TheHaiRazor Hair Tip: RELAXERS – They’re NOT Supposed To Burn!

A few weeks ago I was at the salon and one of my clients asked how do you know if your relaxer is broken down properly. Before I could answer, she blurted out, ” Well I heard when it burns, that’s when you rinse it out”. She then told me that her former stylist told her that burning is how you know. I QUICKLY corrected her

TheHaiRazor Winter Hair Tips!

Buuurrrr it’s cold out there! It’s that season again, Winter! The greatest season ever! (Insert sarcasm here, LOL.)  Here are a few hair tips to help you and your hair during these winter months:

  1. Keep the hot stuff to a minimum! Avoid using curling irons or blow dryers a lot. Since it’s already dry outside, you don’t want to dry your hair out even more with excessive heat use.
  2. Wrap it up! Wear scarves and hats to protect your hair from the harsh winter winds. Avoid wool or cotton scarves and hats though, those materials can dry out and pull on your hair.
  3. Watch your collars! Be mindful of those wool and cotton collars on your winter coats. The materials can pull on your hair and cause breakage and hair loss to your nape area. Try using silk, satin, or pashmina scarves to cover your collars and protect your hair.
  4. Condition it up! Treat your hair weekly with a good moisturizing conditioner to bring back the moisture to your hair. The cold weather can drain your hair, making it feel dry and brittle.
  5. Love cold water. Once you condition your hair, rinse the conditioner out with cool water to lock the moisture in and give your hair extra shine.

TheHaiRazor Hair Tip: Cherish Your Tools

On our journey to beautiful, healthy hair, we tend to focus on just our hair and not the tools we use for it. We have the nicest brushes, combs, flat irons, etc, but the brush is full of hair, the comb has teeth missing, and the flat iron has product build up all over it. You may never think about it, but you’re causing more harm to your hair by not taking care of your precious hair tools.

Here are some quick tips on how to clean and store your hair tools:

  1. Wash your combs and brushes! Ok you might say DUH to this tip but some people don’t clean their combs and brushes. It’s really gross! Once or twice a week, take a mild soap and properly clean your combs and brushes. You don’t want to use a dirty comb on clean hair!
  2. Store your brushes face down in a drawer. This way, dust or whatever else is in the air, won’t land on your bristles.
  3. Wipe off your flat irons and blow dryers. Over time, hair products can gunk up on these tools. You can use rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth to remove the grease build up. Oh and make sure it’s off and DON’T USE WATER!
  4. Don’t let your friends use your stuff! Real talk, you don’t know their hair regimen.

Hope these tips help! Let’s treat our hair right!

TheHaiRazor Hair Tip: Switch Up Your Wrap!

It’s a standard routine for most women of color each night – wrapping your hair. You pull out your paddle brush and silk scarf and go to work, wrapping those locks, long or short, around your head. As time goes by, you notice that your hair feels a bit thiner on that one side that you constantly pull across the front of your head during your wrap. We hardly think to look at the way we wrap our hair. Wrapping your hair isn’t bad, it’s the way you do it. Instead of wrapping you hair going towards one direction all the time, switch it up! Every other week switch the direction you wrap your hair. This technique lightens the stress pull on your hair and will stop the thinning on that one side of your head. So remember, Switch Up Your Wrap!
