How do I cut down my styling time when getting ready in the morning?
A quick way to cut time in half is simply to wash your hair the night before. When you get up, your hair is dry and you can begin styling it immediately.
My hair gets oily by the end of each day. What can I do?
Oily hair often has a partner in crime: dandruff. Therefore, we recommend a clarifying shampoo for this type of hair. Shampooing twice may also work well for you. Using conditioner is fine, but do not apply the conditioner on the scalp. Be extra diligent about rinsing thoroughly.
With spring, summer and humidity around the corner, how can I permanently control my frizzy, curly hair?
To permanently get rid of unruly hair, Japanese straightening may be the answer for you. With Japanese thermal re-conditioning, you permanently smooth out the hair shafts, and not even humidity can sneak its way in. For more information, check out our Japanese Hair Straightening service.
How can I prevent breakage along my hairline?
If you have breakage along the hairline, you are probably stressing your hair. Get serious about deep conditioning, and make sure you are getting proper nutrition. A lack of certain vitamins and minerals in the diet can have an adverse effect on your hair. Remember not to tie your hair in a tight ponytail either. If the problem persists, it’s always a good idea to pay a visit to your physician.
How can I get that sun-kissed appearance in my hair?
One of the best ways to get natural-looking highlights is to make a balayage appointment. This hand-painted coloring technique gives subtle highlights one to two shades lighter than your natural color. This gives the impression that you have spending a lot of time outside in the sun.
How often should I wash my hair?
Thick and curly hair should be washed only two or three times a week. This will let natural oils from the scalp condition your hair. It is important for those with coarser hair to use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. We recommend the L’Oreal Absolute Repair line. Those without dryness can wash their hair more often.
My hair color is washing me out. What should I do?
Your hair color may be too ashy. Warming your shade may help flatter your skin tone. See a color specialist if you don’t know what hair color goes best with your skin tone.
Will going blonder make me look younger?
Not necessarily. Sometimes adding a few softer highlights -- rather than doing a drastic color change -- will shave a few years off your look.
My natural dark hair looks dull. What can I do to bring back the shine?
One trick is to have your hairdresser apply a deposit-only glaze that matches your color. This will add shine. You also may want to switch to a gentler shampoo such as L'Oreal’s Vitamino Shampoo.
How do I make my hair look fuller?
Blow-dry your hair until it is half dry. Then, flip the head upside down and mist L’Oreal’s Volume Spray close to the scalp and continue to style. Adding highlights is another way to give the impression of extra texture and fullness.
