How To Fight Frizz

Frizzy red hair on close up

BOOK NOW

Frizz knows no boundaries. Don’t let the fear of frizz keep you indoors! Here are some tips from Blow Out Parlour of Boca Raton to help you fight frizz.

Get A Good Haircut

Get rid of dry, dead ends. Split ends can travel up the strand causing more damage and frizz, so it’s best to get a haircut when you start to notice fraying.

Wash Hair with Cooler Water

Hot water is actually not good for your hair! The temperature of the high temperature of the water can cause the cuticle to raise, and that means the hair will need more moisture, promoting frizz.

Switch Shampoos

To reduce frizz, use shampoos with hydrating ingredients like glycerin, which is a great humectant, meaning it absorbs the extra moisture in the air to create a protective coating over the strands.

Use Extra Conditioner

Even the best frizz fighting shampoos can still strip away your hair’s natural oils and moisturizers. Instead, alternate between using shampoo and conditioner one day and just conditioner the next to lock in your natural moisture.

Best Hairstyles for Wavy Hair

BOOK NOW

Wavy hair is beautiful, but not always easy to manage. On good hair days, wavy hair is wonderful and flowy, but taming it can be an absolute nightmare. That being said, wavy hair definitely has its pros—it’s an ideal way to add some texture and volume to a hairstyle that lacks dimension. Plus, it complements many different hairstyles, making it one of the most coveted finishes after a salon haircut. Here are a few hairstyles to try out on your wavy hair!

Blunt Bob

A blunt bob is known for its straight lines, particularly at the ends, for a clean, precise look. For those with wavy hair, the hair itself won’t be straight, but it will have a uniform look with the same length all around.

Shag with Layers

Over the past few years, a shaggy cut has gained popularity among millennials and Gen-X-ers alike. Shag with layers effectively removes the weight and bulk at the bottom with well-cut layers for a flattering, polished style. n addition to its stylish vibe, the layers can help keep it lightweight and better tamed.

Pixie Cut

While pixie cuts work for almost any hair type, wavy hair can add texture and dimension that a typical pixie lacks. If you like to go a little longer between appointments and want to use minimal product, ask your stylist for a choppy, tousled finish!

Body Curls

Craving more definition? Enhance your wavy hair with some additional curls for that extra bounce. You can achieve this with hot rollers or a traditional curling wand—just make sure to use a smoothing serum or taming product to help minimize frizz.

Curtain Bangs

Want to get bangs but not ready for a full commitment? Wavy hair lends itself well to curtain bangs as they frame the face and add dimension. This style requires minimal effort with a blow dryer and round brush to create the desired shape. Oh, and the other great thing about curtain bangs? Because they’re longer, you can easily pin them back if you want your hair completely off your face, not to mention that they’ll easily blend into the rest of your haircut as they grow.

What Is Ombré?

BOOK NOW

Originating in France, “ombré” (pronounced “om-bray”), meaning “shaded”, describes a hair coloring technique where a darker base color is gradually lightened along the lengths, usually starting around mid-way, giving a sun kissed effect.

Unlike traditional foil highlights or all-over color, ombré is a gradient hair color technique that’s typically darker at the roots and seamlessly transitions into a lighter shade at the ends.

The biggest advantage of ombré hair color is that the color doesn’t start all the way at the root. This means you can avoid that harsh root line that happens as color grows out. This means fewer touch-up visits and less money spent at the salon.

If you tend to rock a simple one-length cut but want to spice things up with color, ombré is an ideal choice! The ombré technique works beautifully if you’re mostly just looking to accentuate your natural color. It can easily look subtle if you choose to only go a few shades lighter at the ends. This natural look is sometimes referred to as “sombré,” a softer, subtler version of the trend.

Ombré tends to last for about four to five months. You can help to keep your color looking fresh by not overwashing the hair and using sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. If your hair is blonde, you can also use a purple shampoo, which helps to neutralize brassy and yellow tones. If the color becomes too dull or brassy for your liking, return to the salon for a gloss treatment. This will add shine and tone to the hair.

