hair summer survival 101

Most important thing to remember about the sun is it'll..DRY DRY DRY those locks out!!

take action...

Best for you (shhhh) sun worshipers-

 Redken UV Rescue Daily Sun Milk leave-in protective moisturizer

*shields hair from the damaging and drying effects of the sun.  Detangles and moisturizes leaving hair with a lightweight, natural finish.  Replenishes and soothes the scalp providing SPF 12 protection.

*Exclusive interbond conditioning system delivers anti-oxidant and energizing vitamin C derivative that combindes with ceramide and UVB filter to form the C2 Solar Complex.  This powerful blend helps protection and helps restore moisture

* Work through damp or dry hair before sun exposure, massaging liberally into scalp, style as usual.  Reapply after swimming or exercise ;)

 

Pool Time Protection For all you Waterbabes

Kerstase Soleil Aqua Seal

*Planning on making a splash shouldnt forget to bathe hair with a drop or two of this little bottle of gold.  The formula works by coating hair to lock in moisture and most improtantly protect from water penetration.  If you love the pool but hate what the water does to your hair then the nourishing, protectiong and smoothing formula might be one for the suitcase.

*Seals the hair with a waterproof veil to protect against harmful UV rays andwater aggresssors.  Improves water retention to make the fiber more supple. Smoothes the hair and brings shine.

*Apply 1-2 pumps of product in palm of hand and warm until creamy texture turns shiny.  Apply on dry hair through out lenghts and ends.  Do not rinse out.

** Another great tip always always wet your hair before planning on spending a good amount of time in the water!!

and lastly my fav, nothings quit as simple as throwing a cute summer hat on...and thanks to all these sassy fun little numbers, your options are quite endless!

happy summer  :)

New ways to ROck it !!

Part your hair down the middle, take existing hair into 3 big sections.  Take middle section and twist up  into a bun and pin.  French braid the 2 outer sections and pin bottoms at base of hair to meet up with the bun.  Twist excess hair around bun and pin!!

the fishtail technique is simple, take your side pony into two sections take a small section of the left sectinon and add it to the right section, repeat with right side, add alittle of the right side section to the left! repeat till you get towards the end of your pony!! messier the merrier! no need to be a perfectionist here!! just go with it!!

hairline braid, gotta love this fresh and youthful look!! one of my fav's!

part your hair far and deep off to one side, at a briad going down your hairline to your hair. Pin with 2 pins to make an "X". Gather remaining hair into a fashion forward knott at the bottom of your hair!!

the classic pony with an added bonus of a braid!  if you're brave and know your stuff, gather all your hair and start off your braiding skills......if not so...tie a hair tie around pony first, then start your braid, only allow braid to last about 3 to 4 inches, then add a hair tie!! WaaaaaLaaaa! braid and pony in one!!

Peek-a-boo!!!

this braid is great and different!! this stlye is perfect for that one day two day old hair!! spray some beach spray and some pomade to your hair to "rough"  it up!! Back comb the section of hair you want to braid to add even more character, dont worry about making this braid "look" great!!! Messier the better! just go with it!!! add a clear tie at the end and  you are set!!!!
