Simple Hair Tips For Summer 2009

Simple Hair Tips For Summer 2009

It's annoying to let your hair down when the temperature soars. Here is one simple style that sure isn't just a plain old ponytail.

Step 1: Back comb dry hair from the front of your scalp to the crown.

Step 2: Spritz all your stands with a wave enhancing spray for texture.

Step 3: Pull your hair into a low side ponytail and secure it with an elastic band. It's okay if it's messy, it will look fresher that way.

Step 4: Braid strands. Wrap your braids around the base of your ponytail to form a bun. Secure with bobby pins.

Try using a volumizer pre styling. We suggest ProThik Hair Volumizer or Retro Hair Elevate Volumizing Spray Foam 8 oz.

Summer is finally here! With that said, you will most likely spend most of your time outdoors. No more cold winter nights by the fire, it's time to let loose and paint the town! Looking amazing this summer is key when enjoying yourself this summer. Here are some great tips to jump start your fresh summer look!

Stay Vibrant

Drink plenty of water to clear up your skin and aid your kidneys in excreting toxins from your body. Keep your skin moisturized for a healthy, natural glow. Try Clarins Younger Longer Balm.

You are more breakout prone in heat, so always remember to purchase your products according to skin type. Always remove make-up at the end of the day, and wash your face twice (morning and night). If you tend to have oily skin, carry oil-absorbing pads with you to blot your skin with every few hours. Try DermaQuest Acne Management

Always use sunscreen. You will still tan but you will cause a lot less damage to your skin. Use a self-tanning lotion or cream. Try St. Tropez Self Tanning Treatments.

Remain physically active. Go to the gym 3 - 4 times a week. If a gym is not accessible, go swimming, biking, rollerblading, walking, etc.

The Right Style

Finding the right hair style has never been so fun! Using the right volumizer is the most beneficial way to style any do! Define your style according to your hair type. (See Blog) Don't forget to try Rene Furterer Anti-Dehydrating Volumizing Mousse. 2009's look focuses less on highlights and more on rich, solid colors that compliment your face shape and coloring. Fringe cuts were tops on many of the runway's top models. The cut that complements all the others in high fashion circles this season is lengths of layers with casual textures. The natural look is easy to create with layers of unstyled, free moving hair. Not a lot of curl but plenty of slightly tousled waves added to the volume and texture make this a fun way to style your hair.

Trim your hair. An updated style does wonders for the psyche and gets you ready for time in the sun. For an inexpensive, natural pickup, comb some lemon juice through your hair and let the sun give you some highlights.

Define Your Beauty

Because summer means fun in the waves, use a waterproof mascara to accentuate your gorgeous eyes. Curl your eyelashes before you apply mascara, this will give your lashes an extra curl. Liquid foundation may be a bit heavy, try using a light powder. Apply bronzer to your cheeks, forehead, nose and chin; this will give you a nice summer glow. If you have pimples, dot on concealer and seal it with powder. Try Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder.

Burst into color with O.P.I's South Beach Nail Polish. Adding color to your nails gives you a burst of personality! Treat your nails every 2 weeks. Use a clear nail gloss with inbuilt UV protection topcoat and do not forget to rub sunscreen on nails too after every two hours, just like the rest of your body.

Sprinkle your feet with foot powder before wearing sandals to avoid any blisters. If you still feel shoe-on-skin rubbing, protect the sensitive area with a bandage before the blister forms. To get rid of the blister, take a clean needle and sanitize it with alcohol. Pop the blister and use cotton to clean any fluid that comes out of it. Apply an antibiotic ointment without trying to scrape off the skin and then cover the area with a bandage.

Spray Your Beauty

Find your signature fragrance this summer with a light fruity-floral. Try CK One Summer by Calvin Klein Perfume or Burberry Brit Sheer by Burberry.

