Tips to Grow Out Your Hair Fast!

March 12, 2021 By //  by Karolin Leave a Comment

Grow out Your hair

We’ve all done it. You decided to chop off your hair for a stylish short look for a change, then you want long hair again, then you feel like going short again, and the cycle goes on. You love change and that’s totally okay! Because we see this so often, we put together a quick list of tips to help you grow out your hair fast, and most importantly, healthy! 

1. Don’t skip trims:

If you ever heard that getting trims will make your hair grow faster, we are here to tell you, that is simply not true. However, getting trims regularly will make your hair grow stronger and stronger after each trim. Split ends and weak ends can make the bottom of your hair appear very thin, but if you get trims regularly, then your hair will grow healthy and strong. We recommend getting a trim every 8 weeks. And the best thing to do is get a wellness care cut that is done with hot scissors to seal the ends and prevent splitting. 

2. Take your vitamins: 

Hair vitamins really do work. Biotin, B12, and zinc are essential for growing out healthy and strong hair. Taking vitamins daily guarantees you give your body what it needs every day no matter how busy you get. Even though you can get vitamins and nutrients from your diet, when we are busy, it’s harder to keep track and make sure we are getting the number of nutrients we need every day. One of our favorites that we carry is the Collagen with Biotin and vitamin C.

3. Use hair masks 

Lots of people take the time to do a face mask once a week and take care of their skin daily. Why not do the same for your hair? Hair masks not only moisturize your hair but also help strengthen it so it can grow long and healthy. We recommend you use a hair mask once a week or at least every 3 shampoos. Not all hair masks are created equal, so we suggest you visit our masks and treatments page where you can find all our favorite masks for different needs, hair textures, and more. 

Follow these tips and you will see that your hair will not only grow fast, but it will also grow healthy and stronger. If you have any questions, you can always schedule a consultation at our salon where we can put together a prescribed hair care treatment for your hair goals.

3 Things You Need to Know About Curtain Bangs

February 22, 2021 By //  by Karolin Leave a Comment

Curtain Bangs copy

(2021’s Latest Hair Trend)

So you’ve seen all the cute Instagram photos of girls showing off their new curtain bangs, rocking that middle part, and parting ways with their side part hair. You love it, you want it, but everyone knows that bangs are a commitment! We are here to tell you everything you need to know about curtain bangs, their level of maintenance, which face shapes work best for it, and how to style them.

1. Curtain bangs enhance your best features:

This trend was originally made famous in the ’60s and ’70s by big actresses like Brigette Bardot and Farrah Fawcett. They are designed to enhance your best features and with a few modifications, curtain bangs can suit any face shape! For example, if you have a broader face, longer sweeping bangs can help create more of a diamond shape. Shorter bangs that pinch in at the temples can contour and create more defined cheekbones. Round faces are a little bit trickier because bangs emphasize roundness, but it does not mean it can’t be done.

2. Curtain bangs are pretty low maintenance:

This is probably one of the best features of curtain bangs. Because of their already effortless look, curtain bangs can be pretty low maintenance. You can let them get a little bit longer in between trims and they will still look fabulous. However, if you want them to be absolutely perfect, then we recommend you get them trimmed every 5-6 weeks.

3. The easiest way to style curtain bangs:

Like any other type of bang, curtain bangs require some effort, definitely not as much as others, but you still need to style them so they can look their best.

If you are using a hairdryer:

Part your hair down the middle and take about a 1-inch section close to your temples and use a 1-inch round brush. Blow-dry your bangs to the side to create that sweeping effect. If you blow-dry your bangs toward the front or straight, they’ll turn out puffy, and that’s not what you want.

If you are air-drying:

If you prefer to not use any heat, then it’s even easier! Part your hair down the middle, place your bangs as you want them and use a few creaseless clips to hold each side in place until they’re dry.

I hope these tips have helped you learn more about the latest hair trend this year and If you’ve been thinking about curtain bangs and are still not sure or if you have any questions, we invite you to come in for a consultation at our salon. We take the time to speak to our clients and recommend the best styles to fit not just their faces, but also their lifestyle. Particularly when it comes to bangs, don’t just go to anyone, because the style of a great cut can be hard to imitate.

How to Keep Your Hair from Tangling

January 26, 2021 By //  by Karolin Leave a Comment

Tangling copy

How to Keep Your Hair from Tangling

Short hair or long hair, it does not matter, nobody likes to struggle with hair tangles. Running into the occasional knot as you run your fingers through your hair is totally normal, but if your hair is excessively tangled all the time, that can be a sign of a deeper hair issue. Fortunately, adding the right products and establishing a healthy hair care routine can make all the difference! Not only will you be able to control the tangled mess we all find so frustrating, but your hair will also look healthier and stronger!

