As the Chair Turns - Summer (June) 2019

Is your hair ready for summer?   For festival season?  For vacation?

Yes?
No?

Well, I have help for you.  

Whether you’re going on vacation, a cruise, a stay-cation, attending a festival, a hike, or simply gardening in your back yard your hair needs extra attention in the summer.  I have a couple articles to help your hair survive festival season.  I also have links to articles I’ve shared in the past with great information on what you should be doing to protecting your hair from the elements of summer.

June is PRIDE month.  This June is the 50th Year Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.   KQED has quite a line up of programs to celebrate LGBTQ+ Heritage Month.  Check out the program listings in “Coming Soon to a Theater Near You”.    

We’ve come a long way since Stonewall but still have a long way to go.  LGBTQ individuals are constantly under attack here in the United States and throughout the rest of the world.  Our LGBTQ youth are having an especially difficult time.   The “Episode” I have you this month is an interview with The Trevor Project.   

The podcast I’m sharing this month, Homo Sapiens, is one of the most intelligent, informative, and fun LGBTQ podcasts I’ve listened to in a very long time.  They like to think of theirselves as Radio 4’s ‘Woman’s Hour’ for an LGBTQ+ audience.  Take a look at their episode list.  LGTBQ or not, you may want to subscribe.

Have you wonder what the “IT” haircut is for this summer?   Wonder no more.  It’s the Bob.  Worn sleek or wavy, angled or blunt, this summer’s “IT” style is trending precisely because it’s so damn versatile.

Hair-Coloring terms?   What do they all mean?   I found a great little guide of hair-coloring terms your stylist (that’s me) wants you to know.  Not only will you understand the gibberish coming out of my mouth but you’ll be better equipped when we have that consultation about your next color service.   

You may have heard about micellar-water - dirt grabbing cleansers - in your skincare products.   It’s now in some shampoos.  It’s like a magnet for dirt and more gentle than clarifying shampoos.  I have a couple articles that will hopefully answer some of your questions.  

The return of the Perm?   Yes, back.  

Don’t forget DAD.  Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16th.   Please don’t buy him another tie.  

Take a browse through this month’s “Summer” newsletter for all of the above and more.

Enjoy!
