Get the look: Mercedes-Benz fashion week

The real head turner of this season’s presentation, the hair! Styled to have drama and edge, the look was created with a lot of grit and texture applied by Rene Furterer’s Volumea Spray and Mousse throughout the scalp. They then hand dried the hair leaving a natural texture that was able to be easily manipulated into a ponytail which was then swept forward for a Faux -Bang with soft natuarla pieces falling out around the perimeter.

More heat, no problem

Styling our hair with hot tools can really take a toll. Especially when we do it everyday. After a while of using flat irons and blow driers etc. on my hair, it started becoming very brittle, dry and my color was fading faster and I was still using heat protectants. Having worked behind the chair it is my duty to educate on how to keep hair strong and healthy but how could I do that when mine was falling apart in my hands? So I stopped using all tools and my hair went back to normal. Only problem is I like to style my hair and not being able to find the right heat protectant I just couldn’t.

Designed and tested by Italian hairdresser, Oscar Blandi launched his line in 2005. Oscar is a native of Naples, Italy with hairdressing in his blood. He started working on hair when he was just 14 and has his father, brother and 3 of his sisters all in the industry. I guess you can say he was born with a comb and shears in his hand. Now Oscar resides in New York and works on celebrities such as Faith Hill, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner, and Jessica Biel.

After discovering Oscar Blandi Dry Styling Heat Protect Spray, I can now style my hair without fear. In my experience with Oscar Blandi not only is my hair protected but with the Keratin properties it is much stronger and shinier! Not only that but you can use the Oscar Blandi Dry Styling Spray as a day 2 re-styler. Yes!!! Now you can keep your style for an extra day with no added heat (unless you need it). Also, this spray can withstand heat up to 450 degrees. I use this spray to not only flat iron my hair but also to diffuse my hair, while it s damp, giving my curls a soft, shiny bounce.

Your Hair Will Love The “VERB”

Your hair is your crowning glory and the more you take care of it the better it looks. Is it dry? Or does the color tend to fade too quickly? The answer to your problems is VERB Hair Products.

The number one problem to your hair care problems is improper hair products. When purchasing a product you MUST find a product that is for your hair type. But sometimes that can be hard. VERB products are made for all hair types and will not fade out hair color, It will help to hydrate even the driest hair and will not weigh down fine hair. When you get out of the shower your hair should feel clean and soft, and not greasy. Usually if your hair feels greasy right after you shampoo it then you are not using a product that is made for your hair type.

VERB Hair Products

VERB Hair Products

Unlike products such as Big Sexy Hair and CHI that have competition from retailers such as TJ Maxx and Kohls, you will not find VERB anywhere but in your local salon. VERB products come in an eye catching package that not only shows just what each product is, but will also tell you just what they do. Also, you don’t have to spend time trying to look for a specific shampoo or conditioner for your specific hair type. VERB is just one line and can be used on all type. If you hair is fine, coarse or even curly, VERB will work for you. VERB Product line comes with shampoo, conditioner, leave-in mist, volumnizing spray, sea spray to give off nice beach waves, dry wax, finishing polish, ghost oil serum and dry shampoo.

Each product is specifically designed to help enhance the texture, look and all over health of your hair. They are all gluten and sulfate free and being that they can only be found in your local salon, you know you are getting the utmost treatment for your hair.

It’s Getting Hot in Here

Photo by Emily Miller, Hair by: Emily Miller, Casy Nolan, Tonya Perry

When I’m in the salon I seem to run into the same problem day after day, not enough counter space.  When I get busy my station looks like a hurricane hit it.  IT’S BAD!!!!!  It can also be very embarrassing for my clients to see my messy station.  Even rearranging my tools never did the trick either.  I felt like my station needed to grow another arm so to speak.

I just about gave up until I discovered The Hot Iron Holster.  When I first took it to work I decided to try it out.   I put my 1 1/2 inch curling iron it, cranked it up to the highest degree (450) and let it hang from my station for 20 minutes.  I couldn’t believe how strong the Holster was.  It held that seering hot curling iron on my station with the utmost strength and durablity I have ever seen and didn’t burn or melt it.

The Holster has no adhesives or suction cups to hold it in place and can cling to any smooth surface.  Not only good in salons, The Hot Iron Holster can also be used at home, or any place you do your hair.   I also found that The Hot Iron Holster is also great for holding, brushes, hair products, and even that one little in the way dodad that you can never seem to know what to do with.

All I can say as a professional hairdresser is that The Hot Iron Holster is a must have for ALL I hairstylists and anybody with hot tools.  So stop dealing with clutter and get yourself one NOW!!!! 🙂

Turn up the Volume

Many women notice that when they get older their hair tends to thin out and cause balding.  Balding is not only caused by age, it can be caused by having had cancer, constant pulling of the hair and even childbirth.  As a hairstylist I get asked the question “How can I make my hair grow”?  Even though I don’t have the answer for making hair grow naturally, I can make you look like your hair grew in.

Evolve Volumizer has made many women across the United States regain their confidence in their appearances.  Evolve comes in a large supply of colors and textures, to give you a customized look. Once your color and texture have been selected and ordered ,the certified stylist can place Evolve wherever it needs to be on the scalp and then start the process off applying it to your own hair. Once Evolve has been attached and put in place, the stylist then can pull your own hair through little holes on the piece to blend the hairpiece with your hair to make it look more natural. It is made with 100% human hair so once it’s in place, Evolve then can be washed and styled like you would everyday.

I always feel sorry for women who don’t have the hair they want, but now there is hope.  Check out www.evolvinghair.com and see for yourself just what Evolve Volumizer can do for you.