WHY IS YOUR HAIR SO TANGLED?

Your hair can be tangling for several different reasons, these are usually the most common ones…

  • You have very thick and curly hair (If that’s the case, refer to our Curly Girl Method Blog)
  • Your hair is very dry and damaged
  • You sleep with your hair down
  • Your hair is very long and fine
  • You never brush your hair throughout the day (This does not apply to my curly hair girls as you should never ever brush throughout the day. Refer to Curly Girl Method Blog) 

HOW TO MINIMIZE TANGLING…

Promoting hydration will help keep tangles to a minimum in the long run. Using the right detangling brush and product will make your detangling nightmares go away and instead turn detangling into just another “treat yourself moment” in your hair care routine. Here are a few more recommendations…

1. Condition Your Hair

You always want to apply conditioner after you shampoo your hair. This will help lock in and restore moisture leaving it smooth and less likely to tangle. We also recommend applying a hair mask at least once a week to help keep your hair hydrated. 

2. Use a Good Detangling Brush

A good detangling brush is a big game-changer. We recommend The Ultimate Tangle Teezer because it has 325 unique teeth that flex over tangles and knots with every single stroke, hair is quickly detangled confidently whilst helping to reduce breakage. Start at the bottom of the knot, and patiently work your way up until it is combed out completely.

3. Use Detangling Spray

If your hair tangles a lot, adding a detangling spray to your brushing routine is a great idea. We highly recommend The Wizard by Amika. We love it because it’s a multi-benefit priming spray that detangles, cuts blow-dry time, and protects against thermal damage. Leaves the hair smooth, soft and radiant. We use it at the salon all the time, it’s fantastic. 

4. Protect Your Hair While You Sleep

The friction of your hair against the pillow can cause your hair to tangle while you sleep. We recommend tying your hair in a loose braid or a loose bun with a scrunchie before going to bed. Switching to silk pillowcases and even a silk scrunchie can also be beneficial. You can find great washable silk scrunchie for only $18 on this website Lunya.co

5. Use the Right Styling Products and Tools

Try to use heat less often to style your hair. We know this is a hard one to overcome, but heat can really dry your hair. If you are using heat, make sure you use the right products to protect your hair from the heat. Also, make sure you are using the right styling products to restore your hair and lock in moisture.  

If you need any help choosing the right products for your hair care routine, feel free to stop by at the salon! We can take a look at your hair and discuss what your goals are and recommend the best hair care routine for you. As your hair and the weather changes, your hair needs will change too, so make sure you are always applying the products your hair needs.

Now take all these tips and go detangle your hair…it no longer has to feel like a mission. Wash your hair, play an audio book, light up a nice scented candle and start working through those knots little by little giving your hair all the love it needs!

Magic Sleek VS. Proaddiction? Which Hair Smoothing Treatment is Best for you?

January 22, 2021 By //  by Karolin Leave a Comment

Magic Sleek Proaddiction (1)

MAGIC SLEEK VS. PROADDICTION? WHICH HAIR SMOOTHING TREATMENT IS BEST FOR YOU? 

We get a lot of questions from clients looking for a smoothing treatment, specially with the South Florida humidity, smoothing treatments are becoming more and more popular. One of the most frequently asked question we get is “What’s the difference between Magic Sleek and Proaddiction?” Or better yet, “Should I get Magic Sleek or Proaddiction?”. Well, keep on reading as we are here to break it all down for you…

It’s easy to get confused as both of these treatments are great smoothing treatments that are formaldehyde-free, and toxin-free. They are both a better option than Keratin because they will not damage your hair like the Keratin treatment will. The main difference lies in the type of results you are looking for and your preference for hair styling.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST? MAGIC SLEEK VS. PROADDICTION…

Magic Sleek can last 4 to 6 months depending on your hair growth. This treatment does not wash out, so as your hair starts to grow, you can reapply Magic Sleek to refresh it. 

Proaddiction lasts about 4 months, and it depends on how often you wash your hair since this treatment does wash off. After 4 months, you can go back to your natural hair.

STYLING MAGIC SLEEK VS. PROADDICTION…

Magic Sleek allows you to style your hair effortlessly. Every time you wash your hair after Magic Sleek, your hair will dry straight and smooth without the need of heat or brushes. It’s absolutely magical and if you’d like to have straight, frizz-free hair all the time without having to use a blow dryer or flat iron to accomplish that, then Magic Sleek is the treatment for you! After Magic Sleek, your hair will always dry straight, so if you want to add some waves to your hair, you will have to do so with a curling iron. 

