The Art of Doing Your Own Hair
I know, I know. Even the title of this blog post probably imposes some sense of anxiety and fear onto you. BUT, hair me out! It doesn’t have to be such a scary thing to style your hair at home! Achieve that salon quality vibe for a Friday night out or special party by following these tips and tricks. Remember, it’s a journey! Practice does make perfect, but these quick and easy hacks don’t hurt either!
YOU NEED PRODUCT.
No, but really. We mean it. Your hair will come out 90% better looking EVERY TIME if you start by simply using the correct product. Your stylist will send you with the exact Kerastase goodies you need to treat your hair like the king or queen it is! This goes beyond just shampoo & conditioner though.

Good! You made it here. So, as we were saying…
PRODUCT! Our favorite trick for a simple and smooth blowout is to add a small drop of your favorite Kerastase oil to your ends and comb through before beginning the process! This will help to wick away the water faster while leaving the hair super smooth and silky. Try combining said oil with one other product such as a heat styler or mousse for volume! Don’t forget to give your blowout an extra five minutes past when you think you should quit. This will ensure all of the water is completely gone for a smoother and longer lasting effect.
Don’t overthink your hot tools.
Easier said than done. But try reframing the way you think of them. You are in control of the tool, not the other way around. First, be sure to set your tool to the appropriate heat setting. Take small sections - vertical sections are the fastest way to get around the entire head! Curling away from your face creates soft waves while curling toward will give a soft glam look. Combining both methods will result in a fun, more natural effect! Don’t forget to set with your favorite Kerastase hair spray & let those curls cool off for about two minutes before touching or brushing through! For safe practice, try keeping your tool unplugged and “curling” your hair to get familiar with the motions!
Don’t be afraid to experiment!
Some of our favorite shops like Anthropologie, Madewell & local boutiques like Jean Theory & Bittersweet offer many cute and trendy hair accessory options! This can be such a fun way to dress up your hair and entire outfit. Simple styles like a scarf in your pony, an oversized headband or a side part full of fun clips can give your look an instant boost with seriously minimal effort!

Treat yourself
We mean it! In between styling, treat your hair to keep it healthy and happy. Add a weekly mask to your washing routine, use all of the right heat protectants and leave-in conditioners your stylist suggests and don’t be shy about adding on that extra deep conditioning treatment in our Treatment Lounge. We have you covered!
