Transitioning from Relaxed Hair to Natural
Many woman have decided to leave the relaxers alone. Well,once you stop relaxing what comes next? How do you deal with the two textures of hair that you now have on your head, one thick and one thin.Many of you.have chosen to do the big chop aka cutting all the relaxer hair off. But for those of you that have chosen to let your relaxers grow out what are you going to do? Leave your comments and I will reply with some of the choices you have if you don't want to cut all the relaxed hair off.
Jealousy in the Salon
Walkiins or Appointments
Do you.guys prefer to have a set appointment when.you go.to the hair salon,or would you rather show up whenever you had the free time to get your hair done? Many salons are by appointment only these days because they want and like to know how there day is going.to be. I personally am appointment only at my salon and I love it. The day runs smoothly and I don't have a bunch of angry woman in the salon huffing and puffing because they have been there all day. By setting individual appointment times clients can come get their hair done and still.have time left in their day to run errands because most women go to the salon on their day off. So appointment setting can run.smoothly as long as your Stylists isnt one of those that Over books appointments.

The Keratin Glazing Blowout
The Keratin glazing blowout is best when used on all Natural hair. The products are 100% all natural and they leave the hair really silky,shiny and straight.The Keratin in the product mends and repairs any and all damage that may be present in the hair.When used to do a blowout the Keratin glazing serum and a special heat protector are applied to the hair and the hair is than either rolled on rollers and dryed under a hooded dryer,or blowdryed with a handheld dryer. Once the hair is dryed it it than flatironed to seal the products into the hair,leaving the hair really silky,shiny and really really straight.
Hair Growth Drops
These drop aid in hair growth retardation. They energize the hair bulb allowing air and oxygen to enter which in return promotes new hair to grow.The drops can also thicken hair where hair may be thinning or balding.
Scalp disorders at the hair salon
When a client walks into a salon all stylists need to check their hair and scalps for any abnormal disorders on their head. If something is present like a fungus,open sore ,bugs etc.... The stylists should calmly and discretely tell the client that they cannot get their hair done because of a scalp condition and that they should seek medical attention immediately so a Doctor can determine what's going on. As cosmetologists we encounter many different things on a daily basis since we are working with the public and there hair.So to protect ourselves and our clients We Must take the time to clean,sanitize and analyze while we are at or in the salon.

Co Washing
Ladies and gentleman conditioner Does Not clean your hair and scalp. The purpose of conditioner is to soften and detangle.the hair. Unless the Conditioner states that it is a cleansing condition it is not cleaning your hair. In my experience I have noticed that most women that co wash have a terrible case of product buildup and the hair and scalp is really really dry. So with that being said would you use lotion to clean your body, No you would not you would use soap right. Well the same applies for your hair your scalp is still part of your skin and you need to clean it with shampoo to get it clean
Garlic Shampoo
Aloft Hotel
For my 1 year anniversary my husband and I stayed at the Aloft Hotel in Charleston S.C. The hotel was really nice,it had a bar and a lounge area downstairs in the lobby. It had a indoor pool and a exercise room.The rooms were nice but they were a little small for my taste
