HAIR COLOR offers an instant change – from simple to major and dramatic.  Here are some tips on hair coloring:

• If coloring hair for the first time, try to stick close to your natural hair color.

• For first timers, you might consider a temporary washout color treatment.  This will make it easier for you to remedy if in case you don’t like the new color of your hair.
• If you opt for “do-it-yourself” color kits, make sure to follow the instructions closely and thoroughly. No skipping steps.
• To prevent hair color from dripping on your skin, apply a thin layer of moisturizer or petroleum jelly to the skin at your hairline. Most hair dyes will not drip, but in case they do, this makes cleanup so much easier!
• Wait at least 48 hours after coloring hair to shampoo it.  Every time you wet hair, you open the cuticle so give hair time to seal in the color.

Still can’t live without your HAIR STRAIGHTENING IRON? Once you know how to achieve that sleek, smooth look it’s hard to go back. Here are some tips to avoid damaging hair when using straightening irons:

• Keep your flat iron clean. It will last longer and do less damage to your hair.
• Use a styling aid to prevent frizz before you blow dry or iron hair. Monea CPR Hair Revitalizing Spray seal the ends of your hair locking out frizziness.
• Use small sections. The smaller the section the flatter and more weightless your hair will be.
• Use even pressure while stroking your flat iron from the root to the end without stopping on any part of the sectioned hair.
• Use a lightweight serum, Monea QR Coat Super Shine or Swallow Multivitamins Grapeseed Serum to smooth any frizz left over. You’ll only need a little.
• Let your iron cool; clean its surface with a cloth so you’ll be ready to use it again tomorrow.
• BE KIND TO YOUR LOCKS!!
