Tired of your solid hair color?

Looking to brighten up your solid hair color?  Try adding some highlights that are just a few shades lighter than your base color, like the ones shown here.   

Because the highlights are not too light, the grow-out is soft and you will only need to touch them up about every third appointment. They will add some dimension to your hair without looking streaky.  

This color technique works with all colors and on short, long and men's haircuts.  Stylists are extra busy this time of year, so book your holiday appointment now so you can look fabulous for all those family photos!

What in the world does my stylist mean?

Have you ever been to the salon and your stylist uses a term or phrase that leaves you thinking "What in the world does he/she mean?"  I am here to help.  

Today's word:

PRODUCT

To help explain what someone means when they say "product" I need to tell you a little story.  One day I was cutting my friend Teresa's hair.  At the time, I had probably been doing Teresa's hair for the past 3 or 4 years.  We had added bangs and she asked me what she could do to help style them.  I said, "all they need is a little product," and quickly moved on to styling them.  Teresa sat in silence for about a minute and then confessed, "Carina, there is something I have wanted to tell you for a few years.  I have no idea what you mean when you say product."



Product can mean anything you put in your hair: gel, mousse, pommade, hairspray, heat protectant, even shampoo.  So, anytime a stylist tells you that you need product, ask them to clarify which one!  I am lucky enough to use both Aveda and Kevin Murphy products in the salons that I work in.

Try KEVIN MURPHY'S Moisture shampoo and conditioner along with their 

Straight Defense for a sleek, shiny look.  

Use AVEDA'S Daily Hair Repair as a leave-in conditioner for hair that is dry and damaged.  Smooth Infusion Style-prep Smoother helps fight humidity.

AirControl hairspray is my all-time favorite Aveda product.  Use it as a finishing touch to keep everything in place.  You can layer it on as well and it will give you a very strong hold.  

Have fun!
