Perms for Long Hair – Oklahoma City Salons

If you’re looking for a way to spice up your look and you have long hair, you might want to consider a perm. It’s been a few years since the perm was en vogue, but lately, it’s been revived. New technologies and developments have made the perm safer and kinder for your hair. That means that you can have long luscious curls that will turn heads even if your hair is normally stick straight.

It can be a challenge to keep renewing your look if you have long hair. Long hair takes extra care and it’s important that you condition it regularly to prevent breakage if you decide to get a perm. On long hair, you’ll want to discuss combining a perm with a hair color treatment. Too many chemicals on you long locks can make your hair brittle and frizzy. Your stylist may be able to recommend a course of action if you feel you must have a perm as well as a specific hair color. Some products are kinder and gentler on the hair than others.

There are a variety of different perm options available for women with long hair. Women can opt for tight, kinky curls or beachy waves depending on what suits them. Kinky curls will shorten the length of the hair considerably. Beachy waves may look more natural but less striking than tighter curls. Talk to your stylist to learn more about the options available to you. Perms have come a long way since the 80’s.

Women with very straight, limp hair can benefit tremendously from a perm. Perms can give hair a real lift, adding volume and versatility to lackluster locks. Using a curling iron or heated curlers, it’s possible to give tight curls a slightly more subtle wave. Beachy waves may even be able to be straightened with a straightener leaving behind straight hair that has plenty of volume. A perm can definitely enliven hair that is limp and lifeless. The chemicals used to process the perm change the shape of the hair shaft itself, which is what leads to these positive effects.

If you have long hair and you’re seeking out a perm, it’s vitally important that you speak to your stylist about previous chemical treatments your hair has undergone. If you’ve colored your hair, had a perm previously, or done any other chemical treatment to your hair, the solution used to do the perm could react negatively with your hair. Your stylist will be able to choose the right perm solution for your needs as long as you communicate with him/her about what your hair has already been through. Long hair needs a special touch, but the results of a perm can be outstanding.

Secrets to Rejuvenate with New Hairstyles – Oklahoma City Hair Salon

Here are some tricks to renew your hair and have a good look without big changes.

If you are a brunette or blond you can try clumps of bright colors and soft lines around the face. A bright clump gives your complexion a glow and makes you look much younger, like age has been erased right off your face. Consult your hairdresser, she`ll know what the best color is for your face.

If you are blonde and your hair is cracked and faded, you can slightly darken the color of your hair.  With this look you will achieve a more refined look of autumn, reflecting a subtle palette of autumn colors and patterns.

Bangs are the simplest way for “removing years” or for looking younger without a radical change in hairstyle. Uneven bangs suit every shape of the face and can give more energy and style to your face, like Kate Moss. But for the surest way to find out which one suits your face the best, consult your hairdresser.

As we age so does our hair, and the diameter of our hair is reduced. Considering this, we may want to think of ways that our hairstyle can be as simple as possible.  Most women and men don’t want to have the same hairstyle for years, with the same routine. The least you can do is make it a little shorter with a haircut in layers like Nancy Del Olio. A stylish soft hairstyle flatters every face and hair type. Cut straight lines are not recommended, and neither are thick straight bangs.

As you grow older, you will want to be careful with long hair. A better way might be to have middle length like Madonna. But there are rare women like Michelle Pfeiffer and Cher, who know how to wear long hair.

Sometimes it`s good to take vitamins in addition to healthy food when your hair is missing vitality, shine and density. If you put your hair up in a tail or a bun, don’t strictly gather it at the nape, but tie it casually and informally. Ask your hairdresser about customized hair color seasoning, because this is the secret of shiny hair for many Hollywood stars such as Elle McPherson. Add warm colored clumps of hair to replace the cold pale winter complexions. Regular brushing stimulates the production of sebum, which is responsible for shine. The combination of wax and grease is also a moisturizer and protects the hair.

These are some tricks you can use but the best way to choose the right style for rejuvenation is to consult your hairdresser. She will help you to find your best look.

Long or Short Retro Waves are Hot – Oklahoma City Hairstylist

One of the hottest trends in celebrity hair is a head full of waves. Wavy hair has been in style for some time now, and you can wear it long or short. The key to getting a full head of lovely waves is to use styling products that hold the wave, but don’t weigh down your hair. You still want some movement in your style, so don’t think you have to end up with “helmet head”.

First wash and condition your hair with a moisturizing system. Hot tools sap the moisture out of your hair, and your hair needs to be in top shape to hold a curl. Next apply a bit of volumizing mousse to damp hair. Mousse is a good choice because it isn’t heavy on your hair, and unlike gel won’t cause that icky white buildup. Next comb your damp hair with a large tooth comb and divide it into small sections and hold them up with hair clips.Blow dry your hair, take each section and using a barrel brush run the blow dryer along the section of hair from root to end. Once you have your hair dry, apply heat protecting spray and resection it.

For Scarlett Johansson’s look you’ll need a Marcel iron. These differ from regular barrel curling irons and are used to make waves and curls. Scarlett’s look is a bit more time consuming to do, but the results are stunning. Take each section of hair and press it with the Marcel iron to form waves. Line up each wave to the other section of the hair and do this all the way around your head. You may want to have your stylist do this and show you how it’s done. Let your hair cool completely and then you can gently brush it out to loosen the waves or leave it. Use some medium hold hairspray and you’ve got a very chic retro style.

You can use a curling iron or hot rollers to get Bar Refali’s long wavy curls. Follow the above instructions and simply roll your hair up on the curling iron or hot rollers. If you use a curling iron, wrap the hair around some rollers after you curl it to really lock in the waves. Let your hair cool completely, lightly brush it over to one side and let it fall over one shoulder.

With some practice and the right tools and products, you too can have lovely retro waves no matter if you have short, medium or long hair. Ask your stylist to help you get it right and then you’ll be ready to style and go.
