How to Achieve the Perfect Bouncy Blowout at Home

We’re sure you’ve seen this ’90s hair trend that broke the internet all over your social media platforms by now. Bouncy blowouts are back thanks to Farrah Fawcett’s flawless inspiration and, good news, this look is super easy to recreate at home using just a blow-dry brush and some velcro rollers!

Four Steps to Achieve a Bouncy Blowout

Step 1: Detangle & Prep

After showering, gently comb and detangle your hair. For best results spray your hair with a leave-in conditioner as you detangle. This will help keep hair soft and malleable as you work. One of our favorite leave-in conditioners is the Matrix Miracle Creator! Leave-in conditioning products don’t just make your hair sleek and soft; they also help prime your hair for styling and smooth your hair cuticle to prevent breakage from brushing or styling.

Step 2: Prime

Now that your hair is detangled, we want to make sure it is primed and ready for styling. Spray in a blowout primer and dry your hair about 80%, keeping it slightly damp. The blowout primer provides an excellent foundation and helps the style stay in all day! An added bonus, it helps protect your hair from heat damage.

Step 3: Roll

As you get ready to jump into rolling your hair, make sure you work with small sections to keep your work clean and tidy. When ready, take your Amika Blow Dry Brush 2.0 and work through your hair. Start at the root and work thoroughly down the hair, keeping the brush elevated above your head with tight tension. As you move down your hair, turn the blow dryer towards your face to create a curling effect. After each section is dry, take a velcro roller and curl it into your hair starting at the ends and working up towards the root. Make sure you secure each roller with a creaseless clip.

Step 4: Finish

Before you take the rollers out of your hair, spray it with a light finishing spray to help ensure your hair keeps the curls. Once your hair has sat for a little while and is completely dry and cool, carefully remove each roller and gently brush each section with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. We recommend using a dry texture spray at the end to lock in that volume and keep your hair looking stunning all day long!

Lash Lift and Tint

Lash Lift and Tint 101: Wake Up to Gorgeous Lashes

Want longer, fuller-looking lashes without the daily hassle of mascara or extensions? Lash lifting and tinting might be your new go-to beauty treatment. This dynamic duo works together to enhance your natural lashes, giving you a wide-eyed, effortlessly glamorous look that lasts for weeks. Let’s explore the magic of lash lifting and tinting and how they can transform your lashes.

What is a Lash Lift?

A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that enhances your natural lashes by lifting and curling them from the base. Unlike traditional lash perms that curl the entire lash, a lash lift creates a beautiful upward sweep that makes your lashes appear longer and your eyes look more open.

What is Lash Tinting?

Lash tinting is a process of applying a safe, semi-permanent dye to your eyelashes to darken them. This makes your lashes look fuller, thicker, and more defined, especially if you have naturally light-colored lashes.

The Power Couple: Lash Lift and Tint

When combined, lash lifting and tinting create a stunning, synergistic effect. The lift curls and elongates your lashes, while the tint darkens them, providing the same effect as mascara without the clumps or smudges. This dynamic duo is perfect for anyone seeking a low-maintenance way to enhance their natural beauty.

The Lash Lift and Tint Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

A lash lift and tint is typically performed in a salon by a trained esthetician. The process usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:

Consultation: Your esthetician will begin by discussing your desired look and assessing your natural lashes. This is the time to communicate how dramatic or subtle you want the lift and tint to be.
Preparation: Your lashes and the surrounding area will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or debris.
Shield Placement: A silicone shield is placed on your eyelids to protect them and help shape your lashes. Your lashes are then adhered to the shield using a safe adhesive.
Lifting Solution: A lifting solution is applied to your lashes, softening them and breaking down their natural shape. This allows them to be molded into the desired lifted position.
Setting Solution: After the lifting solution has processed, a setting solution is applied to neutralize it and reform the disulfide bonds in your lashes, locking them into their new lifted shape.
Tinting: If you’re getting your lashes tinted, the tint is applied after the setting solution. The esthetician will carefully apply the tint to your lashes, coating them from base to tip.
Removal and Conditioning: The silicone shields are gently removed, and any remaining adhesive is cleaned off. A nourishing serum or conditioner may be applied to your lashes to hydrate and strengthen them.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Lash Lift and Tint?

