5 Tips for Amazing Hair all Summer
Read Time: 2 min 49 sec Maintaining hair health and moisture can be challenging during the summer months. Pools, heat, and UV exposure can all work against you, so how do you get the most out of your style while still enjoying all summer has to offer? In this article, we will break down 5 tips to keep your locks looking luscious, all while saving you tyme and allowing you to enjoy fun in the sun ;) Using Products That Keep Moisture in Your Hair Keeping your hair hydrated is one of the most undervalued aspects of summer styling it will keep your hair performing it’s best. This affects almost every aspect of how your hair performs. From keeping your hair from frizzing in humidity to helping your hair maintain it's style. It is vital to use products that work to maintain moisture in your hair. The question is how will you know if you are using the right products to hydrate your hair? You will know because your scalp will not be overproducing oil to compensate for the lack of moisture in your hair. Meaning if you have to wash daily or even every other day because it looks or feels oily your products may not be keeping enough moisture in your hair. As a result, your scalp will produce more oil to try and hydrate the hair! Using the right foundational products like Pregame Shampoo and Showoff Conditioner that focus on hair health ensures that even with heat styling your hair will maintain it’s shine without becoming oily for days. Not Over Drying with Styling Tools When you dry your hair the right amount it will have a healthy shine without needing products to restore the shine that is often lost by over-drying the hair. Your blow dry time will be faster because it won’t hang onto moisture longer than necessary, and if your hair is thin it will help it feel full and have more volume. If you are using too much heat meaning over drying or overheating your hair you will know because it will lose its shine. The good news is every time you wash your hair you get the opportunity to start over and maintain the shine! Protecting Your Hair’s Dignity when Faced with Humidity Using the right shampoo and conditioner can completely change the game when it comes to your hair's reaction to humidity. If you are using a shampoo and conditioner that keeps your hair truly hydrated your hair will perform better in humidity. When hair is naturally curly and dehydrated and is exposed to humidity it will expand and grow bigger, it will do this to pull moisture from the air and absorb the moisture it needs. If your shampoo and conditioner are keeping your hair hydrated your hair will have the moisture it needs so it won’t be over reactive to the water the air provides. The result is shiny healthy hair that will maintain it’s dignity! Styling Your Hair on a Beach/Pool Day When you are planning a day by the water, wear your hair as close to its natural state as possible. If your hair is naturally curly enhance the natural curl. If it’s naturally straight, wear it straight. If your hair has natural wave keep loose waves in the style. Wearing it closest to its natural state helps if you get splashed because your hairdo won’t completely fall into chaos! It just may not look as polished. If you’re headed on a vacation and you feel like you have to choose one of these styles because you only want to pack one tool, you’re in luck because all 3 looks can be created with the TYME Iron and it comes with a handy travel heat sleeve so you can even create curls waves or straighten as you’re packing up to leave and can just pop it in your bag right away! Wearing a Hat with Curls Loose beach waves are always amazing with a hat on, the soft curls are the perfect feminine touch with any hat. You can create loose beachy waves using the TYME Iron in 5-10 minutes so you don’t have to worry about putting a hat on over curls that took you forever...because they didn’t! ;) For more tips and hair tutorials, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest.
3 Tips For Healthier Hair
Read Time: 1 min 29 sec
Maintaining moisture in your hair is one of the most important factors when addressing your hair health and integrity. Top 3 tips for maintaining moisture in your hair:
Nourish the hair to maintain a healthy cuticle layer
Blow dry the right amount
Use loose tension while curling, rather than squeezing the shape into it
Products that maintain moisture protect your hair’s integrity.
Keep your cuticle layer healthy to lock in moisture and keep the hair strand strong. Pregame Shampoo is packed with proteins, and those proteins make your hair stronger by repairing the outer cuticle layer. Your scalp also produces natural oils to protect your hair. Finding the right shampoo and conditioner that cleanse your hair but are gentle enough to keep the benefits of your body’s natural nourishment is vital. One way this is done is through sulfate-free shampoos. When your hair maintains moisture your scalp produces less oil, and your hair will have less tendency to hang on to unnecessary water. As a result, your hair will be full of life, dry faster and have a healthy shine.
