Secrets of Natural Hair

Through many consultations, House of Hair Salon & Spa has found that the most consistent needs of people with natural hair are healthy, shiny hair and styling options.

We have narrowed down the best kept secrets to achieve this in three (3) steps:

1)      The deep treatment and nourishment of the hair-: Natural hair requires a lot of moisture. Parched hair loses its softness and shine and is more prone to breakage and split ends. A salon professional can tailor a Deep Treatment to suit your particular needs to nurse your strands back to health and keep hair strong and help  retain the moisture it needs to stay beautiful.

2)     The Hair trim -:

The benefits of hair trimming are to remove split ends and hair damage. These split ends if not trimmed off will travel up the shaft of the hair and cause hair breakage. This will make hair appear to grow faster because the hair will break less and thus grow longer and healthier in a shorter amount of time. You should refrain from a DIY trim because many times you are unable to see all the ends that need to be trimmed. You also do not know the resulting angle of your cut. The eyes of a trained professional will ensure that all split ends are trimmed and that you have an evenly styled trim.

3)      Styling Options -:

There are a variety of styling options for natural hair. If you love a polished curl pattern, try a Rodset, Two Strand twist or Flat Twist.  A hairstylist will use a variety of Rods, and technics to create a looser or tighter curled style that is easier to maintain a polished look, and provide styling flexibility. Another great option is Crochet Weave or Braids, This option allows you to protect your hair by having it cornrowed and then crocheting the desired hair into it, which generally takes 1 ½ hours.

Dry Skin and Hair in the Dry Air

In the mid-summer heat it is critical that you properly moisturize your hair. The humid air depletes the hair of nourishment, makes it frizzy, and sometimes unmanageable.  While the vitamin D from the sun provides necessary proteins to the hair to keep it alive and thriving, its UV rays counteract the benefits by drying out the hair. Use a product like Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Veil to offset the sun’s negative effects.

Make sure to condition your hair regularly and even invest in a deep treatment. It is suggested that you hold off on shampooing, and only do so every 2-3 days to allow your natural oils to nurture your tresses. Get regular trims to keep those split ends at bay thereby increasing your hair’s vitality. Come on in to House of Hair Salon and Spa for a Haircut, Shampoo, and Style with Optional Deep Condition for up to 55% off. Visit www.houseofhair.com for details.

Summer is the time for being outdoors, but before you jump into the pool apply a conditioning cream or treatment oil and protect your head from the drying effects of chlorine by putting on a cap. Aveda Sun Care Hair and Body Cleanser is great for removing chlorine, salt, and product build-up.

 The muggy heat sucks hydration from the skin just as though it does from the hair. In order to keep a fresh and healthy complexion, make sure to make regular trips in to House of Hair Salon and Spa for when that stubborn acne arises due to clogged pores from being in the stuffy open air or visit www.houseofhair.com  for the above mentioned products, tips, and specials such as 15% off on all online bookings.

Why is adequate H20 consumption necessary before a massage?

Why is adequate H2O consumption necessary before a massage?

It's a good question, which may solve some of your issues before you ever enter the spa. It's recommended that we get 8 glasses of water a day, which helps to nourish are bones, muscles, and skin.

 Since the skeleton is made up of more than 70% water, which lubricates the joints and muscles, one's lack of water intake may be the reason for the tense. 

Just think of yourself as the tin man or woman, and what happened to him without oil to to relieve the friction between the joints of his metal frame. That is essentially what happens to you when you don't get enough water, so be wiry and make sure to inform your masseuse before each appointment, so they know what they are in for as to keep everybody safe from liability and harm.

Hair & Scalp Disorders   Dry Itchy Scalp & Dandruff

This is the most common disease of the scalp. Dandruff consists of small, white scales that usually appear on the scalp. Severe cases of dandruff produce scabbing, itching, swelling and redness. It affects children as young as 6 and adults up to age 75. Medicated shampoos are helpful, but must be followed by a moisturizing shampoo. A biweekly shampoo and hot oil treatment is recommended.

The possible causes of dandruff include:

1.     Malfunction of oil glands
2.     Scalp bacteria
3.     A tight, dry scalp
4.     Imbalance of hormones

Deep treatment every two weeks is recommend .
Shampoo hair  with a clarifying shampoo or a shampoo formulated for dry scalp followed by a moisturizing 
shampoo.

The distinct difference between Hair loss and Hair breakage:

Hair, breakage, loss and thinning. 

The distinct difference between Hair loss and Hair breakage:

1. Hair Breakage is when the hair fractures on the ends or at any point throughout the length of the hair strand. Split Ends is among the most common cause of hair breakage and will result when the tip of the hair shaft is broken at the cortex. When the cortex is exposed, it becomes dry and the end begins to fray or split, leaving the hair with a dull, ragged appearance, usually self-inflicted which is the result of improper hair care.

2. Hair Loss is when the hair comes out completely from the root of the follicle. Most cases of hair loss are hormonal, nutritional or emotionally related. Conditioning, treatment and cutting of portions of damaged hair are among the most beneficial alternatives to restoring damaged hair.House of Hair Salon & Spa

What You Need to Know About The Hottest New Hair Trend - Crochet Extensions!

crochet hair extensions, just as the name implies, are actually crocheted into your existing hair. These hair extensions are attached directly onto cornrowed hair using a latch hook crocheting tool. This latch and hook technique has been used in some parts of the hair community for the last decade or so, but only recently has it become truly refined. The tools used, the innovative techniques, and the methods of styling have come a long way. Today's crochet hair extensions are the best they've ever been, and they have all of the following advantages. 

The Time for Installation 

Crochet hair extensions take less than an hour and a half to install when they are done by a professional stylist. This can considerably shorten the time spent in the styling chair. Standard sew-in braids, box style braids, and twist braids all take far longer to install.

The Cost of the Extensions      

The cost of crochet hair extensions is quite reasonable, especially considering the depth and quality of the technique. The average cost for crochet hair extensions goes from  $120-$150, depending upon the style.

The Longevity of the Extensions

Crochet hair extensions last for four to six weeks. They are very low maintenance and don't require constant tightening or touch-ups during that time. 

The Realistic Look of the Hair

     Crochet extensions are amazingly realistic looking. In fact, women with this style of extension are often asked if they have been growing their natural hair for their whole life. The variety of hair can range from tight curls to a loose curly look, dreadlocks, double strand or even braided hair depending on the look you want.

The Easy Styling

Crochet extensions are remarkably easy to style - in fact, they are simply "shake and go" in most cases. 

The Minimal Impact on the Scalp

Crochet hair extensions put less stress on your scalp than other types of hair extensions do. With a crochet hair extension, the synthetic hair is simply looped and fastened onto the hair that's already there. There is no tugging or pressure. 

At the House of Hair, we are here to help you achieve the beautiful head of hair you've been dreaming about. Our specialties are haircuts, hair coloring, hair extensions including crochet hair extensions, massages, and facials. Visit our website  www.houseofhair.com today to find out more!
