Our hair is more than just strands. It's the crown on our heads deserving the best possible care.

In this article, we'll help you clarify which professional hair products are worth investing in for the best quality and health of your hair, in order of priority.

Research confirms what we intuitively know: 'bad hair days' can negatively affect our mood. Understanding the relationship between self-esteem, social confidence, and personal success underscores the importance of investing in the health and vitality of our hair.

While the price of drugstore hair products may be tempting, it's important to recognize that quality often comes with a price. Despite initial savings, cheaper products may sacrifice quality, leading to costs both in terms of product quantity and potential damage to the hair.

Are you considering transitioning from drugstore to quality, professional hair products?

Here are five compelling reasons why it's worth investing in salon-quality hair products:

  1. Quality Matters: Professional products offer higher concentrations of beneficial ingredients, providing superior nourishment compared to cheaper alternatives.
  2. Efficiency: A little goes a long way with luxury products, making them cost-effective in the long run.
  3. Innovation: Luxury brands invest in cutting-edge research, ensuring you get the latest advancements in hair care.
  4. Protection: Using salon-quality products protects your hair, preserving its color and health between salon visits.
  5. Environmentally Friendly: With natural ingredients and less waste, professional products are a greener choice.

Understanding Your Hair Products and Application Techniques

Quality vs Quantity: Investing in high-quality hair products with concentrated formulas saves money in the long run, as less product is needed for long-term benefits.

Shampoo: Used to clean the scalp, not the lengths and ends of the hair. Apply to the scalp, extending towards the hair without rubbing.

Conditioner: Essential for maintaining healthy hair. Skipping it risks hydration and nourishment. Apply to lengths and ends at the end of washing.

Hair Masks: Use once a week at most for hair treatments. Do not substitute them for conditioner every wash. Apply to lengths and ends, then follow with conditioner after rinsing.

Washday vs Styling Products: Quality washday products maintain hair health, while styling products improve desired appearance. Find balance and prioritize basics for optimal results.

Leave-in Conditioner vs Oil: Choose water-based products over oil for hydration and frizz control. Oil repels water, hindering hydration. Apply to ends only to seal moisture.

Blue + Purple Shampoos: Address hair discoloration at the salon rather than covering it up with color masks and purple shampoos.

Understanding hair products and mastering application techniques opens doors to healthier, more beautiful hair.

It's clear that you recognize the importance of taking care of your hair and are ready to invest in quality products. Here's a recommended priority sequence for your hair care routine:

  1. Shampoo: It forms the foundation of your hair care. Investing in a high-quality shampoo is vital for several reasons. First, superior formulations often feature gentle yet effective cleansers that thoroughly remove dirt, oil, and product buildup without stripping natural oils from the hair. Second, premium shampoos often contain higher concentrations of nourishing ingredients such as vitamins and minerals, which promote scalp health and hair growth. Finally, investing in a quality shampoo ensures that your hair remains vibrant, manageable, and free from common issues like dryness, frizz, and dullness.
  2. Conditioner: Locks in moisture and nourishment after shampooing. A premium conditioner is an indispensable investment for maintaining hydrated and healthy hair. Quality conditioners work to replenish moisture, detangle hair without damage, and seal the hair cuticle, resulting in smoother, more manageable hair with reduced frizz and breakage.
  3. Heat Protection: Shields hair from high temperatures. Blow-drying your hair is necessary after every wash. If you let your distressed hair air dry, believing it protects them, you are making the biggest mistake. On the other hand, if you do thermal styling on your hair every day without thermal protective products, this also damages the hair with irreversible damage many times. What you need to keep in mind is that you should always dry your hair after every wash, and even if you don't do thermal styling, a quality heat protection product is necessary before using heat.
  4. Leave-in Conditioner: Intensive nourishment for optimal results. Besides caring for your hair with products for washing, incorporating treatments after this and before drying is equally essential in some hair cases. Leave-in conditioner will greatly assist in nourishing hair that is very dry, fragile, and prone to frizz.
  5. Scalp Scrub: Taking care of your scalp health is essential for maintaining a healthy environment for hair growth. A healthy scalp promotes stronger, more resilient hair while preventing common issues such as dandruff, itching, and inflammation.
  6. Styling Products: Enhance your Signature Look. While cleansing products set the foundation for healthy hair, styling products play a crucial role in how you want to wear your hair. A thermal protection product and a hair spray can transform your hair. However, if you want more than just hair styling like volume, texture, or shaped curls, there are amazing premium styling products to enrich your hair product range that will give you the desired result.

