Livia Boerger — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 12:36:00 +0000

As someone with fine, color-treated hair that—for whatever reason—doesn’t grow longer than my collarbone, I’ve dabbled in just about every type of hair extension on the market. From the absolute best clip-in extensions (more on that later) to micro-beaded extensions and tape-ins, I’ve truly tried it all. So I decided it was time to share everything I’ve learned over the years in a thorough, detailed blog post. In this post I’ve also included some expert advice from Christina Oliva Cinque, aka the Hair Goddess, who is the founder of the best hair extension salon in NYC, Olivia Christensen. (If you live in the NYC area and considering extensions, I can NOT recommend her enough.) Below, you’ll find the answers to all the questions I previously had before I dove head-first into the world of weave. […]

This Styling Cream Fights Frizz in One Minute Flat

Lindsay Silberman — Thu, 03 Feb 2022 04:22:51 +0000

Growing up with naturally fine hair, frizz was something that had never really been a concern for me. If anything, my hair was flat, limp, and lacking in volume. And then… I went blonde. About a decade ago I started color-treating my hair with highlights, which transformed my naturally warm brown mane to a beachy, beige-y blonde. And while I have ZERO regrets (I absolutely LOVE being blonde) I did notice a new issue begin to emerge that I had never previously dealt with: FRIZZ. Couple that with the fact that I now spend half of the year living in Miami, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for frizzy disaster. Over the years, I’ve tried dozens upon dozens of frizz-fighting products, but because my hair is very fine, I find that most of the creams, […]

How to Clarify Hair at Home (and Why Your Scalp Desperately Needs It)

Kara Thompson — Sat, 08 May 2021 19:27:27 +0000

You shampoo and condition your hair on the regular, but when’s the last time you offered up a deep clean to your strands? Styling products—like hair spray, dry shampoo, and heat protectants—build up in your scalp over time, causing your hair to look dull, dry, and weighed down. Adding a clarifying shampoo to your routine is a simple and useful way to make your hair look and feel healthier. After a few washes, you’ll start to see noticeable differences in the overall quality and texture of your hair. (Plus, it’s a great way to fight frizz!) Did I get you hooked? Here’s everything you need to know to get started. What is a clarifying shampoo? Clarifying shampoos break down product build-up in your hair.

Kara Thompson — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 17:15:00 +0000

Keeping your hair healthy is an ongoing project, especially for those who reach for the blow dryer and curling wand every day. Overstyling, excessive product usage, or even just coloring your hair can cause it to look dry, brittle, and in need of a refresh. If your strands are looking damaged and lifeless, one easy way to revive them is by using a clarifying shampoo. So, what does a clarifying shampoo do exactly? Clarifying shampoos are more powerful, hardworking versions of regular shampoos that help remove product build-up, detox your scalp, lift mineral deposits left from hard water or chlorine, and eliminate grease and oil.
