Signs of Hope

I’m guessing you’re picking up on a theme here.  Hope.  With more and more people receiving their COVID-19 vaccinations you can almost feel a sigh of relief.  The last year we’ve been holding our breath, doing all we can to keep ourselves safe, trying not to  jeopardize anyone else’s health, and praying we don’t mess up.  As frustrating as it’s been at times, and our patience stretched thin, we have done a very good job.  We’ve even learn a few new things about ourselves.  One thing we’ve learned is that WE can do this.  Yes, WE.  The collective whole.  The pressure relief valve is beginning to naturally release.  We must remain diligent a little while longer.  If we do, we will see this thing through to the end.   So, YES, I am very hopeful today.

++++++++++++

It seems like every month I’m looking for articles to share with you there is another “trend” for *fill in the season*.  The fun part for me, as a hairstylist, is that I learn something new from each of those new “trends”.   And for you, and you might not even know it’s happening, I pass along little bits and pieces of those “trends” to you while you’re having your hair done.

Women’s hair is “trending” short and sassy for Spring.  Whether it’s a very short bob (OK, not for everyone) or lots of texture and disconnection there’s a shift happening.  Versatility will be key.

Men’s hair, while all over the place lately (long, short and somewhere in between), still trends toward a classic fade and tapered haircut.  They are timeless, sophisticated, and versatile.  Oh yeah, they're versatile, too.

With warmer days ahead, those of you with longer hair will be wanting to get it up off your neck.  I found a great “How To” guide for a French Roll hairstyle.  The best part is the messier the twist the better.  With just a few bobby pins, a wrap and a roll (maybe a little texture spray), and you're done.
 
Round brush? Square brush? Boar bristle brush? Paddle brush?  
WHAT!?!?
I have something that will hopefully help you find the right brush for your hair type.  
I also have articles for you on physical signs you might be more stressed than you realize, finasteride and depression, and the “Rachel”.
 
As always, I am available by email, text or phone if you have any questions or concerns.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Be well. Take Hair!