Proaddiction has multiple uses and it is not limited to straightening hair. You can use Proaddiction to enhance natural curls and remove frizz, make your hair silky smooth and frizz-free, or simply completely straighten your hair. If you tend to change your hairstyle often, or if you like straight hair for a few days and maybe wear your natural curls on other days, then Proaddiction is a better choice for you. 

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SMOOTHING TREATMENT

The best way to figure out which smoothing treatment is best for you is by coming in for a consultation and discussing it with your stylist. We will be able to discuss your goals, see your hair texture, and determine which treatment is the best choice for your hair. Both of these treatments are amazing, but as you can see, it all depends on what you are looking to accomplish with the smoothing treatment. Both of these treatments are completely safe, toxin-free, and we stand by them with 100% confidence that you will love the results! 

If you want to book a consultation with one of our stylist, you can BOOK ONLINE or call the salon at 954-533-0389

How This Towel Turban Can Change Your Life

Towel Turban Blog

HOW THIS TOWEL TURBAN CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE…

While the title of this article might sound like an exaggeration…we are not joking! Adding this towel turban to your hair care routine really is life changing! Healthier and stronger hair is only a few steps away so keep reading!

WET HAIR IS WEAK HAIR

Every time you wet your hair, every strand’s cuticle expands, opening it to damage. This means that the way you choose to dry your hair plays a huge role in keeping it strong and healthy.  Blow dryers should be used for styling and gentle hair turbans should be used for drying. The towel turban eliminates friction when drying and allows your hair cuticle to stay intact and lock in moisture.

NOT ALL TOWEL TURBANS ARE THE SAME

Choosing a high quality towel turban is important and you will notice a significant difference in the time that it takes for your hair to dry, the texture of your hair, and more.  Here at the salon, we only recommend products that we use, have tried and loved. Our favorite hair turban is the AQUIS Original Lisse Hair Turban.

WHAT MAKES THIS TURBAN BETTER THAN OTHERS?

  • Dries your hair 50% faster than any other method.
  • It’s a gentle and natural solution to dry your hair.
  • It’s made with proprietary moisture-wicking fabric.
  • This material helps your hair get stronger, healthier, and reduces frizz!
  • Hands free hair drying! The button/loop closure keeps it securely in place. Multi-task all you want!

Using this hair turban regularly will make a big difference.  Avoiding friction and heat is key to keeping your hair strands smooth, strong, and hydrated! Want one? You can order one from our online store here: AQUIS Original Lisse Hair Turban and we can ship it to your doorstep or you can pick it up at our salon!

National Purple Day – Purple Everything!

March 26, 2020 By //  by Karolin Leave a Comment

Purple Day Pic

March 26th is National Purple Day – Epilepsy Awareness Day.  It’s a day that aims to increase the public’s knowledge of a neurological condition affecting nearly 50 million people worldwide.  Here at the salon we love being involved with our community and with many non-profits to help in any way we can.  We believe in the power of community, we believe in the power of love, and most importantly, on National Purple Day and every other day, we believe in the power of the color purple!

 

Significance of the color purple and Nirvana:

Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. This combination screamed loud and clear what we wanted to bring to our clients and what our hearts wanted Salon Nirvana 954 to be; a place of Zen, calm, and tranquility for our clients combined with the most fierce, creative and professional staff. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, creativity, wisdom, dignity, devotion, peace, independence, and magic! I guess that sums it up…this color is magic.

 

Purple is the color of imagination and spirituality:

Being a part of a creative industry for so many years, it has always been important to us to maintain a high spiritual connection with ourselves and with what we do.  The color purple relates to the imagination and spirituality. It stimulates the imagination and inspires high ideals. It is an introspective color, allowing us to get in touch with our deeper thoughts. Purple encourages creative pursuits and seeks inspiration and originality through its creative endeavors. It likes to be unique, individual and independent, not one of the crowd.

 

The Color Purple in Business:

Aside from the deep spiritual connection we felt with the color purple, we also learned that it’s psychological effect in business was also very much aligned with our business goals. Physiologically, it heightens people’s sense of beauty and their reaction to more creative ideas.

It is often used to denote a high quality or superior product which is exactly what we are here to offer.

As you can see, we didn’t just randomly pick the color purple for our business because we liked it (Especially me, for those who know me, I’m a redhead and I clash with purple lol).  We felt connected to this color from the very beginning and now you can see it everywhere in our salon, from our big purple wall with the Buddha mural, to our towels, our logo, and more.

