Care Tips for Wigs

 
Washed, Layered Cut and Styled 
Long or short wigs take some extra work and consideration to keep them looking new and beautiful. I take care of my clients wigs. If you can not afford to drop them off here are some tips you can do at home.
Brushing:
Use a brush or wide toothed comb with flexible bristles to detangle your wig.
Starting from the bottom of the wig and working up, brush your wig, taking time to work out any knots. Combing away from the wig in a gentle sweeping motion  rather than brushing straight down will help prevent matting. Do not brush from the top of the wig downwards as this will cause tangles. Only brush or comb your wig when it is needed. Do not tug or pull on the wig fibers if you feel resistance when brushing. Instead, finger comb out sections of hair that have twisted together. Remove the wig to detangle it.
Some products may cause your wig to matt. Use wig specific detanglers and gels on long wigs.
Storage:
Keep all original packaging and return your wig to it’s netting and bag after gently combing it. Long wigs can be loosely braided to prevent tangling while stored.
Cleaning:
If you wash your wig, do not comb it while wet. Instead, wait for the wig to fully dry (air dried recommended) before brushing and styling.
I hope these tips help and if not we are available to care for it for you. :)

Is It Time For A Haircut?





For many of us, getting a haircut is a big step even a big deal. Even if you know you need a trim, you love your long hair so much that it’s tough to admit it’s time for a haircut. You may be trying to grow your hair to have the gorgeous curls and lengths of your favorite celebrity and you don’t want to disrupt the growth process. Here’s the good news: you can keep the number of cuts to a minimum, but you still need a couple of trims every year. I recommend a trim every 4 months to keep the dead ends off.

Adding shape to your hair, but keeping the length is what you want to go for. Here’s the scoop to help you decide if it’s time for a trim! When split-ends start taking over. Split ends can leave your hair looking stringy and flat, while a quick trim will bring back your full, thick look. When the tangles are too much. Stringy, split ends will result in more knots. And, when it’s tough to get the brush through, it’s time to get spruced. If your hair has a triangle shape. When your hair starts to grow into the shape of a triangle down your back, it’s time to get a cut. If your gorgeous locks start looking flat. If you have to resort to loads of product and your at-home blowout just doesn’t look quite right – it’s probably time for a cut.

It is important to communicate with you hairstylist. Take pictures and show you stylist your vision.  How about you – is it time for a cut?

6 Easy Tips To Help Your Skin Survive Winter

 
 

 

It's no secret that skincare should change with the seasons, but it can be tough to know what's best when the weather turns wicked. Here are a few simple things that you can do to keep your skin healthy all winter long so that it's fresh and glowing come spring:
 
 

1. Buff away dry winter skin

Buff away your dry winter skin and reveal a glowing complexion with a luxe body scrub. I look for a combination of sloughers (exfoliating granules) and softeners (natural oils) to leave my skin soft and hydrated. Something like AHAVA's Softening Butter Salt Scrub($25) is the perfect solution.
 

2. Seal in moisture

Once out of the shower, seal in moisture from head to toe. On my face, I like to amp up the hydration with the addition of glycerin and hyaluronic acid, while I opt for something lightweight and easy to apply from the neck down.
 

3. Ease up on cleanser

Colder weather means that it's time to lighten up your cleanser, because over cleansing can strip and irritate skin. I love Trish McEvoy's Gentle Cleansing Wash because it's creamy and soap-free. It's safe enough to be used on my eye area and easily rids my face of the day's makeup, without scrubbing.
 

4. Use non-drying products

If you use a facial serum or toner, make sure that it's extra gentle and nondrying. Skin tends to lose moisture in the winter, which can result in rebound oil production and more breakouts than usual.
 

5. Double down on hydration

If you find your skin to be extra dry, invest in a hydrating facial mask that doesn't need to be washed off and can be worn overnight.
 

6. Protect your hands and nails

Probably the most exposed to the elements, your hands and nails need extra protection this time of year. When it comes to a hand cream, the richer the better and a sweet scent doesn't hurt. Perlier's White Almond Hand Cream ($15), which sinks right in and soothes on contact.
 
I hope these tips are helpful in transitioning your skin through the bitter cold. If you've got additional tricks or products that are saving your skin this winter, I would love to hear about them in the comments! by  LaraRamos

Why Won't Your Hair Return to its Natural Texture After Straightning?

 
 

What happened is heat damage. Yes, your hair can lose its ability to curl and will remain permanently straight, and damaged. This happens when you use heat that's too high – it doesn't have to happen over time. One incident with a too hot curling iron, flat iron or a any hot tool and this could happen. Even if you wear your naturally curly hair straight all the time, this isn't a result you want because the hair has been fried straight and now is not healthy.

The only solution for the damaged hair is, unfortunately, to cut it off. If you have several damaged sections all over, you'll need to get rid of them, which means an overall cut. If you're trying to grow your hair longer, this is probably the last thing you want to hear, but it's necessary for the overall health of your hair. Once you cut off the damaged parts, you can start or return to a healthy hair regimen. Keep in mind that the new regrowth will be curly and healthy.

There are many hot tools with a controlled heating button. It will make you adjust the heat yourself. I also recommend a heat protectant for your hair before the heat. I have been a hairstylist since 1999 and as a professional I recommend weekly deep condition. I personally straighten my hair every two days and my hair is still curly. Hope this information helps and visit back soon.
