One of the best parts about faux locs? They’re not just cute; they’re durable. Typically, faux locs can last anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks, depending on how well you take care of them. Remember, keeping your scalp moisturized and wrapping your hair at night will go a long way in maintaining your locs’ fresh look and preventing them from getting frizzy..

How to Style Faux Locs

Alright, now let’s get into the fun part – styling those faux locs! These babies are super versatile. You can rock them down and flowy, throw them up into a high bun, or even pull them back into a sleek ponytail. Feeling a bit fancy?

Knotless Goddess Braids and Why I’m Obsessed

Medium sized goddess braids by Samia at Perfektion Hair Salon in Houston

As someone who loves experimenting with different hairstyles, I’ve tried almost every braid, twist, and knot you can think of. But nothing has captured my heart quite like the knotless goddess braids. Today, I’m excited to share my experience getting goddess braids and shout out Perfektion Hair Salon in Houston, where the talented Samia worked her magic.

Why Knotless?

First off, let’s talk about why knotless braids are all the rage. Unlike traditional box braids, knotless braids start with your natural hair and gradually incorporate braiding hair, which means no knots at the base. This technique not only provides a sleeker and more natural appearance but also minimizes tension and stress on the scalp. For someone who is all about hair health, this is a major plus!

My Goddess Braids Journey

For my appointment, I decided to go bold with medium-sized goddess braids with straight ends. However, if I had to do it over, I’d opt for curly ends and a bit longer length. The curly ends add a whimsical, ethereal touch that enhances the ‘goddess’ vibe, making the style even more enchanting.

I chose a gorgeous burgundy shade that complements my skin complexion beautifully. The deep, rich color adds a touch of sophistication and style that I absolutely adore.

Other Stunning Options

At Perfektion Hair Salon, the creativity doesn’t stop with one style or color. I was thrilled to see other variations of goddess braids that Samia has perfected. One standout style features braids with a splash of purple throughout, giving a fun and playful twist to the classic look. Another eye-catching option is the combination of fiery red and timeless black, which makes for a bold and dramatic statement.

Why I'm Obsessed

There are plenty of reasons to love knotless goddess braids, from their versatility and style to their comfort and protective qualities. But for me, the obsession goes deeper. These braids make me feel empowered and beautiful, tying in perfectly with my personal aesthetic and lifestyle. They’re not just a hairstyle; they’re a form of self-expression that celebrates beauty and individuality.

Bronner Brothers Hair Show 2024

A Glimpse into the Glamour: Perfektion Hair Salon at the Bronner Brothers Hair Show 2024

This August, the Perfektion Hair Salon team ventured from Houston, Texas, to New Orleans to immerse themselves in the vibrant and dynamic world of the Bronner Brothers International Beauty Show 2024. Held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, this renowned event is a cornerstone of the beauty industry, particularly celebrated for its expansive focus on hair care, styling, cosmetics, and skincare.

The Atmosphere: A Festival of Beauty and Creativity

The atmosphere at the Bronner Brothers Beauty Show is always electric, but this year in New Orleans, it was positively buzzing with a festive energy that could be felt from the moment you stepped into the venue. Music filled the air, mingling with the vibrant chatter of excited attendees and the colorful displays from exhibitors. It was a spectacular backdrop for a gathering of beauty enthusiasts and professionals from all over the world.

Exhibitors and Innovations

Bronner Bros Products

The show floor was a treasure trove of innovation, featuring leading beauty brands, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Our team explored booths that showcased the latest products, tools, and technologies. Exhibitors were not only selling but also demonstrating their wares, offering samples, and exclusive deals that were too good to pass up.

Education and Professional Development

Tape in by Sandra at Perfektion Hair Salon

One of the primary reasons we attended the BB Show was the unparalleled opportunity for learning. The educational workshops and seminars, led by industry experts, covered an array of topics from advanced hairstyling techniques and color trends to business management and marketing strategies. These sessions were insightful, enriching our knowledge and skills immensely.

.

The Hair Shows and Competitions

A highlight of the event were the hair shows and competitions. These were not just displays of skill but spectacles of creativity and artistry, where stylists from around the globe showcased their talents in creating everything from intricate, avant-garde hairstyles to masterful barbering works. The competitions, which included categories like fantasy hair, braiding, and natural hair, were fierce and inspiring, highlighting the artistic depth of the industry.

