At Fluff, something that’s been frequently requested in recent months, primarily during extentions consultations, is… you guessed it… Mermaid hair! Along with some of our adventurous and on trend ‘Fluffers’, have you also caught yourself daydreaming about long, flowing locks that appear to have sprung straight from a fairy tale or the depths of the ocean? If so, welcome to the mesmerizing world of mermaid hair – a vibrant, whimsical hair trend that’s causing quite the splash in the beauty realm! Particularly enticing, in my opinion, is the allure of curly wave hair, a stunning option that adds an extra layer of volume and ‘vivacity’, to the mix. While I’m not quite ready to ‘take the plunge’ myself, I personally adore this look and it’s just too much fun to create!

What is Mermaid Hair?

Mermaid hair, in all its glorious forms, is characterized by its length, volume, and often a blend of fantastical colors. It’s the kind of hair that doesn’t just turn heads, but stops people in their tracks. It’s a style statement that speaks volumes, whispering “I’m here, and I’m fabulous!” to all graced to be in your presence.

Curly Wave Mermaid Hair: A Special Kind of Magic

When you add a curly wave to mermaid hair, you get something truly enchanting. The curls add volume and texture, making the hair look even fuller and more vibrant. It’s the perfect choice for those wanting to make an even bigger splash with their hair transformation.

How Do Hair Extensions Help Achieve Mermaid Hair?

Here’s the secret – achieving mermaid hair, curly wave or otherwise, is not as elusive as it seems. Our hair extension experts at Fluff are well-versed in the art of hair transformations. With the addition of length, volume, and even splashes of color, hair extensions are your magic carpet to the world of mermaid hair.

Types of Hair Extensions at Fluff

At Fluff, we don’t just believe in variety, we celebrate it! Though we specialize in classical looks and ‘lived-in’ beauty, we offer a broad spectrum of hair extensions, from sew-ins (our speciality) to clip-ins for temporary transformations. Each type has its unique benefits and can be the perfect tool for your desired look, especially when it comes to achieving voluminous, curly wave mermaid hair.

How to Care for Your Curly Wave Mermaid Hair Extensions

Like any magical creature, mermaid hair – and especially the curly wave variety – requires a touch of extra love and care. We’ll guide you through the process of maintaining your hair extensions, from choosing the right hair products, styling tools (since you’re going to need a special hot tool to create the mermaid texture), to styling tips, ensuring your curly wave mermaid hair keeps making waves wherever you go.

Color correction is the process of adjusting or fixing hair color mishaps, whether it’s due to uneven application, an undesirable shade, or hair damage caused by the coloring process. With the right techniques and products, skilled colorists can work their magic to restore your hair’s health and appearance.

When Do You Need Color Correction?

Color correction may be necessary if you experience any of the following:

Step 2: Color Removal or Adjustment

Depending on your specific hair situation, our colorists may use a color remover or adjust the existing color to create an even base for the next steps. This process may involve multiple applications, depending on the severity of the color mishap.

Step 3: Targeted Treatments

Our colorists prioritize hair health throughout the correction process. Targeted treatments, such as Olaplex, are used to restore damaged hair and ensure optimal condition for further color processing.

Step 4: Application of Desired Color

Once your hair is prepped and ready, our colorists apply the desired color, whether it’s a beautiful balayage, a stunning single-process color, or a vibrant fashion shade. We utilize the latest techniques and high-quality products to achieve long-lasting, stunning results.

The Power of Hair Masks: Revitalize Your Locks with Deep Conditioning Treatments

Hey there Fluff fans and fellow hair enthusiasts! Have you ever wished for a magic potion to transform your tresses into the luscious, healthy locks of your dreams? Well, look no further! Hair masks are your secret weapon for fabulous hair, and today, we’ll explore the wonders of deep conditioning treatments at Fluff Color and Balayage Salon and our exclusive Extensions Studio by Fluff.

Why Your Hair Needs a Mask

Think of hair masks as a spa day for your locks. They’re packed with nourishing ingredients that work to repair, moisturize, and strengthen your hair. Some of the benefits of using hair masks include:

• Repairing damage from heat styling and chemical treatments
• Reducing frizz and flyaways
• Adding moisture to dry, thirsty strands
• Improving hair elasticity and strength

With regular use, hair masks can help you achieve softer, smoother, and healthier-looking hair! And yes, hair masks can also be beneficial for extensions, as long as you choose a mask specifically designed for extension care or one that is gentle enough for use on extensions.

