Long Layers dried with Tousle Sea Salt Spray

Josephine ~

Too gorgeous to just pick one picture so here’s 4 of them to show you how cute she looked after we gave her this loose, casual, foxy effortless layered hair.

Cut with the razor to create wispy soft ends which help to bring out movement and waves. We hand styled the hair by twisting and squeezing the hair and using a spritz or two of Tousle Sea salt Spray while wet and adding more when hair is dry.

Tousle – Fragrance Free Surf Spray

Tousle Sea Salt Spray ~

This lightweight surf spray has enough hold to give hair a tousled beachy look but soft enough to allow the hair to move.

Tousle has been recommended by The Medical Medium (Anthony Williams), so need we say more!

ROSA ~

Gorgeous Rosa after Full did the color and I cut her hair.

I gave her long natural basic layers using a razor and although I don’t normally used heated irons after the haircut, I wanted to play around with waves. Used an oval iron with massive sections and then brushed out the waves afterwards.

Styled with PLUMP Volumizer and TOUSLE Sea Salt Spray to achieve this look.

RENOVO Biotin Hairline Enhancer

 

Its been a while since I’ve shown you some ‘Renovo Biotin Hairline Enhancer’ results, so let’s back to what this exciting product can do! https://jujuchan.com/renovo/

It’s been more difficult for me to monitor clients results closely since the pandemic as I don’t get to see people on a regular schedule.
So instead of my usual 1, 2 and 3 month results, these pics of my client shows the results of both sides of the hairline over a course of a year.
Hairlines thin out and this can happen to any of us for a number of reasons – age, health, stress and heritage. These factors all affect how the hairline and hair reacts. We can try to remedy this by de-stressing our lives OR taking vitamins, but in reality, we can only do so much to help.
I created Renovo because my own hairline on one side started receding and thinning. I wanted something topical that could be applied directly to the problem area. From my own results and all the results that I have shown you in my feed, you can see that most (80%) of women have seen a significant change in the density.
Some will find it hard to see the progress and may even think its not working on them, this is why its so important to take ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures, only when you compare the area 3 to 6 months later will you see how well nourished and full your hairline has become.
Can be used along with Biotin supplements.
All my non professional pictures are taken my me and are untouched and show real people with real results.

Different Types of Layers…

Have you ever wondered what type of layers to ask for when you go to the hairdressers? Here are some ideas and facts to think about before you decide.
There are not very many combinations to think about when talking about layers. There are afew variation of things like – thickness, length, fringe, and messiness. These range from long heavy layers, medium length layers with heavy bottom, lighter short layers with wispy edges, rocker edgy very short layers with wispy ends or ultra funky disconnected layers.

Each one can then be combined with either a long fringe, sweepy fringe, blunt, soft, shorter fringe, or even chunky funky very short fringe.
From there you would need to decide whether to have blunter ends (cut with scissors) or wispy ends (cut with a razor) From these few options you can safely decide which one is more suitable for your needs. Finish with great styling products, like my sea salt spray Tousle – for that messy beach look

Long Heavy layers (as seen on Angelina above)– this one is good for people who like their hair to look abit neater, the heavier layers are good for keeping waves weighed down, therefore the blow dry stays longer and hair stays in place longer.

This one is also showing long layers but done on shorter hair but again notice how the hair is neater looking because the weight of the layers weigh the hair down. Both were cut with scissors.

On Jocelyn (above) the layers are taken shorter but still quite controlled and heavy, still cut with scissors but this time the layers are chopped into abit to show more wispiness towards the ends. Jocelyn’s layers were combined with a longer side swept fringe. Use Bounce curl cream for hair with any type of wavy or curl movement.

Here we have a combination of a long fringe and short layers, cut with the razor to bring out the waves as much as possible, this is ideal for people who prefer their hair to look messier, hence all the weight taken out and the wispy edges.

Lastly, here’s Livia cut by Joni, with her razored short rocker layers, hair is made more extreme by taking the top layers very short, this is for the ones who love alot of texture and enjoy their hair standing out more from the crowd.
So hopefully, armed with these facts and ideas you will be able to go into a salon and describe your dream layers more.

5 Rules to know before getting Hair Extensions by Mariam Kathet

5 Rules To Know Before You Get Hair Extensions

At this point, we’ve all probably thought about hair extensions. Full, shiny, glorious locks, cascading down our backs and over our shoulders. The kind of hair that you are born with— or the kind of hair you can get by putting in hair extensions. Hair extensions have been around forever and is by no means a new or trendy fashion accessory. They likely are not going out of style anytime soon, so you can feel good about buying in on this trend.

