Lo Maintenance Hair Hacks: Effortless hair for busy days
1. Start with the Right Cut
The foundation of low-maintenance hair is a cut that works with your natural texture. Whether it’s a chic bob, long layers, or a pixie cut, your stylist can create a look that requires minimal styling while still looking great. Visit us at the salon for a consultation, and we’ll help you find the perfect cut for your lifestyle.
2. Embrace Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo is a lifesaver. It absorbs excess oil, adds volume, and can extend your style for an extra day or two. Lightly spray it at your roots, let it sit for a minute, and then massage or brush it through. Pro tip: Use dry shampoo before bed to wake up with refreshed hair or use it on clean hair to absorb scalp oil before it's needed!
3. Master a Quick Style
Having a go-to style can save you lots of time. Some of our favorites include:
• The Messy Bun: Mist hair with texture spray and twist hair into a loose bun and secure with a scrunchie or pins. Pull out a few face-framing strands for a soft look.
• The Low Ponytail: Use a cc cream or gel and comb back for a sleek look. Use texture spray on the ends of the ponytail for a more undone look. This style is versatile and can take less than a minute.
• The flat-iron curl: Start with using a heat protectant. Then using a flat-iron to wave or curl hair. This technique is a way to get smoother style with some movement. Our stylists would be happy to show you how it's done!
4. Invest in Low-Maintenance Color
Opt for hair colors that grow out gracefully, like babylights, or subtle root smudging aiming for a color that's not too far off from your natural. These techniques reduce the frequency of salon visits and keep your color looking seamless as it grows.
5. Use Multi-Tasking Products
Simplify your routine with products that are multipurpose. Look for products that can help detangle, add shine, protect from heat and help your style last. We carry a range of quality product options to suit all hair types.
6. Nighttime Prep = Morning Ease
Prepare your hair before bed for a quicker morning routine. Try braiding your damp hair for heatless waves or using a silk scarf or pillowcase to reduce frizz and tangles.
7. Visit Us for a Style Refresh
When life gets busy, professional styling can save you time and effort. A blow-dry with style, conditioning treatment, or even a trim can make a huge difference. Don’t forget: We’re here to help keep your hair manageable and looking it's best.
