One more reason to love Rhonda Allison!
Synergy A is an encapsulated vitamin A with reparative stem cells.
Why Britani, our Spa Manager, loves this new Rhonda Allison product:
Increases collagen and elastin

How it works:
Vitamin A: Using a natural form of Vitamin A conserves more energy in the skin, allowing it to function at its full potential while getting results. When the skin is over worked trying to heal itself (using all its energy) it can actually cause premature aging. By using a natural form of Vitamin A, you are also helping heal the skin.
“Retinaldehyde (Vitamin A) is encapsulated to insure superior delivery to dermis. This ingredient assists in stimulation of the fibroblasts, increasing the production of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and additional resources in the skin.”- Rhonda Allison
Stem Cells: Stem cells include just make this new product 1000x better! Stem cells divide and replace lost or dying cells. They also repair the skin when it suffers from injury. One exciting area of research for stem is in treating skin problems, such as wrinkles, capillaries and sun damage.

How to summer proof your hair?
It’s possible to protect your hair AND have fun in the sun at the same time!
Here in north Texas. The sun comes out, windows roll down, and stereo’s get cranked up. It’s that time of year where if you don’t have a pool, you know someone that does; or you try to make a new friend. Dr. Pepper’s are cracked open. It seems to be everyones favorite refreshment, after all it was invented in Texas.
As you load up your pool bag — take a moment to think about how you’re going to protect your hair. Some will just throw it up into a messy bun and go have fun. When the sun goes down, they’ll wonder why their hair is dry, brittle, frizzy (or in the case of color-treated hair, brassy).
While the combination of the sun, heat and humidity alone will wreak enough damage to your fragile hair, adding salt and chlorine is like the cherry on top. The reason for this being, both chlorine and salt water act as a stripping agent which takes away your hairs’ natural moisture. Prolonged lack of moisture in your hair will cause damaging and splitting of the hair.
But, why should you have to sacrifice fun in the sun!? There are simple solutions that you can implement into your daily routine to protect your hair from Summer! Just as your skin needs sunscreen, so does your hair (step away from the SPF 30 and keep reading)! Luckily, Aveda has created what can be described as sunscreen for your hair, only better! The product is called Sun Care Protective Hair Veil and is the first step in summer proofing your hair. Simply shake and mist onto your dry or damp hair before and during sun exposure. The spray acts as a UV-defense layer between your hair and the damaging sun rays.
Now go cannonball! No? You prefer a floatie with a cupholder? That’s cool too. Now that your skin and hair is protected, enjoy your fun in the sun! When you return home, be sure to rinse and shampoo out any chlorine or salt still hanging around with Aveda’s Sun Care Hair and Body Cleanser. Lastly, masque it up with the Sun Care After-Sun Hair Masque made by, you guessed it, Aveda! Now that you’ve protected, cleansed, and added moisture back into your hair, go enjoy your summer!

