Get Shiny HairWe all want the same thing-long, beautiful shiny hair. Although I can’t help you with the long part, here are some easy tips to getting beautiful, shiny hair. The first thing to remember is that your hair is not designed to take all the stress that it takes- dyes, perms, curling irons, straighteners, products, etc. All of these things leave your hair dry, dull and very unhealthy. Get your hair back by starting a weekly treatment. I like VO5 Hot Oil Treatment. Use it once a week for about a month, and you’ll see amazing results. It will leave your hair feeling very soft, and will gi...

Messy UpdoA sexy, messy updo is the perfect style for a hot summer day when you want to keep your hair out of your face and still look amazing. It’s fast and easy to do, and great for those bad hair days. Wash your hair with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Towel dry your hair. Scrunch a curl enhancing mousse into damp hair and let it air dry. Gather your hair into a low, loose ponytail. Don’t pull your hair all the way through the elastic the last time you wrap it around; you want to form a loop. Leave a few face framing pieces and curl them just a little bit. Spray your hair with an an...

Wavy HairWaves are all the rage this year! They’re easy to make, and have a very natural look about them. Waves work on anyone who has medium shoulder-length hair to long hair. Waves not only look great on everyone, but add volume and texture to your hair. Follow these tips on how to get the perfect wavy beach hair. Start off by washing your hair with a volumizing shampoo.

Get a Messy BunSexy, messy buns are extremely hot right now, and so easy to pull off. Perfect for bad hair days, lazy days, and pretty much any day you want! They look great during the day, at night, at work, school, whatever you want! Here’s how to pull off a messy bun. Start off by sweeping the front part of your hair to one side as to create a fuller crown area. Use your fingers along with a paddle brush to direct both sides to the back of the head.

Get Extra VolumeAs you’ve probably noticed, salon hair, is the best hair. You always try to get that same look, but somehow get left behind. Professional hair stylists often use a term called “over direction” which means that as you dry each section, you pull the brush in the opposite direction you want it to fall. Don’t worry, it’s the easiest thing to pull off, and you’ll have unbelievable volume. When you pull the brush the opposite way, it loops up and over, giving it the desired height and body. Start off with the basics by using a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. ...

Get Healthy HairThink about the damage your hair has gone through this past year. At least for most of us, it’s been through hell; blow-drying, straightening, perms, coloring, etc…the list goes on and on. Every product we use on our hair also has damaging effects, and therefore leaves the hair dry, weak and brittle. The best way to get your hair back on track to its natural, healthy form is to start from the beginning. Follow this routine religiously for about a month, and I guarantee your hair will be back to its natural shine, and it will be as healthy as ever. Start off by chopping off those sp...

Gather about 3 inches of dry hair, and roll them around the barrel of a skinny curling iron (an inch wide or less). This effect creates sexy hourglass waves, and because you’re not grabbing large bits of hair at a time, you can do your whole head in just ten minutes! ...