How to Volumize Hair - Add Volume To Fine, Curly and Flat Hair

How to Volumize Hair - Add Volume To Fine, Curly and Flat Hair


Big hair is what's currently HOT~ I'm not talking about 1960's beehives or 1980's ratted hair do's. 2009 modern hair styles scream VOLUME! Hair volume is BIG this season and if you've tried desperately to puff up your strands, here are some tips to achieve your ideal style this summer. Whether you have fine, curly, or flat hair, these techniques will boost your hair volume in no time!

For Starters:

Cleanse Carefully: Use a volumizing conditioner and shampoo. (apply conditioner only to ends) Applying to tips won't weight your hair down. Try: Dove Extra Volume Shampoo and Conditioner

Give Your Roots a Turbo Boost: Apply the a light volumizing product before blow drying. Start from the mid root area- unless your hair is fine, apply to base roots only. Try: Redken 5th Avenue Full Frame Protecting Volumizing Mousse.

Blow Drying: For maximum oomph, lift sections of your hair upwards and blow-dry, directing the hot air toward your scalp. This "cooks" the roots and dries them in an upright and lifted position. (Do not flip hair upside down. Flipping your head over to blow-dry gives your hair width not height.) Try: Conair's Ionic Hair Dryers

Use a Flat Backed Brush: Instead of teasing your your roots with a comb, use a flat-backed brush. Since the bristles are spaced apart it will less likely damage your hair.

Mist, Don't Drench: Heavy hairspray is the ultimate volume enemy! If you must use a finishing product, spritz it into the air and walking through. Or, spray it onto your hands and then run them through your strands.

If you have:

Long Hair

1. STAY AWAY from washing your hair the day you will be styling. Hair tends be have more natural volume when it is frequently freshly washed. You you absolutely need to wash your hair, use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. 

2. Apply a Volumizing mousse to damp hair. Work the product into the roots with a wide toothed comb. 

3. Use a brush to lift the first one to two inches of your hair straight up away from your scalp and point the dryer’s nozzle under the section directed upwards for more hair volume at the roots of your hair. Leave the dryer there for a few seconds and then move on to the next section.

4. Finish scrunching the hair until it is only slightly damp if you are wearing your hair curly. Let your hair air dry the rest of the way to avoid your hair getting frizzy.

5. Use a dime to a quarter-sized dollop of hair pomade or styling wax to tame any frizzies and define the ends. Try: Aveda Custom Control Gel Wax

6. For a final burst of hair volume, flip your head upside down and lightly mist your hair with a light-hold hair spray. Bring your head right side up again and use your fingers to fix any stray hairs.

Short Hair 

1. Apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair. Run a wide-toothed comb through the hair and evenly distribute the product through your hair. 

2. Vent or round brushed are recommended when drying. Focus on the roots of your hair by lifting them off the scalp and blow dry under each section. Repeat this for all areas of hair. 

3. Use a brush to smooth the ends of your hair in place. Styling against natural hair parts increases volume. 

4. Separate your strands and add a volumizing wax. Coat your fingers and run your fingers through your strands.  For a chunky look, coat small sections only. 

5. For a little extra volume, spray the first two inches of your roots with hair spray.

Warning!
If you have fine hair, beware of how much hair product you put on your hair. Many products are heavy and weigh down and limp your strands. Remember to look for mousses with volumizers or spray gels that hold without putting pressure on your hair. Try: Infusium 23 Volumologie Collection. 

Tip:
Try hot rollers for a soft curl volume. Simply alter between small and medium rollers for shorter hair and medium rollers for long hair. One rollers are cooled, separate curls with fingers. Begin styling. 

Curly Hair
1. Wash your hair with specialized shampoo and conditioner that volumizes naturally curly hair. 

2. Use a blow dryer on hair that is already curly. Hold sections of hair up and point the dryer upward. This will set the roots in a higher position making it look fuller.  

3. Give your unique curls more volume with a volumizing product. Gels are made to give hair an extra push for volume. Apply these products while styling.  Try Tresemme' Flawless Curl Extra Hold Mousse.

With these tips and a daily regime, your lifeless strands with glimmer with sunshine in no time! Not all products may work well with your hairs texture. Don't be afraid to browse around! Happy Volumizing!
