Devan Woods knew as a little girl that she wanted to be a professional hairdresser. Her parents discouraged her, so she did not follow her dreams until much later in life. August 1, 2014 makes 2 years for Devan as a hair care professional.
You specialize in "healthy hair", what's 1 thing that damages the hair that people should stop doing and 1 thing they should do to improve the condition of their hair?
"HEAT!! Excessive heat dries out the hair and causes breakage. Flat ironing and blow drying more than once a week is not good for the hair."
"Leave-in conditioner is a very important step that is often skipped. Just like you put on lotion after a shower your hair needs the same treatment."
Relax and color the same day, yes or no? "No."
Hair vitamins are big business, do you believe that they are as effective as they claim to be? If so which do you recommend?
"I haven't seen any amazing results they claim to provide. So instead of spending all of your money on these so called miracle pills. I recommend the $5 Biotin that can be purchased at Wal-Mart."
What are your favorite products and tools?
"I love Kenra's product line and my Hai blow dryer."
Why is it important for all stylists to attend classes and hair shows?
"First because it keeps you excited about your profession. Secondly, knowledge is power."
