Yoga for Your Hair




Okay, I know, I'm a yoga teacher so the last thing I should be worried about is frizzy hair. I should be able to drop my Ego, and know its no big deal to have unruly locks that frizz at the slightest hint of humidity. That I should be okay with unmanageable hair that has a mind of its own , and let my inner light shine. But instead, I have spent years of my life trying to coax my hair into laying straight and smooth. I have spent hundreds of dollars on the newest products and tools, only to have it frizz up as soon as I stepped out into the steamy Charleston summer day. But then I found the Keratin Complex, and it changed my life. Yea, I know, it sounds shallow, and I'm okay with that. Yoga has changed my life too, in countless amazing ways! And I am thrilled that I no longer have to leave a heated yoga class with frizzy hair, and I have added hours back to my life now that I no longer have to blow out, flat iron and straighten my hair! That leaves me more time to practice, to relax and enjoy life. Keratin is kind of like yoga for your hair!

Keratin Complex is an All Natural treatment that will straighten and de-frizz your hair without damaging it or chemically altering the texture. Keratin is the natural protein found in your hair, skin and nails. Frizzy hair girls like me have less Keratin, than those blessed with sleek, straight hair. The Keratin is brushed on to your hair and left in while it is blown straight and flat ironed. The process takes 2-3 hours, depending on hair length and volume and you have to leave it in for 72 hours before washing. Avoid sweating, getting it wet or pulling it back during that time period. A pain, I know ( I have to take 3 days off work!) but it is SO WORTH it!! Your hair will be super straight and flat for those 72 hours, but once you wash it (preferably with Keratin Complex Shampoo and Conditioner), you will be amazed at how quickly you can dry it and how silky, shiny and smooth your locks have become. You can let it air dry and still have some wave, but the frizz is gone! I finger dry mine with a blow dryer for about 8 mins (compared to the 30 it used to take me before I flat ironed it) and it is smooth and sleek with no hassle! The treatments last 3-5 months, depending on what products your use and if you spend a lot of time in the pool.
I know the big question is... how much does it cost? Bigger salons charge upwards of $300,which I understand, their overhead is high, the product is expensive and it takes a lot of time. But that's a little out out of my price range. However, James, my other half, has finally made the move from the Outer Banks to Folly Beach (yay!) and his prices start at $200 (slightly more for longer/thicker hair). BUT for anyone with a Charleston Power Yoga key tag, he will take $25 off your first treatment! A little bonus for those of you have supported us this past year:) He can even come to your house if that works better with your schedule, just add $25 to the price of your service.

Come by CPY and check out my silky, smooth locks and sweat out those toxins from all the fun summer parties you've been invited to! Make your appointment today for your Keratin treatment and see what all of the fuss is about! You will wonder what took you so long! Call me at 843-513-3400 to set up a time for you before he is all booked up!