Choosing the Right Hair Mask for You and Your Hair if You Have Extensions

When it comes to hair masks, it’s essential to choose the right one for your hair type, concerns, and, if applicable, your extensions. Here are some tips to help you find the perfect mask:

• Identify your hair type and main concerns (e.g., dryness, damage, hair growth)
• Look for masks with ingredients that target your specific needs
• If you have extensions, opt for a mask specifically designed for extension care or one that is gentle enough for use on extensions
• Follow the instructions on the product, paying attention to the recommended application time
• Use hair masks regularly, at least once a week or as needed, for the best results

Hair Masks We Love at Fluff Color and Balayage Salon and Extensions Studio

Our professional stylists at Fluff Color and Balayage Salon and Extensions Studio by Fluff can also help you choose the ideal hair mask for your unique hair needs and extensions!

Exploring the World of Hair Gloss: Enhance Your Hair Color with Shine and Depth

Let’s dive into the magical world of hair gloss and learn how it can give your locks a stunning boost at Fluff Bar – Denver Color and Balayage Hair Salon.

Shine On: The Wonders of Hair Gloss

So, what’s the deal with hair gloss? This fabulous treatment is a semi-permanent solution that adds shine and depth to your hair, whether it’s natural or color-treated. It works by coating the hair shaft, filling in any damaged spots and creating a smooth, light-reflecting surface. The result? A gorgeous, glossy finish that’ll have heads turning wherever you go!

It’s Not Just for Color-Treated Hair!

While hair gloss can work wonders for color-treated hair, it’s also fantastic for natural hair! If your locks are looking a little dull, a gloss treatment can add some much-needed life and vibrancy. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for anyone who wants to enhance their natural color without making a dramatic change.

Find Your Perfect Gloss at Fluff Bar – Denver Color and Balayage Hair Salon

We’ll assess your hair type, color, and condition to recommend a customized gloss that will bring out the best in your locks.

Keep Your Gloss Going Strong

Want to make sure your hair stays glossy and fabulous for as long as possible? Here are a few tips to help you maintain that gorgeous shine:

• Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to keep your gloss treatment intact.
• Limit your use of heat-styling tools, which can cause damage and dullness.
• Protect your hair from the sun by wearing a hat or using UV-protective hair products.
• Consider getting a gloss treatment every 6-8 weeks to maintain that fresh, vibrant look.

Embracing Natural Beauty: Fluff’s Top Tips for Enhancing Your Hair and Skin Without Chemicals

Hey there, gorgeous! Are you ready to show off your natural beauty and embrace a chemical-free lifestyle? Well, get ready, because today we are bringing you some fun and festive tips for enhancing your hair and skin without using harsh chemicals. So, let’s dive into the world of eco-friendly and healthy beauty practices that will have you glowing from the inside out!

Why Go Natural? The Benefits of Embracing Your Natural Beauty

First things first – why should we even consider going au naturel? Here are a few reasons to let your natural beauty shine:

• Healthier hair and skin: Ditching chemicals can lead to healthier, happier hair and skin. You might notice improved texture, reduced breakage, and a gorgeous, natural glow.
• Save time and money: Embracing your natural beauty can save you time and money spent on salon treatments and expensive beauty products. More cash for those spontaneous shopping sprees? Yes, please!
• Eco-friendly: By opting for natural products and treatments, you’re contributing to a healthier planet. Mother Earth will definitely thank you!

Top Tips for Enhancing Your Hair and Skin Naturally

Ready to get your natural beauty on? Check out these fantastic tips for maintaining healthy hair and skin without relying on chemicals:

For Your Hair

• Be gentle: Treat your hair with care – avoid excessive brushing and use a wide-toothed comb to detangle.
• Trim regularly: Keep your hair looking fresh and healthy by getting regular trims to eliminate split ends.
• Go sulfate-free: Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to cleanse your hair without stripping it of its natural oils.
• Embrace natural oils: Treat your hair to natural oils like coconut, argan, or jojoba for a nourishing and hydrating boost.
• Air dry: Whenever possible, let your hair air dry instead of using heat-styling tools. Your locks will thank you!

For Your Skin

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin looking plump and radiant. Bonus: It’s great for your overall health, too!
• Exfoliate gently: Use a gentle exfoliator or a natural scrub made from sugar or oats to remove dead skin cells and reveal a fresh, glowing complexion.
• Moisturize with natural ingredients: Opt for moisturizers containing natural ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter, or cocoa butter for healthy, hydrated skin.
• Protect from the sun: Don’t forget to wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. There are natural, mineral-based sunscreens available that are both eco-friendly and effective.
• Get your beauty sleep: Prioritize sleep to give your skin a chance to repair and rejuvenate itself. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality shut-eye each night.

