BEACH HAIR......oh the WAVES!!!!!

This is perfect for the girls that have a little wave in their hair and want to take it to the next level. I have slightly wavy hair and there are days when I just  don't have the time straighten every strand! I'm sure there are plenty of you gals out there that can relate. Well here is the solution....not only is it always in season in Spring and Summer, but looks effortless and gives you a BREEZY type of vibe. :) I like to look effortless at times.... and its a great way to change up your look. Here are steps that I do to achieve this look. There are no rules as long as you get to the same end hair result!!


1. I find this style looks best on second day hair....(meaning the day you skip your shampoo)


2. On dry hair I'll spritz a little bit of water to give it just a tiny dampness mainly on the ends.


3. I then use TRESemme FLAWLESS CURLS EXTRA HOLD MOUSSE (a great find in my V.I.P. bag at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week NY) I had never used TRESemme prior to this, but I will say I love the products! I do a scrunching & fluffing motion as I have the dryer on with a diffuser.


4. Next TIGI BEDHEAD HEADRUSH is applied as I'm still scrunching. This tames the frizzes but gives me that boost of shine. Its the perfect combo for those natural waved tresses 


5. The process is complete and you are out the door!! The total time is 5-10 minutes tops! Cant beat that for a girl or long haired guy on the GO!


You can use any products you prefer to get the same results. There are many Beach hair products on the market as well. Do what works for you. Its your hair...have FUN with it!!  Beauty Brow & Facial Maven, Maria Thompson XOXO

Hair Removal.....WAX ON.....WAX OFF!!

The warm weather is here and its time to bare all of that SKIN!!! How will you bare it all?!?! There are so many decisions out there from the old fashion way of shaving, to laser hair removal and of course one of the most popular WAXING. You can literally be waxed from head to toe. Facial waxing, ears, back, chest, underarms, arms, bikini, Brazilian, half leg, full leg even down to the little hairs on toes or feet....yesss some people have that as well. Whatever method you choose is each persons own preference but I am here to talk about the "WAXING WAY" of doing things. This is the method I do and what we use here at Damone Roberts Salons in Beverly Hills and in what we do in our New York Location. If you normally shave at least have 3 weeks of hair growth for your first visit or at least 3/4 of length. This is important as you want the hair to be pulled from the root and not broken off. Avoid tanning at least 24 hours prior as the skin can get irritated. Here are some of the benefits from waxing.....


1. Waxing can exfoliate the skin, when removing the hair it also removes that layer of dead skin revealing brighter skin.


2. More time in between hair growth.


3. With time the hair will grow less and appear more fine.


4. Less irritation as far as bumps and in grown hairs.

Here are some price points to give you an idea of costs: Full Face $50+, Underarms$25, Legs $45-$75+, Chest$50+, Back$50+ Bikini45+, Brazilian$70. Prices can vary depending on the amount of hair and length of time per appointment.
The results of growth varies from person to person as hair grows in different stages.
Most people rebook every 3-4 weeks for their next appointment
For post care make sure to use "Aftercare" products such as Tonic 86 (which we carry here at Damone Roberts), Tend Skin, or an Azulene oil. These are antiseptic, antibacterial mild exfoliating liquids that prevent and correct ingrown hairs.

*ALWAYS GO TO A REPUTABLE ESTHETICIAN/WAXER!!!!!* Come see me if you are in the BEVERLY HILLS area at Damone Roberts Salon. Until then.........HAPPY WAXING!!
