Our Picks for the Best Short, Big-Volume Hairstyles
Did you know?  Shorter, piecy hairstyles can amplify the appearance of fuller hair.  We talked to top stylists and scanned the internet to find the latest and greatest of this seasons shorter styles.  Take a look at our favorite picks!

The Pixy

 
This style is an ever-fresh classic, designed to give the look of volume, and always flattering for all face shapes.
Best with naturally straighter hair, this cut features layers that can be easily lifted to add instant fullness.  The use of bangs is playful and feminine, and the short length keeps you cool in the hot summer months.
To style, we recommend a volumizing mousse and touchable hold hairspray.
Avoid sticky or stiff gels and sprays, as well as heavier weight pomades that can weigh hair down.

Short Bob 

This style rocks longer layer lengths, and is often best with a side part. As our celebs demonstrate, angled bangs can be used to frame the face, and shorter layers in the back can give natural volume at the crown a boost.  This style is best when tailored to the angles of your face, accentuating your unique beauty.
To style, we recommend a lightweight volumizing mousse for the crown of the head and a lightweight shine serum for the ends, applied as a last step in the styling process.  To get the most of this style, light heat is ideal to promote smoothness.  Whenever using heat to style the hair, apply a leave-in thermal protectant.
Accessories
 
Whether long or short, sometimes, its not the cut, rather the decoration that can make a summer look sizzle!  Headbands are an easy and effective way to dress up any cut, and an excellent addition to short, medium and longer styles - Enjoy!
Have any summer hair tips to share?
We'd love to know!

Find Out How To Get Great Hair.

KREZINU WORKS
Here's what a few of our first Krezinu users are saying about their results
Susan (Tamarac, FL)  It takes a lot to impress me with hair thickening products as I have worked in the beauty industry 15 years. I am 50 years old trying to grow my hair out. I have had so many comments from co-workers about how long my hair has gotten & how great it looks. Needless to say, I'm impressed! ...
Amoone (New York, NY)  I would HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone having problems with hair growth or balding. It is so easy to use, and when you see what it does for your hair you will feel AMAZING. This product has given me that much more confidence. My hair is beautiful and I'm so proud of it. Thank you!

Alex (Aventura, FL)   I started to notice that my hair was shedding more than normal. My hair line was receding. So I started using this product. It is awesome and easy to use. I don't really use hair products. I don't leave home without this

Mr Dominguez (Coral Gables, FL)  At 65 years old, I had already given up on good hair. I didn't think I could get thick, nice hair. This product is outstanding. I use it everyday. I noticed results within a couple days.

Get Smart: 7 Hair Facts You Should Know

When it comes to getting great hair, Krézinu is here to help.  With formulas designed to enhance the natural hair cycle, your hair and scalp are infused with the best, most natural ingredients for the ultimate health, and beauty of each individual hair strand.   We receive hundreds of questions from around the country each week.  Here are a few of our top picks we thought you would like to know!
Why is strong hair important?
Strong hair is less prone to breakage, and more receptive to style and manageability.  By strengthening your hair, you promote its elasticity, and help your hair to acquire longer length as the hair is healthier with less breakage or splitting.
Does color treating your hair make it thicker?
Color and highlights can help plump your hair strands, and as color gives contrast, also give the illusion of thicker hair due to the depth of color.  Always choose gentle color options fine, brittle or thinning hair.
How much hair is normal to lose on a daily basis?
50-100 hairs per day is normal, which can look like a small amount, or a little more based on the thickness and length of your hair.   Clean your brush daily to monitor normal hair shedding.  Also, look for breakage.  If you are finding shorter pieces of hair in your sink or on your brush, you will want to make sure you have a strengthening regimine in place for your hair.
How do I make my hair shiny again?
Naturally shiny hair is a combination of the health and smoothness of the hair shaft, and natural oils that travel from the scalp to the end of the hair and promote shine.  Place a strand of hair between your thumb and forefinger, and gently and slowly run it down the length of the hair from root to tip.  You will feel the difference between smooth hair, and when the hair becomes rough.  Rough hair is evidence of breakage, which diminishes shine.  Also, if you have a dry scalp, natural oils may not be present to help promote shiny hair.    To correct the issue of non-shine, the most important practices are to keep your hair and scalp healthy.  Choose gentle products high in treatment properties and natural oils.
How do I know if my hair is weak?
Weak hair is defined by hair lacking structural proteins and lipids.  The visible result of this is hair that looks dull, and is prone to breakage.   If you are finding shorter hairs on your clothing, or in the sink, or noticing more hair than usual in your shower drain or brush, these indicate hair that needs strength.
How does dieting affect your hair?
There are many diets that promote fast, aggressive weight loss.  When you are losing more than 5% of your body weight in a short amount of time, this can affect the hair in the form of advanced shedding.  Your body is going through dramatic change, and that process can trip the hair cycle. Once you normalize your weight, your hair will also normalize, and start to grow at its normal rate.  If you know you are going to be dieting, take an excellent multi-vitamin, and try 5000mg of biotin daily to help prevent any change in your hair.
Why should you want healthy looking hair?
A healthy head of hair looks youthful. Shiny, bouncy, smooth hair looks and feels great, and is an amazing compliment to one's beauty.  Chemical processing, diet, daily treatments and lifestyle can affect the health and healthy appearance of your hair, so be mindful of your care routine and ensure your hair is getting what it needs daily (moisture, strength, shine) to look its very best.

