What You Must Know About Hairsprays

Hairspray, also called hair lacquer or spritz, is a cosmetic product sprayed onto hair to keep hair in a certain style or to make it stiff. They can be dispensed via an aerosol or non-aerosol form. Experts say that non-aerosol sprays are best for curly hair, locking in their shape and texture. They are also more environmentally friendly. Aerosols, on the other hand, are best as the finishing hold on a smooth or a blown-out style.

When you look at the labels on hairsprays, you’ll note the terms “light hold,” “medium hold,” or “freeze hold.” They actually don’t refer to the way the spray will hold hair, but rather to the type of hair they are best for. So if your hair is fine, go for the light hold. Medium hold is best for medium to thick hair, while the freeze hold works best on thick hair.

A quality hair spray should be able to hold hair in place and keep it glossy, without flaking off. It should not fail in humid conditions, and can be washed out of the hair easily for at least 48 hours. Good brands should be non-clogging in the nozzle, should dry quickly, and remain waterproof until it is washed out of the hair without leaving residue.

Hairspray can also be nourishing for hair especially if it contains ingredients that invigorate and repair hair. Some formulas can hydrate hair while fighting humidity. Some sprays include vitamins like tocopherols (Vitamin E) or panthenol, which is metabolized in the skin to become vitamin B. Over Others incorporate moisturizers that prevent damage during combing.

If used as directed, hairsprays are safe products. Irritating effects are minor with unintentional eye contact, inhalation, or ingestion of small amounts. However, deliberate swallowing and inhaling the mist can prove dangerous, as well as keeping the pressurized aerosol cans under high temperatures, as their contents are flammable. Nonetheless, this hair essential is a safe and useful tool for styling for both clients and stylists.

Keeping Hair In Place in Bellevue

Geena Moon hair salon uses only safe and proven organic products for treatment and hair care. Geena uses Loma’s Finishing Hairspray or the Loma Firm Hold formula for that perfect lockdown of your hairstyle without the irritating effects nor any buildup or flaking. It’s a natural way to approach hair.

What’s The Truth About Leave-In Conditioners?

Leave-in hair conditioners are an option for a badly damaged hair, but actually anyone can use such a product to have that smooth, glossy hair throughout the day. Leave-in conditioners are of a creamy consistency, massaged into hair and left in to protect and smooth the hair.

They coat the hair shafts with various chemicals that act as a protective barrier against the outside elements. Commonly used conditioning ingredient is D-panthenol, found in most conditioners.

D-panthenol is Pro Vitamin B5, the alcohol form of vitamin B5. And did you know that vitamin B5 (also called pantothenic acid) has natural broad abilities to moisturize, soothe, heal and regenerate the skin? This also includes hair. The vitamin has a water-binding ability that attracts and retains water.

Apart from moisturizing dry hair and protecting hair from damaging elements like sunlight, leave-in conditioners make hair manageable and ready for styling, adds shine to color-dyed hair, combats frizz and detangles knots.

Unlike a regular conditioner that you rinse out after a shampoo, a leave-in conditioner stays on hair until the next washing. There are other forms of it other than thick creams, like liquids and sprays, and lightweight formulas to use in between shampoos just to restore moisture. Though both a leave-in and a rinse-out conditioner retain moisture and soften hair, they are formulated differently and should be used in a different way.

Leave-in formulas stay in the hair for a significant period of time without rinsing. They are applied to towel-dried hair, not wet, and in smaller amounts than rinse-out conditioners. More watery and much lighter in consistency than regular conditioners, they don’t weigh down hair even as they serve as detanglers, stylers, and heat protectants.

And compared to regular conditioners, leave-in formulas contain high levels of vitamin B5, that which attracts and retains water in the hair. They also contain more glycerin that keeps hair hydrated and lubricated, and volatile silicones, which provide hair shine and smoothness.

The choice of a good leave-in conditioner brand and form for you is important. So ask your stylist about it.

More Hair Myths and Almost-Myths

Here are more interesting sayings about hair and hair products you might have encountered.

