SKILLS Talk – Episode 5 “AVOID PROBLEMS ON YOUR NEXT BEARD SHAVE”

In this episode, our Senior Barber @barber.mo talks about all that you need to know about shaving at home.

The most important points to know before you start your shaving is to have your very own Personal Shaving Kit with a Proper Shaving Gel, and always place them away from the Bathroom to avoid the accumulation of the Germs and Bacteria on your next shave. And if you are using disposable shavers make sure to only use it once.

THE SHAVING PROCESS

When you are ready to start your shave, always start by applying the Shaving Gel in a form of massage to your skin so that you can stimulate the blood flow around your face and at the same time soften your facial hair which helps in making the shave much more smooth.

After that apply Hot Towel to open the pores and then you can start shaving.

Applying the Shaving Gel and the Hot Towel right after to open the pores for easy and smooth shaving.

When you shave you always want to follow the direction of your hair growth and don’t do the other way around because that would lead to cuts and ingrown.

When you are done with your shaving, don’t forget to cleanse your face with Cold Water or Cold Towel so that you can close the pores and if you have a cleanser you can apply it on your face so that you can remove the excess hair or product, then after that apply skin moisturizer so that it will lessen the dryness on your skin and don’t use any Cologne or Alcohol substance as it causes redness and irritation.

SKILLS Talk – Episode 4 “GET THE BEST HAIRCUT WITH ANY BARBER”

In this episode our Senior Barber @barber.mo talks about how to get the best haircut with any barber.

TIP # 1 – Forget about the guidelines of your previous barber.

When you are dealing with a new barber you need to know that the guidelines of the previous barber just don’t work because each barber is different, along with different mindset, techniques and understanding on the different haircut and style.

Forget about all the guidelines, numbers, etc. from your previous barber.

TIP # 2 – Understanding your Hair Texture and Head Structure.

The are different types of Hair Texture as well as Head Structure, before your next haircut make sure that you are well aware on which category you are in so that you can have an idea which type of haircut is best for you.

TIP # 3 – Share details with your barber.

The most important question that you should share with your barber is “When was the last time you cut your hair? With this information the barber can assess and visualize how your hair usually grows and know how short or long he can go based on your preference. As well as when you have some spots, scars or mole that you want to cover, this also helps with the finishing.

Your hair history is important.

TIP # 4 – Know the difference between the “Haircut” and the “Hairstyle”

When we talk about the “Haircut”, it is the process of how the barber cuts your hair by using the clipper or scissor, and it can be a fade, gradual haircut or longhair haircut. That makes it the foundation for the hairstyle. When we talk about the “Hairstyle”, it is the process of how you style your hair by using the right hair product, blow-dry and with proper hair condition. The Haircut is the foundation and The Hairstyle is the finishing.

The Haircut is the Foundation, The Hairstyle is the finishing.

TIP # 5 – Trust the Barber

First of all, Barbers are Artist and they are the master of their own craft, so when you trust your barber you give them the opportunity to be more creative, more comfortable that can help them you give the best haircut by being calm and tell them your struggle and what type of haircut that you desire.

Always TRUST the Barber.

That’s it for this Episode, I hope you guys learned all about how to get the best haircut with any barber.

Previous Episode (SKILLS Talk – Episode 2: “THE KERATIN HAIR TREATMENT IS NOT FOR STRAIGHTENING”)

SKILLS Talk – Episode 3 “IS HAIR STRAIGHTENING/ RELAXING A GOOD OPTION?”

In this episode, our Senior Barber @barber.mo talks about what is the Straightening/Relaxing Treatment, and should you choose it over the Keratin Hair Treatment? Let’s find out!

Different types of Relaxers and chemicals used in the Hair Straightening/ Relaxing Treatment Process

The Hair Straightening/Relaxing Treatment is a type of treatment that uses chemicals such as Sodium, Lithium, and Guanidine Hydroxide to straighten your hair. The chemical components have pretty mild effects on the hair but it is very severe on the scalp.

The process of the Hair Straightening/ Relaxing Treatment is it reduces the curl by breaking down the hair strand and reforming the hair’s components by chemicals which softens very tight or kinky curls. The risk of doing the Hair Straightening is if done the wrong way could damage your scalp or burn your hair.

Applying the Hair Relaxer

The benefits of having the Hair Straightening Treatment is it makes the hair more manageable, making it straighter, and saves you a lot of time in styling your hair as well as using the blow-dry and using less hair product.

If you are planning or interested to do your Hair Straightening Treatment in the future make sure to do the following tips and advice for your safety.

