Blowouts are one of the most common services at any hair salon. Typically, a blowout involves a salon wash followed by styling as your hair dries. The result? Professionally crafted waves, curls, or sleek, straight hairstyles—achieved with a hairdryer and straightener.

Just as you are told that biting your nails is a bad habit, so is snapping off your hair’s split ends. If you are bored and catch yourself passing time by with this destructive hair habit, then STOP! How did the hair split? Stress… Stress can be caused by many different things, among them are: over use of hot tools, a rough combing session, coloring, highlighting, freezing outside temperatures or even too much sun exposure. Snapping the ends off is creating further damage. It makes the hair cuticle peel back, thinning the hair strand. Now the thin strand becomes more fragile and easily broken. It is more challenging to grow hair longer if every time hair grows it breaks. Hence, you will always stay at the same length. Tip: Instead of keeping old habits, routinely schedule your hair for trim. Keratin Treatments like Silk Touch Keratin Treatments and serums i.e. Ultimate Repair System Revival Serum are also great for sealing split ends.
You take so much time curling your hair for a party and mid party your curls are more like waves going flat. Here are 6 steps to create curls that have staying power. Step 1: Wash hair from oil and dirt. Oil and dirt weigh down hair. This includes conditioner, so go easy on applying a heavy amount. Step 2: Towel dry and use a lightweight product that protects hair from heat (Smoothie by Hair Bar NYC). Step 3: Time to Blow dry. This isn’t going to be one of those beautifully sleek, glossy looking blow outs. Soft hair will not hold a curl for long. Instead use a paddle brush or just work through with your fingers. Flip your head over while blow drying for added volume. Step 4: Mist some hairspray (Stay Perfect Hairspray by Hair Bar NYC) on each section before wrapping it around the curling iron. Adjust Curling iron temperature with higher heat for thicker hair section. Cutting sections smaller will create tighter curls. Tighter curls will take a much longer time to loosen up into waves.