Best Hairstyles For Thin Hair

BOOK NOW

If you have thin hair and are struggling to find a style that suits you, you have come to the right place! Blow Out Parlor of Boca Raton is here to offer you the solutions you have been looking for! Keep reading to find out which hairstyle will suit your thin hair best.

Shoulder-Length Blunt Cut

No matter the hair type, long locks have the tendency to weigh the hair down, but this is especially true for those whose hair fares thinner.

Deep Side Part

With a deep side part, you’re essentially lumping all of the hair together on one side. This creates the illusion of volume. Add a few bends to the front pieces of hair for added texture and create lift at the roots with a styling powder!

Choppy Pixie

Shorter hair is oftentimes stronger than longer strands, so even very fine hair can benefit from a super-short crop. Pixie cuts can actually make your thin hair appear thicker than it really is. Try one with choppy layers to add volume, and work in a light styling balm or paste!

Pixie With Side-Swept Bangs

A pixie haircut is round by nature, and with a few soft layers and side-swept bangs, it can look fabulous on thinner hair types. Go choppy around the nape of the neck where you can afford to go shorter—this will also give the illusion of an elongated neck.

Ear-Tucked Bob

While those with thick hair may find it more cumbersome to pull off an ear-tucked style, thinner hair types won’t have to fuss with flattening out the extra hair that sticks out. Pair it with a short cut, like a bob, for volume.

Why Use A Hair Oil

BOOK NOW

Hair oil gives your hair an added shine, smoothness, and even protection against frizz! Hair oiling is the practice of pouring oil onto hair and massaging it into the scalp to increase moisture, luster, and shine. Hair oiling may soften the hair and provide vitamins and minerals that get stripped from frequent washing. Here are a few reasons why you should add a hair oil to your daily hair routine.

Benefits of Using a Hair Oil

According to Healthline, Oils play an important role in protecting hair from regular wear and tear. Oiling hair regularly reduces hygral fatigue, or the swelling and drying of hair. Oils protect the follicle from surfactants by filling the gap between cuticle cells.

“Oil helps in scalp health. When you gently massage the scalp it helps in exfoliation and sometimes that helps in reducing hair fall,” says Dr. Khushboo Garodia.

Garodia is a certified trichologist, or hair and scalp expert. She explains that oils have fatty acids that help replace lipids in the hair. These are lost due to chemical treatments, styling, or even pollution.

“Lipids play a very important role in making the hair look and feel healthy. They help maintain the shine and gloss of hair,” she says.

What oil you use will depend on your hair needs. “Different kinds of oils have different vitamins… and with direct application of these oils, the shaft of the hair gets strengthened,” says Garodia.

Keep in mind, when using oil on your scalp, it may be worth testing to be sure you don’t have an allergy to an ingredient!

Why Use A Heat Protectant

BOOK NOW

Before applying any heat to your hair, you should really be applying a heat protectant! Heat protectant is a product that reduces damage to your hair when used before heat styling. It’s often a spray, cream, or serum that you leave in your hair. Here are a few reasons why you should add a heat protectant to your daily hair routine.

Benefits of Using a Heat Protectant

Heat protectants add a barrier between your styling tool and your hair, sealing in moisture and fending off frizz. They also work to smooth the cuticle, making your hair look smooth and feel soft. Quality heat protectants contain ingredients like humectants (like panthenol and propylene glycol), which preserves moisture and blocks frizz; amino acids (like keratin), to strengthen hair and provide antioxidants; and natural oils and extracts (like aloe), which protect and seal the hair’s cuticle.

While some products rely on silicones (like dimethicone and cyclomethicone) and water-based polymers (like polyquaternium and acrylate copolymer), these ingredients can leave a film on some hair types and end up weighing it down — so some prefer to avoid them.

Depending on the type of heat protectant, you may apply it on damp hair or dry hair before using any hot tools, including blow dryers, curling irons, and straightening irons. Apply section by section, and comb through to distribute the product evenly.