Blow dry the right amount. This is integral to your hair maintaining health. When your hair is blow-dried the right amount, the hair will shine. When it’s over-dried, it will lose its shine. The good news is, every time you wash your hair, you get a chance to maintain moisture. Start drying at the root and work your way out, finishing at the ends of your hair. Be sure to watch that the shine is still there when you’re done blow drying.
It is possible to keep hair healthy when using heat--as long as you pay attention to the shine in your hair. When we designed the iron, we paid particular attention to how perfectly the plates line up together. Because the plates line up, it allows for even heat on the hair which enables you to use less pressure as you glide down the hair. Most irons have a gap in the plates which requires you to squeeze the plates together, and in essence, squeeze the moisture out of your hair. We like to think of it more like shaping the curl with the plates only touching your hair, not each other, rather than squeezing the shape into the hair.

TYME: The New Approach to Hair Care
You deserve to be given back your most coveted asset, your TYME! With this new approach to hair care, you can wash your hair less and have it perform better. Leave the old system behind and make life easy by starting with a great foundation! We’ve all been there. Buying product after product to help fix a certain hair “problem.” You buy shampoo to make your hair feel soft, but then it gets too soft so you need something that will add more texture. Then your hair feels dull so you buy a shampoo to add shine, but then it looks greasy. Eventually, you need a clarifying shampoo to remove all the waxes and coatings that are left on your hair from all the different shampoos, conditioners and styling products. Not to mention you now have a million different bottles cluttering up your shower and cabinets. There has to be a better way, right?! So here at TYME, we set out to make a shampoo and conditioner that can perform for ALL hair types. The manufacturer wasn’t limited on what price point or ingredients to be used and had never been told to create a shampoo and conditioner that was formulated for hair performance AND to be more concentrated, so you don’t have to use as much as you would with traditional shampoo and conditioner. Jacynda, the TYME creator, started thinking about all of the things she wanted to fix about the other options on the market. Some of the hair challenges Jacynda wanted to fix:
Needing a bunch of different products which creates clutter and makes it more complicated and more expensive.
Needing different shampoos and conditioners in one shower for different hair types.
Having to shampoo every day.
Reading the label to know which product is which. We’ve all been there and accidentally put the conditioner on first! ;) Problem solved!!
Needing more than one pump of shampoo and conditioner!
Fragrances that did not go well together within one hair care line.
Our products were designed as a nutrition plan for your hair using the best ingredients for all hair types so that everyone can benefit from using them, no matter who you are. 10 things to expect with Pregame Shampoo and Showoff Conditioner, or Power Couple, as we like to call it 😍:
Expect to have to wash your hair less.
Expect your style to hold longer.
Expect your hair to have volume while still feeling soft and looking silky.
Expect to use one pump of the shampoo and conditioner.
Expect a pump you can use with one hand, so no more picking up the bottle.
Expect to use equal amounts of shampoo and conditioner.
Expect to recognize the shampoo by the bling ring and the top and the conditioner by the bling ring at the bottom.
Expect a locking pump that’s perfect for travel. (Which fit perfectly in our ZipTYME bags)
Expect the same amazing fragrance throughout our entire line of products.
Expect less clutter in your shower.
Since the creation of the TYME Pregame Shampoo and Showoff Conditioner, a few more products have been added. Here is a rundown of each of the products… Pregame Shampoo is sulfate-free and uses fewer surfactants which is more gentle on your hair. Our approach to hydrating your hair is to keep the cuticle layer healthy, which locks in your hair’s moisture and keeps each strand strong. Over time the use of this protein-enriched shampoo can restore your hair and it will look and feel amazing! Showoff Conditioner allows your hair to have volume while still feeling soft and looking silky. Instead of developing multiple shampoos and conditioners that work to manage a particular hair problem, we have created our wet line to nurture the hair from within so there are no hair problems! Upstaged Thermal Protectant combines as many products into one as possible. Upstaged performs to give your hair grip, slip, volume, shine, hold, and thermal protection - all in one bottle! TYMELESS Repair and Shine Spray reduces frizz and leaves your hair looking and feeling silky, shiny, and healthy. It also helps combat humidity. We like to refer to TYMELESS as “liquid gold.” With one spray, you will be hooked! You can feel confident in spraying TYMELESS on your finished style, and it will not only not weigh down your style, but it will also make it look even better! For best results, brush through your hair after spraying. SelfieTYME Hairspray helps hold your style longer. We have added memory resins (Which are these super cool molecules that remember your hairs shape and style. Yes, that exists!) so you can brush your curls and know they will stay in place while leaving your hair soft and touchable. Remember, where hairspray dries is where your hair will stay. :) BigTYME Root Lift Powder, the newest addition to the TYME Hair Care Line, allows your hair to have more volume, grip, and texture. Expect to have to backcomb your hair less when spraying at the roots. BigTYME may be sprayed throughout hair for overall texture and to absorb oil between washes. It also works amazing for adding texture to braids. For more tips and hair tutorials, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest.