Lash lifting and tinting are suitable for most people, but they’re particularly beneficial for those with:

Straight lashes: If your lashes naturally grow straight or downwards, a lash lift can give them a beautiful curl.
Light-colored lashes: If your lashes are blonde or light brown, tinting can make them more visible and defined.
Short lashes: While a lash lift won’t make your lashes physically longer, it will lift them at the base, making them appear longer.
Those seeking a low-maintenance beauty routine: If you’re tired of applying mascara daily, lash lifting and tinting can provide a long-lasting alternative.

How Long Does a Lash Lift and Tint Last?

The results of a lash lift and tint typically last for 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle. To prolong the results, follow these aftercare tips:

Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24-48 hours: This allows the lift and tint to fully set.
Don’t use harsh cleansers or oil-based products on your eyes: These can break down the tint and affect the lift.
Avoid rubbing your eyes: This can disrupt the lifted shape of your lashes.
Be gentle when cleansing your eye area: Use a mild cleanser and pat your lashes dry.
Schedule regular appointments: To maintain your lifted and tinted lashes, you’ll need to repeat the treatment every 6 to 8 weeks.

Is Lash Lifting and Tinting Safe?

When performed by a trained and experienced professional, lash lifting and tinting are generally safe. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, there are some potential risks:

Irritation: Some people may experience mild irritation or redness, especially if they have sensitive eyes.
Allergic reactions: Although rare, some people may be allergic to the solutions or tint used.
Overprocessing: If the solutions are left on for too long, it can damage your lashes.

To minimize these risks, it’s crucial to choose a reputable salon and a qualified esthetician. Always inform your esthetician of any eye sensitivities or allergies you may have.

Lash Lift and Tint vs. Eyelash Extensions

If you’re looking to enhance your lashes, you might be considering lash lifting and tinting versus eyelash extensions. Here’s a quick comparison:

Lash lift and tint: Enhances your natural lashes by lifting, curling, and darkening them.
Eyelash extensions: Involves attaching synthetic fibers to your natural lashes to add length and volume.

The best choice depends on your desired look and lifestyle. If you want a natural enhancement and have sufficient natural lashes, a lash lift and tint is a great option. If you want dramatic length and volume, or have sparse natural lashes, extensions may be more suitable.

Wake Up to Beautiful Lashes

Lash lifting and tinting offer a fantastic way to enhance your natural lashes with minimal effort. Whether you want to simplify your beauty routine, achieve a more wide-eyed look, or simply give your lashes a boost, this treatment is a worthwhile investment. So, ditch the mascara and say hello to effortlessly gorgeous lashes that will have you waking up feeling fabulous every day.

Tips For Avoiding Heat Damage

Heat Protection 101: Keeping Your Hair Healthy and Happy

We all love the sleekness of a straightener, the bounce of a curling iron, and the sun-kissed glow after a day outdoors. But these styling tools and glorious sunshine can also be major culprits when it comes to hair damage. High temperatures from styling tools and prolonged sun exposure can strip your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness, breakage, frizz, and lackluster locks.

But don’t worry! You don’t have to ditch your favorite hot tools or become a vampire to have healthy hair. By understanding the risks and taking the necessary precautions, you can enjoy heat styling and sunny days without compromising the health of your precious strands.

Why is Heat So Damaging to Hair?

