Dirty Dirt

Is your flat iron dirty?  With build up from products?  If it is, it is probably not performing as well as it has in the past. Due to the heat not being able to break though that grime.  YUCK!

What I have found that works is this concoction of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.
1. Mix the peroxide in with the baking soda till you form a paste like substance.  
2.  Then you will simply take the paste and rub it on to the build up on the flat iron.  (This may take a bit of elbow grease)

3.  Now when you have removed all of the build up, take a damp rag and wipe of any residue from the concoction. 

4.  Dry it off with a dry towel. 

Vah-lah!  You have a "like new clean flat iron!"  I hope I have help to get some more life out of this great tool for you! 

Blow OUT!

The Brazilian Blowout!  This has got to be my most favorite in salon treatment of my time.  As a stylist I have several clients that struggle with frizzy hair.  In addition, I have incredibly frizzy hair.  I have used this treatment myself.  It is incredible!  It recently has won the stylist choice award and... has been featured in articles around the world.  It can take unmanageable frizzy hair and make it healthy while still maintaining the volume and hold that your hair always had and providing shine! 

Why is this treatment different form other smoothing treatments on the market you say??

They are the ONLY Professional Smoothing Treatment
that actually improves the health of the hair.
No Damage!

Entire in-salon treatment is completed in just 90 minutes! (for average lenght/thickness hair)

No down time! The minute you leave the salon, you can wash and air dry your hair, and it will be smooth, frizz-free and radiant!

Results last up to 12 weeks.

Leaves hair smooth, shiny, and frizz-free!

What is also nice is unlike other straightening products you do not have a grow out.  It just slowly looses its strength..  So no unsightly frizzy "roots".. 

If you are someone who would benefit form this service I encourage you to check out their website http://www.brazilianblowout.com  and contact a certified  Brazilian Blowout stylist like myself at, Bloom Studio Salon.  Or one in your area! 

Doing it Up, Style!

This weekend was full of weddings for me!  Which is always FUN!  My husband's cousin got hitched so, we attended that wedding. In addition to doing hair for a wedding at the salon...

Weddings are our time as adults to get all prettied up go out with our special someone.  But, always remember if you are not the Bride don't ever try to out do her and defiantly don't duplicate her hairstyle.  I know even as a brides maid you want to look gorgeous.  Take a step back because truly no one is really looking at you.  All eyes are on her.  She has spent months or sometimes years anticipating the way she will look, extra time and money practicing it.  Let her shine.

Therefore, lets learn some DIY wedding/party hair!  This is where that teasing blog I did will come into handy and also products I always tell you about that are so important.

Check out this link... martha stewart weddings  this is a  really good resource.  There is step by step and pictures.  Also some beauty tip too... never can get too many of them!

 If your hair is shorter and you are unable to achieve these looks at home.  Get a good accessory!  like a head band or broach and pin it into the side of your hair.