One such moment of awe came when celebrity hairstylist Terrence Johnson took the stage. With precision and flair, Terrence performed a rapid transformation, cutting a woman’s hair while she stood. The result was nothing short of spectacular, leaving the audience amazed at his ability to craft a stunning look in such a brief, dynamic display.

Networking and Connections

The networking opportunities at the BB Show are invaluable. We connected with peers, mentors, and influencers, fostering relationships that will support our professional growth and expand our salon’s reach. The presence of celebrity stylists and beauty influencers added an extra layer of excitement and inspiration, making every encounter at the event an opportunity to learn and grow.

Bringing It All Back Home

The beauty enhancements, including those vibrant lip tints, are becoming a favorite among our clients, adding a splash of color to their looks.

FAQ About Men's Braids

How Long Do Men's Braids Last?

Men’s braids typically last between 2 to 8 weeks, depending on the braid type, hair type, and maintenance routine. Proper scalp and hair care, including regular moisturizing and gentle washing, can extend the life of the braids.

How to do Men's Box Braids

How to do braids on men’s hair? To braid men’s hair, start by washing and conditioning the hair for a clean, tangle-free base. Divide the hair into sections according to the braid style chosen. For simple styles like straight back cornrows:

  • Begin at the front of the scalp.
  • Separate a small section of hair and divide it into three equal parts.
  • Start braiding by alternately crossing the sections under one another, adding more hair to each section as you go back.
  • Secure the end of the braid with a hair tie or bead.

How much do men’s braids cost? The cost of getting braids can vary widely based on the location, stylist’s expertise, and the complexity and length of the style. Typically, men’s braiding services can cost anywhere from $30 to over $200.

How long do men’s box braids last? Box braids for men can last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. This lifespan can be extended with proper care, including sleeping with a silk or satin head scarf to protect the braids at night.

How to do box braids on men’s hair? For box braids:

  • Start by parting the hair into square or rectangular sections.
  • Take a small section of hair, divide it into three equal strands, and begin braiding.
  • As with other braids, add more hair to each section as you move down to keep the braid close to the scalp.
  • Secure the ends and repeat for each section.

Braids are a great way to add interest and style to your look while keeping maintenance relatively simple. Whether you opt for cornrows, box braids, or twists, this versatile hairstyle continues to be a favorite among men worldwide.

Short Hair Cuts for Black Women

Let’s explore short haircut options for Black women’s natural hair, relaxed hair, and other options. Whether you’re looking for a bold new style or a classic cut, short hair can be both versatile and chic. In this post, we’ll cover 7 trendy short haircut ideas and provide tips on how to maintain your fabulous new look.

 

Why Short Hair?

Short haircuts offer a lot of benefits:

  • Low Maintenance: Easier to manage and style daily.
  • Versatility: Multiple styling options, from sleek to textured.
  • Healthier Hair: Removing damaged ends promotes healthier hair growth.

My Personal Short Hair Journey

Last summer, I had extremely damaged relaxed hair with severe breakage. I was forced to cut it all off and go for a really short hairstyle. Having always had long hair and the ability to wear weave if I wanted, I was nervous and a bit dismayed about getting such a short cut—a style I had never worn before.

However, I ended up looking nice with it, and my sister showered me with compliments about my hair, which made me feel better about it. I also got clip-ins that I could still clip around my hair, which looked good with my bangs, so I could still have a long hair look if I wanted to. I loved that for me! Special thanks to Sandra from Perfektion Hair Salon in Houston for giving me the cut that allowed me to slay through my summer trip through Europe.

10 Short Hair Cut Ideas for Black Women

Choosing the right wig brand is essential for ensuring a natural look and feel. Here are some top wig brands that cater specifically to the needs of white women:

1. Tapered Cut with Loose Curls

    • A tapered cut features longer hair on top with shorter sides and back. This style is perfect for adding volume and height.
    • Maintenance Tip: Regular trims every 4-6 weeks to maintain the shape.This gorgeous hairstyle can be managed by using rollers at night, then putting a silk or satin head covering on at night before you sleep. 
Check Out Roller Sets

2. Tapered Cut with The Side Swoosh

Arguably the side swoosh with short size or variations of this hairstyle is the most popular black community right now. Just beautiful. If you’re in Houston, TX book an appointment at Perfektion Hair Salon that can do this style really well!

