As the Chair Turns - August 2018

Picture
This month’s newsletter comes to you on the heels of my return from a long overdue vacation.   

Last month I mentioned I would to be taking a week-long car camping road trip.  It was my first solo adventure and something I will more than likely do again.   I saw a lot.  Learned a lot.   And I was reminded that “the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.”  No matter how carefully you make plans, something may still go wrong with it.   The fires in Southwest Oregon and all throughout Northern California forced me to rethink the second half of my vacation.   Even with the change of plans (and an auto breakdown) I still had an amazing week.  I can’t wait to share my adventure with you when you’re in next.

As the Chair Turns - The Camping Edition (July 2018)

Picture
This month’s newsletter was inspired by the fact that I will be taking a week long, car camping, road trip up the California coasts into Oregon the last week of July.   You read that right.   I’m actually going to be taking a long overdue vacation.   So, if you are due for a hair appointment you may want to scheduled something before I head out that week.
 
Many of you will be vacationing, hitting the road, or even camping over the next couple months so I want to make sure you (well, at least your hair) looks good.   

I found some really good information to help with your camping hair needs.   There are hair tips for dealing with dirty, day old hair and making it look good, what to do if you don’t have water for shampooing, and even a curly hair camping survival guide.  If you have shorter hair my best advise would be to limit your hair product usage to a minimum.   Guys, if you have long hair, I’ve got your camping hair covered, too.   One common thread in these articles is dry shampoo.  Dry shampoo is a great option for both long and short hair.  

Depending on where you're heading this summer you might be some long travel days.   Podcasts can be a great way to help pass the time so think about subscribing to a podcast or two and upping your outdoor game. 

Don’t forget to bring a good book.  There are a couple links with summer favorites for your reading list.   You may even want to download the audio-book version of some of your favorites, too.  

I have a nice article for you on handy personal hygiene tips when camping to keep you fresh.   

First Aid is important while you’re camping and hiking and you’ll need to be able to identify and treat those summer skin rashes.  

You’ll want to plan a few campsite meals, too, right.  I have some easy campfire recipes for you.   Mmm, Camping Mac n’ Cheese.  

If camping isn’t your thing, I stumbled across a great article with some of the best Glamping spots in the US.   This article reminded me I need to plan a trip to Safari West in Sonoma County.  

All of that and more in this month’s “Camping Edition”.

Happy trails...

As the Chair Turns - May 2018

Picture
I have a feeling that most of you might agree that April was a busy month with Spring Breaks, travels, and visiting friends and family members.   For me, I attended a hair cutting workshop, a hair industry trade show, and even had a house guest myself last month.  

If there is anything you know about me it is that I cannot get enough education.   The more I lean and absorb, the more it benefits you.   

These workshops and hair shows are great refreshers and reminders of things I’ve learned in the past but may not have had an opportunity to practice much (or at least in a while).  I’ll be sitting in one of these workshops and go “Oh, Yeah, I remember learning that.”    Every time I learn something new, though, I am always imagining how I will be able to incorporate what I’ve just learned in to your next haircut or color.   Many of you have already benefited from these workshops.   If I can learn at least one new thing or pick up a new tip, it’s a successful workshop.  And some  times these workshops are simply reminders to watch my posture, check my techniques, take care of my health, and say please and thank you.  

The Schwarzkopf hair color workshop I attended was spread out over 4 different sessions.    The transformations were amazing.   A few I’ve shared on my
Hair by Brian Facebook page.    Many of the upcoming hair color trends are taken right off the runway, from haute couture, and modified in to something you could wear every day.   You may not think you’d ever be wearing something you've seen during Fashion Week, but in a short time, it will be simplified in to something you can eventually incorporate into your own style.   The same goes for hairstyles and hair color.    You might say I’ll never wear THAT, but in a few months time you’ll be asking me how would you look with this or that hairstyle or hair color.   

The hair show was still focusing on and demonstrating men’s “tailored” haircuts, basically shorter, classic styles.   Last month, if you remember, I shared an article that men’s hairstyles were trending toward the longer side.   The great thing about men’s hairstyles today is that pretty much anything goes as long as it looks good on you, suits your style, and you can carry it off.  Just because something is trending does not mean it is for everyone.   That said, I have great article on article on
taper fade haircuts - what are they and what is the best style for you.   And there is no time like the present for an article with some advice from neighborhood barbers with philosophical to practical advice on being a man. 

For you ladies, I found a nice article with some “dope” hairstyles for your workout.   

If you have long hair, and have had an “amazing” shampoo from me, you’ll know I stress the importance of finger combing or detangling your hair while conditioning.   I have article for you on the benefits of this
finger detangling.  

And what about your hair dryer?   Has it seen it’s last days?    It may be time for an upgrade.  Check out the article on
5 Reasons Why It May Be Time To Upgrade Your Blow Dryer. 

I’ve had many articles about the health of your hair and feeding it from the inside out.  I have a nice article for you about
Eating Your Way to Healthy Hair from a trichologist who says the secret to growing healthy hair starts with your diet.  

Don’t forget to tell your Mum how much she means to you.
Mother's Day is Sunday, May 13th.

Take a look at this month’s newsletter below for all of that and more.
