Fighting Fine Hair – Aurelio Salon in New Jersey

A constant battle that frequently crosses a hairdresser’s chair is the guest with ultra- fine hair. If this is you, pay close attention! Here are a few tips you can follow to fight the battle against dull, flat strands.

1- Do not overload on product.

Believe it or not, you’re doing your hair an injustice. Instead, support your locks wisely, and stick with a light weight root booster. Also choose thickening products which contain a plumping agent to expand hair from the core. Being selective and conservative will take your hair to new heights!

2- Blow-Drying with a round brush.

Utilize tools created by hair genius’ such as Sam Villa. Ventilated ionic round brushes are your “go-to” brush. When drying hair, take the round brush at your root and lift hair away from the scalp. This will allow you to dry hair and create maximum volume where you need it most.

3- Use hot rollers!

That’s right. We’re going old school! This will help set your hair in a manner that will promote voluminous hair. This will not only create volume by the root, but also give the rest of your hair fullness with over- sized curls. Basically you will look like a “foxy lady”.

4- Using the correct shampoo and conditioner.

It is important that you are treating your hair with respect by using the best professional hair care products. If you’re trying to create volume and light weight body, using a heavily conditioned shampoo will not be the best for you. Your goal is to make your hair as light as possible to promote lift and life! Choosing a shampoo such as AddVolume by KMS California will assist your hair with that goal. If your next concern is conditioner that can protect while still being weightless, try FreeShape conditioner- also from KMS California. This has active heat ingredients that activate when heat touches it (blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons, etc.)

5- Getting the proper haircut.

Getting a regular trim when you have fine hair aids the illusion of full hair. When you have breakage and split ends, it creates a thinned out appearance. So set up some appointments at your local salon to ensure you don’t let your hair grow scraggly. Adding some layers will enhance movement in your hair styling as well. With a layered haircut it will be easy to use these tricks for a fuller appearance.

Go ahead fine-haired friends! Try these tips out and see which tricks work best for you.

In this make-up look, I wanted to introduce the versatility of natural golden tones between every day make-up looks and evening looks.

For both of these looks, I used the express palette from BeautyAddicts Cosmetics.

Here is a list of the rest of the products used:

• SleekCheeks- Seduce
• DoubleDeception-02
• Light+Medium-Pressed Powder

For the top look, I used SweetLips (Seduce) lip liner and blended with Femme Fatale lipstick. This would be your night out look.

In the bottom photo, I used SweetLips motivate lip liner and blended with Affair lipstick. Comparable with the “Kylie Jenner Nude Lip” .

Have fun re-creating these looks this holiday season!

Sea Foam Green Hair to Stunning Rose Gold Color – Aurelio Salon in NJ

This particular client was quite the challenge. She came in with about 4in of new growth with old highlights on her ends that were a faded mint green. She had, months before, colored her hair herself at home to make it lavender. The green was the faded out result.

I proceeded to touch up her highlights with formula A. After this part was processed, I rinsed and shampooed with DualSenses Fade Stop Shampoo. I tried to loosen up the color on her ends by using Malibu Crystal Gel for 15min under the dryer.

Next, I rinsed out the Crystal Gel and toned the hair with formula B for 10min. I then rinsed out the toner and shampoo with Elumen Wash. Next, glaze with formula C. Process for 15min under the dryer. Rinse out until the water runs clear. Shampoo using Elumen Wash again, and then apply Elumen Lock and process 5min. rinse and condition with Elumen Treat.

To stylep; use Elumen Care, Glamour Whip and Elixer. Blow dry smooth to enhance softness, shine, and brilliance of the color.

Dusty Lavender Color To Violet Colored Hair – Aurelio Salon in New Jersey

My guest came into the salon with a very faded, dusty lavender color. After trying pastel purple with not much luck, she decided it was time to deepen her color. After consulting with my guest, she finally decided on a very vivid, deep violet.

For the first past of her color, I sectioned the hair into quadrants. Starting at the nape, I sprayed her hair with Structure Equalizer Spray, to even out the porosity of her hair. Next, I applied formula A roots to ends and I processed for 30min.
After formula A processes, wash hair, but DO NOT condition. Back at the chair, completely dry hair, and re-section into quadrants. Begin to apply formula B to the mid-shaft and ends. After all the ends are covered, apply formula B to the new growth and process for 30min. wash and condition with Goldwell DualSenses Fade Stop shampoo and conditioner.
Before styling, I completed the color service with DualSenses Color Locking Serum.

To style, I applied Goldwell Jelly Boost to the roots around the crown and I applied Goldwell Glamour Whip to the ends of the hair. Blow dry to give the hair volume and body. Finish the style with Goldwell Magic Finish hairspray and Diamond Gloss shine spray.

From Grey to Hey – Aurelio Salon and Spa in New Jersey

This guest came to me with 100% grey hair from roots to ends.  After being all grey for a few years, she was ready for a new darker look!  We had a thorough consultation and decided to make her a dark brunette with a hint of a red/copper tone.  When coloring 100% grey hair it’s best to use permanent hair color to prevent fast fading. Determine what level the guest would like to achieve and make sure the color you choose together is dark enough to completely cover the grey.

Formulate using mostly from the “N” series with 20 volume developer for the best coverage possible. Always apply starting at the root first then combing through the ends if needed. Make sure to let the color process on the head for the full time needed, which is generally 30-45 minutes.

After giving her the round layered bob that she desired, I applied Goldwell’s Double Boost and Sleek Perfection.  She then received a voluminous sleek style finished with Goldwell’s Big Finish.

To properly maintain colored hair an appointment for a touch up is needed about every 3-5 weeks. For best results it’s good to use color safe shampoo and conditioner for at home care between salon visits. In addition to help prevent fading, avoid excess sun exposure and chlorine water. Also using cool water to rinse your hair will help the color last longer and will add more shine. Follow these easy tips and stay looking younger for longer!
