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!
