I couldn’t forget about plopping curls! If the word plopping has you 🤔 then this ones for you too gf!

〰️Results: You can plop to encourage volume and for more curl definition

🤎Why it’s a love method: Convenience and its a great technique for little curlies

💭A curl specialists thoughts: You can lose some control of your end result with this method however, it is a great to utilize when you have a busy schedule.

🗓How to incorporate into your routine: Start off plopping curls with a cotton tshirt or flour sack towel for 10-15 mins. Diffuse or air dry until full dry.

Would you be shocked if I told you I am 100% okay with you not sharing everything that is going on in your life during your session?

Don’t get me wrong. Connecting with my guests is a fav part of what I do. However, it is YOUR experience.

If your idea of a perfect hair appointment is

🗓How to incorporate into your routine: Diffuse first for 10-15 mins. Finish drying by air dry.

Look no further than the CURL EXPRESS session ✂️

The CURL EXPRESS was perfect for Jasmines last haircut. She was loving her length, only wanted to clean her shape up, was feeling confident in her styling and wanted to add some fun fringe to her look.

Since we don’t shampoo and fully styling during a CURL EXPRESS, arriving with her hair styled, dry and with a cast form her hold products Jasmine was prepared of this session.

After her cut, we discussed some refreshing techniques and went over how her styling would change with her new fringe.

So next time you just need your curl shape refreshed, reserve the CURL EXPRESS session 😉

If you are just starting your curl journey or years in, here’s how to have the most success.

Get yourself a curl bestie...AKA A CURL SPECIALIST.

Because 2 heads are better than 1.👯‍♀️

Imagine discussing all of your curl highs and lows with someone who works with them all day. Hello stress free curl routine.

My #1 session to start this connection is the CURL ESSENTIALS

⭐️This session is perfect for new clients who want to establish a foundation of curl confidence with a custom dry curl haircut.

⭐️To get the most out of this session you should arrive with your hair fully dried and styled with products as you usually style. Id say day 1 is best. Just be sure to avoid braids, clips, hats, or anything that will change your curl pattern so your cut can truly be customized to each curl.

⭐️During your session you can expect a personalized dry cut based off of your curl patterns, a shampoo with any treatments your curls need, a recorded guided style to refer back to later and a full diffuse dry.

⭐️We will discuss your at home maintenance and when your next cut should be (between 3-6 months) for overall curl health. Dont stress about remembering. You will receive a reminder email 1 month prior so you can easily reserve your next session.

Here’s to new curl besties and new connections 🙌🏽

Go ahead and mark "remember to reserve next hair session" off of your to do list. ✔️

Visiting Oasis Curl Studio needs to be relaxing in every sense.

📧When its time for your next session, you'll receive a reminder email from me with all the details you need to make your next reservation.

I got you gf. So breathe that sigh of relief and get back to planning your next adventure with your fam.

I was shocked to learn that ingredients in beauty products can contribute to numerous health issues.

Health issues like imbalanced hormones, migraines and even auto immune issues.

After being diagnosed with an auto immune illness myself in 2019, I dove deeper into the products I was using on my clients and myself.

This led me to Innersense Organic Beauty. A product line that creates beautiful products without ingredients such as:

❕phthalates-endocrine disrupters

❕Exothylates- exposed to chemicals during processing

❕polyquaternium- environmental contaminants

The product you choose to use on your hair should give you so much more than beautiful results.

It should give you peace of mind and confidence that you are caring for health each time you apply it.

Do you avoid diffusing your curls simply because you don’t love the results it gives?

Let me help you.

When it comes to styling your curls remember they are happiest when they are hydrated.

Diffusing can go wrong quickly if steps weren’t taken to maintain that hydration because…diffusing is taking water OUT of you hair.

Here’s how to get the best results next time you diffuse those beautiful curls

Thoroughly apply product🙌🏽
Hair without product is hair that may not retain water. Make touching every hair with product your INTENTION as you apply.

Use a stronger hold product🔒
Products with hold will lock water into your hair by creating a cast. This cast will prevent your hair from immediately expanding or frizzing.

Hover first, scrunch second
Start off with hovering the diffuser over your curls. Do this until a cast starts to form or your hair has some crunch to it. Once the cast is there, you can start scrunching. Scrunching before a cast forms can remove your product which can cause your hair to frizz because water wasn't locked in properly.

Save this post for your next wash day & it will be like I am diffusing your curls with ya!

Or you can go for the real deal and reserve a Curl Essentials or Curl Discovery session and I will do it for you😉

Is this okay to admit?

I have a favorite session.🤭

The Curl Essentials session is hands down my favorite session that I offer at a Oasis Curl Studio

If you are struggling with styling, we talk about it.

