Curly Hair Problems

CURLY HAIR PROBLEMS?

This is an ongoing problem that comes with having curly hair.  Finding a hairstylist that has the patience to work on your curls can be challenging.  Curly hair and its spring pattern can be mis-interpreted if the hair is being cut wet. Resulting in, this curly hair problem.

Most hair salons and hairstylists claim that cutting curly hair is the same as cutting straight hair.  That is just NOT the case.  If all hair types are different, then why would cutting all hair be the same?  

Here at Twisted Hare Salon and Spa, we specialize in cutting curls the RIGHT way.  Our Deva inspired stylists understand that curls require extra attention, and whole different way of cutting. 

The Deva cutting technique is a revolutionary method for cutting curly hair whereas most traditional hair cutting techniques were created for straight hair.  The curls are cut dry, when in its most natural state.  The stylist works with each individual curl, sculpting your style to work with your individual curl pattern.

The Movement

The Movement

Perms, Relaxers, and Brazilian Blowouts!  

What do these three things have in common? 

CHEMICALS. 

With the amount of chemicals, and side effects that come with having your hair chemically relaxed, it has encouraged thousands of naturally curly women, to be just that.  Natural. Some say it's a "just a trend."  However, with the expected 45% decrease in revenue, by 2019, for these services, it is far from just a trend. Natural hair has become a MOVEMENT. 

We have transitioned into a world where we have more options for "socially acceptable," hairstyles. 

More and more African-American women are saving hundreds of dollars a month, by going natural. 

The Affects of Chemical Relaxers: 

Respiratory infections, nosebleeds, coughing, hair breakage, and scalp irritation/burns, are just a FEW of the side affects of the chemicals used to relax curly hair. There are chemicals, such as, Lye (Sodium Hydroxide), used on women everyday. Sodium Hydroxide is the strongest type of principal chemical used in some chemical relaxers because it provides the most long lasting and dramatic effects.  This is a chemical found in most drain cleaners, as well as used in the plastic industry.  Lye is commonly used to give plastic more flexibility.  

Not exactly something you want to be coming into close contact with. 

Before going for it:

If chemical relaxers, or Brazilian blowouts is something you want to give a go:

SEE A PROFESSIONAL:  It may be much more expensive, but it is definitely worth it.  A professional should do a strand test before starting, to really see how your hair will react to the chemicals. 

DO YOUR RESEARCH:  You can't always believe what you read on the internet. Most products will read "lye free," however, most of the time that is false advertisement. Find out what products your salon uses before scheduling an appointment. Research those products, and all of the affects associated. There are many personal stories out there that you can read, both positive and negative, before making your decision.

Q~Redew! Revive your Curls!

Having natural curls can seem like such an inconvenience to most.  I know, everyday, I fight a war against the mirror.  All the shampoo commercials we are forced to endure everyday on TV, give most curly girls an unrealistic view of how hair SHOULD look.  When I say should, I really mean how society thinks we should look.  

It's time for us curly curls to embrace how blessed we are to have such an incredible look.  There are woman out there who suffer through long perms, and chemical processes to have what we have. And how do we repay them?  By tying our hair up in a pony tail, putting on a hat, and calling it a day. Or worse, taking a flat iron to our locks each day. Which results in one word.  Damage. Damage. Damage.

Think about it, if everybody in the world embraced their natural hair, how many beauty industries would go out of business, almost instantly?

Twisted Hare Salon and Spa believes in natural.  Hair should not be an inconvenience.  It's a part of what makes us, well, us. Being a DevaCurl Salon, we know curls....and we know how to make the curls you want, obtainable.
