Kara Dryer: Hair

Oh what a few inches off can do! Swipe —-> for after!

Why wear long hair if it isn’t healthy long hair? Just taking off a few inches off can add fullness, shape and density to the ends of your hair.

I know you’re scared… just cut it!

Is it time for spring hair yet? ☔️

I love doing wet balayage! Applying lightener to saturated hair helps to dilute the lighter and gives a beautiful, seamless lift and dimension. And…it looks really cool.

Okay! I’m ready for sunshine now ☀️

Change! Everyone that has sat in my chair the last two weeks has been wanting
“just something different”
I get it.
It’s the rumble of the darker season. This is the time where we go inward and do some self reflecting, adjusting, and learning.
Let it happen.

Mocha season!
Aka: Beige Brown, Mushroom Brown
Either way, this is one of my favorite colors to play with🤎

These last few years, I’ve learned a new definition of family, of lineage and what it means to me.
✨It means having people in your life that fill your heart with all the good gooey feelings.
✨It means having people want you around as much as you do want them around.
✨It means holding each other up, when you can’t possible muster up the strength to do it on your own.

I am grateful, so grateful for the family that circles Dani and I. I could not be more filled with the good goo, and be more humbled. Biology doesn’t define family, the heart does.
Mi corazon esta lleno💜

Meet Alexis💜
This bride wanted to try out beaded weft extension before her wedding next year.
Alexis has also beat cancer TWICE! She is now taking an oral chemo to keep the cancer at bay.
What does this mean for her hair? This means, we are working with a compromised immune system and that shows up in the body by thinner or brittle hair, scalp sensitivity. Our top priority is keeping the integrity of her hair follicle. We do this by making sure she has good NATURAL hair products, no crazy, intense hair colors and a healthy diet. Bring on the bone broth! I will say it over and over again, what you eat plays such a big part in not only your body health but your hair and scalp as well.
Alexis is one of many people I have been able to work with that continue to show me how strong the human spirit is💜

ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः
सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः ।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु
मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत् ।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

These are a few of my favorite things…

•Sunrise - it’s quiet, you can feel the calm before the day starts. 🌅

•Morning time- it’s a brand new day a gift and it includes coffee ☕️

•Plants- Okay, really anything the grows! Knowing you took something from seed and helped if grow into something like my basil bouquet!
Our Mother is facinating!🌱

And Dani! I really like her too. 💜

Today, is brand new. Today is a gift.
Today is not yesterday and can make a better tomorrow.
I hope you have a really good day💕

Yesterday, got the FULL treatment plus two rows of 18in extensions!
Just so we are all clear, confidence doesn’ JUST come from good hair. It’s the cherry on top or the start of the race. Either way, I freakin love my job💜

This is my wonderful client and friend Reena.
Reena came to me 5 months post chemo and because of a method called Cold Capping, she was able to keep most of her hair and integrity of the hair follicle.
Needless to say, this girl was ready for a change and to start a new chapter. And that’s exactly what we did💜 So many happy tears.

Some of you know, and all of you are about to find out, a large part of what I do behind the chair is working with wonderful women like Reena. Women that have just been diagnosed, are in the middle of treatments or are post chemo. These warriors are told what next few months will look like in regards to infusions, radiation, and different kinds of treatment. But for most of these women, their first question after diagnosis was, WILL I LOOSE MY HAIR? That’s where I come in!
After years of having the privilege of walking this path with these amazing women, studying and learning the science behind hair and behind chemotherapy and it’s effects on the body. But more importantly, how to counter the effects of hair loss, I’ve decided I need to do more to help.
I want all of this science and knowledge available to more people.

I want to be that person for women.
So I will be.
Stay tuned💜

Comin in hot💜💜💜

My very own mermaid! 🧜‍♀️
always wants a lot of color but little to no maintenance, hence the a half blow out 🤣

But for reals, I really do think she might be a mermaid.
