How to Hollywood Wave Hair

Retro waves are no longer retro, they are timeless. Karen Angel is the queen of the wave. Here is her how to achieve the perfect, glossy wave. Like Kelly Brooke, English TV personality.

Step One:

Shampoo and condition your hair, with a smoothing product. Giti, one of Panache and Co.Salons Technical Directors Said; Use Tigi’s Urban Anti-dotes 2 Recovery. She loves the moisture it gives the hair.

Step Two:

Towel dry by blotting and squeezing the hair so you don’t rough the cuticle up. Do Not rub dry the hair, it creates more frizz! Next apply Moroccan oil Treatment from the mid-lengths to ends to even out your hair’s porosity and add shine. A good mousse, Catwalks Strong Mousse is a favorite. Dry you hair with a medium round brush to create body in your hair, starting from the top and front of the head pinning each dry section into roller-like set as you go.

Step Three: Your favorite side is where your going to place in you glossy wave, ladies choice. Release the pined hair, use a 1in” curling iron, starting about 1” away from the scalp heat your two fingers wide section down to the ends to heat the hair up for a better hold. Go back to the base of your hair roll in and start to feed the hair around the barrel of the iron, hold for a count of 10, pin in a roll. Continue horizontal sections down your head, pinning after you curl. Allow your hair to cool then release your sections.

Now make a part using the corner of your eye as your guide, place your hair behind left ear to create a fall on the other side. Brush the curl side into smooth waves. Use a light spray that layers I use Session Series Work it spray. Hold out and mist, let it dry and mist again.

Results: Soft, Shiny and touchable hair.

Wedding Day Prep

I've had my big day and will cherish it forever. I do remember how I felt, everything had to be the way I had dreamt about; the dress, shoes, wedding location and THE HAIR. The hair had to be glossy, long with natural waves, thick and healthy looking.

Something like this:

At the time I was using Lenore Greyl Jasmine Masque and I still do. Had Martha Stewart Weddings magazine been written the year I was married about L Oreal’s Fiberceutic Treatment, I would have used that. Oh then the recent issue of More Magazine mentioned the in-store treatment stating: We have our “fountain of oomph” It leaves the hair stronger and shinier with a velvet touch.

More Magazine

If you follow this blog you can see I’m seriously obsessed with beauty, beauty treatment and all things beautiful. Which is why after reading these two magazine reviews on Serie Expert Fiberceutic, I've decided to get the in-store treatment after my color. 

L Oreal Professional

So the treatment is quite the RX experience. After a thorough cleansing my hair was then carefully towel dried to remove the excess moisture so it does not delude the potency of the treatment. A syringe was then used to apply to small, controlled sections of my hair. This was methodically worked down the hair, so as to penetrate into the cortex (inside) of the hair and insure the rebuild would take. On to the waiting, I was not great with the wait, however it was less painful because of the fantastic scalp massage that I was given! The Salon needs to give my husband a lesson on scalp massage.

If you haven’t noticed, I hate drying my own hair! So I always book my bombshell blowouts after treatments or color. It feels like the softest bunny fur ever, but it still has volume. As part of the complete treatment I bought the at home masque for fine hair to prolong the protection from further damage and the soft, volume I’m experiencing. My over all thoughts I Love It. You must try it! The in-store treatment was only $35.00; this did not include my color and bombshell blowout.

Update Your Haircut and A Fresh New Youth

A new hairstyle can bring a fresh youthful change to the way you feel and look.

I recently went from this to this. Yes I did a 360!

So if you’re that long haired client who's afraid to cut your hair, why not try adding some fringe like Minka Kelly recently did or a side-swept fringe? Any face framing change will brighten up what maybe a style rut.

If you’re ready for a big change take a look a Karlie Kloss's new look. Major fashion mags and designer have been using short wigs over the last few seasons which are now showing up in the general public's wants and desires list from their stylist.

Remember as a client your fringe trims are free

Cold weather, the use of heating tools and hot water showers, can rob your hair and skin of essential moisture needed.  
Panache Salon is now using the Reborn system which has 3 journeys for hair needs. 
Panache and Co. Salon is 1 of only 99 salon nation wide accepted by TiGi to use this fabulous product. I’m using the Awakening and the Resurgence journeys. With the dry weather I need the 400% moisture this product boast. I've had great results with the Awakening which strengthen my blondish hair.

This is definitely a luxe product the feel is creamy and the smell is Watermint and Honeysuckle, very light and spa like. Its feature Ingredient is MicroMairne tm compound (sea kelp, aloe, babassu oil, green tea) this combo is high in lipid content which is essential for healthy hair.
 So I’m having the In-salon Reborn treatment done to boost the effect of my at home routine, the shine and hydration last 7 days. The massage is out of this world I just love the tension melting away.

 Check out this fun video No salad at the salon but a nice wine or tea is included in the service.

 Can you say  "putty in my stylist hands"  I then get one of the Bombshell Blowout for $35.00 and ask for a complimentary makeup touch up if a makeup person has the time. Then off to dinner with the family.

A Change of Style: Open Discussion

So a few weeks ago I bobbed my hair and colored it to look like Nicole Kidman’s in this photo.

Well now L'Oreal has come out with the Retro Nouveau collection, WOW! Do I love the look of the colors and some of the cuts! My question is do I go for the Copper Siren – add clip in hair extensions or do I do the cropped Blonde Ingenue? The extensions or the cut are a breeze, Karen Angel can make either happen and the color, one of our fabulous Panache stylist will do the great job, they always do. The girls are always there for me and my every changing hair.

This youtube video is a fun glimpse of the collection. 

Hope you enjoy and be sure to comment back which look is your favorite or which one you would choose for me.  I can’t wait to see the comments.

Blown out winter white vs the butter blonde

The ever popular toe head is a Cali staple. “I need to be brighter” is the mantra when entering the salon. Well with all that processing hair becomes weak, fragile, dull and airy.

We got to experience 1^st hand the power of L'Oreal Dia light demi- permanents, ability to transform our blown out winter white blonde, similar to Taylor Momsen of Gossip Girl to the beautiful butter color. 

Balayage technique was used to low light in some contrasting pieces to create dimension to the cut, then root shading  to give the appearance of thick hair, topped off  with an all over Photo Gloss to the hair to resurface  the hair with shine. The Photo Gloss is my favorite, who doesn't want glossy locks; it’s so shiny it’s like vinyl!

The over all look The New Blonde- butter, honey goodness similar to that of Blake Lively. The ends of her hair sealed down and according to the L’Oreal educator will have a lasting effect when the proper prescribed professional product system is used. 

via goggle

If your thinking of a color change you blondes out there, then let this be a option for you and Don’t forget the Photo Gloss for the vinyl like shine.
