Seasons come and go and you feel you need a change. You always think about changing your look but you never take the decision. After all what should you go for? A new hairstyle? A daring colour, or an extreme haircut? You might even be afraid that what you have thought won't fit you and you are confused!

Girl we got you!

Before actually do the right thing for your look, discuss those 5 points with your hairdresser and dispelled all ambivalence.

1. Explain your Personal Style

The moment you enter the hair salon we will be able to tell what’s your style. Are you Rock or classic chic – Boho or Riot Girl – we could tell!

However, its necessary to discuss and reveal more about your personal style and taste with your hairdresser. Are you going for a radical style change? Do you want to experiment with the fashion trends? It’s important to understand that whatever your personal style is, your hair is the one that will communicate that style holistically to the outside world and highlight your personality.

2. Mention any scalp problems you have.

Think your hairdresser as your personal hair doctor. You have to be sincere with him/her and always share if you have any scalp issues, such as dryness for example.

In case there is a problem with you scalp, you hairdresser will take care of you in the wash-basin (you might need to undergo some special scalp treatments) and he/she will avoid demanding and hard techniques that might enhance the problem, such as decoupage.

3. Mention the environment where you spend most of the day as well as your activities.

It is widely known that the environment affects our hair f your job is a chef in a restaurant for example then it is very likely that your hair will become oilier than it should due to working conditions, or you may be in an office that has air conditioning and this will dry out your hair more. You may also go to the gym often and do intense exercise during the week, then you're almost certainly sweating and probably need to wash more often.

These factors will help your hairdresser to guide you in making the right choice for a hair change, as it is very likely that you will need to change your hair routine to something more demanding. That might involve more styling and more visits to the hair salon to align your daily routine with your new look.

4. And since we talked a little about routine and lifestyle, the next topic of conversation is to explain more about your hair routine.

Once you sit down with your hairdresser to discuss what change you want to make to your hair, he/she will have already scanned the quality of your hair and will know whether you have textured or fine hair. Now it your moment to discuss your hair drama!

Your hair doesn't set and frizz, it’s flat without volume, when you wash your hair, what products you use, what's your go-to hairstyle, how you prefer your parting, and much more!

There is a high chance that you are treating your hair poorly and that this is affecting the overall behaviour of your hair. Then along with the change in your look will inevitably come the change in your hair routine. This will include tips on how to treat your hair correctly from shampooing to products for quick and easy styling - and finally that change you've been wanting for so long will be the most correct decision you've ever made!

5. Emphasize to your hairdresser the features you love on your face!

No we don’t consider you as a show off! Quite the contrary, we admire women who love, take care themselves and embrace all their beauty, even the less favourite parts of their image. That’s confidence, don’t you agree?

So, its time to express loud and clear what you love about your face! Maybe the change you need is as small as a fringe! Your hairdresser will help you bring out your beautiful face with a haircut or change your hair colour to highlight more of your eye colour!

Whatever your final decision on changing your hair, big or small, it's time to do it! Just trust the expert, discuss without shame, show your true self and the result will be better than you thought! Are you still thinking about it?

Here we are! ^2nd lockdown…

It's not something we're excited about, we're all waiting patiently, staying indoors all day until we can resume our boring normality.

Just because we stay at home doesn't mean we neglect to take care of ourselves!

Think of the lockdown as a great opportunity to take care of yourself more than ever!

Being in your pyjamas all day and your hair in a bun that you have kept for days will not help your psychology and the positive energy in the house.

That's why in this article we suggest you an easy no-make-up look and hairstyle to look fresh and charming at home!

Make up

First and foremost, you should wash your face twice a day—in the morning and at night. This calls for moisturizing and cleansing!

Mix two drops of your favorite foundation into your moisturizer, or use a tinted moisturizer if you have one, for the natural no-makeup look.

Apply a layer of mascara and lip balm to moisturise the lips.

Optionally: If you don't have an oily face, apply Laouta shimmer oil to it instead of foundation for a shimmering glow. Top it off with a transparent lip gloss or a little colour from your favourite lipstick over your lip balm.

Hairstyle

We suggest you combine this no-makeup look with a wet hairstyle, here is how!

By combing your hair with your fingers, apply a sufficient amount of sea salt spray or hair gel to the roots, placing it where you prefer: all on the back or side and behind the ears.

Finally, apply hairspray to firm them.

If you just have washed your hair and you don’t want to use any products, opt for a loose braid to keep the hair away from the face.

Pro tip!

