Top Tips for Luscious Locks

It’s a rough time of year for you skin and hair. Let us give you some tips on how to keep your hair happy during these frigid temps!

1. don't wash too often - if you have to shower every day, try investing in a co-wash so you don't have to use a shampoo every day. Shampoo is harsher on your hair and strips  healthy oils that your hair needs. Our favourite? Try Restore by Kevin Murphy.

2. condition - did you know when using Kevin Murphy conditioners, you are recommended to leave about 70% of the conditioner in your hair? This allows it to act as a treatment as well!

3. Invest in a serum. - young again serum is liquid gold. We've seen it transform fried bleached hair. Use on wet and dry hair, fresh out of the shower to a touch on the ends to complete a styled look!

4. brush your hair. - using a wide tooth comb or a nice brush, comb through your hair. This will naturally disperse your oils to condition your hair. When you don't brush, the oils will build up at your root making it seem like you need to wash again! We carry all sorts of brushes and combs for your picking.

5. Get the occasional trim. - The point of our clean up service is to keep your ends looking fresh. $10 gets you a 15 minute dry trim to help you out with all your split end needs. Book a clean up today!

magic monday - luscious lady locks

As someone who wishes she woke up with sultry, bombshell hair à la Lana Del Rey, but isn't willing to spend more than half an hour getting ready ... I've made a new best friend. Hot Rollers.

Hot Rollers are the perfect way to get curls so sultry, you'd swear you stepped off a Victoria's Secret runway. They're more or less foolproof (bonus!) and take minutes to set.

Here's how:

Heat up your rollers. I normally flip the switch on mine as I'm headed to the kitchen to make my coffee. After I've got my first cup in hand, it's time to begin!

Starting with the top of your head, separate hair into 2-inch sections (sections should not be wider than the roller itself) Spray each section with your favorite hair spray (ours is the Kevin Murphy Session Spray) and roll hair onto the roller. Set in place with a roller-clip.

For added volume, remember to over direct the hair forward, while holding taut as you roll.

I normally roll the center section of my hair (from forehead to nape) then go on to roll two rows on each side.

When every hair is nestled ever-so-snuggly in hot roller heaven, I slap on some rouge, and grab a bite to eat. Your rollers are ready to remove when they've cooled completely. Most days I get distracted, and by the time they've cooled down, I'm only halfway done my breakfast. If you're in a bit of a rush, just give them a blast of cool air with your hair dryer.

Now for the fun part. Unclip each roller, and unleash the curls. When you've removed all the rollers from your hair, run your fingers through and give your head a shake.

Next, for that even, relaxed bombshell look, run a natural bristled paddle brush over your tresses. We love this boar bristle brush from Dannyco. (Free when you purchase any two Osis or Euphora products in our boutique!)

Give your hair one last spritz of Session Spray, and you're ready to go!
