Back To School Essentials

Summer is coming to an end faster than we would like to admit. That means it's time for back-to-school shopping and preparing to get your study on. Here are some of our back-to-school essentials you need to pick up! 
Let’s start off with some body care! Hempz travel size lotions are an excellent choice to keep your skin moisturized, especially when the weather changes and that dry air sets in.  With several different scents available, including seasonal favourites, you’re sure to find one that’s just right for you. The Hempz Original is a favourite for sure. I also love Hempz Lip Balm. We can barely keep this fan favourite on the shelves in our salons, so when you see it, be sure to grab one! Or maybe two!  

If you’re active and need a pick-me-up after gym class, these products are definitely a must. DESIGNME QUICKIE.ME Dry Shampoo comes in two tones: one for light hair and one for dark hair. Spray it in before you get your sweat on to make sure all those oils are absorbed to keep your hair feeling fresh. Once gym is over, give your hair a quick brush with the Wet Brush Go Green Mini Detangler. This brush is also perfect for younger kids; they can pop one in their backpack and give their hair a brush during the day to help fight those tangles. Having a leave-in conditioner is another must, to keep hair tangle-free. My top faves are Unite 7Seconds Detangler and It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product.  

With the seasons changing, another great leave to add to your backpack is a dry oil spray! This will help keep your ends smooth and frizz free without the mess of a liquid oil left over on your hands. My favourite is the Redken Spray Smooth dry oil spray. It eliminates static and frizz leaving your hair with a shiny finish! It’s a must have for winter! 

Lastly, let’s talk about hair accessory essentials! Claw clips, like these ones from Framar, are the hottest accessory this season. They’re a stylish way to keep your hair out of your face or a quick fix to get that hair off your neck during a stressful exam. Claw clips are great for any hair type and super comfortable to wear, whether it’s for a few minutes or all day long.  

Don’t forget to you book your appointment today for a fresh cut and colour to start off the new school year in style! Think about adding on a treatment with your service as well. I’d highly recommend the Redken ABC Treatment to restore moisture after all the summer heat and sun, and if you’re getting a colour, add on an Olaplex Treatment to help repair your hair and get it looking healthy for fall.
