Summer Hair Cocktails

Everyone love a good cocktail on a warm summer day [ virgin or non virgin ]
Our hair love cocktails too! Here are some of our summer favorites

Bumble and Bumble :

Grooming cream + Surf Spray + City Swept

Start off with putting a little grooming cream in damp towel dried hair.

Defuse the hair or hair dry to keep most of your hairs natural texture

Spray in some surf spray once dry and scrunch the hair. This will give your hair that gritty salt water feel.

Finish it off with a mist of Cityswept

Texture Cream + pret-a-powder + Does it all

Put some texture cream in damp towel dry hair, then braid it in thick big sections

After you let it dry undo the braids and apply Pret-A-Powder at the root.

Finish it off with a light layer of does it all just to tame any fly away hairs.

For curly girls

Calming Curl Conscious cream + Surf spray + City swept

Same as the above cocktail but rather then using the grooming cream try the calming cream made for curly hair !

This will help control and provide a little more hold in your curl.

Apply to damp hair then twist in the medium size sections.

Defuse or air dry then break it up and spray in some surf spray. Finish off with Cityswept.

We just cant get enough of Bumble and Bumbles new…CITYSWEPT

CITYSWEPT is the new product by Bumble and Bumble that everyone can’t get enough of.

This finishing spray gives you just the perfect amount of grit to freshly washed hair.

Fine hair types will love the easy, lived in look with out a heavy feel.

Curly, coarse hair types will love its control, separation and anti-fluff factor.

Some hair cocktails you will love using in Cityswept:

For a more polished grunge look, apply Thickening Full Form Mousse to damp hair concentrating on the roots. After you blowdry with a round brush go through and curl your hair using a 1 inch curling iron. Spray Cirtyswept Finishing spray by lifting the hair and allowing it to fall in the mist. Then WALA!

For a city edge look spray the Thickening Hairspray on damp hair. Blowdry the hair straight and misst the Cityswept onto your hands. Massage through dry, styled hair concentrating on the underside and ends.

RAW Awards behind the scenes

In January Salon Pure hosted the green room to all the models and designers for the Fashion shows at the RAW Awards.

Stylist Cara Hartley, Jen D’Agostino and Sofia Camacho busted out some awesome styles ! Here is a look behind the scenes !

TIP OF THE DAY: BUMBLE & BUMBLE BRILLIANTINE

What: Brilliantine is a product used to add polish and a tiny bit of texture.

Who Can Use It: Brilliantine is a great product for ANYONE, male or female, who wants an unrefined look.

When To Use It: Use Brilliantine as a finish product, after your hair has dried.

Cara Hartley Did It First!

Back in December 2011, Cara Hartley came up with the idea to color her hair in a purple ombre color. Katy Perry must have been inspired by Cara and debuted a similar look for Coachella!
