 and you're watching Beyond for Renee today. And today I'm here in Culver City at the Diva Chantalon because I am going to get my hair cut and colored. I'm so excited. Let's do this. Thank you. Oh, my good girl. She was a Diva certified curl expert that's going to be cutting my hair. And the thing that made me most comfortable was coming to her is that I told her I wanted to get a haircut, and she responded with, yeah, let's reshape you. So she didn't say like, okay, let's cut all your hair off. She just said reshape, because that's kind of all I really want. I just want more of a shape. It's really flat, so. Perfect. Help me out with it. And that's what we'll do. So looking here, we don't need to touch the length at all because your length is what we're, you know, growing out. So what we need is to lift and some movement right here. And we need to lift and make sure these up-sleeves layer gives us a lot of elevation, a lot of movement. So that way you don't do as much picking. That way the style is kind of there for you. Perfect. Just a little reshape. All right, let's do it. I'm excited. Here we go. When you come to get a haircut at the Diva Salon, you're not only getting a haircut, you're also getting curl education. Throughout my haircut, Felicia would ask me questions like, what's my sleep routine? What products do I use? How do I wash my hair? How often do I wash my hair? All important questions that every curly girl should know. Now luckily because of what I do, and being a curl vlogger, I knew the correct answer to all these questions. But for the average curly girl, you walk out of the salon knowing exactly what your curls need. So that this was not a big chop. If you look on the floor, you see the smallest little curls. No drastic changes. I still have my same length, but I have a whole new shape and some new bangs. Absolutely love it. Now let's head off to color. All right, I'm here with Izzy. She is the color specialist here at Diva Salon. I will put her Instagram in the description box. You gotta check out her work. So let me show you what I want. I took a picture from your Instagram. I really like this kind of color. So not too blonde, but yeah, more of a light brown. I love that idea as well. So what's the difference between Pintura highlights and just regular highlights? I mean, when it comes to curly hair, I feel like Pintura was specially designed for that. When you work with the Pintura, you work with the curl. You follow the curl pattern. And besides that, it's definitely more healthier because it sits on the hair, not inside the foil. Cause I feel like if it sits inside the foil sometimes, it overworks the hair. This sits on your hair. It grows out much more beautiful and it's even healthier, especially for curly hair. Cause curly hair is so easy, easy to like get dehydrated, get dried, get fried. This, you don't even have to worry about that. Okay, that's good. I do a lot of questions about getting color and if it like damages your hair and everything. Absolutely not. That's what I feel like the Pintura, it's definitely my favorite, favorite technique cause these are the painting techniques out here. But because it works with your hair and not against it, it's always gonna be my favorite. Cool, let's do it. Let's do this. Color could really soak in. Then they're gonna wrap me up. They use this pretty much large saran wrap to wrap me up like a piece of leftover food. And then they put me in the microwave. I mean, under the dryer. Now it's time to head over to the washing area. In this area of the salon, it has these really cute princess-like drapes that they will wrap over you as you lay down and get your hair washed. This is Eze's assistant, Paul, who's also known as the Curl Jedi. And he is actually adding the steps for the Olaplex. And he also gave me the best scalp massage ever. I would suggest just coming here after a hard day at work and just getting your hair washed. So, relax. All right, so the next step is we're gonna put in the Olaplex. Number two. And what is Olaplex? Olaplex is a bond multiplier. It only does one thing and it does it very well. It finds the broken to soft light bonds in your hair and relinks them back together. And these bonds are broken through color, lightener, perms, relaxers, thermal styling at home, flat irons, blow dryers, mechanical styling, brushing. All of these things break the bonds in the hair. So the sulfide bonds are the same type of hair. Straight hair, wavy hair, curly hair. All hair is made up of the same bonds. And Olaplex brings those bonds right back together. The distribution is key here. Key. We developed our own little technique here because a lot of the curly girls have really thick hair. So we have to go internally. Watch this. So now the second phase of this is to massage it in. Anytime you massage these products in, they break the cuticle and the hair absorbs it a lot better. So what I'm doing here with this conditioner, with this treatment, is the same kind of movement that you wanna be using when you do conditioner. Now that Paul has washed my curls to perfection, as he came back to do the styling, she used the DivaCurl Bee Leave-In and the DivaCurl Super Cream, my personal favorite. So you kinda see like how juicy this is gonna look. I love me some juicy curls. I then headed back to the styling chair and flipped my head over where Ezzie applied more DivaCurl products. She applied the products on soaking wet hair and then squeezed all the excess water back out. She then dried off my curls using a microfiber towel. Now back with Felicia, she's adding these small clips to give us more volume because instead of your hair drying flat on your head, it's now gonna give it some instant lift. Then she brought over the coolest looking dryer ever where you slide your whole head in and they actually just stick a normal DivaDryer in the little hole on top. Then I sat there and let my curls dry. And flipping over again, there's a lot of flipping happening at the DivaCelon. She's now using a diffuser to dry the last little bits of my hair before we see the final results. Oops, yeah, it's really caramel, but I want it. Thank you, lady. Thank you, lady. You just got to play. All right, that is my final look of my haircut in color. I love it so much. This is definitely the best haircut I've ever had. It's so nice to come to a place that appreciates curls, understands curls, you can walk in without having so nervous. Yes. So you can leave happy, which I don't think I've ever left this one happy with my haircut, to be honest. Thank you guys so much.
