As the Chair Turns - April 2018

Spring is in the hair.
​
I noticed something trending with women's hair at the beginning of the year, shorter hair.  It was a new year and women were ready for a new look.   With warmer months ahead, women’s hair continues to trend toward shorter, more playful cuts and styles.   I have articles for you on spring break style ideas, haircuts you'll be seeing more this spring, and even a how-to on a “flash” from the past hairstyle.  

You may have also noticed men are starting to grow out their “barbered” haircuts,  think the collar-brushing locks of Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in All The Presidents’ Men and Chris Hemsworth in Thor.   This “puffier” trend started in Europe a while ago and is beginning to get some “length” here across the pond.   With men’s hairstyles trending longer, a crisp, clean undercut is still a very popular style thanks to Peaky Blinders.  

Have you wondered why some have curly hair and others of us do not?   Turns out the answer might be in the wool of sheep.    And what about conditioner?   What is it exactly?   I stumbled across a great NatGeo video explaining the chemistry of conditioner.    

Bad hair habits.   We all have them.   It doesn’t take very long to start a bad one.   It takes even longer to unlearn a bad habit.   So, it’s understandable that it takes a little effort to start and continue a good new routine.   I found a nice article about some of the bad habits you’re doing that are wreaking your hair.    

Healthy hair is an inside job.  Not only is a healthy diet important, but so is a healthy scalp.   I have an article for you with the best oils for maintaining a healthy scalp for healthy hair and hair growth. 
 
Oh, and this happened...

As always, thank you for taking the time to look through this months As the Chair Turns.