DIY Treatments and Natural Products to Try

Now that you’re armed with our top tips, why not try your hand at some DIY treatments and natural products? Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• DIY hair mask: Mix equal parts honey and coconut oil for a hydrating hair mask. Apply to your hair, leave on for 20-30 minutes, and then rinse for softer, shinier locks.
• DIY face mask: Mash up half an avocado and mix it with a tablespoon of honey for a nourishing face mask. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse with warm water.
• Natural shampoo bars: Swap your liquid shampoo for a solid shampoo bar made with natural ingredients. They’re eco-friendly, long-lasting, and great for your hair!
• Organic skincare: Look for skincare products made with organic, natural ingredients that are free of harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances. Much of the time I only use organic pure coconut oil or rosehip oil on my skin… or a new skin care line specializing in natural organics called Senesia, but more on that in another post!

With the rise of remote work, Zoom calls have become the new normal for meetings and catch-ups. But let’s be honest, looking fabulous on camera can be a bit of a challenge, especially when your bed is just a few steps away. That’s why Fluff is here with a fun guide to help you look your best on your next Zoom call – all from the comfort of your own home!

Set the Stage: Lighting and Background

Before we dive into hair and beauty tips, let’s address the basics: lighting and background. Good lighting can make all the difference in how you appear on camera. Natural light is your best friend – set up your workspace near a window for soft, flattering light. If natural light isn’t available, try using a desk lamp or a ring light to brighten up your face.

As for your background, keep it clean and clutter-free. A tidy space not only looks more professional but also helps you stay focused during your call.

Zoom-Ready Hair: Quick and Stylish Ideas

Now, onto the main event – your fabulous hair! Here are some quick and stylish ideas to get Zoom-ready in no time:

• Messy bun: This effortless updo is perfect for those mornings when you’re short on time. Just pull your hair into a high ponytail, twist it into a bun, and secure with a hair tie or bobby pins.
• Half-up, half-down: This versatile style works for both short and long hair. Simply gather the top section of your hair and secure it with a hair tie or clip, leaving the rest of your hair down.
• Beachy waves: Use a curling wand or straightener to create loose waves for a laid-back, yet polished look.
• Accessorize: Dress up your hair with cute headbands, scarves, or hair clips for a pop of color and personality.

Makeup Tips: Look Fresh and Awake

When it comes to Zoom makeup, less is more. The goal is to look fresh and awake – not like you just rolled out of bed (even if you did!). Here are some simple makeup tips for a flawless Zoom appearance:

• Conceal and brighten: Use concealer to hide any dark circles or blemishes, and apply a light layer of foundation or tinted moisturizer for an even complexion.
• Define your brows: Groom your eyebrows with a spoolie brush and fill in any sparse areas with a brow pencil or powder.
• Enhance your eyes: Apply a neutral eyeshadow to your lids, curl your lashes, and add a coat of mascara to make your eyes pop. You can also use a white or nude eyeliner on your lower waterline to look more awake.
• Add a flush of color: A subtle blush on the apples of your cheeks can instantly brighten your face. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone for a natural-looking glow.
• Keep lips simple: Opt for a tinted lip balm or a neutral lipstick to keep your lips looking soft and hydrated.

Dress for Success: Comfortable and Professional

While it may be tempting to stay in your pajamas all day, dressing up for your Zoom call can boost your confidence and help you feel more put-together. Opt for comfortable, professional clothing in solid colors or simple patterns. Avoid busy prints and bright colors, as they can be distracting on camera.

Practice Good Posture: Sit Tall and Confident

Finally, don’t forget about your posture! Sitting up straight with your shoulders back not only makes you look more confident and engaged, but it also helps you feel better during long Zoom sessions. Adjust your chair and computer setup to ensure your camera is at eye level, and avoid slouching or hunching over your screen.

Shine Bright and Glamorous on Your Next Zoom Call with Fluff!

Hopefully with Fluff’s guide to looking your best on your next Zoom call, you’ll be ready to rock those virtual meetings with confidence and style. Remember, a little effort goes a long way – take a few minutes to prep your hair, makeup, and outfit, and you’ll feel like the superstar you are, even if you’re working from home!