To understand how to protect your hair, it’s essential to know what heat does to it. Our hair is made up of a protein called keratin, which gives it strength and elasticity. When exposed to high temperatures, the keratin in your hair begins to break down. This structural damage makes your hair more susceptible to:

Dryness: Heat strips the hair’s natural oils, which are crucial for moisture retention. Dry hair is more prone to breakage and feels rough and brittle.
Breakage: Weakened keratin bonds make your hair more fragile and prone to snapping, leading to shorter hair and split ends.
Frizz: Heat can disrupt the hair’s cuticle, the outer layer that protects the inner cortex. When the cuticle is damaged, it becomes rough, causing frizz and making your hair look dull.
Dullness: A smooth, intact cuticle reflects light, giving your hair a healthy shine. Heat damage roughens the cuticle, making it harder for light to bounce off, resulting in lackluster hair.
Split ends: When the hair shaft is weakened, it’s more likely to split at the ends, leading to a frizzy appearance and the need for more frequent trims.
Color fading: For those with colored hair, heat can cause the dye molecules to break down faster, leading to premature fading and the need for more frequent touch-ups.

Understanding the Culprits: Hot Tools and the Sun

Both hot styling tools and the sun can wreak havoc on your hair, but they do so in slightly different ways:

Hot tools: Straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers can reach extremely high temperatures, often exceeding 400°F (200°C). Direct contact with these tools can cause immediate damage to the hair shaft, leading to dryness, breakage, and split ends. The longer and hotter the contact, the more severe the damage.
The sun: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can also damage the keratin in your hair, though the process is more gradual. Prolonged sun exposure can dry out your hair, fade its color, and make it more susceptible to breakage.

Shield Up! Steps to Avoid Heat Damage

The good news is that you can take several steps to minimize heat damage and keep your hair looking its best:

For Hot Tool Users:

Invest in a good heat protectant: This is non-negotiable! Heat protectants create a barrier between your hair and the heat, shielding it from damage. Look for products that contain ingredients like silicones, keratin, or plant-based polymers. We suggest MoroccanOil’s Perfect Defense!
Use the lowest effective temperature: Start with a lower heat setting and gradually increase it until you achieve your desired style. There’s no need to crank up the heat to the maximum if a lower setting will do the trick.
Keep it moving: Avoid holding the hot tool in one spot for too long. This concentrates the heat and can cause damage. Instead, use smooth, flowing motions.
Dry your hair before styling: Applying a hot tool to wet hair is a recipe for disaster. Wet hair is more fragile and susceptible to damage, so make sure your hair is completely dry before using a straightener or curling iron.
Take breaks from heat styling: Give your hair a break from hot tools whenever possible. Embrace your natural texture on some days and opt for heat-free styling methods like braids, buns, or air-drying.
Maintain your tools: Clean your styling tools regularly to remove any buildup of product or debris. This will ensure they function properly and distribute heat evenly.
Get regular trims: Regular trims remove split ends and prevent them from traveling further up the hair shaft, keeping your hair looking healthy and preventing further damage.

For Sun Lovers:

Wear a hat or scarf: This is the most effective way to protect your hair from the sun’s harmful rays. Choose a wide-brimmed hat or a stylish scarf to shield your strands.
Use UV-protective hair products: Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from the sun. Look for leave-in conditioners, sprays, or gels that contain UV filters.
Avoid prolonged sun exposure during peak hours: The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so try to limit your time in direct sunlight during these hours.
Rinse your hair after swimming: Chlorine and saltwater can dry out and damage your hair, especially when combined with sun exposure. Rinse your hair thoroughly with fresh water after swimming to remove these harmful substances. Using Malibu’s Swimmer’s Shampoo, Conditioner, and crystal packets will also help with getting chlorine out of your hair!
Deep condition regularly: The sun can strip your hair of moisture, so it’s essential to replenish it with regular deep conditioning treatments. Use a hydrating hair mask once a week to keep your hair soft and healthy. We LOVE Matrix’s Food For Soft Rich Hydrating Treatment Mask!

