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!

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,

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.

Ombre Hair Color at Ashka Salon Spa in Canton, Michigan

What is Ombre Hair Color?

Ombre comes from a French word meaning shaded or shading. Traditionally, ombre hair color is darker at the roots and fades down to lighter at the ends. Depending on the length of your hair, multiple formulations will be used. There are many methods for creating ombre hair color. Several techniques and tools can be used. This includes brushes, clips, foils, flamboyage strips and balayage or “hair painting” techniques. Every stylist has their own method for creating the perfect ombre hair color. Your formulation and technique will be customized for your desired outcome, length of hair and previous or past coloring. One thing is for sure…ombre hair color has taken the world by storm!

Ombre Hair Color – What to Expect

Ombre hair color should be mentioned when you schedule your appointment. Instead of a typical coloring time being booked, we will book a solid 2-hour block of time. Because there are different techniques and formulations being used, your stylist may need to stop one part of your hair from processing and leave another part to finish. This requires their skill and undivided attention. Most ombre hair colors require at least 3 different color formulations. After a thorough consultation your stylist will decide which techniques will work best for you. Ombre hair color can be subtle or an extreme change depending on what you are looking for. It is important to remember that most ombre hair color photos you come across show models or celebrities that have their hair curled. To achieve the same look, you will need to style your hair that way. Ombre hair color appointments at Ashka are $200.00. This charge covers the solid block of time, consultation, formulation, application, and a wash and full blow dry. Many people choose ombre hair color because the upkeep can be low-maintenance since the root area is intended to be darker. This will depend on how close your natural hair color is to the ombre hair color you choose.

Ombre hair color has taken on many other names. These include “color melting” “balayage” and “Ecaille” – The idea of melting gorgeous colors is much more common now. See one of our stylists at Ashka for your next hair color change. We are full of ideas, up on color melting trends and would love to make you look and feel your best!
