The fishtail braid has been all the rage in fashion recently. Braids in general appear to be popping up all over fall style guides, though the fishtail braid stands out as one of the most popular. Celebrities like Rihanna and Blake Lively have brought the fishtail braid to the red carpet, but the fishtail braid also looks great in a quick, messy style with loose strands omitted from the braid.

So if you are one to be adventurous with your hair and spend a little extra time on it in the morning, then the fishtail braid may be for you.  This style works the best with long hair.

The fishtail braid is done a lot differently than a regular braid and only utilizes two sections of hair rather than three. However, with the right tutorial, you can learn how to become a fishtail pro in no time.

The following article from DivineCaroline.com describes in detail how to create a fishtail braid of your own.

How to Create a Fishtail Braid

Why would you want just any old braid when you can have a fishtail braid? Don’t know how to create a fishtail braid? A quick how-to will fix that. Although fishtail braids look very elegant and complicated, they’re actually quite easy to do.

1. Spritz your hair lightly with water from a spray water bottle (yes, just good old H2O). Make sure you cover all of your hair, but do not get it too wet—just keep it to a light mist. This will make your hair easier to manage.

2. If you want a side braid, brush all of your hair to one side and separate it into two sections. For two side braids, split your hair down the middle, brushing half of it over your left shoulder and half of it over your right shoulder. No matter which style you choose, you’ll always want to separate the hair you’re braiding into two sections, instead of the standard three usually used for braiding.

3. Note: If you want a back braid, you’ll also want to separate your hair into two sections, but you’ll have to do it by feel, which can be kind of hard. You might want to have someone help you in this case.

4. Once you have your hair separated into two sections, you’ll have one section in each hand. Start by letting go of the front section. Use that hand to reach to the back of the front section and bring forward a thin strand of hair. Bring it under the front section and then wrap it over the top of the front section. The size of the strand is up to you—if you use very thin strands (one-quarter inch to one-half inch), you’ll have a different look than if you use thicker strands (about one-half inch to one inch). Have fun and experiment.

5. Grab the strand of hair that you laid over the top of the front section with the index finger of the hand that’s holding the back section. This will keep it in place.

6. Now you want to do the same thing, but in reverse. Re-grab the front section with your free hand and let go of the back section. Now use your free hand to grab a strand of hair from the back of the back section and bring it forward in the same way you did on the other side. Now both strands will be facing the middle (in between the two sections you separated originally). Repeat this process over and over until you have braided almost all of your hair.

7. Seal it off with a small rubber hair band, and you can finally say you know how to create a fishtail braid.

The fishtail braid can be used to create an elegant, sleek look, or can be done loosely to create a casual bed-head appearance. Experiment with different styles and angles of the fishtail braid. You can braid just one section of hair while leaving the rest down, or try a fishtail braid in a high ponytail. The smaller the strands that you use, the more intricate the fishtail braid will appear.

The versatility of the fishtail braid is one reason that it has become so trendy. Whether you have thin hair or thick hair, the fishtail braid looks great on just about anyone with medium to long hair. Consider incorporating fun hues into your braid through hair coloring or chalking.

The fishtail braid can be a little difficult to get the hang of at first, so if you have any trouble, try practicing on a friend.

If you love the fishtail braid look, but can’t quite figure out how to do it yourself, contact us. We would love to style your hair for any special occasion.

“Healthy hair food” is food that individually makes your hair stronger, shinier, and healthier all around. That is why it is important to have a healthy mix of these healthy hair foods in your everyday diet. Good hair days are sure to follow!

The following article from WebMD.com lists the top ten healthy hair foods that you should incorporate into your diet, and how these healthy hair foods work their magic in making your tresses healthier and more beautiful.

Top 10 Foods for Healthy Hair

When it comes to healthy hair, it’s not just what you put on your tresses that count — it’s what you put in your body, too.

Healthy Hair Food No. 1: Salmon When it comes to foods that pack a beauty punch, it’s hard to beat salmon. Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, this high-quality protein source is also filled with vitamin B-12 and iron.

