About: Salon West

So you’ve spent big bucks in a salon on your hair. Your hair looks beautiful. Gorgeous. Classy. 

On top of that, you don’t need to brush them for a few days because the beauty stays evergreen. Then, a few days end. You decided to wash it.

Pumpkins start showing up, but you don’t have the time to visit a stylist, or you feel it’s too early to have your hair worked on. What if you could work some magic on your hair to maintain it till your next visit to a New York City salon?

Here are 4 ways to maintain beautiful hair before the next visit to the stylist. 

Shampoos and conditioners are great beauty investments

Would you invest a lot of money in a car only to have it filled with water, instead of petrol?

The same applies to your hair. You don’t want to spend a lot of money at the salon styling your hair to the perfect look only to use low-quality shampoos. Invest in expensive, high-quality shampoo. Your hair will thank you enough. 

The right brush can help 

What if I tell you that brushes aren’t created equally? Some with top-notch quality. Some just there. Determine your hair type and what you’re looking to achieve with your hair. Here are a few hints about hair types. 

Use a Large round barrel brush when looking to promote full blowout. 

Use a Small round barrel brush for your smooth, short hair. 

Use a wide paddle brush to keep your long hair straight. 

Wash your hair, but not every day 

It’s essential to wash your hair, but not every day. It typically takes days for your hair to chunk off oils (which may irritate the hair). However, not everyone can do away with not washing the hair daily. Understandable. Dry shampoos, ponytails, updos, and braids can come to the rescue. Give them a try! 

A great blowout takes some time 

The truth is, great blowouts don’t happen overnight. It takes time. And dedication. Instead of expecting some magic blowout of your hair, why not spare some extra three times every week on a proper blowout? Check out these easy steps : 

Coat wet hair with a thickening or straightening product 

Segment your hair into sections. Hold them, preferably with clips. That way, you can turn to each section easily. 

Before you use your brush, use your finger to fry your hair. Then you can continue with a brush before drying them out using a dryer.

Brush your hair downward (use a round barrel brush)

Have your style locked in by cooling your hair after the dry session. 

Finally 

There are a ton of hair care products everywhere. If you love the beauty of your hair and you’d love to maintain this look, you can ask your stylist about the list of products used on your hair. Remember, there’s also no crime in playing around with different products.

How a man chooses to flaunt his hair is a crucial part of his grooming. There is no denying the fact that the hairstyle you carry has a lot to do with the way you look. From the type of haircut to the length of your hair, the TLC required to ensure your hair looks its best never fails to amaze us. While you may have shortlisted the facial hairstyle that suits your face cut the best and may even have researched about the hairstyles trending this year, do you know what hair care regime you should follow to maintain luscious locks and a healthy scalp? Visit a men’s hair salon in NYC for a hair spa day and while you are on it ask the experts for some professional tips to keep the shine and silkiness of your hair spot on!

We understand, sometimes it gets a little too overwhelming with innumerable hair care products out there. Calm down and read through these awesome tips that are sure to keep your hair healthy and get you some compliments!

● In all probability you would have come across products that claim to have 2-in-1 benefits! Some may think that it is a great idea to opt for an all in one body wash, shampoo, and conditioner but we advise you to reconsider. Investing in a proper hair care regime is much better for your hair in the long run.

● Do not use a shampoo that has a lot of harsh chemicals. The best shampoos are those which gently cleanse your scalp and hair. Such shampoos also contain nourishing ingredients that are good for the strength and thickness of your hair. Be on the lookout for ingredients like amino acids, vitamin E, and hydrolyzed wheat protein.

● Many guys develop the habit of applying shampoo each time they get in the shower. Not good for the health of your hair at all! Refrain from using shampoo every day as constant shampooing potentially dries out your hair and scalp. If you have an oily scalp you may shampoo on alternate days.

● Sometimes we just feel lazy and come out of the shower without conditioning after washing our hair. Sorry to break it out guys but shampooing alone doesn’t suffice if you want smooth and shiny hair. Use a conditioner for best results. The product plays an important role in moisturizing your hair in just the right way.

● When it comes to drying our hair, most men simply grab their towel and get rubbing. That is not the right way to do it and often leads to breakage. Gently pat your wet hair instead of roughly rubbing it to avoid unwanted damage to the strands. Also, go easy with the blow dryer as excessive heating is bad for your locks. Ask a professional at any men’s hair salon in NYCand they will advise you to turn down the heat!

If you are looking for a men’s hair salon in NYC with professionals who are nothing but the best at their job, book an appointment with Salon West! We promise you will walk out happy and satisfied.

With the summer season gently tapping on your window, it’s time to bring all the flowery dresses, bikinis, and tank tops out of your closet and flaunt ‘em right! But the unforgiving NYC heat and humidity can dampen your plans to look effortlessly cute and hot by wreaking havoc on your hair and making it extremely frizzy.

Thankfully high-end hair salons in NYC, like Salon West, have special treatments for frizzy hair. In addition to this, you can also take steps to ensure that your hair remains shiny, soft and smooth throughout the summer season. This blog lists some of the methods through which you can fight frizz and look fab!

