Welcome to Hair Explained. The educational side of The Blonde in NYC
If you've ever sat in my chair, you already know
I explain everything!
Why your hair feels dry
Why your color faded
Why I recommended one haircut instead of another
Why I said "not yet" to going lighter
Why one product is worth the money and another isn't
I've never been able to just do hair without explaining the "why"
After almost 20 years behind the chair, I've realized something
Women don't just want beautiful hair; they want to understand it
And honestly, I don't blame them
Hair has become confusing
I’ve always believed that an educated client makes the best decisions, not just in my chair, but every day after they leave it.
Open Instagram, TikTok or Google and everyone has an opinion. One person tells you to wash your hair every day. The next says once a week. Someone swears by rosemary oil, someone else says it's a waste of money. There are thousands of products, hundreds of trends and more information than ever before, but somehow, understanding your own hair has become harder.
That's exactly why I created The Blonde in NYC
Not just as a website.
Not just as a place to book an appointment
But as a place where hair is finally explained!
A place where you can come when you're wondering if a trend is actually worth it
A place where you can learn how to take care of your hair; not the girl you saw on TikTok
A place where healthy hair comes before trends
Where realistic maintenance comes before perfection
Where honesty always comes before selling products
A place where there is absolutely no gatekeeping
If I know something that can help you better understand your hair, I'm going to share it
Whether it's why your blonde always gets brassy, how often you should actually wash your hair, why your hair won't grow, which products are worth buying, or the science behind why your hair behaves the way it does
We're going to talk about all of it.
Here's what you'll find inside Hair Explained:
• Healthy hair education
• Hair science (without making it boring)
• Honest product reviews
• Hair myths…busted
• Color maintenance
• Styling tips that actually make sense
• Behind the chair stories
• Real client transformations
• And answers to the questions I hear every single day
But here's the part I'm most excited about...
I don't want this to feel like I'm talking at you
I want it to feel like we're having the same conversations we'd have if you were sitting in my chair
Because some of the best questions I've ever been asked have come from my clients
So let's keep that going
I need your help!
What hair question have you always wanted to ask a hairstylist?
Leave it in the comments below
Every week, I'll choose questions from this community and answer them through articles, videos and honest conversations.
Because if you're wondering about it
Someone else probably is too
Thank you for being here and for being part of the beginning of something that's been on my heart for a long time
I have a feeling we're going to build something really special together
See you behind the chair,
Crystal 🤍
