The Short Haircut

   The above picture is me finishing one of my clients haircuts. She went from a warm caramel with a medium haircut with a short back, but on this day we did a very short cut and she also went back to a jet black Demi-permanent hair color. We shampooed and did a deep conditioner then we molded her hair with the olive oil mousse which is my favorite foam wrap! 

   As far as the style goes we didn't do a lot of curling because she likes her hair more natural and soft, she doesn't like the soft curls at all and we flipped the front for a funky edge to the style.

   Now before I became known as the "Scissor Queen" as some of my clients call me, I went to hair school at my high school but I didn't finish because my last year we moved back to North Carolina. So I was only able to do a year of classes,when I graduated high school I took the next class available at Mitchell's Hair Academy. I didn't know too much about hair cutting so I made sure I paid close attention and I practiced at school and at home. I think that is what makes the difference between a Okay stylist and a Outstanding stylist.
When you really love what you do, you will do whatever it takes to learn what you need to know and to be the best at it. That also goes for anything in life, my motto is "If you don't try you cant be your best, If you did try then you DID your best! because most of the time when you did try you will succeed at it anyway. Be the best you can be no matter what it is! Until next time :)

NATURAL HAIR!

This is one of my favorite little clients, she is so sweet! Her name is Danielle I do her hair about every three weeks. Her hair is natural and I do a blow-out using the Mizani Thermasmooth System. The top picture is her hair after it is shampoo'd and Conditioned, the bottom Picture is after it is used with the mizani products blown out and flat-ironed.

Mizani Thermasmooth

The meaning of Mizani -Beauty,Chemistry,Balance. That is exactly what this line is. The thermasmooth line helps to keep curly/natural hair straight and protect all hair types from the heat. and It gives it a brilliant shine and straightness as if you had a relaxer, I absolutely swear by it! The mizani line started off as a conditioner which many people dont know. Thats why I love their conditioners and there styling products, they are very true to what their purpose is. If you have a hard time keeping your hair straight or need a new straightening product I really suggest that you try this product.

TIPS FOR FLAT IRONING YOUR HAIR!

   With different hair textures comes it's own problems. But for those of us who have to flat-iron our hair we know how hard it can be to also keep it healthy, here are some tips to follow when straightening.
   FINE OR DAMAGED HAIR- I would recommend not flat-ironing  more than once or twice a week and when shampooing make sure to use a deep conditioner or a hair mask once a week to make sure the hair stays hydrated
    MEDIUM TO NORMAL HAIR- I would recommend to not flat-iron more than once or twice a week and to use a thermal protectant product for example as in Mizani Therma-Smooth. I would use the whole system (shampoo,Cond. etc.) just to keep the hair balanced and it is very good on every hair texture because you dont need alot of it. If you have natural hair therma-smooth is great to help train your hair to stay straight for long periods of time. It only takes about two to three times of using the Mizani therma-smooth system to see lasting results. Also make sure to do a deep conditioner or mask when shampooing.
   CURLY HAIR- I would recommend to not flat-iron more than once or twice a week, as stated before the Mizani therma-smooth system is great for keeping hair healthy,straight and shiny. I would do smaller sections with curly hair to make sure you get hair straight evenly from root to end since curly hair tends to get drier on the ends make sure you spray the Mizani therma-smooth /shine extend on each section that you do.


These things have worked for all of my clients with all different hair textures. try these tips and see how they work for you!
