Things You Should Know about Waxing—brought to you by Josephine’s


Have you been educated on your waxing experience? We can help! Here are a few ways to maximize your comfort ability, and ensure you will have the ultimate waxing experience—both at-home and in-salon.
 
·         Your hair needs to be at least ¼ inches long. Do not shave three weeks before waxing for best results.
·         Be sure to exfoliate the area you will be waxing one day prior, to ensure a nice smooth wax.
·         Never wax right before going to the beach. Always remove hair a few days before you plan on showing a little skin, so that you can take proper action in any irritation occurs. If you tend to get ingrown hairs, Tend Skin is works wonders, and is sold at both Josephine’s locations.
·         Be sure to keep your skin moisturized between waxing. This will decrease hair density, hydrate, and slow growth.

Follow this list of details and your waxing experience will be guaranteed satisfactory.

Four Ways to Tweak Your Ponytail!


Ok, ok, we know school is back in session, and you don’t want to wake up an extra 15 minutes earlier just to straighten or curl your hair—and we don’t blame you, who would!? Josephine’s has four new and exciting ways to tweak that boring ponytail, so you don’t get stuck with the lazy, I-didn’t-want-to-get-out-of-bed look.

Look One: The Weave Ponytail

You simply weave your hair around the base, sort of like a braid, only—not.

Look Two: The Wrap Ponytail
 
Just wrap your hair around the base; several inches passed the elastic band. Hold this in place with a bobby pin, and spray with Aveda’s Control Force for extra hold.
Look Three: The Wrap & Bump Ponytail



One of our personal favorites! As difficult as this looks—all you have to do is wrap your hair around the base, and secure your hair with a second elastic band, three inches down your ponytail. Tug at the bottom of the ponytail to bump it up!
Look Four: The Twisted Ponytail

We love this look, and it’s a lot easier than The Weave! (haha) First, twist your hair into a traditional French Roll, and then secure it at the nape of your neck with a few bobby pins.

Which look is your favorite? More importantly, which one do you plan of trying first?!