How to Eliminate Frizz & Static Once and for All
It’s that time of year when the air gets drier and some people start to deal with dry skin, chapped lips and frizz and static in their hair. We just want to start off by saying if you remember one word from this entire post - remember MOISTURE. One of the most important things you can do to help combat frizz and static is to maintain the proper moisture balance in your hair. It’s actually pretty amazing that, while discussing around the office that a big request for a blog post from our followers was tips and tricks to battle frizz and static, we realized that this is something that no one in our office deals with anymore since we came out with our product line. Here are the top 5 solutions we found for maintaining moisture to eliminate the static blues forever. 5 Ways to Maintain Moisture in Your Hair:
Start with the right foundational products. Maintaining proper moisture content in your hair starts with your foundational products, including your shampoo and conditioner. Pregame Shampoo works to keep the cuticle layer healthy which locks in moisture and keeps the hair strand strong. Over time the use of our shampoo will have your hair feeling hydrated, and it will look and feel amazing- with no static! 😉
Extend your time between shampoos to maintain your natural oil levels. (Check out our blog post 5 Tips for Oily Hair, for tips and tricks to balance your oil levels.)
Thermal protectant will also help maintain the moisture level in your hair by protecting your hair from heat tools. Limitless Universal Spray contains polymers with a very high charge density which allows it to function as an effective anti-static agent without stickiness, greasiness, or build-up problems. It also helps prevent flyaways!
TYMELESS Repair and Shine Spray helps control frizz and static with pro-vitamins which function as hair conditioning agents to provide long-lasting moisture to hair and prevents heat damage due to curling irons and blow dryers. In addition, Baobab Tein helps to protect hair and lock in moisture.
Ionic blow dryers, such as BlowTYME Hair Dryer, help reduce frizz and static by separating the water molecules instead of using pure heat to dry your hair. This will cut down the heat damage that can be done with traditional blow dryers.

5 Tips for Oily Hair
Can you even imagine how freeing it is to wake up and not have to wash your hair every day?! If you battle greasy or oily hair and feel like you need to shampoo every day or every other day, then this post is for you! Here are 5 simple tips to help you wash your hair less:
Hand’s off!! Keeping your hands out of your hair will help because your hands produce oil which can then be transferred to your hair if you are touching it.
Oil-based shine serums. If you want to add shine to your hair, try using a shine product that is oil-free such as TYMELESS Repair and Shine Spray.
Over-washing your hair (including the use of dry shampoo) is one of the main culprits of oily hair! Washing your hair too often makes your scalp produce more oils. Try adding a few days between washes.
Rinse your hair thoroughly when shampooing and conditioning.
Using water that is too hot when shampooing and conditioning can stimulate oil glands and make them produce more oil.
You will not want to use a shampoo that makes your hair feel heavy or greasy. It also helps to understand that your scalp needs to adjust to fewer washes when starting out. It typically takes your scalp around a month to adjust to not shampooing every day, so don’t get discouraged! We recommend TYME Pregame Shampoo and Showoff Conditioner because they are mild cleansers that are designed to restore and maintain moisture in your hair, which causes all kinds of awesome benefits including being able to go days and days between washes. While waiting for this adjustment, play with different hairstyle options on days 2, 3, or 4. Maybe throw on a hat, try a cute braided bun or try a sleek ponytail since you’ll have some extra tyme in your morning routine ;) For more tips and hair tutorials, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest
