Daily Washing? Not So Healthy

Let's talk about washing our hair. I've found that most of us in the hair industry have been spreading the word to non-black clients, "You need to wash your hair daily." And I've found hairstylists who have dry bleached hair who still think they need to wash their hair daily, too. I also know in 2011 there are a lot of us, "hairstylists," who don't clarify our hair. Well, this alone would make you want to wash daily just to get rid of some of the build-up that you put on it day after day, and with regular ph-balanced moisturizer and shampoo, you would never get your hair truly clean. Well, let's get rid of this misconception and start giving our hair a break! Let's give it a break from water daily, which just dries the hair out. A break from blow drying daily, which also dries the hair out, and last but not least, flat ironing and curling, which burns the hair OFF. Let's just keep it real, guys, you are only doing what's been told to you for years in your households and from your stylist, who might be in a BOX on this. Let's talk: Do you wash your hair everyday? What texture hair do you have? How much coloring? Share with us your hair story, we'd love to know!! After all, "Hair is Hair" and if it is time to come out the BOX, clients and stylists, then make the change. I promise you, you'll wish you would have sooner. -"Hair Doc"

Product Knowledge

Professional hair care products, the very ones your hair stylist uses on your hair in the salon, aren’t just for the hair care professional’s use. The pride we take in educating and sharing our knowledge with our clients is not limited to the techniques we use during your appointment. The products we use are part of that information sharing, and we gladly teach our clients how to apply the products to their hair for at-home care. Did you know these professional products are available for purchase? When you get compliments on your hair’s texture, cut, body, sheen or finish, why not share the product information with family and friends? Those who are intrigued by your hair and would like to experience the types of products and services we provide can then get the benefits that you currently enjoy. And they’ll thank you for the generosity. And so will we!

It's Not a Black Thing, It's a Hair Thing

To professonal hair stylists and students: Have you consciously chosen to work ( currently working) in an all-white, all-black, all-asian etc. salon, or a salon whose environment reflects solely your particular ethnicity, race and/or culture? Are all your clients a reflection of your own ethnicity/race? Are you afraid to engage and cultivate a multicultural clientele? I'd love to hear your story and your reasoning if you're willing to share. Being a product of our environment or upbringing does not have to pigeon-hole and limit our capacity to broaden our perspectives. People truly are people, just as "hair is hair," no matter whose head it rests on. What you've experienced can be a timely and valuable lesson for someone else. -"Hair Doc"
