New Haircut for the New Mom

Bree

Bree's hair was so much fun to cut. She hadn't gotten a haircut for quite some time, she's a stay at home mom of 2 so time isn't really something that's just floating in the wind, and she's a natural REDHEAD! 3 of my favorite canvases. 



I ended up taking a few inches off of the bottom, added increased layers starting around the middle of the cheek/lips (to prevent having bangs), and creating a lot of texture to the ends of the hair to add a soft look/texture to said layering. When we were all finished, I used my After Party by Bed Head ( I love this stuff!) to flatiron her hair, and added a soft curl to the ends.
Happy New year to you all. Hope that it's going great sofar. Thank you so much for reading my blog, I really appreciate everything and all of the feedback.

 I wanted to address a topic that people have been asking about quite a bit when they sit in my chair which is How often should I wash my hair?
   The answer to that question really depends on your daily activity and your bodily functions. Some people have great hair, and they wash their hair every day, some people have great hair and they wash their hair once a week. It's not a BAD thing if you don't wash your hair very often, as long as you arent gunking it up with tons of product as well. The oils that your scalp releases are healthy for the hair and they help the hair to grow and prosper. when you strip the scalp of ALL of the oil, it has to mass produce more oil to compensate for what was lost. So those who complain of oily scalps, maybe you wash your hair a bit too well :).


If you notice that your hair is really dry, and you wash your hair every day, try washing it every other day to see if it can retain more moisture. If you absolutely have to wet your hair and put something in it every time you get in the shower, then ,one day use shampoo, the next day use conditioner.

For Oily hair, try using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, and on the day that you aren't shampooing your hair, use a dry shampoo to absorb some of the oils in your hair, without going so far as to dry your hair out .

Whatever you decide to do, just ensure that you're using quality products, massage your scalp when you get a chance because it helps to stimulate blood flow and feels great, and make sure that you're getting regular haircuts so your hair doesn't get too dry and/or broken!
