Blunt Cuts

Blunt Cuts always work well with fine hair.  Its helps create a full healthy looking edge with volume.  Longer layers work well too.  Be sure the scissor is sharp to get good results.

what conditioner should you use?

If you have thick course hair, or very dry hair use a thicker creamy conditioner that contains hydrolyzed wheat protein, oils, and panthenol is good also, very healing.  If you have a thinner fine texture hair a finishing rinse which is not very thick is good.  If you have thin fine textured hair and you are very damaged a leave in conditioner with panthenol is not heavy on your hair and will help heal as well as other proteins in the ingredients.  One thing to remember unless you have extremely oily hair you should condition regularly.

Trimming your hair while growing it out

Its important to know to trim your hair while you are growing it out.  If you don't trim your ends they eventually split and break and that is how you get thin ends.  You can get a "dusting" which is a very small trim.  You will see healthy hair growth results when you condition and cut/dust regularly.  Dont be afraid to get the intitial cut to get your hair in shape to grow it out, you will see quicker results!

How often do you trim your hair

The hairdressing rule basically is trimming your hair every 6 weeks.  If you are wearing your hair in a short style most often people get it cut every 4 weeks, depending on how it grows out.  If you have a good hair cut it will grow out nicely and you benefit with a few different looks as it grows.

Flat Head

If you suffer from the flat head especially on top, there is hope to get volume.  Use a light weight moose, gel, or root lifter/volume foam - for curly hair;  using a product by Scruples called Silk Control is the answer.  Smooths friz while still giving volume.  Make sure you blow dry your hair in the opposite direction like upside down and be sure the roots get dry.  After drying the hair take horizontal 1" sections using the flat iron quickly sliding the iron at the root half way up the hair shaft to achieve some lift.  You can lightly mist a light weight hair spray through your hair first.  You can also spray you hair at the root and use a cool temp blow dryer to dry and seal the lift.  Works great :)  Looking for good products to use, look for my shopping cart coming soon at www.tropicalwaveshairsalon.com
