When you get your new short style, talk to your stylist about how to do your own hair. Ask what you can do at home to keep it looking fabulous.
If you are too shy to ask, here are a few great tips to do at home.

Tip #1 - Always use a professional shampoo and conditioner. Professional shampoos are formulated to make our hair look it's best. They have the finest ingredients and do not have harsh chemicals that can damage and dry out your hair.

Tip #2 - After shampooing and conditioning your hair, make sure you rinse thoroughly. I know it sounds so simple but you would be surprised how many people leave residue of shampoo and conditioner in their hair and leaving the residue can cause unnecessary weight to the hair and can leave a film on the hair.

Tip #3 - Towel dry very well. When you towel dry your hair correctly, it will cut the drying time in half.

Tip #4 - Apply styling product to your damp hair. Use a gel or a mousse to create control and volume. You may also use a smoothing serum to tame the frizz.

Tip #5 - Use a round brush or a vented brush and a quality blow dryer when styling your hair. Have an idea of which direction you want your hair to go and start to section your hair (even if its short) start from the bottom and work your way to the top in small sections using the round brush. Wrap your hair around the round brush and pull from the root out. Do this is a fluid motion, to get the most volume, put the dryer nozzle on your wrapped hair and follow it through to the end. Do this several times in the one section until it is completely dry. Then move to the next section.

Tip #6 - After your hair is completely dry. Use your finishing styling products. Using a styling product is one of the most important things you will do when your hair is short because it helps you mold and separate your style into a masterpiece! Have fun with your styling products. When applying molding paste make sure you use just a little and emulsify it into your hands first before you start to piece it out.
