Tip #3 Thin Hair

This is not exactly a hair care tip. Just a general tip about hair. However I will give tips on thin and thinning hair on a later date. But ladies and gentlemen, I do not care how much you like it or love it. I do not even care how long it took you to grow it. Thin long hair is not at all attractive at all. The main things your hair needs is alittle volume, cutting, and layering. I promise if you do you will actually look younger and I promise you will be alot happier. You will also be able to do more with you hair. And if you are dreading cutting it really short at least go alittle bit below shoulder.

Tip #2 Over the Counter VS. Professinal Products

Everyone loves the shampoo that smells like spring flowers and all of that great stuff. But when push comes to shove what we like to call over the counter shampoo and conditioner and other hair care products are not the best items to put on you hair. I like to tell clients that if they really hate professional prices go to sally's they are the next best thing. Most of the time salon prices are not as bad as they seem. Over the counter products tend to have alot of wax in them so you can get the shine that you see on tv. In reality all the wax does is coat layer after layer on your hair and creates a film that slowly chokes you hair. So while you are thinking you hair is very shiny, then you start saying your hair is very oily, then you go to my hair is oily but dry. It is actually he wax build up that you can easily get rid of by clarifying it. So with that said going pro is not a bad idea since pro products are very concentrated so you need less product saving you money. And be smart about shop around many salons have sale periods on certain brands every month or quarter. Some even have coupons like Ulta. But let me caution you NEVER, NEVER, NEVER buy pro at any place that is not a professional salon. Because most of the time when you see Bed Head and Paul Mitchell at Walmart or Cvs places like that, THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. Most of the time they are old products, sometimes they are watered down, and alot of the time the prices are higher than in the salon. PLUS most manufactures will not back the product if not in a salon. They do not authorize the sale of their products in places like that, only a certified professional can even order it. So nine out of ten it was stolen or a pro bought it and sold it to Walmart which is also illegal I think.

Tip #1 Drying Hair

Anytime you are blow drying your hair you always need to have some kind of heat protectant on you hair previous to the service to prevent damage to you hair. Also it is ideal to dry hair on a low heat setting and not to set it on full blast its is less damaging on your hair; even though it takes longer to dry your hair. Lastly always give you hair a break on the weekends when you are laying around the house let your hair air dry. You already put enough heat on it through the week try giving it a break on the weekends when you can.

Some protectants I like are:

Bed Head Superstar Blow Dry Lotion

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum

Silk Elements Mega Silk Heat Protection (@ Sally's Beauty Supply)

And of Course

Fantastic Sam's Thermal Guard ( Which happens to be really good, seriously)

* Word of caution there are way more products out there that you can use and that I have tried these are just the main ones I personally like to use. But also I have not tried everything and I am very open to try other items. Also depending on the clients hair texture depends on the product I use. Everything is NOT for everyone.*
