Curly Hair Care
Are you one of the countless, curly-haired girls that always wished she had straight hair? While straightening one’s naturally wavy hair can be beautiful, thanks to modern technology (or better hair products, at least), you can now have curls that cater to you, instead of the other way around.
Here are some tips for every Curly Sue out there:
- Don’t wash your locks too often. Try skipping a day to avoid stripping your hair of its natural oils.
- If you can, run cold water over hair at the end of your shower to seal hair cuticles.
- Gently pat your hair dry with a towel. Aggressive friction against your wet hair increases frizziness.
- Use a wide-toothed comb to easily comb out tangles.
- Apply a light leave in conditioner to maintain soft waves and curls. Try Hamadi Shea Leave In, which provides light, non-sticky moisture for your hair.

From Fine to Curly: Hair Care Tips for Everybody
Stuck in a hair rut and don't know what to do? No matter what your hair type, try one of these tips to see what works for you.
- Give your hair an ‘off’ day, or a few of them, every week. Let your hair have a break from any heat (i.e.: blow dryers, curling irons or flat irons) and go au natural.
- Don’t shampoo every day. Shampooing your hair daily washes away your natural oils that condition your hair. If you are feeling greasy, use a dry shampoo like Cake Beauty Satin Sugar Hair and Body Refreshing Powder. Just sprinkle the powder onto roots and massage in. This will buy you an extra day or two.
- Give your scalp a facial, just as you would scrub, moisturize and mask your face every month. Brush your scalp with a soft bristled brush to revitalize scalp, then shampoo as normal and in lieu of your normal conditioner, use a hair mask like Hamadi Shea Hair Mask which will repair and replenish strands.
- Pick a product and stick with it. Contrary to popular belief, your hair does not ‘get used to’ products. Perhaps instead, you have product build up and are in need of a clarifying treatment. Try a clarifying shampoo like Suki Clean Balance Shampoo which will effectively, yet gently cleanse product build up from your hair.

Get the Perfect ‘Do
Seeing a picture in a magazine often sparks something inside women to drastically change their current hairstyle. Since you think that Reese Witherspoon’s current ‘do will look perfect on you, you run to the salon and tell the stylist, "I want bangs, now!” Although you might come out of the salon with the perfect hair, re-creating the look at home can prove to be difficult. This is where professional hair care products come into play.
With the proper products and practice, you can re-create almost any style you want. Here are some tips to create great hair styles:
- For a textured look use a spray like John Masters Organic Sea Mist Sea Salt Spray with Lavender. Just spray into damp hair and scrunch. Air dry for the most natural results.
- If you want a style with light hold, use a styling cream like Stephen Knoll Hydro Repair Mist Styling Lotion in your hair before a blow out. This will smooth down your hair, leaving it soft and shiny but not sticky.
- Short hair styles can benefit from using a wax like Stephen Knoll Clay Wax Matte Styling Clay. Wax creates a chunky, funky look with great texture. This product's matte finish and strong hold helps hair stand out and creates spiky looks. Just rub in all over dry hair and spike pieces out with your fingers.
No matter what style you are looking for, there is a professional hair care product to create it.

Long Locks: How to Care for Hair Extensions
Getting long, luscious locks is on the top of women’s to-do lists everywhere and extensions are the easiest and fastest way to get there. Although getting extensions may be easy, hair extension care is a whole other ball game.
Taking care of extensions requires time and effort that doesn’t normally go into taking care of your natural strands.
- Shampoos: It’s best to pick a shampoo that is free of sulfates like Stephen Knoll Deep Moisture Shampoo. It is not only sulfate-free but rich and moisturizing as well, which is also very important when caring for extensions.
- Conditioner: Conditioning your extensions regularly is one of the most important steps in caring for them. Try John Masters Organic Lavender & Avocado Intensive Conditioner to keep those long locks in tip-top shape.
- Avoid using too much product when styling the extensions.
- Dry hair naturally and then run a flat iron over strands to make them look smooth and silky.
- You can finish with a swipe of shine serum like John Masters Organic Dry Hair Nourishment and Defrizzer to make hair appear glossy.
When it comes to extensions, putting in the extra care will help them looking as fabulous as the day you got them.
