You know that weird, dusty gunk that builds up in your hairbrush over time? I used to think I literally had dandruff. Well, that is not a sign to toss your brush in the trash. It just means it's due for a thorough cleaning (something I never bothered to do—seriously, not even once). And no, I'm not just talking about grabbing all the loose hairs out of your brush. I'm talking about giving your brush a proper shampoo, soak, and scrub until it's practically good as new.  I mean you clean your makeup brushes and sponges every week or so to remove bacteria and dirt (hopefully..please do it ..read more

Water is good for you, but not always as good for your hair. Water is rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium which is great for your body, BUT not your hair. Especially when it is already damaged, calcium collects within the hair fiber making it weaker and/or more dull. So... JUMPSCARE every time we wash our hair at home we’re basically causing more damage. Even if you had the world's best filtration system calcium will still get through because it is microscopic. That’s why this line is so epic, everyone will benefit from using it!  It repairs all types of damage- chemical and ..read more

There’s some debate about whether or not getting your hair trimmed to make it grow is beneficial or not. So let's talk about it. Here are 3 points as to why I, as a hairstylist, thinks trims are helpful when it comes to growing stronger, healthier hair. First off, your hair grows ON AVERAGE, 1/2 an inch every month. I put on average in caps because not everyone’s hair grows at the same rate. So if your hair grows slowly you may get a quarter of an inch a month and if it grows quickly you may see more than a half an inch etc. Part of the debate I’ve been hearing is that when you go to the salo ..read more

When it comes to hair care, we all wish we could wake up with that “just stepped out of the salon” look everyday. Unfortunately for most of us, a day or two later our hair begins to feel oily and we’re forced to wash it. While there are obviously benefits to washing your hair, washing too often can cause scalp dryness and more breakage since hair is most fragile when it’s wet, as well as an increased production of natural oils called sebum from the scalp. To combat the overproduction of sebum, The Genesis stylists recommend oil training your scalp by slowly decreasing the frequency of hair was ..read more
