Let Your Curls Be The Star
Have you been straightening your curls, or have you resorted to a relaxer? Both of these hair treatments are incredibly damaging to your hair. Instead, try embracing your natural curl and regaining your hair's overall health! Voluminous curly locks are a complete show-stopper. Let them be the star!
The most important thing you can do for your hair is to understand your curl pattern by identifying the natural shape of your strands so that you know how to work with, not against, your hair's natural movement. Your stylist can help reconnect you with your tresses and identify what products will enhance your natural curls or waves.
Innersense beauty products are one of my favorite lines that supports our curly-haired clients. I love "I Create Hold" by Innersense, as it will bring your natural curls to life beautifully. This magical product is a conditioning gel that will give your hair hold without drying out your curls. Finish off your curls with "I Create Volume" by Innersense to create fullness, manageability, and expansion of your curls with added glorious shine.
Zen Curl Expert, Lee Wilson, especially loves the Innersense products for curly hair because "the products are so concentrated that you are getting the most of their quality ingredients." A professional tip is to rub each product together in your hands to wake up the ingredients and then apply.
Now that we've discussed getting reacquainted with your curls let's chat about curls and color. By now, everyone knows what balayage is and the insane results that this "painting of the hair" technique yields. However, a slightly new coloring style is taking over the curly girl world called "curlyage." This technique is customized specifically for people with curly or textured hair. Similar to balayage, the hair is painted with a lightener, but curlyage is different because of the customized placement and focus on protecting the integrity of the curls.
Natural light reflects differently on straight hair versus curls, which makes the placement of curlyage crucial. At ZEN, we customize every client's curlayage treatment to enhance the curls in the most beautiful and glamorous way. Remember, if you've been doing the same thing to your curly hair for ages, it might be time to reassess as your hair changes. What once worked for you may be working against you. If you want serious curl attention, schedule a consultation with Salon deZEN's curl expert, Lee Wilson. You might be surprised at what she can teach you about your locks. Book your appointment now to ensure your curls and color are on point.
