More Keratin talk

Keratin Talk Part 2
This treatment has caused many conversations lately from my blog post. This is really a break thru for our industry. Old straighteners were perm solutions combed thru and that was it. Total damage. Bio ionic is a chemical straightener that leaves a line of demarcation. The keratin is pure protein, which our hair is made of. It does not leave a line of demarcation. If you do it once, and you would like your curly hair back...guess what?? It comes back. If you love it and want it again...guess what?? The more you do it...the better is works. Everyone that has had this done....loves it. Including myself. My husband loves it because it takes half the time to get ready.. I should market this treatment to them. The starting price is $350.00. It is based on how many ounces you would use. For those of you that don't want to spend the money..I have gift certificates for the holidays available. Tell your loved ones you need a life changing experience...because I believe it is and was to many of my clients. If you see someone who would benefit from it...if they book with me, I will take $50.00 off the treatment for yourself! Now when you get this treatment, you need to use sulfate free products or else you wasted your money. Pureology is sulfate free. They also have a keratin line. People, listen up....you get what you pay for in my chair!!! THE BEST..LOVE YOU ALL good night!!O.K. I feel like I'm a car salesman here, but it really does sell itself. Be part of my referral program and you will be rewarded. It's time to turn the streets into smooth,straight silky hair! Any more question?? Leave me a comment

Hey girly-
So, I'm only asking you this, because I know you're the color bomb! :)

I tried to go dark by myself with a demi. I mixed a 5N and a 4RV (half tube) for a little red highlight and ended up with DARK purple! AHHHHHH.

I know, I know...this is why people don't do it at home. So, I had a friend that honestly, I wouldn't normally go to for my hair for help and she tried to lighten it and then put a gold to counter act the purple. It's still purple. Well, it worked slightly, but I just want the purple out and a lighter brown. What do I do?

Help your poor pathetic friends that try to color by themselves. :)

By the way, I keep up with you and your blog. Looks like you're doing great and your girls are so cute! Congrats on your fam.

Oh Stefanie.....hair is on a scale from 1-10...one being black and ten being the lightest. You mixed a very dark color that when placed on pre-lightned hair or very porous hair, it will do one of two things. 1- it will soak up the color and go darker than expected...2-it is so porous it spits the color out. you mixed a natural color with a red violet..which means purple! This is called major dollars and a color correction. Dang it...if you went somewhere it would of saved u money and hair drama mixed with a lil breakage. If you don't have bangs now, you will when your done! They need to do a soap cap, which consists of bleach and peroxide and shampoo. Then add some heat..it should lift, not even thru out the hair but it should lift. The formula would depend on the ending color. If you hair isn't dead by then, I would high light it with a peroxcide 10 volume and tone to a light caramel level 6-7. That would give the appearance of a lighter brown. End of story! Good Luck, you can always fly down to ses me..lol miss ya xoxo, bre

Static??

Hey Bre,

So I am currently experiencing something I haven't had to deal with in a while... static. What is the best way to control it? Today's high was about 42 and it is currently 39... burr. It is only October... yikes, can't imagine what the Winter will bring me.

Hugs,
Rhonda

Hola Rhonda,
Miss ya here in the 95+ degree weather...the best thing you can do for static electricity is to use a dryer sheet. The kind you would use in your dryer for your clothes. Rub it softly on top of your hair and you won't believe it!! It really works. It will also make your hair smell good. I am jealous of your cool weather, I am really tired of sweating my butt off here in sunny Florida. Try the dryer sheet and return and report for all my followers! xoxo, bre

The ANSWER to your PRAYERS!!

October is supposed to be a getting better in the hair category month...meaning NO FREAKEN humidity..however it has been the complete opposite. YUCK huge, nasty, frizzy hair! So in case you dont know I do a straightner that is a pure protein based product called Coppolla Keratin Complex. YES it is amazing, it can be done on color treated hair, in fact it even locks in the color. It is great for the hair. It takes about 2 hours to finish on a client. It speeds up the blowdrying time big time! It is perfectly straight and last from 4-6 months.. no chemicals...and gradually fades out of the hair.. doesn't leave a line of demarkantation. It is expensive, soooo save your dolla bills yo! Take a 20 out at the grocery store each time u go shopping and then you can save up enough..lol don't tell your husband I said so.. you can still curl your hair with a curling iron if u wanna, this truly is the best thing you could do to your hair. Google it, do what cha gotta do, but just know I wish I invented this product...AMAZING!! Get it done, you will be soo happy no matter where you live!

Question:
Ok so you know my hair is SUPER Thin - I have a lot of it - but still thin. I wash my hair at night and condition, towel dry and usually turn my head upside down to blow dry to give some volume,
I got some mouse the other day and use that and it helps but I never know how much to really use or if thats the best volumizer for my hair type.
Any tips?


Ok second question - can you over condition your hair? I LOVE conditioner and probably use way too much (like 2 half dollar sizes). is this bad?


gotta make an appt soon too

xoxo Hollie
To my dearest Hollie,
Even though your hair is thin it is still good hair. Anytime you blowdry the hair in the opposite direction where it lives,you will get volume, so upside down is great! Now I love mousse, however please make sure it is not sticky,heavy or has too much hold is a no go. But as for volume, I like the Big Sexy Hair Root Pump. or Pureology root lift. Spray it at the root into damp hair and then blowdry. It works great!
As for conditioner, please don't use alot. You are just wasting it. Focus on the ends of the hair shaft not the roots. Conditoner is a type of moisture that will weigh the hair down.. Love ya, bre

Kitchen Hair

I love to do hair at night.... for some reason my creative juices flow.. I'm also a night owl... not a morning person. Well, tonight I did some kitchen hair at mi casa..So you wouldn't know by the pic.. but I cut off approx. 11 inches from..........GUESS WHO? for those who know Mary Reynolds Burden.. I cut her hair off!! And I love it, why I love it,, because she has an oval face shape. Its ideal for just about anything. Long, short or even shorter... so we did an A-line modern bob.. I love it, and she does as well... it's gonna take time to get used to , but she can sure blow dry it faster. What's most important , is her husband like's it! Even though I could care less what a husband thinks...the client sure does. A husband should like what the wife likes... if your husband needs lessons or classes on this topic, my dad is great in this category! Here's some pics...beautiful Mary!!!!
