The Art of Layering – Hair Products

The Art of Layering - Hair Products

Did you know that there is an art of layering hair products?

Did you also know, that if you put them on incorrectly you may either get an adverse effect or, they just won’t work the way they are meant to?

That’s why I am here! Don’t stress; it may explain why some of your styling products aren’t performing the way you expected them to.

Most styling products perform best when you remove 50% of the water out of your hair before applying them. The best way to do this is to wrap your hair up in a micro-fiber towel after washing.

*To prevent breakage, never rub your hair to get the water out. Always try to be gentle. Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle, starting from the bottom, and work your way up. Never rip through your hair aggressively; you will create breakage.

1st Step!

Your first layer of application should always be your Primers & Styling Creams. Think of this as you are “Prepping” your hair.

This is the step when you would apply the following products:

  • Restore Leave-In Conditioner
  • Rejuvabeads Split End Mender
  • Frizz-Fix Smoothing Hair Primer
  • Damage Repair Bond-Fortifying Leave-In Crème
  • Air Dry Cream

2nd Step!

This second layer is typical for any sprays or mousses that you will be using. Think of your “lighter” products being applied at this time. They tend to be more of the volume products.

This is the step when you would apply the following products:

  • Volume & Lift Spray
  • Reshape Root Lifter
  • Moxie Mousse

3rd Step!

The final layer is saved for your gels and blow-out creams. The “heavier” products are going to be protecting your hair from the heat. If you are using heat on your hair, even if it’s just blow drying, please use a heat protectant on it! It will help to keep your hair healthy and shiny!

This is the step when you would apply the following products:

  • Flexible Hold Gel
  • Blow Out Cream

While we are on the subject of heat be careful with the level of heat you use with your hot tools. The lower the heat the better for your hair. It’s best to use the lowest heat setting possible to achieve your desired style. I did a blog post; How Hot is Too Hot When Using Hot Tools. You can click here to check that out.

Helpful tips while applying styling products:

  • I like to recommend using a wide-tooth comb to gently comb through each product after application, so you get even distribution. There are exceptions to this rule: if the product directions don’t recommend you do this, or curly girls generally do not follow this rule.
  • When using a spray, use sections of hair, and be sure to spray at the roots and crown and not just on the outer layer of your hair.
  • Emulsify cream and lotions in your hands before applying and start in the back of your head and work your way forward. This way product will not be highly concentrated in one spot.

Concentrated & Naturally Based

Monat products are naturally based and concentrated, so you do not use as much of the product. Your products end up lasting longer than you are used to from using other products! So, how much should I use? See the guide below!

It's difficult sometimes when someone hurts us. We sometimes wonder why God "isn't doing anything" about the bad things in the world, or the bad people in our lives. 
But it isn't up to us. We only need to worry about ourselves. He sees it all, the good and the bad. And sometimes we only see a small part of what is really going on in someone's life. It is easy to make a judgment. It is difficult to 👇
Give it to God 🤍

There are a lot of benefits to having a dog, besides unconditional love. 🤍 Studies have shown that just petting a dog can:
• Lower your blood pressure
• Lower heart rate
• Slows breathing
• Relaxes muscle tension
I think Theo has been doing a good job of all of the above! I won't even get into what he does when I have a migraine. 🤯 Dogs are amazing. 🤍
Do you have a dog? Do you agree with what these studies have shown?

It took me a while to find some barstools that I liked. I didn’t want your classic ones. I wanted a coastal feel to them. I also didn’t want to spend an arm & a leg for them! Can you believe how expensive bar stools have gotten?! 🫣
I am a bargain shopper and I finally found these at @target of all places! I have them linked over on my 𝐋𝐓𝐊 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞 if you want to check them out. 👇

Happy Easter friends! Jesus' story didn't end on the cross. It only just began. 
Sometimes on our hardest days or toughest times in life we look back and realize it was the beginning of something good. 🤍

If you have read any of my blog posts over on 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐠 then you know that drinking your water is important for both healthy skin and hair. 
Our body is made up of about 50-70% water. So, staying hydrated is important! Experts recommend that you drink half your body weight in ounces. 
I was gifted this great water bottle to help me remember to drink my water from @venturepal_usa. It has such cute reminders on it to help keep you motivated throughout the day! They also come in different sizes and colors. 
How much water do you drink every day? I need to drink more so hopefully this will help! 🤍

The world around us can get stressful. We have become a society of being "honest" to the extent that it doesn't matter if it's true but it's that person's opinion. Opinions have become facts. I don't know about you, but a lot of this causes me anxiety. 
Do you struggle with anxiety? If not, you are lucky. But if you do all is not lost. The Bible talks about anxiety and worry. God doesn’t want us to be anxious, He wants us to come to Him for help. Remember, you are never alone! 
Head over to 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐠 to read our post, I'm Only Talking To Jesus Today! When I am worried and anxious, I often find myself going into this mode. 
We are sharing a few tools to help get you through those times. The link is in our profile! 🔗

This has been a rough week for a lot of us on many levels. What makes evil happy? Tearing each other apart, dividing, and breaking down. How do we overcome evil? With good. 
Be good. Be kind. Don't participate in the unkindness and negativity. And above all else, pray. 🤍
