Celebrity Hair Stylist Leslie Correa-5 Tips For Fabulous Hair

Leslie and his client Ryan Phillippe

I told you girls on Monday that I recently received waist length hair extensions at C'apelli D'oro Salon in NYC. Celebrity hairstylist Leslie Correa, the owner and the man who did my hair, had such a wealth of knowledge when it came to hair. And we shared many of the same beliefs, like he loves Coconut oil for hair. He's been doing hair for over 30 years. So I asked him to share 5 Tips on How We Can All Get Fabulous Hair! His hair is fabulous!

1) Brush your hair with a paddle brush, before you shampoo to distribute the oils and stimulate your scalp. This will promote hair growth & impart shine.

2)Go to your stylist for regular trims every 6 weeks to prevent split ends. Even if your letting your hair grow. Hair grows about 6 inches a year. If you cut 1/4 inch every 6 weeks you'll end up with 3 inches of healthy hair rather than 6 inches of dry brittle hair.

3)Deep condition your hair from mid shaft to ends (never on the roots) using Olive oil or coconut oil once every 2 weeks. Your hair will absorb the lipids from the oils and it will shine like glass.

4)Beware of over conditioning your hair. Especially close to the scalp. It can make your hair fall out. Hairdressers train clients to condition in order to detangle the hair but too much conditioner can make your hair fall out in clumps. It's better to condition from mid shaft to ends or not at all. Check your drain & see if it makes a difference.

5) Another cause for hair loss is combing when the hair is wet. Start to detangle your hair with your fingers when its wet and brush your hair with a paddle brush only after it dries a little.

Thanks Leslie, 

FYI: I'll be reviewing the hair extensions Monday. I want to have them on a little longer before I can write a review.
