The Hair Treatment Beyoncé Uses For Flawless Hair

Published on by Lee3 Comments

For the entirety of Beyoncé’s career, her hair has made headlines
 The iconic braid that birthed the greatest hair flick of all time, her curls at Coachella, and most recently, her beaded IVY Park braids that shut down Instagram.

Anyhow, we digress
 Our point is, we want to know what BeyoncĂ© does to her hair, and it turns out, her solution is pretty simple. BeyoncĂ© trusts in her hair colorist Rita Hazan and her Weekly Remedy Treatment that has also nourished the tresses of superstars J.Lo and Mariah Carey. Rita said that whenever she colors hair, she’ll always provide her clients with the Weekly Remedy Treatment For Deep Hydration & Superior Shine, $42, to boost hair health and ensure the color stays in good condition. The treatment is also easy to use on the go as there’s no waiting time and works for straight, curly, coily, and wavy hair. Here’s everything you need to know about the treatment.

The Treatment

The two-step treatment works to restore and replenish the hair from the inside-out to leave your tresses feeling soft and frizz-free. The first step will lift the hair cuticle so that the oils in the second step can penetrate the hair for maximum impact. The second step seals the cuticle and locks in nutrients for deep hydration. And trust us, you want to seal in these ingredients!

Not only does it contain a potent blend of Mirabelle plum, moringa seed, jojoba, and olive, but it also features rice proteins. Rice proteins are one of the most potent hair remedies as they’re packed with proteins and amino acids that hydrate and restore the hair strand so that it’s less likely to frizz. Plus, it’s a rich source of vitamins including B, C, and E, which can help boost growth while adding shine. There’s even a village in China, Huangluo, known as the land of Rapunzels because it holds the Guinness World Record as the ‘world’s longest hair village.’ And guess what they use? Rice water!

How To Use The Weekly Remedy Treatment

Begin by shampooing the hair as usual, then apply a quarter size amount of STEP 1 from roots to the ends and rinse immediately. Next, apply a quarter-size amount of STEP 2, working it through the hair from roots to end and rinse. There’s no wait time needed and the results will be instant. Rita recommends using this mask once a week for damaged hair and twice for severely damaged hair.

The Reviews

Online at Sephora, one customer wrote “Let me tell you something. This absolutely rescued my hair from being just shaved off.” while another curly hair girl wrote “My hair is thick and curly underneath and this product makes it feel super conditioned but doesn’t flatten my hair, LOVE” as you can probably tell, it’s the bomb.com.

BEAUTY Q&A: HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU TIP YOUR HAIRSTYLIST?

Published on by Lee1 Comment

Your hair appointment shouldn’t be shrouded in fear of tipping the wrong amount. Cutting your hair too short? Maybe. Making a huge mistake by getting bangs in the middle of summer? Definitely. Dealing with the pressure of wanting to leave the salon looking like your best damn self (even though the whole thing is kind of out your hands) is enough to deal with without factoring in tipping-related stress. So if you’ve been preemptively wondering how much extra cash you should bring with you to your appointment, quit Googling and stopping asking your friends because everyone’s going to have a different opinion. To answer this ever-so-popular question once and for all, we reached out to New Jersey-based hairstylist Jennifer Geoghan.

“Twenty percent of the cost of your service is a good rule of thumb for tipping,” says Jennifer. Simply plug the price of your haircut right into your phone’s calculator and multiply it by .20 to get the dollar amount you should give your stylist. For example, a $50 haircut will lend itself to a $10 tip; a $100 haircut $20, and a $200 haircut $40. “Hairstyling is a work of art,” Jennifer adds. “A stylist’s price depends on their education, skill, number of years in their careers, continued education and keeping their tools and products up to date. Keep in mind when paying for a service and tipping a hairstylist, you are paying for their history, not just the service itself.”

And what about the washer or assistant who had a hand in the whole thing? “Tipping the washer or assistant is ultimately up to you, but $3-$10 is always helpful and appreciated,” says Jennifer. “Even though it may seem that the assistant or hair washer isn’t doing much in the scheme of things, their wages aren’t super high, mostly because they are barely getting hours. So, the assistants and hair washers really rely on their tips. Plus, they’re helping out the hairstylist a lot behind the scenes to ensure you have a calm, successful and happy appointment. If you know that they played a big role in making your hair fabulous (say, washing it or blowing it dry) consider tipping, so they know their work was appreciated.