Starting from the most important and essential hair products worth investing your money in, we recommend focusing on shampoo and conditioner. Heat protection product comes next as an equally essential product for protecting your hair from heat damage. Leave-in conditioner, scalp scrub, and styling products can be gradually added to your routine according to your needs.

We've talked many times about the damage caused by heat tools on hair when used daily, especially if you haven't properly prepped your hair.

Whether your hair looks dull, or it's breaking, or even if it's frizzy, the first thing you can do to bring back their health is to take a break from heat styling.

Let's clarify here that we don't mean drying your hair with a hairdryer, but rather styling your hair with any kind of heat tool.

And of course, you might be wondering: "How can I style my hair to keep it looking polished without using heat?"

The answer is Protective Hairstyles.

What are "protective hairstyles"?

When we talk about "protective hairstyles", we're referring to easy hairstyles that you can do either by yourself or at the salon to shield your hair from damage caused by the sun, sea, or heat styling tools.

The purpose of this article by the hair experts at bamhairsalon is to provide you with easy solutions and stylish ideas for always having well-groomed hair, effortlessly in just a few minutes, and of course, without any damage!

So, "protective hairstyles" are like the go-to cool hairstyles that don't mess up your hair, and it's a smart move to rock them even in winter to give your locks a breather from all that heat styling.

Who are they suitable for?

No-heat Hairstyles are suitable for all hair types.

They are highly recommended for those who have very damaged hair and want to start (or have already started) their journey to healthy hair. Always combined with a hair care routine with specific products and treatments.

1. Curls without using heat

An easy technique for any hair type, even for curly or frizzy hair.

You wrap your hair up with a fabric band or a scarf and sleep with it on. Keep in mind that when you sleep with your hair wrapped in a scarf, it drastically reduces frizz.

To keep your curls all day, use a styling product before you do the process.

Complete your hairstyle with hair oil and hairspray for hold.

Watch the tutorial here.

2. Messy Bun

Skip the tightly pulled bun if you want a super natural hair look that screams zero effort!

It will look fantastic if you curled your hair without heat the previous day, because your hair will have a bit of volume and the curls will have transformed into more relaxed waves.

If you haven't done any prep work on your hair, no worries at all!

If your hair is very straight, flip your head upside down and spray a bit of texturizing spray or holding spray onto your hair to give it some volume.

If your hair is wavy or curly, use just a leave-in conditioner to reduce frizz along the lengths and ends.

Get creative and add hair accessories if you want a more playful and girly chic hairstyle!

4. Hairstyles with scarves

Unfortunately, scarves are an underrated accessory.

However, if you consider the countless possibilities a scarf can offer in terms of women's styling, it's truly mind-blowing!

Scarves add an elegant touch to your outfit, whether you tie them around your neck, onto your bag, or in your hair. So, take out that scarf you've stashed in your closet and let's create three beautiful, stylish hairstyles to make you stand out!

Using scarf can also protect your hair from the sun's rays and reducing frizz!

We suggest giving it a try if you haven't had a chance to wash your hair, using a product to secure your hair and roots.

If your makeup changes within a few hours especially during the summer months, then you should read this helpful article by bamhairsalon expert Christina, even if you don't do full face make up!

  1. Prepare your skin

It is essential to have a facial routine that you follow strictly on a daily basis, depending on your skin type.

A well moisturized skin will help to get a flawless foundation finish without having an ugly texture on your foundation.

If you have a formal event to attend such as a wedding, do a great job of prepping your skin for deep hydration the night before.

The next day, cleanse your face with a light soap and avoid wearing facial moisturizer immediately before you start your makeup.

Ideally after cleansing with the soap, wear a hyaluronic acid serum and let it absorb for at least an hour before you start your makeup or even better, do this simple routine in the morning as soon as you wake up.

  1. Skin preparation before foundation

Before you start applying foundation, apply primer to face and eyes. A primer is a cream product that is applied before foundation.

Choose a primer according to your needs:

  1. a) If you want to reduce pores, choose a primer that will help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of deep pores
  2. b) If you want your skin to radiate, choose a primer with a metallic tint so your skin radiates shine.

 

  1. The first setting

Use setting spray to your face and wait 1 minute for it to be absorbed by the skin.

 

  1. Foundation

It's foundation time!

It's very important that the foundation you use is for your skin type, and is as stable as your concealer.

Apply a light 1st layer of foundation on your face and repeat with a 2nd layer especially on the areas that need coverage.

Avoid using too much foundation in places like under the eyes, between the eyebrows and forehead, and on the nostrils.

