The Truth To Achieving Salon Style At Home

Do you ever find yourself saying..."I never seem to be able to style my hair at home the way my stylist does my hair in the salon". Or how about, "My hair always looks great when my stylist does my hair but never looks the same when I try to do it myself". I will bet you a million dollars that the problem is not you!!! That's right... it is not your lack of skills that is giving you all those bad hair days. The trick to styling hair is NOT many years of training on how to use a round brush. Healthy hair and professional tools are the key to achieving beautiful long lasting styles.

The reason your hair looks and feels so great  when you visit the salon is because of the products and tools we use on your hair to achieve those favorite looks. From the shampoo and conditioner...styling products...and yes... down to the type of blow dryer and brushes contribute to amazing and lasting style. During this 4 day series I will share with you the real deal on how to achieve salon hair at home... none of which will have anything to do with skills.

First Things First: You might be washing your hair the wrong way...
Most of us think we have this down pat, but for all we know, we might be wrong. After all, we have been washing our hair all our lives. How could we go wrong with something like washing our hair? However, we might be washing our hair the wrong way and contribute to its damage without actually knowing it. When your hair is damaged by the use of hot flat irons, highlights, pool water or sun exposure, your hair is dry, brittle with blasted open cuticles making it frizzy. When your hair is in this condition, it is rebellious, at times full of static and unmanageable. Your hair color also appears dull and shine free. All of these negatives work against you making it harder to create great looks fast and easy.

Professional vs Cheap:
               Cheap shampoo and conditioners coat the outside of your hair in wax or silicone!!! That's why it feels soft, and "repaired" but it is doing nothing for the internal structure of your hair. All it actually is doing is coating your damaged hair w/ a waxy buildup that will take a lot more shampooing w/ a clarifying shampoo to remove. And that is only going to dry out your hair further! The stuff you get at the drug store or market is basically like throwing detergent on your head with a little silicone for temporary softness. Your hair is extremely delicate...more so than your face. Would you use detergent on your face??? Unlike your skin... hair that is out of the scalp is dead and cannot repair itself.
               Professional products are more expensive because of the quality ingredients to improve your hair from the inside out apposed to using cheap fillers and temporary coatings. Because professional products actually produce results, adding moisture, filling and repairing the holes of the hair follicle...you will start to need less and less product. A quarter size of shampoo and conditioner is all you need. You will find your professional products lasting longer then your cheap stuff...saving yourself money in the long run. So please stop if your going to spend money...spend it on something that works. Why would you spend a bunch of money on getting your hair colored and cut to ruin it with cheap product.

               My favorite professional salon brand of shampoo and conditioners is Kérastase Paris and I use it on all my clients at The Den Salon. I like this line because every person is unique and each hair type has its own particular needs. For these reasons Kérastase has an entire collection of personalized haircare products that target and tailor to all of those individual needs. With some of the most advanced technology in the industry, Kérastase products transform your hair instantly.
