What To Do With Your Do Once You Leave The Salon...
Once I've done there hair all up nicely, clients often ask me, "Now Maryam, how am I supposed to keep this up?" Most women wish they could just sleep standing up:)) But only in a perfect world, right. As a woman, I can totally relate to every clients individual circumstance. Although I can't house myself in every client's bathroom to keep every single hair in place (wouldn't it be great if I could:)); there are a few tips that I can share that may prolong the duration of your fabulous mane in between salon visits.

For my short haired edgy cut girls: This client wears her hair cropped and close at the nape area, near the ear, and usually has some jazzy activity styled up at the top. This client appreciates a little or a lot of flare and wants to always make a statement with her hair.
1st step. Client must NOT take super hot showers or baths, steam will make the style drop sooner than later.
2nd step. When getting ready for bed/shower I find that wrap strips help to contract and diffuse (keep edges and nape in place) during bed time. Lightly tie 1 or 2 of them right around the tapered areas of the head and rest assure this will help keep your mane tamed.
3rd step. No matter what you may have heard about holding on to a style, it's just a myth. Harder hair is NOT better hair!!!!
4th step. If you have a great cut, your hair will behave as such! I recommend you to use a light moisturizer. Rub a small amount on your fingertips, then lightly run them thru your spiked out strands. Shake them up even for a more fun look. Apply a small amount on your tapered area and Walaah! you've just extended your hair styles life.

Now for my bounce and flow girls (usually wearing a layered look or body curls) You've left the salon with your hair blowing in the wind, full of body and you want to keep it that way through the week.
1st step. Before bed your should have a light moisturizer recommended by your stylist. Something that is not designed to weigh your hair down but maintain shine and keep your strands from drying out.
2nd step. Applying a small amount of moisturizer or serum to the ends of your hair will in fact help keep your ends sealed and your style polished.
3rd step. Once moisturized, wrap your hair in a circular motion. Tie it up with a satin or silk scarf is an oldie but goodie for keeping your hair smooth and protecting it while you sleep. I suggest this for the client who's hair is not cut in layers and is just looking for a smooth worry free finish. This client will be able to just comb her hair down in the morning and go, very low maintenance with no additional flat ironing or curling required. (avoiding excessive heat between salon visits is a definite way to keep your strands healthy).

Option 2: For My girls with layers who want to keep their bounce and flow going. I recommend you dab a very small amount of your light moisturizer on the tips of your fingers, then part medium to large sections of your hair and pin the section down in a circular pattern (following the pattern that your hair is styled in.) If your hair has a feathered look, pin-curls on the right should be rolled to the right, and those on the left should be rolled to the left. Depending on the length of your hair you could have from 10 to 20 pin-curls once you're done. (keep in mind that the smaller the pin-curl the tighter the curl will turn out) If you like body medium to big will suit your needs. This method can then be loosely tied up with a satin scarf , you can cover your hair with bonnet, or just sleep on a satin pillow case and your morning should be worry free!. No heat needed until your next salon visit.