3. Pixie Cut

Bringing back 1920 vibes, this hair style never gets old.

4. Afro

 

    • Embrace your natural texture with a short afro. This style is both bold and beautiful.
    • Experiment with different colors on short, natural hairstyles. Blonde is always popular! 
    • Maintenance Tip: Keep your afro moisturized and detangled with a leave-in conditioner, oils, and hair lotions and a wide-tooth comb.

5. Faux Hawk

Faux Hawk

    • The faux hawk adds edge with a longer strip of hair down the middle and shorter sides.
    • Maintenance Tip: Use a strong-hold gel to style the central section upward.

7. Finger Waves

  • Finger waves offer a vintage, glamorous look. This style is perfect for formal occasions.
  • Maintenance Tip: Use a styling gel and a fine-tooth comb to create the waves, and cover with a silk scarf at night.
  •  

8. Curly Bob

    • A curly bob provides a playful, voluminous look. It works well with natural curls.
    • Maintenance Tip: Define curls with a curl cream and refresh with a water spray bottle.

How to Maintain Short Hair Cuts

Maintaining short hair requires regular care to keep it looking fresh and healthy. Here are some tips:

  • Regular Trims: Schedule trims every 4-6 weeks to maintain the shape and prevent split ends.
  • Moisturize: Short hair still needs moisture. Use leave-in conditioners and oils to keep your hair hydrated.
  • Protect at Night: Use a silk or satin pillowcase or wrap your hair in a silk scarf to reduce friction and breakage.
  • Gentle Cleansing: Avoid harsh shampoos. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos that won’t strip your hair of its natural oils.
  • Styling Products: Choose products that suit your hair type and desired style. Light gels, curl creams, and mousses can help achieve different looks.

Final Thoughts

Investing in a high-quality wig can make a significant difference in your overall appearance and confidence. Avoid the temptation of low-quality options from unreliable sources like TikTok, and instead, opt for reputable brands and sellers. The Lativ Blonde Wig With Bangs is a fantastic choice for white women looking for a stylish, comfortable, and durable wig.

7 Stylish Ideas for Grey Blending with Dark Hair

Embracing grey hair while maintaining your dark locks is a trend that’s gaining popularity, thanks to its sophisticated and modern look. Grey blending is an excellent way to transition gracefully without completely changing your appearance. At Perfektion Hair Salon, we specialize in creating beautiful, natural-looking grey blends. Here are seven stylish ideas to help you blend your grey hair with dark hair seamlessly.

But worry not! Today, we’re here to bridge the gap between hair stylists and clients, bringing clarity and peace (well, at least in the world of hair!). Let’s demystify the tricky lingo and get you well-acquainted with the art of highlights, so by the end of this blog, you’ll not only understand what these terms mean but also how to effectively communicate your hair dreams to your colorist.

1. Subtle Highlights

Instagram/ @_beyou.nique_;@revelina.tokromo

Subtle highlights are an ideal way to blend grey hair with dark hair without making a drastic change. By adding highlights just a few shades lighter than your natural color, you can soften the contrast between the grey and the dark hair. Celebrities like Salma Hayek have been seen sporting this look, which adds a touch of brightness while maintaining a natural appearance.

How to Achieve This Look:

  • Consult with your stylist to choose the right shade for your highlights.
  • Opt for foil or balayage techniques to apply the highlights.

Transitioning to Grey Hair with Highlights

Aging gracefully often includes making the decision to let natural silver strands shine through. Whether you’re ready to embrace your grey hair fully or prefer a gradual change, blending grey hair with highlights can be a beautiful and stylish option. This guide explores the best techniques for transitioning to grey hair with highlights, ensuring a vibrant and multi-tonal look.

But worry not! Today, we’re here to bridge the gap between hair stylists and clients, bringing clarity and peace (well, at least in the world of hair!). Let’s demystify the tricky lingo and get you well-acquainted with the art of highlights, so by the end of this blog, you’ll not only understand what these terms mean but also how to effectively communicate your hair dreams to your colorist.

