Mimi Armstrong, a modern-day “Girl Friday” hailing from the suburbs of Houston made the bold move to follow her dreams and channel her creative talents in the beauty industry. Having a background in corporate America and the entertainment industry, Mimi has always dabbled in hair. She began in high school as a shampoo assistant at “Headliners Hair Salon”, in Houston, TX, to being the resident hair stylist in her dorm room during her college days at Dillard University. Under the encouragement and advisement of her long time stylist, mentor and owner of Blendz Haircare Studio, Paula Britt, Mimi decided to embark on a new journey. Mimi began working with the Blendz team in June of 2006 as a mentee and apprentice under the advisement of Paula. In January of 2007, Mimi began working as a full time licensed stylist. Mimi left Blendz in July of 2007 to pursue other aspects of the beauty industry bringing her to where she is today. While Mimi enjoys all aspects of hair care, she specializes in custom blend color, cuts, and natural hair press/silk out..

THE IMPORTANCE OF CLIPPING YOUR ENDS

Welcome to your 1st of many posts about hair...men...you may have daughters, mothers, sisters, lovers, wives, baby mommas, boos or girlfriends that you may need to pass some of this information on to so feel free to share the link!

Most people don't like to clip their ends, simply because they perceive this as cutting, however, if you seldom clip your ends...you may need a cut. Clipping your ends is ESSENTIAL in maintaining healthy hair. Frequent use of heat (i.e. curling/flat irons) can damage the ends. Lack of proper conditioning and lack of hydration/moisture at the hair ends may also cause splitting of the ends. When the ends of the hair begin to split, they split up the shaft. This may cause the ends to be be unruly and hard to maintain. Hair that needs to be clipped at the ends WILL NOT CURL and if you are successful in curling the ends, it will give off the appearance of frizzy ends and/or thinning hair.

So....how do we repair split ends and/or prevent it? PROPER CLIPPING OF THE ENDS CAN PREVENT THIS...PROPER CONDITIONING TO THE ENDS OF THE HAIR SHAFT CAN PREVENT THIS...AND DRINKING YOUR DAILY ALLOTMENT OF WATER CAN PREVENT THIS AS WELL. Yes water...if your body stays hydrated, your scalp stays hydrated and less likely to be dry and thus will not break.
