HAIR HAIR AND MORE HAIR!!!
OK, SO… ALMOST EVERYONE IN 2013 HAS SEEMINGLY ASKED THEMSELVES…. SHOULD I GO NATURAL???
Let’s get this Straight! If you have recently joined the Natural Hair Revolution and you have asked yourself …. How often should I get my hair straightened? That is a very good question, and I have the answer for you! I have seen many different textures and curl patterns and with all of them you still need to keep your hair healthy and prevent breakage. In order to do that you need to do three things: Eliminate splitting ends (Regularly) Moisturize Protect your tresses at night (while sleeping) Splitsville In order to get an accurate trim you should have your hair pressed out or straightened about every three months (if you're rocking the natural look 90% of the time). When I straighten my clients curls and coils I always deep condition first…This helps to prevent having to take off too much when trimming. To ensure that you don’t ruin your curl pattern with excessive heat, always put your straightener on a lower temperature 390-410 degrees (Make sure to only use straighteners with a temperature controlled setting). The courser your hair is the higher the temp should be… If you want it to stay straighter longer, use more heat and when you shampoo it again always use a protein treatment to help restore your hairs elasticity. Moisture Mania Natural hair tends to be on the dryer side (depending on the texture), therefore you really should find a product for natural hair to quench your hair’s immense thirst! This will insure that your lovely locks won’t break due to dryness or brittleness! Protect & Serve At night, or whenever you lay down for an extended period of time, you should ALWAYS have something covering your hair! Satin materials tend to be the most effective! So there you have it! It’s those three simple steps right there that’s going to make sure your hair continues to grow healthy and happy! Thee Hair Guru Questions or comments?

Hello all, Let me ask you, what helps you to determine the hairstyle for you? Is it your hairdresser or a picture you saw on your favorite celebrity or maybe something totally unexpected? (Really, leave your answer in the comment section, I would love to know). Experts say that women choose the way they wear their hair based on face shape, neck length and hair density (how thick or thin the natural hair is). The size of her head (or forehead) is also taken into consideration. This is somewhat true, but this day and age, I find these particular attributes are being considered less and less
Curls, Curls, Curls.. Listen! Since my first job as a Hairstylist , all I could see was curls with my eyes closed. Lol. That’s just how often I curled hair. They say what you practice the most will soon become a natural habit(maybe I came up with that version lol). Kinky, Curly, Coily, wavy, or straight , you name it, I love it. Just the idea that I can manipulate someone’s hair texture in healthy ways to achieve many looks on the same head is exciting. Also I have the skill of doing Blow-outs. Not many people know what a blow out is so I’ll break it down. The Blow-out service involves a round brush from a pre-dried state after washing the hair. This technique is great for softer textures and those who have finer hair that doesn’t hold a curl too great before using a hot tool. The hot tools used would be flat iron, curling iron, curling wand etc..depending on style choice. I love to do Flat Twist styles, updos ,and even Protective styling as well. Braiding , Twist and Crochet are great for styles for longevity. My biggest concern with weave or Protective styles is just the health , tension, and condition of the hair before even considering alternative styles. Damage , breakage, thin hair-lines, bumps and headaches etc.. A NO, NO . Of course I can’t leave out the ladies who have a signature style (the same look) keeping it simple and convenient. Looking for a Hairstylist who loves your hair as if it were her own, uses natural products that aren’t harsh and also giving your Natural hair more options of styling, braids , cuts and color? I’m your girl. ⁃ Hair Care Provider Ja’Brielle Clark