The Importance In Hydrating Your Hair!
Make sure your hair gets the hydration is needs here at Heath Hair Salon and Spa!
Does everyone need moisture?
Many feel they need to avoid moisture at all costs thinking moisture will make their hair feel heavy and oily. The truth is that everyone does need moisture! The trick is knowing why, when, and how to moisturize.
So to answer why everyone needs moisture simply ask yourself; do you want healthy hair? If the answer was yes then you are a part of the “everyone” that needs moisture in their locks. It doesn’t matter if you have fine hair or coarse hair. Hair is hair, and moisture is key to maintaining its health. Think of it this way; you moisturize your skin daily, soak your face in masks and get monthly facials. Your hair needs as much moisture as your skin. When hair gets dry it is the cause of many of your hair issues. Split ends, brittle frizzing ends, and tangles are all common side effects of dry hair. The ends of your hair, being the oldest hair, need extra moisture.
So now that the why is answered we have come to the when. When should you moisturize your hair? The change of seasons plays a big role in when your hair needs moisture most. The season we all struggle with is upon us. Winter is when the air gets colder and dryer. Our heaters turn on which zap the moisture right out of the air and our hair. This makes winter the prime time to moisturize your hair. Though some of us with coarser or dryer hair need it year round.
Now we come to how to moisturize. Although everyone needs moisture, everyones moisturizing routine will look different. However there are some common rules to follow. Your conditioner (any conditioner) should not regularly be applied to the roots. A good rule of thumb is anything that fits in your ponytail and down is what needs conditioned regularly. Everyone should be using a conditioner! Another routine that would benefit everyone is a leave-in conditioner.
Now that we understand moisture and how it applies to everyone lets break down how it applies more specifically to each hair type. Starting with dry medium to coarse hair. Coarse hair is in constant need of moisture! Your routine should include a hydrating shampoo and conditioner every wash. We love Dry Remedy by Aveda, All Soft Mega by Redken, or Hydrate by Pureology. Next you should be using a leave in conditioner. Hydrate Air Dry Cream by Pureology if air drying or Smooth Perfection’s Smoothing Serum by Pureology. If oil is more for you Dry Remedy’s oil by Aveda will be a great go to!
Now we come to fine hair. If you are scared of moisture you probably have fine hair and haven’t ever found the right moisture products or routine. Fine hair doesn’t need moisture daily. If you are deathly scared of moisture you should use a lightweight leave in conditioner every 4-6 washes or more in the winter. Some great lightweight options would be Nutriplenish by Aveda, Colour Fanatic by Pureology or One United by Redken.
These are some great rules to apply however nothing beats a customized routine prescribed specifically for you! Our stylists are the best hair doctors.
So come on out and get what the doctor ordered!

Benefits of Blue Light Glasses
Start protecting your eyes today with our blue light blocking glasses by Quay!
Have you seen the new trend that is blue light glasses?!
We all went through that childhood phase of wishing we could wear glasses but didn’t have a prescription. Blue light glasses allow us to fulfill this childhood phase as adults with the clear lens look without needing a prescription.
But did you know blue light glasses are more than just a cute new look?
Blue light glasses protect your eyes from the blue light that’s emitted from all the technology we look at throughout our days.
Blue light glasses are even more beneficial for those of us who work with technology all day. Sitting all day staring into a computer screen can leave you unfocused with a pounding headache. Believe it or not it’s not solely because you’re stressed at work but also because of the affects of blue light.
Blue light is on the lower end of the light spectrum; what does this mean? Light that is lower on the spectrum has the shortest wave length meaning they emit more energy. This aggressive wave length scatters in the eye, reducing contrast and making it difficult to focus. After looking into blue light for a period of time this causes eyes to feel tired. It also can cause our eyes to start aching, have blurred vision and headaches.
So that’s the science behind blue light and the reason why blue light blocking glasses are more than just a stylish choice. They bring health and style all at the same time!
Come pick up your blue light blocking glasses now!

Is there really a difference in cheap drug store lipsticks and higher priced lipsticks?
First let's take a look at what benefits women want in lipsticks; long lasting colors, non-bleeding, conditioning, creamy, pleasant or no taste or fragrance.
So just what are the main ingredients necessary to give us this result? Waxes, oils, fats, emollients, paraffin and carnauba wax are the main ingredients to want to look for. Bonus ingredients would be Vitamin E and or aloe vera.
The wax stabilizers help it mold to the container it will be supplied in and preservatives like alcohol and sometimes sunscreens, flavors and fragrance are there for obvious benefits and prolonged shelf life.
The higher the grade of ingredients and the type of processing is important to the consistency, longevity or shelf life and increase the cost. Because it is made in larger batches, it is important for consistent color and smoothness that each dry ingredient be ground very fine and combined with the heated oils slowly stirred and once combined can be poured into cold aluminum molds and chilled until firm enough to put into containers for packaging. The higher priced lipsticks see a more detailed processing providing you the consumer with a better product! While all lipsticks may seem alike, any lip guru would know that just isn't true. Pay more and score yourself a long lasting lip wear that is filled with benefits that will last even longer.
Fun Fact!
Have you heard the claims that woman consumer 4 - 6 pounds of lipstick a year? Lipstick weighs up to ½ an ounce. So to consume 4 pounds a year you would have to eat 118 tubes and that is a lot of lipstick! Moral to this story - wear your lipstick but don't lick your lips and consume it! Seriously though, since we do eat some of our lipstick, this is just another reason why higher quality ingredients are important!
