Soar into the '20's!

0 Comments

Read Now
 
It is officially the year of vision and focus! Where the 1920s roared in loudly with new styles and a general rebellion against the "moral norms", the 2020s will soar high with acceptance and our own reinvention of "societal norms". Many of the influences to impact the 1920s were birthed right here in Detroit! The Industrial Revolution brought more wealth and people into the city than ever before. This allowed for unprecedented sharing of goods and information, and gave birth to some of the most fascinating subcultures in modern times. 

We tend to romanticize the 1920s woman with her sassy flapper wear and short hair, but those were more than just fashionable trends. Women were rebelling to be noticed, to have their voices heard. They were no longer going to be the quiet wife waiting at home. They had opinions and ambitions, and they were done pleading quietly for their rights. 

While women today have their own challenges to face, without the lionesses of the 1920s we wouldn't be nearly as close to equality as we are. There is an outdated Michigan law frequently cited when ridiculous outdated laws are discussed that prohibit a woman from cutting her hair without her husband's approval. Though it is difficult to find citation for the actual law, it is not hard to believe since that is one reason a 1920s flapper maintained short hair. A flapper's short hair was a snub directed at men who felt they could dictate their woman's appearance.

​Although we needn't fear our father or husband's wrath where the length of our hair is concerned, could we see a revitalization of this rebellious style as we enjoy the freedoms hard won and push forward for equal rights for all? After seeing Michelle William's platinum locks at the 2020 Golden Globes, this is a movement we are fully behind.

Looking to up your hair game this fall?

Bangs are a great way to get a completely new look!
A little fringe creates new movement and shape creating a new you for fall.

Lid-grazing length, like the gorgeous Nichole Marsfelder, gives your style glam and mystique. Long fringe draws attention down from your forehead to your eyes, nose and lips. A soft, textured cut brings softness to your face for a youthful effect. Give texture a boost with R+Co's Trophy Shine + Texture Spray without sacrificing healthy shine!

Envision yourself with a cut that's a bit more edgy? Blunt, short bangs are fresh and allow your face to glow. "Baby bangs" are on-trend for 2019 and show no signs of slowing down. Face the world with confidence and style! Keep your tresses shiny for a heavenly halo effect. Check out R+Co's Two Way Mirror Smoothing Oil for a sheer shine.

Fall in love with your hair this fall. As the Michigan skyline brightens with the colors of autumn, it's a great time to bring your Detroit style to life with a new hairstyle for fall that will carry you into the holidays!

In our rush for fashion and style, sometimes we forget the basics. Here's a little refresher so your hair always maintains an A+!
  • Let it Go! Washing your hair daily strips it of its natural oils, aka PROTECTION. Best practice? Shampoo two to three times a week to keep your hair build up free without compromising its health.
  • Long-Distance Relationship. Keep some distance between your hair dryer and your scalp. Six to eight inches is enough for your dryer to be effective without being harmful. Again, maintaining a healthy balance of natural oils is key to hair health.
    ​
  • Use Protection! Unlike blow drying, there are some style tools that have to make contact to make difference. Invest in a proven hair protectant to stave off breakage. Village Parlor recommends R+Co's High Dive Moisture + Shine Crème, which serves duel purpose to protect while blow drying as well.

  • Lighten Up! Sometimes our hair needs to take a load off as much as our minds do. Hair has a tendency to hold onto everything so find a clarifying shampoo that removes chlorine, mineral build up and dulling styling products so you can shine on! R+Co's Oblivion Clarifying Shampoo is safe for all hair types that could use a breath of fresh air.

  • Work Hard, Play Harder. Are you having more fun as a blonde, or do you find it to be more work? Instead of playing catch up, keep it up with a shampoo and conditioner formulated for your special 'do! *Fun Fact: Shampoos and conditioners specially formulated for blonde hair like R+Co's Sunset Blvd Blonde Shampoo and R+Co's Sunset Blvd Blonde Conditioner help keep white and silver hair radiant, too. 
  • Dial it Back. When your hair is losing its luster and no amount of smoothing serum is holding back the fly-aways, its time to get back to the real basics. It's time for a trim. Contrary to popular belief, trims don't really aid in hair growth - not really - but they do keep it looking healthy by nipping spit ends before they make a break for it.
There won't be a pop quiz on this lesson, but your hair may be giving you a test. When you want a study buddy and refresher course, set up an appointment for your Detroit hair dream with Village Parlor-Detroit! You can be the belle of Belle Isle or the fox of Foxtown when you're a Parlor Girl! In the meantime, be sure to check out our Instagram page to stay up-to-date in all that is Michigan beauty.

Natural. Effortless. Flawless. Unrestricted. This is how summer is meant to be, and your summer hair as well. In Detroit, we don't take the warm summer months for granted. We want to relax and enjoy the sun and heat while it is here! For effortless beauty and waves for days, Village Parlor-Detroit is right where you need to be.

Beautifully tousled and wildly unkempt, summer hair don't care! These styles provide volume and texture without excessive use of hot tools in the summer morning. Using a dry shampoo will keep it looking sassy, and not greasy so keep some on hand.
​A great texture shampoo will create sexy, 2nd-day hair with depth and character (Village Parlor loves R+Co's Cactus Texturizing Shampoo). Texturizing shampoo works best when left to air-dry, but can be partially blow-dried with minimal handling to create a tousled look without passing into frizzy territory. 