If you have a dry scalp apply hair oil to your roots and let it act as a treatment while your hair will have a wet look!

Don't forget to take off your pyjamas and replace them with a cozy sweater and comfy pants to finalize your indoors look!

There is no doubt that men's hair plays a special and important role in their overall image and self-confidence.

We're going to help men with tips from the hair experts at B.A.M. Hair Salon and cover everything from how to take care of their hair to how to improve the quality of their hair.

We believe we can help all of you who care about your image and want to improve your hair routine.

1. Dry your hair the right way

If you're the kind of guy who gets out of the shower and vigorously rubs his hair almost frantically with a towel thinking it will dry quickly, don't do it.

Your hair is more sensitive when it's wet, which means that when you rub it vigorously with the towel, this friction creates damage to the hair and causes it to break.

Instead, use the towel dabbed into your hair, moving the towel in the direction of the hair length.

2. Control the heat

If you are blow drying your hair, don't use the heat to the max. This is a rule of thumb for men's hair routine as too hot air from the dryer as well as too hot water during the wash will make your hair very dry and dehydrated.

Pay extra attention if you have an oily scalp, as washing with very hot water and very hot air from the dryer will aggravate the problem of greasiness.

The best solution is to let your hair dry naturally, but if that's not always possible, lower the heat on your blow dryer!

3. Don’t overdo it with hairstyling products

The is no problem using products for your hair, but do not overdo it because it will make your hair heavier messing with their natural flow and movement.

A small amount of styling product is enough to perfect your look by applying it mainly on the mids - ends of the hair, avoiding the roots.

4. Do not use 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner

Healthy and pretty hair always start with the right washing of the hair and use of the appropriate products tailored for the hair type.

Read here for the right way to wash your hair.

To wash your hair properly you should use sulfate-free shampoo and always finish with a separate conditioner.

Commercial 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner products will do nothing more than clean your hair. You definitely need to finalize your shampooing with conditioner to give your hair the moisture it needs.

Read here for the differences between the commercial and professional hair products.

5. Cut your hair often

To look well-groomed always remember to get a haircut often to maintain the shape and length of your hair.

Make your next salon appointment on every visit and procrastinate taking care your image.

6. Try to have a balanced diet

Good nutrition is essential and plays a very important role in the health of your hair. Perhaps even more than you think.

So it is very important to eat foods that will provide the micronutrients in your body.

All the above tips will help you to build a proper hair routine and help you keep your hair healthy and well-nourished.

Do you want to cut your hair because you're getting bored of it, or are you fed up with having the same hair length for years?

If you're thinking of changing your look, read below what haircut and styling suits you depending on your face shape!

In this article we will analyse 3 basic face shapes: Round, Square and Oval.

Round face:

As round face shape we refer to when your horizontal and vertical proportions are equal.

The upper chin of your face cover most of its surface and your jaw is probably also round.

If you have a round face, choose haircuts that make your face look longer, keeping the length of your hair at the height of your chin - the shortest. Styling with the haircut should not make your face look wider.

Avoid:

• Short bangs
• Parting your hair on the side
• Hair length above the chin and pixie cuts

Go for:

• Long straight or even wavy hair
• Parting your hair in the middle
• Lob or long frames
• Layers

Square face:

As a square face shape we refer to straight side lines with a minimal chin curve and your jawline has angles.

The ratio in the square face is equal vertically and horizontally.

If you have a square face, choose a fresh and ethereal haircut and styling to soften the sharp angles of your face.

Avoid:

• Square and straight haircuts
• Parting your hair in the middle
• Rich and straight bangs

Go for:

• Sparse bangs
• Short and medium hair lengths
• Fringe on the side
• Layering complimenting your face

Oval face:

As an oval face shape, we refer to a wider version of a round face.

You have an oval face if your chin remains rounded, but the length of your face is longer than its width.

The oval face is the ideal- balanced face that can support most hair styles.

Decide your haircut and hair styling depending on which features you want to emphasize the most.

Avoid:

• Haircuts and hairstyles that will hide your features
• Any haircut will draw attention away from your face

Any length

• Bangs
• New trends
• New trends

Balayage technique is the most popular trend in hair colouring since 2017.

The untamed, natural result of this technique is achieved when the hairdresser, according to your needs creates beautiful colour shades to your hair. Specifically, the hairdresser applies colour to your mids and ends of the hair avoiding colouring your roots. In such way the result looks natural and creates a gradual change effect from your natural colour to the one you prefer.

