Braids and Waves the Best of Both Worlds – Oklahoma City Hair Salon

Braids are hot this season, and so are natural waves. You can have the best of both of these trends with a section of side braids and large voluminous waves. If you have ethnic hair this is a great way to show off your hair’s natural curl and waves with an unexpected shot of style on the side. If you have straight hair you can add waves with hot rollers and then braid one side to create this look.

One of the most important things natural hair needs is moisture. When you need to add moisture to your hair, you don’t want products which will weigh it down and make it feel greasy. One of the best ingredients to look for in hair care products is argan oil. Argan oil is derived from the nut of the Argan tree, a native of Morocco. It contains essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals your hair needs to be strong and shiny. Argan oil absorbs quickly and completely leaving hair soft and manageable.

To get this look apply a leave in conditioner containing argan oil and an anit-frizz serum to towel dried hair. Either let your hair air dry, or use the diffuser on your hair dryer with the heat and power setting on low. This will help prevent your hair from becoming too voluminous and out of control. Once your hair is dry, apply some hair wax, gel, or paste to the section of hair you want to braid and make small braids in any design you like. Spritz your hair with sheen spray and you’re done.

If your hair is straight, or not as curly or wavy as you want, use curl activator and anit-frizz serum on towel dried hair, blow dry your hair, and then use hot rollers to create soft waves or curls. You can also put twists on one side of your head instead of braids for another chic look. Ask your stylist to help you if you’re not proficient at braiding, and ask her recommendations for products containing argan oil. You can styling products containing this wonderful ingredient and also entire lines of hair care products.

First get a great cut. Go to a stylist who is experienced and can help you find a cut that will look great on you. She needs to take into consideration your face shape, hair type and texture, hair thickness, and how much time you’re willing to spend on your hair each day. It’s a waste of money to choose a cut and style that takes more time than you can afford to spend each morning. Be honest with your stylist about your lifestyle and commitment to styling your hair. Even a wash and go style looks great if your hair is healthy and cut correctly.

The second secret is to take care of your hair. Don’t use very hot water when you wash it. This strips the moisture out of your hair and scalp. Very hot water can also make your hair color fade quickly if you get your hair colored in the salon. Only use tepid water and use a gentle motion when you shampoo your hair. Never use your fingernails when you wash your hair, only your finger tips. Your fingernails can make scratches on your scalp that can get infected and irritate your scalp. Pat your hair dry with a cotton towel, don’t rub it. This prevent tangles and roughing up the cuticle layer. Never brush wet hair, only use a large tooth comb to prevent breakage and damage. Be gentle with your hair as you blow dry it. Don’t tug or pull on your hair. Once your hair is dry, use a natural bristle brush to help spread the natural oils and smooth your hair’s cuticle.

The third secret is to use professional products. These have no sulfates to strip your hair of its natural oils and pull the color out of the hair shaft. Many of them contain natural vitamins and oils to nourish your hair. One of the best products you can use contain Argan oil. Argan oil is one a natural oil from the Argan tree found only in Morocco. The nuts from the tree are ground and pressed to extract the oil which is used in cosmetics and hair care products. Argan oil rebuilds, restores and protects your hair. It is absorbed completely and does not leave your hair feeling greasy. You can find styling products, anti-frizz products, shampoos and conditioners, and even skin care products with Argan oil as a key ingredient. It provides your hair with essential fatty acids and rebuilds your hair from within.

Ask your stylist for tips on how to have sleek and shiny hair. She is your best resource for information and education to keep your hair looking sexy and healthy.
