1. For those who have prominent grey areas around hairline or part that seems to pop out very quickly.... retouch favorite Matrix color formula in-between normal touchups. Use the following to prevent over lapping previous color, a Q-tip, a soft baby tooth brush or beveled eyebrow brush.

2. Total Results  Silk Wonder Oil is great to put in your bath or massage into skin.

3. For static electricity, gently run a fabric softner sheet over fly away hair.

4 Reese Witherspoon has celebrity  hair that is inspiring to many. Her beautiful blonde hair can be worn straight with bangs, or loose waves with side-swept bangs are two of her versatile looks. Taking care of color treated hair is extremely important . Matrix Biolage Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner is perfect for moisturizing and protecting against fadage.

5. Biolage Age Rejuvenating Leave-In Densifier is great  to create lift, thickness, and volume without weighing the hair down. You need to apply the leave-in densifier at the scalp area after every shampoo.

6. Since a smooth surface is key to illuminating hair color in its full glory, winter weather can dry out hair and change the vibrancy and hue of color. Caring for the surface of color treated hair is essential to preserving color therefore; we recommend Matrix Total Results Color Care Shampoo & Conditioner which keeps hair hydrated and guards against fadage.

Clip On Hair Pieces
Especially in the Holiday Season it is important to know how to clip on and lock in your hair pieces.  Carefully part hair and tease roots so that your clip on comb can easily lock in and be secured to the hair.
Clip On's are great for making the hair fuller.  Amplify Wonder Boost is a great product to use to volumize the hair with your new clip on's.  When curling the hair make sure your hair is dry and then spray with Wonder Boost and stroke the product into the hair with your irons this will give it a firmer effect.

How to make a Hair Pin disappear
In the advent of Holiday Hair brush hair.  Place left hand and thumb to nape of the neck, twist hair up for a simple pleat.  Instead of placing your hair pin feet first to secure hair, thread hair pin head first through the pleat then twist up and push down to lock in position.  The hair pin will then disappear into the hair.

The most important Watch Points are to keep your hair hydrated and the cuticles sealed.

MATRIX PRODUCTS
To keep hair hydrated as the weather is generally dry and humid I suggest Total Treat -Deep Cream Mask which is a great damage preventative product.
To keep your hair in great condition as hair in the winter can become dry and lifeless.  I suggest Moisture Cure 2-Phase Treatment.

CELEB LOOK
* A Favorite Look from Nick Stenson:  "Kim Kardashian can pull off a really soft beachy wave like no other celebrity.  Take a cue from her and add volume using a deconstructed curl to give a finished look that will have people wondering if your waves are natural or done by a pro."   

TIPS/TRICKS
To create an updo that brings added softness to the face, begin by prepping wet hair with Matrix Total Results Wonder Boost Root Lifter.  Blow dry with a round brush placed near new growth.  The Root Lifter maximizes lift and brings a lush fullness to the hair.

To set curls in place and create a fuller look, gently emulsify Matrix Total Results Sleek Silk Wonder Smoothing Oil into hands.  With slight backcombing, form the curls away from the face, keeping them defined and shiny.  Finish with Matrix Total Results Amplify Flexible Hold Hair Spray for a look that’s soft and natural.  

MATRIX PRODUCTS
*A Pro Tip from Nick Stenson:  "Here's one for the men!  Design Pulse - Beach Clay is one of my favorite strong hold matte finishing products.  Kick up the shine factor by adding a drop of Design Pulse Mix in Shine.  It's an easy way to change up your look."    

*A Pro Tip from Nick Stenson:  "For the illusion of even thicker hair, appy Total Results Amplify Root Boost before blow drying with a brush.  Then reapply the product to new growth, pulling up with a brush as you hit it with the blow dryer again.  You're going to love the fullness you get!"   

*  A Pro Tip from Nick Stenson:  "To protect and repair hair fibers, I like Biolage Thermal-Active Repair Gloss.  It has a heat-active formula with coconut oil that works while you blow dry.  It's amazingly lightweight and still gives great shine.  Good year-round but especially in winter when dry hair can use an extra boost!

*A Pro Tip from Nick Stenson:  "Smartest 4 product combo on the planet for long-lasting color:  After Total Results Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner, towel dry and add Total Results Moisture Cure 2-Phase Treatment to protect before blow drying.  Finish with Total Results Miracle Treat 12 to smooth the cuticle and add shine.  A true salon look!"  

*A Pro Tip from Nick Stenson:  Matrix Total Results Miracle Treat 12 is really one of the most impressive new products I've worked with.  Spray it on towel dried hair before blow drying to minimize heat damage and increase manageability.  It delivers a fresh-from-the-salon look even when you're pressed for time.

Jennifer Lopez's color is one of the most googled looks on the Internet.
This is a way we approach it in my Salon:

Starting on natural level 3 utilizing Wonder Brown 5A two parts to one part 5W for the background
color. Once this color is processed shampoo out using Total Results color care and dry 100% .
The outgrown color technique is accomplished by doing an Ombre technique.
This is done by backcombing the hair the applying V light lightener on the mid length and ends and on the face frame at approximately one  to one and a half inches from the hairline.
Once processed to gold shampoo dry and glaze over with Color Sync 8V and
8G equal parts.
This will give you a great Caramel tone that is controlled.
Jennifer hair is slightly fine and in order to obtain this voluminous look that she loves to carry I recommend:

Don’t let dry air turn your curls to frizz, apply Matrix Total Results Curl MIRACLE Super Defrizzer Gel to damp hair and comb through. The high tech Matrix Total Results Curl MIRACLE Super Defrizzer Gel starts out as a gel and quickly transforms to a liquid for easy even application that will leave locks with bouncy touchable curls that are never crunchy.

Traveling this winter and hate what the dry winter does to your hair? You need Total Results Moisture Cure 2-Phase Treatment - a simple shake activates moisture by combining apricot oil for smoothness and intense shine with glycerin for lasting moisture and softness.  Apply to damp hair and comb through. When traveing, shake and add a few sprays to your hotel pillowcases to reduce static electricity and dryness for more manageable hair the next morning.

During the winter season, hair tends to get drier. I recommend using Total Results Moisture Cure 2-PhaseTreatment for finer hair. This product moisturizes hair layer by layer. Use this trick for those harsh winter months; lightly mist Moisture Cure on dry strands and comb thoroughly, it will help control static and flyaways that may be caused due to hat hair. For coarse, curly hair, I recommend using Total Results Sleek Silk Wonder Oil, use this silk oil right before ironing your hair, it will restore shine, repair split-ends and  control frizz.
