“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.
The 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!

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:
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!

“I didn’t recognize myself at first…I was so excited I jumped for joy! I can’t wait to go out and be myself.” – Linsey
Linsey was diagnosed with Grave’s Disease, an autoimmune disorder leading to hyperthyroidism, back in 1996.As we spent time with Linsey we found that her hair loss was caused by a combination of Graves’ Disease, Hashimoto’s Disease and the medications associated with them. For these types of diseases that cause damage emotionally, and physically it’s so important to build awareness so that women who may be suffering can seek and find help.
Consultation:
We prepared Linsey for her hair system by having a personalized discussion with her about her hair loss and determining which solution would be best for her specifically.
“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!”

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.

Communications is the key to a healthy self, life, career, organization and family – as well as every relationship you encounter. Not only have I made it my personal goal, but I have also set the goal for Jeffrey Paul Salon, as a whole, to make itour highest priority and focus for 2014 to become even more “healthy. I would like to introduce you to Carolyn Santos, a nationally known communication coach, who is going to not only be a coach to me and my team but also may be a great coach for you as well!
I started noticing my hair getting thinner in the past 8 years. First, it started as just a few hair strands a days, then, more hair began to appear in the shower drain, until one day I realized: “I have a real problem here!” My biggest questions were, “WHY is this happening to me?”, and “WHAT can I do about it?” That’s the way communication issues start. It is one little thing here, one misunderstanding there. One offense caused because someone simply does not understand when they do or say “THAT”, it hurts or offends me. Or, if you are like me, you have conflicting thoughts or ‘voices’ inside that make you feel that you must need to see a professional! Well, yes, we do! But, not that kind of professional! We need a Communication Coach. Someone who can share very simple information that once you know it, it changes everything and starts preventing LOSS in relationships!
Going through life having to deal with hair loss can be a constant struggle, a struggle that as adults can be emotionally and physically taxing. As taxing as it may be for adults imagine experiencing that struggle from a child’s perspective, can you imagine how daunting that would be?
My non-profit organization, Wigs For Kids, has had the opportunity to love, support and assist children who are experiencing medical related hair loss. With this opportunity, we have been blessed with an outstanding network of individuals who give their time, support, funds and services to help children look and feel themselves.
Yet in order to provide wigs to as many children in need as possible, Wigs For Kids needs to rely on generous volunteers, donations, and fundraisers. How can you help make these wishes come true? Here are three ways you can help out:
It takes 20-30 ponytails to create one wig for a child. By growing and donating your hair to Wigs for Kids you can become a part of changing that child’s life.
Host a Ladies Night of Pampering with your friends! Provide the food and drinks and even a silent auction and have donating’s go to Wigs For Kids.
3. Use Aquage/Wigs for Kids Products!
We have been lucky enough to partner with Aquage care and stylist products to create a Wigs for Kids gift pack. Support Wigs for Kids while looking beautiful with these fantastic products.
By getting involved, you’re helping to increase the help and support we can give to these kids at no cost to them. It is with your generosity that we are able to put a smile on these kids’ faces!
If you would like to learn more about Wigs For Kids and how you and your salon can get involved, please find information on their website here, or email or call me.
