-Drink plenty of water, I don’t have to tell you that staying hydrated yields many benefits for your general health. In addition to quenching your thirst, it also enhances your skin and hair. Adequate H2O flushes out your toxins more efficiently, creating a fresh and radiant complexion as a result. It also helps to reduce acne and soothe any other common skin conditions.
Another reason to drink water? It helps repair damaged and thinning hair. For example, if you have a dry scalp, you may find your hair is dull and takes forever to grow. Properly hydrating will promote healthy hair growth from the roots.
So, if you want lustrous locks and fresh skin, be sure to monitor your water intake in the days and weeks before your appointment.
-Don’t arrive with dirty or greasy hair, Many people fail to properly wash their hair before their appointment, thinking a little oil will provide grip to maintain a particular style. Unfortunately, this is not true. If your hair is extremely dirty (we’re talking days), styling it becomes much harder as the grease weighs down your hair. Not to mention, the smell is not so great either!
Your best bet is to prioritize cleanliness arrive with clean, freshly-washed, dry hair, as your stylist can always add certain products to assist with hold and volume.
-Tailor your skincare to your skin type, In the weeks before your hair and makeup appointment, be sure your skincare routine targets your specific skin concerns. For example, if you have dry skin, make sure to slap on some moisturizer within seconds of cleansing your skin. Ointments and lip balm treatments will also treat dry skin.
On the other hand, if your skin is oily, use products that reduce grease, including oil-free, silicone-free moisturizers. Also, avoid using harsh products on your skin, as they will strip your skin’s barrier and lead to increased oil production.
