Are you waking up extra early so you can style your hair? If so, you are spending too much valuable energy on the hair process. Talk to your stylist about a new cut that’s easier to maintain.

Imagine all you will accomplish with the extra time and rest!

Not all hair color treatments requires a major commitment. If you are thinking about a new color, but want to give it a trial run, ask your hairdresser about temporary color. It will last for one or two shampoos and give you a sense of weather you want to make a more long-term change.

If your hair becomes unmanageable in humid or wet weather, it may be time for a keratin treatment or another kind of relaxer. Talk it over with your hair dresser — the weather shouldn’t rule your mood.

Orange Stuff is great for all hair types, but was specially formulated for coarse hair. This product adds luster and shine. Orange Stuff hydrates dry hair and acts as a sun filter. It smooths hard-to-manage locks while protecting color-treated hair from oxidation with Vitamin E. It is a perfect way to enhance your curls or to relax your hair for blowing it out straight. The botanical extracts smooth the hair cuticle, hydrating and conditioning your hair to create a healthy, lustrous shine.

Whether you are interested in a subtle wave to add body or you want to try an entirely new look, adding a permanent wave to your hair can make the difference. Remember, hair is the accessory you wear every day.

Want to grow out your hair or try a new color, cut or style for a special occasion? One day hair extensions are the rage this year and can be used to add length and volume to hair that is being worn down or partially down. The can also be used to create an incredible updo.

David Groshen Volume Shampoo infuses weightless volume into fine and thin hair. Continual use strengthens the hair shaft so hair retains color and curl, which adds durability and life to all chemical services.

If you feel your hair is too thin, a new haircut might make it appear fuller. If that doesn’t do the trick, you might want to discuss other options with your hairstylist.

The sun can bleach out your hair or make highlights too bright. In addition to planning your fall wardrobe, schedule a visit with your hairstylist to make sure your hair is ready for the new season.

Highlights can provide you with brilliant, lustrous hair. This is achieved by weaving selected hair strands and applying a formula using foils to allow more precise and direct access to the hair.

Talk to your stylist about extensions. Extensions can eliminate the need for a make-shift style that makes you feel like your hair is never quite right.

David Groshen’s Color Friendly Shampoo restores moisture and protein lost during chemical services and exposure to sun. A natural blend of aloe and other essential botanicals restores the hair shaft of chemically, sun-treated and sun damaged hair. The shampoo magnifies shine and manageability.

If your color doesn’t stay fresh after a few washings, there could be a number of causes. Maybe your color product doesn’t penetrate far enough into the hair shaft. Be certain your shampoo and/or conditioner is not too acidic or basic because that could strip your color.

Make sure the upkeep of your style fits within your budget. With the exception of special occasions, ask how often and how much your style, color and relaxer will cost you in the long run.

If you find yourself trying more than three new hairstylists in less than a year, do some soul searching. Maybe you are not clear about what you are looking for. David’s 7 Step Series may help you find the answers you need.

Hair color should do more than match your skin, it should also suit your personality. If you are introverted and shy, stay away from wild, bright colors. If you live on the wild side, however, you can probably pull off “knock ‘em dead” red.

Before embarking on a new hair service, remember to discuss face shape in the consultation. For example, you could learn how highlights can help add length to a round face. Remember, just because a style looks good on your friend or your sister, doesn’t mean it is right for you.

When you get a new style, talk with your stylist about how to recreate it at home. If you treat your new hairstyle the same way you treated your old one, it will start to look the same even if it is very different.

To keep frizz away, use David’s Orange Stuff. It is great for taming naturally curly hair. Apply generously to wet hair and comb through to distribute it evenly. Give it a shot of hair spray to seal the deal.

Don’t forget, your hair is your most important accessory! You should match your style to the outfit you plan to wear. A tight, sleek dress calls for slick, polished hair. And a long, flowing dress demands a flowing tress!

Flying? In most cases, that means using less hair spray the day you travel. As you rest your head back on your seat, you can crush your style and can put unwanted kinks in your hair. Spray amplifies or will hold the bad kinks just as it holds your hair.

When you travel, take your favorite hair products with you in small 2-ounce jars. Bring extra conditioner in case the water is very hard.

To make your permanent waves last, don’t wash your hair for three days to ensure that the disulfide bonds reform completely.

Before you choose a new style, determine how long you want to spend on your hair each day. Remember, if you are honest with yourself and your stylist, you will be happy with the results.

When consulting about a perm, make sure to mention if you have had a perm in the past as well as any other previous chemical services you have had done. Also, bring a picture that shows the size of the wave you are after. Learn more about perms before heading to the salon.

Prepare your wet hair by first dividing it into four sections. Use David’s Blowdrying Guide to walk you through the steps for easy and effective styling.

When combing through your tangles, begin at the ends and work your way upwards toward the tangles to avoid pulling at your roots.

When caring for extensions it's important not to do certain thing including overuse conditioner, pull aggressively when combing and allow hair to stay wet for an excessively long time.

Don’t over-wash full hair. Natural oils give hair some weight and keeps it looking more under control.

Brush your hair at night and make sure your style is in place before you go to sleep. For long, straight hair, try a tight pony. For loose, wavy hair, “Princess Leia twists” will get the job done.

Don’t raise eyebrows! Make sure you dye your eyebrows to match your hair. Banish the gray everywhere – not just on your head.

Let your hair do some talking when searching for a job. Pull back long hair and make sure your style is keeping with the image you are trying to convey. Remember, if you can’t control your hair, it is going to seem like you can’t control the business.

If you’ve had any kind of chemical treatment in your hair, avoid tight headbands – especially rubber ones – because they will cause your hair to break.

Need to keep your hair fresh without getting a blow out two days in a row? Try sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase and make sure the room stays cool to avoid sweating. Also, pull your hair back in a loose ponytail to keep it in place.

Never up-do with hair that’s been washed and blown that day. “Less clean” hair is more cooperative than “more clean” and will stay in place more effectively.

Looking to lighten up in the summer? Try squeezing a lemon into some water. Spray a modest amount onto your hair and watch the sun bring out your natural highlights.

CAUTION: If you just spent a fortune on your hair, don’t mess with your color!

Just like mother always told you, wear a hat! To keep your color from fading, avoid direct sunlight and maybe even use a product loaded with a sunscreen for hair.

Give your frizzy hair the conditional love it deserves. When humidity makes your hair wild, try skipping the shampoo and washing it with conditioner alone. Depending on your hair type, you might want to leave a little in for a tamer look.

Don’t forget to pre-soak your hair, completely saturating each strand before swimming to protect it from chlorine and salt water. Jump in with an already-wet head to prevent your hair from absorbing chemicals you want to avoid.

Use a boar bristle and synthetic brush to comb through your extensions, holding that section at the base to take the stress off of your hair and the area of attachment.
