Braids Braids Braids!

Fishtail and French Braids aren't just for little girls anymore. This braid craze has taken the beauty world by storm. Braids are everywhere! Including the red carpet.  I am super excited about the braid frenzy that is going on! I love braids. A simple braid can add a little or a lot of drama to your daily hair. Braids are also a quick and easy way to keep your hair out of your face and perfect for the beach!

 Here's a few tips on how to make your braid look fashionable:

1. Have clean or one day dirty hair. If your hair is more than a day dirty will be too greasy and won't separate as easily.

2. Braid your hair like normal, in which ever braid style you choose

 (regular, fishtail or french)

3. Secure ends with an elastic band

4. Go through the braid and loosen it up.. gently pull on the braid so it looks a little messy

5. Add a little hair spray and your braid is all set!

Stressed Out? Breathe In!

I've always loved the smell of lavender, especially since it is a proven aroma to calm and relieve stress! So needless to say when I heard Aveda was coming out with "Stress Fix" a  body care line that captures the essence of lavender I was thrilled. So let me fill you in on what Aveda's Stress Fix is all about. 

The Stress Fix body care line contains a body lotion, bath salts and a balancing concentrate. Stress Fix is infused with french lavender, lavandin and clary sage from organic farms. We're excited to be able to claim that this is a 'clinically-proven stress-relieving aroma'.

Why use Aveda Hair Color?

Aveda hair color is up to 96% naturally derived. This color system delivers fade resistant natural, intense and blonde results while infusing the hair with incredible condition and shine. Aveda hair color contains individual hair color components that allow the Hair Stylist to customize the hair color for each guest, depending on their desired color. Our color tubes are manufactured with 100% wind power and post-consumer recycled content (PCR).  And we are the First beauty company to be manufacturing with 100% wind power! Yay Aveda!

 Aveda uses Green Tea Extract in the hair color. Green Tea Extract creates a larger molecule in the hair, which creates a fade-resistant color with broader shade possibilities. 100% certified organic sunflower, castor, jojoba, coconut and babassu oils help protect the hair during processing and deliver beautiful shine. Best of all our hair color is formulated without nitro dyes, silicones, parabens and animal-derived ingredients.

Trend Alert: Ombre Highlights!

Ombre Highlights are the latest trend in hair color. This highlight technique is a fun, new, alternative to highlighting your hair. Ombre Highlights are when the ends of your hair graduate to another color, usually a color lighter or blonder. 

These highlights can be done on any color or in any color. Depending on how natural or dramatic your desired finished look is. 

If you want that natural, sun-kissed, bleached ends look on medium to longer length hair which leaves the ends lighter than the roots, Ombre highlights are perfect for you!

 Depending on what color you and your stylist chose for your Ombre, the time between appointments may be longer than the normal 6-8 weeks your classic highlights. 

Southern California Weather

"My hair is so dry and frizzy. It wont hold curl like it use too. How do I fix this?"

"I've noticed my make up isn't lasting all day anymore. My skin feels dry. Is this normal? What do I need to use to help moisturize my skin?"

"My color seems to lighten a lot quicker in the Spring/Summer months. Is the sun damaging my hair?"

Many clients have been coming into the salon with concerns like these. As well as wanting to know what products to use to help get rid of this frustration. After hearing this throughout the salon, I figured there are probably more clients who have this problem but aren't speaking up. Good News my friends! I have the answers to your dry unruly hair and skin problems!

Let's talk about your dry hair first. Even though it's only February, it is still very important to protect your hair (color treated or virgin hair) from UVA / UVB rays. This is simply done by using a deep conditioner like the New AVEDA Color Conserve Daily Color Protect or the Sun Care Protective Hair Veil. Both of these AVEDA products contain wintergreen and cinnamon oil which will protect your hair from the UVA / UVB rays as well as from the heat from your blow dryer/ flat iron/ curling iron. These products can help your color last up to 3 weeks longer. 

So what about your skin? We all know how important it is to protect your skin from the sun. Wearing sunglasses and a hat is great, but just isn't enough. Sunscreen and moisturizer's are the answer! AVEDA's Inner Light Mineral Tinted Moisture Spf 15 is an oil-free moisturizer that comes in 7 shades, including a color-less sheer. This SPF 15 Moisturizer continues to hydrate and protect your skin after 8 hours of wear. Using a serum and a moisturizer are two other great ways to help hydrate your skin. AVEDA has put together a Tourmaline Charged Skin Care Set designed to infuse your skin with radiance and moisture. Tourmaline is a naturally energizing mineral which helps protect and hydrate your skin.