If you’ve never done extensions before, there are 5 rules you must know, and be ready to follow, before you get hair extensions.

Hair Extension #1: Consider Your Lifestyle

When you decide to get hair extensions, there are different kinds to choose from:

  • Clip-in hair extensions— put in and take out yourself every time you wear them
  • Bonded extensions—attached by a stylist using heat or other means for a more permanent hair extension
  • Weaves (or sewn in extensions)— your own hair is braided up and then the hair extensions are sewn in
  • Tape in extensions— a medical-grade double-sided tape adheres the extensions directly onto your hair.

Each kind of extension has different maintenance needs, costs, life spans, and looks. So what does this mean for your lifestyle?

Clip in hair extensions are put in and taken out daily. If you like to wear your hair up, don’t want to mess with styling your hair every day, or work out a great deal, clip in hair extensions might be for you. Bonded, weave, or tape in, are all put in and taken out by a stylist and last in measurements of weeks, not just the day. These kinds of hair extensions are best if you have a look you want for longer, and can style your hair almost daily.

Hair extension Rule #2: Quality is Queen

There are all different types of hair extensions in every price range you can imagine. You might be very tempted by the cheaper products that are on the market. Unfortunately, this just isn’t going to give you the gorgeous flowing locks you’re seeking. Synthetic hair is cheaper, but it is often very glossy and won’t naturally blend well with your hair.

Remy hair is the best kind of hair; all of the strands are facing the same way, from root to tip, therefore it tangles less and lasts longer. Virgin hair means it has never been treated with any chemicals, also making it less prone to tangles and increasing its lifespan.

Though Virgin Remy hair is more expensive, it is worth it. Not only will you get the look you want to achieve, but it will outlast any other type of hair.

Hair Extension Rule #3: Maintenance

If you decide to get bonded, weaved, or taped hair extensions you’ll not only have the expense of buying the wefts (what the different pieces of hair are called), but you’ll also have a stylist put them in and take them out.

It is important that you go to a stylist who is trained and experienced in putting hair extensions in, cutting and coloring them, as well as touching them up after so many weeks. It is not advisable that when your hair extensions start to grow out to take them out yourself. If you do not have a professional do it you risk damaging your hair.

Bonded hair extensions last three to five months, weave and taped-in hair extensions last six to eight weeks. For the latter two, you will have to see your stylist at the end to get the hair extensions reapplied, but you can probably reuse the same extensions. Bonded hair extensions can also sometimes be reusable. Depending on the type of tape, bonding, or weave, you may have to see your stylist every three to four weeks for a touch-up.

Hair Extension Rule #4: Products Are Important

You will absolutely have to use specific products, and they’re probably not products you are already using. Hair extensions must be washed with sulfate-free, non-stripping shampoo. It is also advisable to use extra moisturizing conditioner to keep your hair extensions looking natural.

Using other hair products, like hair masks or leave-in conditioning sprays, is also a good idea. Make sure you ask your stylist for advice on what products to use as well as checking to see if your specific hair extensions have specific products that must be used or avoided.

The brush you use can be important, too. You must be very careful to keep your hair extensions tangle free. Wet brushes can be very helpful because they won’t tug on your hair extensions to pull the tangles out.

Hair Extension Rule #5: Commitment

The golden rule for hair extensions is commitment. If you think you are not going to be able to give your hair the required amount of time necessary to take care of your hair extensions, it’s smart to start with clip-in hair extensions.

Clip-in hair extensions also need to be cared for, but not quite as much as the other varieties. You only need to wash them every 6-8 wears. You do not wash them while you are wearing them, so you only need special shampoo and conditioner for the clip in hair extensions, not for everyday use.

If you think you are ready for bonded or weave hair extensions, realize that you will not be able to slack off at any time on your hair routines. You’ll need to wash and dry your hair regularly, never going to bed with a wet head. You also need to commit to styling your hair every day, as most extensions don’t allow for throwing your hair up in a ponytail without them being noticeable.

Now that you know the most important rules to hair extensions, do you think you’re ready to take the plunge? Will it be clip ins, or are you ready for bonded hair extensions? The best thing you can do before you decide to get hair extensions is research and compare. Don’t be afraid to ask for help!

Moody Blues by Kieran Tudor

Moody Blues Collection extract taken from Behind The Chair:

‘Forget about rigidity, structure, formalism and order. Here we have a slouchy, chic, mix-and-match vibe. Somehow still proper, but with huge dollops of innovation and a fresh take on the standard beehive, blunt bob, shag and long layers. All doused in the dusky light of a midwinter afternoon – that time of exquisite anticipation between day and night.’