The reverse balayage is based on the same philosophy – the gradual change effect of your hair colour. Only this time the lighter tones are on your roots and the darker on the mids and ends.

So, colour application is performed in reverse.

Reverse balayage in order to create the ordinary balayage

We can apply reverse balayage in order to create the original balayage in highligheted hair or all fully dyed blond hair.

The hairdresser applies the same technique, only this time focuses on your hair roots and mids to create this gradually change effect close to your natural colour.

We are not sure if Greek girls will prefer the reverse balayage trend, but we know for sure that this trend is here to stay!

For many women the moment of their wedding is something they dream ever since they were young! From the moment you said «Yes», you are already one step closer to bringing to life your ever dreaming wedding!

We know that for many of you finding and selecting the right makeup and hairstyle is equally important as finding and selecting the right Bridal dress.

We feel you. You should be able to look back in awe of the pictures and the videos of the most important day of your life.

Planning your bridal look is just as important as planning the final details of your wedding!

God bless Pinterest, the ideas for bridal hairstyles are abundant.However, pictures alone are not enough to provide a wholesome hairstyle inspiration.

B.A.M. hairsalon experts are here to share with you some tips to achieve the look of your dreams on the most special day of your life!

How to choose the right Bridal Hairstyle

The options are indeed limitless. Do you prefer your hair up in a bun? Or you prefer them loose and wavy?

Take under consideration the listed factors, before opting for a hairstyle

1. The style of the wedding dress

Number one priority is to find the right wedding dress that matches your style, look and personality.. Therefore, you should go for a wedding hairstyle that will be complementing your overall look rather than taking the lead

In case you go for a simple and minimal wedding dress, then you could do something extra impressive with your hair.

If on the other hand, you go for a Grande-style wedding dress with decorations and rhinestones, choose something simpler to do to your hair.

If you have a backless wedding dress, side-swept hair will highlight this feature very well.

You could easily fall for the trap of searching inspiration in hairstyles that does not suit your hair type. The length and density of the hair play a very important role in coming up with a hairstyle that you've seen and like.

With or without veil?

If you are thinking about wearing a veil, you should keep in mind that it will be difficult to maintain a high bun or hairstyle with volume under the veil.

If you choose to wear some hair accessories or a headpiece, remember to take them into consideration when you are selecting your bridal hairstyle.

Season

The season of the wedding is a factor that can help you narrow down some option when you select your wedding dress and hairstyle.

For example, it would be more beneficial if you would catch your hair in a summer wedding. In that way, you would be more comfortable, light and cool!

The goal is to enjoy the process of preparing to be a bride and find the right dress and hairstyle.

We hope these 3 tips have helped you pick out your bridal hairstyle!

The 90's left its mark on fashion and style. On the one hand confused trends and yelled for attention and on the other hand kept the style vibes in quiet tones with a sense of nostalgia and carefree.

While in the 80s the trend was volume, in the 90s it was a sense of nostalgia and minimal styling.

The hairstyles of the '90s have returned a few decades later to the 2020s, highlighting the carefreeness and innocence of an era that is hard to believe was 30 years ago.

So, we thought we'd share with you some '90s hairstyles that have come back in 2020!

1. 1. Space Buns

Space buns are two buns held high on the head.

Today we see them worn in thoroughly messy or French braids at the bottom.

2. 2. Half Up DO

Half-tied hair was a very classic hairstyle of the 90s. From casual to formal hairstyle with a tight curl and lots of gold dust hairspray, this hairstyle was very popular back then!

Today we see all the Hollywood celebrities wearing it either in straight or wavy hair, combining it with impressive winged eye makeup and shiny accessories or choker necklaces like Ariana Grande.

You can find also a tutorial on how to do Ariana Grande's half bun on our YouTube channel! Watch the video and make it yourself!

3. 3. Highlights and tufts framing the face

Lately the two highlights in front of the face have become a very popular technique which has returned from the 90s. Back then, they used to dye two thick strands on the front part. Today, to make this style more elegant and fashionable we make the highlights more subtle usually combining it with the balayage technique

If you don’t want to dye the front tufts of your hair, but still want to achieve the framing effect, you can simply create a hairstyle which allows the two front tuft fall next to your face and catch the rest of the hair on the back.

4. 4. Scrunches hair accessories.

Fluffy fabric hair bands in bright colours or velvety textures were the classic '90s accessory for braids, buns or half-tied hair!

They came back in style, stronger than ever in 2020!

We highly recommend it, as an accessory because it doesn't crack the hair and pulling them is a piece of cake!
