Transform Your Man… and Yourself

by Emmanuel

SuperMan

Drab to fab in a few seconds? That’s right! Ladies, it’s time to transform your man (and yourself!). I will let you in on this marvelous tip that works wonders.

Transforming paste will assist both you and your husband in obtaining looks you want. This valuable styling product is powerful because it combines the flexibility of a wax with the hold of a hairspray! Not only does it act as a texturizing tool, but it also provides long-lasting style retention while maintaining strand flexibility. Plus, it is water-soluble, so it won’t create damaging buildup on your hair. So, how do you go about transforming your man? Simple – follow these steps! 

How to Wear Your Hair Up For Summer!

by Emmanuel

Summer is hot, trust me I know! Having your hair cling to your face is not the most pleasant feeling during this time, but it can also be a struggle. Keeping your hair off of your face is something we should all be able to accomplish and, with looks such as low ponytails, braids and chignons, you can keep it out of the way. These summer hair trends are quick and easy ways to keep your hair looking its best.

One, amazing way to incorporate these looks (and a great alternative to hair damaging scrunchies, rubber bands and hair ties) is by using my personal favorite version of a hair tie: Knotties & Headband Knotties. 

Ask Jeffrey: Wet Brush

“Why should I ditch my regular comb or brush for a Wet Brush? Does it really make a difference?” – Alicia

This is a great question! Tangles are a women’s worst enemy when it comes to hair. Many of the women I talk to ask why they can’t get the tangles out of their hair or better yet how to get tangles out of their hair or hair system. One of the biggest culprits for not getting tangles out of hair is using the wrong types of brushes. Not only  will the wrong brush not get the tangles out, it could also create further damage by causing hair breakage. For a women who has thin hair or hair loss, any additional breakage to hair could be devastating. So the right brush makes all the difference.

BRUSHThe Wet Brush is my go-to detangling tool of choice. At first glance, The Wet Brush looks like an ordinary hair brush, but with just one use, you will notice a complete difference. It can be used on wet or dry hair. It quickly and painlessly detangles even the thickest, most stubborn hair. The Wet Brush’s Inteli-Flex bristle is designed to be ultra-thin and flexible, yet still have rapid recovery memory to instantly bounce back to its original form. In addition, the ball tip bristles provide a massaging action that stimulates circulation at the follicle and is a proven benefit for hair health.

So not only are you getting the tangles out, but you are also getting a scalp massage at the same time – and everyone I know loves a great scalp massage!

I tell my guests that it is most important to be using this type of brush on wet hair as hair can be very vulnerable when wet. Additionally, before going to bed each evening and/or once or twice throughout the day brushing through your hair, with the right brush, and a detangling spray will keep your hair looking good and feeling great!

How To Properly Clean Your Hair Replacement System

by Emmanuel

washinghair

It’s important to remember that a Hair System is an investment. By taking proper care of it, you will keep it looking natural and make it last longer. In order to do so, I highly recommend following a well-prescribed maintenance routine and one crucial part of that includes proper cleansing of your system.

Before I discuss the appropriate steps in that process, I want to bust a myth right now: washing a wig or hair replacement system less does not make it last longer.  In fact, cleaning and conditioning with the correct products and procedure will increase the life span since it lifts the oils and grime that cause hair loss and make for an unnatural look.

If you wear your hair system attached in extended wear fashion (removed by professional every 4-6 weeks) it is best to follow these video steps here.

If your hair system is worn daily (taken on and off each day), I suggest following twelve simple steps:

Creating Better Posture – Hip Hinges

by Emmanuel

Correct posture is essential for the proper movement of our bodies everyday. I feel that springtime is a good time to improve our overall health and well-being.

One area of our bodies that tends to get neglected is the hips and they’re important to focus on in order to improve our posture, decrease pain and maintain flexibility. In today’s video my friend and our strength and conditioning expert, Mark Roozen, demonstrates exercises that will develop an improved posture.

Using a stick for support, you’ll bend forward bending at the hips. It’s key to keep the stick in contact with your lower body, which is the part of the body we want to stretch and utilize. This movement will engage the lower back, part of the body that gets ignored when we’ve been hunched at our computers or looking down at our phones or other devices.

Adapting a Fresh, New Beauty Routine

by Emmanuel

Not all beauty routines are made equal and during this spring-cleaning season, it’s important to revamp your current beauty routine. Let’s start with the basics.

