Elite Hair Lounge’s ethos is all about helping you achieve healthy, gorgeous hair that’ll leave everyone in awe. Here’s your ultimate guide to getting your hair date-ready this Valentine’s Day.
Prep Your Hair for the Perfect Style
Healthy hair starts with proper preparation. Follow these simple steps to ensure your locks are ready to shine:
1. Hydrate and Nourish: Treat your hair to a deep conditioning treatment to lock in moisture and add shine. We offer an extensive range of hydration treatments that are designed to repair and nourish your hair, leaving it silky and smooth. (keep reading to see our list of treatments below).
2. Clarify and Detox: Build-up from styling products can weigh your hair down. Opt for a clarifying shampoo to cleanse your scalp and strands, prepping them for flawless styling.
3. Protect Your Hair: Before any heat styling, don’t forget a thermal protectant. We recommend Bumble and Bumble’s Heat Shield Thermal Protection Mist, available in-salon.