“Essential omega-3 fatty acids are needed to support scalp health,” says Andrea Giancoli, MPH, RD, a dietitian in Los Angeles and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. “A deficiency can result in a dry scalp and thus hair, giving it a dull look.”

Vegetarian? Include one or two tablespoons of ground flaxseed in your daily diet for some plant-based omega-3 fats.

Healthy Hair Food No. 2: Dark Green Vegetables Popeye the Sailor Man didn’t eat all that spinach for healthy hair, but he could have. Spinach, like broccoli and Swiss chard, is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, which your body needs to produce sebum. The oily substance, secreted by your hair follicles, is the body’s natural hair conditioner.

Dark green vegetables also provide iron and calcium.

Healthy Hair Food No. 3: Beans Beans, beans, they’re good for your … hair?

Yes, it’s true. Legumes like kidney beans and lentils should be an important part of your hair-care diet. Not only do they provide plentiful protein to promote hair growth, but ample iron, zinc, and biotin. While rare, biotin deficiencies can result in brittle hair.

Blatner, who is also a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, recommends three or more cups of lentils or beans each week.

Healthy Hair Food No. 4: Nuts Do you go nuts for thick, shiny hair? You should.

Brazil nuts are one of nature’s best sources of selenium, an important mineral for the health of your scalp.

Walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that may help condition your hair. They are also a terrific source of zinc, as are cashews, pecans, and almonds. A zinc deficiency can lead to hair shedding, so make sure nuts are a regular on your healthy hair menu.

Healthy Hair Food No. 5: Poultry Chickens and turkeys may have feathers, but the high-quality protein they provide will help give you the healthy hair you crave.

“Without adequate protein or with low-quality protein, one can experience weak brittle hair, while a profound protein deficiency can result in loss of hair color,” Giancoli tells WebMD.

Poultry also provides iron with a high degree of bioavailability, meaning your body can easily reap its benefits.

Healthy Hair Food No. 6: Eggs When it comes to healthy hair, it doesn’t matter whether you like your eggs scrambled, fried, or over easy. However they’re served up, eggs are one of the best protein sources you can find.

They also contain biotin and vitamin B-12, which are important beauty nutrients.

Healthy Hair Food No. 7: Whole Grains Sink your teeth into hearty whole grains, including whole-wheat bread and fortified whole-grain breakfast cereals, for a hair-healthy dose of zinc, iron, and B vitamins.

A whole-grain snack can also be a great go-to food when your energy is zapped halfway through the afternoon, and you’ve still got hours to go before dinner.

Healthy Hair Food No. 8: Oysters Oysters may be better known for their reputation as an aphrodisiac, but they can also lead to healthy hair — and who doesn’t love that?

The key to their love and hair-boosting abilities is zinc — a powerful antioxidant.

If oysters don’t make a regular appearance on your dinner plate, don’t despair. In addition to getting it from whole grains and nuts, you can also get zinc from beef and lamb.

Healthy Hair Food No. 9: Low-Fat Dairy Products Low-fat dairy products like skim milk and yogurt are great sources of calcium, an important mineral for hair growth. They also contain whey and casein, two high-quality protein sources.

For some healthy hair foods “to-go,” try throwing a yogurt or cottage cheese cup in your bag when you head out in the morning to snack on later in the day. You can even boost their hair benefits by stirring in a couple of tablespoons of ground flaxseeds or walnuts for omega-3 fatty acids and zinc.

Healthy Hair Food No. 10: Carrots Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, which promotes a healthy scalp along with good vision.

Since a healthy scalp is essential for a shiny, well-conditioned head of hair, you’d be wise to include carrots in your diet as snacks or toppings on your salad.

The Big Picture: A Balanced Diet for Healthy Hair When it comes to foods for healthy hair and beauty, variety is the best way to go.

“An overall balanced diet of lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fatty fish like salmon and low-fat dairy will help keep hair healthy,” Giancoli says.

If you’re tempted to drop pounds fast with the latest fad diet, it could leave you with less-than-healthy hair — along with a growling stomach. Low-calorie diets are often low in some of the most important nutrients for healthy hair, including omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamin A. In addition to stunting hair growth and leading to dullness, super-low calorie plans may even cause hair loss.

