Give Your Hair New Life For The Spring

It’s hard to believe but Spring is right around the corner. In just under a month we will have longer day with more sun, warmer weather, and more than likely rain showers. With each season change, it’s always good practice to re-evaluate your hair care routine and products and see if anything needs to be changed out or a new routine added.

At Elevate our students learn and are exposed to all different types of hair and textures. Today a few of our advanced Future Professionals –  Kylie, Carleigh, Madelyn, Cameron, Nazah, Reychel and Kristie share some of their favorite things to create a new look for you in the spring.

Follow these simple steps below to bring your hair back to life from the winter!

1. Every 6 weeks schedule a haircut to help hair grow out healthy with minimal split-ends. This also helps not having to take off so much length each time with every haircut so that your hair has room to grow.
2. Use less heat on hair & try embracing your natural curl pattern.
3. When blow drying, “rough-dry” the hair until it is anywhere from 75-85 percent dry. Then proceed with round brush or blow drying brushes that are popular right now. (the heated ones). This will help to not stretch the hair too much while it is wet & in its most fragile state. Brushing when the hair is too wet will cause breakage and damage to your hair.
4. Add these products to your arsenal:

-Absolut Repair Oil: Use on damp or dry hair. Apply a dime size amount from mids to ends. Could also be used to lay down flyaways.

-Pro-Longer Treatment: Use this product in between color services or any chemical services to help fill/nourish the hair strands back to health. Can be done in the salon or at home by using the take-home retail products.

-10-in-1: This product has many benefits, such as detangling, heat protecting, leave-in treatment, color protecting and more. Use on damp hair after shampooing and before blow drying to lock in & seal all of these amazing benefits.
