How to Grow Your hair out the right way. ROY Salon Fairfax Va. Northern Va.


When it comes to growing your hair out there are two paths women often take. There's the "let me skip my trims and let it grow" path, or there's the "maintain my cut and let it grow healthy" path. You'd be surprised which one is the path less chosen. Every woman dreams of having that big, sexy, Victoria's Secret model hair, right? It IS possible to grow your hair out to look like that WITHOUT extensions. It comes down to three things; regular trims, correct products, and correct care. When I say regular trims I mean every 4 weeks you are getting it refreshed. This doesn't mean 3 inches every time. If you take off what you need to initially, your hair will not continue to split up your shaft between trims. What's even better is that every time you get it trimmed after that, it will be less and less. Maybe half as much as the time before each time. When your fingers are getting caught in your hair when you run them through it, its time for a trim ladies. Most people cringe at the thought of taking 3 inches off. The thing is if you keep it on, your ends are going to be dead and thin, and you won't notice your hair growing because it really won't be. It will be stuck at the same length because it will continue to break. So now on step 2, the fun part. What do you have on your hair right now? More importantly, what's IN your hair? Many products sit on top of the hair and don't actually go in and repair. The great thing about the Surface line is that it's all natural ingredients go into the hair shaft and penetrate it in order to begin the repair process. For growing healthy, sexy hair the product options are endless. First of all, let's talk shampoo. The Awaken line is your #1 choice as far as growth acceleration. With ingredients like Cayenne pepper and Menthol your hair will have no choice but to grow. These ingredients act as catalysts on the scalp because they draw all the blood to the surface, while removing all impurities, and in turn promoting accelerated hair growth. And might I add, thicker hair growth. Additional info about the Awaken line and it's new products are shown below in a past blog post. If you aren't getting regular trims I INSIST you at least do the One-Shot treatment or Purify Maximum. I'll post the links to the videos on here as well. Lastly, don't tie your hair up when it is wet, use proper hair elastics, and always use a wide-tooth comb to get tangles out post-shower, never a brush.

Hair tips from the Experts. ROY Salon Fair Lakes Fairfax Va.


  Drug store hair products will do the trick instantly, but will not repair your hair over time. Do you ever feel like your hair is still dirty after you use them? Their conditioners are filled with plastics and silicones that sit on top of the hair, rather than go in and penetrate with healthy ingredients to repair and restore your hair. Not to mention the high alcohol content will continue to dry out your locks and strip your color faster than you can believe. Investing in high quality hair products is worth it, especially is you're investing a lot in color or highlights. You want to preserve that look the best you can. And besides, you deserve it. ;) Ali Jackson Stylist Designer Hair Color Specialist Reflections of You East Market Fair Lakes Va. Fairfax, Chantilly

Swimsuit Season Styles for You Reflections of You Color Experts Fairfax


Which Swimsuit Style is Best for You?


Small on top?
 
Try fringe, ruffles or frills.
Embellishments will pump up the
volume- creating an optical illusion


Bit of a belly?
 
Try an empire waist one-piece.
This style draws the eye away from your  midsection and to the
most narrow part of the body.
 


Bigger booty? 
   
Try darker bottoms with a bright or
lighter colored top.
Dark colors have a slimming effect
and will minimize the look of your hips.
