Ask TheHaiRazor: “How Can I Tame These Edges?”

Ayana "TheHaiRazor" — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 14:45:59 +0000

I was in Wal-Mart with my husband last week and the girl checking us out overheard that I was a hairstylist. She the politely asked if she could ask me a hair question. I said sure and she proceeded. She said her hair is natural and she wanted to know of any good gels or pomades that could help slick her hair into a ponytail. She tried the “brown” gel, Jam, and others but by mid-day its no longer slick, but a frizzy ponytail. Her hair was in a ponytail that day so I could see for myself what the gel failed to do.

There are two products that I told her may work for her needs. The first was Hick’s Edges Pomade. My client suggested this product to me a while back and it works really good! Hicks doesn’t clump on the hair but it is best to use it on clean, dry hair. It retails for about $15 but you can find it online cheaper on some sites. They had a website a while back but now I can’t seem to find it!

The second product is a bit like Hick’s but much cheaper. I’ve never tried it but it’s the Organic Root Stimulator Edge Control Hair Gel. The gel retails for about $5 at your local beauty supply and online. I’ve seen really good reviews about this product on YouTube. I’ll make sure and try it out for you guys really soon!

Do you know of any other products that can help tame those edges? If so, feel free to drop a line below!

Trying New Products… JOICO

Ayana "TheHaiRazor" — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 21:59:25 +0000

I ran out today to my local CosmoProf ( beauty supply for beauty professionals) to pick up some things for the salon. I was especially excited about this trip because I was on the hunt to find some new products for my clients. The products I use now are cool, but they weren’t giving me what I need. This cold weather has been pretty harsh on my clients hair so I was looking for some products to protect, moisturize and reconstruct their hair even more.

I decided to purchase some products from the Joico product line. Joico is well known for their extensive line of K-Pak products. They also have great products for daily use, color treated hair, and moisture control. The four products that I picked up were:

Joico K-Pak Clarify Chelating Shampoo
Joico K-Pak Reconstruct Deep Penetrating Reconstructor
Joico Daily Care Leave In Detangler
Joico Silk Results Thermal Smoother Styling Spray

I picked up the smaller bottles because I’m just trying them out. If I like them, I’m definitely gonna load up! There will also be a review on each product that I got. Also if there are any Joico users out there, let me know what you think about their products!

My Personal Beauty Supply Buys

Ayana "TheHaiRazor" — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:00:04 +0000

What’s up fam! So it’s been a few days… yeah I know… my bad . I took a few days off for the holiday and I was getting over a little cold. Any who, I’m back and I wanted to share with you guys my personal beauty supply buys. I mostly buy professional products (one’s you can only get in a professional supply store) for work and personal use, but sometimes I switch it up a bit. Plus, some cheaper products are just better to me.

Last night I picked up Clairol’s Jazzing semi-permanent Bluest Black color, Murray’s Beeswax, a hair cutter and blue hair extensions. If you’re looking for a cheap semi-permanent color, Jazzing is it. It does a pretty good job and is a one stop shop, no mixing, just apply straight from the bottle. Now Murray’s Beeswax is usually used for locs and natural twist, but I use it to spike and style my hair. It’s the BEST cheapest product out there for spiking and styling short hair. The hair cutter I bought is for thinning out the extensions I put in my hair sometimes. AND FINALLY, the blue hair… well you guys know I like to add some color the non-permanent way. Check that out HERE. I may do a quick video soon to show you the outcome of my blue hair! Smooches!
