The perfect blowout can be created with three easy steps: Prep, Prime, and Finish. Here are some of Cheryl's tips and recommended products for your blowout! The perfect blow out starts with choosing the proper shampoo and conditioner for your haircare needs. Work the shampoo from scalp to ends, going in a downward motion. You should massage your scalp thoroughly and run your fingers through the ends of your hair to avoid tangling and damage. PREP After shampooing and conditioning, it is time to prep the hair. One of my favorite products to prep hair with is Kevin Murphy Staying Alive. Staying Alive is a leave-in conditioner that is great for detangling, moisturizing, and static control. Spray this product into your wet hair. PRIME After prepping the hair, I like to prime it with Kevin Murphy Anti Gravity before styling. It is an oil-free volumizer. It sets the hair before finish work. Apply to damp hair before blowdrying. It will leave your hair feeling fresh and full without feeling any product in your hair. Depending on your hair length and thickness, apply a small amount of product - about the size of a dime to the size of a nickel. FINISH I recommend using Kevin Murphy Hair Resort Spray after blow drying the hair for a beachy finish. You can curl some pieces of your hair and spray this product to create loose curls. Kevin Murphy Doo Over is the last product I use to create the perfect blow out. It is a finishing spray that give the hair texture and hold without a sticky feel. Creating the perfect blow out is as easy as Prime, Prep, and Finish with the right products! All of the products mentioned work great for all hair types #lelegancesalon #lovekevinmurphy #kevinmurphy

We've asked our stylists for their favorite quick style tips. Try and incorporate them into your daily hair routine! Before using a hot tool, be sure that your hair is 100% dry Use a Thermal Protector Spray on your hair when using a hot tool Use a Texture Spray like Kevin Murphy Hair Resort on dry hair before using a curling iron to create a beach look When using hair oil, apply it mid-shaft to end so your hair does not get weighed down Combine products! Use a serum on the ends of your hair to polish your look and use a root spray such as Eudora Boost for a volumized crown For a natural looking curly style, use a microfiber towel or t-shirt to get the moisture out of your hair without roughing up the cuticle. After, let your hair air dry or diffuse. When blow drying your hair, make sure the dryer is pointing down on the hair to prevent frizz Don’t go to bed with wet hair! This can cause mold on your scalp. See our blog post about blow drying your hair here To create texture, use Kevin Murphy Free Hold on either wet or dry hair If your hair is fine and stressed, use Kevin Murphy Full Again for quick volume with a brush-able feel We hope you enjoyed these tips!

Boxed color from the drug store may seem like a quick and easy way to achieve a look you want. A common mistake that is made by clients looking for an inexpensive way to color their hair is by using boxed color. The biggest issue with boxed color is the unpredictable results. Boxed color is said to alter a wide range of hair types and shades without a guarantee. There have been many cases where clients have come in and the integrity of their hair has been completely damaged because of boxed color. To maintain the integrity of your hair, it is best to have it professionally colored in a salon. Color formulas are personalized for each client in the salon. Several factors go into professional color services including: the natural level of your hair, your skin tone, the percentage of gray (if any), and any previous chemicals on the hair. If you are looking for a certain color, you are not going to get the color on the box. The only way to get the color on the box is if your hair was completely white. Boxed color is extremely damaging to your hair. It has the highest count of ammonia. Depending on products already on your hair, boxed color can react towards them. If you are currently using boxed color and you havent had any issues yet, trust us, in time you will. The product builds up in your hair, clogging it, causing the color to look dull and your hair to feel damaged. If you were thinking about using boxed color, think about your hair, there's no guarantee your hair will look like the picture on the box. When going into a corrective color appointment, it is important to tell your stylist what products you have used on your hair because there could also be a reaction with the boxed color and professional products. Corrective colors are a process. There have been cases where clients have been in the salon for hours because color remover needed to be applied to bring the hair back to a healthier state. Depending on the state of the hair, sometimes clients will have to wait a few weeks to continue the process because we do not want to risk the integrity of the hair. Although our salon uses professional products with low ammonia and sulfates, the hair can only take so many chemicals in one sitting. Along with being long process, corrective colors are also an investment. While boxed color may seem like the inexpensive alternative, with color corrections, your boxed color will be a lot more of a hassle than you expected.