Tight ponytails can lead to hair fall.
Yes, when you always wear your hair up in tight ponytails, tight braids, severe top knots, including prolonged wearing of hair extensions, you are creating tension in your hair. When hair follicles are constantly stretched, they are liable to snap, leading to hair loss. Do enjoy this updo trend, but occasionally only.

Air-drying hair is better than blow-drying.
True. Air-drying is a healthier option than applying heat to dry your hair. However, air-drying hair can cause damage within the strands themselves. How? In case you expose your hair to water for extended periods, hair swells up as water molecules put pressure on the protein inside.That is why they break easily while wet. Try air-drying about more than half the time to get hair dry, then apply low heat blow-dry to finish.

Shampoos that lather clean hair better.
Not necessarily. We love shampoos that foam a lot, associating them with cleaner hair. Shampoo’s foaming agent, sulfate, can cause possible harmful effects, though it has been cleared by the American Cancer Society. Sulfates in shampoo can fade the color in your dyed hair, though. To be on the safe side, prefer a sulfate-free shampoo. If it has glycerin for a sudsy effect, that’ll be a safe choice, too.

Wearing hats can cause hair loss.
You probably think so because you’d always observe strands under your hat or bonnet. It’s another old wives’ tale that hats or caps snuff out blood circulation to the scalp, leading to hair loss. Most men’s hair loss is genetics, like male pattern baldness. It’s got nothing to do with hats.

Hair-dye while pregnant is bad for the baby.
The reason dyeing your hair while pregnant is not advisable has nothing to do with the scalp absorbing the dye and affecting your baby. The main concern is breathing in ammonia which is present in hair coloring. But since the amount of ammonia in dyes are so low and that most salons have industrial ventilation, it should not cause problems for pregnant women. However, the safer option is natural, like henna which is ammonia-free, prefered by pregnant moms.

Proving Hair Myths Wrong

Check out a few things you’ve always known about hair. Some might just be old wive’s tales but are they really helping? In pursuit of gorgeous, healthy hair, you pursue everyday habits you thought all along benefit your locks. Do they really? It’s good to do a real research and find out if you’re not actually wasting time.

Trimming your hair frequently makes them grow faster. Actually, it doesn’t. Hair growth happens at the root tips in your scalp, not at the ends. Experts recommend hair cutting every 6 to 8 weeks to remove split or frayed ends. This makes hair look fuller so that you think you are growing hair faster.

Dandruff indicates a dry scalp. This is not so. A certain type of yeast causes dandruff and it grows in an oily environment, not dry. So instead of washing your hair everyday, which will cause hair to be dry, choose a medicated shampoo that is specific for dandruff.

Plucking out a gray hair will produce more gray hairs. This is not true. Gray hair growing and multiplying has nothing to do with plucking. But it doesn’t mean you can launch a full blown war against your grays by plucking incessantly. It will make your grays weaker until they don’t grow back anymore. What to do? You either celebrate your grays or go for a coloring.

More brushing makes hair healthier. Yes and no. Yes, brushing distributes the natural oils evenly on the hair, making them shiny. But overdoing it is not good, certainly not 100 times a day. Too much brushing can cause friction and frizz and breakage in the long run. Too frequent brushing can destroy the hair cuticle.

Hair need not be washed everyday. That depends on your hair and scalp condition. Everyone’s hair is different. If your hair is really oily at the roots washing everyday can control the greasiness. However, there are people who like to keep a certain oiliness in their hair, so they don’t wash everyday. If you have dry scalp, washing every other day or when your hair already feels greasy should be alright. But choose a good shampoo for such condition.

Foods That Transform Hair

The correct balance of vitamins and minerals from certain foods prove great for hair. If you want to transform your hair from dull to shiny, limp to full, weak to strong, then better know what you should be eating to attain that magical transformation.

Since hair is more protein than anything, be sure you have enough of protein in your diet. Dry, weak and brittle hair is terribly lacking in this mineral. The best sources for protein are found in chicken, turkey, fish, dairy products and eggs. Vegetarian sources for protein, on the other hand, are legumes and nuts.