“Crash diets can affect the hair cycle,” Mirmirani tells WebMD. “Losing a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time can affect that normal hair rhythm. Two to three months later, you might notice a significant increase in shedding. This is a temporary problem that you recover from with a well-rounded diet.”

The biggest takeaway from this article is the final recommendation about how important it is to have a good balance of healthy hair food in your diet. If you plan out your meals to include at least one healthy hair food per meal, you’re more likely to enjoy each and every healthy hair food to the fullest without facing boredom.

Healthy hair food is one way of strengthening your hair and enhancing its beauty. Once you have incorporated a variety of healthy hair foods into your diet, your visits to the salon will will have a doubly powerful effect on your hair’s natural health and beauty. If you have any questions about improving the health of your hair or would like to set up an appointment with us, please contact us.

On July 1, 2012, Untamed Salon and Spa in Auburn, Massachusetts, hosted ‘Cuts for a Cause.’ Haircuts were “cut” down to $15 per cut and one-hundred percent of that money was donated to the Auburn Youth and Family Services.  Those fortunate enough to have hair ten inches or longer, were given the option to donate their hair to Locks of Love, a program which helps create wigs for children suffering from hair loss. In addition, a can and clothing drive was set up to benefit the Auburn Youth and Family Services.

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to all those in the community came out and showed their support. Your generosity has not gone unnoticed and we’re grateful that you could be a part of something so wonderful!

Oh, how we love beach hair! The flawless look that the saltwater provides creates the perfect formula for your hair, allowing it to frame your face.  Therefore, it should come as no surprise that this carefree, beach hair look has been adopted by many stars on the red carpet recently, particularly Kate Hudson. No matter what the occasion, be it a wedding, cookout or a night out, beach hair will have you looking fabulous!

So, what if you want to achieve the beach hair look, but don’t have the time, like Kate Hudson, to go to the beach every day? While there are a few ways to accomplish the beach hair look, one of the healthiest is to use braids. Braids keep hair fresh, cut down on styling products, and create a natural beach hair wave. The following article from DailyGlow demonstrates how to get beach hair at home.

Easy At-Home Beach Hair Waves

Do you love the look of fresh-from-the-beach hair but don’t live near an ocean? You can get beach hair waves at home in under 30 minutes. Here’s my chemical-free, super-easy way to create chunky gentle waves in long hair.

Wet Your Hair

Wash your hair or spritz it with cool water until it gets thoroughly damp. Gently towel blot your hair. Leave it wet but not dripping. Comb through your hair to remove any tangles. Then, grasp hair in a 2-inch by 2-inch section to braid.

Make Several Braids

Divide that section of hair into three equal chunks and braid. Repeat this process with the rest of your hair, respritzing with water as needed. Finish each braid with a tiny hair-friendly rubber band. Try the small, child-size Pack of 500 Small Black Rubber Bands for Styling from Urban Essence, $5.99, amazon.com. They’re so tiny you don’t have to twist them as much as a standard rubber band to keep them secure.

Dry Your Hair

Once your head is covered in several braids, let your hair dry. You’re getting close to having beach hair waves! If you do the braids before bedtime, they will be dry by morning. Or, speed up the process by using your hair dryer on a warm setting. Be sure to blow dry the underside of each braid long enough to penetrate the thickness of the hair.

Unweave the Braids

After your entire head of braid dries, start to unweave the braids. Once each braid is undone, let the beach hair waves air dry for an extra few minutes. Do not brush your hair.

Style Lightly

Use your fingers to gently separate the chunks of hair. Be careful not to tug on the waves. Spray styling gel or hairspray throughout the waves to help the hair keep its form…

With these simple tips, you’ll be rocking the beach hair in no time! Best of all, you’ll be doing it with as little damage to those locks as possible. There are several other ways to get this beach hair look at home, which we’d love to discuss with you. Please give us a call if you have any questions about this method or are wondering which products to use. We’ll gladly make sure your 2012 summer beach hair is up to par!
