With this new year comes so many amazing opportunities in my life. As most of my clients already know Salon Nichole has closed it's doors. Though this is sad, it's actually come to my attention that this has been a much needed change in my professional life. The vision I have for the future of my clientele and I simply couldn't exist there.
I'm extremely excited to start working tomorrow at Letitia's Studio. I'm extending my hours to make room for professional growth and an expanding clientele. As for my long loyal clients I have to say thank you. I really can't say how much all your support means to me. I love what I do and that has mostly to do with the incredible people I get to see on a daily basis.
Now that my announcements and gratitude are out of the way, let's discuss what is really important, you.
Now that Christmas is over, New Years has come and gone, and kids are on their way back to school, it's time to do something for yourself. Chances are, this odd weather is reeking havoc on your hair. The best thing you can do for it is add moisture! The two most essential products for your hair right now are a deep conditioner and a leave in conditioner. Yes, both.
Deep Conditioner is used 1-3 times per week depending on how often you wash your hair. It should be used after cleansing, applying to the ends and working your way to your scalp (if you have an oily scalp, you'll want to keep the conditioner towards the ends). Using a wide tooth comb to gently release tangles can be helpful to evenly distribute the product. Make sure you rinse thoroughly, sometimes I like to rinse twice to be sure to get it all, especially with thick hair. I recommend Penetrate, by Sebastian ($30)
Leave-in Conditioner is used as a styling aid, which means it is put on the hair while it's still wet. You'll want to choose a Leave-in that compliments the texture of your hair, if you have thick coarse hair you'll want to use something a little heavier, I recommend Potion 9, by Sebastian ($16.40) it has enough weight to it to be effective without weighing the hair down. If you have thinner hair or a very oily scalp I recommend something lighter like Soy Tri-Wheat Leave-in Conditioner, by Healthy Sexy Hair ($14.50) it's very light but is also effective for those who need moisture but have problems with products weighing their hair down.
All of the products I've talked about you can get through me. I also offer Conditioning Treatments in the salon that you can add on to any service for $15. Or you can schedule it by itself for $25. It includes a relaxing shampoo with invigorating scalp massage and style.
I hope this helps with your midwinter hair blues and I'll see you in the salon!