So, we would like to invite you to join our purple addiction for a day.  It’s National Purple Day and let’s help spread awareness for Epilepsy. Today is purple day, tomorrow is another day, keep the positivity going! Find a way to get involved with your community, help your neighbor, be kind to one another, find a way to make a difference.  If you need help finding a non-profit or organization to work with, feel free to email us! We work with many local non-profits that can always benefit from help!

With love,

Salon Nirvana 954.

How to Wash Your Hair When You Have Hair Extensions

March 3, 2020 By //  by Karolin Leave a Comment

Hair Extension Wash

Hair extensions are a beautiful thing.  They take your hair game to a whole new level, not only does your hair look longer, but it also looks fuller and alive. However, getting hair extensions is a commitment and you actually have to take care of your hair.  The way you brush your hair changes, how you treat your scalp, and of course, how you wash your hair.  Sounds like a lot, but once those extensions are in and you realize you are now a hair goddess, you’ll know all the effort is well worth it 😉 Here we will cover some basic FAQ’s we get at the salon all the time from clients getting hair extensions for the first time.

How Often Should You Wash Your Hair with Hair Extensions?

Some people are under the impression that the less they wash their hair, the longer their extensions will last, that’s not true at all. Hair extensions are usually applied with a small bead, so any products containing oil and any excess oil build up will make the extensions slip out. So, it is recommended that you wash your hair more rather than less to avoid oil buildup, especially if you already have naturally oily hair.

Do I Need Additional Prep Before My Shower?

There is no special prep needed before your shower.  At the salon we strictly use 100% human Slavic hair and as long as you are using high quality hair extensions, you should have nothing to worry about.

What Products Should I Use?

Sulfate-free is absolutely the way to go.  These products don’t create as much lather in the shower, but don’t worry because they still get the job done and they maintain the integrity of your extensions. You’ll want to avoid oils, extracts, hydrolyzed silk, wheat protein, or silicone. All of the above will make the extensions slip out. 

Do I Scrub Hard/Gentle?

This depends on the type of hair extensions you get since they will require a different scrubbing approach. For example:

If you have Weft Hair Extensions: Clean thoroughly but gently to avoid tangling.  You want to make sure your fingers are scrubbing the scalp in between the wefts to avoid tangling your extension and pulling them out.

Keratin bonding:  You need to wash your scalp and still avoid tangling them before conditioning.  However, make sure to really scrub and get in there to remove any oil buildup as the oil can make the beads slip. Go hard or go home.

Do I Condition My Hair Even Though It’s Not Actually My Hair? 

Yes, your extensions need to be conditioned just like your own hair.  Just make sure you are conditioning from mid-length and definitely make sure you don’t apply conditioner on the attachments. 

How Do I Dry My Hair with Hair Extensions?

Because we use 100% human hair, you need to take care of it as if it was your own.  So products are important.  Blow dry section by section. Always keeping the airflow in the direction of the cuticle to eliminate frizz and make sure you use a nozzle (please tell me you have a nozzle on your blow dryer lol). Blow dry your hair, then blow dry your extensions, then your hair and so on…

We hope you find all this information helpful so you can maintain your beautiful hair extensions for as long as possible.  If you have any more questions or would like to set up a consultation for hair extensions, simply give us a call (954) 533-0389.  There is no cost associated with consultations.

The Curly Girl Method – A How-to-Guide

January 27, 2020 By //  by Karolin Leave a Comment

 

The Curly Girl Method or CGM has become increasingly popular given that it is the holy grail of hair care routines for beautiful, perfect, fresh out of the salon curls! Every curly girl has had to experience frizz, uneven texture, damage, and even a loss of curl over time. While properly treated and styled curly hair looks stunning, you must know that in order to achieve that, you need to give your hair the time, love, and attention it needs and the CGM is exactly that!

Give this hair care routine a try and we promise that not only will your curls thank you forever, but your hair care routine will become easier and your curls will ALWAYS look effortlessly perfect. Isn’t that every curly girl’s dream? Well, let’s dive in step-by-step into the Curly Girl Method.

STEP 1: Clarifying Wash OR “Final Wash”

This first wash will prep your hair to start the CGM. You want to use a clarifying shampoo to thoroughly cleanse your hair before conditioning. Make sure you wash your scalp really well to remove any product build-up. Once you rinse out the shampoo, you are ready for conditioner. Make sure you only use your fingers to detangle your hair, do not use a comb or a brush since that will only stretch out your curls even more. This process is done once or twice a month.

