After being cooped up inside with the cold, snowy winter we've had, I bet everyone is excited for a little change.  Why not bring in this much-anticipated spring with a new look? One thing I would like to do as a hair stylist this season is to give you back your precious time.  How many of you spend upwards of an hour in the morning styling your hair?  Fighting your hair’s natural tendencies by tedious straightening? 

Well ladies, not this season.  The fashion world is once again embracing natural texture.  I have been to LA and back to create new haircuts to not only allow for, but actually encourage your natural hair texture.  We are going to embrace the curl or wave rather than fight it.  With a great cut, the right products, and a proper styling lesson you can not only "work" with your hair, you can make it perform and work for you.
           Now let's talk color.  As the seasons change, so do the colors of our surroundings.  As the temperatures begin to warm, so too should your hair color.  With a few well-placed highlights, or a glossing over your existing color, you can brighten your day in an economical way. 
           So we've established we're excited about the sun coming out, finally!  As a father of three little girls, that means lots of outside time for my family.  I have learned from my wife reminding me many times that sunscreen is a must.  Well, if we are going to protect our skin from the sun, shouldn't we also protect our hair?  I recommend using a shampoo and conditioner from a product line that is sulfate free and paraben free.  Then, style your hair with  a base product with UV and thermal protection.  This will help maintain the health of your hair through the spring and summer.
            I hope you have enjoyed my first contribution to this blog.  If you are ready for your new look for spring, you can find me right here in Aspinwall at Divinity Salon.
