12/14/2016 Hair Loss Isn’t Just a Guy ThingWhether it’s short- or long-term, women lose hair the same way men do. It might thin all over, or your center part could get wider and wider. You might even get a bald spot at the crown of your head.
Women's Hair Loss: Thinning Hair Causes and Solutions (Slideshow) A good quality pair of hair clippers will not only save you a lot of money and time, they will also last you many years if you look after them properly.
If your clippers are in frequent use, you really need to ensure they are in good working order. Some basic care and maintenance every now and again will keep your clippers performing to their best. Clipper Care and Maintenance 101 Save a lot of time and money by taking care of your clipper. According to Clipper Guy Ivan Zoot for Andis, many clipper problems arise because of insufficient lubrication and not using enough oil between uses. If you don't have a regular clipper maintenance routine, start today: ADJUSTMENT: Pick up your clipper, turn it sideways and check it. The blades should be either parallel with the cutter blade or set slightly back. If you own a clipper you have to own a screwdriver! Loosen the two screws on the back of the blade, wiggle the blade to adjust it as necessary and tighten the screws. Walk the screws all the way down. GIVE YOUR BLADE A GOOD OLD BRUSH: Most clipper sets come with their own small clipper brush and cleaning kit. However, these brushes are just too small. Use an old, hard toothbrush to really get in among the ‘nooks and crannies’. With the clipper off, brush off the blade. Brush off any loose or accumulated hairs that are between the blade. Having hair stuck between the blades acts like sand or gravel, which can dull your blade quickly. 5 POINT OILING: This is paramount to the care and maintenance of your clipper blade. After adjusting and brushing, apply three drops of oil on the teeth, and one drop on each inside corner of the moving blade. Let the clipper run the oil through the blade. Wipe up any oil around the blade. You should NOT SEE any extra oil, because too much oil can attract hair, dust and dirt, which will therefore gunk up the blade. You are ready to cut! HOT BLADE: If your blade gets too hot, spray it with Cool Care Clipper Spray. It instantly drops the temperature of the blade. It’s also a good cleaner, rust inhibitor and a light lubricant (doesn’t take the place of oil) and it’s a broad spectrum disinfectant. 12/12/2016 0 Comments Trend Alert: Tiger Eye Hair ColorWhat is the Tiger Eye Hair Color Trend and Why You Will Love it
by Alison Alhamed Ok, it’s official. The tiger eye hair color trend is now a thing. Yes, sure, maybe it was always a thing. But thanks to social media, it now has a name and is the newest buzzword in the sombre, ombre, ecaille, babylight, bronde, ombre, balayombre colorist vocab list. "Every fall/winter there is a mad dash to the salon for deeper, darker tones for hair color and toning down end of season summer highlights and ombres," says Dilek Onur-Taylor, a NAHA-winning stylist and a creative director for The Salon By InStyle inside JCPenney. "Tiger Eye color is a fresh take on transitioning summer balayage and the cooler, lighter tones we were seeing last summer to darker, warmer, richer, multi-dimensional, shades of brown." Essentially it’s a beautiful blend of honey, caramel, mocha, gold, hazel nut, toffee and warm blondes to mimic the coloring of the gemstone. “Tiger eye hair is a darker version of ecaille,” says Larisa Love, a California-based colorist with an army of Instagram followers on her @larisadoll page. “The tones are warm and golden and the perfect way for clients to warm up their winter.” Ecaille, which made a name for itself in 2015, is french for tortoiseshell and… to be honest, is kinda hard to say. “I can’t even say that word,” laughs Shelley Gregory, a colorist at Las Vegas Square Salon, who is known for posting beautiful color work on her @shelleygregoryhair Instagram profile. “So for a client to feel comfortable in your chair and say 'I want ecaille hair color' is really intimidating. A lot of people still have a hard time saying ‘balayage,’ and that can be embarrassing to say to someone who is supposed to be an expert." And, like many things that become common vernacular (sombre, amazeballs, Brangelina, totes and obvs) if it has an easy to pronounce name, and it's fun to say, sometimes it just sticks. “Plus gemstones are totally trending right now, and most people know what a tiger eye is, so I’m not surprised it’s sticking,” Gregory says. So if a client says she wants tiger eye hair color, essentially what she’s asking for is rich, brown highlights and lowlights, with chocolate and bronze tones. “To create this technique, I would either balayage or hair paint, maybe even foil, highlights but staying away from the root for more of a grown-out technique,” Gregory says. “Once you lift it, tone it with a darker chocolate shade at the root area and melt it down into a level 8 or darker. Popping in a golden brown or blonde is pretty, too.” And the best part, Gregory says, is you can play with the tones that your client’s hair lifts to. “You’re not fighting the hair to get it to those ashier tones that were so popular this summer,” Gregory says. “So it will actually have shinier, healthier results!” (source) |