STEP 2: Co-Wash

Once you have completed your Clarifying wash, you are ready for the Co-Wash. This is how you will wash your hair from this point forward until it’s time for a “Reset Wash” with clarifying shampoo again. Co-washing is basically washing your hair with a clarifying conditioner instead of shampoo. Simply massage the conditioner throughout your scalp just like you would shampoo using your fingertips.

STEP 3: Conditioning (If needed)

After Co-Wash, if you feel that your hair needs additional moisture, you can condition your hair with a thicker and richer conditioner than the one you used for Co-Wash. Yup, that means you need two different conditioners. Use this step to moisturize your hair and detangle your hair using your fingers. Rinse out the conditioner and you are ready to move on to the styling step!

Step 4: Styling Your Curly Hair

Begin your hairstyling in the shower! Applying your curling products with soaking wet hair will yield the best results. It sounds crazy, but we promise it makes all the difference. At the salon, we use a variety of products prescribed for your specific curly needs. If you have more questions about curly girl recommended products, we have a whole blog about that too, simply Click Here.

Step 5: Drying

Once you have applied your hair styling products use a microfiber towel or a cotton t-shirt and squeeze the excess water out of your hair and wrap your hair.  Then, you can air dry or use a diffuser to dry your hair. Do not play with your curls! We get it, they look so pretty it’s hard not to want to touch them but leave them alone.

Refreshing Your Hair

You may be wondering how to keep your curls looking beautiful for more than one day.  It’s pretty simple, use a refreshing product to avoid rewetting your curl. It’s all about refresh, not rewet and we have a variety of next day curl refreshing products available at the salon.

Continue Co-Washing your hair until you feel it is time for a “Reset Wash” and simply repeat Step 1. For wavy hair, you will probably need to cleanse about twice a month, while for coily hair it will be strictly when you really must (maybe once a month).

Like any new routine, give your hair time to adapt! It might be a little weird at first since the thought of ditching shampoo can be a little scary.  Trust the process and we promise the results are life-changing!

Let us know if you gave this a try!  Tag us on social media @salonnirvana954. We would love to follow your curly girl journey J Remember we are always available for a complimentary consultation.

Must Do’s and Absolute Don’ts for Beautiful Wavy/Curly Hair

January 27, 2020 By //  by Karolin Leave a Comment

 

Gorgeous, healthy, wavy/curly hair does not happen by accident. In fact, wavy/curly hair has very different moisture needs, and great wavy/curly hair takes work! It all starts with understanding some of the basics like what products serve your hair and which ones don’t.  Making a few changes in your hair care routine and the products you are using can go a very long way.  So here is a quick list of products and ingredients that contribute to making and keeping your hair healthy as well as some that you should absolutely avoid. We also touch upon certain styling rules to follow to make sure you are treating your hair with the utmost love and respect 😉

Must Do’s for Wavy/Curly Hair:

Moisture plays a very important role in keeping your hair looking its best. Try to use products that contain humectants. Look for moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera, glycerin, and amino acids. At our salon, we have a variety of curly hair approved products that we love and trust.  During a free consultation, we analyze your type of curl and what your hair is lacking, and we prescribe the perfect product combination for your curly hair.

Find a cleansing conditioner to wash your hair. Washing your hair when you have wavy/curly hair is a very different process because you don’t want to wash out natural oils that are essential for the moisture of your hair. If you want to learn more about The Curly Girl Method for washing your hair, we have a step-by-step guide HERE.

Absolute Don’ts for Wavy/Curly Hair:

Say goodbye to your combs and brushes! Stay away from anything that messes with your natural curl pattern.  You want to detangle your hair in the shower with conditioner and use your fingers only. Once your hair is dry, don’t run your fingers through your hair to move it around because you will disrupt your curl pattern.  Instead, grab the section of your hair you want to move and scrunch it up.

Stay away from products that contain alcohol or artificial fragrance because they can dry out your hair and you definitely want to stay clear of sulfates and silicones. Choosing the right products to take care of your hair makes a big difference.  Curly/wavy hair needs moisture, so you want to stay away from products that strip the natural oils out of your hair or dry out your hair.

Oils are another category curly hair girls should stay away from.  While a lot of people use oils to make their hair shiny and think they are adding moisture to their hair, oils actually do the complete opposite. Oils repel water don’t allow your hair to absorb moisture.

If you have any questions regarding products, and how to take proper care of your hair you can always give us a call and set up a one on one with our curly hair specialist.  At our salon, you will find a large variety of products we love and trust and we are happy to help you find the right products for your hair.
