Hair Time!

Hair is one of your most important features when it comes to fashion. Think about it, you can have a $1500 dress on, Neil Lane diamonds wrapped around your wrists, and it all means nothing if your head includes a hot mess. Here are some hair tips:
  1. Hair is not the place for DIY. You get what you pay for and $7 for a box of color is just that. Invest in your hair by going to a salon where a professional can do what is right for your hair. Keep in mind, there are different options when it comes to dye. Blonde is a color that's hard to upkeep and usually requires a salon visit every four weeks. If you want blonde but less frequent visits, try some highlights. By using different parts, the life of your highlights can extend 6-8 weeks. 
  2. Product is the key to great hair. No one is born with hair that behaves itself (And if you have this, I think I speak for all women when I say... We hate you!). Every hair style can use a little lift/volume. I swear by Redken "Guts" spray. It's a root booster that you spray on and blow dry to pump up the oomph in your hair. Follow up with some teasing depending on how big you are aiming for and use a freezing hairspray as a finisher.
  3. Invest in some good shampoo. Pureology hydrate is an excellent product, especially for women with processed hair that is dry and brittle. Wash your hair in warm, not hot, water. And remember that shower caps were invented for a reason! Don't wash your hair every day girls! It removes all the natural oils from your hair shaft and scalp. Dry shampoo is such an awesome product that helps keep your hair looking clean and it refreshes the volume. You can get dry shampoo at your local super market or take a step further and go pro with Oscar Blandi Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray.
  4.  Lastly, use Pinterest! Browse the hair section. There are so many ideas in the hair and beauty section that there's no excuse to not have a style and/or color you absolutely love. I especially love the pins about how to do your hair in 15 minutes or less! Who would have guessed? 
So get out there and be fabulous with your new hair tips!!!