If blow-drying is a must in your life, check out R+Co's High Dive Moisture + Shine Crème to protect your hair and prevent unwanted fly-aways.

Tousle and tease your way to perfection. Beach waves meet lived-in hair for the best summer has to offer.

You hair stylist can help you find the perfect length and layers to work with your hair to create a fabulously full-bodied style that screams Michigan beauty. Book your appointment with one of Village Parlor's Detroit stylists now and prepare for summer!

Flawless for Fall

Fall is here - sweaters, spice and all things nice. The crisp air is great for picking apples, but not so great for keeping your hair at its peak. A few changes to your hair routine will keep you flawless for fall.
​

Picture
One of the major changes to hit with the changing season is drier air, and that means drier hair. And just like clothes from the dryer, it could mean increased static! Try out R+Co WATERFALL Moisture + Shine Lotion. In addition to intensely moisturized hair, "SERIOUS GAZE" is a scent perfectly fitting for fall with notes of blood orange and rhubarb among other autumn favorites.
Shorter days means less sun, and lighter hair colors may suffer. Give in to richer tones of the season fearlessly with the R+Co GEMSTONE Color Shampoo and Conditioner Set. R+Co GEMSTONE Color Shampoo and Conditioner Set will keep your hair vibrant, event the fall leaves will be jealous!
Picture

Fresh starts are not just for spring. Get ready for the magic of the holiday hair season with a fresh canvas. R+Co ACID WASH ACV Cleansing Rinse clears your hair of the dry shampoos that help keep you on-the-go and the heat protection products used in search of summer's perfect waves. 
Between hats and low humidity, fall is no friend of those who appreciate volume. While some hair trends are leaning towards sleek, others demand volume that would put the hottest DJs to shame. That is where R+Co RODEO STAR Thickening Style Foam comes in to play. Prepare to go big with the only thing sticky being your candy apples!

And for those of you who appreciate the sleek styles of fall, R+Co FOIL Frizz + Static Control Spray gives you the power to fight back. Foil fall's plan to ruin your 'do while staying perfectly on trend with your tresses. So don't be afraid to wear your hats and scarves, R+Co FOIL Frizz + Static Control Spray ​has you covered.

Looking Ahead

Fall is creeping in and it is time to look forward to fall hair trends. Back to school season has some of us looking for new beginnings and fresh style, while fall cider mills opening and pumpkin spice scents have some of us longing for cosy comfort. Well, there is good news for both sides of the part (pun intended).

The Great Divide:

New York Fashion Week Fall 2018 exhibited quite a few hairstyles featuring a middle part. This is good news whether you prefer slick and sleek, or lived-in hair.

To achieve a strong middle part, invest in a fine-tooth comb. R+Co’s TINSEL Smoothing Oil is the perfect match for shiny, frizz-free tresses that showoff your perfect part.

Rest and Relaxation:
NYFW also showed us that there is still plenty of room for relaxed waves to be paired with a more subtle part. Messy buns, bed-head waves, and claw clips (yep, they’re back!) all made appearances. Maybe it’s all the cozy flannel and familiar scents that have us nostalgic for more-comfort, less-fuss hair. Either way, we are ready to tuck in!

R+Co’s AIRCRAFT Pomade Mousse helps you achieve the cosy, lived-in hair look that makes these relaxed styles shine--but not too much.

Fall Colors:
Living in Michigan, we are a bit spoiled when it comes to fall colors. Weekend color road trips and family photo shoots will be on everyone’s calendar. As the temps cool, we’ll see a rise in warm color. Rich caramels and golds, toasty brondes and mulled wine burgundies reflect the beautiful hues of the season.

Just like the fall leaves’ rusty hues, warm browns and reds do not last long. Protect your color with a duo like R+Co’s GEMSTONE Shampoo and Conditioner which preserves and prolongs the life of your irresistible hair color.

The Best Way to Take Care of Blonde Hair

1 Comment

Whether you recently went platinum, golden or honey, it takes some work to get and maintain healthy, vibrant blonde (or blond to some of you ☺️) hair. Your best bet when going blonde is to gradually work your way into a lighter color over time so that you can avoid damage.  Once your desired hair color has been achieved, make sure to keep that light, bright and beautiful look with the proper products and couple of simple tips that will result in picture perfect hair at all times!

​Choose the right shampoo and conditioner
We recommend SUNSET BLVD Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner: where all the sparkly lights shine just that much brighter. By eliminating brassy tones, SUNSET BLVD Shampoo and Conditioner make blondes extra bright and greys fantastically silver. Think of it like Photoshop for your hair.
​
Keep hair hydrated
If you’re not a natural blonde, it generally means your hair is damaged and extremely thirsty. Nourish it daily with a leave in-treatment. 

Protect it from heat
Hot tools are especially threatening to color-treated blonde hair. Minimize the damage from a blow dry or flat iron with heat-protection.

Shield hair from the sun
Hats and scarves are the best immediate defense, but if hair is going to be in direct sunlight, use products with UV filters. 

​Keep it safe from water
Take a dip with confidence. Apply your favorite conditioner before entering a pool or the ocean to create a barrier between your hair and the salt water or chlorine. After you come out of the water, rinse your hair as soon as possible to get rid of residue. 

Whether you are hoping to become a platinum blonde, rooty blonde, proper blonde and more, there is hope! With the right products and some easy to follow tips, you can achieve that long-lasting blonde you've always dreamed of! Contact one of our New York stylists to start your journey to picture perfect hair!
