Winter Static...How to Deal

Having problems with static eletricity this winter? Here are a couple of tips to try to get rid of this very common winter problem. Addressing the first reason, dryness, you need to invest in a hydrating shampoo and conditioner for the winter months. Cheeky Strut offers several great options

by L'Oreal, Aquage and Pureology.

The next step is to get a deep conditioning mask by L'Oreal to use once a week to put moisture back into your hair. If you feel those are too heavy for your hair try one of our great leave-on treatments instead.

After styling hair, use a smoothing styler or styling gel to hold hair in place. Do not try to hold it in place with hairspray on an over staticky day, this will only make it worse!

If all of this hasn't done the trick, or you are doing this already, you may be using too much product period. Either way, try lightly running a dryer sheet over your head and watch the static go away, it's amazing. Be careful not to over do it though, it can also make your hair greasy.

Now, if you try this and it doesn't work, then you have the opposite problem...you have too much product in your hair! there is a thin line between good and too much! Clarifying shampoo is something we swear by at Cheeky Strut! Your hair is becoming brittle and staticky because your other shampoo and conditioner isn't washing away all the gunk you have on your scalp. Starting your daily ritual with clarifying and letting it sit for 3 minutes, rinse and start with your new moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.

Hopefully this has helped all of you static sufferers out there! If you have tried all of these things and are still having troubles, call us at Cheeky Strut and set up a consultation. We will be able to work with you to find a resolution.

DIY Hair ~ Men's Style 2010 Trends

The most important thing to remember about men's hair is that is should have a strong shape. Strong shapes are historically indicative of masculinity. However, keep in mind that the idea of freedom still exists. A man's haircut should also complement his personality. You may even want to consider getting a style that can be worn to either the office or to the club. We call this a "convertible haircut" -- just add product.

The top 3 hair trends for men in 2010:

(1) "Fringe" (or bangs) - Where there is fringe, there is texture. Straight, wavy, or curly - anything goes.

(2) "Slick Back" - Many designers like Roberto Cavalli and Tom Ford are showing us that the classic slick back of the 50s is becoming more popular. Try doing this look with or without a side part.

(3) "Side Part" - Clearly defining a side part is a quick way to put a fresh twist on a classic haircut. Look to Armani, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana for inspiration. Remember that the more defined you make your part, the more fashion forward you will be.

There's more to men's hair than just cutting. More and more, the demand for men's haircoloring services is increasing. Many manufacturers are responding to this by introducing haircolor specifically for men. These are far more advanced than men's haircolors of the past. These new, gentle, and fast services can be done in only 5 minutes! There's no need for your regular haircut appointment to take any longer, this service is done right at the shampoo bowl.
