FRIZZ!!!!
In the time I have been a stylist FRIZZ has come up A LOT!!! I often get the question "how do I tame down this unwanted frizz???"
Often frizz is caused by damage done to the cuticle of the hair, however a lot of women with curly hair have the issue of frizz and unmanageable hair.
Now a days everyone is into homemade remedies... do they always work? Maybe...are they damaging? Maybe... we are going to go over a few and see, also i am going to talk a little about the BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT treatments.
Is this how you feel some mornings? I use too! I am a hairdresser and I get overwhelmed with my hair too!
(lol that felt good to get off my chest!)
first home remedy:
Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse Apple cider vinegar is amazing at helping to smooth frizzy hair, and a plus is thatit gives a great healthy shine. After shampooing your hair (and completely rinsing shampoo out), pour the apple cider vinegar over your hair(be careful your shower may become a slip N slide).Next let sit for about 30 seconds and then rinse – rinse with cool water (cool water will help seal your cuticle down leaving you with smoother shiner hair). You can then condition as you normally would. If the smell of the vinegar bothers you, you can add some water to dilute it down.
**I HAVE ALSO HEARD OF PEOPLE SKIPPING SHAMPOO ALL TOGETHER...THAT'S ANOTHER TOPIC SOON TO COME!**
COCONUT OIL: the second remedy...
Oh man I LOVE me some coconut oil!!! It has so many health benefits. I apply coconut oil to my hair like 2 times a week and let me tell you that it rocks my little socks off!!! I also apply it in my 5 year old daughters hair because she absolutely HATES combing or brushing her hair.. I get in the shower shampoo as normal and the apply coconut oil to my mid-length to ends of my hair then I let it sit and shave my legs wash my face and body and sometimes I even get out with it on my head.. I leave it on about 20-25 min then the slip n slide begins!!! RINSE it out and WALA!!!!! Amazingly soft smooth and shiny hair!!!! I know your probably thinking what one do you use???
Well here it is the one I use... I buy mine at the fresh market and it only cost like 5-7 dollars I think... exact price to follow later :) Mine is a solid and as i put it in my hands it melts down into a liquid... PLUS THIS DOESNT SMELL AS BAD AS THE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR!!!!!!
Now on to the Famous BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT!!!!
I use this system in the Salon I work at and at first I was a little skeptical... just because when I was trained back in beauty school we used the Keratin complex by Peter Coppela (which I thought was the best way ever!!! and the ONLY WAY!!!)
Ok let me start by saying that a Brazilian Blowout is NOT A KERATIN TREATMENT!!!!
It is NOT a relaxer or a straightening system it is a AMINO ACID TREATMENT made to smooth down the cuticle of the hair and cause tremendous shine and smoothing benefits. The ingredients all come from the amazon and the main ones are ACAI, CAMU CAMU. The system uses Aminos to re-texture and rejuvenates the hair and seals the cuticle down. There is no down time (the minute you leave the salon you can swim,workout, and even but your hair in a ponytail or clip!) results can last up to 12 weeks.The results are truly amazing! (here is some before and afters!!)
So my Hubby thinks I should talk about our family?
Here is a little about us.. We are newly weds.. YAY! I'm still in shock. We have 3 kids together (all from previous relationships) Only one lives with us here in Florida. (we dearly miss the other two!) We are planning a trip back home to visit soon! Hope you enjoy the hair tips! it you want me to talk about something or explain something you guys have questions with COMMENT!!!!!!