If you've had bad experiences with your curls in a salon, we talk about it.

If you are sure how often you should wash your curls, we talk about it.

If you have a million products but none are giving you the results you want, we talk about it.

You name it, we talk about it during the Curl Essentials session. Plus you get your follow up email with your curl confidence guide, your personal styling tutorial AND a reminder email when you need to reserve your next session.

I promise after your first Curl Essentials session you will look and feel as confident as Teresa, and the Curl Essentials might just be your fav as well.

I want to make your salon experience a memorable one

Its more than just getting your hair done. Its an opportunity to be reminded how valuable you are, to feel refreshed and to truly relax.

Sometimes that looks like a reservation filled with T.Swift over the speaker, catching up and laughing about random life stories that have happened since I've seen you last.

Sometimes it looks like chillin' in the salon chair and the only sound is soft tune if Alina Baraz

Whatever you choose, I am here for girl. Remember this time is yours so enjoy it however best suits you that day.

Guess what my friend...

You already have the BEST product your curls could EVER need.

If you guessed water, you are absolutely correct.

Water is your curls multi vitamin. Your curls NEED water to be defined, combat unwanted frizz and even hold a style for a few days.

TRY THIS
Don't take any water out of our hair until AFTER you apply your styling products. This will allow your products to support the water in your curls by drawing and locking it into your curls.

Now go on and give yourself a huge 🙌🏽 because you are already winning.

What is the one mistake I often see when it comes to caring for your curls?

PRODUCT APPLICATION

The good news is you are already doing things right by selecting a product to help support your hairs hydration.💧

If you want to take that up a notch, I recommend applying your product with the intention of touching every hair with product.

👌🏽This will guarantee that every hair from roots to ends has the support to maintain hydration.

An easy way to do this is to section your hair and rake the product through.

Do you avoid diffusing your curls simply beacause you don’t know how?

Let me help you.

When it comes to styling your curls remember they are happiest when they are hydrated.

Diffusing can go wrong quickly if steps weren’t taken to maintain that hydration because…diffusing is taking water OUT of you hair.

Here’s how to get the best results next time you diffuse those beautiful curls

Thoroughly apply product
Hair without product is hair that may not retain water. Make touching every hair with product your INTENTION as you apply.

Use a stronger hold product
Products with hold will lock water into your hair by creating a cast. This cast will prevent your hair from immediately expanding or frizzing.

Pay attention to your settings.
Starting off with a low heat and medium air flow will allow you to see how your hair is responding to water being taken out of your curls. Keep the same setting for a few mins and adjust to a higher airflow if you aren’t seeing too much frizz. I like to keep a low to medium heat throughout drying.

Save this post for your next wash day & it will be like I am diffusing your curls with ya!

Fool proof way to maintaining your color.

Every 6-8 weeks.
It's between this time that your glaze which determines the color of your lightened pieces will start to fade. A Refresh session will maintain the color of your lighter pieces with a glaze. This is also the perfect time to add a strengthening treatment to encourage consistent curl on those lightened areas.

Every 4 months
You can reserve the Maintenance session at this time which is perfect for creating a dimensional look to the top of you hair and around your face. If you are new to a lower maintenance color this session is a great way to experience it on the top of your head and around your face.

Every 6 months
The Complete session is the perfect session for creating/refreshing a dimensional look throughout your entire head. Summer & Spring may bring some more brightness. Fall & winter may bring some darker tones. Or you can make your own rules and do what you want!

What three words hold the secret to spending your time exactly how you want it and always having beautiful hair while doing so?

LIVED-IN COLOR

So what the heck is it?

It is a technique that includes your natural color to create dimension and allows your hair to grow without creating a visible line.

Allows you to go longer between lightening sessions.

Can be customized for all colors.

AKA Low maintenance color or dimensional color.

Who doesn't want to receive compliments months they got their hair done while spending time with their special people because their color is still perfection?

Here it is. The secret to finding that perfect lived in inspo photo to show your stylist for your curls.

•Choose a photo with a similar curl pattern to yours
Different curl patterns will show color differently. This will give you a realistic idea of what your hair might look like with this color.

•Make sure the root color is similar to yours
Lived in/ low maintenance color is all about embracing your natural hair color. If the root color is lighter than yours, it may require more maintenance.

•An equal balance of light and dark
This will show off your curls in the best way. You want your color to allow your curls to stand out and show off their natural movement.

It’s proven that embracing your curls will have you feelin like a real baddie.

Which is no surprise here because you are literally showing up for your truest self.

Combine that with a curl session to truly understand your curls and how to care for them.

