Holiday Hair: Big, Bouncy, Beautiful Locks

 

I’m a huge fan of BIG hair! Preparation is everything in achieving big, bouncy, beautiful locks. With the Holidays right around the corner, there’s no better time than to talk hair. From pulled back ponytails, to slicked back buns, there’s one hairdo that never goes out of style. Healthy, bouncy curls that just say “look at me!” I have a lot of hair, but it is definitely fine. Through the years my hair has lost it’s lustre as well it’s volume. The key to having full, healthy looking hair with curls that last all nightlong is the preparation. I always start with my favorite shampoo and conditioner by Catwalk called Your Highness. In my opinion it is one of the BEST volumizing shampoos on the market. Before I blow dry my hair, I spritz my towel dried hair from root to tip with Sally Hershberger’s Supreme Lift Spray. Once my hair is dry, I set my entire head with hot curlers, only using the large and medium size curlers in the set. It’s best to keep your curlers in until they cool. I normally just put mine in and then do my makeup. By the time I’m finished applying my makeup, my curlers have cooled and I’m ready to take them out. Once I’ve removed the hot curlers, I immediately flip my head upside down and spray the under side of my hair with my L’Oreal Elnett. This gives your hair amazing volume. After 30 seconds, I flip my hair back over and lightly brush any unruly curls. I spray my entire head with Elnett and it keeps my curls tight for hours. You can also completely brush your curls out for an elegant side swept look that just allows your hair to look bold and bouncy with less definition. I know it sounds like a lot of steps, but it’s worth it! After all, you want to look FABULOUS in all of your Holiday photos…they will be around for years to come-

Sally Hershberger Supreme Lift Root Spray

Here we go again. I need it, I want it, I’ve gotta have it! BIG hair…please? It definitely takes some work to keep my locks looking big and voluminous for hours on end. Some days it’s just a straight up disaster. On most days, it’s an entire process. From the shampoo, the styling products, curling then setting in hot rollers. Who has time for that? Sally Hershberger makes an amazing line of hair care products that literally blow my mind every time I use them. The Supreme Lift Root Spray, $12.99 at CVS, can be described in just one word, WOW! I simply apply it at the root to my towel dried hair before I blow dry it. It adds instant lift at the scalp and like I’ve mentioned before about her other products, the scent is intoxicating. It kind of reminds me of going on a tropical vacation. Some days I just think to myself, men have no idea how much work it takes to be a woman. No wonder I think woman are the most amazing people on this planet. We not only have the ability to rule the world…we look great doing it! xo

 

 

Sally Hershberger Major Body 3-in-1 Volumizing Spray

I know what you’re thinking, is she really talking about her hair again? Yep! So my obsession continues. I’m still on a mission for products that will give me more volume. I will tell you every Sally Hershberger product I have tried so far has been amazing. The Major Body 3-in-1 Volumizing Spray, $12.99 at CVS.com. didn’t disappoint either. I used it with the Sally Hershberger Supreme Root Lift. That’s fabulous as well, but I’ll save that review for another day. Like all of the Sally products, the scent of this spray is to die for. What makes this spray different from all the other styling products on the market is that this spray can be used as a volumizer, a dry shampoo and as a light finishing spray. This spray is infused with caffeine to give your hair that extra boost and lift that I so desperately crave. I could honestly go on all day about how much I LOVE this spray. Bigger is definitely better. After all, everything is bigger in Hollywood! or is that Texas?

L’Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray with UV Filter Protection

It’s almost summer and while I’m constantly wearing sunblock I often times forget the damage the sun has on my hair. So when I ran out of my usual L’Oreal Elnett hairspray, I decided I would try the version with the UV Filter protection, $12.99 at Walgreens.com. It has the same great hold and scent but will also help protect your hair from the damaging rays. With all of the daily stress I put on my hair with styling, it’s nice to know I can help prevent even further damage this summer. Now bring on the heat!

Catwalk “Your Highness” Shampoo & Conditioner

Oh, a day in the life of Hollywood. What’s better than a vintage dress, tiara and a pair of sequin Converse? Big hair! Enter…Catwalk’s Your Highness shampoo and conditioner. You guys already know by now that I’m obsessed with big hair. I’m starting to think maybe I should have moved to Texas. I will tell you, the right products make all of the difference in the world. Often times I find amazing products that I love, but I do like to switch up my shampoo and conditioner occasionally because I feel like my hair needs a change. I stumbled upon this Catwalk Your Highness Shampoo & Conditioner at Target. I didn’t want to spend my usual $25 a bottle on my beloved Fekkai, so I decided to risk it and try this instead. What did I have to lose, my voluminous hair that I am always trying to achieve? I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I even had numerous friends tell me my hair looked thicker since using this. What? My prayers had been answered. Ladies, there are a few factors that cause us to lose our hair. Stress ( i.e. MEN!) age, and over styling. SO take care of those precious locks, you want them to stick around for the long haul- xoxo
