SKILLS Talk – Episode 7 “THIS IS WHY NAIL CARE IS IMPORTANT”

 

In this episode, our Senior Barber  @barber.mo along with our Nail Technician Ms. Dianne talks about Nail Care.

 

Nail Care is not just for Female

Nail care is for everyone who wants to look presentable and hygienic.

Nail Care is for everyone, it doesn’t matter whether you are male or female as long as you want to look more presentable and hygienic, then yes you should always invest in having a proper regiment for your nails as you would have on your hair.

 

The difference between doing your nails at home and by a professional is that you only do 50% of the actual process and there is a lot of things that you neglect, most especially the filing and cutting the cuticle.

 

Nail Filing at SKILLS Dubai Barbershop

The difference between doing your nails at home and by a professional is that you only do 50% of the actual process.

 

The frequency of cutting your nail is usually every 2 weeks, on that time you will see that your nail is already looking unmanageable, if you are the type of person who wants to look sharp and clean at most of the time then every week is possible, as long as you don’t go less this is to avoid going too short and cutting your nail beds.

 

It is important that you cut your nail as often as possible because if not the germs buildup underneath your nails will cause you the have infections or the transfer of dirt from your nails to your mouth or hands.

You should always cut your nails every 2 weeks or a minimum once a week if you are the type of person who wants to look neater.

SKILLS Talk – Episode 6 “THESE BAD HABITS ARE DAMAGING YOUR HAIR”

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

 

SKILLS Talk – Episode 6 “THESE BAD HABITS ARE DAMAGING YOUR HAIR”

 

In this episode, our Senior Barber @barber.mo talks about some of the most common bad habits that people do that are damaging their hair.

 

1. Using Commercial Shampoo over Chemical-free Shampoo

You should always avoid using a shampoo that has both Sulfates and Parabens because they strip your hair of its natural oils, making it dry and brittle. Instead, use natural shampoos that are made with natural plant oils and herb extracts, most commonly that has coconut oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, and Also don’t forget to use Conditioner because the shampoo alone is not enough.

 

Dry Hair when using commercial shampoo

Your hair gets dry when you use shampoos that have harmful chemical ingredients such as Parabens and Sulfates

2. Doing your Blowdrying near to the scalp

Holding the dryer too close for too long can literally fry the hair and burn the scalp, potentially causing permanent damage to the hair follicles resulting in hair loss and bald patches.

Blowdrying your hair too close and Brushing your hair too tight.

Never blowdry too near your scalp and brush your hair too rough with the brush.

3. Sleeping with Hair Product on your Hair

Products can leave a thick residue on your scalp if it’s not properly washed off, this can clog the pores of your scalp and cause hair follicle reduction. That it means your hair start to grow thinner, weaker, more brittle hairs – which can give an appearance of hair loss.

 

Hair Products Styling Hair

Hair Products can clog your pores if not washed properly before you sleep.

4. Drying your hair forcefully with the towel

Using a towel is not generally bad but just rubbing your wet hair forcefully with a towel can lead to excessive hair breakage and hair fall. Its thick absorbent fibers when rubbed with the hair actually do more harm than good.

The hair can also become extremely frizzy as the towel ruffles up the cuticles of the hair. Moreover, the weight of the towel itself pulls down the hair, causing vulnerable strands to break.

 

Drying your Hair Roughly with the Towel

Another Bad Habit is Drying your hair Roughly with the Towel.

5. Neglecting to moisturize your hair after swimming in the pool or beach.

Both the chlorine and saltwater dry out the hair and strip away its natural oil, making the hair drier and thin. That’s why it is very important to rinse your hair after your swim to wash out all the chlorine and bacteria that was soaked up by your strands to avoid further damage.

 

Washing Hair Kevin Gates in Dubai at SKILLS Barbershop

Always rinse your hair after you go swimming outdoors and apply moisturizer on your hair to avoid any further damage.

 

 

That’s it for this episode, make sure you avoid all these habits if you want your hair to last with you longer. See you on the next episode.

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.

When you are shaving follow the direction of your hair growth

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.

 

express Facial Wash after shaving

Cleansing skin after shaving to remove extra hair particles and shaving product.

 

 

It is advisable to do your shaving once a week or if its urgent minimum of 3 days if you are the type of person who wants to look sharp at all the time.

 

That’s it for this episode, I hope that this video will be helpful for you.

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

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

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 the guidelines of your previous barber

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.

 

Different Hair Structure and Types Different Head Structure or Face Shapes

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.

 

Haircut by means of clipper

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.

 

Trust the Barber

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.

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

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 used in Hair Straightening/ Relaxing

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.

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.

 

Hair Consultation Before Doing the Keratin Hair Treatment

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

 

  1. Find a professional who has a good background in doing the Hair Straightening/ Relaxing Treatment.
  2. Make sure to do a consultation first if your scalp or hair is capable of the Treatment.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Make sure to only use the home care products advised by the stylist for your hair maintenance

 

Relaxed Hair After the Hair Straightening Relaxing Treatment

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.

 

Keratin And Straightening Relaxing Works Together

 

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.

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 - SKILLS Dubai Barbershop

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 Process

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.
