Hair & Nail Gallery-Charlotte Toal

A little bit of shine spray, and that’s all! She wanted a rounder shape on the bottom and some shorter layers for more texture without compromising the thickness of her hair so I used a slide cutting technique on every single piece.

I’ll be taking clients next week at the Hair & Nail Gallery!

There’s no product in this hair she’s a low maintenance girl ☀️

Q: How can I keep my color from fading quickly or being flat, dull, frizzy, dry, etc?

A: Check the PH of your products. The PH of your hair products plays a *huge* role in how your hair looks and feels. Hair, skin and nails all have a PH of between 4.5 and 5.5, so that’s right where you want your hair products to be. Most drugstore brand hair products, and even some salon products, are not PH balanced because it takes a lot longer to go through that process. A lot of drugstore products tend to be on the higher, or alkaine side–which blows the hair’s cuticle wide open instead of closing it down. This can cause the frizziness, dry hair, scalp flakiness, and color fading, among other things.
Products on the lower side of the PH scale are going to close the cuticle down and smooth everything out, keeping the frizz to a minimum and locking your color in–as well as keep your scalp healthy and hydrated.

There are certain times products with a higher pH are helpful, for example volumizing products, but I absolutely guarantee you you’ll see a major difference in your hair and scalp when you know what you’re putting on your head–AND when it’s a healthy PH.

My next post is all about the BIGGEST secret I have about healthy hair! No joke though...I don’t believe in selling products just to sell them. You should be able to ask your stylist what’s in the products they’re recommending to you, and how it does what they say it does. Not all products sold in salons are better than drugstore products...I’ll explain in the next post!

It took us a while to get through the 4 layers of B O X D Y E but here we are with a gorgeous sandy blonde that feels as strong and healthy as ever.

You never know when a high school boy will let you curl their hair 🤩 they might surprise you!
