Product Spotlight: L'Oréal Smooth Essence

L'Oréal Smooth Essence

I'm in love with L'Oréal Smooth Essence, weightless smoother for fine and limp hair. Sometimes finding a product that smoothes the hair without weighing it down is hard to find but L'Oréal has delivered with this bottle.

Smooth Essence has a small amount of hold which allows fine, limp hair to build up body! The smoother is formulated with protein extract, UV filter and vitamins to repair and reinforce hair. While adding a beautiful shine, it can also be layered with Cashmere Gelee which provides shine and extended anti-frizz control for all day results, perfect for the windy Fall days that are coming!

Dustin's Summer Tips

Whether you're relaxing on a tropical beach, cruising the lake, stomping the pavement in the city or hanging in the mountains, summer opens up the door for new styles and opportunities! 

Summer Products to Swear By:

         Kevin.Murphy Hair Resort Spray 

Want to enhance that beach wave? Throw Kevin Murphy Hair Resort Spray in your beach bag and spray in to the hair to have a natural and beautiful style throughout the day. 

          Kevin.Murphy Staying Alive

Always spray a leave-in conditioner to shield and protect the midstrands and ends of hair from the natural damage that can happen from uv rays. It will also help prevent color from fading. 

      

           Kevin.Murphy Blonde Angel 

Blondes! Hair can get sunburnt just like skin! This may cause an unwanted golden/yellow tone to the hair. Kevin Murphy Blonde angel wash and rinse can bring u back to the color you loved when you walked out of the salon! This can also help our gorgeous natural gray and silver clients as well! 

Enhance Your Natural Summer Highlights! 

Twist and braid your hair, styling hair differently, giving each strand a different sun kissed shade. Try top knots, side buns, fishtail and french braids to create a natural ombré or ballyage effect.

PROTIP: also avoid spray on sunscreen around the face as it can get in the hair and create really "unusual hair color" try traditional lotions or powder face sunscreen. 

Enjoy your summer! 

Rosie Says: Waxing Basics

Rosie Says: Tips for Summer Waxing

The time is now and with a little planing around your beach and lake trips, you will be fully prepped when it's tim to ull out skin bearing clothes.

The most popular waxing options for women include the underarms, arms, the bikini area and legs, while back waxing is a great option for men. 

Consider hair length. Most suggest the hair be 1/4" long, I find it more helpful to just let it grow! Fight the urge before your first appointment to shave for 3-4 weeks.The one time extended growth period allows hair to grow evenly, which will give you a smoother, longer lasting wax from the start.

Be nice to your skin! Moisturizing and gentle exfoliation bi-weekly helping the follicle release easier promoting a smoother, longer lasting result.

I won't tell you it doesn't hurt, there will be some discomfort.  For relief take an over the counter anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen about an hour before appointment. If you have extra sensitive skin, take a short soad in Aveeno Oatmeal Bath after your appointment. Regular waxing is the best remedy though because hair softens as does sting!

Now have fun in the sun, with SPF protection of course!

Weekend Hair Blues

Happy Friday to all of you Shine followers!  

I've been looking at weekend transitions online and to my suprise I'm finding that "weekend hair" doesn't necessarily change from "work week hair" as much as it used to.  

This Spring, the messy bun and messy updo seem to be the trend. and even though it may look simple enough, it can be a trial.  If it's not a challenge when putting it up, it could be come a challenge to keep it looking great throughout the night (a.k.a long trips to the bathroom to readjust the greatness of the messiness)

Kevin Murphy has a great solution to this... (pause for dramatic effect and shameless plug)... it called the Sewing.Kit!

I know what you're thinking... what the heck is a sewing kit doing in a salon??  Well, It's a new way to perfect and keep an updo going all weekend long by litterally sewing a style in.  

So this it my challege to you fellow Shiners...change it up for the weekend!  Get a little crazy and out of that comfort zone that we've snuggled oh so nice and tightly into!  

Here are some great examples!
