy without the stiffness! Going straight??? Use "Straight" and you will get the sleekest and straightest style easy.
Sure having training in creating the perfect blowout....or how to use a round brush may seem like it helps...but in reality without the professional tools and products...the styles you get at the salon are not possible. That is the reason why you never see a stylist using a Conair blow dryer or drug store products on our clients. Those things will cause more harm than good. I hope that you all found this series helpful and feel free to give my any tip ideas. I love to know what it is you all want to know. Thanks again
