Pouf Up Your Hair

Every girl needs a little volume in her hair. Weather you add some hairspray, a little gel or mousse, you always need to getthat extra volume.
Why, you ask? Limp hair doesn’t look good on anyone. It hangs around the face, throwing everything off balance.
A little volume does good to your facial features, not to mention you’ll have fab hair.
A great volumising tip is a pretty pouf. To get this look, tease the top quarter of your hair with a stiff toothbrush (make sure it’s unused!). The bristles on the toothbrush are perfect for teasing your hair.
Sweep that section back, tuck the ends under and secure it at the base with crisscrossing bobby pins.And voila, you’re all set to go out and look fabulous! link....

Must-Have Hairstyle: 50’s Hair Roll

So this season we’ve seen all kinds of hairstyles ranging from long and straight to short and wavy and everything in between. But what we’ve truly haven’t seen in a long time is the good old 1950’s hair roll, which of course, doesn’t look good on everyone, but I do recommend you try it just to see if it fits your face or not. Here’s how to get the look! This look is perfect for those hot humid days as it keeps the hair away from your face. Start by taking the front section of your hair (about the width of your forehead) and roll your hair under, using three fingers, until it’s above the brows. Secure around your hairline with bobby pins. Make sure the bobby pins are clear. If you have bangs, spray them with a light-hold hairspray and use a curling iron to curl them under. It will be stiff, so you’ll have to comb it out before tucking in the ends. Pair this hairstyle with a sleek ponytail or a chignon and finish off with a mist of strong-hold hairspray. link.....

Thick Hair
Try not to go for tight curls with thick hair since it came make your mane look droopy and heavy. Instead, stick to weightless, airy waves and curls. Start off by letting your hair air-dry to prevent friziness. You may apply an anti-frizz serum or cream. When your hair is about 50% dry, blow-dry it with a difusser. Start by curling random sections with a large barrel-iron, leaving out the ends so they bend in different directions and give you some bounce. Flip your head over, and brush out your hair lightly until you have subtle waves. If you have any flyaways, spray some hairspray into your palm and run it over your hair. link....

2.Medium Hair

Midweight hair can take all kinds of styles, but sleek spirals that actually twist away from your face are what’s hot right now. Start by washing your hair and applying a smooth spray all over to minimize frizz. Start by blowdrying. Once you’re finished, loosely wrap 1-inch sections of your hair around a medium-sized barrel curling iron starting at chin level. Hold the iron vertically as you twist it clockwise to create coils that fold into your mane. Once you’ve done your entire head, gently rake your fingers through your hair and shake it out so everything settles into piecey strands. link.....

3.Fine Hair

If you have thin hair, don’t worry about getting waves all throughout your hair. Instead, concentrate more on the ends. Start by blowdrying the top portion of your hair, from your cheekbones up. Leave the bottom slightly damp and coil it into a tight bun. Blast with your blowdryer until it is completely dry. Undo the bun and finish off with a light hairspray. You can use your fingers to separate the curls for even more volume. link....

Get Beach Hair in Under 5 Minutes

Getting that “just got back from the beach” hair look can be hard, especially if you didn’t just come from the beach. But achieve that effect takes no longer than 5 minutes and lasts all day.
Start by dividing your hair into 3 separate sections and braid each section. Mist your hair with a thermal-protecting spray and run a flatiron over the braids.
The heat will lock in the crimp so that when you undo them, you’ll have a beachy texture. Undo the braids and set strands with a wave-enhancing spray. Your hair will look a little messy, a little beachy and a little crimpy, but just perfect! link....