At Home Color That Looks Great and Loves Your Hair

There is no doubt - a mane of shiny, full, color-rich hair makes a girl feel great. And especially if you have thinning hair, or hair that appears fragile due to factors such as lifestyle, aging, stress, hormonal changes, medications or chemical processing, the question becomes, what's the best choice for me to get the color I want, without the damage? We combed the aisles of beauty supply, grocery stores and drugstores to share our recommendations for choosing the best color.

The 3 most popular formulas available that are better for your hair are:

Permanent, ammonia-free Demi-Permanent Semi-Permanent Though your individual brand choice may vary, understanding these 3 options is good to know when making your at-home color decision.

1. PERMANENT HAIR COLOR This is the longest lasting form of color, lasting about 6, up to 8 weeks. The advantage is the promise of 100% gray coverage, and the ability to literally change your current hair color. Whether you are trying to recapture your original color, or change it up to something new and fresh, most permanent color kits use a two-step process (usually occurring simultaneously) which first removes the original color of the hair and then deposits a new color. The downside is that this process repeated overtime can cause hair to become brittle and lifeless as potentially harsh-to-your-hair ingredients in these formula's are the chemicals needed to make the change. Good news, many brands are coming out with ammonia-free formula's, which though not eliminating all the ingredients needed to change your color, is on the right track. Recommendation: For 100% gray coverage or to change your color, look for permanent color options that are ammonia-free. Celebrity Stylist Francky L'Official, says “Most ammonia-free color disappears gradually each time you shampoo" which means a more natural look as the color fades. "I personally love working with ammonia-free color because of the shine of the color and the way it makes hair feel.”

 

2.DEMI-PERMANENT HAIR COLOR

This type of color is the "middle" type of hair color lasts about 4 weeks. With demi-permanent, color is simply deposited on top of the hair, and it will cover gray hair much better than semi-permanent hair color. This type of hair color often looks more natural than permanent hair color, because it allows the hair to retain more of its natural color and color variance, starting to gradually fade after about 28 shampoos. It is made with an alkaline agent as well as a developer such as hydrogen peroxide, but in a much lower concentration than permanent hair color. This means that hair is not actually lightened when it is colored with this type of dye, and demi-permanent hair color does not contain ammonia. Recommendation: Choose demi-permanent to compliment your natural hair color or slightly enhance your color, and to naturally blend and cover grays.

3. SEMI-PERMANENT HAIR COLOR

Designed to stay in the hair for six weeks, just like demi-permanent options, the color slightly fades when the hair is washed. Semi-permanent colors contain pigments that coat the outer cortex of the hair, and are mainly used to enhance the natural color of hair and add shine and gloss to the hair. Dull and faded-out, drab hair appears refreshed with a new color tone. Semi-permanent hair color only deepens or lightens the natural hair color, without penetrating the entire hair shaft. Recommendation: Choose semi-permanent if you don't have grays you want to cover, and when you are looking for a pop of color and shiny gloss to enhance your natural shade. Now, it goes without saying that if you are under a doctors care, its always recommended to keep your doctor informed. And if you have general questions, help lines exist for almost every brand on the shelf - you can simply make the call from the aisle and get the answers you need.