● Bathe with cold water
Your hair is already being exposed to heat outdoors so go easy with the hot showers that you love to take. A hot water bath will leave your hair dry and brittle because it robs your mane of all the natural oils and the moisture. Coldwater on the other hand, will hydrate your scalp and seal in the moisture, thus keeping frizz at bay.

● Give up heat styling
Blow drying and straightening your hair on the highest heat settings will trigger frizz in no time at all. Instead, give your curlers and strengtheners a break and use your dryer on the lowest heat setting to dry your hair.

● Use hydrating shampoo and conditioner
While you should limit shampooing your hair, choosing the right products can go a long way in protecting your hair against sun damage. Select sulfate-free, ultra-hydrating shampoos, conditioners, and serums that are packed with glycerin to bring back the shine. And don’t forget to wear a hat when you venture out!

● Opt for keratin hair treatments
If all the anti-frizz products are failing to do their magic on your hair, then you need to walk up to high-end hair salons in NYC to undo the entire frizz and the damage. This treatment works wonders on people with dry hair roots and ends because the main ingredient itself is keratin – a protective protein that strengthens hair and leaves behind a lasting glossy shine.

● DIY masks
Anti-frizz homemade masks are easy on the pocket and they can turn your hair from frizzy and dull to glam and thick within a few days! You can make some for yourself at home by mixing 2 mashed bananas with one tablespoon of honey, one tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of coconut oil. Not only will this zap out frizz, but it will also strengthen your roots naturally, thus preventing breakage.

At Salon West, we have ultimate treatment plans for dry, rough and frizzy hair so that you can rock the beach during summers! Get in touch with our experts now!

You run fingers through your hair, but the length feels the same as it was a couple of months ago. Now, you’re in deep thought if your natural hair is growing at all? It isn’t an uncommon complaint among women. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a matter of concern. It still is.

Hair never stops growing unless there’s a medical condition behind the cause. But what’s making your strands to not grow long? Undernourishment is the answer. Your hair is growing but not at the expected pace because the ends are breaking off as frequently.

If you believe your hair isn’t growing, in other words, not retaining the length, any of the following reasons could be the culprit.

Lack of Moisture
In comparison to straight hair, curly hair often loses moisture. What is the reason? All twists and bends make it harder for the natural oil to reach the tips. No matter how much you try to keep your scalp moisturized, your hair ends always lack in moisture. So, what should you do? Find an alternative way to keep them moisturized when don’t want to risk more breakage.

Not drinking enough water
Hair strands need moisture inside out. Which means moisturizing hair from outside isn’t enough. Not gulping down the recommended amount of water in a day results in dry and brittle hair. Ultimately, hair split and break.

You have a poor diet
Water alone cannot do the magic you’re expecting. Maintaining a proper nutritious diet is equally important. This means the time to say goodbye to all junk has finally arrived. Add a rainbow to your plate with green, red, and yellow veggies.

Too much heat
Changing hairstyles now and then is what we all love to do. But switching from curls to straight hair takes away the moisture. Too much heat often makes hair extra dry and brittle, especially without a layer of hair protection. Always use a tool with adjustable heat settings and minimize your frequency of blow-drying or curling your hair.

Always overdoing your hair
Over manipulating hair, doesn’t matter if you use comb, brush, or hands, always put unnecessary stress, and makes your hair ends fragile. If you often find yourself, running fingers through your hair unknowingly, wear protective styles like a bun or braid.

One more reason why your hair doesn’t seem to be growing is you haven’t got a trim in a long time. Without further ado, make an appointment with the best curly hair salon in NYC.

Thought your skin was having the worst of it during the colder months? Well, maybe you haven’t been paying attention to your hair. Dry air and low temperature: two very formidable enemies of healthy hair. They can cause dryness, itchiness, and flakiness in addition to making your hair more brittle and prone to falling. That is exactly why it is so crucial to have an effective hair care routine during winter. And even if you don’t have a set routine, following a few simple care tips can help you ensure the health of your hair during this season. Here are some of them:

1. Be careful with hot water
The temperature is slowly dipping below freezing and you want nothing more than to soak yourself in a tub of hot water. However, if you love your hair or even your skin for that matter, it is best to avoid a hot water bath. The hot water will do nothing but dry out and dehydrate your skin and scalp, and that is something you wouldn’t want, would you?

2. Keep shampooing to a minimum
Excessive washing will strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and weak. To avoid that, do not wash your hair every day. A maximum of two or three times a week should be enough to keep it clean. Use a mild shampoo for best results.

3. Keep your hair and scalp hydrated
Deep conditioning and oiling are crucial during the winter months to ensure that your hair and scalp are hydrated. This will prevent dandruff and hair fall. If you live in a place where the season is especially brutal, a leave-in conditioner can be a godsend.

4. Get a regular trim
It doesn’t matter if you have long, short or curly hair, the dry winter air can make the ends brittle, causing them to break and split. The easiest way to keep your hair in good condition is to schedule a regular trim at your favorite men’s hair salon in NYC.

5. Eat a healthy and balanced diet
When you eat healthy food, it keeps your hair and scalp healthy. A diet that is high in vitamins can work wonders. Also, remember to drink plenty of water. Even a little extra care for your hair will go a long way.