Healthy Hair is Always in Style

By understanding the damaging effects of heat and taking the necessary precautions, you can enjoy your favorite hairstyles and outdoor activities without sacrificing the health of your hair. Remember, healthy hair is always in style, so make heat protection a priority in your hair care routine.

Benefits of Conditioning Treatments

Unlocking Your Hair’s Potential: The Power of Conditioning Treatments and Hair Masks

We put our hair through a lot. From heat styling and chemical treatments to environmental stressors like sun and pollution, our locks face a daily barrage of damage. While a good shampoo and conditioner can provide basic care, they often aren’t enough to combat the cumulative effects of this damage. That’s where conditioning treatments and hair masks come in.

Think of these as supercharged conditioners that provide an intense boost of hydration and nourishment, working to restore your hair’s health, strength, and shine.

Why Your Hair Needs More Than Just Conditioner

Regular conditioners are designed to be used after every shampoo to detangle hair and provide a quick dose of moisture. They typically work on the surface of the hair shaft, smoothing the cuticle for improved manageability.

Conditioning treatments and hair masks, on the other hand, are formulated with higher concentrations of beneficial ingredients and are designed to penetrate deeper into the hair shaft. They offer a more intensive and long-lasting solution for various hair concerns.

The Science Behind the Magic

To understand how these treatments work, let’s look at the structure of hair. The outer layer, the cuticle, is made up of overlapping scales that protect the inner cortex. When hair is damaged, the cuticle becomes raised and rough, leading to dryness, frizz, and breakage.

Conditioning treatments and hair masks are packed with ingredients that target these issues:

Humectants: These ingredients, like glycerin and honey, attract moisture from the environment and draw it into the hair shaft, providing deep hydration.
Emollients: Oils, butters, and fatty alcohols smooth the hair cuticle, reducing friction, increasing shine, and improving manageability.
Proteins: Keratin, collagen, and other proteins help to strengthen the hair shaft, filling in gaps and repairing damage.
Lipids: Ceramides and fatty acids help to restore the hair’s natural protective barrier, preventing moisture loss and increasing resilience.

Benefits of Conditioning Treatments and Hair Masks

Incorporating these treatments into your hair care routine can offer a wide range of benefits:

Deep hydration: They replenish lost moisture, combating dryness and brittleness, and restoring hair’s soft, silky texture.
Damage repair: They help to repair and strengthen the hair shaft, reducing breakage, split ends, and further damage.
Frizz control: By smoothing the cuticle and sealing in moisture, they help to tame frizz and flyaways, leaving hair sleek and manageable.
Increased shine: A smooth, healthy cuticle reflects light better, resulting in vibrant, lustrous hair.
Improved elasticity: They restore hair’s natural elasticity, making it more flexible and less prone to breakage.
Enhanced manageability: They make hair easier to detangle, comb, and style, reducing styling time and frustration.
Protection from damage: They create a protective barrier against environmental stressors, heat styling, and chemical treatments.

Types of Conditioning Treatments and Hair Masks

With so many products on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. Here’s a breakdown of the different types:

Deep conditioners: These are typically used in place of regular conditioner and left on for 5-10 minutes. They provide a more intense dose of moisture and conditioning.
Hair masks: These are thicker and more concentrated than deep conditioners, designed to be left on for longer periods (10-30 minutes or even overnight). They offer the most intensive treatment for severely dry or damaged hair.
Protein treatments: These treatments contain proteins that help to strengthen and repair the hair shaft. They are ideal for damaged, weak, or chemically treated hair.
Moisture masks: These masks are packed with hydrating ingredients and are designed to replenish moisture in dry, dehydrated hair.
Strengthening masks: These masks combine moisturizing and strengthening ingredients to improve hair’s overall health and resilience.