Now if you are suffering from hair loss, your hair might not be getting enough iron. Too little of iron is a major cause of loss of hair. When iron levels fall below a certain point, you may experience anaemia, which in turn deprives the hair follicle of this nutrient supply. A diet lacking in iron affects the hair growth cycle, resulting in shedding. Red meat, chicken and fish are sources of iron, while vegetarian sources are lentils, spinach and other leafy green vegetables such as broccoli, kale and salad greens.

To help iron’s absorption in the body, you must accompany it with vitamin C which helps in the production of collagen that strengthens the capillaries that supply the hair shafts. Blackcurrants, blueberries, broccoli, guava, kiwi fruits, oranges, papaya, strawberries and sweet potatoes are great vitamin C sources.

Did you know that omega-3 fatty acids are found in the cells that line the scalp and provide the oils that keep your scalp and hair hydrated? So to keep away from dry and brittle hair and go for oily fish such as salmon, herring, sardines, trout and mackerel and plant sources like avocado, pumpkin seeds and walnuts.

Sebum, an oily substance created by our hairs sebaceous glands, provides a natural conditioner for a healthy scalp. Without sebum, scalp can become itchy and hair dry. It is vitamin A that is needed to make sebum. In turn, beta-carotene, found in animal products and orange/yellow coloured vegetables such as carrots, pumpkins and sweet potatoes, makes vitamin A.

Fortified cereals, wholegrains, oysters, beef and eggs are your sources for zinc. The lack of it can lead to hair loss and dry, flaky scalp. Vitamin E provides hair protection from sun damage and nuts provide lots of vitamin E, including zinc and selenium. On the other hand, biotin-rich foods such as wholegrains, liver, egg yolk, soy flour and yeast are helpful to prevent brittle hair and hair loss.

Your hair salon in Bellevue believes that healthy hair doesn’t just happen. Nourished with the right foods, hair can truly be one’s crowning glory – healthy, lustrous, and strong.

Amazing Transformations for Limp Hair

Many women with thin hair think they’ll only be able to sport movie star locks after a hair job at the salon. How true that they’ll soon lose the volume in daily wear, back to square one in no time. It’s the bane of being born with thin hair. Luxurious hair is a dream; there are so many styles you can put it through. But you see, the key to a truly effortless stylish look is in the right haircut. Even if your hair is lacking in thickness and density, a good stylist can come up with breathtaking styles to make them appear thicker than they really are.

If not styled correctly, thin hair can look lifeless and boring. You can pump up the volume of your locks with a short layered bob haircut. With texture and color, thin hair can transform – choppy layers can boost volume while dark roots against a lighter shade of your shafts can give the illusion of density.

Pay attention to the line where your hair ends fall. If you put too many layers around the ends, your hair can look too light and wispy. Harp lines like blunt or chopped cuts create can make them look denser.

You’d love the nineties classic bob on thin air. The spunky retro bob adds volume all over the crown of your head. A side partition creates bangs that fall over half your forehead and further adds volume. The layered bob haircut is a variation, no longer nineties, that you’ll also love. Layered at the sides, the parted bob is inspiring, especially with the added dimension of dark roots contrasting with light shades.

For shoulder-length hair, large loose waves is a volume-booster while keeping the ends free of curls. For longer hair, layering and an ombre color enhance texture and dimension.

Transform Thin to Terrific at Geena Moon Hair Salon

These are just some of the techniques that are flattering for thin hair. Variations of the same are many. It just takes a good stylist, if you find one, who can play wonders for thin hair. Come by our Bellevue hair salon and see what we’re talking about.

Is Dry Haircut Better than a Wet Haircut?

A dry cut is a type of haircut done on dry hair, preferred by some stylists for certain types of hair or to easily achieve certain styles. For example, curly hair is more amenable to a dry cut. There are not many salons that specialize in the dry cut. You can’t go to just any hair dresser for it. It’s a non-traditional technique, which means it might take some asking around to find a stylist with the right experience.

As is the usual, a haircut begins after a shampoo and conditioner treatment and after some toweling off, your stylist begins cutting your wet hair. A dry cut is done on completely or mostly dry hair in order to give the stylist a clear picture of what the cut will look like when hair is not wet. Saturated with water, hair’s curls and waves will change shape, stretching out due to the additional weight of the water. With a dry cut, the stylist can easily see the shape and pattern of the curls, as well as know the length of hair when it is dry and curly.

