Sticking to your wellness habits while maintaining your beauty goals can be challenging. Instead of skipping your workout or a good hair day, we’ve got a must-have tool to refresh your hair after the gym. The Sam Villa Pro Results Cordless Flat Iron solves all your apres gym issues with a compact travel flat iron that charges via USB, which means it can be used anywhere. Stay in the locker room or touch up in the car — the Sam Villa Cordless Flat Iron is 8.5” long with a plate length of 3” – tiny! It can charge in the car or at work via computer before the gym, so it’s always ready!  And the best part is, unlike most other irons that only deliver 20 minutes charge, it delivers a fabulous full 45 minutes of styling time, enough to actually do an entire head of waves, beautiful bouncy curls or super sleek liquid hair.

Is your client looking for a change without sacrificing length? Ghost layers might be the perfect answer to add movement texture while keeping a lengthy silhouette. To understand the technique more, Becka Bradshaw, Sam Villa Ambassador @beckabradshaw, explains how she created a fresh look for her guest, Rachel. In addition to ghost layers, Becka chose to dry cut the hair for a more collaborative experience. “Rachel was looking for a shape that moved with her, something that felt fresh and less weighed down. We dry cut the entire shape releasing weight and length on the top of the head to create a layer shape reminiscent of the ‘70s shags,” explains Bradshaw.

Stylists that do a lot of long hair work, extensions, and bridal styles, know the value of an iron with an extra-long barrel.  It allows more hair to be wrapped around while providing enough surface area to heat it thoroughly. Sam Villa curling and Marcel irons have particularly long barrels to make styling natural extensions and longer hair easier and faster. Letting us in on her expert tips, Lindsey Olson, Sam Villa Ambassador @lindsey.marie.olson, demonstrates how to prep longer hair with extra-long barrels for a modern French twist.
