Yoga Practice and your Skin & Hair.

When it comes to personal beauty, taking care of your skin—your largest organ and first point of contact with the world—is perhaps the most important daily ritual you perform. This means more than finding the right cream to apply to your face—although that's part of it too. It's a holistic process involving eating right, exercising, and living healthfully. When all these things converge, good health illuminates your face. In treating your skin with love and respect, you reacquaint yourself with your natural being and allow your inner beauty to shine through.

Benefits of Yoga on Your Health

. Yoga improves posture, increases the intake of oxygen, and enhances the functioning of the respiratory, digestive, endocrine, reproductive, and elimination systems. Its effects on the emotions are equally beneficial: calming the mind, attuning us to the environment, and diminishing insomnia caused by mental restlessness. Yoga is highly recommended for people in competitive, stressful working environments, for those who suffer from headaches, back and shoulder aches, allergies, and asthma. Yoga also works to unite the split between the mind and the body. Anyone with a compulsive behavioral disorder knows firsthand what agony this split can cause. Anyone who has ever had a nervous breakdown, suffered manic depression, or has only felt himself or herself functioning on 'half-power' understands this as well. The regular practice of yoga helps us to accept whatever physical or mental conditions we might be suffering from by increasing our immediate sense of well being, concentration, and calm. Much healing can be done, but it takes practice and consistency



How Yoga Aids Hair Growth



Certain yoga poses rectify the root causes of hair loss. These poses reduce anxiety and stress, improve digestion and rectify poor circulation of blood in the head. All these reasons are known to cause hair loss. Yoga poses also increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the head, aiding hair growth. Besides hair growth, yoga also holistically improves one’s physical and mental health
The inverted yoga postures often convert gray hair back to its natural color and they will certainly delay the onset of gray hair. This is due to the inverted postures causing an increase in blood supply to the hair follicles in the scalp.
Increased flexibility of the neck produced by the asanas also helps by removing the pressure on the blood vessels and nerves in the neck, therefore giving the head an even greater blood supply to the scalp.
Yoga will take years from your face and add years to your life. As you get older, you will take on an ageless appearance.  Namaste.

Communication is Key!

You have an Idea of what you want but you don’t know how to explain it to your stylist.

These are steps you can take to have an amazing salon experience.

A common mistake people make is that they confuse Layers with Angels These are two totally different types of hair cuts & not understanding the difference can lead to a disaster.

Communication is key to a successful hair style. Bring several picture of a hair cut you may like try to provide views from front and back.  But please try to choose pictures that are similar to your hair type and texture.

This rule also applies to color; However remember that some pictures in magazines are altered to look brighter and some times air brush is used to add highlights and low lights. So try to find pictures that are more natural.

Again bring in several pictures and discuss them with your Colorist.  Trust me they will not mind.  

If you are setting up a color appointment and you are considering changing your color or adding an additional service ask the receptionist to give you more time for a consultation. Doing a little research and having proper communication will result in a great experience.

How to keep your color looking vibrant.

As a Colorist & Stylist the problem we face with hair color is that it fades. No matter what color you are the truth is that Hair Color does oxidize. Make a note and try these recommendations Im sure they will help you maintain a rich vibrant color.
Color Gloss or Glaze  is the best way to make your color last longer. A Color Gloss is great because it enhances your current color with out all the hard chemicals it also closes the cuticle of the hair giving it incredible shine and softness, it also locks in moisture so your hair looks and feels fabulous . And for those who don’t want to color their hair this is a great way to try color with out the commitment. Color Glosses come in man shades you can use it to enhance your natural color or to tone dull stressed hair back to its vibrancy.
Detoxify your hair this will remove build up of products and hard minerals deposits found in water. Most of us don’t think about this but the next time you set up your appointment for color try a detoxifying treatment your hair will absorb the color much better and don’t forget the conditioner no mater if your hair is thin and limb always use conditioner.
Protect your investment! always buy Color safe Shampoo and Conditioner from your reputable Salon. Ask your colorist to recommend a product that is good for your hair. Tweet