Is one technique better than the other? That depends on several factors. If your hair is thin and straight with a blunt edge, it can usually be trimmed easily when it’s wet. Wet hair is longer, so your stylist needs to adjust for any shrinkage when the hair dries. There must be at least an inch of allowance if cutting blunt bangs.

It’s always better to go back and trim a bit more than it is to have bangs that are too short. For thick, coarse or textured hair, a dry cut may be better. Hair’s different levels of porosity or wave/curl, will look very different dry than it does wet. There can be noticeable uneven sections after a haircut that goes from wet hair to dry.

Even with a dry cut, you may still not get a perfectly straight cut. Hair falls slightly differently every day, so what looks fantastic on your day at the salon might be a touch off the following day.

What Suits You Best? Ask Geena

When you come by for a haircut at Geena Moon’s, expect to get the best haircut suited for your hair type. Whether that be a dry or a wet cut, in our expert’s hands you will enjoy your salon treated hair the same way every day.

Tips in Proper Towel-Drying Hair

Sometimes you’d see in movies, even in short commercial ads, how people towel-dry their hair after a bath. What you don’t know is that this is one of those ways on how to end up with dull, frizzy hair.

Many people get it all wrong. So here are some tips to remember.

Rather than rub your hair or twist it in a towel or rub the towel over your head, be gentle but firm with wet hair by patting it with your towel. This way the hair shaft will lay flatter and a lot shinier when it dries. Hair looks tamer and manageable. There is a less chance of breakage, and hence, less split ends.

Do use more than one towel drying your hair, especially if you wear them long or if you have frizzy hair. The first towel will absorb much of the water, and even a high quality bath towel can only take so much wetness. You might just be wasting time using only one; you need a second towel to do the job. For shorter hair, a hand towel will suffice. Using a couple of towels lead to faster drying.

Use an anti-frizz or a moisturizing product if your hair tends to be frizzy after towel-drying. The use of such products is additional safeguards against frizzy hair. They will prevent breakage and weakening of shafts. Lastly, after drying hair, use an eco-friendly and healthy method of final hair drying – air dry your hair rather than blow dry it. Air drying allows hair to dry on its own. You’ll feel your hair is a lot softer and manageable, especially if with a little help from a styling gel.

Note how trained personnel in salons towel dry hair after a shampoo and conditioner, or when they get your hair wet and need to dry it. They pat your head and hair with towels, and not just one towel either. There’s an anti-frizz, moisturizer or styling gel as well, depending on your treatment. Blow drying or air drying are either done, again depending on the situation, but always handled professionally. Practicing this at home will encourage the habit. Your hair is healthier and happier.

Pampering Wet Hair in Bellevue

Even the seemingly simple task of towel-drying hair is serious business at Geena Moon’s. Your Bellevue hair salon pampers all customers by treating hair right, especially wet hair, when it’s at its most vulnerable.

What’s Spring’s New Look?

Spring is a great excuse to have a new hairdo. Sunshine and blue skies call for very relax and casual cuts that many pros advocate. Beauty routines are simplified to enable leisurely enjoyment of spring activities whilst looking fresh and cool.

Experts say to go light, a hairstyle that is lighter to carry around. Perhaps a razor should cut dry hair only around the face so the haircut looks grown in. Also a nice clean line on the perimeter of the hair should give it shape and compliment the height and shape of the wearer. And it’s not just the style, pros say to go light on color as well.

Others suggest mid-length cut with seamless layers for a light, fun and flirty spring look. The layers are cut dry with a point-cutting technique, making the cut tailored to hair type and face shape. Texture like curls, body waves, beach waves, and others should be added as texture is what gives the hair movement and a fuller silhouette.

How about a wash-and-go style? No-effort styling here, just wash and you go! It can even look sexy, it is easy and natural. This style is especially useful if you are trying to grow out one style and return to a more natural style.

Try the ‘slicing’ technique for a change. It’s the modern shag that makes anyone who wears it different, fresh and personal. It is for all hair types and textures. The use of a texturizing technique called “slicing” creates the shag’s signature movement. The technique removes bulk and adds movement.

