Best Haircuts For Men In Canton & South Lyon

Haircuts For Men Canton and South Lyon

Great Haircuts For Men

Men’s Haircuts are more a thing than they’ve ever been! Today’s man is fashion-forward and conscientious. A great haircut isn’t just about your hair or who cuts it. It’s important for you as a guest to understand what you’re working with. In this article, we will cover many considerations to understand to decide what the best haircuts for men are. Some elements that you should consider and discuss with your hair stylist are:

What Is Your Hair Texture?

Is your hair coarse, fine, curly, straight? When we talk about the texture of your hair, you should consider the circumference of each hair strand. A hair strand with more circumference is considered “coarse” and a strand with less circumference is “fine,” you get the idea.

In addition, the amount of bend or curl of your hair will affect the volume and movement and be a part of the formula of understanding your hair texture.

Follow Your Density!

Every person’s hair has a certain density of growth. To demonstrate, we could look at how many hair follicles per square inch in a given area of the scalp. If you have more hair follicles in that area your hair could be called “thick.” Likewise, if you have less hair follicles in that same space your hair may be called “thin.”

If your now asking, “what’s the number of follicles per square inch to be considered thick?” There’s no simple answer to that as it can be an entirely subjective answer. The purpose of understanding your density is to have a solid grasp of the concept and term for discussion with your stylist. To summarize, as an example a person can have “fine” (small circumference) but “thick” (dense follicles) hair. Fine+Thick Hair. Obviously each individual has their own make up of components unique to them.

What Is Your Face Shape?

Some shapes describing your face include round, oval, square, diamond, heart and triangle to name a few. The goal is to find balance; therefore using your hairstyle as a way to add to balance, or offset any imbalance. As an example, a person with a triangular or pyramid face shape may want some volume on top to even things up a bit.

What Is Your Lifestyle?

In the process of determining what’s the best men’s haircut for you; we must consider your lifestyle.
Do you work in a corporate environment or at a tattoo studio? Are you a wash and go kinda guy or do you wield that blow dryer like a pro?
If a blow dryer makes you want to run for the hills, it’s not a good idea to choose a coifed look that requires a lot of styling with tools. However, you could always learn how to use certain tools to achieve the look of the haircut you choose.

Trends and Haircuts For Men

These days there are lots of options to personalize your style. In other words, you can add details that are unique to your look, such as how your hairline is finished or lines/patterns cut into your haircut. Coupled with your style, checking out trends can give an added freshness to how your haircut suits you. Firstly, look into some resources that do much of the work for you, such as these articles: Esquire Style Trends. Secondly, think of haircuts for men that have made you take notice, certainly to act as a fulcrum of inspiration.

What’s A Fade?

When talking about haircuts for men, it is notable to discuss the term “fade.” A fade is a term that has been used generally to describe hair that is cut short going from shortest at the hairline and gradually getting longer as it “fades” up. However, the length of this transition can vary with each hairstyle individually. Your hair stylist may choose to use adjustable clippers or scissors and a comb to achieve a balanced fade…there are many paths to the same destination.

AVEDA lovers everywhere have been waiting for a dry shampoo up to AVEDA’s standards. Ashka Salon Spa is happy to announce that it is finally here! AVEDA’s Shampure Dry Shampoo was released in November of 2015.

Benefits of Using AVEDA’s Shampure Dry Shampoo

Why is using dry shampoo so important? Everybody hates when their hair is greasy. Through the use of this product you can revive your look for an additional day. It is important not to wash your hair everyday. It can really dry out your locks. However if you are someone who works out a lot, or feels like their hair just gets oily quickly, you really should look into dry shampoo!

Another great use is when you are styling your hair curly or up. A lot of times hair is too clean and soft to hold your desired style. By puffing some dry shampoo into your hair you will give it some additional texture. Having that grip is important when you want your hair to stay a certain way.

Stop in to Ashka Salon Spa today to get your hands on your own AVEDA’s Shampure Dry Shampoo.

Until Next Time,

Youngblood Makeup at Ashka Salon Spa

Lipstick Shade - Debalicious

At Ashka Salon Spa we use Youngblood Makeup. Why we use this brand is because it is made of finely ground minerals. They only use natural minerals from the earth. There is no chemicals, or dyes. These are found in a lot of make up and can cause skin flare ups.

Through the use of Youngblood Makeup’s signature blend of rhodolite, zincite, hematite, and malachite, it helps protect cells and tissue. This line is gentle on all skin conditions and types. You can even use it on skin recovering from chemical peels!

Youngblood Makeup Founder

Pauline Youngblood is the founder of Youngblood Makeup. She is a paramedical aesthetician to dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Pauline was saw patients daily who’s skin would take up to 6 months to heal after their trauma. She was not happy with her patient’s make up options. She chose to make a product that give’s the wearer’s skin room to heal and breathe.

When she started her work mineral make up was too fake looking. It was either too orange or too pink. She found a way to make it look natural and was healthy for the skin.  In 1996 Pauline founded Youngblood Makeup.

Youngblood Logo

Youngblood Makeup Ingredients

Youngblood Makeup promises they use the most premium grade minerals. By using a certain milling process, they keep dangerous nanoparticles out of their products.

There are a lot of mineral make up lines out there. When comparing, be sure to check for synthetic ingredients. Examples are talc, alcohol, or petroleum. One ingredient Youngblood Makeup is sure to leave out is talc. It is a filler and often will cause irritation. Instead they use rice starch and various vitamins. This makes Youngblood Makeup a more effective, and healthier option.

At Ashka Salon Spa we bring the Canton area these amazing products! Stop in today and one of our great make up artists can help you pick out what is best for you!

Curly Hair – What’s the Deal?

Your genes are the reason behind those great curls of yours! At one point in time, it was thought that the hair shaft was responsible for the texture of your hair. More recently it has been found that the shape of your hair follicle is actually the cause! Curly hair’s follicle is an elongated oval shape. It grows out of the head at a sharp angle.

Curly hair often tends to be drier then straight hair. This is due to the fact that your scalp’s natural oils can move down the shaft of straight hair easier than curly hair.Everyone wants shiny hair because shiny hair means healthy hair. Straight hair tends to naturally have more shine because light reflects off of it.  Curly hair however absorbs the light making it less shiny.

How to Use AVEDA’s Brilliant Humectant Pomade

Styling curly hair can be very tricky.  Many people tend to fight their curls rather than accept them. One reason for this is not knowing how to make curls work. By using the correct products such as AVEDA’s Brilliant Humectant Pomade, you will begin to love your curls!

Step 1: Wash with AVEDA’s Be Curly Shampoo and Conditioner or Co-Wash.

Step 2: Dry and Style with a Diffuser.

Step 3: Apply a small amount of AVEDA’s Brilliant Humectant Pomade to palms and rub together to emulsify. Apply evenly through dry hair.

Pro-tip: Glide fingertips over areas where you want to eliminate fly aways and add brilliant shine.

Curly Hair, Don’t Care

 

Why Does Ashka Salon Spa Love AVEDA’s Brilliant Humectant Pomade?

Evelyn, Senior Stylist and Training Manager: AVEDA’s Brilliant Humectant Pomade is awesome for taming frizz and fly-aways on highly textured hair and adds shine and moisture to curls.

Lisa, Master Hair Stylist and Owner: AVEDA’s Brilliant Humectant Pomade is one the most amazing products! It transforms curly hair in to shiny, bouncy, non frizzy locks in just seconds. Also smells incredible.  It is a must have for curly hair!
