📩 Here’s the tea↴ A flawless silk press starts with the perfect blow-dry! Rushing through this step or not fully smoothing out the hair before flat ironing leads to frizz, puffiness, and excessive heat exposure. A smooth blow-dry stretches the curl pattern, seals the cuticle, and eliminates excess moisture, creating a sleek foundation for a silky, lightweight, and long-lasting silk press.

📩 Why do hairstylists always cut too much?↴ I hear this all the time, and I get it—nobody wants to lose more length than expected. But here’s the truth: how much we cut is based on your hair’s needs AND your personal preference. ✂️ If you want to retain length, I’ll take off just enough to remove damage. This keeps your ends healthy without sacrificing growth. Think of it as a maintenance trim to stop breakage before it starts! ✂️ If you want a fresh, stylish cut, that’s a different approa...

📩 Here’s the tea↴ Does your hair feel weak, limp, or like it just won’t hold a style? It might be screaming for a protein treatment! But before you grab any random product, let’s talk about how to choose the RIGHT protein for your hair type. Your porosity plays a HUGE role in which protein treatment will work best for you. High porosity hair? You need a stronger protein to fill in those gaps. Low porosity? A lightweight protein is your best bet to avoid buildup. And did you know there’s a d...

📩 Not all hair damage is the same! ↴ If your hair is dry, brittle, breaking, or thinning, you need to understand the cause of the damage and what stage of damage you’re dealing with—because what works for mild dryness won’t help severely compromised hair. Let’s start with the basics. Hair damage occurs when the hair shaft is compromised. The outermost layer of the hair, the cuticle, acts as a protective barrier. When the cuticle is intact, it keeps moisture in and protects the inner layers ...

📩 When was the last time you had blood work done? ↴ It might seem like an odd question coming from a hairstylist, but when a client sits in my chair with dry, damaged, or brittle hair, this is one of the first things I ask. Why? Because healthy hair starts from within. Issues like excessive shedding, thinning, or breakage can often be tied to internal factors like low iron, vitamin deficiencies, or even hormonal imbalances. No product or treatment can fully fix the problem if your body isn’...

📩 Avoid Heat Damage↴ Flat ironing dirty hair might seem harmless, but it could be the reason your strands are brittle, dry, and breaking! When you reapply heat to unclean hair, you’re not just restyling—you’re baking in product build-up, oils, and dirt. This creates uneven heat distribution, leading to hot spots and, ultimately, heat damage. Ever noticed smoke or a burning smell when flat ironing? That’s not just your flat iron working overtime—it’s residue burning on the surface of your ha...

📩 Thinking about coloring your hair?↴ Before any hair color service, a thorough color consultation is a must! It’s not just about picking a shade you like—it’s about ensuring the health of your hair, achieving the best results, and setting realistic expectations. During a consultation, I assess your hair history, current condition, porosity, and undertones to determine what’s possible and what will work best for you. Have previous color, relaxers, or keratin treatments? That matters! Your ...

📩 Conditioners DON’T Repair your Hair! ↴ Not all hair products are created equal—especially when it comes to conditioners, masks, and treatments. If you’re expecting your daily conditioner to repair damage, or your deep conditioner to fix split ends, let’s clear up the confusion! ➡️ Conditioner: Keeps hair manageable, soft, and detangled—but it’s only temporary hydration. ➡️ Deep Conditioner/Mask: Penetrates deeper for moisture or protein, strengthening the hair over time. ➡️ Protein & Bond...

📩 Did you Know ↴ Friction is one of the most overlooked causes of hair breakage, especially for those working to retain length. Everyday surfaces and habits can create friction against your hair. This friction weakens the hair cuticle, leading to split ends, tangles, and breakage that can stop you from retaining length. But here’s the good news: small changes can make a BIG difference! ➡️Switch to silk or satin pillowcases to protect your hair while you sleep, and always tie your hair u...

📩 Let’s dive in ↴ If your protein treatments leave your hair feeling dry or brittle, you might be making these mistakes: 1️⃣ Using It Incorrectly: Protein treatments vary—some need heat, others don’t.