Or go for a one-length cut, be your hair pin-straight locks or tight, messy curls. Layering them is not going to work and will be much harder to maintain. It’s the 2017 trend, much the opposite of 2016.

Bellevue Hair Salon Ready for Spring

You can choose any one of these recommendations depending on your hair type, facial shape and body type, and how you want to enjoy spring. Ask your stylist. Better go see Geena Moon and her hair salon in Bellevue. She’d give you tips for that new spring look.

What’s in a Good Everyday Shampoo?

Try the Loma Daily Shampoo; it’s a great everyday shampoo. And what sets it apart from others? It’s ingredients are certified organic, selected to enhance, protect, restore and repair the natural moisture balance of hair. Shampoo for everyday use must have no sulfates, parabens or glutens. Sulfates are acidic compounds that are powerful grease-cutters, causing the lather and suds in products. Parabens are preservatives and easily invade blood and urine.

Though there is no concrete evidence against their use, traces of which are found in some cancerous breast tumors. Glutens, on the other hand, are allergenics and can be risky for those who have celiac disease. This is how safe Loma Daily Shampoo is. It is also color-friendly so dyed hair will not wash out easily. It’s aromatic as well, lovely smelling pure orange and tangerine.

Loma Daily Shampoo has several key ingredients combined to provide a mix of safe and beneficial hair products. Do your shampoos have Aloe Vera Gel, the healing plant for skin and hair conditions? Does it have Jojoba Seed Oil, an instant moisturizer rich in vitamins B and E for protection from the elements? How about Quinoa Protein? It repairs damaged hair cuticle and provides shine and moisture. Panthenol is from the vitamin B group that provides moisture to hair; tocopherol is a vitamin E sunflower-based organic.

This everyday shampoo is ideal for dye-colored hair, having fennel seed and sunflower seed. Fennel seed prolongs all hair color vibrancy by killing excess peroxide and ammonia residue left over after coloring. Sunflower seed reduces the fading of all hair colors and helps to repair UV damage.

If your shampoo has these ingredients and none of the risky components mentioned, it is safe for daily use. Loma Daily Shampoo is one such conscientious personal care product. For best results, you can use its paired hair daily conditioner.

Dry Hair Reasons You Don’t Know About

Dry hair is a condition where the hair has been stripped of its natural oils. It is not a hair type, but a condition, which means it can be treated. Don’t just concern yourself with dry hair, but the condition of your scalp as well. Do you have these symptoms? Dry hair, dull hair, split ends, plaques, scales, itching scalp, redness, and yellow particles in your comb? Then you must have an altered scalp condition called seborrheic dermatitis, accompanied by dry hair and dandruff.

What is seborrheic dermatitis? It’s a chronic inflammation of the scalp characterized by redness and itching, with production of scales and excessive oil. There may be parts that are oily, some parts are dry. This condition is one of the causes of dry hair. Another is your diet. Have you been eating an unbalanced diet, lacking especially in vitamin B? Also note that if your body is going through specific hormonal changes brought about by pregnancy, menopause, taking contraceptives or undergoing chemotherapy, your hair can be affected. It can become dry and brittle or fall off. Stress and some other emotional life distress are psychological causes that can lead to the same hair condition.

Some of your hair routines may be to blame for your dry hair as well. You might be using the wrong shampoo, too strong or too frequently, that instead strips your locks of natural oils.

Are you having too many hair treatments?

Colorings, rebondings, relaxes, smoothenings, and other salon treatments can build up on your hair and cause weak strands. Damaging also are frequent and unguided use of hair sprays, dyes, grease, and leave-ons. And also examine how you handle your hair. There might be too much physical aggression in combing or brushing, drying and using heat for styling. These habits add up and dehydrate hair.

Lastly, the weather and environmental factors can be blamed as well for dryness. Shiftings producing low humidity, extreme cold, strong winds, including indoor heating can easily get your hair parched; so is too much soaking in the sun, chlorinated pools, and in beaches.

Debunking Hair Dryness in Bellevue Hair Salon

So now you know that dry hair is not a hair type, but a condition that is treatable. Ask Geena of your Bellevue hair salon about how best to keep dryness and brittleness away from hair.