Need some extra help with your hair or beauty routine? Book an appointment at Fluff, and let our team of experts help you look and feel your best, both on and off the screen.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the perfect haircut can truly make anyone feel fabulous! At Fluff, Denver’s luxury Cut, Color, and Extensions Salon, we know that the secret to looking and feeling your best is finding a haircut that complements your unique face shape. In this fun and light-hearted guide, we’ll help you identify your face shape and find the perfect haircut to accentuate your features. So, let’s take a dive into the wonderful world of face shapes and haircuts! While us hairstylists might learn this in beauty school, it’s often overlooked, as you may have noticed at your last bad haircut (not at Fluff of course!).

Step 1: Identify Your Face Shape

Before we can embark on our haircut journey, it’s essential to determine your face shape. To do this, grab a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and follow these simple steps:

1. Measure your forehead: Measure the width of your forehead at its widest point (usually halfway between your eyebrows and hairline).
2. Measure your cheekbones: Measure the distance across your face from the outer corner of one eye to the outer corner of the other eye.
3. Measure your jawline: Measure from the tip of your chin to the point where your jawline begins to angle upwards, then multiply by two.
4. Measure your face length: Measure from the center of your hairline to the tip of your chin.

Now that you have your measurements, compare them to the descriptions below to determine your face shape:

• Oval: Face length is greater than the width of the cheekbones, forehead is wider than the jawline, and the angle of the jaw is rounded.
• Round: Cheekbones and face length have a similar measurement, with a smaller forehead and jawline, and the angle of the jaw is soft.
• Square: All measurements are fairly similar, and the angle of the jaw is sharp.
• Heart: Forehead measures greater than the jawline and cheekbones, chin is pointed, and the face shape resembles an inverted triangle.

Still unsure? Don’t worry; our expert stylists at Fluff can help you determine your face shape during your consultation. Now, let’s get to the fun part: finding your perfect haircut!

Step 2: Choose the Perfect Haircut for Your Face Shape

Armed with the knowledge of your face shape, it’s time to explore the best haircut options to enhance your features and make you look stunning:

Oval Face Shape

Congratulations, oval-faced friends! You’ve hit the haircut jackpot, as most hairstyles will flatter your face shape. However, there are a few standout styles that’ll accentuate your features even more:

• Long layers: Add dimension and movement to your hair without overwhelming your face.
• Shoulder-length bobs: These chic and versatile cuts frame your face beautifully and draw attention to your cheekbones.
• Textured lobs: A slightly longer bob with texture adds interest and highlights your jawline.

Pro tip: Avoid heavy bangs, as they may make your face appear shorter.

Round Face Shape

For our round-faced beauties, the goal is to elongate your face and create the illusion of angles. Here are some fabulous haircuts to try:

• Long layers with side-swept bangs: This style adds length to your face and softens the roundness.
• Asymmetrical bobs: This edgy cut adds angles to your face, giving it a more defined appearance.
• Long, straight styles: Sleek, straight hair can create the illusion of a longer face.

Pro tip: Avoid short, curly styles or chin-length bobs, as they can emphasize the roundness of your face.

Square Face Shape

For those with a square face shape, the goal is to soften the strong jawline and create a more balanced appearance. Check out these winning haircuts:

• Long, wavy layers: Soft waves add movement and help to soften angular features.
• Side-parted styles: A deep side part adds asymmetry, creating a more dynamic look.
• Curly or wavy bobs: These styles add volume around the face, making your jawline appear more delicate.

Pro tip: Avoid blunt bangs or one-length cuts, as they can make your face appear boxier.

Heart Face Shape

For heart-shaped faces, the aim is to balance the wider forehead with the narrower chin. Here are some gorgeous haircuts that’ll do just that:

• Long, side-swept bangs: These bangs draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones, while balancing the width of your forehead.
• Lobs with face-framing layers: This cut adds fullness around your jawline, creating a more balanced appearance.
• Long, wavy styles: Soft waves add volume and width around the lower part of your face.

Pro tip: Avoid short, heavy bangs, as they can make your forehead appear even wider.

Step 3: Visit Fluff, Denver’s Luxury Cut, Color, and Extensions Salon

Now that you’ve got a better idea of the perfect haircut for your face shape, it’s time to visit Fluff, Denver’s luxury Cut, Color, and Extensions Salon. Our expert stylists will help you refine your chosen style and create a stunning look that enhances your features and leaves you feeling fabulous. Let’s discuss your face shape at your consultation and create a game plan for a cute look that’s flattering on you!