Doing the Hair Consultation is Very Important before you do any Hair Treatment/Coloring Procedure

Find a professional who has a good background in doing the Hair Straightening/ Relaxing Treatment.
Make sure to do a consultation first if your scalp or hair is capable of the Treatment.
Inform your stylist about all your past history in the last few months and if you did any hair straightening/relaxing as this could affect the results during the process.
Make sure to follow the advice of your stylist after doing the Hair Straightening/ Relaxing Treatment in order to prolong d maintain the effects of the Treatment.
Make sure to only use the home care products advised by the stylist for your hair maintenance

If you got it right, Then Enjoy your new and Straight Hair 🙂

It is advisable to have the Keratin Hair Treatment done after the Hair Straightening Treatment so that you can treat your hair and give it a much healthier and straighter look, as well as combining both treatments can lengthen the duration of the treatment. As normally the Keratin lasts for 2-3 months and the Straightening lasts 6-8 weeks.

That’s it for this episode, I hope you guys learned a lot about the Hair Straightening Treatment and what is the difference between the Keratin Hair Treatment.

Previous Episode (SKILLS Talk – Episode 1: WHY PEOPLE FEAR TO DO BLEACH?)

SKILLS Talk – Episode 2 “THE KERATIN HAIR TREATMENT IS NOT FOR STRAIGHTENING”

In this episode our Senior Barber @barber.mo talks about the common misconception of the Keratin Hair Treatment, what is the Keratin Treatment? and does it really straighten the Hair? Let’s find out!

Keratin Protein found in Hair Strands, skin and in our Nails

Keratin is a natural type of protein found in your skin, hair, and nails. This protein forms fibers that make it strong. It acts as an external protective and internal structural protein to protect your hair and keep them healthy.

Due to exposure to external factors like the sun (Most especially here in the Middle East), chemicals from your styling products, or changes in your lifestyle, the keratin which is present in the hair gets depleted. This loss is the result that leads to dry, damaged, and dull hair.

Unhealthy and Damaged Hair

As mentioned above, The Keratin Hair Treatment doesn’t have the purpose of having your hair straight. The reason why you think like that is because of the process of doing the Keratin as it involves using the blow-dry to remove the moisture and the main reason is the flat-iron that helps seal the solution upon application.

Applying the Keratin Treatment and then Iron-ing it to seal the solution.

The benefits of having the Keratin Hair Treatment is it makes the hair more manageable, making it look healthier, it saves you a lot of time in styling your hair as well as using the blow-dry and using less hair product.

If you are planning or interested to do your Keratin Hair Treatment in the future make sure to do the following tips and advice for your safety.

Doing the Hair Consultation is Very Important before you do any Hair Treatment/Coloring Procedure

Find a professional who has a good background in doing the Keratin Hair Treatment.
Check the product that they are using and avoid if Formaldehyde is found, ask if they have any alternative, or find another salon that has Formaldehyde-free Keratin Hair Treatment.
Make sure to do a consultation first if your scalp or hair is capable of the Treatment.
Inform your stylist about all your past history in the last few months and if you did any hair straightening/relaxing as this could affect the results during the process.
Make sure to follow the advice of your stylist after doing the Keratin Hair Treatment in order to prolong and maintain the effects of the Treatment.
Make sure to only use the home care products advised by the stylist for your hair maintenance.

If you got it right, Then Enjoy your new and revitalized Hair 🙂

SKILLS Talk – Episode 1 : “WHY PEOPLE FEAR TO DO HAIR BLEACH?”

SKILLS Talk – Episode 1 “WHY PEOPLE FEAR TO DO HAIR BLEACH?”

In this episode of SKILLS Talk, our Senior Barber @barber.mo talks about the struggle and fear of the people regarding the bleach or the bleaching process to achieve the platinum hair color or any color.

Normal Hair Color Before the Bleaching Process

The negative consequences of doing the Hair bleach are all solely based on the professional or stylist doing the service as it is a chemical treatment. And if there are any miscalculations with the chemical or left too long on your scalp/hair then that is where the risk of the damage happens.

Bleaching is a Chemical Process and should always be done by a professional.

The benefits of reaching the highest tone level are that you can change your hair color as often as you like and as long as it is applicable. You can go from Blonde to Platinum to Ash Brown, etc. in just 5 mins, you can match it with your suit, watch or shoes, and if you get bored with it, still it only takes 5 mins to go back to the way it is.

After Bleaching and Reaching the Highest Tone Color

If you are planning or interested to do your hair bleaching in the future make sure to do the following tips and advice for your safety.

1. Find a professional who has a good background in doing bleach or highlights.

2. Make sure to do a consultation first if your scalp or hair is capable of the bleach.

3. Inform your stylist about all your past history in the last few months and if you did any hair coloring as this could affect the results during the process.

4. Severe Scalp Irritation, Burning, or Scarring is very rare unless the person is unqualified to do the bleaching if so, it would be best to stop the process to avoid any more damage to your hair and scalp.

5. Make sure to follow the advice of your stylist after doing the Bleach in order to prolong the hair color and maintain your hair texture.

If you got it right, Then Enjoy 🙂

That’s it for this episode, I hope you guys learned a lot about the Bleach and Process.