Water is a crucial part of our daily lives and beauty routines. Our skin and hair depend on it to stay healthy and moisturized. We need to use water in these routines…not just any water though. Some water that comes out of faucets contains harmful chemicals such as chlorine which can cause hair to turn a greenish tone and copper which can cause hair to have an orangish tint. Water that contains those chemicals will do more damage than good when it comes to skin and hair.  Including making hair more dry, brittle and creating more tangles. I suggest investing in a shower de-chlorinator.  For more tips on how a change in water can start your beauty routine off right…check out my video above!

Ask Jeffrey: Portraying Confidence

by Emmanuel

“How can I appear more confident in my personal or professional life even when I don’t feel it?” – Lauren 

Perhaps you’ve seen that woman who passes you on the sidewalk or who sits across from you at the weekly office meeting and you can’t help but think, “Wow, she sure is poised. How can I be so sure of myself like her?” Remember, to portray confidence, you must believe that you’re confident. Here are a few tips to portraying confidence:

  • Body Language: Confident people sit up straight, walk with their head held high, and aren’t afraid of eye contact.
  • Speech: When you speak with a purpose and in a relaxed tone, you immediately come off self-assured.
  • Dress: While confidence comes from the inside, the easiest way to prove it to yourself is to dress in clothing that makes you feel good (no, not sweatpants!). This doesn’t mean flashy is the go-to either. Confidence shouldn’t be mistaken for cockiness.

Now, with these tips, it’s your turn to be that all around confident person that people look at and say, “Now she’s sure of herself!”

Do you Have a Heart Shaped Face?

by Emmanuel

No two faces are exactly the same, but we do all have a very specific face shape that helps us determine the best hairstyle for us. Do you know what shape your face is? If you don’t, then it’s time to figure it out!

Click here and watch the video above to help you determine your face shape on your own. I also suggest speaking with your stylist to have them help you determine your face shape. Once you determine your face shape your stylist should be able to match the best hairstyle (cut, length and overall style) to the shape of your face. This will help accentuate your most beautiful features and give you and even more beautiful look.

If you’re interested in learning more about what hairstyles fit best with each face shape, I have listed out and described the goals each hairstyle should have and what styles achieve that goal. Click here to see the samples for each face shape.

Ask Jeffrey – “What Will He Feel If He Touches My Wig?”

by Emmanuel

bigstock-Love-and-affection-between-a-y-44327488

I had the opportunity to write an article for Help Me 2 Stop, an organization working to bridge the gap between Trichotillomania suffers and salon professionals, and I want to share this article with my blog followers because I feel like every woman experiencing hair loss may have these same questions.

There are many special holidays and events that can be a time when many women experiencing hair loss want to hide away and not celebrate with that special someone. You ask yourself, “will he notice that I’m wearing a hairpiece,” “what will he feel when they touch my wig,” “what will his reaction be if I tell them I’m wearing a wig?”

These are all questions we contemplate each day we walk out of our homes and into a world where others never think of these things. But there are things you can do to build confidence in yourself and confidence in your true beauty.

How to Tackle Your Hair Loss: Part 1

by Emmanuel

2014 is the year, the year to tackle your hair loss and find out how you can find a solution.

Treating your hair loss starts at home. The products you use at home will change. The way you take care of your hair and even the manner in which you do many standard things in your life will change to accommodate the needs of your hair. I want you to begin to chart your course of treatment and monitor your needs in order to have the most effective outcome.

About a week before clients come in to see us at the Jeffrey Paul Salon, we have them gather and count the hair that falls out during that week. When they come in, we conduct an analysis using a microscopic video monitoring of their scalp, the follicles, the openings where hair emerges from the scalp, and other factors, in order to measure and put a value on the stage of your loss so that you can understand the steps you will need to take to alter the situation. If you collect hair you’ve lost and put it in a clear plastic baggie, daily, for a week, you can see at a glance whether you are losing more or less hair as time goes on.

Being Recognized for Digital Success

by Emmanuel

Going Digital copy copy

I am so very excited to show you how our work in digital media is being recognized as one of the top works in the industry. In the current issue of Heads Up by Aquage, they discuss how some salons are taking advantage of the digital age we live in. One salon, which they chose to feature, was my salon, the Jeffrey Paul Salon and the social platform Pinterest.

I have a variety of boards from hair replacement success stories to tips on living healthy. I couldn’t be prouder to have my salon’s name be recognized by Aquage for being one of the leaders in the digital world. If you are on Pinterest, please check out what my Pinterest page has to offer here.
