NEW DEEP CONDITIONING TREATMENT AVAILABLE AT SHAG!

[last_updated] By Shagaustin

Austin Deep Conditioning Treatment for hairThe heat of summer is now hitting us hard in Austin. That means we are hitting pools, lake, oceans, and basically any body of water that our bodies will fit in in order to cool off. Between the heat, the water, the sun, the drying effects of air conditioning, your hair can end up looking dull and lifeless. Fortunately for you, we at Shag now have a new treatment that will come to your rescue. We are excited to now be providing the KEVIN.MURPHY Treat.Me Anti-Aging deep conditioning treatment!

All Kevin Murphy products have been created with the idea that they are skin care for your hair and this deep conditioning treatment is like the facial of your skin care routine. Products are designed to weightlessly deliver performance, strength, and longevity. When searching the world for ingredients, KEVIN.MURPHY looks for companies using micro cultivation, organic growing practices or ecologically-sound wild harvesting techniques to ensure the KEVIN.MURPHY range is of the very highest natural quality. Offering a fashion-focused range of professional hair care products conceived in the world of session styling, the company’s mission is to share cutting edge style via modern technology – straight from the runways of the world to the salon floor, from hair artisan to consumer.

Whether you are experiencing the hormonal effects of ageing or not, this treatment will rejuvenate your hair, increase shine, and improve hair quality and elasticity. Fruit Stem Cells help to repair and provide revolutionary anti-ageing and rejuvenation of youthful lustre and shine to dry, brittle hair.  It helps to repair and restore hair from chemical, thermal, and UV damage.

By using skincare ingredients like Moringa Oil and Gardenia Extracts in the structure of a serum, the treatment is able to work with a smaller molecular structure where the ingredients can absorb into the cortex, giving instant and lasting results and repairing the damage the Texas summer can rage on your hair. In particular, this treatment uses Orchid and Lotus Flower extracts to give your hair youthful lustre and shine while fighting follicular ageing. Key ingredient Baobab Oil provides moisture while improving elasticity and tone.

The treatments are kept in separate bottles. That was done so to remove the need for a chemical stabilizer, which can take the “life force” from a product. The idea is to keep the active ingredients apart until just before the application. Mixing the two actives together is how you get the great reaction between the two substances – you just can’t get that kind of reaction in a jar or a tub of cream. So when your stylist looks like a mad professor mixing your treatment just remember that your hair is going to benefit from pure ingredients in their most basic form. The products are full strength with a high concentration of active ingredients.

Are you ready to get vitality and shine back to your ‘do? Are your ready to repair the damage that life is throwing at you this summer? Ask your stylist for the Kevin.Murphy Treat.Me Anti-Ageing treatment and remember that your hair doesn’t need to be suffering from the effects of ageing in order to experience the extreme benefits of this treatment. You will thank your Austin hair stylist!

neuLASH REVIEWS

“I purchased this serum after removing my lash extensions that had ruined my natural lashes and left me with almost nothing to work with! I saw results in 2 weeks, honestly! This 100% works! I’m so glad I made the purchase. I’ve had my bottle for 2 months now and estimating to have it for at least 6 months if not longer. I did not have any side effects and I have very sensitive skin. I am very satisfied with the product and will continue to purchase in the future.” MoniMc

“I’ve always had sparse lashes and noticed that they’re not growing back as quickly like they used to. I literally had no lashes on the outer half of my right eye and got tired of filling them in with pencil. So I decided to give Neulash a try and noticed new growth by the 2nd week. By the 4th week I had a full set of lashes! Hallelujah! Afterwards, I started to notice them getting longer and that some lashes were slightly longer than others but it was no big deal- they’re not supposed to look perfect. Knowing the results of this amazing serum, I’m planning to get the Neubrow.

FYI- during the 1st week, I noticed a slight sun burn sensation at the base of my lash. But the lid wasn’t pink or irritated. I decreased usage to every other night and that ‘tingly’ sensation quickly went away. This was mentioned in the manual.” Gld_Phoenix

“After one week of using Neulash my lashes curled on their own; I don’t have to use curlers any more. It takes 3 weeks to get longer lashes.” Leena Shaverdi

“Grow long, thick black lashes. You need to apply every day for a week or so, then about every other day after. I even went down to one time a week. Some of my lashes were so long, I had to trim them!” SmartShopper

HOW TO PULL OFF A DRASTIC HAIR MAKEOVER

[last_updated] By Shagaustin

Austin Hair MakeoverSpring is here and it feels like a time of renewal so it must be time to lose your tired look and emerge a drastically changed butterfly, right? While we are big huge fans of big time change, read our tips on how to pull it off so that you are prepared and do it right.

MOTIVATION

What is your motivation for wanting to change things up? Are you tired of your look and feeling stuck in a rut? Wanting something more on-trend? Ready to stand out more? Ready to bring it down a notch? Going through a life change like pregnancy or a break up? While deciding to change your hair, whether through a cut, color, or texture, can be liberating be sure that it is a well thought out decision and not something spur of the moment. Consider your motivation and let that lead you.

QUESTIONS TO ASK

Does the new look you are considering fit your lifestyle? A wash-and-go kind of girl is not going to be happy with a style that requires lots of time with heat stylers. If you don’t like spending hours in the salon every few weeks taking your chocolate brown hair to platinum is probably not a great idea. If you work in a conservative environment that gorgeous ombre mermaid color may not be a choice you will ultimately be happy with. It is also really important to consider your unique self- will the cut you covet flatter your face shape and work with your hair texture? How will the color you are wanting compliment your complexion?

DRASTIC OPTIONS

There are so many ways to make a big change with big impact. Something as simple as bangs can really freshen up your look, but if you are looking for something bigger think about considering:
Going from long to short- Bobs and pixies are having a moment. If you are a bit gun shy, try a lob (long bob). Jessica Chastain has been sporting an asymmetrical lob that is totally droolworthy.
Short to long- Dreamcatcher extensions can give anyone Victoria’s Secret waves in an afternoon. But keep in mind that they will require some maintenance.
Curly to straight- Brazilian blowouts can change the texture of your hair and give you shiny, Gwennyth style locks.
Going to a structured/asymmetrical cut- tired of boho beachy waves? Try a structured bob or bangs.
Subtle color or highlights for virgin hair- if you have never colored your hair ask your stylist for some subtle bayalaged (hand painted) highlights to frame your face.
Extreme colors- ready to go really big? Try some of the extreme colors that are so hot right now. Rainbow roots, gray, mermaid colors, really anything you can dream up. Be prepared that when making an extreme color change it will likely be a multi-step process and will require you to baby it so that it stays fierce.

TIPS

Consult with an experienced stylist! Scour magazines and the internet and come armed with pictures when you have your consultation so that you and your stylist can come up with something perfect for you. Your stylist will also let you know what steps you need to take to prep for and maintain your look.

WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A FAIL

If you end up unhappy with the result the good news is that it’s hair, it’s not permanent! It grows and can be dyed. Again, an experienced stylist is key and can help you get through the process of growing it out or changing the color.
