WHS Trend Report- Spring Time Tips

Spring has arrived and WHS is here to show you how to revitalize your look for the season. Weather during the Spring can be completely unpredictable, therefore making your perfect style in the morning drab and under a hat by lunch time. Hopefully after a few of these tips your hair will no longer be negatively affected by these damp dewy days!

Tip One: In the morning before you leave and at night before you go to sleep; apply a light anti-frizz serum, (WHS Favorite- Paul Mitchell Skinny Serum) to the hair to create a nice shine, but also penetrate the strands with loads of moisture, where it displaces water and constricts the hair.

Tip Two: If you have a fresh due and the rain is pouring heavily, leave your hair wrapped up, put on a cute hat and undue your hair when you arrive at your destination indoors. This not only protects your hair from the moisture, but also pollution and debris that may be floating around in the air.

Tip Three: Try effortless styles, that aren’t too difficult to maintain during the day. When you use too much product, bobby pins or accessories; it becomes a hefty and annoying task to correct. Use light curls with a little holding spray. Try simple pony tails, with a little height in the front, or French braids are always a classic look!

These three tips are not only useful, but extremely simple for anyone to try. Always remember that you create your own style, we’ll just help you maintain it!

WHS Tips and Tricks: Transitioning from Relaxed to Natural hair

Come on Ladies, we all know how frustrating the process is of ridding yourself of relaxed hair can be. Well, hopefully WHS can ease the pain of this pivotal moment in your life. As tedious as this process maybe, you should really pat yourself on the back for this groundbreaking decision. Always remember with hard work comes gratification!

Tip One: Depending on how much new growth you have, be brave and cut off the remaining relaxed hair. That way, all you need to focus on is maintaining healthy natural hair.

Tip Two: Create a great transitional style, including natural twist you can accomplish with Chinese bumps or straw sets. Also, soft curls are a great transitional style, you can accomplish with soft foam curlers, you use overnight. Both don’t require heat, therefore the relaxed hair can still maintain health.

Tip Three: Utilize Extension/braids or weaves to protect your hair, while going through your transitional stage. However, speak with your stylist regularly, on how often to wash and replace the synthetic hair.

Tip Four: Continue conditioning your hair on a regular basis. To keep the new growth hydrated and moisturized.

Here are four simple tips to assist with your natural transition! Good Luck…