How to Transition to Grey Hair

1. Grow Out Your Grays Gradually

Letting your grey roots grow out naturally can create a seamless transition. As new growth appears, the contrast between grey and previously dyed hair will gradually lessen. This method requires patience, as the full transition can take several months. To maintain a polished look during this period, consider using root touch-up products to camouflage the regrowth.

2. Get Highlights or Lowlights

Adding highlights or lowlights in shades similar to your natural grey can create a blended, multidimensional look. This technique is particularly effective for those with lighter hair, as it helps integrate the greys more naturally. A professional colorist can strategically place highlights to complement your specific hair color and grey pattern.

3. Cut Your Hair Shorter

Opting for a shorter haircut can speed up the transition process. By trimming off the colored ends, you’ll reveal more of your natural grey growth. This approach is ideal for those seeking a dramatic change and can make the transition faster and more noticeable.

4. Use Blue or Purple Shampoos

Grey hair can sometimes develop unwanted yellow or brassy tones. Blue or purple shampoos and conditioners can help neutralize these hues by depositing cool pigments onto the hair. These products keep your greys looking fresh and bright. Be sure to follow the instructions to avoid over-toning.

Benefits of Transitioning to Grey with Highlights

Adding highlights to grey hair offers several benefits:

  • Enhances Natural Beauty: Softer, lighter tones enhance the natural beauty of grey hair.
  • Blends Grays Seamlessly: Blending techniques create a balanced, blended appearance.
  • Gradual Transition: Highlights allow for a gradual transition to grey, avoiding drastic changes.
  • Reduces Salon Time and Costs: Highlights reduce the frequency of salon visits compared to full hair dye.
  • Adds Dimension and Volume: Highlights add depth and volume, making hair look fuller.

Choosing the Right Highlights

Go 2-3 Shades Lighter

Selecting highlights 2-3 shades lighter than your natural color creates a subtle, blended look with your grey hair. This prevents the highlights from appearing dull against the grey strands.

Use Ash or Beige Tones

Ash and beige tones are ideal for blending with grey hair, as they counteract any unwanted brassiness. Cooler ash tones, in particular, help maintain a natural look.

Face-Framing Highlights and Balayage

Place Highlights Around the Face

Strategically placing highlights around the face brightens your complexion and camouflages grey roots as they grow.

Ask for Balayage Highlights

Balayage is a highlighting technique that creates a soft, natural blend of colors without a stark regrowth line, making it perfect for grey hair.

Consider Glosses or Toners

Using toning glosses or treatments after highlighting can enhance the chosen tone while adding shine and luster to the hair.

Complementary Colors for Grey Hair

Jewel Tones

Rich purples, sapphire blues, and emerald greens add a luxurious look to grey hair. These bold colors create a sophisticated and polished vibe.

Warm Reds, Corals, and Pinks

Warm shades like red, coral, and pink provide a beautiful contrast to grey hair, adding vibrancy and youthfulness.

Plums, Wines, and Burgundies

Deep reddish purples and reds blend seamlessly with grey hair, adding richness and warmth.

Navy Blues and Forest Greens

Navy blues and forest greens offer a striking color combination with ash grey hair, providing depth and sophistication.

Soft Pastels

Dusty pastel shades like pale pinks, blues, and lavenders add a delicate, romantic touch to grey hair.

Metallics

Shimmery metallics like silvers and pewters enhance the lustrous tones of grey hair, creating a modern, edgy look.

Caring for Grey Hair for African Hair Types

For Black individuals with grey hair, specific care is essential to maintain the health and vibrancy of their hair. Grey hair can be more prone to dryness and coarseness, making it crucial to use the right products and techniques.

Choosing the Right Relaxer for Grey Hair

Not all relaxers are suitable for grey hair. Using the wrong type can lead to undesirable effects, such as yellowing or increased brittleness. It’s important to select a relaxer that is gentle and specifically formulated for grey hair.

One example of a safe choice is using a no-lye relaxer, which is typically milder and less likely to cause yellowing. However, always conduct a patch test and consult with a professional stylist before applying any relaxer to grey hair.

Preventing Yellowing

Using the wrong relaxer or over-processing can turn grey hair yellow. This was the case with my mother, who has beautiful white-grey hair. She used a kid’s relaxer to straighten her hair, and unfortunately, it turned her hair yellow. To prevent this, avoid using products not intended for grey hair and incorporate a blue or purple shampoo into your routine to neutralize any yellow tones.

