Get Rid of Winter Frizzies

Tuesday November 15, 2011

OK, I hate the winter-static-electricity frizz hair gets around this time of year through to spring. So how to combat them? It's all in the product. For thick hair, apply styling cream from the roots of hair to the tips. Then blow dry. For fine hair, try a light mousse.

How to Go a Day Without Washing Your Hair

Sunday November 13, 2011

Some women with oily hair insist they have to wash their hair daily. To get another day out of your tresses, invest in a dry shampoo (Bumble & Bumble makes a great product that comes in a variety of colors to match hair). The shampoo is a bit like talcum powder and absorbs oils and gives hair a clean scent. If you have light colored hair, you can opt for the more affordable talcum powder (or even corn starch in a pinch). I love this tip from InStyle magazine on how to keep your blow-out intact over several days:

1. Make sure to rinse hair thoroughly after you wash to get out any conditioner residue, says stylist Nathaniel Hawkins.

2. Products actually keep hair from getting oily. Spritz damp locks with a volumnizer spray or mousse before blowing hair dry.

3. Revive hair with a curling iron and a spritz of hairspray.
