Welcome back to Extreme Spa – where beauty meets simplicity! Whether you were born with silky strands or achieve the sleek look with a flat iron, straight hair can be a blessing and a challenge. It might seem “low-maintenance,” but keeping it smooth, voluminous, and healthy takes a little insider knowledge. Today, we're spilling the tea on the straight hair hacks you didn’t know you needed – simple tips that make a big difference. Let’s get into it! 1. Flip Your Part for Instant Volume Straight hair can fall flat – literally. If your go-to part is always in the same spot, your roots get used to it and lay flat over time. Flip your part to the opposite side, or try a zigzag part to lift your roots and create instant volume. 2. Dry Shampoo Isn’t Just for Dirty Hair Most people use dry shampoo when their hair gets oily, but here’s a trick: use it right after washing and drying your hair. This acts as a preemptive shield against oil buildup and adds a bit of texture to keep hair from l...

Type 4 hair is magic. It's full of coils, kinks, and character—but it can also be high-maintenance when it comes to moisture. The catch? It needs hydration like plants need sunlight, but too much product can leave it greasy, flat, or just plain heavy. So how do you strike the perfect balance? Here's how to keep your coils soft, hydrated, and bouncy—without loading them down. 1. Start with Water-Based Moisturizers Water is the OG moisturizer. Check the ingredient list—water (or "aqua") should be the first ingredient. Creams or leave-ins that are water-based sink in easier without leaving a heavy residue. 2. Use the LOC or LCO Method (Lightly!) These methods stand for Liquid–Oil–Cream or Liquid–Cream–Oil. The trick? Don’t go heavy-handed. Use lightweight oils like grapeseed or argan oil instead of thick butters. The layering helps lock in moisture without suffocating your strands. 3. Avoid Heavy Butters Daily Shea butter is amazing—but not for everyday use if you’re try...

  One of the most common questions I get asked as a hairstylist is, "How often should I wash my hair?" The answer to this question is not as simple as you might think. It really depends on a number of factors, including your hair type, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Hair Type If you have oily hair, you may need to wash it more often than someone with dry hair. This is because oily hair produces more sebum, which is a natural oil that helps to keep your hair healthy. However, washing your hair too often can strip it of its natural oils, which can make it dry and brittle. If you have dry hair, you may only need to wash it once or twice a week. This is because dry hair doesn't produce as much sebum, so it doesn't need to be washed as often. Lifestyle If you have an active lifestyle, you may need to wash your hair more often than someone who doesn't. This is because sweat and dirt can build up in your hair, which can make it look and feel greasy. Personal Prefer...