Before You Get Highlights Read This

Hi beautiful! Have you ever found yourself at a salon, ready to transform your look, only to get tangled in a web of hair terminology with your stylist? Picture this: you’re sitting in the chair at Perfektion Hair Salon in Houston, discussing the vibrant highlights you envision, maybe starting at eye-level with a gradient effect towards lighter ends, and just a hint of shadowy depth here and there. Your stylist throws around terms like “babylights,” “balayage,” and “root smudges,” and suddenly, you feel lost in a hair jargon jungle.

But worry not! Today, we’re here to bridge the gap between hair stylists and clients, bringing clarity and peace (well, at least in the world of hair!). Let’s demystify the tricky lingo and get you well-acquainted with the art of highlights, so by the end of this blog, you’ll not only understand what these terms mean but also how to effectively communicate your hair dreams to your colorist.

What Are Highlights?

At the core, highlights are those lighter strands woven into your hair to add dimension and movement. They’re a fantastic way to enhance your hair’s vibrancy, making it look healthier and more radiant. When light hits these lighter pieces, it reflects beautifully, giving your hair that sought-after gloss. Essentially, incorporating highlights into your color treatment can elevate your look, making it appear more natural and professionally done.

Babylights and Hair Painting

These are delicate highlights that mimic the subtle, sun-kissed strands seen in children’s hair. They’re perfect for adding a touch of brightness without overwhelming your natural hair color.

2. Balayage

Often mispronounced and misunderstood, balayage is a French coloring technique developed in the 1970s. It’s a freehand technique where the color is applied by hand rather than using the traditional foiling or cap highlighting techniques. This approach offers a more natural look, creating a soft, graduated color effect that remains sought after decades later.

3. Root Smudges and Shadowing

These techniques involve darkening the roots to create depth and continuity in color, especially useful when blending natural hair color with highlights. It’s a popular choice for those seeking a low-maintenance solution to growing out highlights.

Full vs. Partial Saturation

  • Full Saturation Hair Painting: This technique involves painting both sides of the hair strand, ensuring thorough coverage and a bold transformation. It’s ideal for those looking to make a dramatic change and want maximum impact from their highlighting session.

  • Partial Saturation Hair Painting: For a more understated look, partial saturation targets only the outer layers of the hair. This method is perfect for adding a natural shimmer and depth, enhancing your hair without an all-over lightening effect. It’s also particularly effective for darker hair types or when introducing someone to highlights. By applying the lighter color only to the top layers, we create subtle dimension without an overpowering contrast. It’s ideal for those testing the waters of hair coloring, allowing for a gradual increase in intensity over multiple visits to Perfektion Hair Salon.

YouTube Star Brad Mando's Take on Highlighting

Babylights and Fine Weave Highlights

Using foils to incubate heat, babylights offer an ultra-fine, delicate highlight that blends seamlessly into your natural hair. They create just a hint of lightness, offering a sparkle without overwhelming the base hair color. Perfect for those seeking a subtle enhancement, they provide a fresh and light appearance.

Sliced Highlights

For those seeking a bold and vivid highlight, slicing is your go-to method. By taking large sections of hair and applying a generous amount of lightener, this method is both time-efficient and dramatic. It’s customizable too—thin slices for subtle effects or thicker ones for a bolder look. Sliced highlights are a stylist’s tool for creating striking contrasts quickly and effectively.

The Magic of Toners and Glosses

Toner and Gloss: Often the unsung heroes of hair coloring, toners and glosses adjust the final hue of your highlights, adding the perfect finish. They can transform overly bright or brassy tones into soft, luxurious colors that shine. Whether cooling down or warming up your highlights, these products fine-tune the color to perfection.

The Finishing Touches: Root Smudge and Face-Framing Highlights

Root Smudge or Root Shadow: This technique blends the highlights with your natural hair color at the roots, offering a gradual, natural-looking outgrowth. It’s ideal for those who prefer a low-maintenance hairstyle that doesn’t require frequent touch-ups.

Face-Framing Highlights (Money Piece): These highlights are placed around your face to illuminate and accentuate your features. They can be as subtle or bold as you prefer, but always work to draw attention to your face, enhancing your natural beauty.
