3 Tips For Healthy Summer Hair

As great as the weather feels in the summer it can be treacherous for your hair. Try these three simple tips to help protect your hair during this seasons heat wave:

1.) Hats are perfect shields for your hair from the sun's brutal heat especially if your on the beach perfecting your tan.  Large brimmed hats allow you to throw a little shade in style! If you aren't a hat girl try a turban or cute scarf like Solange!

2.) Due to increased sweating during the summer from heat try using a dry shampoo to clean your scalp while wearing your installs.  We recommend our Indique Essentials Dry Shampoo, which helps to cleanse your scalp in between shampoo services.

3.) Try protective styles that help protect your natural hair such as high ponytails and top knots.  They are also great to help keep you cool during heat waves!
 

Top 3 Ways To Wear Crop Tops

If you are a little shy about wearing a crop top or you think you aren’t fashion savvy enough to pull it off, try these top 3 ways to crop your top in style:

1)      Pair it with a high waist skirt:  Go for a mid length pencil skirt like Beyonce.  By pairing your crop top with this skirt it will expose just enough skin to make your look sexy classy!

2)      Pair it with a high waist bottom:  We love printed slacks or wide leg pants.  Not only will it elongate your frame it helps to give the illusion of a smaller waist.  This one is our top pick!

3)      Pair it with a maxi skirt: Whether it’s a sheer maxi skirt or a high low maxi skirt adding a crop top will take your look from drab to fab by making it look more modern instead of polished

Extension Etiquette 101!

• If your weave itches, pat rather than scratching in order to relieve the itch. Patting is a great technique because it will leave your style undisturbed. When using this technique please do so gently and discreetly.
• After shampoo & conditioning your weave be sure to make sure that the braids underneath are completely dry. If the braids are not dried completely it can be damaging to your hair. It’s best to continue going to your stylist for up-keep.  Their hooded dryers will dry your hair completely and quickly. 
• Your daily night routine is just as important as your morning  one. Whether it’s pin curls, two-strand twists, braids or wrapping in a circular motion; do the best technique necessary to maintain your style. Lastly, always wear a silk scarf or bonnet.
