Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Swing and movement

    Describes a cut that creates space in your hair so that it moves freely and sexily.  

  • Styling creme

    A product that builds volume with lots of hold. Great for when you want to roller-set your hair.  

  • Straightening iron

    A heat-based styling tool used to press your hair smooth, straight, and flat.  

  • Split ends

    The tips of hair that have split open, making it impossible to achieve a successful style. Causes include dryness, too much heat-tool styling, or too many chemical treatments—and not enough care to restore the moisture. The only guaranteed way to get rid of them is to cut them off.  

  • Small round brush

    A styling tool best used on short hairstyles. Great for adding lift, smoothness, and volume. Can also be wrapped around the hair to create curly ringlets.  

  • Shine spray

    A styling product that shines up your style, giving you more glitz and dazzle. Most shine sprays also fight flyaways and leave your hair flat and smooth.  

  • Shampoo

    A product that cleanses your hair. Has lots of suds and lather, and a good one leaves your hair clean, refreshed, and smelling lovely.  

  • Semipermanent color

    Temporary hair color (lasting no more than twelve shampoos). Adds shine, fullness, and depth in a variety of subtle tones.  

  • Scissor cut

    Scissor cut

    Any haircut that is done with scissors.  

  • Roller-set

    Using rollers to give yourself a set style.
