Let’s talk about something I see skipped ALL the time… heat protectant !

If you’re using ANY kind of heat on your hair (blow dryer, curling iron, flat iron), a heat protectant is not optional… it’s a must.

Think of it like sunscreen for your hair ☀️

•On WET hair:
Using a heat protectant before blow drying helps prevent moisture loss, breakage, and that rough, frizzy feeling. It also helps smooth the hair and gives you a better blowout overall.

Linseys go-to favorites for wet hair are the Redken Acidic Gloss Heat Treatment and the Kenra Blowout Spray.

•On DRY hair:
Before you go in with a curling iron or flat iron, this step protects your ends from frying and snapping off. It also helps your style hold better and keeps your hair looking shiny instead of dull.

For dry styling, I love the Moroccanoil Perfect Defense 🙌🏼

Skipping heat protectant = dryness, breakage, split ends, and faded color

If you’re investing in your hair color or extensions, this is one of the easiest ways to protect that investment!

Not sure which one to use? I can help you find the perfect one for your hair type 🤩🤩

Okay, but I have to talk about this new Redken line for a sec 🤍

If you have fine, flat, or “my hair won’t hold volume no matter what I do” hair… listen up.

The new Acidic Grow Full line is honestly SO good. It’s made to give you that fuller, thicker look right away, but also helps your hair get stronger over time (which is usually the real problem).

It’s all about scalp health + less breakage = better hair.

What I’m seeing behind the chair:
• Way more volume at the root.
• Hair feels thicker without being weighed down.
• Less breakage when brushing or styling.
• That “blowout look” actually lasts.

And no, it’s not a magic grow-your-hair-overnight situation… BUT it helps create the look of fuller hair instantly while working on the health of your hair long-term (which we love 🙌).

Also — if you struggle with greasy hair, this shampoo is SO good for that too 👏

The spray is probably my favorite for volume, but the full system together is what really makes the biggest difference.

Perfect for my girls who say:
“My hair just falls flat.”
“It feels thinner than it used to.”
“I can’t get volume to stay.”

If that’s you… you need this.

Message us or ask us at your next appointment and I’ll tell you if it’s a good fit for your hair 🤍

Ever wonder what a shower filter can actually do for your hair?

If your hair feels dry, dull, or like it has a weird buildup no matter what you use… your WATER might be the problem!

Here’s the truth about shower filters:

What they DO:
• Reduce chlorine (aka the thing that dries your hair out + fades your color)
• Help remove metals + impurities that cause buildup
• Improve shine, softness, and manageability
• Help your color last longer (especially blondes 🤍)
• Make your products actually work better

Why it matters:
Hard water (which we have A LOT of around here) can leave your hair feeling:
• Waxy or coated
• Dry but heavy at the same time
• Hard to lather or fully cleanse

Blondes can even notice brassiness or dullness from mineral buildup!

What they DON’T do:
• They don’t fully soften hard water
• They won’t magically fix damaged hair overnight
• You’ll still need to clarify occasionally

Who needs one?
• If you’re blonde
• If you have extensions
• If your hair always feels off no matter what you try
• If you struggle with dryness or frizz

•Pro tip:
Even with a filter, use a clarifying shampoo 1–2x a month + a good deep conditioner to keep your hair in its BEST shape.

Bottom line: a shower filter is one of the easiest upgrades you can make for healthier, shinier hair 🙌

If you want recommendations (or want me to carry some in the salon), let me know!