Use concealer for better coverage after foundation for better results under the eyes, but also to highlight the high points of your face.

  1. The second setting

Use setting spray again to set the foundation well into the skin.

Wait 1 to 2 minutes for the product to absorb before continuing your makeup application.

  1. Powder products vs. cream products

After applying the foundation to your face, it is very important to arrange your makeup products in the right order.

Remember that cream products go after foundation.

For a consistent makeup look, we don't recommend using cream products alone.

It would be a good idea to top it off with a powder product.

For example, if you have a creamy product to make contouring, the right time to apply it is after the foundation and on top of that you can reapply it with a bronzer powder.

The same goes for blush and eyeshadows.

  1. Lips and eyes

To make your lipstick firmer, apply concealer to your lips first. This will create a neutral and firm base where the colour you choose will come out much cleaner and more even.

After the concealer, use a lip pencil the same colour as your lipstick.

Paint the entire surface of the lips, not just the outline.

Finally, apply your lipstick to give the final effect to your lips.

You can use the same principle for your eye makeup. If you've applied primer to the eyes, you don't need to apply concealer, unless there are strong discolorations. The concealer will mainly serve that purpose.

  1. 8. Firming up the makeup

To firm up the makeup you have created, go over your face and especially places like under the eyes, T-zone, nostrils with a transparent light powder.

With the powder you will make the effect more matte and stop the burst of oil from the sensitive parts of the face.

  1. Add sparkle

Sparkle in makeup is a must.

Use highlighter in powder form and not cream on the high points of the face like the cheekbones.

The reason why highlighter comes in as a second to last step for a solid makeup application is because before you have set powder to your face, any creamy product will mess up the whole makeup texture creating intense patches that you won't be able to fix locally.

  1. The final set-up

Once you've perfected your makeup and taken care of all these details, use setting spray one last time.

The setting spray is the 3rd of the 10 steps to a solid makeup look. Don't skip it!

The primer also carries the same weight because is meant to hold the foundation in place for hours.

We hope we've helped you with these 10 steps to a solid makeup look!

You can apply any of these for a more casual, everyday or all of them together for an evening makeup look!

Remember that evening makeup, or makeup that we want to last for hours, is usually heavier and it's hard to overlook steps.

Remember that the makeup process is an enjoyable process that in the end brings an impressive result!

Take your time and enjoy it!

The beauty of winter lies in those moments when we come home and curl up by the fireplace. There in a beautiful corner of the house where we will snuggle in comfort and relax with a book.να βιβλίο.

Yes, winter is a very beautiful season. But unfortunately, the low temperatures, strong winds, even snow can "upset" our hair, freeze and dry it and we have to deal with a different, new hair routine.

Whether you are experiencing a major change in your hair's behaviour or not during different seasons, you should know that your hair routine should change as the seasons change.

Ideally, the change of hair routine from summer to winter should start in autumn. Just before the severe winter weather conditions hit.

However, it doesn't mean that now is too late to start.

Providing your hair with what it needs can only be a good thing.

So, understanding that the intense changes in the weather directly affect your hair health, let's go over the 4 steps for a winter hair routine.

  1. 1. Sparse hair washes

As hair experts we believe that the ideal frequency of your hair washes is according to your needs and preferences.

There is no right and wrong about the frequency of shampooing.

Depending on your own frequency of shampooing, we suggest during the winter to dilute the frequency of hair washes, as shampooing during cold weather can dehydrate your hair even more.

So, replace some washes per week (if you wash every day) with only conditioner (without shampoo) or use leave-in conditioner.

This will help hydrate and control fizziness in your hair.

  1. 2. Hydration is your best friend

The number one rule to beat winter is hydration.

Embrace hydration by selecting shampoos, conditioners and treatments aiming for hydration.

The hair treatments you use during the winter months should be for moisturizing and restructuring once per week.

For strong and better results, you should do a hair treatment at the salon at least once per month.

  1. 3. Add shine to your hair

Naturally, hair is duller during winter. However, there is a way to fix that.

Add shine to your hair by using shimmer shine oil that fixes and restructures hair. Such product works as a leave-in treatment that you don't rinse out from the hair. In this way it deeply nourishes hair by strengthening and locking in moisture!

  1. 4. Haircut appointment

Bad weather conditions, thick clothes, and fabrics we wear during winter create friction and result in hair breakage especially at the ends.

For that reason, it's very important to maintain your regular haircut schedule during the winter months to keep your hair healthy.

So, these are the simple 4 steps you will do to update your hair routine this winter.

Updating your routine in every season will help you to have beautiful and healthy hair all year round!

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!
