Healthy Hair Habits

Living in Florida has a major impact on your hair, causing color to fade faster and to dry out hair due to harmful UV rays. To prevent this using our Nutri plenish leave in spray, you can use this on damp hair to moisturize, de tangle, and protect from the heat damage or apply before you go to the beach, or pool to protect from chlorine, UV, and you UVB rays.

Many factors in our day to day lives can damage our hair, such as hard water, chemical services, and improper brushing. We can prevent and repair with our botanical repair line with many benefits, including intense bond, building technology, strengthening overnight, serums, and weekly masks in two different formulas to accommodate all textures and lengths. 

 

Reducing damage can be as simple as trying new styles to reduce heat styling damage. Over using hot tools can give you hair that looks amazing but in reality is brittle, lackluster, and dull to reduce this. Be sure to use heat relief every time you heat style or try alternative styles like a trendy claw clip, a fun braid, or even experiment with heatless curls.

How often will I be in for maintenance?

Maintenance is generally every five weeks. The first move up is usually considered a mini move up. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes. You will be asked to come in with clean, dry hair prior to these appointments..:unless you want to treat yourself to a salon blowout! 10 weeks after the initial installation, the wefts are completely removed and freshly reapplied . When the beads are moved up, natural shedding will have taken place and is trapped in the beads. The shedding is combed out and the bead is re-pinched. For example, think of when you wear a ponytail all day … then you take it out, you have all that loose hair? In the like, Imagine five weeks of shedding trapped, it must be removed! This is why the five week maintenance is sooo important. Maintenance is important to avoid any issues with matting. Yuck! Hair over-matting can lead to breakage. Courtney comments, “I mean, we’re trying to add more hair not take it away… right?! Integrity is first and foremost the most important thing to me when doing installs.”
