Struggling to achieve salon results at home? We’ve got you! These professional hair styling tips can help!


Water Temperature and Oil-Production in Your Hair


Did you know that the temperature of your water activates the oil-producing sebaceous glands in your hair?


Salon professionals are careful to rinse hair with water that isn’t too hot or cold. When rinsing, carefully adjust the temperature to where it feels most comfortable. This helps avoid oily feeling hair afterwards.


Still feel that your hair is too oily? We recommend Rica Balance Remedy Shampoo.


Ensure Your Hair is 100% Dry Before Applying Heat


If you’re crunched for time, it might be tempting to go directly from the shower to applying straighteners or heated rollers to style your hair. Careful! Heat can damage your hair, especially if it’s still a little wet.


To protect your hair from heat damage, ensure it’s completely dry before using heating elements.


If you feel that your hair has suffered heat damage, we recommend Savannah Hair Therapy Moisture Repair Treatment Masque.


Shampoo in Two Stages for Optimal Hair


You may not need to wash your hair everyday. Our salon professionals recommend that you wash your hair whenever it feels oily or unclean. Washing too often can lead to hair damage and rob you of the salon-grade look you’re going for.


If it’s been a while since you last washed your hair, you should use two shampoos. The first wash should be with a clarifying shampoo to help knock down any products that have built up, and remove dirt. Your second wash should be with a shampoo designed for your hair type.


Your Perfect Shampoo Will Change


What challenges do you have with your hair? Is it too oily or dry? Do you have split ends?


Your challenges may change as your hair gets used to the shampoo you use. What’s best for it one month might be different the next. Don’t be afraid to reassess for best results!


We recommend taking the time to assess your hair at least once every 60 days. Once you identify the most pressing issues getting in the way of your favorite style, switch to a shampoo formulated to meet your current hair needs.


Blow Drying Like a Pro


Hair dryers are pretty simple to operate, but there’s a reason we LOVE the way our hair looks after a professional blow-dry. Salon-grade hair styling tools and techniques are a must if you want to get the same satisfaction at home.


Salon-Grade Hair Dryers: A Worthy Investment


Did you know that the longer you take drying your hair, the more potential there is for damage? High quality blow-dryers have hair saving features like ionic air technology and multiple heat settings - designed to help you quickly dry without damaging hair.


Use a Microfiber Towel to Wrap Your Hair


You’ll also want to pay attention to the towel you use to wrap your hair after a shower. Cotton towels aren’t great for hair. If you leave your hair wrapped in one for more than a few minutes, you’re doing damage that could lead to breakoffs. Instead, we recommend a microfiber towel to keep your hair in line after a shower, while you get ready to blow-dry.


Don’t Over Dry!


Everyone’s hair is different. Thinner or medium-thick hair can take a longer session with the dryer, getting most of the way dry (but not bone dry!). Thicker hair shouldn’t be dried to the same extent - about half-dry is a good target for styling without causing damage.


Safe, Natural Hair Color Treatments


Harsh chemical treatments in a bottle can wreak havoc on your hair. Our salon partners have raved about the results they’ve seen with our Colorica hair color treatments - thanks to the natural ingredients and vibrant colour technology in every bottle.


Some of our more popular options include Colorica’s 8.34 hair color (light golden copper blonde) and 8.3 light golden blonde.


You can get salon-grade results at home!


As we deal with unpredictable times, getting an appointment at a hair salon can be daunting. Don’t worry. You’ve got this.


Joy professional hair care products include exclusive lines that were only available at salons. In response to COVID-19, we’ve made all of our salon-grade product lines available online for convenient home delivery, for a lot less than you may think!
