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!

Lexi was back in the salon yesterday getting her make-up done by Jermaine, she had another interview on Good Morning America. I styled her hair just the way she likes it :)

Tangled

Don't stress out your hair by ripping through your tangled trestles! Brushing vigorously through your knots will cause breakage, and your hair will loose it's shine and elasticity! To aviod this you only need three things:
1. A heavy conditioner. I recommend Absolut Repair by L'oréal. You can purchase it online or pick-up at your local Cristophe Salon.
2. A wide-tooth comb will work. For best results use the Tangle Teezer, a brush specially made for knotted hair.
3. Patience! Don't get frustrated and break your beautiful hair! Take your time, really understand that this will help keep your trestles shiny, bouncy, and touchable!

Starting with damp hair, apply conditioner to the ends of your locks, working your way up the tangles. With your comb or special Tangle Teezer, start combing your hair at the ends and gradually work your way up. This way your hair will be less likely to break and it won't be painful. Take one section at a time and keep your cool! No matter what kind of hair you have - curly, straight, wavy, highlighted, colored, relaxed - this is your beautiful hair and we want to keep it beautiful!
To Avoid Tangles--------
If you have unruly hair and it becomes tangled easily, wear one or two braids to bed. A braid will help hold your hair together overnight, and your hair will look chic and stylish when you unravel it in the morning!
It's summertime and I know you ladies are at the beach or the pool! If you plan on going swimming and are afraid of looking like a wet, tangled mess when you get out, wet your hair before you jump in that water. Wetting your hair beforehand will keep it from drying out because your hair won't soak up as much of the chlorine or saltwater! If you want to take extra precaution, apply a leave-in conditioner to your wet hair before jumping in!
Enjoy!