I’d call that a perfect match for long te baddie confidence👌🏽

I've been told this numerous times. " I appreciate knowing what I can expect. It takes away some of that anxiety of meeting someone new or going to a new location."

I get it.

Seeing a new stylist can bring up some nerves.

It is very important to me that you feel confident with who you are meeting, where you are going, how to contact me and how to arrive before your first session.

Shortly after reserving your first session with me, you will receive your Welcome Guide via email. It contains everything you for our time together.

The only thing left to do is arrive ready to love on yourself.

You've decided it is time you see a curl specialist but you have no idea where to even start in finding one.

Maybe you are dreading the search all together and have been putting it off completely.

Either way I want you to be excited about finding a curl specialist to care for you and your curls. It means you are one step closer to confidently showing yourself and your curls the love you deserve.

A good ol Google search for Curl Specialist in ______(insert your city) is the best place to start.

From there I recommend reading the reviews from the top 3-5 that show in the search. Reviews are left by other Curly Babes who were once in your shoes and want to help out. Let them.

After reading reviews, check out the stylists website. There you can get to know them, what they offer and how their New Guest process works.

Check out their work. You can do this on their review site or head to a social platform like this one. If they have a guests with a variety of curl patterns, chances are they will know how to care for yours.

Do you ever feel like you are still searching for your place in the hair world? Like you wouldn't say you have ringlets but if you get caught in the rain you will certainly have some hair challenges☔️

I am not opposed to dancing in the rain but I want you to feel confident while doing so!

These are a few ways you can determine if you have enough movement in your hair to see a curl specialist.

•If you've ever used the word "Poufy" to describe you hair.
Poufiness AKA frizz is a key indication that you have some kind of curl, wav or coils in your hair.

•Humid climates & water will cause frizz
Curls, waves and coils all thrive off of water. If they don't have enough and are introduced to it in anyway, they will reach out for what they need.

•When your hair is wet, it has some bends to it but that doesn't last as it dries
Your hair is its happiest when it has water. If that water isn't retained or locked in, those bends cant stick around.

Wouldn't it be great to have someone guide you through these challenges? Seeing a curl specialist will help you understand why these things are happening and show you how to support your hair in the best way whether they dance a little or a lot in the rain.

What does it mean to me to be a holistic stylist?

It’s more than “just hair for me”

🌿Caring for your curls is a way you care for yourself daily and has an impact on your mental health

🌿A haircut, color or just understanding your curls can be the catalyst that pushes you to start making time for yourself.

🌿I believe what we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in it.

🌿 I believe in using brands that value sustainability & overall health equally.

🌿I created Oasis to be a space that refreshes you, strengthens you & reminds you that you are valuable & deserve to show yourself love everyday.

Here’s the easiest self care moment that everyone has time for!

I know you have to wash your hair.

Next time you do I want you to wash it ✌🏽 times.

🚿The first time will remove any product and sweat on your scalp
🚿The second time will clean your scalp properly.

& if you want to really spoil yourself, use my fav scalp scrub to make sure your scalp is in optimal health.

Amanda spends her time tending to a wild little dinosaur named Jonah.

She needed a style & routine that would be quick and stay out of her face.

So she could keep an eye on that precious dinosaur of course!

Here was our game plan..

1. Bangs would give her a style and help her resist the urge to always clip her hair up.

2. Shorter length = less time to wash and style.

3. Discussed applying product differently in specific areas to give her longevity of style and some definition as well.

Curl Essential sessions are all about personalizing your hair and routine to fit YOUR needs.

So you made it to my reservation site but you are stuck on which haircut session is best.

Let me help you out.

💫Curl Essentials
This session is the best option for new guests so we can establish a shape, a routine and teach you all you need to know about caring for your curls.

Existing guests will love this session if they are traveling to a different climates. Maybe they are in need of a scalp treatment and want to spend some extra time relaxing and having their hair styled for them.

💫Curl Express
Ideal for existing guests who are confident in their style routine, love their current shape and just want it cleaned up/trimmed. They would appreciate a shorter session so no shampoo is no biggy but they would like to learn new ways to refresh their hair on non wash days.

The wash day routine that all my guests follow for consistent results.

It looks a little like this..

🚿Make sure your hair is FULLY saturated with water first before doing anything.

🚿Double cleanse to guarantee your scalp is being properly cleansed.
This is especially beneficial if you go 2+ days between cleanses or you workout regularly. All the product, natural oils and sweat will be removed with the first cleanse and your scalp will be cleansed with the second.

🚿Apply conditioner to mid lengths and ends of hair. When applying, think about massaging the conditioner into your hair so your hair feels slimy and your curl clumps are poppin.

There you have it. Wash day 101. Be sure to try it on your next wash day and lmk what results you have😉
