WHS Trend Report- Blond Ambition

Admin — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 02:51:24 +0000

If you are now in a state of preparing for the New Year, it’s time to take the fact that “Blondes have more fun” into consideration. While, it has been taboo for women of color to go blonde, it’s also the ultimate statement of individuality and fun! Obviously, it would be wise to have this professionally done.

Anyone making this drastic change should have experienced hands in their hair. Horror stories of hair turning green, orange or yellow are all too common. Since, you are actually bleaching your hair first for the color to take; your hair has lost all pigment. Consequently, you need the correct amount of color to get the hue you want.

Professionals have the equipment, experience and knowledge to pull this off; you or your best girlfriend may not!!!Take a look at the ladies of Hollywood going big and blonde!!!

WHS Education- ‘Evolution of the Hot Comb’

Admin — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 02:16:28 +0000

Hot, Pressing, or straightening comb, which one do you call it?

Either way, this magical device with multiple names has only one function; which is to controllably straighten and style your hair. Most might think, the ‘Hot comb’ came about in the back towns of Louisiana or some other popular southern town, known for black women with kinky, curly hair. However, this device was invented in France. The 19th century tool was huge for groundbreaking trends and individualism. Marcel Grateau was one of the first hair stylists in Paris to use the hot comb in 1872. This started a new wave of styles and expectations!

It wasn’t until the hot comb; made it to the United States in the 1900’s, did Madam CJ walker add her patented revisions. Widening the teeth with a few other modifications made the ‘hot comb’ the most popular tool amongst women of color. Although, a portion of the black community saw this more as detrimental then beneficial, the movement went on forth!

The comb helped facilitate the infamous salon method of the ‘bump n’ Curl’. A simple, yet efficient hair routine that we get to enjoy at least once a week, in our local salons. It is clear that as time has passed the ‘Hot Comb’ has revolutionized with the women it services. Different gradients and materials make this device universal to all women.

Natural hair has grown extremely popular over the past few years. This has made the demand for the ‘hot comb’ even greater. The rise and fall of the relaxer, has claimed many hair and hairline casualties, which has made the transition that much easier.

Keeping the hair manageable for the women on the go, consistently begs the question….could we live without the ‘Hot Comb’????????

Flirty Flips: This clean, polished look boasts amazing volume that keeps this silhouette on the front page of fashion! Natural hair is shampooed and conditioned. While still damp, shears are used to create a swinging A-line bob that is undercut in the back.

Once the cut is complete, mane is molded with a part combed in and set under the dryer for about 45 minutes. Strands are blow-dried and then point-cut with shears to create more movement in the style. Tresses are flat-ironed, creating flips and curved pieces for added embellishment. A shine spritz and thermal smoothing product finish the style.

Style it! Wrap hair at night with a satin or silk scarf. In the morning, comb straight down and flat iron if needed. For a curly twist, pin curl hair at night and shake and go in the morning. This polished profile will last about a week.