Dare to Rock Gray Hair

Graying hair is the bane of men and women approaching maturity and who would want to be caught with their greys peeking out from under dark strands. All too soon, they get covered right away. That was some years back. But just a couple or so years now, gray is a trending hair color, seriously getting popular among colorists and stylists in major capitals of the world. Show business stars started the trend and proved the color edgy, head-turning, and glamorous.

Ladies and gents love it. As young girls have already experimented with pastel colors, it didn’t take long for gray to be counted as one of their favorites. Even mature women, and men for that matter, keep their grays and just style their hair to look more trendy.

Gray comes in a variety of hues and not just by itself. If you are not sure if you’ll like it, you can experiment with strands or give it a blonde touch or make it darker gray. Look stunning in black and gray shades with the help of balayage or go brave with silver and white hair highlights. A must have is the amazing gray ombre hair. It is Granny’s hair color, but when you wear it long, loose and wavy, it just turns heads. Gray looks incredible with soft waves, sleek chignons and short hair cuts.

While this silvery hue is suitable for all age range, however, it harmonizes well if you have a light skin tone and if you use makeup. It’s an extreme color but a natural one.

Trendy yet Natural with Gray at Geena Moon

Come to Geena Moon’s hair salon in Bellevue and experiment with this edgy hue. Geena is going to tell you a lot more about this trendy color and suggest the most flattering gray tone for you and the hairstyle that’ll bring out the personality you want the world to see.

The Long and Short of it

Women who wear their hair long and loose used to be called fabulous and sexy. They still are. Yet the short-haired style is still preferred by not a few and these women are just as fabulous-looking. There’s something about short hair that calls attention to the face – the eyes, complexion, the smile – that seem to jump out from under the crop and more of the person can be seen. In total perspective, the ladies exude freedom of movement, self-assurance, and whole lot of spunk.

Hence, that is why wearing it short requires girl courage. Most women fear that a short crop is losing a bit of femininity – no more braids, buns or ponytails.

A hairdresser’s proper cut, especially when with a complementing hue, can make a major difference between fabulous and plain or eye-catching and commonplace. There are many styles that are just great-looking on magazine models or popular movie stars but you must not forget that styles have to match facial features and personality for maximum impact. Stylists can tell you so for that’s just what they do everyday.

Your hair texture and skin complexion also play major parts in decision-making for short hair; even one’s neck size and body lines are considered. But make no mistake about it – it doesn’t mean that there are too many deterrents to sporting short hair. There are lots of things a girl can do with it. This 2017, short hairstyles are going to be in vogue. Don’t miss the opportunity to be fabulous.

Understanding Hair Toning

A hair toner is a product that is used on bleached hair to rid it of the unsightly and uneven brassy yellow, orange, and yellow-orange tones characteristic of bleaching. The product is usually purple- blue tinted and when applied hair transforms to that ashy or platinum color that is much more natural-looking and healthy.

Acting like a topcoat, toners fill out hair’s porosity and give it more shine and luster enabling the color to last longer. They will change the undertone of a hair color, but do not lift the shade. Hence, they are meant for bleached or blonde hair and will not work on darker hair. It can also be used on highlights for that seamless transition from roots to ends. When the roots begin to regrow, showing up lighter and brighter than the rest of the strand, toners applied will darken it a few shades more to match the previous highlight.

The more bleached hair is washed the more frequent toning it should get. There are three different types of hair toners that can be applied at home or better still, at the salon. One must be in the know as to how each is used, the proper timing and the right strength for one’s particular shade for there are different brands of differing strengths. There are the strong ammonia-based toners requiring caution in application. There’s the milder purple shampoo that come in different strengths; one must test a couple or so brands to get the desired results. And then the purple hair dye which is just a dye, not really a toner, but serves the same purpose. Only a small amount is needed, mixed with white conditioner to neutralize the yellow tones.

Since following product instructions is key to successful toning, a professional job done for beginners or the not-too-sure is most appropriate to avoid any potential damage to hair. Bleached hair is fragile and correct timing of toning is essential. Wastage of product can also be avoided if professional advice is also sought.
