It's Time for School!

Parents it's time to get organized and ready to send the kids back to school. Hooray!!

Here a few tips for smooth sailing into the fall.

Bring your children with you when purchasing school supplies that way they will feel included in the process.

• Take them to the store to pick out a book bag and lunch box.
• Allow your child to pick out a special notebook or folder to bring to school with them.
• Take each child on a special "get ready for school day" by spending the day buying school clothes, supplies. Top the day off by going out to lunch or dinner.

Take your child for a haircut about 2 weeks before school starts.

Start getting into the school routine about 1 week before school starts. This will allow your child to get used to going to bed earlier and make the first days of school a little smoother.

After the kids are back to school treat yourself to a relaxing pedicure and haircut!

Washing and Detangling Kids Hair

Kids hair tends to get tangled easily and it always seem to be a struggle to get the tangles out. Here are a few tips to help detangle your child's hair.

• Use something like Matrix Essentials Alternate Action Clarifying Shampoo once a week in place of your regular shampoo. Alternate Action is a specialized shampoo that will remove build-up that is left by gel and hairspray without stripping the hair's natural oils.

• Use a detangling conditioner after shampooing. Matrix Biolage Detangling Solution works to eliminate static and leaves hair tangle-free.

• While conditioning the hair use a medium tooth comb to work through the hair, rinse the hair fully and then comb the hair again.

• After shampooing and conditioning hair add Biolage Daily Leave-In Tonic to eliminate any tangles that may be left behind and help prevent flyaways.
