Do you blow dry your hair?

 If you prefer blow drying your hair because it's the most convenient way of doing it, and you know that blow drying adds volume, also keep in mind that it can be dangerous to your hair. It can make hair very brittle because of the heat. Keeping that in mind I strongly recommend using Bio Ionic Styling Appliances which causes no heat damage to your hair. The Bio Ionic appliances also infuse moisture & seal hair cuticles, and they lock out humidity and improve your hairs texture.

But remember before you blow dry your hair, blot the water out with a towel first. And it is VERY IMPORTANT not to hold the dryer too close to your head. Always remember that your hair is fragile. Be careful while handling it and it will thank you with more "good hair days."

Great Volumizing Tip...

Going out for dinner and you're in a rush? Try our simple volumizing tip.

Long Layers - Still in for 2009

Are you one of those women terrified of chopping off your locks? Don't worry. The long and layered look is still in for 2009. So whether you're going for the long, Kate Bekinsale or Cheryl Crow look, make sure the details of the cut and color flatter your face.

Color your hair to a rich medium cocoa brown and accent it with a few slices of a contrasting warm carmel. 

At home use the best products available.  At Christopher Stephens we recommend Rene Furterer.  Their products will condition the hair but leave it weightless with incredible shine and frizz free.

And if you have one of those hair stylists that just want to cut it off,  tell them to stick it.  It's true there are a lot of short styles in also - but there is  a good chance your stylist is just a little lazy and doesn't want to blow dry your precious locks.