Choosing the Right Treatment for Your Hair

The best treatment for your hair depends on your specific needs and hair type:

Dry hair: Look for moisture masks with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, natural oils, and shea butter.
Damaged hair: Protein treatments with keratin, collagen, or amino acids can help to rebuild and strengthen the hair shaft.
Fine hair: Choose lightweight masks that won’t weigh your hair down. Avoid heavy oils and butters.
Thick hair: Richer, more emollient masks with oils and butters can provide the intense hydration your hair needs.
Color-treated hair: Look for masks specifically formulated for color-treated hair to protect your color and prevent fading.

How to Use Conditioning Treatments and Hair Masks

For optimal results, follow these steps:

Cleanse your hair: Start with a gentle shampoo to remove dirt, oil, and product buildup.
Apply the treatment: Apply a generous amount of the mask or treatment to damp hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.
Distribute evenly: Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly through your hair.
Wait: Leave the treatment on for the recommended time, which can range from 5 minutes to overnight, depending on the product.
Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the treatment out completely with lukewarm water.
Style as usual: Style your hair as you normally would.

A Little TLC Goes a Long Way

Incorporating conditioning treatments and hair masks into your hair care routine is a simple yet effective way to transform your locks from dull and damaged to healthy and radiant. By providing your hair with the intense nourishment it needs, you can unlock its true potential and enjoy the beautiful, vibrant hair you deserve.

M.J. Capelli Curly Haircut

Embracing the Curl: A Guide to Curly Haircuts and Why M.J. Capelli is Your Go-To

For years, curly hair has been misunderstood, mistreated, and often subjected to the tyranny of straighteners and harsh products. But the truth is, curls are beautiful, versatile, and full of life! And with the right haircut and care, anyone can rock a head full of gorgeous, bouncy curls.

If you’re in the Fargo area and ready to embrace your natural texture, M.J. Capelli is the salon for you. With a passion for curls and a wealth of expertise, we specialize in creating stunning, personalized curly haircuts that celebrate your unique hair.

What is a Curly Haircut?

A curly haircut is more than just a trim; it’s a specialized technique that considers the unique needs and behavior of curly hair. Unlike straight hair, curls have a mind of their own. They coil, spiral, and bounce in unpredictable ways, making them difficult to cut with traditional methods.

A proper curly haircut takes into account several factors:

Curl pattern: From loose waves to tight coils, everyone’s curl pattern is different. Our skilled stylists will identify your specific curl type to determine the best cutting approach.
Hair density: Curly hair can be thick or fine, and this affects how it should be layered and shaped.
Porosity: Curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair, so understanding its porosity (how well it absorbs moisture) is crucial for a healthy cut.
Shrinkage: Curly hair shrinks as it dries, sometimes dramatically! Our stylists will account for this to avoid cutting the hair too short.

Why Curly Haircuts are Different

Traditional haircuts, often performed on wet hair, can be disastrous for curls. When wet, curls are elongated, and cutting them in this state can lead to unevenness and frizz when they dry and spring back up.

Curly haircuts, on the other hand, are often done on dry hair, allowing our stylists to see the natural shape and movement of the curls. This ensures that each curl is cut in a way that enhances its individual beauty and contributes to the overall style.

The Benefits of a Professional Curly Haircut

A well-executed curly haircut can make a world of difference. Here are just a few of the benefits:

Reduced frizz: By cutting each curl in its natural state, a curly haircut minimizes disruption to the curl pattern, resulting in less frizz.
Enhanced definition: Proper layering and shaping can help curls clump together beautifully, creating more defined and bouncy curls.
Increased volume: A good curly haircut can remove excess weight and encourage lift at the roots, giving your hair more volume and movement.
Easier styling: With a cut that works with your natural texture, styling becomes much easier and faster.
Healthier hair: Removing damaged ends and promoting a healthy curl pattern can improve the overall health and appearance of your hair.

Styling and education: Your stylist will style your hair using Color Wow products and teach you how to properly care for and style your curls at home. You’ll leave the salon not only with a fabulous haircut but also with the knowledge and confidence to rock your curls every day.
