Long Hair Styling

*Two Braided Babes*

Easy way to look chic in 3 steps!
1. Split your hair in two and braid each side. Put a rubber band at the end of the braid to keep it from unraveling.
2.Pull each braid up on top of your head like a headband.
3. Take a few bobby pins to anchor it to your head!

Do-it Yourself

It's simple to get a stylish look at home with a curling iron. This look in particular will take you fifteen minutes once you get it down.

1. Heat up your curling iron. The bigger the iron, the looser your curl will be.

2. Have a big clip handy to section your hair out of the way while you curl.

3. Start in the back by clipping half of your hair up on top of your head.

4. Take a section about 2-inches apart.

5. Wrap hair around the iron- if you wrap just the ends, the curl will be softer. If you wrap up the whole section your hair will be very curly. You can wrap in either direction, if you are curling in synchronized sections it will look more organized.

6. Take it section by section- it doesn't have to be perfect, it's better messy.

7. For a more modern look, when you get to the front, curl the front layers so the curl moves away from your face.

8. After you are done, spray it with a light hair spray- I recommend Cristophe's Shaping Spray

9. Brush your hair. I prefer a boar bristle brush, the bristles are all very close together which smoothes the hair and creates a shiny wave.

10. Spray a little more hairspray for extra hold and... Voilà! A quick and easy way to have chic hair before you run out the door! Don't be afraid, just try it!

Attention! Extensions!

Helloooooooooo Nurse! Most of those sexy ladies you see in magazines with their long luscious hair and their fluffy eyelashes are for sure beautiful, but usually have some enhancers (not to mention PhotoShop...) to add sex appeal! Hair extensions are used a lot in photo shoots, runway shows, and everyday life! There are many different reasons to have hair extensions: to add length, to add fullness, or to cover a bad chop job. There are different types of extensions: clip-in, individual bonds, taped, or sewn.
First thing's first, you don't want people to notice that you have extensions. A dead give away is the color; matching the color as close as you can is key. Another dead give away is after your extension specialist installs them, they look extremely long, blunt, and like you are wearing noodles on your head. Please don't be a victim of Spaghetti Head! The way to fool everyone is to get a good haircut! I know it may sound strange to cut your hair after you just bought hair and finally have the length and fullness you've been yearning for, but it is crucial to have the extensions flow with your own hair. Keeping the length is easy, but everything else needs to flow together. Getting a nice haircut makes a world of difference. When you have a good haircut you can wear your hair air-dried, straight, curly, wavy or up in a ponytail. There is a special technique that needs to be used while cutting extensions: you cannot treat it like regular hair. Be careful of who you allow to work on your hair after you've put thousands of dollars into hair and installation. Here is a good example:

The photo below was taken today at Cristophe Salon BH. Lovely Carolyn was on her way to a photo shoot, so I curled and added some clip-in extensions to add fullness to her sexy trestles! Stay tuned for shots from Carolyn's photo shoot, they will be posted soon!!!

A Summer Saturday @ Cristophe Salon

Kayla


Kayla has naturally very, very straight hair. When she came in, her hair was down to her bellybutton with no layers. If your hair is too long, it becomes heavy and lays flat on top of your head. She told me she had not cut her hair in 2 1/2 years! I trimmed off about three inches and gave her some layers. Her hair became full of life! I was able to give her a blow out with waves because her hair was not as heavy anymore. She posted her new look on Facebook and instantly got 30 likes with 20 comments! Thanks Kayla, see you back at Cristophe Salon in 2-3 months for a trim!


Alexandra

Alex has curly hair and a lot of new hair growing in. The ends of her hair are pretty fine, until the new hair grows enough to catch up to the ends. I started by giving her a L'oreal Power Repair B treatment- instantly repairs fragile, sensitive, lifeless hair. After rinsing the treatment out, I gave her a bare minimum trim on her ends because she did not want to loose any length. I layered her hair in the front more than in the back. With curly hair, its important to not layer your hair too much other wise your ends can end up looking very thin. Layers in the front are important because it adds style and body to your curly locks. Just remember- the shorter you go, the curlier your hair will get! I gave her a sleek, smooth blow out with movement on her ends! She called me the next day to tell me how smooth and strong her hair feels! Thank you Alex, I want to see you every 6 weeks at Cristophe Salon for a hair treatment and a bare minimum trim to get those locks strong and keeping your look fresh!
