How to Spot Dehydration

My new client was also getting a cut to make her ends nice and strong.

You can easily spot dehydration by the outer colour of your hair.
If you see almost a milky halo, and it's looking kinda light, that's dehydration.

*Note the colour and shine difference in my client's hair.

I started by gently cleansing with my IM Curly Low Lather Cleanser and while her hair was wet, added a wee bit of my IM Curly Moisturizer to the ends and squished in tons of water, working up towards the root.

It should sound like a foot in a wet boot.

When I wet-cut, I always use Olaplex #2 to strengthen the bonds in my clients' hair and that in turn help the hair to retain moisture.
You know you are done squishing water in when your hair stops absorbing the water, and it sits on the outside.

You may need to go back and forth between adding a bit of water with your hands, then a small dab of Moisturizer.

It's all about the Water.

The Moisturizer is just there to attract and help hold the water in; tons of conditioner only coats the hair, it's the water that Hydrates.

Happy Hydrating !!!

Please call and rebook your appointment if you are not 100% well. Thank you ♥️

Are you 'Growing' your hair or 'Neglecting' your hair??
Learn the TWO P's of growing!
Hair grows about 6 inches per year.
In that time, there is lots of wear and tear.
Think of wearing the same clothes and exposing them to sunlight, pollution, blowdrying, washing, pulling on the fabric (ponytails), being soaked in chlorine, (you get the picture) and then ignored.
The fabric gets frayed and unravels.
Not a great scenario, right ?
This is what a lot of people think 'growing' their hair means.
This is why there is the 'growing' then 'big chop' cycle'
Then it's too short, but finally healthy.
Then you 'grow' it because it's too short.
Then you chop it because it's fried.
So..how do you REALLY grow it ??
Here's the TWO P's;
Prevent and Pamper !
You are now preparing your hair for a long distance event..
What you do over the long term is what counts.
What you do every day adds up.
The main thing is to get FREQUENT every 2 - 3 months TOPS) trims to keep the split ends away and from travelling upwards and breaking off short.
Always use professional products at home that are recommended by your stylist, who keeps track of how the products are doing for your hair.
My clients use my 100% Natural, gentle IM Curly products to pamper and hydrate their Manes!
Learn the main causes of damage and avoid them, keeping in mind that damage is cumulative.
Preventative action is what counts.
Once the damage is there, at best, you are putting a band-aid on it until it gets trimmed off.
Olaplex bond-builders and deep conditioners should be a part of your pampering.
If your hair is fried, chop it off.
Don't hang on to those 3 frizzly fried bits..they'll only get worse and the appearance of your overall hair will look like you've been in a hot air fryer!
Start growing with healthy hair.
Pamper it always.
End up with a
Gorgeous, Luscious Mane !

'I don't have curls, just FRIZZ' !
Frizz is just curly that have been separated.
That's it.

However if you need help in washing, hydrating, applying styling products and finished your waves/curls, I have a complete 13 minute video on my website just for you .

In it, I style my own hair which is very similar in wave/curl like this photo.

At this time of year, we're all feeling dried out from the lack of moisture in the cold winter air.
Here's a handy little chart I designed for you to help explain different types of damage you may also be experiencing.
However, no amount of treatments, Olaplex, K18, deep conditioners, etc. will repair split and fried hair.
The ONLY way to get healthy hair at any length is to start with healthy hair , and that means cutting off ALL of the split, frayed and broken ends, otherwise the splits keep travelling upwards and you get breakage much higher than you would have had to originally cut.
(sorry, but I want you to always have the best hair possible in the easiest way.... xoxoxo)
