Adorable Kierra's summer look! 

Her little sis' first cut! Briella!

My girl, Kim has amazing hair! I colored lots of coppers/golds and blondes through out to add depth and warmth to her bleach blonde! She is a babe!

 DEVA CURL! My word- I am obsessed with this line! The best product line I have ever used for curls! Natural ingredients. Enhances curl. Smells heavenly. Doesn't dry out the curl. PERFECT!!!!!!! 

Ginger's ombre! I love how shiny her hair is! I used a color glaze to add lots of gloss!!!!

Kati's new look for summer!!!!!

It is wedding season for me! I hit up Kansas City for my client/friend--- Katlyn's big day!!!!! I brought along Lindsay (old youth student/friend) I was a full circle moment for me, having her along working with me! I remember her dreaming of being a hair stylist in High School and here she is…. rockin' out updos with me! Love you LRT! Best road trip buddy! (pix of us getting Starbux before 15 updos!)

and P.S. KC is the best city ever! I loved everything about it! 

The bride!!!!!!

 I love cutting little kid's hair! This is 4 year old, Josie, it was her first haircut! We washed and styled it! Pampering was a must!

My nephew, Ryder is the best! He is such a good boy when I give him haircuts! 

Some of my lil ladies fashion this week! Rockin' headbands!!! I love dressing them up and allowing them to use their imagination! 

 My client, Megan has an amazing assymetric bob! LOVE

I love Rochelle's hair!  It is amazing how cleaning up the perimeter with 2" off, makes a world of a difference. She has beautiful hair!!!

 I got to chop off some hair this week! We took 5 + off and colored the hair a dark and rich brown with some fun caramel tones to break up the color a bit! It looks stunning!

Meet Ryan Gosling. Ha. Thanks Carl for being such a good sport and allowing me to giving you a new dapper style! Shave and all……….

My sister, Cara let me make her hair over this week! I love the warmth and intensity of a fresh red/voilet! I love how it looks! Shiny. Healthy. Perfect.

Thought I would throw this one in the mix…….. the real life of Christy….. coffee under hood dryer (hairstylist's version of a blow out) :) Pre- working 12 hours……. BLISS. #akwardselfie #reallife

Lock Love Wednesday // Before + Afters

(Above:  I simply twisted my hair into 3 buns and bobby pinned them)

Happy Lock Love Wednesday! Every Wednesday, I share a hair related post with y'all! Being a hairstylist + a mom, I found myself getting in a hair rut. It is so easy to lose inspiration with your daily styling routine! LLW helps me keep my "head in the game"! This week I am sharing with you some Before + Afters! Who doesn't like to see some transformations? I would love to have you join me below by linking up and showing off your hair! Otherwise, follow me on Instagram @talahairlife #locklovewednesday and #locklovewed

  I gave Amy a fresh new look by giving her lots of blonde and caramel. I cut her hair inverted and layered it up quite a bit with texture! She looks lovely! 

 Jaymi wanted to go blonde for this drurry winter! It is looking soooooo good! 

 Sarah is gorgeous! She loves her long hair, as do I! We decided to give it a clean up, by taking the length up 1" or so. I curled her hair with a curl wand! 

 Val has amazing hair! She was all natural in color, so I added in fine foils of caramel and auburn brown! I cleaned up her ends and layered her hair with some choppy layers. 

 My friend, Sylvie has great hair! I gave her a double foil, adding in lots of blonde and some rich brown low lights! She is growing out her hair, so we just gave her a trim to maintain the length! 

 Cute little Zander! I love this little dude! He has the best hair! 

 John was growing out his hair and up for change. I went tight on the sides and talked him to a side part, while rocking this natural texture on top! 

 Joan hadn't colored her hair in 6 months! I did a full foil of caramel and painted the rest of her hair with a rich warm light brown! We shaped her layers and and framed out her face with some soft dimension.

I groomed Brandon's hair and made his curls more patorinate with his length. I think it turned out wonderful.

I got to color my friend's hair for the first time! We wanted to brighten it up and keep it really subtle. I weaved in caramel and strawberry blonde tones to add depth and dimension! I love how it looks sun-kissed.

Hair Remedies for DRY HAIR

Every year, I am blown away at how winter effects our hair and skin! Being a hairstylist, I get asked everyday what to do for dry hair/scalp! Today, I am sharing with you some favs!!!! If you stop in at Tala in the next week, I will give you 10% off any of these products! Just mention this post! 

1. I love detanglers!!!!! I have used a dozen brands over the years but this one is my fav! It feels almost like a conditioner for your hair, without clogging the spray. You simply put it in your hair (mid shaft and ends) after washing it and style as normal! I use it on all kids too! My girls have been using detanglers since they were little babies! Why a detangler? It moisturizes, strengthens, protects from heat and sun, reduces frizz and is a miracle! 

2. It's a 10 hair mask! Heaven! It is amazing how 1-3 minutes of this deep conditioner can change the way your hair looks and feels. I use it once a week! It is great for blonde clients that have really porous hair and my grey haired clients that have the wirey hair. I love it on all hair types!!!! 

3. Moroccan Oil! This has been my favorite all around product for a half of a decade now! I use it my hair the days I wash. One pump through my strands gives it weightless shine! It smells so yummy too. I have clients that use this on their scalp too! It resolves and minimizes dandruff and dry scalp.  I carry the "Light" for my fine haired friends/and blondes! I also, carry the original Moroccan Oil! People, I tell you what….. you will not be disappointed! 

4. Shine Spray for a heat protectant from flat irons/curling irons. It works as a great finishing spray too!

5. Number one thing you can to not have dry hair…….. is NOT wash it every day! So train that scalp with some dry shampoo! Dry shampoo is a perfume for your hair, while absorbing oils and giving you volume! 

6. I am a big fan of Dry conditioners in the winter months! My hair has extra static and needs the shine! I spray it in on my hair every day!!! You apply this on the mid shaft and ends! I used to carry the Rockaholic Conditioner, but it is discontinued! I am loving this one!!!!! 

I would love to hear what your favs are for the winter months! Let's all take care of our hair and step it up a notch ;) 

Dry Conditioner! Holler

Everyone knows that I love dry shampoo! But, have you tried dry conditioner? WOW!? Why not use both? They step up your "day off" days like mucho! I can't get over how I only wash my hair every 3-4 days now! PRAISE! 

Dry Shampoo is for your mid-shaft to ends. 

Think of it as perfume for your hair. 

It gives it shine and texture. 

It dirties up your hair fabulous.

It is great for curly hair! 

I love the Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Conditioner. 

Here is my hair with the product in. I let my hair air dry! After my hair was dry, I curled a few strands with my flat iron and finished by spraying my hair with dry conditioner. It dirtied up my hair wonderfully and gave it the shine and hold that I was looking for. I don't know about you, but my hair is extra dry in the winter months- aka- frizzy and lots of static going on. Scarfs and jackets don't help things- So dry conditioner will be your saving grace!

What do you think? Have you tried this product before? I sell this slice of heaven at Tala for $20! Let me know if you are interested- I will have a 20% off this week if you mention this post!

Happy Tuesday buddies!
