                  New Year! New Hair!!
                  Here are some great tips I've picked up over the year of 2011!
                  During the year I've learned that California's water can be pretty harsh on our hair. Along with dry weather and a lot of heat in California it's very important to keep your hair  moisturized.
                  Keeping your hair moisturized starts with conditioning. I found that many people don't use regular, rinse-out conditioners every time they wash their hair. Even using a small amount of rinse-out conditioners every time you wash your hair will help keep split ends away and protect your hair from breakage at the ends. Using products on wet hair will protect your hair from heat damage during styling and keep it moisturized throughout the day. Deep conditioners are a great way to keep your hair moisturized and healthy. Some of my clients mentioned that it makes their hair look oily by the end of the day, so they don't usually use it. To keep the leave-in conditioners from having this effect on your hair apply most of it to the ends. With many leave-in conditioners using a little bit goes a long way, so take a dime to a quarter size dot in betweens your palms and apply to the ends of your hair while it's still wet. Using this technique will keep the leave-in conditioner away from your roots and won't give your hair that oily shine effect.  This can also be used for serums or oils for your hair. My favorite products this past year have been Zerran Equalizer which is a leave-in OR rinse conditioner,  and CHI Silk Infusion which is an oil i use on the ends of my hair. Both of these products give my hair great shine and keeps my hair incredibly soft.
                  Growing out your hair can be a long process sometimes. To help grow out long healthy locks it is important to condition and trim regularly. It does seem silly to regularly cut your hair if you want it to grow but if you have dead, split ends its breaking upwards on your hair shaft keeping your hair at the same length. Often times people will you between 4-8 weeks between haircuts, and if you get a haircut and deep condition regularly you'll love the end result when you have long healthy hair!
                  I hope everyone has a happy 2012!!! More tips and DEALS to come!!

                  Treat Yourself Tuesdays! 11/21/2011

                  Not only do I enjoy styling hair, but I enjoy being able to help my clients maintain healthy, shiny hair. The best ways to acheive healthy hair are keeping your hair moisturized and trimmed on a regular basis. Every Tuesday I offer a FREE deep conditioning treatment when you purchase a haircut! The process is very simple and is NOT time consuming. Deep conditioning treatments work the best when there is heat involved, the heat helps penetrate the product into your hair for full absorption.  So the process is simply sitting under a hair dryer with conditioner on and relaxing while your hair soaks up the conditioner.  You can book an appointment via email, cell phone, facebook, or by just commenting on this blog! Have a great hair day!!

                  It's almost November and that means the cold and wet season is coming up. Everyone can appreciate that winter brings rain and rain brings us beautiful flowers. Rain however is our hair's worst nightmare. Its hard to keep frizzy, curly hair under control when it's rainy and foggy outside. Now there is a healthy, organic way to keep frizz under control using RealLisse Hair smoother. It doesn't completey eliminate your natural curl but calms the frizz and allows easier maintenance. November 10th I will be running a special for this amazing hair smoother that is odorless, and has ZERO chemical!

                  Thank you for visiting my page!

                  This Blog section I will use to keep you posted on special deals I can't wait to share with you, as well as interesting and fun hair and make-up articles and stories.

                  Here is a little about me.  I graduated from Simi Valley Cosmetology School in 2010 and has been professionally practicing hair since 2010 at K.C.'s Hair and Nail Shoppe.  My passion for make up and hair design grew from the moment I could play with both, before I was even a teenager!  I was raised in Thousand Oaks most of my life and attended local schools, including Park Oaks, Los Cerritos, and Thousand Oaks High School. 

                  My favorite time, other than when I'm doing hair and make-up, is spent at the beach relaxing and enjoying the wonders of the beautiful ocean.

                  I am a very kind, loving and caring person and truly believe in living and giving the best to every day!  I hope to meet and show you, just that!
