Trim Your Hair

~ Joseph Kellner

Raise your hand if this scenario sounds familiar: You cut a sleek lob as the temps got cooler, and you really loved it for a minute, but now you’re ready for something new. Suddenly, you’re imagining long, flowing strands that will trail behind you in the wind on beach this summer. In other words: It’s time to grow out your hair, but can the whole process hurry up already?

By and large, the rate of growth for your hair depends on genetics, but you can expect around a quarter- to a half-inch growth per month. Giving hair a trim won’t help it to lengthen any faster per se, but doing so will save the hair from splitting and causing breakage that then translates into inches off your progress report. There’s a fine line between giving your hair a chance to grow some length and letting it go too long before that length needs to be cut off. If you get your hair cut too often during the grow-out process, you are just cutting off the new length.

I always tell my clients to come in every 12 to 16 weeks if they’re trying to grow they’re hair out, but adds a caveat to this recommendation. There are exceptions to every rule. The less stress you are putting your hair through on a daily basis, the longer you can go between trims. So, the more you bleach, color or utilize styling tools (including your blow-dryer) the more frequent your trims should become.

Your hair may not flow down to your knees by summer, but if you’re diligent (and lucky) you’ll get a few inches worth of growth by the time the season’s first flower-crown-appropriate events commence.

 

Hair Color Idea’s For This Year

~ Joseph Kellner

If there’s one thing in beauty girls are obsessed with it’s our HAIR. Everything else can go wrong, but when it’s your HAIR STYLE then you know it’s not going to be a good day. I get you! Woman want perfect hair without the effort, but did you know picking the right tones can actually make this easier? Picking the right tones can take your hair from drab to fab. So reinvent yourself with a new hair color.

Blonde Hair Tones In Natural Way.  If you were born blonde, you will know that the only color that suits you will be blonde. So, you can’t exactly be creative with your hair colors. But you can be creative with the blonde tones you work with. Bleach blonde hair is out and it’s all about warm tones rather than the Elsa icy hair. Make your blonde hair look more natural with a lot of different colors and tones running through it – so even if you’re deciding to go blonde, then this will make it look the most natural!

 

Chestnut Colors For Dark Brown Hair Color.  Ok, so if you have really dark hair you want options to change your one tone colored look into a more vibrant, fun finish. And it can be quite difficult to do as mixing colors with your dark hair can either go really well or really bad. Blend in up to three shades lighter than your actual color to create a finish that gives your hair some life and warmth.

 

Balayage Hair Coloring Techniques. Yes, they’re back! And they’re going to be just as popular next year as they were this year. Long gone are the days where we just stick to one-toned hair. Instead, we know that natural, beautiful hair is mixed with a combination of different colors. If you’re a hazel brunette this color will be perfect for you to pull off and give your hair the boost it needs.

Warm Golds And Reds For Brunettes. For light brunettes, this is a very popular hairstyle because it’s easy, stylish and trendy. But rather than blending all of these tones throughout the hair you want to do a dip-dye effect with these warmer tones towards the bottom of your hair. And whilst many people think they should dye their darker in their winter, they’re wrong. As our complexions get lighter so should our hair, which will keep you from getting too pale. Mix caramel highlights with this and you’re a winner!
