Summer Lovin'

At Salon K we spend most of our time talking about, well, hair. Here are our latest product raves:

Boho Braid

Boho braids are huge for summer. In the picture above Blake Lively shows us how to do it right. She sported this fun, textured braid on the red carpet for the premiere of Green Lantern. To create this look:

1} On wet hair apply Grooming Creme on the ends of your hair.

2} Follow by spraying Surf Spray all over hair.

3} Dry hair with a diffuser to get beach-wave texture.

4} Pin hair to the side. Fishtail braid part (or you could do all) of your hair and secure with a hair band.

5} Finish by spraying hair all over with Spray De Mode.

Summer style, unplugged

Simple, tousle-and-go styles
Forgo the blow dryer this summer and give your natural texture a chance with three products that ease and enhance. (Lucky for us, undone is in!)
Bb. Texture Creme
Gives even the straightest of hair some texture. Work through damp hair then ruffle, freehand for lift, volume grit and grip.
Surf Spray
Spray on damp (or dry) hair and let dry naturally for beachy matte, texture.
Grooming Creme
Apply to damp hair and tousle for subtle hold and a soft, smooth, low-glow satin finish. Not to mention it's hydrating, great for thirsty summer locks.

Something good for Dad

Make dad look oh so debonair. Father's Day is less than one week away, but don't worry we have you covered! Give dad smart, sophisticated style- Tonic Shampoo for an invigorating cleanse and Grooming Creme for smooth, subtle hold. The perfect polished pair.

Happy Spring!

We are back from a nice little spring break vacation! Speaking of Spring here our a few of our favorite products to help combat the unpredictable weather!
defrizz: conquers showers' reign with frizz control that leaves hair soft, silky and flyaway-free
grooming creme: tames (and takes manes from lion to lamb) with natural separation and satin finish.
spray de mode: flexible hold with heat protection and shine (for unexpected gusts)

One Icon, 3 Ways

ONE ICONIC PRODUCT, 3 WAYS
Style with Bb. Texture Creme, then polish off with your potion of choice to achieve three very different looks, each imperfectly perfect in its own way.

1] For ruffled, tousled hair that's soft to the touch, apply Grooming Creme to ends.
2] Finish with Styling Wax for flexible detailing and a little bit of shine (it goes a long way).
3] Give legs to lift, volume, grip and grit with Spray de Mode (all over for flexible hold).

Bb. Texture

Texture. It's what makes everything – people, cities, stories, sweaters, life, hair – more interesting. Bb.Texture hair(un)dressing creme provides an elusive, undone-yet-done quality with a hint of grit, grip, volume, extra lift and a tousled, shine-free finish... a scuffed, second-day style in seconds. It gives a dry, matte finish and builds easily with memory and moldability.

This product is great for anyone (all it takes is the right attitude...and application). Make sure you put it on damp hair, start with a small amount and build. Let sit a minute, then loosen and ruffle, freehand. Apply at roots for extra lift. Use a diffuser for more volume all over.

Here are some cocktail ideas to get you going:

Bb.Texture + Grooming Creme = more moisture and polish for a softer yet still-messy texture with sheen

Bb.Texture + Styling Wax added at ends = flexible detailing plus shine

Bb.Texture + Brilliantine added at ends = more sheen and separation for a more languid, slept-in texture

Experiment. A true original, Bb.Texture never styles the same way twice.

Spray tonic lotion all over hair.

Get a small amount of sumotech in your hand and emulsify (rub the product between your hands) so the product turns clean instead of white. Slick hair back with sumotech - for a light hold and matte finish.
